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.

Yea, those guides are excellent!

The one thing about this game that frustrates me is that, despite all configs, you still can't really get above 30 FPS for some reason. :/

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.

Found a pre-made cfg and it worked like a charm, getting ~45FPS now. :D

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 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.

I was pretty happy with the map pack... I really like the new maps. while I think $15 is a bit much it def added to the MP gameplay

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.

Hate Claymores? This is the video for you!

[ApuBo]

i play this game as is meant to be, use all resources to win, also only HC mix ones ^^, don't know my k/d ratio (im at work atm).

if anyone interested can add me on steam = apubo . ^^

[LiquidSolstice]

Man. A Stoner with a Red Dot (X style reticle), SoH Pro, Scavenger Pro, and Marathon with semtex. Winning formula.

The flamethrower works quite well in Hardcore TDM. Don't know if anybody plays it but its very effective (just watch out for teammates if you don't wanna get kicked) :shifty:

My first commentary. Thoughts and ideas?

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...

[MovieFanatic07]

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)

I LOVE LOVE Annihilation maps. Much much better. Escalation raised the bar but Annihilation is just awesome. Hazard looks AMAZING visually, Hangar 18 is SICK. Overall Annihilation is well worth it!

Unedited TDM Bozzylicious footage on Hangar 18. :)
