Ok, so I have a feeling this blog will be quite short but this is something I just had to get off my chest...... Call of Duty Black Ops Emblems. Not even Call of Duty Black ops per say, but any game that allows you to create logos or emblems.
Now, everytime I get the opportunity to create my own logo or emblem on a game, I JUMP on that opportunity. Myself, I love seeing what I can come up with given the tools the game gives you. Granted, Halo 3 and Halo Reach didn't give you that many options. I can't even remember my Emblem on Halo Reach if I am honest. When Call of Duty Black ops emblem creator came around, I loved the idea. I could not wait for the game to release and the added bonus of making your own emblem is bloody genius. I love it.
I had fears that leading up to the games release people would have a Penis's as their emblems, but I had faith in Activision and Treyarch to make this impossible. However, I was mistaken and my faith was crushed. In actual fact, it seems to me that they wanted people to make these stupid emblems. They have preset pictures of a cucumber, rocket ship, Cherries (AKA Testicles) and many more that look similar to a man's member. Then I thought to myself, well, they are innocent enough right? I mean, surely people want to have a cool emblem that defines them and seperates them from the rest? Well, I was right about that in a way.
It seems like 80% of the Black ops community on Xbox 360 have a massive penis as their emblem. Another 10% have a penis entering some sort of hole that I assume is supposed to be a woman's hole or something. I don't know. Guess I am not cool enough to know. Anyway, this in a way just defines these people and to me, all it tells me is the guy is a HUGE DICK!, Not "HAS" a huge dick, but IS a huge dick. WHY? That is my only question, why the hell would you want a massive penis as your emblem? When did it become cool to make a dick as a picture? Do these people sit in school all day with their dick treasure chest (Stolen from Superbad) and have like loads of different dick pictures and variations of dicks? I don't get it.
Do they feel a sense of achievement once they have finished their dick emblem? Seriously. What are they thinking while making it. "Yeah this is going to be funny, a dick as my emblem on my gun hahah no one will have done this." They must notice that EVERYONE has done it? And what do they think when they see other people with the same thing? "Ahh that guy is awesome look at his emblem!" It completely baffles me, it really does.
Myself, I like to come up with new innovative emblems. Ones I have never seen before. Usually, I will be playing and an Idea will pop into my head, and then I will try and work on an emblem for that idea. Sometimes I will see somebodies emblem that is pretty good, then I will get inspiration from that, that will remind me of something else and then I will go off and try my hardest to make a good emblem from the tools the game gives you. I like the idea of having a unique emblem that nobody else has. One that you know yourself, you made from an idea. People may have a similar emblem because they had the idea too, but 9 times out of 10 it will NEVER be EXACTLY like yours. Thus making you unique.
Which brings me on to my final point. How can you happily go to YouTube or somewhere like that, search in "Call of Duty Black Ops Emblem" and then copy one from a tutorial on there? Then happily keep it? I don't get it. Because you must know you have the same emblem as thousands of other people, so it just gets boring really fast and you don't stand out from anyone. Just like the AK74-u, the same thing over and over again just gets boring. No sense of achievement could possible be had from copying a step by step guide on making somebody else's emblem.....
To sum up, if you copied your emblem off YouTube, you got a problem. For those of you that have made your own unique ones from scratch, please link me to a picture of them or let me know and I will look on your playercard and rate your emblem. If possible, could you rate my emblems that I have made, and my current one? Thanks.
