100 for capping flag and 50 for kill.

Looks like I'll be going Rambo style onto the flags with my 870.

Do you need points for new weapons/ gadgets or is it done by level?

Yep, it's an unlock system. Ghost isn't unlocked until the last level which is good I think you get more points for objectives, attacking an objective and defending it. I think that's a great touch too.

Very impressed

You think it's good that you can be seen on the enemy map because knobs on your team keep dying and can't shoot straight?

New games still cost 70 here in Austria. The original Black ops was still retailing at 60 euro in one of the big electronics chains last week :eek:

Saw this in the IGN review:

Unlike previous games, after each of the 10 levels of Prestige you won’t have your stats reset, but instead continue your weapon experience and challenge progress and earn even more rewards. For starters you now get a token that allows you to unlock any item regardless of its level requirement, forever. In addition you also get a Prestige Token that nets you either an additional Create a Class slot, a refund on all unlock tokens you’ve spent during your progress to date, or the more traditional character wipe that resets all your stats. This completely changes my attitude towards Prestiging, and makes it something I actually want to do.

Didn't realise they changed up the prestige system!

No I think it's good that not every one will be running ghost and campers now can be seen. I never really use ghost so I like running and gunning and having a bit of craic..

Liking it so far. Most of the guns are decent enough, loving the tar. Maps are ok, most of them allow for a mixture of close quarters and long range gunfights. F**k loads of little rooms and hiding places though, some of them are very camper friendly. Fairly funny at first, me just wandering like a headless chicken. There's so many different routes in each map that it makes them seem huge, when they're actually not. I DID NOT appreciate getting a smack of an express train on that train station map, frighted the ****e out of me

Tried to use the 2nd unlocked sniper rifle, its good but it take much longer to aim down sights compared to MW3/2. Shotguns are shotguns, decent up close as long as you get your shot bang on. Assault rifles really suffer up close against SMG's, but I guess that's the way it should be. Recoil is virtually non existent in most cases, not sure if I like that or not.

Only used a couple of the kill streaks but they seem pretty fun to use, Haven't found myself dying to many of them, but I'm sure that will change Great the way you can change up your classes so much with the wildcards, almost fully customisable. Sometimes the hit detection seems a bit off, sometimes its fine, hopefully that will be sorted soon enough...or maybe its just my connection.

FYI, zombies is amazing. Just started playing it and I've never laughed so much, its a lot of fun. Took me long enough to get into a game though, maybe that's just my luck. Will be playing that for the next couple of hours. Perfect time to have a week off

No flags on player cards. Was looking forward to showing my Irish pride. Oh well, will have to use the Hardened Edition ones for now.

He means how much do you have to spend on the new PC.. what is your budget.

The guys over here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=842 build and spec new builds all the time.

If you have €500 they will tell you whats best.. if you have €1000 they will tell you whats best.

All depends on budget and what you want the PC for.

Spot on.

Apologies if that wasn't clear but as I was posting in a thread with the name of the game I assumed people knew what I was asking.
