I have already handled said product. It looks awesome!

[elderboy02]

Can't wait :banger I will pick it up tomorrow on the way home from work.

Yep. Looking forward to fighting off the zombie hordes as JFK :banger

[awsmith4]

It's not available for PS2, darn....

I did not pre-order because last year I pre-ordered and Worst Buy had like 1000 copies. One less trip.




WOOOOOHOOOOOO POST 200!!!

If the online play sucks as bad as Modern Warfare 2 I am snapping the disc in half. :mad:

Good news is TreyArch made this version, because Infinity Ward really dropped the ball on CoD:MW2. :td

MW2 is pretty much the only game I played online in the past 10yrs. So what made it suck? I thought it was great but I have nothing to compare it to other than Counter Strike and Team Fortress when I was in college in 99-01

You are opening a can of worms there. I never had a problem with MW2, however, a lot of people had a lot of problems--noob tubing, no dedicated servers on PC, killstreaks, quickscoping etc.

I loved MW2 though. I liked MW1 better, but still enjoyed the hell out of MW2.

[Bill86]

I'll be getting this probably tonight if not next week when I get a chance. Probably not playing online too addictive and I hate cheaters so much.

[GTsetGO]

i haven't liked any of the COD's after COD:3

they are all the same to me. Kinda like a van damme movie. Same dialogue, different location.

The quickscoping, boosters and hackers I did see as a problem but I didn't run into that much. Noob tubing and quickscopers are easy to fight against so they didn't bother me. Every time I saw obvious hacking I just backed out (like the walking AC-130). Other than that I am addicted as hell.

[chippewastud79]

Cheating, hacking, lag switches, glitches, host problems, connection issues, terrible map packs, auto-aimers, modded contollers, just to name a few. Infinity Ward didn't fix glitches, they had all kinds of connection problems for not having a dedicated server. Their offerings in the map packs were absolutely garbage. And once you bought the map packs those were the only maps you ever played. World at War was a better game than Modern Warfare 2 and everyone complained about how bad that game was and couldn't wait until MW2 came out. :td

[VirtualSmitty]

I'm in the minority for sure, but i've liked Treyarchs CODs better than IWs. Multiplayer was exploited badly in MW2, but it doesn't matter to me with this one. Four player co op zombie bustin is all i'm doin :D

This game?

[Apoco]

I lied. I picked it up last night. Mostly because I am updating my CPU and Video Card soon, and one of my friends is interested in buying my old ones but only if they can run black ops.

Also - because i wanna kill some zombies.

[awsmith4]

Well I'm loving it :)

[replicant_argent]

so, is there any real advantage to the hardened version?
4 extra co op maps? I imagine that will be a download soon, right?

[dwoodward]

I am getting awful performance with the game. It's so bad that I am convinced they didn't even test the game before release. Some BS right now... this video shows exactly what I see when I play.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpbWJ7wQtHs

Pretty much unplayable, they better fix it.

[hammondc]

Nothing like that on XBL, but having a very hard time getting groups all in the same game. Of course, right now, there are a bit over 2.35 million players on XBL playing this.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the game though.

Yeah, supposedly its a PC only issue at the moment. Seems to be affecting about 1 in 4 of players. Not sure what's causing it, but its really a game breaker. You cannot even hope to play with that kind of stutter.

[kaisersozei]

My 11th grade daughter just reported that her History teacher took off from work today & tomorrow to play this.

Not sure what to say about that...:sw

I really wanted to take a sick day to play it.

...although I pretty much want to take a sick day every day :D

[Beagleone]

I bought it yesterday. I haven't bothered to play games since Counter Strike on the PC, but I went ahead and got COD: BO for my PS3. Once I figure out what I am doing, I'll join the online community. So far it looks pretty good.

[sikk50]

Picked it up last night, pretty badass. I don't play on the Internet though. My roommate and I can't figure out how to use the co-op multiplayer mode though.

[Apoco]

GREAT game. Very, very well done. The story line is intense, and the multiplayer is fantastic. I haven't gotten to play zombie mode, though. I'm hoping to get a chance to today or tomorrow.

I picked it up last night. So far, so good. I just wish I could have Scavenger and Ghost at the same time. :)

[DocLogic77]

I was out for the midnight release and I would say there were 400 people waiting in line for it.

My thoughts...

Core is absolute junk. Considering I like to be a long distance sniper and find lanes core just doesn't do it for me. Having to shoot people so many times that I empty a clip on someone to kill them is not fun. I did find some success going lightweight with a shotgun.

