Call of Duty: Black Ops

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Nothing in this game really aggravates me, except the ability to knife through bullets and the map Nuketown.

I try not to read much negative stuff about the game, I'm enjoying it.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I agree. I have Second Chance Pro and nobody will revive me...they all watch me die a slow death.

Spoiler

Speaking of second chance, the pistol is WAY powerful than on MW2 as it's a pretty legit probability to still l get a kill when you're down.

I always try to revive people. I've even died a few times trying to save my teammates.

I haven't used 2nd chance pro much because I'm working on Tactical Mask but when I do use it my teammates are always quick to revive me.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

After about 15 hours online, I think this is the least messed up of all COD's. I still would love the following changed:

1. Lag (which should be updated soon bc of no beta)
2. Respawns (unacceptable)
3. Nerf knifing...if you attempt the knife animation and your opponent gets a hit marker, your animation should stop

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I got so frustrated with this game just now.

The main thing is, and I don't know why, but I can't aim for **** the last 2 days. I guess it's the recoil, but when I watch other people's killcams it's like as soon as they see me they have me right in the middle of their sights instantly, whereas with me I have to take a second or 2 just to adjust my aim and even if I am aimed at them, then the recoil makes me miss a few shots and the other guy kills me.

If you're using the reticle sight I encountered the same problem. I took it off of the Famas (I have no sight attachments) and found I did MUCH better.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

For those having trouble with Aim, here's what helped me:

-Up close, shoot from the hip. If you have aim assist on (which I'm assuming everyone does, since it's on by default), you should be able to hit them. The steady aim perk will help even more...
-I tend to use the iron sights more than the reticles
-From mid-long distance fire each weapon like it's the M16. Meaning do not lay on the trigger. Otherwise you will look like this (start @1:00):

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Good tip iLL, I'm trying to learn that now! It's hard getting out of old habits. LoL It's just weird to me that some days my aim is dead on then there are days or even the next match where my aim is off and it seems like the gun recoil is more dramatic. Not sure?!

That could also be hidden lag.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I wish they'd make it so you could use any three sets of perks you wanted. Perhaps institute a gold, silver, bronze tier, where you unlock different special abilities at pro depending on which tier you have that specific perk at. I'd love to be Hardline, as well as Ghost. I'd also like to be Marathon, as well as Hacker.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

It is very important that if you are shooting from any sort of medium to long range distance to shoot in bursts rather than just laying down on the trigger. It's much more accurate and effective.

Respawns are such a joke. You should NEVER respawn right in front of or right behind someone. That is beyond ridiculous.

These maps are small enough where the system should just look at the positions of every enemy player on the map and respawn you in the spot that is the furthest from any of them. That would eliminate the cheap kills (and cheap deaths) from respawn point and the maps are still small enough where you wouldn't have to run around for 5 minutes just to see anyone again.

Knifing... the whole idea of knifing in this game is just silly to me. I know this is not supposed to be some perfect simulation of combat, but making some quick swiping motion with a knife in your hand kills an enemy soldier (who presumably is wearing a lot of armor/protective gear) INSTANTLY? Come on, man. Knifing people should trigger a kill animation that at least takes 2-3 seconds to play out (think of the stealth kill animations in Uncharted 2). That way people can't just run around knifing people as their primary attack. And for the love of Mary, if someone is coming at me trying to knife me from the front and I start shooting, there should be NO WAY they actually get to me and get the kill.

If you're using the reticle sight I encountered the same problem. I took it off of the Famas (I have no sight attachments) and found I did MUCH better.

Very interesting, I'll have to try the iron sights some tonight.

That could also be hidden lag.

Sometimes I feel this game is just a huge connection speed test. It seems like if I have a fast connection I'll have great games, and on nights where my connection isn't as good I'll struggle to have a positive K/D. Just frustrating sometimes.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

To add to that, always fire in short bursts, otherwise you waste ammo, and try not reload with 20 rounds (Means Bullets) left in your in clip. I have found firing in bursts you can kill someone in 4-6 shots (Mainly upper body). With some of the weapons you can get at least 4 kills with one clip, which is effective if you want a nice killstreak.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Shouldn't the auto aim option be turned off online? I have it disabled but everyone else has super accurate aim so I am assuming they are using this option.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

As much as I dislike Nuketown, I've had some of my best rounds on it.

Everyone seems to enjoy running to the opposing side's house, so I equip a radar jammer and stick it in the house after every respawn. Some people react poorly when they can't see their map.

Does this map ever come up in Domination? I've still never played Nuketown.

You assume correctly, 90% of people don't even mess with the options, they just pop the game in and go directly to online. And by default, it is on.
