Call of Duty Black OPS

Holy SHIT, that Tomahawk kill. Hot damn.

I love how every video of a long-range tomahawk kill always has them stop dead in their tracks when they see the kill confirm.
 
[quote name='Jimbo Slice']Tentative schedule for the Activision / CAG showdown

1st - Domination on Cracked (our choice)
2nd - TDM on Firing Range or Villa (other team's choice)
3rd - Domination on Radiation

So far it's looking like the team will be me, Trakan, X, Thi Bag, Kuga and TheRock. Sound correct to everyone?

Edit: Yo Panda you are welcome to be a fill-in if someone can't make it, which I'm sure will happen.[/QUOTE]

Is the time the same? 7 PM PST?
 
Need some help. I'm a pretty middle of the road at best player but man every time I run into an enemy and we draw on each other 90% of the time I get killed. Sometimes it seems like I am starting to shoot first and still losing. Do I suck at aiming? Is it lag (I doubt it)? Any advice? It really sucks when you feel you draw first and lose in a shootout. Is there a trick to targeting down your sights and when you should pull the trigger? Thanks.
 
[quote name='Viva Las Vegas']A little of both. Usually burst. Is that best?[/QUOTE]


in my opinion... it kinda depends on the gun...

it seems to me that some burst better and some work a little better if you spray just a bit... also some seem to be quicker going into ADS than others.

I think that's about 20% of the problem, the other 80% would be attributed to lag. The M16 is a 3 round burst yet, stationary enemies somehow manage to take 3+ bursts and live. On paper the most accurate gun would be the M16/G11 or the FAL because of their controlled ROFs yet the M16 in all honesty sucks, with exceptions, and the FAL is good in hardcore and if you aren't in a laggy game in core otherwise you're gonna get out gunned. Just my take on the situation from what I've seen and played.

Connection will play a huge role in this game. The person with the best connection has a huge advantage. All the non-believers can say whatever they want regarding that, but if you ever get a chance to host a game, you'll see how easy playing the game online is.

This!

I cant tell you how many gun fights i have lost due to a bad connection. I was running with the stakeout and popped a guy up close. I am running steady aim and grip. had the cross hair turn red and pull the trigger and nothing happend. Took two more shot nothing happen....then enemy turns around panic sprays me to death. ..all because that player had a better connection.

i just hope they fix the connection problems.

If the kill cam confirms you've registered hit markers (screen flashing red) before you died then it's definitely connection. It happens to me every other game and occasionally when I'm host. There's not much you can do to combat it aside from slowing your style of play down to compensate. Oh, and definitely start conditioning yourself to gun for head shots whenever possible as previously mentioned. Slight of Hand Pro wouldn't hurt either.

or Steady Aim Pro;)
 
Anyone ever go back to the Zombie mode to give it another shot? Finally got 3 friends together last night and we made it to round 26. We could have easily gone a few more levels but one of my buddies timed out on level 25 which at those high levels fucks everything up.
 
Man, the replies to this thread have slowed down recently. :whistle2:s

Corvin, I've yet to give Zombies a shot, hasn't really been a thing I've enjoyed, though.

I think the problem with Zombies for me is that I had a terrible first experience with it in World At War. I got into a group with a buddy of mine and 2 of his friends, and instead of running around getting chased by zombies and having...you know...fun, their plan was "Hey, let's sit in this corner here and make a 4-person formation for 30 rounds and only run out when we need ammo." It was the most boring thing I've ever played.

Ever since then, Zombies doesn't seem appealing at all. It scarred the "Zombies are fun" part of my brain.

Dead Ops is cool, though.

LOL... my condolences. The farthest I've ever gone with a pack of randoms is the 12th round on Five. I normally avoid public horde modes because of scenarios like yours. You're either bored out of your mind or get screwed. There's nothing more annoying than getting abandoned on purpose by a bunch of moronic 12 year olds giggling through your television speakers after you've bought open their escape route. Now that I've gotten the hang of the mode though I've been using it as quick stress reliever to MP.

Thankfully the team I was on was completely different though our tactics were similar to yours. I mean sure we initially started dicking around just testing the waters and stretching our feet a little because each of us assumed the worst from the rest. Surprisingly by the eighth round we had gotten down the routine of elevator camping, cover fire, ammo runs and knowing when to haul ass between levels to safely revive each other. No one got left behind. The only reason we died is because we got overrun mistiming our reloads during the next round wave and two of us were down blocking the path to the elevator switch.
 
