AndyWylde Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Is it the same as Modern Warfare 2, as in they come out on XBL before PSN? Correct, not sure of the exact date it will debut on the PSN but it's sometime in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murr Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Well Stadium is awesome, really enjoying that level, especially on Domination. Managed to have some great games on that level. Discovery - I'm slowly starting to like more and more, again Domination is brilliant, Flag B is so open. Get a good spot to guard it (if your team have it) and you can have a great K/D ratio Kowloon - I FUCKING HATE - wow... I don't think I'll ever enjoy this level. I Cant recall one spot on the map where your safe. It seems that at any point in the level you can be taken out from multiple directions at multiple heights in the level. Berlin - Played this level the least, and not really familiar with it yet, so cant judge. I like the theme though, takes me back to COD 1 / 2 days on PC which is welcome.

Cube Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Stadium - The worst match I've ever had on Black Ops. Kowloon - Enjoyable if the other team isn't camping. Berlin - The middle section with the guns seems pointless. Other than that it seems to be a good tactical map. Discovery - Very enjoyable, with loads of great places.

It seems that at any point in the level you can be taken out from multiple directions at multiple heights in the level. I watched a making of doc on this and Treyarch said they broke several of their golden rules when designing this one so it would feel different. I really like the look of the maps though, however I would really like to see Asylum and Upheaval from WAW, although I know a lot of people didn't like seeing old maps in MW2.

Oxigen_Waste Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I think they should just release every single map from every single previous COD game for each game for like 1500 points. I doubt anyone would complain and they'd make immense profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Sadly it will now never happen, but I'd have loved to have seen CoD and CoD2's maps either directly imported or reskinned (a-la Chinatown in MW and the updated Brecourt in MW2) for the next IW CoD. Some of those maps were absolutely amazing, especially with old-style Headquarters. Pavlov, Toujane, Carentan, Depot, Dawnville/St. Mere Eglise, Harbour, Railyard/Stalingrad... Actually, add Crash, Shipment, Overgrown, Vacant and Crossfire, all from CoD4, and that would be one epic multiplayer map pack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing that pisses me off when buying DLC Maps for each Cod or MW game, they never carry over. Granted the maps just bought for Black Ops are the first I've bought since Modern Warfare1. But still, there are some great levels on each game from COD4,W@W,MW2, and some great maps from COD1 as you've mentioned. Do Activision actually own the rights to the maps? or are IW & Treyarch each responsible for them? Cause Activision should do something along the lines of the Halo2 Map Pack but make them continue on thoughout each game in the series, maybe baring a few of the shitter ones.

Murr Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 If they could somehow beef up the options in Combat Training I'd be a happy bunny. Yeah sometimes when I get frustrated with multiplayer i'll switch to Combat training, and have a laugh, but just TDM is slightly lame, would be good if they could introduce new game types with the bots. Domination would be quite cool. or Demolition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MATtheHAT Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Anyway, how bad are the ps3 hacks so far? I've recently started playing Blops again, after falling out with it. I have not seen one hacked game in the 50 or so I have played so far. Both Modern Warfare's, however, are completely unplayable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kav Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I love being able to play split screen online on this.

jayseven Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Sooo got this game today. Fucking sucking online at the moment, getting like 10 kills and 18 deaths. Getting to know the maps but shit internet connection makes it painful. Not quite gotten to grips with the money-stuff for upgrading weapons... But yeah had a few nice kills (but mostly lots of annoying moments). Played the single player a little and it seems alright. Starting to see what people mean about respawning enemies. usually I'll either sit back and pick people off or run through and be a nutter - this game kinda punishes both forms of play. So yeah. Sucking bad. Really annoying. Kinda considering picking up MW2 again to get my kicks as all the summerfags will be on so easy kills, like :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) I've been playing it the last couple of months online (I'm not even bothering with the campaign, I know it'll be CoD wank). I recommend Ghost (ofc), Sleight of Hand Pro is essential as quicker ADS is a deal breaker (+ reloading fast is ridiculously useful), and the third perk preferably Hacker, though that last one is more variable. As opposed to MW2, I don't silence my weapons. They nerf the guns much more in this game. So instead I recommend dual mag attachment, which gives you more starting magazines (unadvertised on the description) and it makes every other reload faster - so combined with SoH it makes reloading insane. You generally want to avoid the sub-machine guns bar the AK74U for rushing. It's well known that the FAMAS is amazingly powerful, with the Galil also being a very sturdy option. Use those to get confident. Parenthesis ftw. Edited July 1, 2011 by dwarf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Cheers man I've noticed on gun games/shooters (i forget the name) that I've been slayed even when I've had the trigger first. I know it's a noob move to blame my tools but frankly it's happened so often it had to be something other than me -- slieght of hand it is. Ghost is essentially cold-blooded, right? I've noticed waaay more choppers in Blops. When learning maps I basically do nothing but rush so set-ups for that are very much appreciated. I'll settle once I know where the hot spots are, so I'm all about quick-fire, short-range. Level 9 atm - got to level 6 whilst drunk in sheff so I've not got much going for me atm. Once I know which maps are open/closed I may start shotty-ing it. Never really played that way but hey. Any map packs worth investing in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) Yeah Ghost is cold-blooded, but the pro-version (invisible to aircraft) is a bit more of a bitch to unlock in Blops because the 3 challenges required for pro are a tad erksome. And by gun games do you mean Cod solely? Because I can only think of KZ3 that has an equivalent to SoH. It might well be an inconsistent Internet connection that damages your games. Rush classes are fairly self-explanatory, you'll want Lightweight (preferably pro for quicker ADS after sprinting), sleight of hand (always sleight of hand!) and marathon. Don't silence your weapons as said - use the AK74U with either extended mags or dual mag. My favourite rush class though is 'teh shotty' one. Marathon, Lightweight, steady-aim. Use the Spas silenced (doesn't sound amazing in practice and almost always takes two shots to kill but honestly it's pretty awesome - especially for maps like Summit). You can flank, hang around fairly close to short-range areas and nearby spawn locations and completely tear the opponents up, and you won't be on enemies' radar from shooting. The Spas has a fast fire rate so put your skepticism aside. Plus, you'll want to be using UAV as one of your killstreaks, always. That's what I like to do anyway. I know nothing of the map packs, I'm only borrowing the game for a long time. Edited July 1, 2011 by dwarf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spas is probably the only silenced weapon that doesn't seem to be nerfed, actually seems to be more effective when silenced. Some of the maps are good, but unless your gonna play zombies as well, I wouldn't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Using an enfield at the moment. Most games I join are carnage with the amount of carepackages flying around. Getting to know some of the maps, getting to be very pissed off at players higher level than me who clearly suck - and starting to have the occasional positive k/d!

Doing alright with it - learning my range which is what most of this game was about for me before. Level 18, k/d ratio is 0.98 - was 0.2 at one point :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
