Call of Duty: Black Ops

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

Getting really pissed with this game lately.

Last night, I had at least 5-6 instances where I shot someone, heard the "thump thump thump" of the bullets hitting him, only for him to turn around and shoot me dead. The killcam showed me not even hitting him once.

Incredibly frustrating.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

The games hit detection is abysmal plus nothing seems to match up as the game is always out of synch. I shoot a guy running down the hall only to die instantly but when I see the killcam it shows I didn't get a shot off. You either have an an advantage or you don't that's what determines who wins and loses.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

I just received an e-mail that I had won a token to download the First Strike Map Pack, the token was included. This was from a drawing that I had entered prior to the release of the game back in October. Of course I have already bought the map pack so the token is useless to me. Not sure why they would notify me now that I had won, but o' well.

If you want the map pack but can't afford it or you know someone that would like it please PM me and I will give it to you. First PM gets it. Thanks.

Oh, this is for the Xbox 360 (I think that matters).

Token has been claimed.............

Yes the hit detection is not quite right.

That's probably the most frustrating thing with this game, it feels like half the time you have no control at all over your success.

It's inconsistent. Some nights it works, some nights it is just off.

If you hit the Back button, before you search in a Playlist you can set your Matchmaking Search Preferences, there's an option for Local, and Local Only so you'll have a much better chance of getting a better host that's close to your area. So you won't be playing on a guy in New Zealand's connection, or on the other Coast. It does help find some smoother games.

I'll give that a shot, thanks for the tip.

How do we throw knives? I was told it was under "Lethal", but all I see there is the hatchet. Anyone?
Not the ballistic knife.

I think you mean the tomahawk.

Yeah I don't notice it that often maybe once a week in a few matches.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops

So over the past week I have started to see a trend with my TDM performance. If I do not start immediately sprinting to my first kill spot when the countdown hits zero, I will have a terrible match. If I run and do something for a minute between matches and come back 5 or 10 seconds into the match it is guaranteed I will start 3-10 k/d. I get the opposite result when I am ready to go right away. I almost always get 3-5 kills before my first death. Anybody else notice this?

I really dislike the exclusivity deal that Activision has with Microsoft. PS3 users don't get the map pack until a month later and it releases around the time MLB 11 comes out, no thanks.

I did not buy a mappack for the first time this year and it's awesome!
