Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Black Ice]

I am looking forward to Berlin and Stadium. Snipers and shotguns will see a bit more action. I don't think I've run into more than 10 people in all of 2 months who have used a shotgun.

 

[Arcanine]

Hell yeah. I am one of the people who will pull out a Strela right after I hear "enemy chopper inbound." And if I don't have the class ready, I'll kill myself with my own goddamn Claymore or something and switch to the right class. I usually play with friends, so enemy choppers are down by the time they get to the map :D I think this applies more to attack helicopters, though. I can't remember the last time there was a Chopper/Gunship that was on the enemy team.

My prob isn't the fact that people shoot stuff down. It's the fact that it takes only one person to shoot something down. In my MW2 I was one of them people who always shot stuff down. In this game since killstreaks don't stack it's harder to get a Chopper Gunner, or a Gunship. So as long as a team shoots me down then it'll be ok (I won't be happy, but at least it wasn't one person with Ghost Pro). What I mean is by a team... have more flares. And I think it should be only a Strela that can take a Chopper Gunner or Gunship down.

And I've said that maybe 500 times in this thread. XD

I dont really prefer the chopper gunner or the gunship too much because unless your are on a gamemode with set spawn your gunship/chopper is going down, quick.

You can spawn trap pretty good on TDM. I mean it might not be like Dom where you just sit there in the Gunship and shoot up C flag and get a crap load of kills. But if you think head a little you'll know where to look to for their next spawn.

What are people thinking of the 1.06 patch? I've heard people saying that they nerfed the 74u to the point of uselessness, but I'd personally disagree. I'm not certain, but I'm fairly sure that the damage now drops off faster over longer ranges so you have to stick more to close quarters and can't use it as a baby assault rifle like before, but it's still damn good up close. If anything, I'd say that they balanced it fairly decently by cutting its range.

I haven't played the game and likely won't play it until tomorrow when the map pack comes out. But what they needed to do to fix the AK74u was to add recoil and maybe drop the damage for long range shots. There it is, 74u fixed. Because I'd be using a Galil and I'd be shooting at someone from a good range and I'd be killed by a 74u because they held the trigger down due to the weapon having little to no recoil.

Now we just have to wait for them to nerf the FAMAS and G11, then this game might actually be playable

There's nothing wrong with the Famas, nor the G11. The Famas is overused yea, but not overpowered.
As for the G11, yea it's the most deadly AR at long range (blows the M16 clear out of the water). But it's the final assault rifle you get, I'm expecting the last one to be good. I'm having to buy 8 other weapons (the M16 doesn't count because you don't have to buy it) to get it, it better be worth it.

Ok, so tell me how a gun that excels in all ranges, has SMG hipfire despite the fact it's an assault rifle, and kills faster than any other gun in the game, doesn't need to be nerfed.

The FAMAS is Overpowered...
And people are whining about the 74u?
Geez.

If it's up close then yea the super high rate of fire will kill you. But It's tied for the lowest damage for ARs (Enfield, Famas, AUG, and the G11 have the same damage stats). And the stats are almost identical between the Famas and the AUG, and yet you don't have a prob with the Aug.
And the gun isn't good at all ranges. I don't use it on my main class because it sucks at long range. Heck I don't really like it due to the low damage stats.

You know whats a great gun to use?Stoner.Slap Scavenger on it, with reflex and silencer/dual-extended mag and you got a dominating gun.

Extended mags is nice on it, but you can't get Dual Mags for the Stoner, the only LMG that has Dual Mags is the RPK.

And even after all this, FAMAS is still not horribly overused or anything. I don't see why people are complaining about this gun at all. Then again, I don't understand the massive amounts of complaining about the 74u either so I could just be blind to something.

I'm glad they fixed Second Chance somewhat, but they haven't done anything about the split-second where the downed person becomes invincible. I saw a recent video of a Semtex blowing up an enemy but not his teammate because the teammate was in the act of falling down.

The Famas is overused. I don't know how it is on the PS3, but on the 360 people are most killed by the Famas and the AK74u. They'll make top 5 without fail on every person's list, top 3 on 90% of them.

My prob with Second Chance isn't the fact that they're invincible for a sec, it's the fact that they can knife you or kill you with their primary on the way down. As soon as Second Chance kicks in you shouldn't be able to do anything until you pull your hand gun out, no more primary shots, no more knives. I've got a vid in my fileshare of a guy that killed me... he fired off 6 shots from his FAL while going down and while in Second Chance. Yea he was laggy, but still that's no excuse of being able to fire off that many shots in Second Chance.

The FAMAS is incredible over range if pop-fired, and at close range, you can get away with a full-auto spray.

The only thing that has a chance of outmatching it is the 74u at close range, and even that's 50/50.

You and I must not being the same Famas because it's crap at long range. Thus why I don't use it on my main class.

And put a Spectre on with Rapid Fire.... I dare you to do it. You'll quickly see that the 74u isn't the only weapon that can "outmatch" the Famas at close range.

