I just encountered the worst spawning ever.

Playing Demolition on Radiation and my whole team kept on spawning in one area and the other team was just standing there gunning us down constantly. I just turned off the PS3 before I threw the controller at the TV.

I've had enough of Black Ops now. I have to think twice whether I want to play it or not. It's the worst Call of Duty game in the series.

Just had another spawn ambush on Firing Range and Havana. Dying 1 second after spawning.

A few days ago I traded Black Ops into Amazon for $30 credit on their website. Considering I purchased Black Ops from Amazon for $54.99, and got a $10 or $20 video game credit (I forget which one), I would say that is a pretty fair deal indeed, much better then Gamestop. They emailed me a label to ship it through UPS, so they paid for the shipping back, and from the time I shipped it to the time I got the email about having the credit took 5 days total, and I shipped two days after Christmas, December 27th, so that is pretty impressive for sure. I also traded in Halo Reach for $27 andUncharted 2 for $25. All shipped back in the same package. So now I have credit I can use anywhere on their site, not just for video games, etc. So I really may start using their service over Gamestop, no doubt about it.

Yeah, it sucks. It's nothing new though. It was an issue in MW2 during demolition games as well since the spawn zone never changed. I'd literally spawn on claymores, and in between opponents tactical insertions. And if I managed to make it through the claymores and spray, someone would call in a harrier on us. It was 100 times worse when the care package glitch was still around.

That connection error sign makes me want to plant my controller right in the middle of my playstation, they need to sort these problems out once and for all.

For me, it's the spawning that really makes me want to do that. After I respawn, they always spawn/are behind me. You have no idea how many times I've died by being shot in the back tonight. It's ridiculous.

I've just realised something.

I've been watching a lot of commentator videos on YouTube and I'm positive console weapons to a lot more damage than the PC ones.

Nah they don't, its because theater is a lying little bitch, if you watch the same match a couple of times it will be slightly different each time when using theater.

I hope you weren't capturing bases because you were trying to record something.

Look at the score - none of my team were capturing bases so I just gave up and tried to get me some kills.

Also, I've just lost about 15k credits because of a bug. It's like the bug which doesn't save classes except this time I didn't just get reset back to my credits minus purchases..I lost the credits too :x

New video - Domination Nuketown again..testing out the Stoner. Seems good - might be awesome with extended ammo and reflex sight.

Sorry. I was just a bit bitter over a recent game. I was playing demo and I was trying to get the team together at the last bomb site. One guy/kid told me that I wasn't his coach and that he would "cut me" if I showed up in his neighborhood. Seems like a perfectly sane response to my "coaching".....

Back to your post - I don't think I've ever used the death machine.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
