Call Of Duty: BLACK OPS

[LocAL_anarchy]

Looking better and better each day. They switched up the perks a little, so that should make for a few new strategies. And the psg1 looks beast. I foresee it getting nerfed sooner or later.

[Chaotic_Warlord]

I would have liked to see the return of the M40 or R700, but oh well. I absolutely abhor the FAMAS thanks to the MP on the Rainbow 6 games and Counterstrike, it's always over powered and a favorite of glitchers. I didn't see the noob tube as an option, which is a shame because as much as everyone hates it, it is an awesome add-on for the rifles as long as they tone it's range down a bit. I also didn't see any HC matches in the gameplay modes which is disappointing. unless it's unlocked once you reach a certain rank. If it is in the game I really hope HC FFA is a gameplay mode, of all the gameplay modes for a MP FPS Free-For-All is my favorite.

How's some zombie mode with dead presidents for awesomeness?

Epic Zombie mode is epic...


This game is getting better and better and better.

This game is getting better and better and better.

It'll be hilarious after all this hype if it turns out to suck major a**.

I just came on here to post that...

Pretty interesting stuff. Nuke town looks weird. Also quick scoping still looks very possible hahaha

Biggest disappointment ever. Worse than MW2 because Black Ops is the one that is suppose to make all the pain go away.

Not only that, but what would we actually play? I remember when WAW got lame, everyone went back to COD4. MW2 is almost unplayable now, so we don't have that to fall back on. And a lot of new games postponed their release dates to first or second quarter 2011 just so they wouldn't have to compete against BO.

Go back to COD4? During the Javelin and lobby mod glitches I went back to COD4, had a blast playing hardcore. Took off some heads and called in a ton of copters...

Battlefield Bad Company 2 - nuff said.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 - nuff said.

No doubt. I love that game. But it's starting to get old, and the Vietnam expansion probably won't be out until Jan or Feb. And even that is only four maps. Like Activision and MW2, EA made it's money, offered some weak DLC, and moved on.

People still play the first bad company, you could always fall back on that. Ooor you could pick up Medal of Honor and scream at your TV.

I STILLLLL haven't picked up either of the map packs for MW2, I'm hoping the price will go down at some point, people will still be playing it a year or 3 from now.

Oh and even though I'm liking all the new features in Black Ops, I'm still not sure if I really want to pick it up or not. I might rethink that if they actually have HC free for all like WAW did.

Black 0Ps Decoy Grenade

[LocAL_anarchy]

That footage was odd. The rifle wasn't running out of bullets, no muzzle flash, and no brass was being ejected. Hope the decoy grenade is legit, cuz it deinitely would add a twist to things.

[RCA]

The decoy grenade is definitely in the game. I have heard about this thing directly from the MP design leaders mouth.

Will it work like it does in the video, probably but not 100% certainty.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Seems to last way too long...

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Who's getting it tonight?
I spent all my fun money on a 200 dollar bowling/drinking night so...next month for me.

[LocAL_anarchy]

I will be.

But damn, 200 dollars? I hope you were buying a few rounds for some ladies.

[ThatGuyRoger]

will be in line tonight to pick it up.

[RCA]

Who's getting it tonight?

I'm not.

I will be playing my brothers copy until I finalize my decision. Everything I have heard about it has turned me off so I will not be buying it unless playing it changes my mind. Right now I am at 50-50 shot.

If you guys want more details as to why, I'll post it but other wise it is too long a list.

Whoa, no kidding? Ok, now I'm getting worried! lol When you or MoD talk about a game, I listen. If you can do an abridged list so you don't have to type a lot, that would be cool. I'm about to hit the mall in an hour, so if it's that bad, I won't bother.

[RCA]

If you can do an abridged list so you don't have to type a lot, that would be cool. I'm about to hit the mall in an hour, so if it's that bad, I won't bother.

Here are my reasons:

- Wings of Redemption's video "Blue Tops 5" sealed the deal for me
- Videos of Black Ops MP gameplay

Wings discusses EVERY thing I was afraid to hear and the game play
videos have confirmed it.


No "sound whoring"

- I own a pair of AX720s and I am replacing them with a $170 setup, not getting an advantage while using them pisses me off. I don't camp waiting to hear enemies but when I am reloading I like to know when an enemy is sneaking up on me.

Ninja Pro doesn't work

- Every video I've seen online, the audio coming from the player is horrendous. It sounds like they are running through buildings with concrete boots. Making noise is fine, just allow me to be silent.


Sniper Rifles are nerfed beyond what they should be IMO

- For those happy with "Quick Scoping" gone from Black Ops ask yourselves a question...
How many times do you play online and are dominated by some one quick scoping? If they did dominate you ask this question...
Were they the host? Did you have a high ping or bad connection? If you answered no to all of those questions, I ask you this...
What is your K/D? You are probably not very good.

I have had one lobby in the entire time I've played MW2 that I was genuinely over matched by quick scopers. I have had issues with OMA / Noob Tubes / Danger Close 3 matches a night. Quick scoping is fun to mess with, but it's not some thing to do competitively.


1 vs 2 match ups will most likely be lost.

- If I sneak behind 2 enemies and the odds for a double kill is slim, than camping will be prevalent. What are the advantages of running around? I like my FPS to be slightly arcade like. MW2 was more arcade than I prefer but COD4 was a nice balance. I am used to having a better shot than my enemies so losing a 1v1 gun battle because he was aiming at a door first is not going to be a good thing.


Treyarch's style

- COD3 and WaW had a specific style to the way players sound, move and shoot. I didn't like them. It is difficult to put my finger on the exact reason but I just know I don't like it. This style seems very prevalent in the new Black Ops.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are a lot of things I like about Black Ops, but most of them are campain based. Because I plan on playing MP 80 times longer than campaign I don't think buying it will be worth while for me. BUT I will give Black Ops a shot; my brother is buying it and I will play it when he isn't. I plan on finishing the campaign, play some Zombies and most importantly, I promise myself that I will play AT LEAST 24 hours of online game play before I make my *Buy-or-not buy* decision.

This is by and far the awesomest commercial for a game (or anything for that matter) that I've ever seen...

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Is that Jimmy Kimmel?

[LocAL_anarchy]

Thanks for all of that info, RCA. I ended up still getting it, and got about 3 hours in. First impression. Obviously not as good as MW2. But there is something "off" about it. I can't put my finger on it. I remember first playing MW2, and I was like, goddamn!! But this, I'm like, ok, cool. Even with WAW, I was impressed. Just don't know about this one. The way it is setup is excellent. The way it plays isn't.

In that hour long video with the treyarch dude, he says they listened to what the fans wanted. REALLY??!! What fans were these??? You can only throw the grenades about 15 feet, and there is a noticeable pause between throwing one and being able to fire your weapon again. So I guess poeple were bitching about grenade chuckers. RCA was dead on about the sniper rifles. So people were totally crying about the quick scoping. And the 1 v 2 is indeed gone. Very gone. And the 1 v 1 is even questionable. That's what I love about BC2. If you come up behind two enemies and they are standing still, looking out a window, it's pretty fair to think you will kill them both if you shoot them in the back with a belt-fed machine gun on full-auto. Not here. Head shots are almost mandatory, more so than any other COD I've played.

My final complaint is about the maps. Too maze or grid-like. Not enough open areas with clear lines of sight.

A better screen shot for you Local:

[LocAL_anarchy]

thanks bro!

[Chaotic_Warlord]

Is that Jimmy Kimmel?

Yes, yes it is. My question is are those their real gamer tags on their weapons.

[ThatGuyRoger]

who got the game? who likes it?