Yeah I hate the invincibility people get when going down into Second Chance. I was putting the remainder of my M14 clip into someone (about 7 bullets) and they went down into last stand, still shooting me with their primary weapon! Bah!

Was this post or pre 1.06 update? Because in their update thread they say.
"Fixed issue where players get primary weapons in Second Chance."
And I'm wondering if that's a "Oh there's a glitch where you always use your primary" or is it really fixing the prob where people use their primary while going down.

COOL STORY ALERT

>level 20, unlock Galil
>first game with Galil on Firing Range, no attachments or anything
>I go 26-0
>team wins 201-4

Yeah, 201-4. The greatest thing about this perfect game was that I wasn't even planning it beforehand. I was just playing the way I play until I got to around 13-0 and then I realized I could go for a perfect game. I didn't stop running around like an idiot, though. So I still just run around and shoot anybody I see and I end up with a perfect game. The enemies weren't even low leveled or anything, I think the enemy team had a couple guys who had prestiged a few times.

This obviously went into my file share right after I finished the game. And picked another game clip to delete BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY SIX SLOTS DAMMIT.

But other than that. Feels good, man.

Nothing beats playing a game where you totally cream the enemy team. I love them types of games where everything just clicks and your team just can't lose. I'm not big on Dom, but I don't think I've ever seen a score like that. Really nice.

As the map pack is release tonight how many of you will be getting it? I know for me it is released at around 10am UK time and I am still in doubt whether to buy it or not. The zombie map looks good but that is to be expected. They have always been good.

I'll be getting it. I'm bored with the game to the point where I'm not playing it anymore. So I need something to give it a little life, and new maps and zombies is likely going to do that.

I won't be. I'm actually selling the game fairly soon.

Will you be buying it on another system? And then for that system break the disc and post a vid of it? And then go out and buy yet another copy? Heck, you said you weren't even going to get the game...

I am looking forward to Berlin and Stadium. Snipers and shotguns will see a bit more action. I don't think I've run into more than 10 people in all of 2 months who have used a shotgun.

Since you said something about shotguns... I'm listening to a Major Nelson podcast, and they're talking about Second Chance and they said Shotguns will kill the person even if they have Second Chance. As in they won't go down into Second Chance if you're using a shotgun. And I think that's pretty good, I mean if you're playing on a close quarters map and the whole team is using Second Chance you might want to give up that SMG and use a shotgun on them people.



And for people playing on the 360, double XP is going on starting on the 4th and ending on the 6th. So good time to level up on the game.

I'm selling it on both systems. And I'm not buying it back.
I haven't touched the game in over two weeks.

I think I'm going to steer clear of CoD since neither Infinity Fails or Treyarch can release a game that actually works.

Also lol@you for actually digging through and finding those posts. What a waste of time.
It's not like I was going to deny ever saying or doing those things.
It's not my fault I'm a Masochist, it's just the way I am.

my point is, you said you weren't going to buy Black Ops... you said you're selling the game... and yet you still view the thread, you still reply to the thread. You're talking about wasting time, and yet you're viewing and replying to a thread about a game you don't even play anymore, don't plan on playing anymore, and plan on getting rid of. I find that funnier then someone like me taking 3-5 mins to get them posts.

My dad just grounded me for not wanting to play zombies with him he said I was selfish.

 

[Karel_Kazuki]

Lmfao at the above post.

I will be getting the Map Pack STRICTLY for zombies.Its awesome to have four maps already,combined with my Hardened Edition WaW maps(unfortunately,I can never find people with those maps to play with) so having 8 maps is gonna be non stop zombie fun.

 

[Razer302]

I am loving the new zombie map. It is really fun and I love the sickle <3

Oh and don't do what these guys did. Me and my friends also did it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvIjRonv9oE&feature=feedu

 

[Alternative]

I heard the new map pack came out today. I rarely play standard multiplayer, but I'll still get it for the zombie map. It looks amazing so far. I've been looking up on all the new stuff, and all the new achievements/trophies for the game are purely Ascension. <3 I can't wait to use one of those weird russian grenade dolls.

I think I'm a bit of a zombie addict and I prefer to play it anyday over the standard multiplayer. I just can't stand that stuff. Maybe it's because the maps look really small and it just so happens to be the same thing over and over again in every single game. D: I've been obsessed with "Five" lately and beat my top score just last night, which also earnt me the Pentagon Thief achievement, which is always good. :D

 

[Karel_Kazuki]

The server for the new map pack is terrible for zombies.It took at least 50 tries before I could find a decent 4 player team that didnt disconnect.At one point,the lobby lagged out during a match as well.But when I did play,the map is awesome.I wont spoil it but there are new items in the mystery box that are extremely useful and fun to watch,as well as some good perks and powerups.I ha yet to find the pack A Punch yet,as I havent played multiplayer either.And Whoever plays the professor gets a new wardrobekand the story goes even further.Its awesome.

