Speaking of hacks and glitches.....is there a witch glitch/hack happening in black ops last few days ??? I've seen witch like behaviour a few times in the last few days

Witching was a glitch/thing in modern warfare 2 where guys would run around stabbing at high speed and seem to stab you from half a mile away.

No it was more than that. There was a glitch involved too until they fixed it. If you had a care package canister and carried that you could run at much higher speed than normal and stab from further away as a result. I've seen some stuff like this happen on Black Ops last few days - guys dissappearing and reappearing with a knife in your spine ....and so forth.

I was under the illusion that a witch was some1 with the marathon/lightweight/command combo (using a tactical knife)

Nah i think he means that lag switch thing, where people have a switch on there internet cable which interupts the signal for a second and they appear to be frozen for a split second on your screen then reappear 15ft away or behind you when they turn the switch on again. Nothing to do with blops as you can do it in every game.

I was accused of using a lag switch once by some retard in blops who obviously just sucked and was a sore loser!! haha!! had to ask what a lag switch was!!

Nuri Sahin

Witching is M / L / C combo, yes.

namelessguy

I need to rant.

Twice in one round (mercenary team deathmatch) I got a care package and sentry gun. Twice. Each time I waited until I was back with the group before calling them in. Twice. Both times the rest of the ****ers ran off left me their on my own upon which the entirety of the enemy team come, kill me and take the packages. Twice.

I lost 2* sentry guns, 1* AC31 and 1* Chopper Gunner.

And those aholes were surprised when we lost the match.

papajimsmooth

There was also the mailman, where you used the standard witch setup but carried your care package grenade which caused you to run at faster speeds. Lightweight makes you run at 110% and the care package increased your speed by 20% so you could run at 132% of normal speed.

I thought they patched that did they not?

papajimsmooth

Yeah after a good while

I said before, during and post release I'd give it a couple of months before giving a concrete opinion of COD Black Ops, instead of chopping and changing my opinion like some 10 year old at the toy store, which IMO quite a few have done that. Those who stuck with their original, fair enough and I respect you for that even if I think it was rash. Also before anyone says I told you well, again read the first sentence and grow up. I stuck to me word

Right so.

I feel nothing for Black Ops. Nothing. It is the same empty, soulless feeling I got from playing Modern Warfare 2. Despite the ****ed up glitch, hacking, boosting mess that COD4 has now turned into.. I rather play COD4 over either Treyarch and Infinity Ward's last game. I actually enjoyed myself despite the mess earlier yesterday playing COD4.

Treyarch took the piss out of those who play on PS3. Infinity Ward to their credit were not cretinous to port such a fail onto my system of choice. The game is broken on so many basic levels it's beyond the point of laughing. Turning on Black Ops is a chore almost, one that I rather be without in regards to multiplayer. Not going to go into detail as everything has already been covered in the past and simply I cannot be arsed recycling those comments again, be it said by others or myself. I'll just question one thing. They wanted balance. But the added 2nd Chance and RC Cars, the latter a 2/3 killstreak As Cartman said many a time in one episode, the fcuk!?

Single player. Well the whole Sleeper Agent malark was fairly obvious in the beginning and most of the missions bar the Prison Break(excellently done) were fairly 'meh'. Single player in short has been cack since COD4 but MW2's SP was better than BOPs for me and I wasn't overly keen on it when playing MW2.

Zombies, well I don't get the fascination of it. It's all bit over hyped by those who love it and underrated by those who don't like it. It was fun at the beginning, especially on Kino but my interested faded fairy quickly. Five is :mad:

Positives very briefly:

• Wager Matches - I throughly enjoy near everything about it. It's short, mostly aggressive players succeed and is usually very exciting win or lose. One in the Chamber can be unpleasant at times to play as the host near 90% of the time wins in my experience wins and campers love to play it. That's no Treyarch's fault though.

• Dead Ops - equivalent of Smash TV from my SNES days, a game that me, my brothers and friends around to the El Loco household loved to play it.

• Emblem Creator is great even if it was littered with a lot of penises. Hahahahahahah knobs :rolleyes:

• I - L - Summit.

• Combat Record is fairly epic.

__

So overall while it's not a bad game, it's not a great game. Much like MW2. I'am probably burned out on the game/series once again tbh. Usually happens around this time every year, well except for COD4 which it took me well over a year to get tired of :pac:

hypermuse

pretty comprehensive synopsis there Ade..

Have to agree on most angles but cant saw I've ever played COD4.

Favourite thing bout Blops has to be the wager matches!!! so epic!! but as for the rest.. I like it but has way to many holes in it to love it!

RC-XD is the bane of this game for me with respect to killsteaks! Think blackbird is excellent thou!

