official Call of Duty: Black Ops

[rajputwarrior]

They don't. It's still the clean sound experience from previous Call of Duty games with more oomph on the gun sounds ( See the video I posted earlier http://vimeo.com/16439438 ). BC2 is just noise and everything easily gets drowned out.

(Y) good vid, guns sound awesome.

For those of you not wanting to pay 60 bucks for the game. Direct2Drive has a promo code that saves you 14.99..

Go to purchase the game, and on check out, add promo code: bigsavings and you save 25% off of BlackOps.. much better than the ridiculous 59.95 price tag.

It IS through steam.

Download the manual installer, it will launch the Steam installer and ask for a cd-key which will be given out 7 AM on the day of release.

[rajputwarrior]

It IS through steam. Once you run the game or something it'll run steam and steam will ask for your key which you get on the 9th of November.

that's awesome!!! i'm getting it now. THANKS!!!

i thought d2d had their own download service?

They do but it's a Steamworks game, so it's Steam per default.

Yeah, what the guy above me said. Steamworks is what I was looking for!

[Chasethebase Veteran]

I found that the game was cheaper elsewhere than on Steam, it's usually the other way around.

[rajputwarrior]

just bought it for 45 bucks :) thanks iamawesomewicked (Y)

[Sethos]

Haha, this is awesome - Also echoes all of the drama queens trying to nitpick every little thing they see about the game, trying to find something wrong with it.

^ :blink: that's a HUGE glitch?

[Sethos]

/facepalm

It's a joke.

[rajputwarrior]

/facepalm

It's a joke.

i know that, i just can't believe the vid title says HUGE glitch...

[Sethos]

... You have got to be kidding me :|

i'm presuming im missing something because I can't hear the sound of the video here at work...

Anyway, apparently a pre-patch has been released / will be released to further cut down on quickscoping. It's not possible to do kill without the scope animation ever playing fully like MW2, but it was possible to kill in very rapid succession after the scope animation was done playing ( Which is fast ) - So now they added an accuracy penalty after getting in scoped mode, so there's a further delay after pressing aim and being able to hit 100% accurately. <3 Treyarch.

Yeah treyarch seems to be actually caring about game balance unlike IW.

amazing how quickly the tables have turned. Remember when we praised IW over Treyarch?

[Sethos]

Remember when IW didn't make that cesspool called MW2?

[Cupcakes]

Because COD fans are looking up to Treyarch to pick up where IW failed with MW2. If COD4 was still the most recent release from IW, I'd still be looking smug at Treyarch and ignoring WaW and any of their previous releases as I always have.

It's just that MW2 let down a large portion of people that faith was put into Treyarch to make the series better than it has ever been.

[Cyplex]

Preloading my copy from Steam...super excited about it since I have been painfuly playing MoH for the past 2 weeks!

[Sikh]

Remember that MW2 was a cesspool because of Fagtick and he wanted control?

After the major hate MW2 got, thats the reason treyarch is picking up the slack. The publisher has nothing to say when your in the hands of Bobby Fagtick.

If you look at the obvious, the PC part of this game, the info on it was posted instantly after black ops was revealed to everyone. Why? Because they wanted everyone to say "oh IW sucks, Treyarch is awesome" even though all Treyarch does is Bank on anything IW did.

Dont believe me? Wait till the next COD game when they cant stretch the engine any farther, lets see who comes out with a new engine because I gurrantee treyarch cant pull it off and as far as sledgehammer goes, I havent seen there work yet so im not gonna comment.

But overall, I dont like treyarch and never had. They stick to adding fluff to the old engine and banking off other peoples work. They also bank on how many platforms they can stretch it too. Of course black ops will have higher numbers then MW2 when its being released for every god damn platform ever. Im surprised they actually didnt keep the PS2 in loop, but a god damn call of duty game for the Wii and DS?

I work at gamestop and the only reason call of duty sells so much for the wii is because its the only "M" rated FPS for the Wii that looks good.

[Sethos]

Remember that MW2 was a cesspool because of Fagtick and he wanted control?

No.

What does that have to do with core gameplay balancing issues, which was the problem.

[Sikh]

No.

What does ANY of that have to do with core gameplay balancing issues, which was the problem.

Come on sethos. You of all people?

You really cant tell me you blame IW and then right after the game releases activision basically said "**** you".

Member that debacle? Or are you gonna blame IW for it? Because I blame activision not IW. IW hasnt done anything to me for me to think different. Once the PC Street got moved to and 2 months before there was all this crap about there have been last minute changes on the pc copy and ****, yeah wasnt IW.

Just look at the facts, They(IW) have had no reason to screw us like they did, so there was a reason.

[Sethos]

Sikh, you need to stop with those 'tard rants because they rarely make sense and it just sounds like you are a bit too angry and bitter.

What the hell does Activision or Kotick or this entire Call of Duty ordeal have to do with the fact, that IW made some poor development decisions in the design phase that effected core gameplay?