EDIT:(MAJOR SPOILER) We found the Pack a Punch Room.Made it to Level 19( Major spoilers)

Spoiler:

after trying to spend time finding the bears for the music(which we didnt do)The hardest bear to find is supposed to be near the claymore area by the lander.We were very low on ammo and the Pack A Punch room is a last resort camping area if you just need a weapon punched.I had the RPK and M16(only for wall ammo) Pack a Punched.Oh and there's a sickle instead of Bowie Knife and Stam Up and Diving Nuke instead of Double Tap.The best rooms to hold are between the landing area past the Speed Cola,the landing area by the Diving Nuke Machine or the Pack A punch room,but only after all weapons have been punched.Juggernog is always essential but the Nukes are great for if youre by its machine.A thing to watch out for is that zombies can jump to high areas now for some reason.

Its extremely fun.I have used major spoilers and advice in there.Read at your own caution.

 

[Razer302]

I played the new zombie map for about 12 hours straight. I am looking for some good players tho. I was just playing with randoms or on my own. I need to get 1 more achievement and I will have all the new ones. Would have done it but my xbox crashed on round 8 as I was about to PAP my wep :(

 

[Alternative]

From the videos I've seen of Ascension it looks pretty amazing. I'm not getting money until next week, so I can't play it until then. I can imagine it being hard to find a good team that won't disconnect. I think it's because you don't have a score yet, so all of these players will automatically assume you're bad at the level or the game itself.

That's what really frustrates me about zombies. People will leave you if you're not as good as other people, and I mean haven't gotten to round 25+ before. I don't care about any of that crap, because being a newish player to the 360 network I know how frustrating it can be to find people who will accept you to play with them. How can people improve at the game if no one's willing to play with them in the first place? I don't mind people who have only reached level 8 or something, but what I can't stand is people who have headsets and refuse to use them, or people who just don't listen to any plan you may have. Like this one time I was playing with three other people, which two of them had headsets to use. We had plans of staying on the catwalk in "Five" until about round 7-8, and then leave a crawler, go down and find the mystery box etc. and we had spoken all about it as well. The guy who didn't have a headset just ran down and turned on the power in round 5, which was extremely annoying. I guess it can be a blessing in disguise as well, since none of us had to open any of those doors at all. :/

 

[Razer302]

I use a mic depending on what time it is. If it is late at night I won't use one as my family are normally asleep so it isn't fair on them. I still haven't come up with a strategy for the new map. I have ones for solo on the other maps but the new one is quite hard to get a strategy for.

Got some bad rep last night after I "left" a zombie game. All that happened was my internet dced so now I have a really sucky rep on the xbox.

The online maps are quite good. I finally got round to checking them out. I like Berlin wall but no mans land wasn't as good as I was expecting. I wish the whole area was red so you can be hit by turrets instead of having set paths you can run through. It allows for easy sniping along each route through it.

It's not a waste of time, just a sec or two to find all of your posts in the thread.
my point is, you said you weren't going to buy Black Ops... you said you're selling the game... and yet you still view the thread, you still reply to the thread. You're talking about wasting time, and yet you're viewing and replying to a thread about a game you don't even play anymore, don't plan on playing anymore, and plan on getting rid of. I find that funnier then someone like me taking 3-5 mins to get them posts.

Just because I don't like something, it doesn't mean that it's not open to constructive criticism.

This is a forum for discussing our opinions, after all. You clearly attacked me for doing such. Black ops is a terrible, inbalanced game. In this point of time I'd happily trade martyrdom for the FAMAS, but Treyarch doesn't know how to make a balanced multiplayer.

Campers are driving me nuts. About 3 people on the opposite team stay in the same place the whole time. They always manage to throw grenades back and kill you and if you go in there and try to get them, there's always one at the door to stab you, and give the rest of them warning when opposing teams are approaching. It is extremely annoying.

Another thing that is driving me mad is when the host quits. I was doing quite well in a game (2nd overall) when the host quit. I had about 11 kills, with just 3 deaths, so I would have gotten a fair amount of experience. It pissed me off. -_-

 

[Captain Hobo.]

I can't wait until I get the map pack.

My rep's horrible. Last I checked 84% have avoided me and I've not done anything wrong!

 

[Black Ice]

According to their blog, the double XP weekend event will actually be for all platforms.

I have several friends at Lv. 50 without prestige, and pretty much all of them agreed on prestiging tomorrow. Now I have to get stuck playing CTF with them while they all try and get Marathon Pro :|

This is why I'm not actively going to go after Pro perks until my final prestige. And besides, I think I would rather have Hacker over Marathon Pro anyways. OR MAYBE EVEN SECOND CHANCE

Most annoying perk in the history of mankind.


Also, I'm going to be gone the weekend of double XP.
Fantastic.

 

[Graphical]

I'm thankful the Wii version is getting the Double XP weekend. We'd be getting screwed even more, as we haven't been getting some of the DLC.

 

[moments.]

Does anybody know when the map pack is released for Playstation 3?

Also, I've been having serious success with the Skorpion Rapid Fire. It has nearly no recoil, even with rapid fire, and you can shoot fully auto over range and land most of the shots.
