Do y'all have target assist on or off?

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I like the game but the two things that really starting to piss me off and might make MP a deal breaker is:


1.Trying to get a party of 6 or 5 people into a lobby. This pisses me of My clan has close to 20 people that's in it and we all have other people that just play with us. It's a damn headache waiting and trying over and over again to get into a lobby.

2.Re-spawning.......This has to be the second worst game I have played when it comes to respawning next to the rainbowsix games. How many times you have spawn and a enemy spawn behind you 2 seconds later and shoot you from behind. The spawn kills is pretty damn ridiculous in this. The most common thing would be if everyone on my team is on one side of the map when I die I want to respawn some where close to my team not on the other side the map then get shot from behind when I start.

I love everything else about the game but these two things they have to fix or might scale back a little bit on playing this

QFT. Although I am sure it'll be fixed. Respawning seems to only be bad on some maps though, although maybe not, I feel like it may be all of them, just a bit unnoticed for some because you aren't going to think it is that bad, but you'll get pissed when you run into 2 or 3, or even 4 guys all running together, which probably means they spawned 10-20 seconds ago.

The party thing is annoying, but when you do the Candyman trick I get in with a 5 or 6 man party after.

I think respawning or the hit registration are my biggest gripes, which I am sure will be fixed. I feel like this game is almost on par with my favorite CoD in the series, which would make it in the top 10 of my favorite games, I just feel like without stopping power(or what would be better if they added the damage multiplier to all guns) and the annoying killstreaks(RC-XD, dogs(Maybe?) and care package) this game would be even better, probably better than CoD 4 in my mind. Although these early problems would need to be fixed.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Couple of impressions and tactics i like to do:

I am enjoying the game so far. I like what they did with no scoping and I like how the kill streaks dont count toward additional kill streaks. Most of the guns so far just feel "right" for what they are. Assault rifles have good punch, sniper rifles work well in right situations, shotguns will blast up close and SMG's are great at RNG. So far my favorite gun is the FAMAS. Accurate at range and I get numbers with it so far. I do agree that some of the respawns are horrible but i am sure that will get fixed in the future so i am OK with that for now. I usually don't feel cheated when i die unlike MW2 when i would get no scoped by a dang sniper at 2 feet and i have a shotgun.
As far as graphics it looks less polished then MW2. Basically has a slight muddy look and almost looks the same as WOW. But it doesn't bother me. Flames look pretty good (I just got underslung flame thrower for my Galil....Nasty ). I love the map where the missle takes off that really adds to the immersion. Heck even your screen shakes and controller does as well! Sounds are FANTASTIC. Finally they got most the gun sounds down and they sound meaty and deadly. The M60 fits its nickname as the "pig" it has that nice grunting sound. Chatter between factions is pretty cool u can hear the enemy if they are close by talking. I wish they fixed the footsteps they are too quiet esp with all the ambient noise going on in the levels. I heard they were going to patch this via twitter though so its all good.
I have been using the decoys to great effect lately lol. I use it to lure unsuspecting people into ambushes and multiple fields of fire. I also use it to lure people into explosives for an easy kill. What I do is plant a claymore at a door, I face the other door to give cover, and i throw the decoy in the room. People see the red dot on the map and they come running lol. I also use gas to trap people and flush them out they usually come running when they get gassed (who the heck wouldn't lol). I use camera spike when I am camping an area. I will face it in the opposite direction and turn it on so i can see if someone is coming from behind. One thing i am wondering is if my team can also view my camera feed bc that would be cool and helpful on different game types. I like using the AA turret so far as a kill streak I am sure it frustrates the heck out of people that work to get air kill streaks only to see them shot down right away lol. I usually set it up in a quiet area of the map then camp it for easy points.
I have only played team deathmatch so far so I am not familiar with the other game types yet. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this game with all the match types and customization. Between this, fallout, and Halo I have enough replay to last me a LONG time this year! I love how everything is bought with points and you get to pick the path you want generally. I DO enjoy the contracts it is cool to work towards those goals in the set time allotment. Overall very impressed with the direction Treyarch has taken the franchise.


Oh and any OS'ers want to play with a veteran team player on 360 hit me up! RASPUTIN6948

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Gun tips so far from me ..I am at 35 level..so not super deep into MP.

Famas with silencer and a reflex scope (use warlord) is very nice

Same with ak74u

The galil with the extended clip and reflex scope is fantastic.

All of those combos have a ratio over 1 for me.

Are some of you folks still loving the aug? I really love the galil right now and am wondering if I should buy the aug next time i play the game.

I forgot all about hit detections thats another thing i could about 3 bullets in a guy in hardcore mode and he figure out where im at shoot once with a non head shot and kill me. It's very fustrating but the respawning thing is a killer. I die at least 4 or 5 times cuz someone spawn behind me or I spawn right in front of a enemy.


The candyman trick???????????? i missed that post can some explain to me the trick to get a full party in a lobby

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Has anyone tried the variable zoom sniper scope yet? Wondering how it was.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I officially hate Grid, I'm no good at that map at all. I've been owning people on Radiation though. So many good places to duck and hide for a minute to get a kill or two set up.

I enjoy it when I get teamed up with players who protect you and don't just look out for themselves. It's nice to know that you can look ahead and when you check your mini-map you have someone protecting you on the sides and from behind. The one game on Radiation, my team won like 7500-2500, I'd play with those guys on my team all day. I got a 5 killstreak care package, died and then they spawned me right on top of someone from the other team. I had already thrown my smoke signal, but luckily two more guys spawned right there and stood guard over my care package until I came to pick it up.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I'm still at Level 9. I could purchase the Enfield & the M14, but I'm trying to save my COD money to buy the FAMAS (and bling it out) when I unlock it. So right now, I'm mainly using the MP5K. I like it ok, but it really sucks using it for mid and long range shots. I hate seeing multiple hit markers and then watching the guy I've shot just turn and obliterate me.
