Call of Duty: Black Ops

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

i heard there is a button-mash element where you have to bury a k-bar tactical knife in JFK's chest. t/f?

there are definitely some bad gameplay moments too, including closing the game with the dumbest quicktime trigger pull event EVER. (haha not JFK btw xpost) lots of points where the purpose of your waypoint makes no sense, and cheaty endless respawn shit and so on. grenade throwback mechanic is frequently broken as well which is super agravating.

Some good CoD numbers in the paper this morning:

There are about 323 million kills every 24 hours - more than the entire population of the USA.
28 million of those were headshots.
2 million were stabbed in the back.
19,000 tonnes of grenades were used.
6,250km (if laid end to end) of crossbow bolts were fired.

Fuuuuck nuketown.

Actually in general the multiplayer maps in this feel kinda dumb and cartoony compared to mw2

new maps tomorrow!

dual wielding pythons, like a shotgun.

trying out the stoner, have a hard time with it. still loving the Famas.

I really like the stoner, but am possibly loving the Galil more, just feels right, and so accurate at long range, even with silencer. Not that I'm getting much chance to Play at the moment.

anyone know where I can go to see whiny butthurt hackers complaining about the PSN/Treyarch recent banwave? that stuff will never get old.

also http://botchweed.com/ps3/treyarch-say-thank-you-community-says-fuck-you/

so what is the story on the banwave? substance of it?

i'm assuming there's a dozen totally broken exploitable things about the mp, there always is on games like this, but i haven't paid attention

I had heard Sony was pushing for the banwave due to the PS3 getting hacked to within an inch of its life and this would be a good way to clear out a decent number of the ha><orz

the berlin map is awesome, discovery is pretty nice, not seen anything of the other 2, which is a shame as I really want a go at them

ok, stadium is haaaaaaard

lots of new camping opportunities in the new maps

my game has been shittier than ever recently.. think it has alot to do with some serious cod murderers and thugs coming back to the game for new maps after taking a break.

bought the new maps, then promptly remembered that i can't really be bothered with this game anymore, unless i'm playing with my pals. I'm not far off my 3rd prestige though, so not like i didn't get any hours out of it.

Kowloon is a tricky bastard of a map. played it 3 or 4 times and was still totally bewildered.

I just stayed in the middle and used motion to detector to pwn people since I was trying to unlock hacker pro

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.

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.

Flag a on discovery and the surrounding area definitely becomes a killing field, yeah. I pretty much only play domination too.

I figure this is as good a place to ask as any: Does anyone play the older CoDs (1, 2, 3) any more? I really liked 2 and 3.

berlin is my fav new map. usually i just sit behind the box on the opening spawn facing down the alley way and unload some ass kicking with the psg1.

that gun is a beast with no attachments, my new favorite.

I have a UK redemption code for the Escalation map pack. Anyone want?

Please.

ILX mailed!

Thanks a million but no joy here.Xbox says invalid.Is it for ps3? I should have asked beforehand.Thanks again anyway.

am enjoying the escalation maps I've played, Stockpile has a lovely flow to it, Convoy is good but has a couple of nasty chokepoints. Hotel? Hmmm not so much, too similar to highrise in previous also v similar to the one with the ice hockey stadium from last lot.

Aw, sorry about that. It is for Xbox, yes. Not sure why it would be invalid. Damn.

hey guys oliver north is a "consultant" or some shit on the new modern warfare game, fuck this franchise

i assume that the "chain-smoking convert to islam" who runs the cia drone program makes semiannual surprise calls to the top five or so kids on the leaderboard for this thing, like in the last starfighter

the lolest was in MW2 where when you died the loading screen would quote rumsfeld at you

If the commercial is any indication, there may be a subplot where people get to kill Anonymous dudes or something. Take that, nerds!

not buying any more treyarch games in this series

I liked the multiplayer in black ops alot.. was less of a horrible noob tube fueled kill streak clusterfuck like mw2 (and I guess mw3) but the single player campaign in all cod games is pretty much garbage..

so i guess the next one is future-y

the deal they had with zampella and west forbade them (treyarch) from making anything more recent than 1975.. now that that deal is torn up they can do whatever they want

but the future stuff looks seriously stupid.. but Im a bf3 stan so Im biased..

i'm a little but curious i guess; will it be realist-ish darpa stuff like i read about on the wired danger room blog, or, like, halo

they are sort of running out of assault rifles to model tho

should go back to WWII or even WWI imo
