official Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

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.

I chose First Class, which specifically states that it will be delivered on 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.

LOL @ "banned" when it's more of the functionality disallowing quickscoping.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

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.

Honestly. The things they are fixing is wanting me to get it now, but there is always going to be the problem of camping.

Sam Worthington voices the lead for Black Ops?

No more quickscoping?

*jumps for joy*

[ViperAFK]

That looks incredibly boring for a gameplay mode. The graphics don't look bad, but it looks cartoonish. Other than that, though, the fundamental gameplay looks fine.

I've played gungame a few times in CS:S, its actually pretty fun.

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 :(

[Michael1406]

If I somehow miss out on the supermarket deals (UK), I don't know what I'll do. I'll get my money's worth regardless, but I am against the idea of paying extortionate prices (RRP) for games.

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

Doesn't generally look any better than MW2 to me. :s

Looks slightly better. But I need to play to judge.