Magill

I really enjoy it tbh, i wouldnt say its a great game or anything but when i turn on my PS3 theres only one game going on atm and thats blops so im not close to becoming bored with it, i think its because i play it in moderation (Only because of exams ). Its a real shame the PS3 version is so poor compared to the 360. I still think its a far better game than MW2, mainly because of it being alot more balanced... still not a patch on the king of online shooters tho(No cod game is).

Hi all

I was thinking of buying a ps3 for multiplayer blops etc, but Im wondering if I would be better off saving my cash and just playing it on my pc.

I love the multi player thing and have been getting some ok kdr's on my mates machine and think its time I got my own profile going.

Im using vodafone mobile lite and Im living in the country so the signal can be a bit up and down and would hate to pay 300 euros just to have my head wrecked...do you need a realy good signal.

also not keen on having to route a ps3 through my pc.

what is the online community like with pc.

whats it like playing with a keyboard online ?

Pete

Useful tidbits!:
- The M16 is the only weapon whose centertime is increased with the addition of an ACOG or IR scope, which decreases recoil.
- The M14 & FN FAL will jam if fired too quickly. Although it jams in order to prevent the use of modded controllers, players with a fast finger will find this annoying.
- When the user rapidly fires the FN FAL there is no delay between mutiple shots, unlike the M14, which has this delay.
- The Kiparis has a much higher bullet penetration than a normal Submachine Gun.
- Though almost without notice, the SUSAT (ACOG) scope and Variable Scope increase accuracy for "quickscoping".
- The PSG1's stomach hit multiplier grants a 1hit kill if NO attachments are put on.
- In the DS version, the player can make the Stakeout semi-auto by mashing the fire button.
- Grip on the stakeout increases its RPM.
- The supressor on a Spas-12 brings about no penalties.
- Dual Pythons grant a free speed loader
- The Full Auto attachment on the CZ75 decreases damage by 25%
- When the suppressed CZ75 is paired with the suppressed PSG1, the CZ75 loses its suppressor.
- When using the Makarov and Second Chance on the DS version, you will drop down with a free supressor.
- For the first 15 seconds of a match, any grenades from a grenade launcher will never explode.
- When using the Ballistic knife, the player has to pull a pin the first time he switches to it. It's useful to 'prime' it for a quicker swap by switching when you spawn, getting the pin out, then proceeding as normal.
- The Ballistic Knife's "long shot" range is significantly shorter than anything else in the game, allowing for a pretty easy time getting them for challenges and contracts.
- If the player fires the ballistic knife into an enemy's gun, it will count as a headshot.
- When a player is directly impacted with a frag to the chest, the frag will be lodged into the enemy's chest, inflicting multiple impact damages until death.
- It is possible to kill two enemies with one Tomahawk if it skims the backs of the enemies.
- The tomahawk is capable of taking down killstreaks.
- Water will negate any equipment and tactical grenade.
- The Camera Spike is not included in the Wii version of Black Ops.
- The Camera Spike cannot be used in Split-Screen mode, both offline and online.
- You can plant friendly C4 on a friendly RC car. Using communication, the driver of the RC can tell the C4 user when to detonate the C4, saving the car and allowing the car user to carry on and find another target.
- The Flamethrower attachment is not available on the Wii due to large amounts of lag occurring when it is used.
- Unlike previous titles, you will not feel the affects of tactical grenades while operating killstreaks.
- While in Second Chance, you can not go downstairs. You can, however, go upstairs.
- You can still survive any fall damage by landing on (Or moderately close to) another player.
- Apparently you can no longer kill yourself with a Tomahawk. I've seen it happen in someone's fileshare before, but it may have been patched.


