HS I've always noticed this in a lot of players(Ken Burton I'm looking at you!) but the angle you placed your claymore is what cost you. Place it a little back and a little towards the center of the room and he's dead.

Since he was sprinting he was 9/10 at the very least going to avoid being killed.

I had a great game of dom earlier and went to see if I could put it in my theater and it wasn't there:mad:

thanks ade for that advice, I thought you couldnt just run through the claymore like that but the angle was probably on his side

Raze_them_all · 03-12-2010 06:13PM

Just going to mention the angle, the spread on the claymores is actually quite large, I usually have mine aiming outfrom the door towards a wall

GEasy · 03-12-2010 06:21PM

Fook sake! two chopper gunners , 2 different games, host quits twice and ps3 freezes.. . oh my :rolleyes:

Risteard · 03-12-2010 06:40PM

Yeah last night I was playing CTF and they had set a claymore at the flag which I didn't see. I ran over it and heard it explode. No damage whatsoever, not even red screen.

The only explanation I could come up with was that my team mate that was there shot it as I ran over it.

Though then there are other times when Claymores kill me from about 5 feet away.:mad:

greenman09 · 03-12-2010 11:08PM

playing this nw for bout 2 weeks. game does not compare to MW2 in relation to MP. lag issues. disconnections. host migration is pants. not too fond of the guns. prob my fault at not choosing the right guns for classes. the feeling of being 1 secind in gameplay behind everyone else is very frustrating when playing. gonn a go back to MW2 for a while to see if get appetite back for black ops. on the plus side single player is good and fun

I never leave claymores right inside doors as people spot them too easily, leave them a few feet back with the laser pointing towards the door and they're gonna get you a kill as people dont have time to stop running before they realise

krudler · 04-12-2010 03:46PM

I think I'm starting to get bored of BO already, and I know the reason, its simply not as much fun as MW2 was. in MW2 there was so much going on around the map at once, it was chaos from start to finish, now I'm playing games where there isnt a kill until a minute into a match like this morning.
I'm still torn about the killstreaks not building on each other, yeah its stopped people getting a predator then harrier/pavelow and dominating the game, but those were little challenges to overcome, now theres a chopper up and it may never even fly near you, ghost isnt even necessary.
Also now you have people camping to get rc-xds and care packages. getting big streaks like choppers and gunships doesnt feel like much of an achievement as with 5 kills with hardline you have 4 chances to get one of them from heli dropped streaks with hardline pro, so why bother going for the big ones? I mean I've gotten choppers and dogs through streaks rather than packages but it still felt like more of an achievement to get them in MW2 for some strange reason, even though the pred/harrier combo did most of the work.

Meh, will give it another while but I can see myself going back to MW2 before long, which I never thought I'd hear myself say in the run up to BO due to all the bullsh1t going on with MW2, sure it was loud, glitchy, people were dicks, it was unbalanced, full of ridiculous perks and guns but at least it wasnt dull, which BO is in a lot of ways.

Headshot · 04-12-2010 04:30PM

Its getting boring at this stage alright

everyone using the same weapons all the time and the bugs are ****ing ridiculous

I went online there to play some games with ade and he had a right good score in the havana map but got kicked and the same thing in the next map

This game is its own worse enemy

My thoughts exactly,especially the noise point,it's like what you see on your screen is all that's going on in black ops,the craziness in the background of mw2 gave a bit of atmosphere,there can be a full on shootout a few yards behind you in this and half the time you wouldn't even realise

Thats the thing, in MW2 you felt like it was a full scale battle you were in as there was explosions going off everywhere, in this is like BB guns hitting tin cans, ping ping ping all over the map, the sounds of the choppers overhead is an absolute joke, its a quiet hum as opposed to the chopper or ac-130 in MW2, the sound effects in that were amazing compared to this

Josey Wales · 04-12-2010 05:43PM

I've only just started playing the multiplayer in the last few days but I have found it incredibly unstable. I'm playing on the PS3. I'd say I only get to finish 3 out of 5 games before the connection is lost.

