Prone diving literally enrages me like nothing else :angry:

Same here. My problem is when i'm running for some cover, and instead of going prome behind said cover like in MW2, I dive over it and promtly die. Very annoying.

I haven't seen anyone do effective dropshotting as I was playing Hardcore and thought people were blowing it a bit out of proportion. Then by some random coincidence I was thrown in a Softcore S&D game where the very first guy I follow in spectator as I wait to join does the dropshooting constantly and was very effective. So apparently, the crappy nature of Softcore allows this tactic and makes it effective. Glad people don't get away with that crap in Hardcore without getting punished by bullets within a second.

So the usual then, game comes out, everyone jizzes their pants and a week later everyone is complaining about how broke the new COD is? rofl.gif

What a shock. Glad I stuck to my promise and gave it a miss.

CoD is dead. It might have the sales, but it doesn't have the soul!

I'd imagine the stronger power of the guns in HC mode makes all the difference. In normal mode you lose simply by having to adjust your firing downwards whereas prone gets an accuracy boost - that makes all the difference and you end up losing out if you both start off on an even keel.

It's not an issue yet but it sucks when you get a nice server with a good crowd then two rounds later it's full of proners :angry:

God you are dumb as a barn door, definitely my fault the matchmaking servers aren't working - Are you even talking about the 360 version :rolleyes: ?

Anyone here can confirm they don't work very well with parties at the moment, it's neigh on impossible to play with friends especially when you are more than 3 in the party, it goes all to hell. All this because you get offended over ruining other people's playing experience.

I wonder if this is mostly an issue in Europe? I haven't had any of those issue. I ran in a party this entire weekend. TDM and Combat Training, usually had 4-5 peeps in the party.

Anyone getting frequent host changing?

Twice so far.

I hate Jungle. Stupid map.

One of my favorites actually

Has anyone ever had people talking crap online? As in, "I'm better than you. You're bad!" It almost always ends in the same way. They talk smack for doing well in one TDM game and leave once you start owning them. Funny thing is, all the crap talkers have poor ratios (e.g. less than 1.2).

I spend so much time in parties, so I have not. But when I am not in a party, it seems everyone else is in a party when I join games based on the party icon next to their name and the lack of conversation.

Actually yes.. I am in Ohio and I would say that 2/3 matches I play have AT LEAST 1 host change...I hope they fix this soon because its getting annoying real quick!

Noticed this last night. One game actually changed host about 3 times in one round. one time I was actually arming the bomb on demo and then when we reconnected i died :angry:

I was prone on nuke town when I got killed, from his kill cam I saw that before he shot the crap out of my face, he spawned next to me, then someone else next to him and then someone directly on me.

Definitely one funky spawn system, lol.

I'm surprised how small nuke town is considering how much of a level is there compared to the space you play in, be a better level with that extra room that isn't blocked off.

It's not. Running parties of 3-6 and we usually take two or three times before we get into a match all together. Either everyone is booted or some people end up in X game while others end up in Y game.

No host changing I've experienced. Just constantly playing on a ****ty hosts. Wish it would host change.

Ah, well that sucks :( Glad it hasn't been happening to us (then again, who is to say it won't ;))

Demolition is fun and you get high number. Last night I played a few rounds and got about 20+ kills each game. Just saying. I'm not to HC level yet. ;)

I've just won another copy of this for 360...I win nothing for years and suddenly I win Borderlands and Black Ops within the space of a week! o_O

I wonder if it's possible to trade a new 360 game and get a PS3 copy for it somewhere with no hassle? Anyone know if that's possible?

You can probably go to a store with the version you've got and say that you bought the wrong format. You might be able to get a refund and swap it.

Refund and swap? Are you sure?

Meh, I think I'll just sell it. I'll never play it on PS3.

I've done it before - I won a xbox game but only had a ps3. Took it to gamestation and explained my elderly grandmother bought it for me but for the wrong console and lost the receipt.

It was still in the wrapper so they were happy to trade it for the ps3 version.

Finally got a chance to play the game, I have only played the first level of single play so far and I am loving it. I personally think the game looks better the MW2. Going to play so more, hopefully I enjoy the multiplayer because MoH was a let down...

Can you get acheevos playing on recruit? When I am done with the campaign (playing on Normal right now), I wanted to slap it on recruit to nail some of the acheevos.

Nope - achievements are Normal and above only.

Sucks :(. It's gonna take me a long time to pass Nova 6 without dying.

Well that was uninformed, I went through getting intel and other achievements on recruit, any of the level based ones you shouldn't have a problem getting on any difficulty.

Just finished the campaign last night.

Up until now, my favorite video game campaign has been MW2. Now, it's officially Black Ops. And it has nothing to do with some allegiance to the CoD franchise over any other. For me, this campaign was just absolutely perfect. Usually I get the campaign out of the way to focus on MP, but now that it's over, I just want to go back and play through it again.

And I'm not a snob about story lines in video games, but this one was terrific. I'm so pleased.

Really hoping MP is as good. Time to talk the boyfriend into picking up a copy, so that I'll have someone to play with. Not that I mind going lone wolf, should I need to.
