I never play domination. Some times a quickscoper wins ffa, but so do plenty of other methods of play. The reason I don't like it is because its ridiculous seeing someone run around with a 50 caliber sniper rifle like its a hand gun

You realise its a bloody game ?!?!?!?!? What about LMG's, is that ridiculous too ? And what has quickscoping got to do with that... even if you couldn't quickscope you could still run round like its a handgun.

And shame on you if a quickscoper beats you in a FFA....

LMG's can be carried and fired like in the game. And you move very slow with them in the too. Obviously the game won't be 100% accurate, but its good to see them get rid of things like this that are ridiculously over the top like quickscoping

What are my chances of getting the Hardened version on release day without a pre-order?

Kersmash · 27-10-2010 01:39PM

I'd imagine not very likely. My friends been trying to preorder one for the past few days and everywhere is booked out, he'd to order it online.

Ah balls. Was hoping I could have got it in Tesco

Do you know where he ordered it from by any chance?

Kersmash · 27-10-2010 02:10PM

Amazon I think? Not entirely sure, I'll ask him later.

iMuse · 27-10-2010 02:20PM

LOL Eh, Why? It takes one shot and your dead, I know three or four people who've gotten nuke easy just quickscoping.. You know some people are just really really good at it. No shame in being beat by them.

their not working because youtube keeps taking them down, they are quite quick to take down video's uploaded that arent supposed to be there. treyarch are trying to keep zombies a big secret. i saw some footage on a vid before it was taken down and it looks like same as WAW you play as same characters same perks, some new shinier guys, but im sure there is some big surprise awaiting otherwise why the big secret on zombies right!!!!

13 days left

...unless you work in gamestop you get games a week or 2 before anyone else does.

In no way is quick scoping easy, I can't imagine anyone who would think that, Yeah sure you might get few nice kills, But you will die easier in most cases, After i started quick scoping i learn that i was able to aim every gun better.

Just like everything in the game, A glitch is patched out, except T.I god know why. If there is something wrong they will fix it. Quick scoping isn't a glitch, Its an ability, Sure you can't do it in real life, But in real life you can't survive getting shot with 10 bullets.

Also if everyone could do it and it was alot easier then say using an assualt rife, Then how come everyone isn't doing it.

I see people using any advantage they can get, Why wouldn't they use this one.

Also it was Jd_2020 that called it cheap, considering he didnt make the game, and is works for treyarch.

There are tons of things in mw2 that caused problems, Quickscoping is the least in my books, Everyone i hear complain about it, Can't do it. Its not a simple task and i does look better then drop shooting someone.

well then dont play black ops, stick to mw2 and your community of quick scoping friends, as he said their is a far larger community of people who find it annoying than there is people who like quick scoping. obviously they took out quick scoping for a reason. i find it annoying and cheap as he said. just my opinion on the matter.

Creasy_bear · 27-10-2010 08:05PM

I recently read somewhere that mw2 is/was extremely hard on your disk drive!

Does anyone know if black ops will be the same?

Im sorry but you've been able to quickscope since cod 1, its just never been as easy as it is in mw2.... most of the whiners and people that dont want it in the game can't do it effectively, therefore it makes them mad. Trust me.. they wont nerf quickscoping as much as they say, if they do they'll realise how underpowered snipers are and will have to change it again. Most of the mw2 community are "noobs" in fairness... they wouldn't have a clue what a balanced game was if you wrote a book about it.

JonnyM · 27-10-2010 08:31PM

is quick scoping the abillity to kill an opponant using a sniper rifle but not actually looking thru the scope but bringing it up and thus killing them before you look thru it??

not really, sometimes it looks like that in killcams, but thats usually because of latency. Usually to be accurate you have to zoom in and shoot as soon as possible, you'll barely see the scope, but if you slow it down you can.

Some "Little-Known Facts about Black Ops" confirmed by JD_2020

-Multiplayer Online Split-Screen - sounds very cool, connect a 2nd controller and bring online a guest or a second psn account like you're playing on 2 different consoles.

-Custom Games Editor - making private matches highly customizable down to options like pistol only matchs.

-Regional/local matchmaking is an option - ability to specify whether you want to match with players from other regions or only those local to you.

ReacherCreature · 27-10-2010 09:52PM

Any form of SpecOps in this? They were a fantastic element in MW2.

that sounds awesome, any idea how "Local" you can go ? I doubt its as local as 50-100 miles ?

KamiKazi · 27-10-2010 10:10PM

Pre-ordered a copy in Game Liffey Valley this evening, can't pre-order the hardened edition though.

Guess I'll just buy the maps online.

It's such a shame they(IW) dropped the ball with Spec Ops. I so hoped there would be downloadable maps/missions but alas it weren't to be.

Thinking back over the last year. That was the most fun element for me. Staying up all night completing that with one of my best mates and finishing High Explosive legit on veteran after 5000k(ok -4950 or around that) attempts.

The one on Estate was fairly rough alright. The panic and laughter the first time when we were 1st introduced to the Juggernauts :pac:

Love the reverse of the map in Cherbonyl from COD4 too. Only negative was the last mission which was very underwhelming. We plan on doing a Spec Ops session sometime next week, call it the final curtain in the game

ReacherCreature · 27-10-2010 10:27PM

Such a shame! The estate mission is one of the better ones indeed. Although I've a love for 'Homeland Security', completing that with my brother as we were overwhelmed by enemies was an utterly compelling mission. The adrenaline! I'm not ashamed to admit.

Very true, its so much easier to keep interest if theres a few irish in a lobby!

I'm particularly liking the online splitscreen. Will be cool for having the lads over who have the game but don't have internet access

It'll be really good for defending you when you have chopper, the person with you knows exactly where you are, and to defend you.

let's just hope its not abused by boosters!

They should make it that you can only play together if you're with 2 people.
