I love the Stoner but I think the M60 is just better
curse you, M60, the best machine gun in this and bc2
I don't like the M60, it fires too slowly. The stoner on the other hand is the fastest firing LMG, and the extended clip attachment doubles the ammo.
Anyone hear about this hardline pro thing where it lets you gamble on all packages, SAM and sentry? So you can basically have 3 care package killstreaks at 3, 4 and 5.
yes, it works and it is intended and it makes Hardline Pro one of the sexiest perks in the game
Ugh. Have to work a Saturday to make up for taking release day off. I'm sure my productivity will be nill, as evident by my posting already this morning...
Flak Jacket is the unsung hero perk of Blops. I smirk at RC-XDs and giggle at frag grenades while I casually plant and defuse bombs.
It's 18h10, haven't gotten into a game all day. Played a bit of combat training, but it's not the same. I'm getting a bit jaded about this game.
Bad pc optimisation, (all cpu and no ram use - typical console-port shit). Lag, stuttering gameplay. And now I can't even get in games after the server browser builds a list for about 10 minutes.
Yeah I was able to play some this morning but its been dead since than. Its really damn shitty to not be able to play the game on the first weekend after its release.
Personally i think the problem is due to stat reporting just like TF2 had.
There are several reasons why i say this.
- Frame drops on regular intervals and not in specific places (even in SP, remember that you play connected). Doesn't matter at all the graphical settings.
- Ventrillo ping jumps from 50 to 500 as soon as i enter a round and in most cases i stop hearing mid round just to have all the sound dumped at the end of the round.
- Other players warping as if they were lagged.
- Contracts not updating correctly ( you have to load into the next round or they will reset. lost 4 of them before i noticed it )
- Losing XP e even ranks.
- The long connecting times to any action on the menu.
- The ping flickering ingame at a huge speed for everyone, all the time. Not huge amounts but small ones, like from 50 to 51 and back to 50 in milisec.
- Cancelling a connection to a server or dropping due to error causes the game to jump to the main screen and not the server browser, forcing me to reping everything again.
- No Localization filtering. Ping 100000 servers, really ? My game hanged 3 times due to this.
- Friends not getting invites or getting them with a huge delay.
- Theater mode taking ages to show info on a game.
- Theater mode only worked on the first day and just on 3 rounds.
- Routers crashing due to connection overload.
- The need to change the server settings.
- Server getting lagged and not registering hits.
- A friend reported that wager matches are not having any issues at all and they even get saved into theater !
I just got this game pretty cheap (thanks to LewieP for the headsup) and I'm currently downloading it on Steam. When I get to the point where I get to play it, I'd like to play with some PA people.
Even if you get into a game right now, it's lagged as fuck. Not even normal lag, it doesn't bound or anything like that. It just skips in small increments constantly.
Is there any information on wtf is going on with multiplayer today? When mp went down I was still able to play zombie coop with a friend but I can't even do that now.
I'm getting depressed.

Man, nothing beats* bodying whiny K/D whores. Especially when they start bitching about how they could totally beat you if they were playing team death match instead of some stupid faggot domination game and then cite nonexistent numbers for proof of their superiority.

One of my favorite things about BLOPS is the fact that plants/defuses/captures are finally given some weight in terms of XP/challenges. It really feels like people are trying to win objective maps rather than everyone sitting back trying to get nukelulz a la MW2
What's the easiest way to get all the pro perks? I want to unlock them all but I'm not sure which ones should be paired together so that I can do so in the quickest way possible?

Thats a really good question, i've been wondering the same thing. I had a pretty easy time running Flak Jacket + Hacker + Claymore while playing demolition, that seemed the be the best map type and I completed the challenges fairly quick for those.
I ran Hardline + Marathon and completed the challenges pretty quickly on TDM as well.
I never run anything other than SoH for my secondary perk though...
I have waaay more success with sniping on that map than any other
This. So much this.
I was 11-0 in the first 5 minutes of a recent Domination Match on Array (my team was winning so I sat back and covered an area), and finished off at 13-2. I rarely go under a 3 KDR on that map with L96A1+Variable Scope, Ghost P, Scout P, and Ninja P.
The camera spike is also becoming one of my favourite toys. I love watching people run up to destroy it while I empty my Pythons into their back.
I've played one gun game so far, mostly enjoyed it. Nuketown was a pain though, I got stuck on the bolt action sniper for a while because guys kept spawning behind me and really enjoyed shanking me.
Everytime I played on Nuketown I would rack up on the stuff I needed to get the pro perks. Play someting objective based that doesn't have a kill limit.
Excellent games today. I loved when the other team just kept rushing to one choke point. It felt like campaign, but against dumber than AI humans.
And that team that talked such mad shit: owning the shit out of smack-talking twunts just makes me giddy.
How major is the difference between running with and without Steady Aim on a AR? I'm thinking about going Warlord and adding dual mags to my Reflex, but I'm unsure how much worse it will be without Steady Aim.
Also, anyone with Ninja Pro yet? I swear I have yet to hear anyone running around, even if they have a non-Ninja build. Can you actually hear things with Pro? If not I'm sticking to my motion sensor.
@Yorker: Play domination, C4 B or whatever point you are defending, then detonate when you hear the audio prompt that you are losing B.

Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

It was pretty funny when tzavooma single handedly got half the team to quit in the lobby. Also when they started talking shit about their "higher scores" when they placed third and sixth respectively.

If you ADS all the time you won't notice much difference...though you won't be able to ADS out of sprint as well anymore...and that is a negative if you're really aggressive playstyle-wise.
No lag whatsoever, no warping and even saved the match in theater. I am wondering if the problem isnt with gameservers and not the game itself.
Also, Gun game is really fun.

Argh, my server browser is shitting itself repeatedly, where once it could find 10k+servers, now it's finding like.....6. And it's not refreshing.....sonfabitch, I only had one hour before work today to play!
Ah well, thankee for the steam invite though, I'll be sure to shoot mans in-game later
So since I cant play online at all right now I've been messing around in Theater mode looking at some games from this morning and tried the record button. If you record some sweet part of the game and save it as a new clip you can choose to render said clip and BLOPS will make a AVI file for you in the game directory that you can upload to youtube. The quality is pretty bad so I still recomend using fraps but its better than nothing to show of all the funny things that happen ingame.

yes, it works and it is intended and it makes Hardline Pro one of the sexiest perks in the game

If they don't fix footsteps I'm going to be annoyed.
Somebody shouldn't be able to sprint into my back with marathon on to stab me without there being ANY NOISE WHATSOEVER.
I'm getting depressed.

Unless they have Ninja.

You cant run ninja and marathon and even ninja without the pro version still makes some noise unlike mw2 :P
Ninja Pro + Ghost Pro + silencer makes for one sneaky sonuvabitch though.
question of value:
What's the easiest way to get all the pro perks? I want to unlock them all but I'm not sure which ones should be paired together so that I can do so in the quickest way possible?
Actually, Ninja did still make noise in MW2.
It was quiet enough not to be noticeable.

Also, spawn and footstep fix, yes plz.

i got a midair kill on a guy after boosting off a dirt hill
he typed in "fucking car hacks man"
and i got kicked
