Youtube are incredibly fast at taking down these videos. I was just watching 10 minute video of Nazi Zombies that was uploaded 31 minutes ago and it's already just been pulled.

Thats a bit of an overreaction, there is far worse things in MW2 that quick scoping(qs), OMA, Noob tubers, commando, boosters, host migration, campers, everyone of these are ten times worse that qs.

The good thing about qs is they are more likely to move around than to stay in one place so you have a better chance of killing them. I bet there will be people complaing about snipers in BO because they are caming.

Glad to see nazi zombies is coming with the game, I thought they might have tried to screw us and put it as DLC.

The more i see of the game, the more i realise how much more online content there will be in the game compared to mw2.

-The new gametypes - These will be awesome i reckon, cant wait.
-Wager mode to keep things spicey in FFA.
-Killstreaks don't look nearly as overpowered as in MW2, doubt we'll be seeing as many insane scores.
-Zombies look great, never really played the orginal so it'll be totally new for me.
-Contracts and the money system will make leveling alot more interesting and fun i reckon
-No stopping power will reward those that can actually aim and not get one lucky bullet while they emply a clip into the ground.
-Maps look alot more versatile than in mw2, that jungle map looked great imo...
-Snipers look good too, the AWP is the daddy.
-Theatre mode


The killstreaks could go either way, it'll either make lesser skilled players camp harder because its harder to get the high killstreaks or they'll stick with low killstreaks and not camp half as much.

Seems like its going to reward better players over those that can play all day every day, much better.

They're introducing time challenges that reward XP / CoD points. Also someone mentioned a rumour that prestige is based on in-game time in BO rather than xp.

yeah, time challenges = contracts i believe ? Hope they have ones that are actually hard to do and not just wee ****ty ones like get 20 kills with 'Insert gun' in a 30 minutes or something.

It'd be interesting to see what they can come up with that wont be like that. Maybe something like try to get a certain amount of headshots in a row or something.

That ^, but I also mean say play for 5 days total or whatever iirc. Then again I could be completely wrong.

They could play it, but Jtags only last 4 hours or so on live before being banned.

As for challenges id say there will be some hard ones to do within a time limit like "enemy of the state" (3 man clutch in s&d) in mw2, its not something you plan on doing and just happens randomly.

4 hours up to 7 days , i know a few people with jtags (mainly yanks), the earliest any of them has been banned was on the second day.

Nodferatu

Hardened Pro: Bullets do extra damage to aircraft and turrets. Reduced flinch when you are shot.

Basically stopping power pro from mw2

That's disappointing. I was hopping for a War game mode, and a map similar to MW2's wasteland. Hell I'm still getting it, and looking forward to doing so.

Cod will never be perfect without dedicated servers for consoles

Nice to see they took onboard my suggestion of the grid coordinates :cool:

Want a suggestion from the fans? Dedicated Servers :mad:

I have my controller set up as tacital. Its great for standing behind cover and ducking when the bullets start flying. I dropshot sometimes. I dont do it for every kill. People are also pissed off if you jump and shoot them, so what am I suppose to do? Stand still? And if im behind cover im a camper ha. Just feels more comfortable. Anyone see the official BO madkats controllers? You can remap the buttons. So if you had one of them you could set it up for tacital. Would that be cheating? Also they have black ops glasses anti fatigue for €50:)

Drop shotting is a pain in the hole, especially in competitive matches. It doesnt anoy me as much in public play because there isnt an awful lot of people that do it. With the hosting situation, even on a 4 bar connection there is still a 100ms latency, the whole idea of drop shotting is to make yourself unhittable for that split second your dropping (And ofc the smaller target when your on the floor). It doesnt take skill, just requires you to use a different setup. I sometimes drop shot, even tho im using the standard layout, but i'd much rather it not be in the game.
