Call of Duty: Black Ops

Do you use that little video camera? I see snipers having installed it, but i don't know what it's good for, or why it's any better than just putting a claymore there. there are too many gimmicks for campers in this game.

fucking hate taking time out of a game to submit complaints of douchetards with swastikas as their playercard but someones gotta do it..

Also the summit level is pretty ridiculous on domination if one team controls 2 of the 3 points. Can easily turn into a one sided slaughter.

I seriously can't stand grid, can't get to grips with it at all. Am loving cracked and nuketown though, amazed that I've got my best killstreak so far on the latter.

are you one of those d-birds who camps on his belly in the second-floor bedroom of the house?

I usually toss a grenade or semtex in there every time I spawn - free money.

I feel like I get more or less the same sort of concentrated pleasure from the new pac-man game as from this game.

good grief no, as Jeff points out, that's the first place to get grenade spam. On that map I usually sweep behind whichever house I'm spawning at and catch people coming through, occasionally making a foray to the front of the house to pop off a few shots and head back. I'm definitely not one to go piling in running and gunning on that map - I value my lives too much, I'd much rather go, say 10/5 than 11/20.

still can't put a plan together on radiation or grid tho, even though that's come up more than the others today, with maybe the exception of crisis.

oh stoner LMG, I think I love you.

Incredible. Is it the only usable lmg in the history of these games? It seems like it pops to ADS as fast as any other weapon besides a pistol or smg.

It's just bloody awesome. Extended mags a necessity tho, fire rate is v high.

Alright - here's a video of me going 29-1 on Radiation TDM - not bad for a 40 year old. Also chopper gunner is crazy over-powered.

rpd and aug were totally usable in MW and MW2

holy cow - I just started using the underbarrel flamethrower - it's SO GOOD. So much fun!

You know, I've never even considered it. Can imagine it being handy on Hanoi or cracked (the shattered building one that I haven't played in a while)

note treyarch: putting all multiple prestige dudes on one team does not an even matchup make

ya i have that in my sniper loadout too

Prestiged. On level 20 now.

this worth getting then?

i am now fully climatized back into pc multiplayer fps gaming, if that helps.

Im at level 49.. thinking about prestiging but not exactly sure what I will get out of it. Maybe I will get to be put on the multiplayer teams with all the steeged dudes I generally play against with my team of the greenest of newbs.

well fwiw i hear if you do it 14 more times after that you can paint your guns gold

lol sadly I am an adult and dont have that much time to play. I love checking out player cards of multi steeged dudes and see that theyve played for 4 days +. Im over 30hrs and Im pretty ashamed of it.

the amount of playtime it would take to get up to 15x prestige you could probably work at mcdonald's and save enough to buy gold-plated guns irl... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=203910019 <--- only $1700.

yeah, 14 prestiges, took me 30 odd hours to steeg once, if we put that down to 30 from the first one on - since i was shit for the first hours of play and thus wasn't get that many points - you're still looking at well over 2 weeks play :|

fuckin college kids livin the dream. I could have prestiged 500 times in mario kart back in the day.

back in the day if CS had had levelling and prestiges i could have prestiged hundreds of times. i played it for an average of 2 hours a day for 5 years.

If Mortal Kombat 2 for the SNES did, I could have put a solid-gold iced-out grill on Baraka. He would have looked like one of the Ying-Yang Twinz.

so sad that the only way libraries can get kids to visit is to host video game tournaments

kind of an unconditional surrender imo

i think it's a actually a clever prophylactic measure against one of them deciding to come in and shoot up the building one day

libraries should not be handing out prophylactics to kids

I prestiged last night. k/d ratio is a less than robust .75. I blame experimenting with completely useless weapons such as the skorpion.

Kd 1.86. Ranked 5000 and something in the world at hardcore team deathmatch.

Does anyone else persistently have the problem where they get connection errors in team-based games? I have no problem ever with FFA or the wager games, but when I'm playing anything with a team it's a crapshoot.

So it turns out I was looking at my win ratio. My k/d is a somewhat more respectable .94.

I have connection errors now and again but not like every game..

34-0 on jungle.huey is too good in that map.

32-1 nuketown.a great evening of gaming!

still playing this. prestiged for the second time.

Got a copy for Xmas, gonna get hosed bad by all the dudez who've been playing for 2 mos.

just got this and MW2 thx to a dude who moved to town but left his 360 behind. intimidated since i pretty much suck at games like this. gonna get pwned

oh my god the single player on this (yeah yeah i know) is the dumbest shit i have ever seen

and i played just cause 2!

dumbest shit how?

was thinking of playing this but didn't want to get sucked into a multiplayer black hole. if the 1p isn't worth it then eh

haha well i dont want to spoil the twist for you, but since i know you and know you have a brane in yer skull, i will guarantee that you will figure it out about 20% into the game and then have to muddle through the last 80% waiting for your thick ass character to figure it out.

oh i think i've given up on competent writing and plotting in video games (i might start a thread on that actually). i thought you meant dumb in terms of gameplay or challenge

script is also awful, esp wrt things like trying to figure out how to make a bunch of russian gulag escapees say that stupid "hoo-ah" thing because the kids love that shit you know, plus hilarious casting of ice cube as a fellow vietnam grunt throwing down slang because thats how the black people talk dont you know.

i blew through the single player of both MW2 and this over the weekend and this is dumb as shit in every possible way in comparison - and MW2 isnt that bright to begin with.

xpost

the multi is nowhere near as good as mw and mw2 imo
