official Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Sethos]

I hope you're kidding. The MP5K is as good as it was in Call of Duty 4 (:p), if not better.

And the MP5 in Call of Duty 4 was nothing but ass and recoil.

im so ****ed I lost like 3k in wager match money because of Constantly "steam connect failed" today. Was winning all of them too.

Compared to the other SMGs, it has low recoil. Compared to the MP5K in Modern Warfare 2, it has much less recoil.

hey ps3 people (i have the game for ps3 too), if you do split screen online can both people log into their own accounts or does the second player have to be a guest?

Oh so that's why I see nobody using it, it's that good.

Guest only.

Really wish I could get into this game properly, looks like I won't be able to for a few days until it's fixed.

I got the game yesterday and I played it in Multiplayer mode only, sp is going to wait :)

So my impressions so far as I never played Treyarch game before:

1. I played on the jungle map first and and I did not like the graphics at all. It seems that the graphics is good on some maps and suck at others, for example - Array and Nuketown are on par with MW2. Maybe its just the colors but I hate the design of player models.

2. LAG! Damn lag, I play on 360 and it changed the host 3 times during my first game, I was like Whaaaat!? Some matches were barely playable and I had to finish them just because I wanted to fulfill a contract. I do not know how the game picks the best host but clearly isn't working!

3. Is it me or we used to have ambient music/sounds in MW2 during the whole match? In BO we have some music in the beginning and some music probably at the end...not sure, but the Jungle map is too quite which drives me nuts lol

Anyways, I'm sure the game is going to grow on me, no doubt. I have no patience to play it tonight again.

Is there a spectator mode? When I looked at my friends list while Matchmaking, one person had "watching someone play a game." I initially thought this was theater mode, but wouldn't that say something like "in theater mode"

I'm kinda curious about the sales numbers, whether it outsold MW2 or not.

probably won't find out until next week. the pre-order number was higher wasn't it?

Guest only.

Just to add, guest accounts can rank up, but as soon as they sign out the experience they earned is reset.

However, Xbox Live players can sign into 2 accounts & play the game with 1 copy on the same console & rank up, keeping their experience even after they quit (Y)

i'm about half way through the campaign and not really got any idea what's going on >.< In terms of how it handles... it doesn't feel like cod... MW1 and 2 felt the same in terms of play... Cod5 felt like both of them a little bit too however black ops feels a lot different. the only thing that reminds me that its cod is the constant fragging and overpowered by hordes of enemy.

the part where you are escaping the prision and you have to bring down the helicopter was just a death fest for me. also the mission when you have to take down the rocket, going into the building after you have done the covert stuff, as soon as buddy would open the door, shot killed :/, probably died at least 20 times there trying to get into that room

http://www.codblackopsblog.com/black-ops-sells-5-million-copies-in-24-hours/

Call of Duty: Black Ops has sold a humongous 5 million units during its first 24-hours on sale, beating lasts year?s Modern Warfare 2 record breaking day-one sales figure of 4.7m units in 24-hours. Infinity Ward?s title also went on to make publishers Activision over a Billion Dollars, breaking a number of industry sales records in the process, so chances are that Black Ops will go on to make another mountain of cash for Bobby Koticks firm.

Shares in Activision grew more than five per cent on Monday ahead of the release. Although analysts doubt Black Ops can top the overall performance of its predecessor, if day-one sales are anything to go by, it may well happen.

Really loving the campaign so far.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm not at all disappointed. On the third mission, and I think I'm already enjoying it even more than both MW campaigns--both of which I enjoyed immensely.

[Darth Radeon]

I really wasn't considering Black Ops due to the misinformation about dedicated servers on the PC but now that that's cleared up, I'm really excited.

[x-scratch]

decided to give it a go again but its very choppy for me, i know some people have the same dual core proc but they are not having any issues

Despite the whole mix up with my Amazon order, which I still have to technically return to Best Buy, what is sweet is I was right, not only did I get the pre order laser Cell thing, which I really did not want, but I did also get the $20 promo credit that they were offering as well, so I just pre-ordered Gran Turismo 5 for $40. Which that also comes with a $10 credit, so hopefully I can just keep that rolling at Amazon and keep getting games with the pre-order bonus of credit! Makes the whole mishap with the shipping almost acceptable. Key word there is almost.

amazon canada never gets deals like that :(

[Massiveterra]

Yeah I got the laser cell thing. I had no clue it came with it. But I did notice it came with an authenticity certificate? Will these things be worth anything in the future?

That's what I used to do with my preorders in the UK & our retailer GAME.

Every purchase rewards you with points which meant more money off the next game. Although eventually I found a game cheaper elsewhere so it broke the chain :p

God knows how many points i have on my game card >.< i should check. I bought 4 360's on it, a PS3, a wii, god knows how many games and so on. (Whenever i have been in game with my mates and they have bought something, consoles, games w.e i have thrown my card at them :p)

[P.M.K]

The lag for me is so bad that I really can't play the game.

Ping of about 800.

[GeeQ]

this game for me it's quite disappointing... :(
