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?

Guest only.

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

God knows how many points i have on my game card >.< i should check. I bought 4 360's on it, a PS3, a wii, god knows how many games and so on. (Whenever i have been in game with my mates and they have bought something, consoles, games w.e i have thrown my card at them :p)

    • What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!
    • Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.3 is out.
    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
