Call of Duty: Black Ops

[DinoLast]

Yeah. How do I join up? It's not like Halo. Oh well. Have to try again.

I think if you joined the party chat, you could joined us on the game, I'm not 100% sure of that though?

Loving everything about this game, the aug is nasty in MP, but my baby is my M14, with grip and red dot, Tiger camo, with custom lens etc, love that you can write on your gun and everything else.

Despite my hesitation my wife got this for me yesterday. It's pretty fun actually..a huge improvement over MW2. It feels like you are actually earning your kills in this one and not sitting in a corner the entire game. I played about 3 hours and got to rank 15 in multiplayer. Played some hardcore with friends and that is so much better than core...but then we always play hardcore.

Not sure what you are talking about? Every game I was in last night every time I died was because some _______ was sitting in the corner.

Yes, but they don't last long doing that. Somebody will find them quickly and take them out, unlike MW2 where they could just sit there and let their care packages do all the work

Yeah but all he gets is the one kill. It's not like MW2 where you could literally sit in one spot, get your 5 kills, get your predator, get 6 kills from predator, get harrier, get 10 more kills from harrier, get chopper gunner, get another 25 kills from that and go 45-0 without moving from that corner. I like how the kills you get from killstreaks don't count towards the next killstreak...that's what I was trying to say.

And by no means do I think it's a perfect shooter....Battlefield 2 is still so much better. Be nice if someone could combine the two. The customization in COD with the bigger maps/vehicles/ and different classes from BF2.

I just read on CNN that you can play Zork from the menus. WTF? That's cool!

Ahh I gotcha. Yea I would agree with that then. hehehe.

I tried Zork -- not my kinda thing. "Dead Ops" is actually pretty good, though. Reminds me of Contra for the NES.

Trying to man, I need to level up. Hardcore will determine if it has it's hooks in me. Also does anyone else noticed that the guns are quiet? I'll turn down the volume on the voices. Also with everyone muted it's a lot quieter...almost too quiet.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I don't agree that they made you have to be level 19 to play hardcore. Restricting game types is really lame to me in any game for that matter.

Everything is definitely quieter in this version, unfortunately. My Astro headset is still rocking, but there are no "headset perk" kills for me yet in this game. I saw a video on gamespot.com that said there was no "sound whoring" so I'm guessing they meant that advantage.

Got my K/D ratio from .50 to 1.15 last night and got the AUG opened and equipped. Very nice gun, one of my faves from MW2! I do have one BIG complaint though, the spawns are really horrible. They need some serious improvement!

at all the comments about corner camping and campers, etc. I'm NOT trying to start a war or anything like that, so let's just get that out there. However, I'm not a camper, I'm a strategy player lol a lot of people just rolled their eyes and said camper in disgust) and that's why I stick to mostly Hardcore TD. Just have to pipe up for us STRATEGY players.

As much as the guys that have commented that they hate "campers", I dislike the run and gunners. They are just different ways to play the game and I view the game as a war simulator in a sense. Most soldiers don't run around with a shotgun and dual wielded pistols on a battlefield. It's probably more realistic for soldiers to check corners, work in teams, communicate, and hold down positions. That's why I like and choose to play this war game. If I wanted crazy antics and fiction type game play I'd play Halo.

Two things that absolutely drive me crazy are people that get upset that people aren't playing the game the way THEY want them to just because they are getting beat. They gave you different class slots so you could design classes to take on different scenarios. For instance, one with a noob tube so you flush that camper out. If you keep taking your shotty class and keep running into the same building where said camper is...whose fault is that? His/Hers? No, it's YOURS, take some responsibility and tip your hat...they beat you.

Also, if you lose, so what, take it like a man. I get my a$$ beat on their regularly and while it's frustrating for me to get shot in the back by a guy over and over with a shotgun, (see, same coin different side) it is what it is. I don't go into the lobby and bit** about it.

Guess what? You can leave the room before the next game! No one is forcing you to stay and play. Leave. Period. Go find a room that suits your gaming style. If you are playing Hardcore (where people typically play with strategy) and upset that you can't run and gun...go play regular TD. The game types are there to satisfy (for the most part) your style of play and add diversity.

Now, all that said, I look forward to playing you guys online, I'll be the one holding down the Villa house.

Oh yeah, one more thing...to the person that made the comment about MW2 where you could sit in a corner and get your Pred and then your 6th kill and on and on. Killstreak rewards didn't work that way in that game.

Yes, occassionally the game messed up and rewarded you with a kill towards your streak for one of those things. It was not part of the regular gameplay though. Now if someone had a cheat or glitch or something going, well there are those people out there so it could have been. Just saying overall....and to the people that DO cheat on that game . Really, find something better to do with your life instead of coming up with COD cheats.

Let's just all remember to have fun...it IS just a video game!?!?!?!

That was me...and I'm pretty sure that's the way it worked. Someone can correct me if Im wrong that the killstreaks were cumulative. I remember my clan mates getting the nuke while having chopper gunner.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

If you guys haven't yet checked it out the Arcade mode for Zombies is awesome! Teh Josh, Spartan's buddy John, and I had a great time playin' it.

It did work that way sometimes but that's what I'm saying, it wasn't designed to work that way. It was an error that occurred occassionally, I had it happen to me too. It never seemed specific to one killstreak reward, just happened randomly.

I wonder if it had something to do with earned KS rewards. So for instance you're saying if one of your mates earned a chopper gunner then the kills gained from that reward accumulated towards the next one?

I was thinking of them as earned from a care package. For instance if you rec'd a Predator out of a care package, the kill you got for it maybe didn't count towards the next KS reward because you didn't specifically earn that Predator, just the care package.

Either way, I still don't believe the game was designed for that to happen. I believe in the load screens it said something about that as well.

Congrats on them getting the nuke, error or not. can't say I ever came close to getting one.

I think kills from care packages didn't count...not sure since I never had them equipped.

 

[The Josh]

I really enjoyed Multiplayer last night, it took a little while to get into, but I started getting the hang of it after 30mins or so.

As for Zombie mode, what about those Hell Dogs?

Yeah, that was a good time.

I don't know but they're brutal. Especially the ones that blow up.

Yeah. How do I join up? It's not like Halo. Oh well. Have to try again.

I thought there was always a join in progress option. If not let me know and I'll send an invite.

 

[FQRizzo]

It was grayed out, but I think I figured it out after I quit for the night. I was in MP when you guys were in Zombie mode and in Zombie mode when you were in MP. Don't know if you can 'join in progress' between the two.

 

[wofford29]

Picked it up today hope to get some games in.

Yeah, thats probably it. I won't be on till late tonight but if you're on I'm down for some MP. Depending on the time maybe we can get Dino, Mfoga, and another guy on my list and have a nice team.

Sounds good. I won't be on until later if I play.
