A friend of mine made the mistake of getting me 1600 Xbox Live points from the US. :pinch: As you may already be aware, these points will only work with a US account (which isn't good for me since I have a Canadian account). If anyone wants to get these points off me for a fair price, shoot me a PM.

Anyway, so far I only like Berlin Wall and Stadium. The rest of the maps aren't as "fun" as the original maps. I found myself itching to play maps like Firing Range or WMD when Discovery or Kowloon is locked in. As for Ascension (the new zombie mode map), I'd say it's just as fun as Kino Der Toten.

The only multiplayer map I like is Berlin Wall. I hate all the rest -- they just aren't well designed at all. I do love Ascension, though -- it's now my favorite Zombies map, I just wish random players were good at it and understood how to play it. Overall, though, definitely not worth the $15, and far inferior to the launch maps.

Has anybody else ever activated an attack chopper and the attack chopper does not respond to your flying commands? On three separate occasions in two demolition and one domination match, I've activated an attack chopper but not been able to fly it where I want. It just flies around the map in random patterns but still lets me shoot which in the end does no good because it doesn't point at the ground.

the only problem is cupcakes, i like Black Ops. i think it's a good, solid shooter with very enjoyable MP. and from playing Berlin Wall on a co-worker's 360, the new maps are hilarious, i like them. sadly, i am being denied access to a product i want to purchase for a completely random reason. sure, a minor annoyance in the grander scheme of things, but hell hath no fury like a 30 year-plus veteran of gaming spurned. if you don't like that, if that makes you annoyed, well i do so sincerely apologize...

I agree. I don't like Stadium anymore but I like Ascension even more now. I still find myself eager to play the launch maps like Firing Range, WMD, and Grid.

By "attack chopper", do you mean the gunship (11-kill streak)? If so, I've never had any issues with controlling it. There were times where the controls were a bit glitchy because of latency issues but aside from that, it's been fine since launch.

I have to admit, Kowloon has grown on me a bit, but it's just somewhat bland, I think. I hope the next map pack(s) are better than this, because I seriously cringe whenever the new maps get voted in above maps like Havana.

As I said in the double XP topic, I keep getting stuck with horrible players for some reason. My game win/loss ratio went from 1.00 to .72! In almost all of the games, I've been the only one with a positive K/D ratio. It's becoming extremely frustrating.

Yes sorry I mean gunship. It happened again yesterday so in total, I have had three separate occasions where I call in a gunship and it flies around uncontrollably.

If you are looking to pick up some easy wins, hit me up on XBL. A couple of buddies and myself racked up a 23 game win streak over a couple play sessions in the last few days.

Looks like I'm going to have to stray from the trusty famas and give the galil a try as everyone is raving about it.

I think you will enjoy it. I know some people favor the Famas because of its fast firing ability, but for me you lose all your accuracy even if you burst fire. The Galil still stands as my favorite assault rifle for its hip fire ability, accuracy (even with a silencer), and damage.

Out of the new maps, I have only been able to play three so far. Because I favor small maps, Stadium is amazing. Kowloon is possibly one of the most difficult maps to play domination on that I have ever seen. The sheer amount of "levels" for your eyes to check for enemies is astonishing. Besides that, an enemy could be on the same level as you and hiding in a little nook and easily kill you. It will definitely take some time on that map before I am able to play it better. I am still quite split on Berlin Wall for the time being. Initially I wanted to use the Galil on it, but the map in reality turns out to be a CQ map so the AK74U (Rapid Fire) is more effective.

I thought it was just a glitch with Summit where it happened twice to me until the other day when it happened on Jungle.

Has anybody ever had a game not show up in their "Recent Games" list? I wanted to move a game into my fileshare because of some insane grenade throws I had, but the match never showed up. My friend also verified (he was in the game) that the match wasn't in his list either, even a few games after it happened.

Kowloon is, by far, the most challenging and for the exact reasons you mentioned. I've been completely owned on it, so far. It's going to show a lot of people who the good players are. I'm hoping I can get my skill to where it needs to be to succeed on that map.

I recommend learning the edges of the map first. Go to the far left one game, then try the far right the next time you play on it. It makes a lot more sense if you go to those places, because then you'll see where they connect in the middle. It's not as complex as it appears if you're just running around the map like you can do on most Black Ops maps.

If you're going to camp at least play an objective game type.

:alien:

ITs all come down to math man...

when you know the map + 18 players + 18 Normal Respawn Points + roughly 13 Second per a respawn "avg" = Gives you a idea were and when some one going to pop up...

also that funny normal when you play a Objective game and you camp people tell you to play FFA or TDM...lol

Jesus, that has to take some damn skill. I barely function with the sniper rifle in my hands.
Yeaaah played with and against sGs they have some skilled people (Y)
PC gameplay? if not, that fool has some control over his thumbs lol
Yeah PC. We/they all mostly play PC FPS.

    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
    • I'm glad you posted this clarification of the cause of so-called Windows 11 update problems that too often appear in the article headlines.. In the future, it would be better to readers if you took your time, did the analysis before posting an article about Windows problems, which end up being a waste of time. Just saying.
    • Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
