Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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




WOOOOOHOOOOOO POST 200!!!

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

:tpd:

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

This game?

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Holding out for Gran Turismo 5

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

Well I'm loving it :)

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

If you promise not to grief him in MP, she'll get an A?

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

absolutly great game

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

Like all the COD games it's far too short

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

Of course there is... :confused:

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

Not in COD, maps are too small ;)

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

PC player here

benedic08 in steam

PC multi is still stuttery but its gonna get fixed soon

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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!

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops
 

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.