Hardcore is nice. The shotgun attachment on the M16 is very nice. The flame thrower was a great addition.

Graphics...I think MW2 is superior. The graphics don't look crisp for me. the environment starts to blend together.

Maps...pretty good overall...very fun to play. I believe they are superior to MW2. With that said if you like to snipe there are less places to do so from on most maps. They have multiple entry ways to most sniping choke spots and it gets tough to protect your blind side.

Overall I give it a 8.5/10 solid game but does have it's issues. And yes the servers have been an issue but I'm sure that will get worked out.

[elderboy02]

I bought it yesterday at Toys-R-Us. It was 59.99 and then you got a $20 gift card :)

[mike]

absolutly great game

[sikk50]

Like all the COD games it's far too short

[mike]

yeah i just beat it tonight, but wow the multiplayer side is amazing!!!

[MiamiE]

I am going to buy this tomorrow! Doc we will play tomorrow!

[kydsid]

Somehow the irony of always ending up as Castro when I play zombie's too much.


BTW my xbl id is the same as my username here.

Headshots are one hit kills and there is no such thing as long distance snipers in COD...

[mike]

Gotta love Nuketown, close combat for killin>>> love it, was up last night past 12 playing, I'm on the PS3 network and my user name is monster45 if you wanna play or shoot me a friend request.

[MiamiE]

...there is no such thing as long distance snipers in COD...

Of course there is... :confused:

[VirtualSmitty]

Of course there is... :confused:

Not in COD, maps are too small ;)

[dwoodward]

Can't say how upset it is knowing that I still cannot play this game without lagging like crazy, and finding out the developers are on 'ustream' live all night leveling up their xbl characters.

They need to fix the game already, or I am taking it back to the store for a refund. There are too many PC players being left out to dry while the developer staff sits around playing zombie mode when they should be using the 400million dollars we gave them and fixing the god damn game with it.

[MiamiE]

Dude I don't know but I post up all the time with an Intervention in MW2.

[benedic08]

PC player here

benedic08 in steam

PC multi is still stuttery but its gonna get fixed soon

[VirtualSmitty]

Dude I don't know but I post up all the time with an Intervention in MW2.

Me too, but I wouldn't call it long range sniping. The maps arent even half as big as some of the BC offereings and nowhere near as close to ARMA size maps. That's long range sniping!

[sikk50]

I love sniping in Havana! Pretty fun, but there is deffinatly a lack of good sniping areas

[Bill86]

Eh the storyline was ok...but the 5 maybe 6 hours of campaign gameplay :td.

They do this every single COD, no wonder I refuse to purchase them.

I do not play but have not seen my kids in three days.

I enjoyed Nuketown and had fun wasting zombies.
Lisa's son Cole put in a 17 hour shift Saturday. I picked it up cause I knew he'd like it. It appears I called that one pretty good. :)

Three more days of working my ass off for school, then its Thanksgiving break! I WILL be leveling up the whole time :r

That it does. Camping is out, and spawn camping is real thin.
If you can drag a couple brothers to get your back while you snipe, it makes for lots of kills.

[sikk50]

Its not bad if you stick to a group and clear your corners well before entering rooms. The jungle level however is the bane of my existance

[68TriShield]

My youngest is "death by soviet" playing Black Ops. (XBL)
Maybe some of you can show him some pointers :)

[LasciviousXXX]

I haven't had a chance to play as much as I'd like but I'm doing alright. The multi-player is MUCH more balanced than Modern Warfare 2 but the graphics I'm disappointed with. MW2 had great graphics even if there were some severe issues w/ balance.

So far I'm diggin' it though. Was rolling with a decent kill/death ratio for a bit until I had a run of like 5 or 6 rounds with abysmal scores.

I've played a couple games w/ Stewshi on PSN, I'm Lascivious777 if anybody wants to join :tu

[dwoodward]

I am still chuggin away on the PC. Got to 2nd Prestige yesterday. If anyone plays on PC, send me a PM with your SteamID and ill add you to my friends.

[WyGuy]

I just got it the other day. So far I'm liking a lot more than MW2, WyGuy 06 on XBL.

[shilala]

I can kill zombies, that's about it. Cole sucks at keeping up his end, so we get swarmed. With crap weapons, it's tough.
I tried nuketown against robots on tard. I suck. I took a tantrum and gave up.

