So everyone knows sniping's largely a joke now, but even still, I love me some classic sniping action. So I've been hanging in there, doing decent, but still being frustrated on a regular basis due to the lack of what should be a lot of one shot one kills to the chest.
But then yesterday I discovered hardcore team deathmatch. I think I'm in love. Stuff that I shoot actually dies!
Oh and it's fun dealing with people that don't understand the camera spike:
gungame is the best thing they put into this game. now I have something to play when no one from PA is on. and after the patch I get host all the time. FIOS 25/25.
The problem is when people who are only average go for kills in objective games. People who get large k/ds are clearly helping, as is all those kills distributed over your team so pretty much everyone goes positive. Unlike Halo, it's quite difficult to win objective games in Blops with your whole team going negative (in general).
Meh. I don't see the big deal.
It's kind of what Scat does.
He farms kills while the rest of us are all rushing towards the objectives.
It works because compared to your average pub game we have more than 1-2 people trying to capture/hold objectives.
Are some of you seriously going to say killing 80 people isn't helping win a domination game?
Are some of you also HIGH?
If you can't recognise some good natured poking and teasing when someone brings out the epeen then you may be beyond helping.
Anyway, went back and gave pc a go. It seems to have reverted to almost pre patch state. The server browser which right after patch was working perfectly has gone back to being a mess and conversely my poor performance has improved back to where it was. So the net effect of that patch seems to have been fucking up the ambient sounds. I really have no idea what is going on with this damn game and it's bizzarely fluctuating performance, all I know is that silenced M14 on hardcore mode is the best thing ever.

They mis-stepped with the pro perks, seems by the time I'd be unlocking some of them I'd pretty much be prestiging right after so they seem pointless. And really they should all be based on general gameplay rather than any specific gametypes.
i dont have much of a problem with the pro perk system because for most perks i don't care about the pro version, and if i did, most are easy enough to grind out if you don't care about your k:d or win/loss for a few matches

Don't you get it, he's being edgy and cool because by having a shocking emblem it makes one pay attention to you usually when you would be ignored otherwise.
Kind of like if I put "Abortion LOL" as an emblem, you see...it's a social commentary.
I kinda miss how powerful the weapons were in MW2 compared to this game. The burst weapons were one-shot kills because they were burst, but if you missed you pretty much lost a 1v1 fight. Secondaries dont seem that great anymore and most of the time I end up using the enemies weapon(with his heart shaped aimer). I'm really glad they got rid of the massive explosions and the kill streak stacking.
It's also much harder to camp in this game which is nice and the maps are pretty solid, except cracked. Somethings they have to fix is the domination game mode spawning system. When you are losing a point and die trying to defend, you shouldn't be spawned all the way in the corner of the map spending what seems like an hour just to get back to the same area. One map that really cripples the other team is the map with the beach(I forget the name) and the B point is in some control room. Bascially if you got the estate spawn, you can easily defend B since the spawning system puts you right in the path of one of the choke points. Unlike spawning at the beach, in which case you can choose between taking the long path and the longer path. These kinds of things irk me when I notice them because it really starts becoming an uphill battle for one side and that's no fun.
I'm glad they finally got rid of stopping power/juggernaut, so you can actually mix up your load out and still produce good results. So far hardended pro seems to be my favorite since it helps you so much in face to face fights, add the Galil with that and you got a winning combo(until you get the commando at least).

So, even though I loathed MW2, I played this at a friends house, and it was only ok. However, it might be because we were playing splitscreen online, but do the graphics suck in Black-Ops more than MW2 now? And it probably wasn't his Tv, he had a big ass plasma screen which is a bit old, but not so much that it diminishes video quality.

The graphics are a little worse (doubly so in splitscreen) but it's nothing too major. In multiplayer the model textures are kinda low quality, but everyone's moving at 90mph shooting, you shouldn't be able to notice or care too much

I agree with everything but the bolded. I especially agree with the spoiler.
Camping in this seems so much worse than in MW2. I felt like people moved a lot more in the previous game. I find people sitting in the most random corners now, and just farming kills with ghost+silencer+claymore. And the silencer's either on a Galil or the AK74u. Not ragging on Ghost or anything, but just people sitting in a corner camping. I feel like it's been a lot worse.
If they're using ghost it means they don't have flak, which means you should be launching tubes in their vicinity.
Oh, believe me, once I know they're there they're getting stickied or grenaded, I just hate the initial surprise of "OHSHITINVISIBLEGUYCROUCHEDINADARKCORNER!"
My god! So awesome! Would it be in poor taste to copy a man's emblem?

Aggggggh. I'm running SAM turret, Care Package, and Sentry Gun. Sometimes, I have several of these stacked on top of one another, and I can't remember which one is next, or whether it's already been dropped.
That happens to me all the time Trippy. I've taken to just using them as I stack new ones, so I don't get confused. I normally have constant SAM coverage now, and some chokepoint covered with a turret. It feels good to make the other team worthless.
I'm enjoying uav/sam/napalm. It's a nice string of kill streaks, and if I switch to HL Pro that sam becomes a care package if aa isn't an issue at the time. I don't like focusing all of my streaks on kills, I feel it makes for a more versatile play of technically having 4 rewards.

Yeah. Tying perk unlocks to objectives/enemy actions was a very stupid design decision

like the tramp stamp
I don't know how many layers that is but those swish emblems could really add some detail to the butt cheeks.
i never tested but does it count when you kill someone in last stand with the flash alone
because that's a hobby of mine
Pretty sure it is actually. I remember completing either flash or conq when I didn't throw any grenades

That looks like mine, actually.
he's pretty easy to kill
especially with tomahawks

I hope not, because I shamelessly copied whoever had the Soviet fist bump earlier.