It was never this way with MW2.

theothers108 · 04-12-2010 06:03PM

ffs trying to get into a game the last hour ,then in a game "lost connection bull**** again and again

krudler · 04-12-2010 06:09PM

come back to MW2, everyone has 3-4 bar connections minimum, and its gooood

its actually ****e, i have to load up mw2 every so often to open my nat (Dont ask !). Those 2 or 3 minutes are usually filled with noobtubes and overpowered airsupport... awful.

TiGeR KiNgS · 04-12-2010 09:54PM

MW 2 is the worst game I have ever played! (that includes all recent sonic games)

I would rather eat dog food than play that bastard of a game.

I've quit playing and gone back to BC2. I wasn't expecting much from Bo, just some shallow fun, but I'm still disappointed overall.

The maps are uninspired for the most part. They all follow the same basic design, an inner ring and an outer ring, mostly small passages/corridors and small building and rooms with the same 2 exits at right angles. None of them have any real character to them.

A comparison to BC2 isn't completely valid, they're different games, but they still share some similar issues. In BC2 there's no bunny hopping or dolphin diving, yet Treyarch were brazen enough to introduce dolphin diving and claimed it was a feature, and not the exploit it had been regarded as for years elsewhere. BC2 simply remove prone and no-one regrets it.

The objective modes are still frustrating, since so many players ignore them in search of needless kills. There's also still the issue of the objective modes potentially punishing people for actually taking the objectives such as in domination.

Then there's prestige mode:

as a result of the increased emphasis on prestiging, levels are quicker to advance, so there's no time to complete challenges, making them redundant. And the reward for prestiging is a few emblems, and another class slot, so progress and success is ultimately punished. Being setback with no weapons, no customization etc, doesn't encourage to keep playing for more prestige ranks it just puts me off.

And the technical problems:

it's the Quake 3 engine. It's 11 years old and obsolete so there's no excuse for it still suffering the hideous lag it showed on release.

If this didn't have the Call of Duty prefix on the name, would it have managed anywhere near the success it had?

Nuri Sahin · 05-12-2010 03:23PM

For the love of god.

Remove. RC. Cars.

Or at least make them 5 or 6 kills before earning one.

I'm sick off bloody facking cheap deaths . Before anyone says it, yes I destroy my fair share but that's not the point. Any scrub with hardline needs only 2 kills!

I've used one RC Car in the entire game. A whole massive 1. That was due to knicking someones care package. Pathetic, cretinous and plainly a cheap killstreak.

[/rant]

Nuri Sahin · 05-12-2010 03:39PM

Also.

The druganov sucked in COD4 and it sucks in BOPS. It's arguably the worst gun I've ever used in COD games going back to the 1st one.

Mr. Rager · 05-12-2010 04:01PM

My rants about the game:
I am a 1st class newb

so why is it when i play TDM i am put in the sh!te team with the rest of the newbs against the teams full of 3rd prestige pros? Why cant the teams be fairer? I always get trashed and my k/d (already terrible) goes down :mad: Its either that or im randomly on the good team against my fellow newbs, and we trash team. Its just stupid and should be fixed.

Tell me, why oh why when i shoot someone 9 times in the head and they shoot me twice, i die? Seriously the hit detection grinds my gears.

Some of the maps are so annoying. I hate Crisis, Launch and (not many will agree with me on this) Summit.

The RC is too low, the Blackbird is too high, that should be 6-7 max.

Heard in the next patch Hardline pro will only change care packages, wont work with sam turrets or sentry guns anymore

Thinking back I cant believe i actually got all the golden guns in cod4, some of them where an absolute pain to do and in the end i only actually used the golden AK47 or shotgun, what a waste of time.

Yep, the golden AK, shotty and uzi were the only guns I used after unlocking the golden camp. I was too stubborn in trying to get the golden sniper despite knowing full well it was absolute crap and completely time wasting, likewise the LMG.

Headshot · 05-12-2010 05:06PM

Im not sure to laugh or cry at this stage

just turned on black ops there and im frozen at the connecting screen after you choose multi-player option

this has happened me a few times now