Useless tidbits!:
- The Enfield is one of the few weapons that is reloaded with the player's right hand.
- Below the iron sights on the FAMAS, the player can see 'IIIARC' engraved into the gun. A reference to Treyarch.
- Israel is misspelled "Isreal" on the side of the Galil.
- The ACOG scope is replaced with the Swarovski Scope on the AUG.
- For the AUG, there is a glitch when the player uses Red Dot Sight attachment. The Red Dot Sight will look unconnected to the gun, and hover above the gun.
- Emblems on the FAL appear 'backwards" or as a mirror image of the emblem.
- There are only 3 guns with square Red Dot Sights. The AK74u, AK47, and RPK.
- The G11 does not drop bullet cases when fired because it uses caseless ammunition.
- The AK74u uses a unique grenade launcher, the Tishina.
- The PM63 is uniquely named "PM63 Folding Stock" in game when equipped with the Grip attachment.
- "Kiparis" means "Cypress" in Russian.
- The MPL, along with the PM63, are the only firearms where you can see the emblem while in ADS.
- Unique to the RPK, the player actually throws the magazine up and catches it to reload.
- When extended mags are equipped to the M60, it is re-named "M60 Big Ammo"
- An M60 with Red Dot Sight will erroneously be named M60 Reflex .
- The Stoner63 is the only LMG without a Bipod.
- On shells ejected from the Olympia, the word SPICY 3" appears
- The Stakeout, Spas-12, and Olympia all gain golden shells when using golden camo. However, the shells will be ejected red (Unique to Stakeout).
- The SPAS-12 is reloaded with the left hand, whereas in Modern Warfare 2, the SPAS-12 is reloaded with the right hand.
- The 'snub nose' attachment for the Python isn't an attachment; it's a detachment.
- The Python is capable of some element of gore. It can decapitate and 'Gib' an opponent.
- The M1911 Dual Wield has a unique draw and empty reload animation; where it spins like the Model 1887 but only to reload.
- Posters detailing the specifications of the Makarov can be found in the Modern Warfare 2 map Salvage.
- "Strela" means "arrow" in Russian.
- On the Wii version the Crossbow can be tilted sideways, making it look like a bow & arrow.
- If an empty Crossbow is switched to, it will load a 'phantom' arrow.
- The Semtex is labeled as C4
- The Tomahawk will never stick in a wall or ceiling.
- On the side of the box near the bottom of the camera, the word 'KampTek' is written. Get it? For campers. >.>
- A Treyarch logo can be seen on the label of the Tactical Insertion while prepping it.
- If a claymore is planted while a host change occurs, after it detonates the lasers remain.
- On the Wii version of Call of Duty: Black Ops, the color of the dot cannot be changed.
- When attached to Russian weapons (AK47, 74u, RPK, Dragunov), the reticle changes. Russian version uses a -^-, other use _._
- The ammo box for the Chopper Gunner displays "TR3Y ARCH"
- Spy Planes fly Clockwise around the map and Counter-Spy Planes Fly Counter-Clockwise.
-


General Facts!:

- Enfield has SMG ADS speed (0.2 seconds)
- MPL and Kiparis have Assault Rifle ADS speed (0.25 seconds)
- Kiparis has Assault Rifle bullet penetration
- Stakeout has the tightest hip fire spread amongst the Shotguns
- ADSing with Shotguns tightens the buckshot spread to beyond hip fire spread, unless Steady Aim is used
- Buckshot spread with Shotguns does not widen when moving whilst in ADS
- Attaching the Grip to the Stakeout increases the maximum RPM, allowing you to to shoot up to an extra 17 rounds in a minute
- Attaching the Dual Wield to the HS-10 not only widens the hip fire spread dramatically, but also decreases the range of maximum damage for the HS-10 AND decreases the range in which the HS-10 can damage by 2.5 metres
- Stoner 63 has Assault Rifle ADS speed, NOT LMG ADS speed
- L96A1 has a x1.5 multiplier to the biceps, no other sniper has this multiplier
- Python has a tigther hip fire spread than the other Pistols
- Attaching the Full-Auto Upgrade to the CZ75 gives it a RPM of 535, slower than its maximum RPM when fired semi automatically at 625
- The Flamethrower attachment has a similar range to shotguns
- Flak Jacket in Hardcore multiplies explosive damage by x0.09, as opposed to x0.35 in Core
- Flak Jacket Pro DOES NOT make you immune to fire damage, it only multiplies fire damage by x0.05
- The Spy Plane lasts for 40 seconds, not 30
- The Counter Spy Plane lasts for 30 seconds
- The weapons with the highest DPS are as follows: M60, Skorpion, ASP, then Stoner63.
- Flak Jacket, without any prior damage, can fully protect you from any non-killstreak explosives.
- Flak Jacket Pro can fully absorb a Napalm strike directly on the player, including residual fire afterward.
- The Gunship's rockets, as well as Valkyrie Rockets, are incapable of getting a hitmarker, barring Second Chance invulnerability and Flak Jacket.
- Spy Planes are only viewable by the enemy for 62.5% of their time active.
- Supressors do not affect recoil. They only reduce range at which you're doing the most damage possible. Essentially lowering damage.

The tomahawk is capable of taking down killstreaks.

Im gonna take down a chopper gunner with one

Nice work!

I know this may have been asked earlier but how do you play split screen offline as it says the other players must sign in. There is a wlan wifi network but can't sign in to psn as it is blocked... Is there any way to get around this?

GBX

Gave the game a break there for a while. Was playing the other evening and got napalmed on Nuketown.. when I respawned my gun had flames coming out sideways. Still fired as normal.

Screw respawning, I fight straight from hell!

Wished they introduced some new game types, or at least brought back Mosh Pit and 3rd Person mode(I'm fairly sure I'm the only one who loved it from the lads I play with :pac:). Somewhat boring. Not the game, just the same ol game types.

How does ops perform on a pc and are the servers good ?

Not sure I think it says press X to sign in though.

Played a game of demolition earlier on nuketown,was trying to defuse the bomb with a few seconds left,just as the clock hit zero I defused it but the bomb site blew up all the same.
Anyway it was just weird that for the rest of the round I could see guys planting at a already blow up bomb site.

Kells...

Any chance its in theatre and you could upload it to here?
