Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

Anyone know if there's a way to check if I linked my PSN to my cod account right?

Edit: Quickscoping.

Yeah saw it earlier and I think I prefer the standard scope still. Wanna' practice in some combat training tonight/tomorrow leroy?

I got a good quality mic, I'll have my FFA gameplay up tonight. Unfortunately, it isn't a live recording but rather a PVR recording of Theater mode, so some of the scope angles are off. I'm sure ya'll will enjoy it, though.

I'm pretty disappointed with this so far. Feels like significant step back for CoD. I think this pretty much solidifies IW > Treyarch. It's okay as far as games go, but on the CoD-meter, it's average.

Yeah I'm game. Taking a break for a lil, watching Southpark but I'll be back on after. I tried combat training once, but you have to level up in combat training separate from online modes? When I went it it took away all m shit and started me at level 1.

Edit: and if you wanna see my awesome quickscope, you can go to gun game on array and skip to the L96 part. Still deciding on motion sensor or jammer.

I am completely blown away that you could seriously think that. MW2 was horrible in just about every way imaginable. Its only redeeming quality was the selection of Spec Ops missions, which were a lot of fun (I'm very disappointed that we don't have any similarly interesting type of Co-Op mission in Black Ops). Multiplayer was ridden with hacks, glitches and unbalanced mechanics which are consistently abused.

Admittedly, Black Ops still has problems. For example: knifing is still extremely over-powered. The "balance" adjustment to explosives made regular grenades all but worthless, whereas the main problem in previous games was rifle grenades and RPGs. The "balance" adjustment to sniper rifles didn't do as planned - quickscoping is still possible but sniping legitimately is almost impossible because nothing kills anyone in one hit anymore. And, finally, the kill streaks are ridiculous. Half of them are useless and the ones that are good are way too over-powered. Again, developers confused about how to actually accomplish "game balance."

MW2 suffered from what I call "more shit syndrome." They heard what people thought was good about Modern Warfare, and thought, "Let's just throw more shit at it, and this game will be even better!" But they didn't have a clue what they were doing, and the abomination that was created was Modern Warfare 2, which is more like the illegitimate love child of Halo and Modern Warfare than a decent FPS.

On the whole, though, I would say Black Ops is a very significant improvement over MW2.

go into setup user options and make a new login for the ps3. you'll have to choose which you log on to each time you boot.

I think it improves on features, but technically speaking, I think it definitely feels less polished. I'll clarify in a minute.

My connection keeps getting dropped randomly. Happens in Games, Create-a-class, Server searching, or even when first booted and I hit Find Server. It seems to disconnect any other program active at the time too, like Team Speak 3 and Steam.

Anyone have a fix, should I wait or call the Activision fuckers?

I agree with Therin. MW2 was probably one of the best LOOKING FPS games I've ever played. But because of the massive amount of bullshit they added to it, it really ruined the entire game. There was no reason to add something allowing you to have infinite over powered grenade launchers. There's also no reason for M203's to be in any FPS game but, all of these developers seems fucking retarded.

[BadKarma]

^go outside, you shouldn't be level 48 already :3

[Eggroll]

Oh man, HS10 rapes everything on Nuketown, they're so much fun to use. Sort of sucks that dual wield HS10 completely outclasses every shotgun, no real reason to use any other shotty once you unlock them.

There also shouldn't be a game ending ability.

I agree with you guys completely about the bullshit in MW2. This is the eternal battle between me and my brother. He thinks all the bullshit is okay, I do not. I wasn't referring to the game as a whole, mostly the mechanics and polish.

This includes a fair amount of my own opinion, so take it as you will but here are some of my problems in just a few hours of play:

MP - The lag is crazy, I know it's something they will probably fix and will be remedied as people lose interest, but there is no excuse for this amount of lag. I've had about ~20 matches just end abruptly, and my internet connection is very good. I don't know if this is a side-effect of the lag but I've been knife killed when the person was not even in front of me, several times. I watched the kill cam just to confirm and sure enough, they stabbed air and I died. I've stabbed dead on at faces and nothing. A couple times my gun would not fire, probably lag again, not sure, but the other player had no problem shooting me. My controllers are also fine. The guns have lost a lot of their weight and kick, which for me, breaks the immersion a bit. It's not terrible, but that was one of my favorite parts of MW. Also, IMO, the guns are a lot less interesting. In MW I used to be excited to unlock certain guns, not so much anymore, whatever I get, I get. This is a little more personal as I know a decent amount about guns and most people probably don't give a shit.

My only big gripe with Single player (playing on Veteran), is the once again unlimited spawning enemies. I got to a couple parts that I knew enemies would be ahead of me in a hallway (they had already killed me a couple times), but they wouldn't spawn until I took 2 steps forwards, without cover mind you. Also, I like a challenge, but in Veteran, I often get shredded before my gun can even make it around a corner, no exaggeration. Gets as far as my shoulder, and I'm down. But like I said, biggest thing is the spawning enemies, I thought they took care of that last game.

I do still like this game... I like the removal of a lot of the bullshit, especially the nuke. I just felt like MW2 was so much more polished and felt better to play. MW1 is still my favorite though... and yes I miss Spec Ops more than anything else from CoD. That was my favorite mode, probably in any FPS.

Edit: Just to be clear, aside from Spec Ops and the technical side of MW2, I didn't like it all that much as a result of the "bullshit" as you guys properly termed.

Anyone else using the Galil? Holy christ this thing is disgusting.

Wouldn't be a big deal if you actually had to aim down sight in order to launch them accurately, but apparently our characters can hip-fire an M203 with perfect accuracy. Must be that convenient range indicator in the middle of the screen.
