I hate them I hate them. Whose stupid idea was it to put them in the game? I'm always running into a room with fire only to see no one there and getting blown up or shot. Tallon help me, what should I do?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAH

So, you're the kinda person that comes running into a room looking confused at the jumping fire cracker while I pick you off from a window near by?

I think it's class anyway

They're retarded. Especially in domination, I'm trying to capture a base, my teammates throw one and boom! enemy team all up in my ass.

Actually yeah, have to agree with that. A few of us running in a group, someone from the back throws one in the middle of us and it turns into a shiit storm in seconds. Defnitely has its disadvantages but funny when it works well.

Headshot · 12-11-2010 10:36PM

some times I just want to throw this game in the fire

just cant get a reasonable game going what so ever, either lag or ****e hosts

Nodferatu · 12-11-2010 10:43PM

i completed the game on hardened difficulty and i didn't get the gold 'master of black ops' trophy. its awarded for completing the game on hardened or veteran, has anyone else got this problem???
i didn't have to repeat a level on a lower difficulty at all, played same hardened difficulty the whole way through.

Your not alone mate. I've heard it's happened to quite a few people as well. I did it all on hardened except for that silly 'nam level.

The game can not be anything but laggy on PS3 and same from what I've seen from PC players. It's a royal screw up where the developers could only have thought about the Xbox as the platform.

Example - on PS3 you can join the game of a player you recently played with even if they're not on your friends list. This is a feature I've seen in Xbox titles, but never on the Playstation Network. So, just as MW2 crashed PSN when it reported the maps and modes you're friends are currently playing, I'd predict Black Ops is going to need PSN to give itself an overhaul at the back end in the near future.

Couple that with frame rate drops causing fps lag while the game stutters to re sync itself, and it's hard to guess how this game could be put in perfect working order. How can you patch an engine that can't keep up?

Has anyone seen a professional review that expressed any concerns about the issues people are experiencing?

Obviously, I am of course talking out of my arse and don't know the first thing about how this will be fixed, but for the time being it's not the host's fault alone if the game is lagged.

I'd like to extend thanks to people posting complaints in this thread. You guys are playing this so I don't have to. Hope the general mood picks up soon though so I can go back to playing it.

TBH I like this game more than MW2, I think the low user ratings on some sites (in contrast to high ones from critics) are from annoyed PC gamers spamming the XBOX 360 and PS3 rating polls. Possibly also from annoyed MW2 quickscopers.

I like how it's less of a "run and gun" game than MW2, you have to put more thought into your play than just try and come out on top in five 50-50 one-on-ones (or camp) then try and build your killstreaks up.

However, the SFX is too low, especially when there's a chopper above shooting at you, or an enemy in the next room firing his gun and you can barely hear it, if hear it at all. So it feels like I'm playing with the settings messed around in a bad way sound effects wise.

Also, you should only be able to play the same map twice in a row, then it shouldn't become an option. I swear if I have to play Nuketown five times in a row with it's insane "lets spawn an enemy right behind you all the time" spawn system again I'll go nuts.

Apart from that, I think it's a much more balanced game (on the XBOX 360 at least). I can understand PC users frustration from reports I'm hearing, and maybe even PS3 users too if the bugs are that bad. For XBOX 360 though, I can't think of anything truly buggy.

You sure? The sound changes I think. Sometimes it sounds like a handgun and other times a SMG or Assault Rifle.

I think they are good anyone...adds a new element to the game!

You shouldnt be running into a room where people are supposed to be firing for starters!!!

This decoy doesnt really bother me much, pretty easy to tell it apart from real fire!!!

They definitely sound different. They actually sound like the turrets in Portal. Plus they go off constantly as opposed to a gun which will be burst or single shot.

I've been playing it on Veteran, it took me about 2 - 3 hours to finish the Kwoloon mission alone because I played the entire thing dual wielding as well to get the achievement, forfeiting any long range weapons which would have really made so many sections so much easier - must have died 30 times at least. If I don't get the hardened/veteran achievement I'll be pretty peeved. Funny enough I didn't find any of the nam level hard, but Kwoloon was ridiculous. It's rather unbalanced, some levels are perfectly fine on Veteran, and others are so agonizingly painful.

One in the chamber,what a ****ing campfest,was playing on nuketown and lost my lives fairly quickly,watched the rest of the game through the remaining 5 lads views,first lad hiding behind a bed gun pointing at door,next 3 in a corner guns pointed at doors,next one in the flowerbed thing at the back of the map gun pointing at walkway,not one of them moved till the time ran out,why bother playing to do that

Dublindude69 · 13-11-2010 02:44AM

I find this kind of disgusting that you can sent out innocent little doggies out to kill your enemy. I think it's damaging to people playing the game as they will start trying to train their dogs to do this. It might have been great to have the nuke back instead I mean here is Nuketown afterall. I refuse to kill the little animals or use them and I think anyone that does has serious problems.

thenightrider · 13-11-2010 02:46AM

Its just a game FFS :rolleyes:

scudzilla · 13-11-2010 02:48AM

Christ, i'm glad he didn't post this in the Animals & Pets forum, the way things are going over there the game's developers would be burned at the stake

Eh this feature has been a part of COD since World at War two years ago.

If you're complaining about the fact that dogs are sent out to kill your enemy yet you don't complain about a nuke then you have your priorities messed up.

So from your complaint its ok to nuke the entire team or shoot people (akin to historical atrocities), yet you're complaining about dogs being sent out to kill.

For christs sake, get a grip.
