Gun Game was very popular in CS 1.6. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to that game mode in Black Ops. As for the other game modes, you can see videos of them on YouTube. I just searched "black ops sharpshooter" and "black ops sticks" and watched videos of the respective game modes. They're quite interesting.

Just preordered it from Amazon, first time I've preordered a game for a LONG TIME. Don't remember the last time I did that. Only reason is so I get it in time for i41.

If you hadn't guessed, I ordered it on PC.

Also, happy birthday Sethos! :fun:

Did you use Super saver delivery? as they don't usually deliver for release date.

Call Of Duty Black Ops: Quickscoping has been Banned

You may remember that a gameplay video leaked last week showing off some sniper action in Call of Duty Black Ops, and seemingly showed the player ?quickscoping?. However, Treyarch has now confirmed that players will not be able to quickscope in the final version of the game.

That footage was taken from the closed beta of the game, but during a Q&A session on Twitter, Treyarch?s community manger Josh Olin answered some direct questions about whether or not quickscoping will be included in the game.

When simply asked if quickscoping will be possible in Black Ops, Olin replied: ?No. Quickscoping is a cheap way to play. We?re specifically going to gimp Quickscoping, sorry. Play straight-up!?

:yes: Treyarch is cleaning up the mess that was made. I might reconsider never ever buying this game to possibly buying this game.

Haha, "banned". I'm glad they removed quick-scoping. It's really cheap in MW2. Thankfully, not many people have the necessary skill to do it.

it toke me some time but I got it going, i used to do it like crazy with a Scout in counter strike but I always hated sniping in CoD games and chose to always used the assault rifle.

and i agree, quick scoping is kinda cheap...

I am just now happy that there is split screen multi-player like in Halo! :D It's on my list to probably buy now.

Great feature if you're the people playing, sucks when you have 'those people' on the team because they suck ass - They are usually gimped visually and they end up sucking the bottom of the barrel and dragging the entire team down with 'em =/

Just pre-ordered the game...damn gun game being in this and making me want this game.

Is that the game where you only have 1 bullet on a pistol and have to kill someone to get an extra bullet? It is cool but I hope there won't be lots of campers :(

Nope, Gun Game is the gamemode where you start with a low level weapon, and with each kill you graduate to a different one.

Here's a video.

Indeed, although from my understanding, it's only going to be two-player split-screen online (whereas Halo 3 and Reach allow up to four players to go online with split-screen). That should mitigate the problem to a certain extent. At least we won't have one console taking up a significant chunk of space on a team.

And yay for the diminished power of quick-scoping. I hated it in Counter-Strike, and I'm glad that Treyarch hates it as well.

Hold on wait, Black Ops is gonna look that good on consoles? Looks like 10 x better than MW2! :s

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
