    im 26 years old, been playing games all my life, first the atari 5200 (not sure i got model name right), sega mega drive, snes, gameboy, ps1, ps2, psp, currently ps3, ov all the games i haven't been so excited about a computer game since maybe destruction derby on the playstation. i envy people getting to play black ops a week before release. i booked a day off work for this game & will be outside gamestop 9am on the dot to get my hardened edition. i don't ever buy special editions of games or prestige editions, like never, i don't generally believe they justify paying that much more for stuff but this one is the exception, this is call of duty black ops. and i cant wait, this will be the longest week ever.

    I'd swop with you if i could while i'm looking forward to it , because its treyarch i'm not expecting much.
    At 26 arent you a little young to remember the Atari ? lol

    Are you considering uploading a BOPS vid to your youtube channel? Don't they remove any videos that breach copyright / rules?

    well i LOVE WAW its in my machine 99% the time, i just like the game, i know alot of people complained about it being back in ww2 and found different things about it to complain about but i loved it, still play it everyday. nothing like setting betty and watching an enemy run into it and his 2 legs get blown off right in front of you. :)

    the atari well that was my brother owned that (it was the atari 7200 i played not the 5200). my bad, yes i was very young at the time but i remember thats the console i grew up playing first, he had the commodore 64 before that but i wasn't even born. old school games haha, asteroids was my fave.

    .

    Loved bouncing betties, even more satisfying than claymores. biggrin.gif
    I really liked WAW, still play it the odd time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,706 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    also liked WAW , played it alot before going back to mw1 just before the launch of mw2. it takes way more bullets to kill someone. but it seems from videos that BO's it will be more like mw2 in that it only takes a few bullets to kill someone.

    i hated the tanks though, i know it was only 3 maps with them, but very annoying.

    3 gs's in Limerick 2 of them are in shopping centres so i dont think they can have a midnight opening (i could be wrong)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,686 ✭✭✭Kersmash


    I asked on the official gamestop facebookpage and they said

    "All GameStop Stores in Ireland will be hosting a midnight launch for Call of Duty Black Ops!!! The Galway launch will take place in the Skeff Bar in Ayre Square - check in-stores for details!"

    just got off the phone and yes your right gamestop are having a midnight release for black ops.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭iMuse


    Got the game for 360 ;) Just finished the first mission and all i can say is that the violence is a step up, def 18 rated for a reason. If anyone has any questions fire away :)

    The dolphin dive to prone is a bit ridiculous, you actually go flying through the air over tables and everything, you can still drop shot while not running.

    Nuke town map in MP is a bit of a joke, its just a small town, the graphics remind me of toy story and you can shoot the arms off manequins that are everywhere :P Quite funny

    Gold camo is actually amazing looking, pity you need to go 14 prestiges to get it.

    The Decoy grenade is quite cool, it makes noise and puts a few random red dots of gunfire on the enemys radar spread out over 30 secs or so, good for distractions.

    The camera spike can be toggled with your radar on and off once you place it by pressing up on the dpad.

    More thoughts later :D

    hey iMuse, thanks for the info, can you tell me what way the currency works? can you buy any gun straight away or do you have to unlock at a certain level to be available to buy? thanks

    On their facebook, they said all, including any in shopping centres. I've to see if I can pre-order the hardened edition tomorrow. I wasn't looking forward to this game at all so I didn't bother but now I'm starting to feel it.:P
