So, my rank got restored :D I think my challenges were still reset though, never mind, more Exp for me :D

Also these weapon guide videos are really well done, I recommend watching them.

Eh?

Highest settings available = well over 60fps avg for me in SP/MP. Sure you've tried disabling v-sync?

I've done everything. The game constantly stutters and is generally unplayable for me. Even at 800x600. I've customised settings within the config files and everything.

I finally reached a K/D ratio of 1.95. My next goal is 2.0 and it'll be hard to reach it. I have 30,000+ kills and my friends, whom I normally play with, have stopped playing the game for awhile because of exams. It's really hard to play with random people who rarely use their mics to communicate. I tend to play a little competitively and I try my best to help out my team by calling out the locations of enemies. Unfortunately, very few return the favour.

So I see Activision is finally trying to extort another $15 from PC users - I guess this is where I jump off the bandwagon. Not a bad $45 spent! :p

They charge for the map packs on the PC?

lol.

They did the same with Modern Warfare 2. The Variety map pack for Call of Duty 4 was free, but it was "sponsored" by NVIDIA.

Glad that happened with CoD4, because the maps included with that are great. I did end up buying both packs for MW2 (One when it was on sale mind) but won't be buying any for this game.

Back to the game, I've never used the flamethrower attachment. Actually, I don't think I've ever been killed by it either, or even seen it. How well does it work?

EDIT: Thanks for the clarification on "Dolphin Divers." Again, the act of running and then jumping to a prone position is a legitimate tactic.

I too I have rarely seen the flamethrower, other than when contracts call for its completion

Those weapon guides are really good, I was using the spaz-12 and the perks he recommended last night and it was really effective. I ended up with 47 Kills on Havana during a game of HQ.

So I guess I have been under a rock to just find out yesterday that another Map Pack is being released on Tuesday June 28th

http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/call-of-duty-black-ops/news/treyarch-teases-black-ops-annihilation-map-pack-with-new-trailer/a-2011061717834112026/g-20100430155437473001

Here's the behind-the-scenes trailer for the pack, which makes its XBL debut on June 28 with day-one downloaders treated to a double-XP weekend starting July 1. The trailer offers a few location-specific tips for the new multiplayer maps ? Hangar 18, Silo, Hazard and Drive-In ? and a look at Shangri-La, the new Zombies map which injects Night of the Living Dead into that other 60s obsession: mystical old Eastern stuff. Basically, it's a tightly-wound cornucopia of 60s oddity, held together with the ability to stab people in the gut for fun. If that notion doesn't hold anything new for you, you may actually be Charles Manson... in which case, your presence on our site is both flattering and terrifying.

Prob going to skip this as I dont know how much longer I will be playing Black Ops...

I personally like black ops much more than mw2. Interesting enough I bought all map packs for mw2, and none for black ops. The maps in black ops are horrible, defiantly not worth 15 dollars, coupled with the lag i refuse to buy map packs for a game that runs like it isnt finished. Buying the map packs says "you done good treyarch, I will support you" I am not giving them that message.

I disagree. While the first map pack release was only pretty damn good, the second is really quite AMAZING. Zoo and Stockpile are particularly fantastic. I recommend you look at that one if you're serious about MP.

But then again I play a ton of MP, so it's really cheap entertainment to me.

I'll keep that in mind, I feel I do play quite a bit of it, have about 30,000 kills (at least i think thats alot lol)

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
