We play Modern Warfare 2 online, and are awaiting Black Ops (or BLOPS, as it must be called). Most of us are on the 360, but there are several of us who play on PC and PS3. Campaign-wise, if there's still anything that you're not sure about, a military wizard did it.

Prestige and Hardened Editions announced! Won't somebody please think of the children?
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102746-Activision-Unveils-Black-Ops-Collector-Editions
Activision has unveiled the Hardened and Prestige edition of the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops and as expected, they are equal parts cool and expensive.
You all probably remember the Prestige Edition of last year's Modern Warfare 2 but here's a little reminder, just in case: night vision goggles. The over-the-top Mewtwo collector's edition came with an equally over-the-top price tag of 150 bucks, but it was enough of a hit with hardcore fans that Activision has decided to do the same thing with Black Ops.
Behold! The Hardened Edition of Black Ops includes a custom, limited edition Black Ops medal, a Black Ops avatar outfit, four exclusive co-op multiplayer maps and a premium SteelBook case. It seems nice.
For the real collector, though, there's the Prestige Edition, and this is where we separate the men from the boys. Along with all the goodies included in the Hardened Edition, the Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige Edition also comes with an RC-XD Video Surveillance Vehicle, modeled after the in-game RC-XD Killstreak reward. It's a fully-functional radio-controlled vehicle with 200 foot range, digital proportional steering and throttle, independent suspension, a display stand and built-in video camera and microphone that will transmit audio and color video to the pistol-grip remote, which is equipped with a speaker and two-inch backlit color screen with 220x176 resolution.
This kind of gaming goodness doesn't come cheap: The Black Ops Hardened Edition carries a price tag of $79.99, 20 bucks more than the regular release, while the Prestige Edition will set you back $149.99. It's a bit rich for my blood, but that doesn't really matter because, just like Modern Warfare 2, these special editions are only being released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Sorry, PC gamers, no radio-controlled surveillance vehicle for you!
Call of Duty: Black Ops is set for release on November 9 for the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii
Modern Warfare 3 probably won't happen/be any good
Because Infinity Ward has fucking imploded on itself and unless the newly-created (and independent) Respawn Entertainment manage to get the licence back, it'll either not get used or be used to make a sub-par title. Sad.
Infinity Ward and Activision go through a messy divorce
Spoiler:
-M16A4's recoil significantly decreased while equipped.
[STRIKE]-SPAS-12's spread of shot tightened up, creating a longer 1-shot-kill range.[/STRIKE]
-FAL's damage increased from 55-35 to 55-40 while using the sight, which then allows 2 shot kills at any range (using Stopping Power) even with a silencer.
-MG4, M240, and the M9 do not benefit from equipping a Silencer. That is to say, when firing these weapons while silenced, you will still appear on the radar when you fire.

(X360) Friends List for that console which overheats a lot:
We've got a CoD Clan Meta-Tag run by Burtletoy: A PA CoD Clan
[STRIKE]A PA CoD Clan is now full! Hit me up on PA MW2[/STRIKE]
From here, you can view other people on the tag and invite them to your game. I may do the same if the group I join needs more people, but sometimes I just want to pub-stomp, so don't be offended if I ignore you. Also, send the invite to the clan tag. Everybody sending one invite is far more convenient then me sending every invite.
There's also PA CoD4, which is an older account with a lot of names on it, I think it was being run by I King Kong I. It probably isn't being maintained anymore, FYI.
PA MW2 is now also full. Send invites now to A PA MW2 Clan

Trim the fat and all that.
EDIT: How many people actually read OPs after the first few weeks/months?
Oh man. Halfway through the game and I'm in first place on my team at 7/0/12 with only 510 points.
Also, Holi you're cool for posting the video, but a douche for OMA/DC'ing me! I kept track and I think you won 8-4. I have to go back through when I'm not at work and actually listen to the chat. Maybe I'll hear Mercy swear at me. Makes all three of those games totally worth it!
@Seventh: I prestiged even though I didn't really want to, just so I have something to do in game. I doubt I'll finish this one.
i want the cool prestige challenges, but i wouldnt lvl up enough to make it worth it.

