official Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Zeck]

I usually use the attack helicopter to scare people inside a building and then i clear that building. It's more of a tactical tool than a weapon.

edit: (i play hardcore)

[The Laughing Man]

Finally a 10MB update hit today, changes in reduction to the knife lunge ! bout time. I hate when im shooting someone point blank yet the knife lunges forward after a headshot and kills me and not them.

[w33zy]

****ty update, cant connect game or play with any parties on ps3.

[Livin in a box]

There's a bug on 360 that means you can't mute someone. If you press Y and press B whilst the tab that displays your friends list, then you can't mute. If you go onto another persons card, it doesn't show up and when you press B on that the friends list comes up again. So you have to go to one of the other 2 tabs, press B and then the mute thing will show.

I don't know what happened but I can't do well in this game anymore. It doesn't matter if I camp or run around, the end result is always the same. I get killed by someone in a random manner. I have Ghost Pro and Ninja Pro with a silenced weapon so the only way I should show up on the radar is if the enemy has an SR-71 Blackbird. It's so annoying to get killed by someone who randomly decides to look at a spot while aiming down their sights. The funny thing is, it's usually people with poor K/D ratios (ranging from 0.80 to 1.20). I might just go back to Modern Warfare 2 for a little bit. :/

That happens to me a lot Anaron, you're definitely not alone. I just don't understand sometimes how people know I'm there...especially when I have Sleight of Hand Pro so I'm a fast aimer.

What really Hacker Pro do?

What really Hacker Pro do?

Pro: + Booby trap enemy Care Packages and turn enemy killstreaks and equipment friendly

It's very frustrating. :|

What really Hacker Pro do?

It allows you to booby trap enemy care packages as well as steal enemy killstreak rewards and equipment (e.g. sentry gun, SAM turret, claymore, etc). It also prevents you from being detected by enemy motion sensors.

That's porbably lag or some such; getting killed when out of the line of fire or bullets disappearing seem to be a huge issues in Black Ops.

[sezgintezel]

buggy game... just throw it out...

[Matrix XII]

Played around 100hrs now on Black Ops.

The game is buggy, I hope they fix the knifing issues.

The way you join matches is ridiculous, you can't join rooms that have a set map or people that are in control. Maybe that way is old school now but I miss it.

Some of the random ways to die are quite annoying, but other than that I can't stop playing the game. Getting closer to Prestige lvl. 3 now :)

My 2 cents on weapon packages.

#1

AK-47 - Reflex Sight w/ Burst reticule (red)

CZ75 - Extended Mag

Nevada Camo

Semtex Grenade

Flashbang

Claymore

Hardline Pro

Sleight of Hand Pro

Ninja Pro

Spy Plane

Attack Helicopter

Chopper Gunner

imo in terms of getting high kill streaks this is the best kit you can have.

I'd like to see other ppl's fav kits, and comment on mine :)

[Kriz]

^^ pretty much same as mine, as for killstreaks surely that depends more on how good you/the other players online are..

[Hedon]

did anyone install the new patch (1.04) for the ps3 yet?

did it fix most of the problems the game had or did it get worst?

Got worse:

PS3 Gamers Outraged at Black Ops

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-12-15-ps3-gamers-outraged-at-black-ops

Oops - that still-warm Call of Duty: Black Ops patch seems to have amplified problems with PS3 online multiplayer.

"The retard patch 1.04" thread on the official Black Ops website has pages of dissenters sharing their frustration.

"GG [good game] to them making it a P2P game where the host gets hard freezes," posted an ironic I WTFMyself. "Such failures."

Suzuki1776 replied: "The game seems to be getting worse with each patch as far as connection issues. If you are going to be playing Black Ops a lot then get a 360. They seem to have a lot less issues than us PS3 players."

"I cant even begin to express words to describe how ****ed of I am at the hash of this game on the PS3," added an angry Saunter.

"... I am sick to the back teeth of them going on about how there going to patch the knife lunge and stupid little things like that when they wont even acknowledge the huge f*** up they've made on PS and still raked in mountains of money."

"Treyark [sic] have made a complete **** up on this one and they have ruined one of the biggest games of all time," he vented, with the caveat, "And seriously I do really like the game when I could play it."

Patch 1.04, now live, claims to "improve" matchmaking conditions for people with strict or moderate NAT types - precisely the problem many gamers now complain of.

Another of the tweaks was a "negative influencer" for spawn points, which should decrease the chance of returning to life in front of an enemy with a gun.

(All of the patch 1.04 fixes are documented over on the Call of Duty forum.)

"They killed the PS3 version," declared Eurogamer reader Astro-Creature.

"So no chance of them fixing that PS3 Alpha s*** they tried to pass off as retail then?" fumed fellow EG reader Acrid

Treyarch community manager Josh Olin has been accosted on Twitter about the problems. He, however, insists NAT problems are the responsibility of you and your router, not he and his developer.

"That means your Router has a strict NAT, causing your lag," Olin responded to an angry Triadgaming tweet.

"It's not the game," he insisted.

Love all the swearing, angry gamers at their best :rofl: Death threats next!

[SaltLife]

So its my router huh... that's interesting. Hope that helps you sleep at night.

It's just a coincidence that everyone had a router that tanked after the patch, didn't you know?

[Kriz]

I just installed the update on the PS3, ive had 1 game in an hour, all the rest failed, host migration, transmission error, and when i do actually get into a game theres a connection error.. Getting ****ed off big time!

A bit campy but that's what you gotta do with this gun :whistle:

[WastedJoker]

PC patch is live...

[Chasethebase Veteran]

BBC Radio 1 are discussing the issues and have had loads of complaints. They have been speaking to Treyarch and as usual, they say 'they're working on it'

[Kriz]

They've been 'working on it' non stop, PS3 online might aswell not even be up, ****ing pathetic, making me not want to play it.
