Just call me in as always, LOUNE. I’ll try to book some XBox time tonight!
Sorry I missed your invite last night, at the time I was trying to both play and talk on the phone and neither was doing particularly well at the time. I ended up bailing on the game.
After comparing reviews, I selected the Wii version of Black Ops over the PC version. for christmas.
As a die-hard PC gamer, I am astonished by this development.
Does anyone have any good loadouts? I haven’t really been able to improve on the vanilla Assault kit for what I usually spend my time doing (covering fire for Domination and Headquarters).
Does anyone feel like a certain gun is overpowered?
Some comments:
-The campaign mode is incredibly engaging, I like the story and can’t wait to play another level.
-I like the maps being from different eras, reminds me of Timesplitters.
-The Zombie mode is ridiculous and makes no sense with the rest of the game, but I still really like it.
-I have no idea why programmers thought it’d be a good idea to allow swastika’s on gamer tags. Like prepubescent homophobic racists need help voicing their views.
-I wish there were more options with Barebones mode.
-That exploding car and twin gatling gun perk is absurd, but they’re nice addictions anyway.
-The lobby setup is still shit, and getting kicked or stalling irritates the hell out of me every 10 minutes or so.
What’s the assault kit? Light machine gun? If so, you need to switch that. They’re not too horrible, but they take forever to reload (you need to be rocking Sleight of Hand for your second perk) and they take forever to move around. You’re really much better with the assault rifle class.
Problem is, even if you’re using Sleight of Hand, you’re still all over the place because you can’t have Steady Aim, so you pick your poison.
M16, with it’s semi auto quick bursts I’ve killed 4 or 5 guys before without reloading. And I think the vanilla kit includes the Slight of Hand perk.
Ah. Yeah, the M16, you’ve really gotta hang back with. You can’t really run and gun much, or else you get severely outclassed by the AK74, the AK47, and the Commando. The M16 (and the G11) is pretty much a middle ground with assault rifle and sniper rifle so far as the game’s concerned. The M16 has great range, and I find that slapping a silencer on it helps to keep the gun on target a little better.
So you’re saying an AK47 would allow me a little more mobility?
Ha! I think that was me!
Very much so. The AK74 would give you even more.
It was. Nice window camping, by the way. We should play again soon.
Anyone else playing the PC version and finding multiplayer buggy as all get out? It freezes for me pretty regularly.
I know. I get a lot of crap for that, but I am absolutely unable to move and shoot at the same time. So I try to pick a defensive position and see how long I last before someone catches on and grenades me out.
Yes, it is extremely buggy. My understanding is that the developers are aware of this issue on the PC and are supposed to be coming out with a pretty big patch sometime in the near future to address it.
That’s funny. Probably not as much for you, or anyone that gets killed by you, but that’s still kinda funny. Call of Duty is very camper-friendly, so it’s a good game in which you can do it and get some kind of rewards.
Here is an interesting little moment I had last night in a Hardcore Team Deathmatch. It happened so fast when I was actually doing it that I had to go back and rewatch it in the theater. And yes - confirmed, I detonated, the guy was unharmed.
Last night in a Hardcore Team Deathmatch I was doing passably well (leading my team, scooped up a Mortar Team in a care package I called in)…and my teammates rewarded me by kicking me. Bastards :mad: Who came up with the idea of kicking your teammates without a vote?
id.
How do you get kicked without a vote?
Looks like Flak Jacket to me. It could handle that explosion.
