And the MP5 in Call of Duty 4 was nothing but ass and recoil.

Compared to the other SMGs, it has low recoil. Compared to the MP5K in Modern Warfare 2, it has much less recoil.

Oh so that's why I see nobody using it, it's that good.

hey ps3 people (i have the game for ps3 too), if you do split screen online can both people log into their own accounts or does the second player have to be a guest?

I got the game yesterday and I played it in Multiplayer mode only, sp is going to wait :)

So my impressions so far as I never played Treyarch game before:

1. I played on the jungle map first and and I did not like the graphics at all. It seems that the graphics is good on some maps and suck at others, for example - Array and Nuketown are on par with MW2. Maybe its just the colors but I hate the design of player models.

2. LAG! Damn lag, I play on 360 and it changed the host 3 times during my first game, I was like Whaaaat!? Some matches were barely playable and I had to finish them just because I wanted to fulfill a contract. I do not know how the game picks the best host but clearly isn't working!

3. Is it me or we used to have ambient music/sounds in MW2 during the whole match? In BO we have some music in the beginning and some music probably at the end...not sure, but the Jungle map is too quite which drives me nuts lol

Anyways, I'm sure the game is going to grow on me, no doubt. I have no patience to play it tonight again.

Guest only.

Just to add, guest accounts can rank up, but as soon as they sign out the experience they earned is reset.

However, Xbox Live players can sign into 2 accounts & play the game with 1 copy on the same console & rank up, keeping their experience even after they quit (Y)

i'm about half way through the campaign and not really got any idea what's going on >.< In terms of how it handles... it doesn't feel like cod... MW1 and 2 felt the same in terms of play... Cod5 felt like both of them a little bit too however black ops feels a lot different. the only thing that reminds me that its cod is the constant fragging and overpowered by hordes of enemy.

the part where you are escaping the prision and you have to bring down the helicopter was just a death fest for me. also the mission when you have to take down the rocket, going into the building after you have done the covert stuff, as soon as buddy would open the door, shot killed :/, probably died at least 20 times there trying to get into that room

I'm kinda curious about the sales numbers, whether it outsold MW2 or not.

http://www.codblackopsblog.com/black-ops-sells-5-million-copies-in-24-hours/

Call of Duty: Black Ops has sold a humongous 5 million units during its first 24-hours on sale, beating lasts year?s Modern Warfare 2 record breaking day-one sales figure of 4.7m units in 24-hours. Infinity Ward?s title also went on to make publishers Activision over a Billion Dollars, breaking a number of industry sales records in the process, so chances are that Black Ops will go on to make another mountain of cash for Bobby Koticks firm.

Shares in Activision grew more than five per cent on Monday ahead of the release. Although analysts doubt Black Ops can top the overall performance of its predecessor, if day-one sales are anything to go by, it may well happen.

Despite the whole mix up with my Amazon order, which I still have to technically return to Best Buy, what is sweet is I was right, not only did I get the pre order laser Cell thing, which I really did not want, but I did also get the $20 promo credit that they were offering as well, so I just pre-ordered Gran Turismo 5 for $40. Which that also comes with a $10 credit, so hopefully I can just keep that rolling at Amazon and keep getting games with the pre-order bonus of credit! Makes the whole mishap with the shipping almost acceptable. Key word there is almost.

That's what I used to do with my preorders in the UK & our retailer GAME.

Every purchase rewards you with points which meant more money off the next game. Although eventually I found a game cheaper elsewhere so it broke the chain :p

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

      There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
