[CoD Black Ops] News and Discussion

Jev/N

Two quick bits of info I picked up from some videos

Sleight of Hand isn't as fast ADS time as in MW2
Marathon doesn't allow you to sprint for an unlimited time

I had a drunken dream last night that I played Black Ops and went flawless in my first match ever and was like "OMG LOOK AT MY KD."

I wonder if you go X-0 in a match . IE Flawless, will it show the infinite sign ?
Things that make you go Hmmm

Having watched the gameplay videos I'm very excited by the prospect of playing the game but I'm still underwhelmed and unimpressed with the Remote Control car. It's far too gimmicky for me.

Concerning cheats / Console modding

So people will be able to report cheaters via the theatre mode and eventually it'll get patched?

They have one guy for that job? :eek:

looks good. but the r.c car might ruin it. it only takes 3 kills it will dictate the game especialy in search and destroy. i should be 4 or 5 killstreak if anything

i dont think it will, i reckon it'll be very underused, especially in deathmatch gametypes (Dom TDM Dem etc). It'll be something that people find fun for a week or so and then get very boring. You're almost better running around with a gun than using it by the looks of it, and you'll almost certainly get more kills running around.

I hope that is the case but i think lots of people will choose it just because its pretty simple to get and it has the potential to kill not like the spy plane . but i hope your right

good point, could ruin s&d

Jev/N

How could it ruin S&D? It might get one guy, after all most of the videos show it having a small blast radius. Also, you have to find that guy within a time limit. If you're starting off and having to drive it across the map, it mightn't make it to someone before blowing up.

It's like saying Claymores ruin S&D

Not to mention you're completely vulnerable while using it.

Claymores: cannot move; have lights sticking out of them; blast radius is one directional; easy to shoot with time.
I can see scenarios where a guy puts the RC car on an elevated area overlooking a planted bomb. A time limit could balance this.

The camera spike will ruin it worse tbh, everyone will plant them at the bomb sites making it impossible to plant without being seen

The RC car lasts about 20 seconds I think, during this time you have to control it, you can't just leave it somewhere waiting for somebody (AFAIK at the moment).

Regarding the camera spike, just flash it and knife it!

You'd swear these were big issues, minor at best, if at all!

YouSavedMyLife

Anyone else think the guns sound terrible? Like they dont have any meat to them. The only one i heard so far that sound decent is the AUG and the AK47 in the single player video that was leaked...

both the camera spike & decoy thingy are brutal ideas imo .

Lads are just going to camp with the camera spike at their back , theyre even more effective than a claymore . Why put them into the game ? theres already enough in it . Its just promoting camping ..........and it will make it impossible to flank if your an aggressive player

Hopefully cold blooded will work on the camera spike too, I'd say it will as it has thermal vision.

It's "Ghost" in the new game , it probably does going by the first multiplayer trailer. The guy who owns the camera shows as grey, as opposed to the first guy who entered the building glows white hot.

krudler

The camera spike doesnt bother me so much, its no different than a claymore or HBS or sentry gun, all easily dealt with

iMuse

Even with ghost on you will still be visible, its not too hard to see people with CB on when using a thermal scope in mw2. The reason i have a problem with it is that people will plant it near a bomb site and go camp at the spawn then the second they see anyone flashing/knifing it or going for the plant they will marathon and lightweight over there giving them an advantage of knowing roughly where you are. it wont matter so much in other game modes just S&D but id wait for the game to come out first before saying it will ruin it but HB sensors ruin S&D a little in mw2 because you basically have to use ninja on every class.

Can anyone confirm what game modes have been confirmed, eg Sab, S&D, CTF etc etc.

Hoping CTF is in.

ah fúck...I hope it's not as bad as COD:WaW...gun sounds were fúckin brutal in that game..It's one of the main reasons I only played it for a short while..even with the LMGs it sounded like I was throwing a tiddlywink at the enemy..

Agreed about the sounds of WAW ,apart from that and the annoying dogs its a decent game.
The weapon sounds in BO seem ok to me based on vids ive watched.

The guns in MW2 sound fantastic, especially the ACR, god I love that thing, just so chunky and satisfying when you empty a few rounds into someone

Kersmash

it sounds like a pea shooter with the silencer though!

You're Irish man, get with the times!

ACR is my fave AR after Famas and then the AK.


One good thing about BO for me is that I'm starting off on a level playing field with everyone on multiplayer. I only got Mw2 online in March after everyone pretty much knew the maps off by heart, the best guns, perks and killstreaks.

pfft, silencer, if you're gonna kill someone make it as loud as possible

The RPD with a silencer sounds class though.

Is it just me that the guns sound better through my headset? Maybe it's just my **** tv.

batm!ke

Is there a full list of the weapons out yet?
