I still need to unlock the perk to do that although i do now have my main pro ones back (Lightweight / Warlord / Marathon / Ghost) after the prestige (and that was a week ago today and i'm already back into the mid 30's)

Last night I hit level 44 for the 2nd time and unlocked the Commando AR again - i'm about 3 'shared' care packages away from hardline pro and will have a look for others to unlock - i'm also a few 'throw enemys grenades' away from flak jacket pro which i've found is great for some of the akward domination points - you just throw smoke in and start capturing - the enemy lob grenades in but as long as they dont actually land on you you wont die ;-)

Cunning!
Must give that a go.

I've been enjoying having Hardline Pro and the SAM, Care Package and Sentry Gun as killstreaks - you stand a decent chance of getting the better rewards without needing to get loads of kills.

Anything other than the wager maps hold no value with me now. Which means the cod points have no value in unlocking stuff. Does still make 1000point wagers tense though.

For normal mulitplayer, MW and MW2 both surpass it but the inclusion split screen multiplayer means it's a keeper.

Post subject:  Re: Call of Duty : Black Ops

I don't understand how MW2 surpasses it for normal multiplayer? It's essentially the same game but with most if not all of the balancing issues sorted out. Also, the maps are better. The only problem is spawning next to an enemy, which I hope will be fixed at some point...

I'm looking at it and I cant see the point , the 2nd prestige doesnt open anything up - its 3rd time round for an extra class and X times round to unlock any of the other prestige play modes - given that i sat on level 70 of MW2 and never prestiged (though over a week of in game play) I dont think i'll be going above level 50 here - even with only a week to go back around.

I'll probably stick at 50 and go for the pro versions of each perk and a play around with the different guns

I've been playing Ass Crud and NFS! I'm not into the whole playing CODBLOPS every night thing. If I'm playing it and you lot are, I'll join in for sure! And I have done! I kinda used up my tolerance for dedicating my evenings to one game in the Counter-Strike days. I don't want to burn out my interest for it.

Quote:
Issues Addressed:

Resolved several issues with parties getting disbanded unexpectedly.
Updated handling for UPnP-enabled routers to improve matchmaking conditions where users had strict or moderate NAT types. Also added in-game communications so that all players are aware of their NAT type in the Player Match party lobby.
Addressed issue that prevented the "Load MP by Default" option from saving when other specific option combinations were set.
Prevention of exploit that allowed players to keep custom classes and killstreaks after prestige.
Addressed an issue where Flak Jacket Pro would not always protect against ground fires left by Napalm Strikes.
Prevention of users losing their killstreak reward when switching classes at the start of a new round in round-based game modes.
Addressed an issue where the incorrect perks would appear when spectating another player under certain circumstances.
Added round start explosive delay to China Lake grenade launcher to give it the same round start limitations as other explosives.
Contracts will now reset when the player Prestiges.
Prevention of Valkyrie rocket exploding upon release under rare conditions.
Prevention of Gunship failing to give player full control under rare conditions.
Prevention of an issue where a player will get teleported outside the map boundaries under very specific circumstances.
Additional security measures to enhance detection and banning capabilities.

Gameplay Tuning:

Limit the ability to re-roll supply drops using Hardline Pro to Care Packages only, no other killstreak drops.
Added a negative influencer to all spawn points to decrease the chances of spawning near an enemy. This will further improve spawning protection on top of previous updates.
Additional sound mix tuning for Ninja Pro users – increased ranges and volume of enemy footsteps, and removed player footstep sounds on concrete material types.
Increased headshot multipliers for sniper rifles. Sniper rifles with suppressors equipped will now always be ensured one-shot kill headshots.
Subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in.
Added a render delay to the red diamond player indicators that appear when controlling the Gunship, Valkyrie Rocket and Chopper Gunner. When a player first spawns, this will not appear for a period of time.
Additional minor reductions in knife lunge.

Aye, whilst I think the smaller maps of CODBLOPS are well designed the bigger ones are a bit pants. MW2s maps were maybe 30% funnerer.

That said the Wager maps are glorious and are wonderful because they are immune to grindy exp point gaming and are focused purely on fun and game mechanics. (Although, occasionally, if you really suck, you'll need to play some normal multiplayer to get points for you stake. But one level up of 2500 cod points is 250 games of wager.

Post subject:  Re: Call of Duty : Black Ops

After Nick's 81 kill game last night I realised that its not quite as easy to look at a table for scores / info on here as MW2 however my stats as they are right now :

Total play time 2 days 17 hours

Image

Most kills in a match 39

Image

Favourite weapon is still the Enfield

Image

However very closely followed by the Galil

Image

Basically I use the Enfield until the Galil is unlocked and use it until the Commando is available

Through normal play I unlock Lightweight pro / Warlord pro quickly ,Ghost pro typically waits on a sentry gun (although i fluked it quite quickly this time around and I'll follow the suggestion of giving my one to the enemy) and I have to faf about with CTF to get Marathon pro - the rest i dont bother with.