[LasciviousXXX]

LOL, I'm sure he was pissed. I love listening to mic's of the guys I kill w/ the Tomahawk. They are always so pissed off because usually its the guys about to get a killstreak that I smack with it LOL.

I will be another who says there needs to be a little more variety in the maps. Everybody doesn't always want to run-and-gun. A little "stategery" is fun too!

I agree...a few sniper maps would be nice..though i hate Nuke Town..someone last night got the attack chopper (whatever it is that you sit in the chopper and aim) and racked up 89 kills in one sitting. i didn't even have a chance to shoot it down because you spawn and die.

[LasciviousXXX]

I'm not a fan of that map either... its just random run and shoot. There's no skill or strategy involved and its damn hard to keep your k/d ratio decent on that map. Especially with spawn campers.

That being said, I do love the game and look forward to another 11 mos till the next one HAHA!

Tyr been really busy man hopefully will get a chance to jump and play some multi soon.

Guess ill have to try to catch up to your ranking sounds like your way ahead. I didnt evn know they had tomahawks

I'm really not way head at all bro. Although I did have a good round the other day. K/D ratio was like 2.9 or something. That's pretty big for me as I suck LOL.

I admit I haven't read this entire thread, but I used to do quite a bit of PC gaming before getting married and having kids.

Can PC gamers play online against console gamers? I thought this might be possible since XBox is a Microsoft console (running a Linux shell, I know). I cannot adjust to used the console controllers for FPSs. I regularly get handed my a$$ when I try. However, I do quite well when I use a KB & mouse.

REDMOND, Wash. — March 14, 2007 — Microsoft Corp. today announced the extension of the Xbox LIVE® games and entertainment network to the Windows® platform, bringing together the most popular online console game service with the most popular games platform in the world. Debuting on May 8, 2007, with the launch of the Windows Vista™ version of the Xbox® blockbuster “Halo® 2,” Games for Windows — LIVE will connect Windows gamers to over six million gamers already in the Xbox LIVE community.

[sikk50]

My screen has wavy lines when I try to play live games for some reason now. Idk why

[kydsid]

Just a heads up, that when you make Prestige you loose all of your points. So make sure to buy all the weapons and extras you can before you level up.

[bscottskangum]

But don't you lose your weapons when you prestige? I was not aware your money was reset when you prestiged

[sikk50]

Blah, looks like I'm showing warning signs of RROD :(

They are very hard. I do the gun game one where you have to get a kill with each weapon. I think I do good and get 5 kills in a row right from the get go, but someone else already has 12 :rolleyes:

I stopped playing them. They seem like more luck than anything else.

[Mugen910]

You know the other team is bad when a crappy noob like me goes 21-0 then finished the game at 32-3 ROFL!!! To bad the highest kill streak I had available was the chopper.

That's the same with every game. There is a reason I only play single player.

[MiamiE]

I dont think I'll be doing the prestige thing this time around. Last COD I made it to 5-6 and it was nice just for the extra custom slots.

[lyle23]

My room mate bought the game and i tested it out first to see if i liked it. I played most of the campain then played the multiplayer and after 1 hour i was bored of it. The campain was cool but not not worth the money. After a few days i figured I would give it another shot thinking it was an off night or something. I played it for another 2 hours and i was bored after 45 minutes. While i liked some of the new features, like buying stuff with credits I just couldnt justify buying it. If given the choice right now i would prefer to play counter strike 1.5 over Cod black ops. Another over rated and over hyped game by treyarch. Just my personal opinion of Cod black ops.

[Bill86]

No you're right. They spend no time on the campaigns, which last 5 hours at best. Then it's all multiplayer it's the same game over and over again. Counterstrike is timeless and was original. COD they just basically change the skins every year or so and ask for more of your $$$$.

[Bubba - NJ]

I just got this for Christmas on the Wii . It's the first time I've played a FPS on the Wii and it's a bit difficult to pick up .

I play on PS3 and I'm starting to get sick of games getting disconnected. It seems to be happening more frequently. Either that or games will just hang when loading. :bh

Anyone else experiencing this?

Not reading through the previous 6 pages, but it seems that there's some glaring issues with the multiplayer version of the game which didn't seem to be there for the MW2 version. Seems a lot of reviews I read said that MW2 had better gameplay and they felt this was a rush job just to get another version out for Christmas shoppers.

I think I'll be skipping this one.

