definitely excited about this now. not watched anything new or read anything more about it. just a palpable feeling of anticipation since watching that video.

played the beta yesterday. pretty fun. some minor tweaks but its essentially the same game. the perks are identical except 1 new one. the art looks a little different. seemed like there was more color and less dark than mw2.

Im reading reviews to see if anyone felt like pointing out the bad points and its a constant stream of 9/10s. With games on metacritic I feel like only the outlier reviews are the ones you need to read and theres not many for Black Ops just yet..

I saw some stuff bitching about the servers or something. Still on the fence about buying it, can't really afford to at the moment anyway.

Hit level 2 last night bitches. 1.2 k/d ratio. Pwnin y'all.
― mayor jingleberries, Wednesday, 10 November 2010 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Got up to 7, which I was pleased with for 3 hours play. K/d ratio not nearly so good though. Not nearly so bad as some though. On nuketown I saw a couple going 10/30 or so, is crazy. Maybe I value my own life too much but would much rather go 5/4 than just keep running into the middle of a shit fight ad infinitum. Grim reaper is fun tho, especially when you nick someone else's after shooting them in the arse.....

Level 21,5 hours.pretty good,few quabbles (spawning can be a bit silly,no xp for wager matches,some of the maps are too big) and it's not adding much to previous iterations but it's decent.

Chopper gunner is a bloody beast of a reward, especially on small maps like firing range. I swear I got killed about 6 times over without so much as moving last night. Also, my reactions are way too slow for running round close quarters, i just get slaughtered.

I've been holding my own. I dont feel as griefed as much as I did playing MW2 which is a nice change.
I got the attack dogs yesterday as part of a care package which led to a so far black ops career best 17-7 performance.
― mayor jingleberries, Thursday, 11 November 2010 18:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Those dogs are a right bunch of buggers. Chris, exactly, at 37 I'm definitely feeling that this is a young mans game. Still enjoy it though, have mainly been playing domination where you can get some decent points. Only played one wager match so far, may have to go and have some more of a go in a minute.

― goole, Friday, 12 November 2010 01:55 (thirteen years ago) link
I am terrible at this game. It took me a long time to regularly get my K/D ratio above 1 in MW2, though, so I look forward to not sucking in six weeks or so.
I really wish someone would bring out another Rainbow Six: Vegas-style game with the multiplayer quality of MW2/Black Ops. Camping is boring and running and gunning gets frustrated when you keep getting nailed in the back. I'd like a game that rewards moving deliberately with some basic tactical thinking.

I was doing well last night and all of a sudden I am getting absolutely destroyed. Been experimenting with some of the intro guns like the 2x shot gun, the mp5 and the lmgs and they are fucking horrible. Guess I should just stick with the girl who brought me.

Ha, sounds familiar. Got hit by the chopper gunner on jungle last night, 5 spawns, 5 immediate deaths. Tried waiting to auto-spawn rather than hitting x, no good, still cut down straight away. Is very frustrating. Is a shame too as jungle is the map I most feel like I've worked out, along with Havana. Had a lovely game of domination on there.

― problem chimp (Porkpie), Friday, 12 November 2010 17:56 (thirteen years ago) link
First time I used the sniper rifle I had a decent run. Got like 8-9 kills. I do feel that the key is to get your kill and then move on and try to get a killstreak that will help you get more than just the handful of kills you can get with the rifle.

Holding my own nicely on discovery and Berlin (sniping on the latter is a joy, a rare thing in codblops), but stadium, ugh. I suck so bad on that map, I just can't getmy head around it. Weirdest thing though, have played 5 hours since first strike came out, not had Kowloon once.
― problem chimp (Porkpie), Thursday, 3 February 2011 22:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Kowloon and Berlin are the best new maps imo. Discovery and Stadium are nightmares in domination, which I pretty much play all the time.
I guess discovery can be good if the teams are even-ish. If its lopsided youre gonna get shepherded behind one checkpoint and summarily raped.
― strongly recommend. unless you're a bitch (mayor jingleberries), Friday, 4 February 2011 17:33 (thirteen years ago) link