Yeah there is still a bit of holing up and defending a spot. You can't really run around in this mode or you are screwed. It's more about a strong defense than a strong offense. The key is keeping a lone zombie alive at the end of a round so you can run around and buy what you need before you start the next round. Kinda defend an area for a wave, unlock the next area and defend that, etc.

Anyway, we finally unlocked the Pack-A-Punch last night too. That's where you get to upgrade your weapons. Good stuff. I upgraded the Thundergun into a Zeus Cannon. lol It's a fun little weapon, but I miss the Waffle.
 
[quote name='Dr.Zoidberg']I didn't try the Stoner63 until now and it seems more like an assault rifle than a light machine gun. Still good though.[/QUOTE]

Just has a really small clip.

That gun kicks some serious shit, though. Ugh, I miss playing this online. I wish I could get internet already.
 
Ugh, Black Ops is starting to pull a Halo Reach on me. Having no net means I can't play, but it's slowly starting to get to the point where I don't really even want to play it when I think about it.
 
Why did you buy the game if you intend to play it online but have no online? I first thought your internet was just down but its been what like a week now?

Well, I mean, I busted through the singleplayer. I haven't had internet in a couple years now, and have been hassling with the internet company for about a year now for them to come out and install. Currently I'm trying to sort the money situation around, will be a hell of a relief when it's all over. Going over a bud's house and playing has been my source of online, which is good, but now that I've beaten the campaign and am starting to get sick of Combat Training, it's turning into a whole buncha "meh".

This is how I'm currently getting my internet. Ghetto-rigging at its finest.

+1 for you fine sir. I love ghetto ingenuity.
 
I've been using the AK, when it's not laggy that gun is my jam. Scavvy/Sleight of Hand/Hacker Pro.

Popped my 'booby-trapped care package' cherry the other night. Killed 2 people. Depending on how saucy I feel I may post the clip!
 
Wow... I'm not exactly sure what's worse in that video; the spawning or the fight or flight instincts of the victim. Any reasonably sane player would have left before it got THAT out of hand.
 
The Treyarch boards are fucking pathetic clicking on a topic sometimes brings you into a loop back to the list of topics and clicking reply brings you back to the top of the thread. It's really not that hard to make a message board function.

Funny video though. I was reading the comments, apparently what they said was they had people scattered around the other spawn points and the game kept spawning their 2 enemies at that particular spot because there were people at the other ones.

Just picked this up for a little under $8 out of pocket. Haven't played a CoD game since CoD4, so here's to me getting owned for awhile....
 
Well the big showdown tonight ended with a resounding thud. The other guy bailed.

He said he will donate the $100 dollars since he had to cancel, so I imagine we can expect a screen cap sometime soon.

I definitely want to reschedule. I was supposed to be done working by 6 at the latest tonight, so I was thought I would make it no problem.

No problem. Sounds good, and thanks for sticking to the deal. Looking forward to playing sometime down the road.
 
As much as I hate doing it and hate to admit that I do it, you kind of have to camp more than run and gun to get killstreaks, rather, do a mixture of both with slightly more camping involved.


I got dogs the other night and went 24 and 1, the one death was from a guy spawning behind me :bomb: but I camped a couple spots picked up a kill or 2 in each spot, then ran to another place. Ended up going into the 2 story house on the side of the road in Hanoi with the bus in front, 1 kill away and the game spawned like the whole enemy team outside the house and I hail mary'd a semtex and got it.
 
Played combat training today and was doing great. Like 30-3, 44-4, and my last match i went 50-1 with 2 gun ships. LOL. Its cool that they take names off your friends list to give the bots.

Whats with the 1 zombie map.... well looks like there is a second map you can unlock. I havent beaten the story yet. But wow, only 1-2 maps?

Not that I want to get into anything and yes that is very impressive, yes everyone has the right to play how they want. (Anything I can say to keep this as no confrontational as possible.)

What is the deal with going into objective based matches and not even trying for the objective? I dont want to say that its easier to rank up a great K/D (because that would undercut his skill) but there is something to be said about not even trying to get the objective and killing people as they are. Especially when how easy it his to spawn trap the shit of a team which clearly happened there. (Not that he had to, his team seemed to be winning pretty easily.)

Maybe its because I simply do not like TDM so I am not hard wired to care about K/D. Its all preference not right or wrong but I will tell you that I would have had to try to get that last flag instead of camping that building (I dont know if camping is the right word there....protecting?) if I didnt want to go after objectives than I would just play TDM.