Eh....it is not as bad as a lot of folks make it out to be. BUT....I only play on Xbox360
Likes
-Smaller maps keep the Snipers a bay
-no quick scoping
-Killstreaks kills do not count for future killstreaks
-I like the COD 'money' system
-Wager matches
-The extended reach knifing has been eliminated.
-No exploits. At least, when/if they are found, Treyarch patches it quickly
-Very little noobtubing.

Dislikes
- HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE the 'Second Chance' perk. There is no way that after I cut someone in half with a Galil and them have them hit the ground, they get a one shot kill with a handgun. Way overpowered and there is no way to balance it. Essentially, if some one is running it, you have to kill them twice

-Maps are getting boring.

-Joining a match with a large party is still SOMETIMES difficult. Every once in a while, the party will get kicked from a lobby before the game begins. It is rare and seems to be getting better

Is there a possibility that the multiplayer issues are more exclusive of PS3 than XBOX?

[hammondc]

VERY possible. I have heard of a lot of issues on PS3 and PC.

[CoreyD]

I just got this game for xbox 360, i agree its anothe cod game just more crap than last easily fixed with an update not a whole new game, I can't help to wonder how the medal of honor game that just came out is.

[loki]

been playing the single player so far an really like it, course i haven't played a cod game since 3 on the wii

[cigars_n_scotch]

I have already prestiged twice, on my way to 3 and the game is getting a little boring. My impressions of the campaign are that it's terrible. Storyline absolutely sucked and I don't like when you cannot skip through scenes, all of those scenes where he's in the chair and that damn voice is talking really aggravated me. Multiplayer keeps me busy but I don't like it as much as MW2.

Today I am returning a xmas gift because it was the wrong game and I am picking up Red Dead Redemption which I've heard good things about so hopefully I'll have another game to go to instead of just continually playing Black Ops.

RDR is pretty good. It is like Grand Theft Auto: Wild West.

The only game out right now that I want is the new Need For Speed. I do not want to pall full price for it though. Looking to grab it off someone for like $30/ $35.

I just got this for Christmas on the Wii . It's the first time I've played a FPS on the Wii and it's a bit difficult to pick up . There doesn't seem to be a tutorial to run a player through all the controls and weapons , that would have been nice . It is fun after you get used to dieing constantly . :gn

My son bought this for Wii also this past weekend. He's been playing singleplayer the whole time b/c we can't get it to load on multiplayer or zombie. Anybody else have a Wii and can help or knows how to log on to multiplayer? All the other games we own can log on, but Black Ops just keeps showing the load screen... I'm getting p!ssed at this game.

[lyle23]

well I did it, i swore i wouldnt but i went and bought black ops. I ran into an old friend i havent seen in a while and he said he has it, and loves playin zombies. I bought it just to game with him. What is wrong with me?

Zombie mode is hard! I assume you can only kill w/ headshots?

[Zeuceone]

Headshots or multiple body shots.

I am missing this game. Stupid dislocated shoulder means I can't use a mouse :(

I have a trackball that I'm using at work, but it isn't good enough for an RPG klike WoW much less a fps :(

Not really. I only like one of the maps, Stadium. The rest are meh: Kowloon is confusing (my least favorite), Berlin Wall isn't too terrible until the spawns just switch in the middle of the game and people spawn behind you and Discovery is a worthless map. They are already getting skipped over in the votes, if that is any indication of how much people like them. :2

Totally agree....except for berlin, I enjoy that one as it has a few decent sniper spots. Kowloon is possibly one of the worst maps I've ever seen

[Zeuceone]

Good to hear im not missing out on the new maps.

[MrsSledn]

Been playing Black Ops as much as my time allows. I am to the point I hate Nuketown and I used to love the map. Really like Summit and Firing Ranch. Who ever made the Jungle map... I do NOT like them. LOL

New maps are okay. Stadium and Berlin Wall are my fav's. Hate Discovery. Kowloon, can take it our leave it. I like playing on the zip line when I can. Still a confusing map. Most of my game play lately is Capture the Flag and it's getting ridiculous. Played a match last week where the top playing on the other team went 151/15. On friggin Nuketown.

Pokalina is my gamertag on Xbox 360.

