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)

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
