People get so mad when I kill them with my Kirby Emblem Gun.

Haha you can't beat the Triforce I made my emblem the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

So, I know it's probably been touched on already.. but is Nuketown like the map that comes up 90% of the time in TDM?

I literally played 4 straight matches of Nuketown, and I loved it too. The MP5 with Extended Mags is my weapon of choice on that map, with Lightweight, Sleight of Hand, and Marathon.

It comes up a lot, not 90% but more often then others because people keep voting for it. Once you play one game in Nuketown you will see a lot of people vote for it again and again.

Dear Activision/Treyarch,

**** you and your good for nothing servers. It should not take me 5 GOT DAMN TIMES to try to upload a video and still fail!!! The best part is I was currently playing a game when all of a sudden I get kicked out of a game and I'm not able get back online. Seriously they better fix this crap ASAP.

I feel you man, it takes me a good 4-5 minutes sometimes sitting on the screen as it tries to log me on to the servers. When I get invites, everyone else on the other end wonder what the hell am I doing. LOL!

On the single player ending note:

Spoiler

The ending just sucks and left me so ultra disappointed after beating the game yesterday. It was over before I knew it and left me sitting there like WTF is this? After the credits roll, you play zombie mode with JFK which is cool...........but that was one weak *** ending. Not even MW1 or 2 were this weak and unsatisfying. The gameplay itself was really well done and I enjoyed this more than MW2, but what was Treyarch thinking?

Impressive. Much better commitment than IW have ever shown.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I played Free For All hardcore last night right before bed......IT WAS TOTALLY BORING : (

People care way too much about their K/D ration this year. Spent 4 minutes walking around before I finally came across somebody. Way too much camping going on in Free For All, makes that mode totally broken.

I mean they need make the minium amount of people in that game to be 16 and the max should be 32. That would cut down on the camping.

Over all I would like them to eliminate K/D ratio completely because it makes people play defensively in all the game modes this year because people don't want to die and lower their precious K/D ratio.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I think CTF might be my favorite game mode, replacing S&D.

K/D is the worst thing added to these type of games. Main reason I hate Hardcore mode to much camping plus bad spawing is a deal breaker for me. I played Hardcore mode last night with my clan for 3 hours and the only game that reach the score limit was when we played nuketown.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I wonder if they'll ever add Move support to this game...

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I'm very new to this game...never gave COD much time except offline. Can someone help me with how the map works? Does the red enemy indicator fade out when the enemy dies? It seems to me like it fades in and out but the enemy could still be there.

Also, when I see a skull and crossbones, does that mean my teammate died.

lol..it doesn't get any more Noob than that but I just don't know.

The red dots show up when someone fires a shot or when someone has a spy plane in the air. Eventually they do fade away. Be careful though, because there's a decoy grenade that fires off fake shots which show up on the map.

Skulls are for dead teammates, so chances are there's an enemy nearby that spot.

Red dots are the enemies everytime they shoot there gun it pops up on your map. The only time you or the enemies don't pop up on the map is when you have a supressor as a attachment on your gun

The skull and crossbone comes up when your teammate has just died


Word of advice before you hop online and starting playing people that have had the game for a week now play combat training it a simulation of playing online but u are playing against the computer good way to turn learn stuff

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

The funny thing about k/d is nobody cares except the person looking at their own numbers. It takes 3 steps just to see what yours is and more to see someone else's. It's basically a nerd stat that discourages teamwork. I have never once seen someone dominate online and quickly gone through 3 screens so I can see their K/D ration. Of course, I also have a life and females will undress in front of me, so that could have something to do with it too...lol.

QFT. I've noticed many times that people like to swoop in and take my kills. It's like come on I've got this kill and if I don't you're there to back me up.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

All I'm doing today is hanging out in the back of levels trying to shoot down air support and I'm getting more kills doing this than when I actually look for people.