Yes is was! Thank you. I try my best! :D I knew I recognized your gamertag! When I mentioned it, Wes and Doc told me you post on Asylum. I even said at one point when we were playing against you in WMD, that you probably hate me since I killed you like 3 or 4 times in a row. LOL

[chippewastud79]

nuketown is my favorite map by far. love love love it :sl

Nuketown is great for people spawning behind you and throwing grenades and launching noob-tubes everywhere. Little kids and people who aren't very good love it because they can get more kills on that than any other map (although going 10-21 isn't exactly fun for me). Kowloon has taken over as the worst map ever now, but Nuketown isn't far behind. Its just a mess for people who are more adept at killing people on larger maps. :tu

[Mugen910]

I haven't played in a long time but I remember Nuketown as being the worst ever..no tactics just noob-tube and grenades...

That's how I feel about Stadium.

Stadium is the only one of the new 4 that I can even stand. Seems to be the concensus on XBox Live as all the rest are skipped over in the vote unless they come up as random maps. I don't think I have played any of the other ones in the map pack twice in a row since the first few weeks. :tu

[guitar4001]

i need to get some more atari 2600 games.

[MrsSledn]

I can not stand Nuketown anymore. We all normally play Capture the Flag. It's the worst on Nuketown lately. It's fun when you first start, then after the initial minute, it gets annoying. Nube tubes galore, grenades every where. People just camping and holding on to the flag strictly for kills. I really like Stadium. I don't mind Berlin Wall either. But Discovery and Kowloon are pains. I can not get acclimated to Kowloon. I can't even play every night anymore. I have been taking the weekends off and play during the week.

[MrsSledn]

Just a FYI! New map pack is out. And starting Friday, May 6th, it's another double points weekend. They are extending the weekend until Tuesday, May 10th! So get playing and get those points!!!!

PS3 has an OS on it, like any computer. If that OS is exposed to the internet it has to be secured. Likewise with the servers that host the multiplayer environment. Any OS can be hacked, it's just a matter of time.

Funny how people rag on Microsoft for their security breaches but, it's bound to happen when you have 3 BILLION copies of your OS out there.

I suck so it will be awhile before I can buy anything :r
I actually stick with the MP5 now for my running class and will also get the AK74u and play around with it. I think the rest are a waste, except for the PM63, I just started playing with that as of my 2nd prestige and I kind of like it. As soon as I can get the Kiparis, I do. You can't get the Kiparis until you buy all of the sub machine guns though.

As far as assault rifles go, I stick with the M-16 with an acog as per DocLogic77's recommendation for mid-range shooting, then the FAMAS for running around, and finally the Commando as soon as it becomes available. That's really just about it. Oh, for my sidearm I use the Python with the snub nose attachment and the Strella to take down aircraft.

I stay away from shotguns and sniper rifles in this particular COD. I've used the M60 just to play around, but I wouldn't do so on a consistent basis.

i started with rifles then onto smg's the light machine guns, i find sniper rifles and shotguns to be pretty useless

[J0eybb]

I use the Famas, until I unlock the Ak74u... I just got the ak74u, and I am still enjoying the famas..oops.

[mfarre03]

The AK74u WAS awesome until an update came out earlier this year, I think it scaled it back a bit.

[yellowgoat]

My two favorites are Famas and the MPK5 with rapid fire, Light weight, marathon and the hardened perk. I seem not to get to destroyed with that MPK5 setup. At lest a slight fighting chance.

[chippewastud79]

Commando, grenade launcher, AT74 with Hardline Pro, Slight of Hand Pro, Hacker Pro for nearly every map.

AK47 Silenced with a Red Dot, Launcher with Ghost Pro, Warlord Pro and Ninja if they are using a lot of spy planes or have a chopper in the air.

Those are the two classes I use on nearly every single map, always start with the first one and switch mid-game.

I have also used the Famas and Galil, those are probably my 4 favorite Assault rifles. AK47 and Famas kick too much without a silencer. Galil and Commando have the best iron sights so I use them with the grenade launcher.

I only use a sniper on Array, and I don't like it nearly as much as I used to on MW2.

go to the reg perks, and I think its square to see how to get pro perks... You have to get so many kills, or kill 15 guys after reloading, etc. Once you get that it costs 3000 pts to upgrade it to the Pro.

Those are the two classes I use on nearly every single map, always start with the first one and switch mid-game.

I have also used the Famas and Galil, those are probably my 4 favorite Assault rifles. AK47 and Famas kick too much without a silencer. Galil and Commando have the best iron sights so I use them with the grenade launcher.

I only use a sniper on Array, and I don't like it nearly as much as I used to on MW2.

