Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Hey guys, I've been reading your posts about the game. It seems like you're having lots of fun. But would you guys recommend this game to someone that hadn't really played the CoD series?

Definitely. I was strictly a Metal Gear Solid guy so this series is a stark contrast but I love it now.

The Galil is incredible in this game. Especially in hardcore.

Yea, I mostly play hardcore and I am loving the Galil.

I will say that Sniper Rifles are extremely weak, it should not take 3 shots to kill someone with a sniper.

Its not only that, but i think hit detection is off. I've had people dead to rights with the PSG1 variable scoped so they're nice and big on my screen. and three shots and nothing. not hit detection. Nothing. I hate it and i hate that sniping is useless pretty much outside of 2 maps.

You bring up a good point about sniping I think. There really aren't any maps that cater to sniping. They are all designed for a lot of mid-range firefights with SMG's and AR's.

Yeah the maps all feel like the same size with the exception of nuketown. I would love to see some bigger, more wide open maps. And woods too.

Agreed, hopefully we'll see more open, long-range type maps in the DLC.

1. I hate playing this game on the weekends, too many kids be online, my mute button was working overtime this weekend.

2. hit detection is severely off at times. I too had used the pg91 sniper rifle, had the guy center mass, shot directly in his chest 4 times and he didn't even get hit, it was like the bullets just went straight through his chest. But yet he killed me from over 50 feet away with an UZI on launch.

3. Been getting noob tubed quite often lately this weekend. Watching the kill cams and these people not even aiming, they shooting it at the ground 4 feet in front or behind me but yet the blast radius is so damn big I still get killed.

4. Respawn was insane tonight. On Nuketown, 8 times I respawned in the enemy backyard right in between 3 guys, which led to me being mowed down 3 seconds after coming back to life. I was like WTF ! Even more crazy that happened 4 times in a row, twice.

Yeah this game needs some Bad Company 2 size maps.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Agreed on the noob tubers starting to appear - saw a lot of that last night. Time to break out that Flak Jacket for real now!

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

SMH Got Damn noob tubers man. They were out in full force tonight and I damn near had to turn my game off because that mess was driving me crazy.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Wow. The campaign in this game is good. I was actually glued to my seat for the first few hours I played of it.

Usually I'm not into COD campaigns, but something about this one has me interested and makes me keep playing.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Also one thing about snipers, from messing around in a splitscreen mode a while ago:

If you're looking for one shot sniper kills, use the 4th one, the L96A1. It has almost a full damage bar, and it does carry over into the game - anything in the chest from that gun seems to be a one-shot kill. Tried it on the large snow map (I think it's Array) and was able to one-shot from the mountain path between B2 and B3 all the way across the map to D2.

It's also the only Bolt-Action rifle of the five, while the rest are semi auto.

Of course that's not taking the internet lag into account, so it may be easier to get a kill when you have multiple shots to use. I don't play a lot of sniper so I don't really know if that's the case.

[Gotmadskillzson]

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

The bolt action one is the only one that works right far as kills. All the other ones suck arse. With the rest of them you got to shot them 6 or more times before they are dead, it is like WTF.

And OMG the jumping around trying to avoid being shot needs to get nerfed. I swear I will shoot people tonight, they get hit twice, then jump 6 feet in the air and kill me in the air on the way down. It is like WTF.

That is all I seen tonight was people jumping every where. Vertical jumps are way too high in this game. And when they have lightweight and marathon equip omg it is unreal how high and far they float across the map.

Anybody else notice you can throw a frag for miles in this game but can't throw a flashbang or concussion as nearly as far ??? I mean on Nuketown people throwing grenades from one back yard over both houses to the other backyard all game long.

I swear that is what this other team did the entire game, lob grenades. I was like wow.

Man, you guys would smoke me so bad if we played. Level 17, with like a .81 K/D ratio. I never have games like 25/7. At best, it's usually like 15/12 or somewhere around a 1:1 ratio. I also have a ton of games around 7/15. I'll admit, I am horrid at shooters, and am always way too tense playing. Whenever I go like a minute or more without seeing anyone, I get nervous that someones behind me, so I fire at anything that moves and give myself away.

Doesn't help that most games I get in are usually full of people around level 50 or 40. This is the most i've played any console shooter, which isn't saying much, as it's only been for a few hours total. Hopefully i'll get better, but either way, i'm having a blast, and could really care less what my K/D ratio is.

Gamertag Kearnzo511 if you guys wanna add me.

Has anyone tried using the FAL? I had to just because it was so beastly in Uncharted 2, lol. But I didn't have any success with it last night.

It's a single shot weapon so you really need to be accurate and line up your shots. I was using it with some success, but you really need to keep your encounters long - to mid range... because the FAL is lacking in close quarters situations. Also I would probably put a Red Dot on it.. as I don't like the Iron Sights.

just tried this gun and i did pretty well with it in my one game. ill try it some more but i usually hate single shot guns.



the spawning is irratating the hell outta me in this game. there is ALWAYS somebody behind you. kill 2 people, its guaranteed one of them will spawn behind you and kill you.

plus with so many ways into each building i wonder how the hell people can consistently go 25-6.

still having lots of fun though.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

It took me two hours to figure out the "battle in the trenches" thing and how to complete that objective.

Spoiler

If I should kick the barrels, why don't they have my "follower" tell me to go to the barrels?

Glad I wasn't the only one who spent way too much time on that mission. No indicators tell you to do that or anything. I just happened to see Woods do it and finally decided to give it a try myself.
