Call of Duty: Black Ops

I’m pretty terrible at this game. It is my first time playing, but in multiplayer mode i’m getting slaughtered. I get about 1 to 3 kills and die about 15 to 20 times. There were a few instances when i respawn and i die within five seconds which seems like bullshit to me. It is fun playing with friends over the headset though.

PSG1 IS MY SHIT!

been a lot of conection errors and other things tonight. Servers must be hella packed

Yer just a noob. I’m gonna pwn you soon over the interwebz.

So after day two I seem to have found my groove and have started playing better. I finally found some guns that I really like. The Aug is by far the best Assault Rifle I have unlocked so far and the PSG1 is a beast as always but the gun I have fallen in love with is the Stoner-63. This gun is amazing! Its the last LMG in the game and can only be unlocked after you buy the RPK and the M60(unlock the M60 at lvl 21 or 23). It only has a 30 round magg and has limited attachments but its really not that big of a deal. Give this gun a try!

What annoys me about CoD is how damn it is compared to other shooters like halo, which in my opinion balance it exactly right. In my first game i got slaughtered due to the excitement of new CoD, but the next game i hid in some bushes on the jungle map and got a 14 kill streak, purely because i was camping like a mother fucker. The worst thing about CoD is basically if you’re sprinting or are seen first, your dead, where as with games like halo its down to shit like headshots and timing of melee hits.

Yeah the part about if you are running and someone sees you first and you are done is annoying. That and the people that campout when you respawn.

Agreed about counterstrike.

As for CoD, are you on ps3?

Those are the things that separate games like CoD, MoH and Battlefield form games like Halo and to a lesser extent Gears of War. These games are made so that ppl can camp and if you know someone is sitting in a spot you have to flush them out b/c your never going to kill someone by running head first into their bullets. In Halo you can do that and get away with it b/c as has been pointed out someone can shoot at you, in your Mark XXXIXVVIVIII armor, all day but if you get a headshot none of that matters.

Now you get some of that here and there with CoD, more so with MW2 than Black Ops, chances are that if you shoot someone first they are going to die. If you have a camper throw a nade or flashbang, thats what they are their for. OR, this point where it REALLY!!! helps to have a group of ppl you play with and can talk to.

I dunno if I’m going to end up picking this up anytime soon. From what I’ve heard shotties have been nerfed + machine guns and the RC perk are OP = MW2 being better than Black Ops.

I might pick it eventually but Black ops just isn’t a must have for me at the moment.

Nope Shotguns are still just as BULLSHIT as ever, but now they take up your primary slot and not the secondary(as they should!). SMG did seem a little op at first but now looking at it I think its only b/c EVERYONE was using them. So every time you would get killed it seemed like the person was using the MP5. As for the RC perk, Meh, its just easy to get so there are alot of them and its about 50/50. I saw a guy drop 3 back to back to back and not hit anyone with any of them.

if i hadn’t got it yet i’d wait a few weeks when the servers aren’t shit… right now i’m lagging out of 1 of every 2 games… its kinda annoying esp if u play during the peak hours 5-9…

anyone seem to have a tough time dealing with the recoil? im not gonna lie i used use stopping power with an aug and a grip and i would avg about 13-15 kills at least in mw2 but in black ops it seems as though there’s much more recoil… also the enemy seems like they are much smaller than in mw2 its almost as if you took your computer screen from 1440 x 900 to 1280 x 720…

another note is the level of detail on the map is crazy lots of times the enemy will blend in… by blend in i mean if ure scoping someone from far away its almost as if u’ll miss them on the first pass…

Yeah definitely. The recoil seems to bounce around to the left and right in a more sporadic manner. As opposed to the muzzle just climbing as you shoot.

Also, agreed. My “Rambo” class in MW2 I’d use the Aug with Stopping Power, Grip and FMJ…You move slow as shit, but just a quick little tap and the enemy was down.

And again, I too am lagging like crazy. I’ll see enemies just running in place and I’ll mow them down. Though, I’m sure I appear that way to those shooting at me from time to time.

All of your problems will be solved when you unlock that damn Ak… it is amazing, trust me.

Oh and easiest challenge to complete press the right and left triggers at the main menu… You are actually just sitting in a chair and you can walk around the room. Pretty trippy…

Any of you guys record? heres a fun FFA game if you interested: Black Ops FFA Firing Range 30-4 - YouTube

^^^ Awesome match.

Here is a sweet back to back triple kill I got. Sound came out gitchy. MY PSN is in the title of the video for those that want to play together.

Also , some things I’ve noticed:

The game is glitchy still but fun. I called in a care package on Firing Range and it just fell through the map twice.

I’ve had people spawn directly in front of me which is terrible. I hated the spawns in MW2 but they felt better than this game does.

The small maps in this game are a little too small.

Sniper rifles and shotguns are pretty much impossible to use against other guns.

On PS3, it drops and lags a lot along with the screen freezing occasionally after matches.

I hate the way the maps are voted for. People end up voting for the same map over and over again. I’m tired of playing maps 3-4 times in a row. Was better in MW2 with the random maps that you could vote to skip.

I really like how you can customize every aspect of your gun.

agree with the spawns…

oh no i died… respawnboom headshot… repeat…

Stop complaining. The spawns aren’t that bad.

Stop complaining and get the game. If you can afford a mansion, then you can afford this game. Damn South African Drug Lord.