Every map is small enough that when playing Hardcore all you need is the M-16 with the ACOG and it works better than most sniper rifles. I loved sniper rifles in MW2 but agree that they aren't as effective in Black Ops. About all I play is Hardcore Team Deathmatch and these are the setups that I use:


Ghost, Warlord, Hacker - M16 w/ACOG and Extended Mag or Silencer Depending on the amount of Spyplanes

Ghost, Warlord, Hacker - Commando w/Extended Mag and Silencer

Because my accuracy is crap, a 3 shot burst weapon doesn't do much for me. I pick them up when I run out of bullets, but often can't tell they are burst or sincle shot weapons until I hold down the trigger and miss in just enough time to see myself get shot. :D :bh


All I ever rock is Hardcore Team Deathmatch, and most of my squad will roll with the Famas, including a buddy of mine who swears by it, he is the best player in the game. He rocks the Famas, silenced with Ghost Pro, Slight of Hand Pro, and Ninja Pro. He also swears by Ninja Pro, he will know you are coming about 30 steps before he shoots you. His 3.96 K/D ratio speaks for itself, so I am inclined to think his setup works pretty well. :tu

I don't understand how to get pro perks. Do I have to be at a high level to buy them?

If you go to the Challenges or when you are creating a class you can hit (X) and it will show you what you need to do to buy 'Pro' versions.:tu


Some of them are well worth getting, Hardline Pro is boss, being able to change a care package is highly usefull. You really only need on or two people on any given squad to use it. Hacker Pro is fun because you can change any equipment into yours, and hacking packages is awesome when they pick it up and blow themselves up. Ghost Pro is by far the best perk to have, you can't be seen by anything except Blackbirds. :2

So I just got CoD Black Ops. Question...in multiplayer...what are the first weapons you should buy? Any weapons you shouldnt waste your CoD points on??

I suck so it will be awhile before I can buy anything :r

Pretty much what Mario said. We all play together all the time. After playing with the people in your "core group," you'll learn in time what works and what doesn't. Doc, Sledn, Mario, myself, and the others we always play with, well we learn from each other what works. We have played together for so long now, that we just know what the other is going to do. It's nice!

As for guns... In the beginning, Sub machine... Use the MP5K. When you can, put rapid fire on it. I actually use that gun in later levels. I kick butt with it on the smaller maps. And it's good for your running class as it's the lightest sub machine gun. Once you get your Lightweight Pro and Marathon Pro, it's great. Once I level up enough, I get the AK74u. Put on Warload. Extended mag and silencer. Make another class with the AK74u with the grenade launcher. I do get the Kipiras at the end, but I never get to use it much. As for assualt rifles, I personally do not like the 3 round bursts with the M-16. I use it until I level up enough to get the Famas. I then go to the Galil. And stick with that until I get the Commando. I will occassionally use the AK47. As for the attachments, I get the extended mags and as for the sights, I rotate with them. I rarely use shotguns, light machine guns or the sniper rifles. I am a runner, so those guns do nothing for me and my game play. Pistols, Python when I can get it. Launchers... Another hit or miss. I LOVED the RPG in Modern Warefare. In Black Ops, not so much. I prefer the Strela although it's bulky. Practice throwing the tomahawk. You can throw it and pick it up if you have time, to reuse it. Get claymores when you save up 5000 coins.

Again, there are guns on Modern Warefare that I loved that don't mesh with Black Ops. You have to experiment to find what you like. I occassionally step in for Sledn and will fall in love with his set ups. I try them on my own and some don't work for me in the long run. Also, you can also play Combat first. You will learn the maps and there you can experiment with new weapons. You play with people on your friends list, but they are computerized.

Hope this helps! And if you ever play with Mario... Be careful he likes to join games mid way in and talk smack to you to let you know he's in the room. Also... he likes to flash bang, A LOT! LOL

[MrsSledn]

And I too hate having my butt handed to me by the kids... My 8 year old when he takes it seriously, is a great player.

I was starting to play during the day when the kids are in school. LOL

WooHoo made it to lvl 7! :r I am playing Domination more than the Team Deathmatch. I am getting better at the game and learning the maps.

I got like 4k of money to spend and I am trying to decide if I should wait for 5k and get claymores or buy some perks. I have Ghost, extended mags and scope for the M16....should have bought them fore the MP5 cause I ended up using that more.

I was thinking of buying at least Ninja next and rapid fire for the MP5?? Plus I need to get a good stereo headset so I can hear these fools sneakin on me.
