    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


    still prefer ghost pro though

    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.

    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 !

    also cool thing

    they are apparently looking into both footsteps being too quiet and the spawn system being really dumb at times

    spawn system tweet

    so that's cool

    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.

    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.

    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

    Actually, Ninja did still make noise in MW2.

    It was quiet enough not to be noticeable.

    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 like snow maps and I play sniper


    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.

    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.

    Wagers matches are working as intended.

    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.

    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.

    Here's a quick test render i did.
    edit for proper youtube linking.
