    SR71's should be 12 kilstreak minimum, I'd go as far as to make it a 15 killstreak but some might consider that a bit much.


    too easily countered for it to be a 15 KS. 10-11 is prob appropriate I'd say..

    Wtf is that yoke that your man places before the two guys and they just start going all weird? Too much technology ****e in it, was that the shagohad that came ouut of the crate? Pass...

    Tomohawk though so, maybe :D

    That's what it is. A sound board that focuses sound and hurts. It wasn't heat or pain being sent, though I suppose it could be a microwave weapon that wouldn't work as fast as directed sound devices.

    Just thought I'd let people know, a lot of people on the interwebs are now thinking that the gun sight that lets you see through walls is a pointstreak rather than an attachment you unlock.

    Another thing I'm really happy about too is that there is supposedly no aim assist on sniper rifles. Should get rid of the majority of quickscopers after they learn thats what was getting them the kills :)

    And, full MP reveal on Wednesday at Gamescom.

    Video description: Ballista with ironsights and lasersight for better hipfire. Perks - Ghost, Cold Blooded and Dead Silence. Secondary (not shown here) the Tac-45. Killstreaks acquired are UAV and Care Package. This was my first game of the night so my aim was off. Next three videos will blow your mind! Just played with the Mp7 for about 30 seconds. It feels very much like the one in MW3. The Ballista is just amazing. Cod2 feeling allover!

    Illuminating your teamplayer talking on the mini-map again I see, thank fook!

    Doesn't look to me like you have to equip the knife though...


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,407 ✭✭✭✭justsomebloke


    have to say it looks more like MW4 then BO2.

    And ye the knifing mechanics seem to be as screwed up as ever


  • Registered Users Posts: 53,836 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    That 2nd video is private for some reason....

    Really disappointing that it resembles so much like a MW game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,860 ✭✭✭FlyingIrishMan


    I've liked everything I've seen so far, maps look interesting.
    My one dislike is the gun sounds like everybody else.
    Whoever did the sounds on World at War should do it for this, they did an absolutely amazing job with sounds on that game.

    I really really like the feature that lets you livestream straight from your console without any extra hardware.

    I doubt that is the finished sound, it's like tin cans. Though in BLOPS 1 my favourite Gun sound was the Mac11 which literally sounded like a stone in a tin can :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,860 ✭✭✭FlyingIrishMan


    Is that a feature?
    The sound seems better compared to that reveal trailer.

    According to Gamespot it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQZ_5-SW4b0&feature=g-u-u

    Also a feature that lets someone commentate over your private match games.

    As I said to Kells on skype, I have mixed opinions, what I like the look of is

    • New UI
    • Looks
    • The Sound seems improved
    • Maps are okayish, that being said Nuketown 2025 will be good
    • Guns look decent so far
    • Emblem creation is back which I loved

    My problems from watching this are:
    • Knife is not a must-equip
    • Killstreaks look super over the top, flying RC-XD's for one
    • Guardian Killstreak looks like an annoyance, Seems like the Nova gas from BO1 with a super buff applied.

    "Target Finder — Sight which highlights enemies when they enter the field-of-view"

    ^ is just marksman from MW3 in scope form.

    Do you have to pre-order to get the new nuke-town map?

    I'm gonna do what I always do with CoD games and play it before I decide if I'm gonna throw a hissy-fit about it :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 53,836 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    I just spotted the perks

    618px-JeanLucPicardFacepalm.jpg

    I play block ops 1 alot these days because of nuketown but outside the map, its a
    bad game

    I miss playing cod on the ps3 but those ****ing idiots at treyarch keep ruining the game for me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭Creasy_bear


    sensor grenade.
    rc-xd
    hunter killer drone

    plus have I read it wrong.....you can have ghost/blind eye/cold blooded all together?

    not good.


  • Site Banned Posts: 26,456 ✭✭✭✭Nuri Sahin


    If I'm bored of other games, I might buy it 8 or so months after release.

    They, as in Treyarch, have caved in by the looks of that vid.

    Black ops was probably my favouirte cod but nuketown was a **** map, mostly **** players voted for it so they could get a few kills

    You dont play it on the pc, I guess

    Nuketown on the pc is a beast, try playing demo. Just unreal stuff


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,132 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Black Ops 2 now interests me once again. Respect to Treyarch.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,784 ✭✭✭AGB_Ghost


    I'm picking it up, no doubt due to Zombies and Campaign. Multiplayer, if It's crap well then I will always have Artorias of the Abyss, and Counter Strike: GO

    Xbox or PC?
    Considering Xbox gets DLC like two months earlier I'm leaning towards that.
