    I dont get the big gripe with drop-shotting.

    Before people take out their pitch forks and round up the troops for a lynching, I don't do it.

    Just never saw an issue with the whole thing... it's not that difficult to kill someone doing it. Especially if you're hip-firing, it's simples.

    Even after the latest patch, still have to input the SND_RESTART command into the console at the start of every round. Unable to do that in private matches when hosting, for some reason, so must rely on having a friend's less powerful machine that doesn't have the issue take on hosting duties.

    Ridiculous spawning programming that often means death instantly after spawning.

    Seems like about 50% of people are using second chance at the moment. I've been knifed a few times by people while they're in their downward invincibility mode. It's so cheap. Then people's assists are going way up too because of it.

    I have a clip which show's this downward invincible knife perfectly but the theater mode wont upload it for whatever reason. Says its uploaded, but it's not :(

    Have treyarch mentioned anything about changes being made to it? For one thing it should at the very least be put in the list for perk1 so you can't use ghost/hardline etc with it.

    it's not that difficult if you're on a similar connection,when you're slightly lagging behind someone it's a different story,they're lying on the ground pumping bullets into you while you fire away into thin air because they're still upright on your screen,as far as I can tell that's the whole reason people do it

    But sure if you're going by that logic it makes no odds if they drop shot or not

    Yea but it does dramatically decrease your chances,I'm just going on personal experience,many a time I'm left looking like a gob****e firing at nothing,even worse when it's final killcam

    i dont really have too many complaints about black ops online as i think they have done a good job on removing certain perks that drove every one mad but last stand?? i fcuking hate it and the people that use it. W*NK*RS...that is all cheers

    you know what pisses me off

    these ****ing idiots playing the game

    There were 2 enemies facing south and I was coming up from behind and getting reading to knife both where my so called team mate behind me starts shooting at them and only manages to only kill one while the other turns around and kills me

    ****ing idiots, did they ever hear of stealth

    The standard of team mates in non-partied up games is awful. From not properly watching your back to drawing unnecessary attention to your position (esp. if they fail to kill their target) to just getting in the way. That's not to mention going badly negative and giving the enemy UAVs and airsupport when I'm not running CBP (MW2) or not running Ghost Pro (BO).

    But then again, it works exactly the same way for the opposition so there is an upside to it. ;)

    Was playing on some German server today, running around like a mad-man, mindful of their "camp = kick with no warning" rule. My team was winning, I was at the top of the board with 25 kills and five deaths. I don't think I stopped anywhere for longer than three seconds, only stopping to listen to gauge where the shooting was coming from.

    At the end of the round the enemy team began a chorus of "campers!" and the admin apparently agreed, as I (and I assume, my team) were all kicked.

    Idiots. Not that I blame Treyarch for things like this (there's plenty of other things to lay blame at their feet).

    They should change Second Chance to a Tier One perk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,127 ✭✭✭✭Leeg17


    Or to a Tier-Non Existant Perk :rolleyes:

    im a bit pissed off with all the claymores being used

    In some maps im killed more by claymores than gun fire


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,127 ✭✭✭✭Leeg17


    Hacker my good friend, then when they hear "they've destroyed your equipment", riddle them with bullets and scream into your mic "TAKE THAT SCUM!" ;)

    They shouldnt have let Claymores be an extra slot, prefered it when you had to chose between samtex/frag/claymore etc.

    You really should try Flak Jacket, I thought the others where important too but I think Flak Jacket saves my life a lot more than anything else could. Ninja has become important since they fixed the footsteps and Ninja pro means you can hear footsteps louder, essential for Search and Destroy, very useful for everything else

    I just started using Flack Jacket and it's a life saver on domination and the like :) When you're capturing and people are throwing loads of grenades you just keep surviving all the explosions :)

    Really looking forward to when Treyarch actually finish this game.

    Matchmaking has gotten worse with parties, (not everyone in the party getting in to the lobby) ridiculous host advantage over the other team, stupid little things like not being able to mute players easily in the lobby, when the party leader backs out/enters match searching, you automatically go out of whatever you were doing also, delay on firing strela-3 when pointed at big flying thing and says lock on required even when you've locked on. The same map more than twice rule has gone so ended playing firing range 5 times in a row. Claymores no longer seem reliable (you can sprint through them some times without marathon/lightweight in an assault class) and other times they seem to kill you from perpendicular.

    You would swear that Failarch haven't got a clue to fix problems so just mash buttons and hope for it all to fall into place.

    My internet was on the fritz so I played some campaign on veteran and it's awful. I forgotten how linear and no-dimensional it all is. Go here, do this, don't do that, wait behind npc, run here, shoot him, die, etc. etc. If I wanted to be barked at and had my head wrecked I'd have gotten a girlfriend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,089 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Has this every happened to anyone

    some times the claymores dont show up with hacker

    really pissing me off

    No Ninja is still crap Liam, you can only hear enemies when they are on certain ground like in Cracked other wise its pure useless

    Now I remember mw2 and that was ****ing epic, oh the days I use to sound whore on that, I want those days back :(

    I wouldnt hold your breath. For every one bug they fix, they end up breaking more stuff.

    I bet this picture wouldnt be too far from the truth either.

    I have to laugh at everyone who was claiming Treyarch were going to be the saviours and make a perfect game, and have no switched sides back to IW. They've ****ed up just as much as IW really, it is a broken game!
