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
― goole, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:30 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

i heard there is a button-mash element where you have to bury a k-bar tactical knife in JFK's chest. t/f?
― goole, Wednesday, 19 January 2011 18:33 (thirteen years ago) link
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

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.

― yachts on the reg, sex on the reg (jamescobo), Monday, 31 January 2011 18:57 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― goole, Monday, 31 January 2011 18:59 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― strongly recommend. unless you're a bitch (mayor jingleberries), Thursday, 3 February 2011 17:29 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

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
Flag a on discovery and the surrounding area definitely becomes a killing field, yeah. I pretty much only play domination too.
― problem chimp (Porkpie), Friday, 4 February 2011 17:58 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― gtfopocalypse (dan m), Friday, 4 February 2011 18:01 (thirteen years ago) link
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.

Thanks a million but no joy here.Xbox says invalid.Is it for ps3? I should have asked beforehand.Thanks again anyway.
― Black Arkestra, Saturday, 7 May 2011 13:01 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― problem chimp (Porkpie), Saturday, 7 May 2011 16:38 (twelve years ago) link
Aw, sorry about that. It is for Xbox, yes. Not sure why it would be invalid. Damn.

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!

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..

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..

have we talked about oliver north being somehow involved with this game? also apparently the villain is some sort of demagogue trying to incite a revolution against the rich/powerful? skeeves me out, codblops 1 was clancy fascist enough. remember cod4 and the half-assed "anti-war" quotes that would pop up when you died? that was some subversive shit in comparison
