Call of Duty: Black Ops

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

This was a good weekend for me because I managed to unlock Ghost Pro, Sleight of Hand Pro, and Ninja Pro.

Ninja is the worst for me because it forces you to play Demolition which is nothing but a bunch of high level scrubs camping spawn points and spamming targets with explosives.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Lately I've only been playing 3 games and then put in NCAA 11 or do something else. I use to go hours of playing this game straight now I'm lucky to play a half hour. Not sure what it is. I still think this is a really good game but it's just not holding my interest as of the last 3 weeks.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I finally switched to the commando with suppressor and reflex. If i had done this since the beginning, i think id have sexier stats, but oh well. Probably finished around 1.90 for the day after 3 hours of play.

For certain boards I still roll ak74u silenced with rapid fire. Never really needed the grip on it like some.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I'm getting worse at this game every day. Not sure what is going on. My k/d ratio is down to 1.51.

I was having similar issues until recently......

I noticed that I seem to play this game alot better after a couple of shots of Crown Royal??? LOL
Not trying to promote drinking while playing but it works for me but only with this game (I guess some things in life you will just never understand). Not sure how but my aim and trigger reaction becomes so much better.

You stop thinking and just relax and let muscle memory take over.

I thought that only worked on the golf course...

Yeah, you guys are in a different league - I have absolutely no idea whatsoever how one goes 35-0 in a game, or even get 35 kills. I've been K/D >1 maybe 3-4 times total in my week or so of playing. Honestly, I hate to say it, but the only way I can get kills without dying 80 times is by camping out in a sucker-punch spot and popping guys as they run by, until someone inevitably figures it out and smokes me through a wall or something. I try not to do that, but whenever I run around and try to be legit, if I ever get into a face-to-face shootout, I will lose that 95% of the time. Half the time it doesn't even seem like I register a hit even though my sites are right on them...and they also seem to kill me with like 1 shot, whereas I often unload a clip on people and don't even hurt them. Frustrating.

Quick question; what's the difference between a red-dot site and a reflex site? They kinda look the same to me...

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Just started to get back into this game & trying out new weapons. Fast running plus Shotgun equals FUN!

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I don't know why people are so mad about the AK74u Grip+Rapid Fire combo...it's nice but I definitely prefer the AK74u with just rapid fire and sleight of hand...that extra half second and the fast reload helps so much more. And I also just got Commando again and man I am in love with it. After just destroying people(like 20-1) they started camping though but I still went 35-8ish

People are mad because you do that to any other SMG and it has nowhere near the same power and damage as the AK74u does.

Exactly. I find the most success with this layout.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Patch goes live today (already has for PS3)

• New contracts added to the rotation.
• Added optional pre-match timer for LAN / System-Link games.

Issues Addressed:
• Fixed freeze associated with larger games.
• Improved reliability of players connections to one another.
• Improved ability to bring parties to the game lobby. Late party joiners would try to connect to previous lobby host and be denied if new joiners trigger a lobby host migration.
• Addressed an issue where the Host encounters and infinite spinning loading circle after a Host migration.
• Fixed a timing specific, long/infinite loading screen when joining games (sometimes giving you “Error - Read error (0x80010713) on file <map name>").
• Fixed a timing-specific freeze when host powered down during host migration.
• Cleaned up the map search filter in the Community section (deleted unused entries).
• Fixed Combat Training’s "USE FRIENDS" option for bots names.
• Fixed issue with split-screen guest profile names being blank, resulting in matches never launching.
• Instead of showing the generic “Player” for offline profiles in LAN, we now display the PS3 profile name.
• Fixed Friends list appearing after viewing a Friends Playercard from the Leaderboards.
• Fixed filter so players can now view Friends on Zombies leadboards.
• Fix timing specific issue where the game can be put into slow motion.
• Addressed "disconnected path" error when using the doors in Radiation after a host migration.
• Fixed stability issues navigating lobbies after client on Split Screen Zombies quits out of a game.
• Addressed issue/exploit when removing Counter Spy Plane effects with the Jammer.
• Fixed a freeze when quickly loading maps one after another in private match.
• Fixed issue where players get primary weapons in Second Chance.
• Fixed “NEW” stamp not disappearing for Custom Slot 9 when highlighting the slot.
• Removed water vision effect when respawning after dying in the acid pool in Radiation.
• Several contract fixes.

Gameplay Tuning:
• Second Chance – players that put an enemy into Second Chance are now credited for a full kill once that enemy dies. If another player kills the enemy while the enemy is in Second Chance, they will get assist credit.
• Adjustments to the PSG1 with attachments.
• AK74U adjustments.
• RCXD adjustments.
• Silenced sniper rifle adjustments.
• Removed hit markers when shooting friendly equipment.

Red Dot and Reflex are essentially the same;magnification is equal.
Choose the one that you feel comfortable with,as far as how much the sight takes up your overall view.

When things get up close and personal in a firefight,who shoots first usually wins.Try to hipfire up close and rely less on ADS.When you do aim,it really helps to have the Pro version of Sleight of Hand,which speeds up your aim- in view.

Remember,Killcam is an approximation of events not an exact display.Lag and the built in compensation for it,can do strange things.If you have less than 3 bars for your connection at all times,you are at a huge disadvantage.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I beat it on Veteran as well, but for me it wasn't easy...very frustrating. But you are right, most of the frustration came from 2 particular parts for me, and I bet I can guess which parts you are referring to....

Spoiler

1) Executive Order...I seriously considered lowering the difficulty at that hallway portion where you have to get to the locker room before the checkpoint registers. And it didn't even register the first time I finally made it there...

2) Defend Khe Sahn - almost lost a TV and controller on that one. Just piss-poor level and mission design. Basically, it comes down to getting lucky - you hit "x" and hope that your character's "stab the barrel" animation happens quickly enough so that you can get turn around and get back to cover before the enemy 1-hit headshots you by blind-firing from around the corner of a building. Maddening.

My frustration mostly comes from glitches and horrible level design. I ran into a bug on the first level that keeps you from beating it. The khe sahn level just sucks all around.

Spoiler

If you're slow when going through the trenches, you can actually be cut off from your guys while the infinite spawning hoarde of enemies are running down. That's a problem since you have to destroy the tanks to progress, but it's nearly impossible to get to the weapon after a certain point.

I was stuck going down the hill for over an hour and never realized I had to even stab the barrels. I started the game on veteran, so I'm of course hiding behind cover trying to not get killed and never noticed the guy knifing the first barrel. Treyarch, in all their wisdom, put an objective dot at the bottom of the hill, which usually indicates that you need to get there. That's not the objective at all though, which is just awful.

my k/d is only 1.66 but i do hit the 30 + mark at least 3 or 4 times in a sitting. and imo sights are not needed after you get good..somtimes your connection might have something to do with the hit detection
