The Call of Duty Thread

[Empoleon Bonaparte]

I reserved the game but won't pick it up till tomarrow, sombody tell me if online is full of ******* that call everybody F@gots when they get killed. That's the main reason why I don't play as much anymore,13 year old badasses.

use mute function

great success

[(s.i.e)]

MW2's fail was the communities fault? Mmm, close but no cigar gentlebro. (even though there were plenty of assholes to be had)

hm, overabuse of glitches and flamers were the most common problems in onlineplay but let's hear your story S_P.

i mute all players standard and my PMbox proves otherwise>_>
on PSN players can look up the list of users they encountered in online play from the menu, simply find the one you wish to insult and send a untitled message to him telling that he's a n00b*** son of a *****.

i'm pretty sure Xbox users have the same thing.

Beat the campaign on Regular within one day. Good story, very good story. I won't give anything away.
Then I went online and did pretty well with the MP5K. Online is good and is IMO, balanced.

My biggest disappointment is that Combat Training requires Gold. This is the biggest flaw of the game. I was really looking forward to playing Combat Training against bots with my little brother, who only has a Silver account. I really hope there's some kind of patch that becomes available.

[Empoleon Bonaparte]

It's short, but good nevertheless. It took me 9 hours or something on Regular.

And yeah, MP5K is probably the new UMP because it's so damn balanced.

Really? That sucks, just another gimmick to get people to buy Live. Tsk tsk, typical Microsoft.

If DICE was handling the game, those problems would have been patched in a month tops if they were shipped in the first place. Infinity Ward didn't patch them all in a year.

HO LEE CRAP GUYS BLACK OPS IS RUINED FOREVAR

[Slick]

I'm at school, but is that the Floating Apple glitch? I played a match on Villa (that map) this morning and I spawned where it was, so I immediately did it. I lol'd.

It took you 9 hours EB? I got home around 3:40PM, played until 7ish, took a dinner break for about 15 minutes and then continued to play, finishing around 9:10PM. I then played multiplayer for about half an hour.

Oh, and SP, I can have him as a guest, but I was really looking forward to ranking up on Combat Training together. It's ridiculous that we can't, and I really hope there's a patch coming.

[Charizard Champion#06]

Yeah, it's THE Floating Apple. The most OP thing in an FPS since all time exists ever! (so powerful it breaks my grammar)

[Slick]

It doesn't even adhere to the laws of gravity.

Also, EB, do you mean the MP5K is unbalanced?
It has a fair bit of recoil, meaning it's kinda bad for long range. I enjoy using it as I'm a rusher though. I plan on using it a fair bit, but I'll probably switch weapons around on my first level up. I know I'm going to try out the AK74u once I reach it (Lv. 19 IIRC), and if I like it (which I think I will) I'll main it on my next level up.

Yeah, and we have a Voice Message thing too.

*Watches video*

Hmm, okay, I wonder what this could be...

*Notices surroundings, then notices objects on table*

Wait, no, it couldn't be.

*Floating Apple*

Oh yes! It is!

I loled when I saw that.

No, no, no, it IS balanced. Reflex Sight and a silencer and I'm a happy man.

how can you be so sure?
most of the little exploits have been fixed over time but the current main nuisances which are the prestigehackers and killboosters couldn't be fixed.

if either dice or infinityward wanted to stop prestige hackers they have to lock a few features down like making profiles for multiple users which affects a big load of people who use it the normal way.
and if you want to stop boosters from ruining matches you simply have to lock away the tactical insertion which entirely solves the problem but that also has a big effect on gameplay with many dissatisfied players as a result.

either options would have cost alot of money and time and they carry the risk of causing other problems in the gameplay aswell. in theory it doesn't matter who's in charge of fixing it.

Yeah, and we have a Voice Message thing too.

is there also a way to block any that **** on the 360?


i'm having something strange by the way, in the mission where you have to escape with dr. clarke i'm stuck after sliding off the roof where you can kill 4 enemies in slow mode.
dr clarke isn't with me and i cannot find any exit or anything so i'm stuck on that part since loading a previous checkpoint sends me right back to the part where i'm sliding off the roof. is he supposed to open a door or fence so i can move on?

[natie]

I don't like it. Then again I've never really liked CoD. It's too realistic (and unrealistic at the same time, paradox much?).

D:

[pikasaur]

MW2 > BO

if i wanted to get spawn killed i would stayed in MW2 (nuketown gets it the worst)

i also cant camp as well as i did in MW2 which is why i go 12-22 or 22-23 all the time.

Shoulda kept the money and bought kirbys epic yarn and saved the other 10$ for the FO: NV DLC that i heard thier already planning

I know what you mean. I only play it because a lot of my friends play it so it's fun to put a knife in their head.

you mean you don't like intense violence and the one man army thing behind it? is that right?

I know what you mean. I only play it because a lot of my friends play it so it's fun to put a knife in their head.

so you murder your own friends while they are distracted? you sick twisted demon dutch black guy.

[natie]

Other games are much more intense when it comes to fights, but CoD requires you to shoot near-real people. I don't know why, but it just doesn't appeal to me in the least.

[aggronFTW]

I dont have black ops yet, not getting it until christmas, but what are your guys' early impressions? I hope it doesn't get ruined like MW2 did by lack of balance and that but I see theres no nukes, commando, OMA, stopping power, UMP45 (although something will replace it sure enough), and shotgun/ MP secondaries. It seems like the campaign is pretty kickass too. I guess if it doesnt appeal to me I can go back to Halo Reach (<3), but I have pretty high hopes for this game and hope it wont disappoint.

[pikasaur]

im still getting used to no commando (died quite a few times because i thought i had it), but that aint a big deal.

overall, im still not sold on Black ops and keep wanting to head back over to MW2.

also there is still tons of spawn kills and corner campers, if that matters in your decision.

MP5k is pretty much the UMP45, as in everybody uses it, but not as in overpowered piece of gay crap.

If by distracted you mean shooting bullets at me and missing because I'm awesome, then yes.

i consider it a good thing. many people play those games for the violence, that's not the point behind cod.

Ahh that sucks, MP5K was my gun of choice in mw2 but I always like to use the less popular guns, guess I'll use something else instead, is the scorpion in this game?

@pikasaur
Yeah those corner campers are annoying, but the RCXD seems to be a great way to counter that by blowing up the enemy with relative ease. Spawn kills were in MW2 too, but these ones hopefully will be at least a little improved. I did like MW2 a lot, but it was just so frustrating....

I've noticed people saying there isn't as much camping in blops, but I'm sure there will be soon enough, I think it's just that people are running around now getting a feel for the maps and finding possible camping spots, remember the plane in terminal? or the house in estate? Or maybe the rock glitch in fuel? Those were the worst and I'm sure we'll have campers on our hand soon enough.

[KrayzieBuddha]

I did found a little bug on the game, but I can't point out what it is. Also when I get an trophy/achievement, the game freezes sometimes x.x

[Empoleon Bonaparte]

On the rage department; Treyarch did horrible, horrible things to the FAMAS and Jungle sucks. Good day.

I Hope we get campers in the game soon....it'll give me an idea of where to camp

i did find one good spot in jungle though, its on a high cliff and the only way up is a latter. you can just set one claymore and be good to go.
