Call of Duty Black Ops

[Berzerk]

could safely say that my last 5 or so games were completely hitch free. no lag no stuttering.

I guess gameservers fixed something on their end.

What I like about Call of Duty: Black Ops - Very few grenade launchers noobs, no stupid quick scopers, no stopping power, no painkiller, no martyrdom, no one man army. A Call of Duty game that takes...skill? Black Ops ftw. Long live Treyarch!
The most unbalanced thing in the game so far is "Ninja". Almost everyone is using it, and it sucks not hearing people running after you or moving nearby. I can't complain though because I use Ninja also. You simply cannot not use Ninja because you're automatically at a disadvantage, unless yuh playing noobz

Yea me and Redfish run some game last night. Stuttering vastly improved. Also got through on the Barbados server through Xabuza. pretty decent pings etc.

Also played zombies, didn't know it could get so scary later on oui. got to play as nixon though....

This game have the coolest assortment of guns and perks of all the previous Call of Duties. Oui sah.... that crossbow it badddd.
 Also contracts is a pretty cool feature. Some are easy and others are impossible.

One gripe is I haven't been able to try a wager match yet. They always full.

I initially thought the dive mechanice was gimmicky. Not anymore nah. when man throwing nades, you dive outta the way, spin round and hit him a crossbow, well thats good times right dey.

I could see the theater mode being put to great use.

 I've only played like 20 minutes of the single player. (Decent so far)

Once the stuttering completely fixed and that friends list works how it should, this could be a golden title imo.

Talking about diving, boy did I have alot of  fun using that shotgun coupled with timed dives.

Found it to be quite effective diving through windows of buildings and of course over short walls, great way to keep your ass from getting iced when you manage to survive a shot in the back.....think you can dive backwards too (someone please confirm)

My lethal weapon of choice? The Tomahawk, man when you bounce up on two,three players and have to reload to kill the second/third man you're sure to die.

Pelting a man with your trusty tomahawk followed by a dive to hopefully dodge the hail of bullets coming at you should do the trick.

Oh and I managed to steal someone's crossbow and my oh my do I want one lol

Yep using ninja is key as I kept getting knifed from camping sneaky bastards, the amount of cuss I wanted to cuss until I paid for it and put it on all my classes....heheh

I encountered a hacker in a server though, was like level 20 in prestige......but that didn't spoil my fun, will be at it again tonight. Hope other people get it to join in the fun.

Boy I fall asleep trying to fix tha damn server last night. Gameservers/Treyarch need a kick each.

But yea I wake up like 2 this morning almost reach lvl30 too. The real flick is a domination hardcore, reallllll sweaty business, my fav game mode right there.

[Redfish]

Hopefully the server issue go be sorted out by the end of this week yes, they seem to be hard at work so just to wait a lil and see...

Black Ops is now the fastest selling game of all time???

http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/82685/call-of-duty-black-ops-sells-7-million-copies-on-day-one/

According to early VGChartz estimates, Call of Duty: Black Ops has become the fastest-selling game of all time with over 7 million units sold on day one following over 4.5 million preorders as reported earlier in the week. If the 7 million for Black Ops holds true, it would make the launch around 10% larger than Modern Warfare 2 and the biggest of all time.

[Redlum08]

Yup, on Xbox Live last night, it was showing 3.5 Million people online!! 3.5!!! I like how they copied Bungie finally to show a global map with all the places lit up that running the game...SWEATY!!!!

yea don't worry once we fix up, our sweat would be the bestest one. 

[Doomtack]

I still can't enjoy this game on ah Xbox controller in truth, i could only enjoy this on ah PC.
And damn this game jus suckin up all my free time.... i need to do some work when i get home, but i can't do it with black ops distractin meh

[W1nTry]

yea don't worry once we fix up, our sweat would be the bestest one. 

I think you need to come sweat with us, last night there were 16 of 29 ppl on our gamerlist that were sweating and soon that will increase dramatically. How many fellow Trinis sweating yet? hmmm?

I still can't enjoy this game on ah Xbox controller in truth, i could only enjoy this on ah PC.

I used to be a nah saying once, swore by the fps on the PC, but lemme ask you, how much did it cost you to get a rig that could run this game in all its graphical glory? how often has a PSU or HD or GPU crashed? How much POWER does your rig take to run this game? How fast can you boot up and sweat? I bet you not as fast as we can XD
Try it, yuh go like it

[Doomtack]

umm, i have both a PS3 and 360. And i know of the dis advantages and advantages of each platform.. And as comfortable as I am with the console controllers (Yes, i can actually woop some butt with the console controllers), i just prefer mouse and Keyboard for the full magnitude of enjoyment on this title.

In all honesty, i would love to get it on 360 jus to sweat wit alyuh, but i aint have da kinda $ to buy it on 2 systems

And btw, my PC starts up just as fast as a console, so doh get tie up
And as for the other PC related issues... well I do more than just game on my PC, so those other issues are all part of the process.

[phoenix31tt]

sigh @ wintry come back with the same old argument...

man... running the game "in all its glory" on pc will far outshine it on ps3...

i know men that have 3 years and older pc's that running the game just fine... jus lower graphics (looks like ps3 graphics )... so dont come with that nancy story... and honesly my HD or GPU never crash since like... i cant rem lol... but oh the horror stories of YLOD and RROD...

note i own a ps3 eh.. and yes i've been playin mw2 mult on the ps3 cuz i got it in a deal... and while it's fun i would still not buy blkops for ps3... simply because i know what i'm missing with having my mouse... i see moves in my head that my controller cant do so its frustrating @ times...

and lmao @ boot up time... who does shut down they pc? lol u think loadin of a bray faster then clicking a desktop icon and runnin the game of a hdd? :p