I'll fight fire with fire any day. You'll also notice we all had 3 bars and my bullets weren't doing shit. lol.
This is my first COD game. It took me a long time to realize a few things I'd been doing wrong for a while.
a - I was using iron sights wrong
b - I didn't realize you had to turn on blast shield (thought it was passive)
c - Took me probably 100 matches before I figured out you could change classes mid-game
I'm sure there are plenty more. So I just wanted to make sure it's not some crazy handicap I've been playing with. (read: I need excuses for why I suck.)

@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
After fussing around trying to get myself and two others into a match for about 10 minutes, we finally get merged into a game that just ended. So, pre-game lobby. Then the lobby closes, so we try again. We get into a match with 4 guys who are running CB Pro and Ninja Pro and after getting a small lead, proceed to hide for the rest of the match. That was a lot of fun, let me tell you. Then, we leave that lobby, because fuck that, and we finally get into a domination match which we are winning pretty handily, until the host rage-quits. New host found... new host rage-quits. New host found... laggiest fucking host I've ever played with. Lost connection, game lobby closes, XBOX gets turned off.

Yeah. If I can get a couple others on as well. I play pretty much every night, but I can't play with pubs anymore, and playing with half a team or less tends to be just as miserable.

It wasn't as funny as the MW2 one. Entropy Hat can eat dick off the hot barrel of my firebase turret.
I figured as much. Just sent you and Zeke an invite just in case.

Thet favella game against the hiders was completely fucking ridiculous though. Six minutes into the game and one of them was 0 : 0 : 0.

I used to go with inverted controls, but with 3 brothers, and each of us once liking different control schemes, it went away. The only thing that remains from my older control schemes are the higher sensitivity. For some reason, most people I know like turning like they are in molasses.

Couldn't tell off hand, but do I rack a new round faster with Sleight of Hand, or does it just help with the actual reloading?
402's last tweet was on the 13th and two tweets down is him actually responding to someone going 'fuck MW2'.
Not a whole lot happening at Infinity Ward I imagine.
No. IF SoH did that then the SPAS and 1887s would be OP. Oh wait... :mrgreen:
The best SPAS loadout is silenced w/ SP. My friends call that gun The Squeaker. It rains silent death on your foes.
At least when the tuber misses the first shot you've got enough time to kill him four times over before he can fire again.
FAMAS/M16 guy just pulls the trigger again =(
Edit: I'd also (mildly) argue that outside of mortaring the poor people who keep running past the humvee on Afghan, hitting someone with a 203 takes (ever so slightly) more skill than the point and click adventure that is burst fire.
When I am playing, the DC tuber rarely needs a second shot, as they have an area scoped and its death when you walk into it. There are door ways beyond count that can be ever so well camped by a tuber.
The burst guns at the very least need to track you a little bit to get a kill, generally.
For my tastes, I NEVER get upset by getting shot by any gun, as it seems that's the way the game should be played, balanced or not doesn't bother me. Its the tubing/knifing that get me, as they don't seem to be in the spirit of the game.
On another note, I am torn on prestiging again. I have a bunch of weapons totally unlocked. I have Pro perks for most. But, I hate watching XP go to waste. It will kill me to unlock stuff while at max level, knowing that the XP could have been upping my levels and such. BUT, if you don't prestige right away, you almost should never prestige again, as you would then have to go get the weapons totally unlocked all over again. Argh.
Ah, the quandaries of a min/max nerd...
I had to laugh at the terrible team we played last night in demolition. Someone asked them if they knew what gametype they were playing and one of the responded, "Team death match, I don't need the wins" o_O
I know people do it, but I was surprised he admitted it that easily. I wish someone had been recording the demo game on crash when the entire other team quite halfway through, we were 3 seconds from the forfeit & an entirely new team gets put in our game and they nearly won. We were all screwing around until we realized that we might lose. One guy on the other team was in the game for 1/2 a demolition round & had 44 kills.
I feel you there. I've stopped at Prestige 9 & love it. (^_-)b
In other news, I had probably the highest style-points kill I've ever gotten yesterday. I was playing on SubBase and I'm up on the rooftop directly across from the server room picking guys off. Someone tries to come after me via the catwalk immediately to my left. I saw him coming and we exchanged some fire, but I was at the end of my clip so instead of reloading I jump over him and the catwalk and knife him on my way to the ground.
