Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Locoxx]

Yo guys! I have mw2, I didnt play it at all you know...now this BLack ops just came out and game stop is offering one of his trade in think and the only title that I have so far in the list in mw2....so you guys think it will be a good idea to tradein mw2 which I think it will be literally gifting mw2 to get a 20 backs off for Black OPS?????

I take it everyone has figured out the Zombies cheat now, Dead Ops Arcade is fucking immense.

I'm starting to come round to the game now, WMD is a great level as is Nuketown. And some of the pro perks are great, especially Hardline.

 

[Keyser Soze]

What's the "zombie cheat"?

 

[Dale C.]

Yes dead ops arcade is fucking brilliant. Got to like level 24.

The room of fate muahaha. The weapons room helps a lot also.

Also, this has been the best single player of any Call of Duty i've ever played, brilliant story.

Keep getting Black Ops game invite messages from people in my friends list on PSN

I haven't got the game yet and they know - wtf?!

Tried demolition mode again today as I've preferred domination so far in Black Ops...106 kills - 11 deaths I ended up with, that's my best so far was rather chuffed with it, me and another guy in my team were sort of competing against each other for top spot. He ended up with 93 kills & 20 odd deaths - still a brilliant return!

This game has really grown on me, I advise everyone to unlock all of the Assault Rifles to get the classified G11 gun - IMMENSE!

I'm starting to get really into this game now, with an admittedly slow start. I'm liking the Enfield with Silencer and Reflex Sight. Some times though it seems I have to unload an entire clip to kill one, maybe two guys.

Have to add; some quality emblems from people out there. Mine is pretty shit at the moment though.

I'm using MI6 with the ACOG, works a treat. Love the crossbow too.

 

[nev1612]

I've been using the FAMAS with RDS (changed to Teal ying & yang). Also loving the crossbow. It's quality when you stick someone in the back and they run off panicking!! haha!

Saw a brilliant playercard the other night. It was a horse with a massive bellend spunking all over the back of a gorilla!! hahaha!!:w00t

People tend to just camp with the Famas on this game. There was camping on MW2 (hold down a certain area) but people on this game just hide round corners waiting for people.

Treyarch could have made this game much better, but opted to make it more user friendly for those players that wouldn't usually be any good at this kind of game.

Either the AUG with extended mags or the silenced AK47 are the only guns I like. The Famas is decent, but the recoil is awful for long distance shots.

I have to completely disagree with this point.

MW2 relied hugely on killstreaks and was a lot more "user friendly" than Black Ops. In MW2 people played solely for killstreaks and the killstreaks themselves were very overpowered and so they did a lot of the work in winning matches. A lot of the perks on MW2 catered for more "noobie" play too which took a lot of skill out of the game - such as Stopping Power, One Man Army, that explosive one that people whored too when equipped with an RPG and Grenade Launchers. There was so many overpowered combos in relation to perks and weapons that it really didn't require that much skill to rack up kills and once you achieved a helicopter, chopper gunner etc it was game over really not to mention a nuke for Christ's sake.

Black Ops though seems to be more stripped with a back to basics approach in terms of the gameplay, and it works, mostly. The guns take more getting used to it seems and the recoil is a bit harsher (probably more representative of their real life counterparts) and it can be difficult to control at times but that's why you learn to tap the trigger in bursts for the majority of the time - over mid to long range anyway.

I've been playing BareBones Pure TDM a lot lately though, which is excellent. No perks or killstreaks. Just you and your gun, a grenade and some stuns/smoke (or whatever they're called now). So much fun.

 

[thenotsogood]

Agreed with Hunter. Sure it could be better if camping wasn't present, but seriously, I can't think of anything that would stop camping, it happens in literally every FPS I've encountered.

The only thing I can think of is a sudden death if you're stationary for too long, which I think is too far of a step.

 

[Ziss]

MW2 had overpowered perks/weapons/killstreaks but BO has gone 180 degrees and made everything underpowered (with the exception of Claymores).

An RPG shot literally a yard behind them and they don't die? Something is wrong there.

Oh, and I didn't like getting Quickscoped on MW2 but to completely nerf sniping like they have is just pathetic. They've almost rendered snippy rifles useless.

 

[Foxhound]

Has the lag fixed yet?

Noticed that with the update you had to download today in Black Ops...you can no longer continuosly vote to 'play again' on a certain map, you can only play on it - then vote again once - after that it takes the option away, which is a good thing because so many people would rip the piss out of playing on Nuketown.


Absolutely loving this game at the moment and the things like player emblems & facepaint etc just make it more interesting

I've had a few playercard emblems that have caused people to talk a lot about them had one that was a guy holding on to a burds arse with his cock in her (childish I know, looked quite funny though). Had a Nazi swastika as well (just to see what it looked like)...the now though I've settled for the Glasgow Rangers badge

 

[The Messiah]

Yeah I had 4 games in a row on Nuketown. I'm still not impressed graphics are worst & you can't snipe!!!

 

[Joel]

Anyone gone split screen online yet?

 

[chelsea11]

Yeah I've done split screen online with a mate. It's alright, since I don't have a headset I can actually use a bit of teamwork this way. The other person gets their own exp points and coins to spend, which doesn't affect your normal player.

I'm not a massive fan of the maps. Nuketown is fun like Scrapyard and Dome were for your massive shoot-em-up. However the only other maps I even remotely like are Firing Range and Summit. WMD and Grid are okay-ish as long as you're not being raped but the rest are really bad. I know it may be a matter of size with me liking the smaller(ish) maps but I just feel that in the bigger ones you spend about half a minute getting to a place with any kind of decent action only to be killed off someone sitting in a house or elevated position of some sort.

Swastika? Seriously? I don't mean to overreact but simply what is the point? You say it was purely to see what it would look like but that's tosh to be honest, every other lobby I go in I see some arse with a swastika symbol thinking it's funny. I've started filing bad rep against them too as well, it's one thing hearing bad language on Live which is expected and isn't a problem but to promote neo-Nazism is just embarrassing.

I agree with the face paints making it more interesting though, especially when you match your face paint to your uniform, I'm quite a mark for customisation.
