Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Alex_]

I also got 15th prestige last night. Took me 9 days, 8 hours.

 

[Arcanine]

I like the part when you rebulid the walls.

What?


Playing last night I pulled off a nice start to an S&D game on Firing Range. I got a quad spray and the killcam the first round. Second round I got another 3 or 4 kills. So 2 rounds in I had 7 or 8 kills (keep in mind all of that took place in like 40-60 seconds, both rounds together). The rest of the game was blah for me. But it would have been nice to rewatch what I did... but since theater mode is broken it didn't record the game. In fact it didn't record a ton of games. I played 5 to 10 games of S&D last night but it only shows the first game I played. It's not due to host leavings or anything like that, we backed out of the lobby a time or two as well (like we played a game, and then left, found another lobby, etc).

Has anyone else been having probs with the theater lately?

If anyone missed the videos,



This new Zombie map looks really great and I'm definitely finding it interesting that they decided to put a highlight on sniping. The new character cast is also pretty sweet haha.

From the looks of it, it seems like this map might be inspired by that novel that puts a heavy focus on a lighthouse. I forget which book this is... maybe that Word War Z? Then again, I think the whole idea behind zombies in CoD was inspired by that book, no? My Zombie background is rather lacking haha. I just remember reading something about a lighthouse and zombies a while back. XD

I am so excited for the new DLC, Zombies is my specialty.
The only down side to the DLC's imo is the fact that it puts you in lobbies with pro's, and as I'm not a great player, it distracts me from playing it.

Turns out that infinity ward let us down with black ops because it has one of the worst game engines ever.

 

[Ravecat]

Infinity Ward had nothing to do with Black Ops though...?

Unless you mean that it's their fault Treyarch used their four-year old engine to make a game.

Anybody feel like posting what their custom classes are?

I beg to differ, if anything it's the other way around. XD

I mean yea, I've played with random people before that were good... and all they did was play zombies. But most of the time if I play with random people it's just people who go off doing whatever they want to do. You say "Come here and watch this window" and they run off to another room and go down, you say "pull back to this room" and they don't do it. They open doors they don't need to be opening, and so on. I mean you don't have to be a "pro" at it, just think a little.

Infinity Ward has nothing to do with Black Ops. Even if the original engine was made by IW it was Treyarch that didn't use the 4.0 that was used in MW2. They went back to WaW and used that engine to make Black Ops. I can't blame IW for Treyarch not using the newest engine, unless somehow IW said no (and I don't see why because WaW was a modified version of the CoD4 engine).

~ Main weapon
Gaili + Red Dot, M1911 + Extended Mags, Frag, Hardline Pro

~ Long main
G11, M1911 + Extended Mags, Frag, Hardline Pro

~ Ghost
Commando + Suppressor, M1911 + Extended Mags, Frag, Ghost

~ Long Shot
G11, M1911 + Extended Mags, Semtex, Ghost
(Normally this would be a sniper class, but since I think snipers are broken...)

~ Chopper Down
Famas + Red Dot, Strela-3, Frag, Ghost

~ Tube
AK47 + Tube, RPG, Frag, Flack Jacket

~ Hacker
AK74u + Rapid Fire, M1911 + Extended Mags, Frag, Ghost, Hacker
(Did you know, at one time you couldn't put "Hacker" as the name of a class?)

~ S&D Main
Famas + Red Dot, M1911 + Extended Mags, Frag, Ghost

~ S&D Speedy
Spectre/AK74u + Rapid Fire, M1911 + Extended Mags, Semtex, Hardline Pro

~ Speedy
AK74u + Rapid Fire, M1911 + Extended Mags, Semtex, Ghost


Every class other then Hacker has Ninja, every class has Concussion grenades, every class has a Motion Sensor.
I tend to only play Search (S&D) these days, so as you can see by my classes most of them tend to have a "flip side" to them. The flip side to "S&D Main" is "Main Weapon", the flip side of "Long Main" is "Long Shot", and so on. What I do is the first round is I pick a Hardline class, and with that all I need is 2 kills for Spy Plane. 95% of the people will not put a Spy Plane up the first round (they'll save it for the next round), so I don't have to worry about that until round 2. Now between rounds I'll check to see if anyone has 3 kills, if they don't I'll keep with the Hardline class, and if they also had Hardline and got 2 kills for a Spy Plane they'll call it in as soon as the round starts. And since they're calling it in right away I have a chance to switch to my Ghost class if need be. Round 3 I normally run Ghost, and round 4 I go back to Hardline if I have a Care Package. Even if they have a Spy Plane they'll call it in right away and I have a counter in the pocket. But that's a shutout game, S&D you have to play by ear if things gets mixed up.

Killstreaks set is almost always Spy Plane, Counter-Spy Plane, Blackbird. Occasionally I'll switch CSP for Dogs or Chopper Gunner if I'm in a noob lobby.

The other 3 I won't bother trying to remember, but they're all lulzy classes. I doubt all these are exactly correct, but it should be close.

P.S. Has anyone noticed how much crap you have to go through to get marathon pro?

Yeah. I like capture the flag... sometimes, but I hate having to cap a flag 15 damn times just to get it. Would have been better if it was just "be the flagrunner x amount of times."

 

[Xyrin]

I need somebody to play with. I haven't been playing much so right now I'm not very good right now. So anyone up? I mostly play Dom and CTF.


What are your guys favorite game modes?

 

[hazard master]

Yeah. I like capture the flag... sometimes, but I hate having to cap a flag 15 damn times just to get it. Would have been better if it was just "be the flagrunner x amount of times."

Agreed, but I find capturing the flag to be relativley easy with the combination of smg skill, ghost (pro), and knowing the best flag run routes.

i.e. on havana take the side route through the houses on the side of the map A.D.S.ing whenever entering a room then grab the flag and make a quick turn around tossing concussion grenades behind you at the halfway mark. That strategy has gotten me 4 captures in one game.

Out of interest, how many of you guys would be up for a Video Games Black Ops event in the coming weeks? It would be hosted by myself and another member. Me on PS3 and the other member on 360.

Would Friday or Saturday be more convenient?
Feel free to PM or VM me if you prefer that way...​

[Razer302]

I unfortunatly sold my copy of black ops on xbox when i sold the xbox and after seeing the new map pack that will (eventally) be coming to PS3. I am happy I never rebought it. The game wasn;t as good as I expected and the latest zombie map which is the main reason I play is in all honesty a joke. They had a good storyline going in it and now it just seems like a gimmick to me. It has ruined the storyline I find with all the new added characters and I really wish it would go back to its routes and back on with the story.

They never work.

I think we've had two, and I think on one we had more than three people.

The one I did a while back had 5 people in it, but I know what you mean. It is difficult to get the numbers, even though members say the want them. :/​

[JP]

I generally try to join them if I can. As for a day, Saturday would be best for me.

 

[Xyrin]

I would be up for a Black ops game. So would we pubstomp or do Private Matches? For a day Friday would be good.