Normal setup is main AR gun (so Enfield / Galili / Commando) with red dot sight and either dual clips or extended clip , Lightweight / Warlord / Marathon with a launcher as secondary to take out spy planes and choppers , flashbangs (if warlord pro) or smoke + claymore and sticky grenade

A 'speed' class which swaps warlord for sleight of hand and has a pistol / SMG
A 'armour' class which has flack jacket / steady aim pro / 2nd chance with an LMG and smoke as a grenade (great for Headquarters or Domination because if you put smoke down the other side just grenade spam the point and you can sit there with your flack jacket all day to capture
A 'stealth' class with the silenced Galil , ghost pro / ninja / and any other perk

A 'hardline' class with Hardline as Perk 1

Kill streaks are 3 / 4 / 5 so spy plane / anti spy plane / care package

Post subject:  Re: Call of Duty : Black Ops

God knows what happened last night. But I was rather happy with my 81-20 :D And I still managed a fair few captures and defends on that round too. Gotta love the dogs.

my K/D is up to 1.42 now I think.

Usually use ak74u or now the ak47 with hardline or ghost, sleight of hand, and hacker/second chance/ marathon.

Killstreaks. Spy plane. Care package, Attack Chopper usually. Decided to switch the CP for the dogs and it turned out to work quite well for me recently.

Author:  zaphod79 [ Sat Dec 18, 2010 12:08 ]
Post subject:  Re: Call of Duty : Black Ops

Your stats from 'now' :

2 days 10 hours in game (and we have the same number of games won - just i have a pile more 'lost')

Image

Fav gun AK74u

Image

with a much larger 'drop' to the next gun the AK47 / Famas

Image

And your 81 kill best from last night

Post subject:  Re: Call of Duty : Black Ops

I almost exclusively use the M16 with silencer and RDS.

God, I've just spent half an hour watching CoD griefing videos. Some of them are so bloody funny:

American chap annoys English child by refusing to believe the game is called 'Call of Duty', and then misunderstands the point of the game. So funny, especially the bit with the containers.

And also:

British chap asks teammates how the knife function works... and proceeds to knife them all

I shouldn't like these so much...

From another forum :

Quote:
The Major Nelson podcast brings the first details of the initial, inevitable Call of Duty: Black Ops map pack. "First Strike" will be released on Xbox Live on February 1, 2011 -- as a timed exclusive, so give it about a month if you want it on another platform. The pack includes four competitive maps: "Discovery," based on the Reznov mission and taking place in an Antarctic research station; "Kowloon" set in, of course, Kowloon, this time on rooftops; "Berlin Wall," a fight at Checkpoint Charlie; and "Stadium," set in an American hockey rink. It also includes a Zombie map, "Ascension."

The DLC will sell for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15), the customary Call of Duty map pack price point.

I watched a video uploaded to the game last night of a guy playing Domination on Jungle. A pretty impressive 101-4 finish.
he used Dogs and Chopper gunner which helped but still pretty impressive to watch. interestingly though, not much of a team player, he never once attempted to capture any positions.

Typically me / Nick / Bobby / Riles / Curio will be on 'most' nights.

Tonight I've passed Nickachu on level for the first time (on this Prestige I'm now 41 and he's 38) , however I've also seen a new type of cheating which I've not encountered before - instead of just hacking the levels to get 15'th prestige for backgrounds and stuff they are unlocking the 'golden guns' (a particular type of camo which is not available until the end and costs a fortune) , the positive is that its bloody easy to see them (the gun almost glows in their hands) and I've been reporting the ones that I've played against - although these are also the people who seem to manage to hit dogs and hueys with their care packages so I'm not convinced that's the only cheating that's going on for them.

Oh and a few more details about the map pack which is only 2 weeks away :

Quote:
Available for Xbox 360 on Feb 1. More details to come for PS3 and PC.

First Strike contains 5 incredibly diverse maps spanning the globe; featuring 4 multiplayer maps and a new Zombie experience. Includes “Berlin Wall”, allowing combat on both sides of the imposing wall; “Discovery”, a desolate, frozen German outpost in the Arctic; “Kowloon”, battle in the rain along the rooftops of a towering Chinese sprawl; “Stadium”, an intense locale with a pro hockey arena backdrop; and “Ascension”, where you fight zombies in a Soviet launch facility.

Yip - last time i checked I was over 24 hours in game time above you for a very small increase in points (although for most of that you've been ahead of me on XP)

Reading the COD forums this morning it seems the golden guns glitch goes along with a few others which basically unlock all the guns and all the pro perks at any level - so level 2 people with commando's and all pro perks - it was 'released' on Friday so i guess they will be patching them soon.

No , you can still only do it in 30 second chunks , however you can upload it in two parts (and then download / join it / reupload it).

The longer ones seem to be people connecting the system to a recording device rather than using the in game theatre mode

Bollocks. I'll probably have to edit it in some way. There were 3 pretty nice kills. And now I've just had what felt like lagswitching done to me in a wager match and the same thing then happened in combat training. Like slowing down then being normal speed then slowing down again. Quite annoying.

Hard to prove , one thing to look at is the replays , I've only had one match which seemed odd like that - every time you approached the area with target the game became choppy and generally you died.

When looking back at it on in the theatre from their perspective you see me running in and basically stopping / stuttering - they shoot and kill me then it goes back to normal and they did it for most people on my team - its almost like Bullet time for them - it did seem to be a clan , but only 2 of them seemed to be affected so I just hit the report button and joined another lobby.
