More for "Itsallwater" after our conversation last night but might be useful to other people on here - stuff about pro perks http://www.cod7blackops.com/perks/ and http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Perks To unlock pro perks you need to be using that perk and perform 3 'tasks' , these are usually 1 longish grindy thing , one shortish grindy thing and one 'special , and you dont need to do them in a single game (generally). Probably the easiest example of this is the the one for Ghost Pro Longish grindy thing : Shoot down 30 enemy killstreaks with any non-killstreak weapon. So you cant use your sam turret , but you need to take down 30 enemy things (spy planes / choppers) - easier when you hit level 30 for the 2 shot rocket launcher but do-able before that - I always shot these down anyway for the points but it is something you need to work through Shortish grindy thing : Kill 20 enemies while their Spy plane is active. Basically this one will happen without you doing anything else - just running round killing enemies and it will pop. Special : Destroy 1 Enemy Sentry Gun This is one you need to work at because sentry guns are not widely used (tip is to select a sentry gun for your own kill streak and call it in close to the enemies so one can take it) Once you have all of these , at the end of that match you'll be told you've unlocked the pro perk , you go to your classes and 'buy' the upgrade (you only need to buy it in one class and all are upgraded) to check how far along you are go into your classes , select the perk and hit X to see how much more you have to do. Just by having the perk selected some will pop for you pretty much without you doing anything else (for me that was Warlord - and i just needed to remember to knife a few people for lightweight to pop) , the only one i really 'work' on by playing a different game to pop each time is Marathon (you need to capture the enemies flag 15 times on CTF) Perk Slot 1 ZOMG Spoiler!

Forced update on this last night - nothing obviously different apart from the fact the store in multiplayer now has a 'new' tab next to it but nothing new to buy (i assume its ready for the map drop). BTW Nick , if you dont make it back soon i'm going to lap you (I'm up to 41 on the next one round vs your 44) |

Listening to Major Nelsons podcast this morning there were a few things on this : The update last week changed the way shotguns work with 2nd chance - if you shotgun someone they will *not* drop into 2nd chance but will die. The update also changed the way kills are credited for 2nd chance players - if you took them down you get the full kill (not the person who hits the killing blow). There was also a mention of tweaking damage for the AK74u Map pack comes out tomorrow - and there is a double XP weekend *this* weekend. Oh and I stumbled across another odd combination of skills which gives an interesting game , more about limiting the other team than what you can do but : Novagas Scavenger (pro) Warlord (pro) Tac mask Basically you start with 2 novagas (from the warlord) , and gain an extra one every time you walk over a body so you can just spray it everywhere - its amazing how many people dont seem to have a class set with a tac mask so they cant make it through the gas areas. I played a few games with it last night and had really high 'assist' numbers but not that great kill numbers - however on small-ish maps you basically block off entire routes to the enemies so it does help with defensive points. |

I find it really useful for stuff like this - when i get home i can just click the button to turn the Xbox on and leave it alone while i go and sort dinner and it will download stuff and it'll be all ready to go when i'm finished. (rather than get home , get logged in , start up the game or going into various menu's to find it) - the xbox.com integration is something which they have really improved over the last year or so. |

I liked what little of the new maps I played. Especially stadium. |

Post subject: | Re: Call of Duty : Black Ops |
Zaphod, that was awesome. The sexbox was happily chugged away downloading and all I did was walk in the door and press the button on the controller. I played a few games of CTF which is probably the best way to learn the new maps (You get killed a lot by the oncoming traffic or from angles you didn’t know existed and then swap over and then get exactly the same from the other way while you try to find the places the enemies were hiding the first time). Thankfully none of the maps are as meandering or boring as, say, “Strike” on MW2 but there is an awful lot of detail and different levels on the Chinese map “Howloon”, and the icy level, whose name I forget. I thought they might get boring but on both I ran into loads of people no matter which way I went. Plus the zipline on Howloon is great fun. But like any COD gamer knows, the best maps are the small ones and “Stadium” and “Berlin Wall” are two of the best maps. Stadium’s about the size of Scrapyard on MW2 and Berlin Wall a little smaller. I really enjoyed playing both maps, but they came up less frequently than the other two for me. Plus I still had to play through Nuketown and Jungle as there’s no separate playlist for the new maps. Tch. |

Post subject: | Re: Call of Duty : Black Ops |
Of the new ones I prefered the small maps so Stadium and Berlin wall (I tend to play Domination so you get an idea of just how small berlin wall is when your capturing points). The no 'new maps' mode is a pain , even if they did it as a mixed game mode with CTF / Deathmatch / Domination it would be better than randomly getting the old maps (or dropping into games with the old maps cause everyone has left for the new ones). The rooftops one is mad , it almost has too many snipe / ambush points but i guess you'll get used to which bits go where. The idea of destructable bridges in the Anartic base is good but again there seems a lot of high vantage points to snipe people from - thats one i can see getting better when you learn the ways around it. |

Post subject: | Re: Call of Duty : Black Ops |
For those who havent checked back there is now a 'first strike' option in the multiplayer section which allows you to just cycle round those maps. There are only 3 game modes (TDM / Domination / Search and Destroy(?) and no hardcore) but it does mean you can just play with the new maps. |

Actually, going by what happened last week when Craster tried to join our game, it is possible that it simply won't let someone play with us if they don't have the map pack. |

Post subject: | Re: Call of Duty : Black Ops |
I reckon they quickly patched the map pack, and that was the problem there. We all had the map pack, but slightly different versions. |

Post subject: | Re: Call of Duty : Black Ops |
KovacsC wrote: Any tips (so I don't have to read 30 pages) It really depends on your playstyle and what guns you get on with. I prefer the Assault Rifles so at the start I went with the Enfield (auto fire) unlocked at 5 put a red dot scope (or reflex scope) onto it and stuck with it until 20 for the Gallil (which i stick with pretty much to the end adding in the AK74 and the Commando when they are unlocked but thats a long way off). It would be worth picking up what guns are around the battlefield as you'll find a lot of gallil's / commando's / AK47's The other very popular gun is the AK74u (smg) which fires a million bullets and kicks all over the place (even with a grip) but because its an SMG you get the speed boost Also set up a class with a few perks your going to actually use and unlock the pro versions , Ghost is a good one to start with. I'd also suggest for the pro perks stuff to read this : viewtopic.php?p=514426#p514426 Which i put together recently when itsallwater started playing My preferred game is Domination , however Headquarters is good and at least has a hardcore mode. Oh and another tip at the start - take your secondary weapon and put the default rocket launcher on it. You can fire it at people (its slow but good for taking out snipey spots) , and when you hear the message "enemy spyplane" , or "They are blocking our rader" , get to somewhere you can look around , pull out the launcher and take out the spyplane (or anti-spy plane) you need to aim at it for a few seconds to get the 'locked tone' each one you take down is 150 xp I basically stick with that launcher till the 2 shot one is available (level 30) |

I find its the easiest of the 'early' guns - but thats partly because i like the full auto part - i know a number of others stick with the first gun and the 3 shot burst. At the start money is tight so you dont really want to be spending stuff you dont have to - so go scavenging on the battlefield for guns and see what you like (stand over a body or a gun and you'll get a prompt to hold X to swap it out) I'm almost back around to 1 again - and will probably click over tonight but my first purchases are normally enfield / red dot / ghost / steady aim / marathon / sticky bomb / claymore - and that will take a little while to mount up. Also when you unlock them kick of as many contracts as you can as they are generally easy to get especially the lower down ones - they give you XP , and cash and start counting up the number you've completed so that drops in other XP bonuses. |
