    We get you don't like MW2 already, no need to jump down anyone's throat any time someone mentions liking it.

    I mentioned the bs features of the game(MW2) that the majority didn't like and wanted rid of. You might have liked that type of stuff, each to their own. I personally don't want to see a repeat of MW2 for MW3. Again, each to their own and you might want to see OMA, grenade launchers, commando and so on in it. I don't know.

    I'll share my opinion whenever I feel like, many posters do likewise and many of which of whom repeat themselves constantly. There is always the ignore option if you ever feel the need to use it Cossax.

    Im going to post one huge ****ing post about MW2 here so be prepared


    Ok we all know MW2 was ****ing **** because of the unblanced weapons and perk combinations and many **** expolits that all came out so soon, the fact of the matter is IW had no team to fix all this, dont know if you heard but over 70% of their team left to EA games because the top two developers were fired because they refused their pay from activision, so with less than half the team there it was near impossible for people to patch most the stuff, n00b tubes were ****ing annoying as was boosting and dangerclosing, along with scripts left in the game also like the script for the Spinning Skull Coin emblem everyone tried to get and couldnt because it wasnt supposed to be in the game, there was an acievement for 150 in the No russian mission which wasnt taken out but eventually was patched, people bitch and moan over how MW2 was so broken and ****ty and I agree, but you have to hand it to them, they made a kick ass campaign a multiplayer with great potential but as always it was ****ed up, with barely any of a development team left it was impossible for them to fix half the stuff they apparently had only 40 people working on the coding for the care package glitch ontop of making the map packs and the scripts to stop cage match boosting, so one thing, before you bitch slap the name of Infinity Ward just remember, they have it hard too, dont call them lazy because they arent, with a small team its impossible for patches to come out quickly because the patches have to be approved by Activision and sent to Microsoft which in itself takes weeks to do, so no IW arent lazy they had problems, they have great games, if you compare IW to a football match imagine a manager sending all of his players off and leaving 3 players on, whats gonna happen 3 vs 11 (dont watch football) they will be slaughtered and people will hate the 3 players, but know what, those three players tried their best but were screwed over just like IW, thanks for reading, and next time you bad mouth IW ill ask, you and 39 friends go make a multiplayer game for about 3 million and make it perfect in one month

    Oh.... ok then.... so they had enough people working there to release 3 map packs... but not enough to fix all the bull****... good to know they've got their priorities straight.


    MW2 can suck my dick, i've played a few games every now and then since blops has been released, and its just a big steaming pile of crap every time, im not saying it wasnt fun for a while... im just saying its crap. I only played it for about 6 months and by the end of that 6 months i wanted to melt the disc into a toilet shape, so i could take a proper **** on it.

    There's no need for you to throw a strop anytime anyone mentions MW2.
    Could you also keep the rubbish strawmen to a minimum in the future, should you feel the need to whinge about MW2 again? Thanks.

    As for the last paragraph.

    Why does every MOTHERF*CKER in the game seem to use last stand and the AK-47U:mad:

    I have'nt really played Black Ops much lately as it got on my tits so much but I had a few games yesterday and today and everybody seems to be using last stand, why oh why would anyone use this as a perk?? It drives me up the f*cking walls. The AK is rotting me aswell, everybody using it just seem to run around and hip fire it anytime they see an enemy, a few times tonight I had aimed down the sights with my sniper rifle(it has happened when using an assualt rifle aswell and emptying half the clip) and hit someone square in the chest only for them to panic and just start spraying wildly and they end up killing me.

    what I have to laugh at is the WA2000 is a one shot one kill more times than the PSG-1 yet for some ****ed up reason the PSG-1 is almost the same power as the L96A1, the PSG-1 is half a power block in the stats less than the L96A1 yet the WA2000 is like 2 full bars less, the PSG-1 should be a one shot one kill always, because its balanced with its high recoil, as many people say its the Barrett 50.Cal of Black ops, but only as powerful as a M21 EBR

    Try using the PSG-1 with no attachments, seen it on youtube, said that it gets more one shot kills than the L96A1, i know its hard to believe thats what i thought.

    I tested it and found that it is the best sniper in the game...try it out :)

    But dont even attach extended mags, I tried but the result was stupid hitmarkers nearly everytime :(

    Hope this helped :D

    Told a few of the lads here about that too. Think leeg17 was the only one that followed it up though . Psg-1 is very good without any attachments :)

    Tbf, it's clear now this entire discussion is..

    I actually thought my OP would get a few laughs but obviously mistaken.

    I'll just say one last thing, I'am not the only one who immensely dislikes MW2 greatly(some even being a tad extreme even with the choice of language :pac:) but yet I'm the one being called out icon_neutral.gif.

    74u is a joke. It seems like there is always one SMG that completely over the top in a COD game.

    I only use it if I'm playing badly or just want to go on a tear. Why? Because I'm know I'll get a ton of kills.

    Well, I'm back onto boards after a seriously long time since my last visit to the site, but for a bad reason!

    I started playing black ops on the first day, right at the start i noticed something that is very annoying and i seen that other posters have already pointed it out, and in fact a lot of these have been said already but I just want to sumarise them.

    But yeah, the first thing I noticed was the slowness it caused to my ps3 (in-game) as in the XMB menu. It now takes longer to load up and message friends while in black ops.

    Second thing was the bad connections, in my second match the host migrated twice after serious lag! I know thats down to the internet providers but what is more annoying is that it might try a host migration but fails, gets sent back to pre-game lobby and picks a new host and plays the nest match....? How does that work? :confused:

    Third thing I noticed was how sometimes it would take me a full AK74U mag to take out an enemy, which is also overpowered, but then i might see a game winning kill which shows it took maybe 3/4 bullets.

    I have one or two more but i am really tired as you can seee the time of this post sorry about that lol.

    Talk to ye later (Give your views on these problems)

    1st time playing COD in about 2 weeks, been playing New Vegas. Let's just say I am extremely rusty.

    Why does every MOTHERF*CKER in the game seem to use last stand and the AK-47U
    Aww, you're making me feel bad (although, I only use it as a backup when I end up using all my knives on my "Time to f*** around in TDM" class) :( I don't use Last Stand though, I much prefer to have Hacker :P

    I think I've said it before, but it's really getting on my nerves again... why the f*** are headshots so weak? Not scoring a kill from a sniper rifle headshot (with Variable Zoom attachment) seems completely absurd to me, requiring a 3rd (body) shot after scoring 2 headshots with an assault rifle whereas people would normally go down in 3 body shots anyway... is a headshot in any way more potent than a hit to the torso in Black Ops? /rage

    And "hooray" for peculiar glitches - I hit someone with a Tomahawk as he was taken down to Last Stand (he was in the middle of the animation, at the point where he didn't appear to touch the ground), but he didn't die :confused: Same thing happened a few games later, and the guy died once the Last Stand animation had completed :P

    This game has gone as boring as f*ck. It took me 4/5 months before I got sick of MW2, not even 2 months for Black Ops.

    Why? The gameplay is the slowest I have ever seen in any COD. I know MW2 was pandemonium, but a happy medium is needed.

    It's slow because of Ghost. Ghost is a perk that attracts campers. I'm not calling you a camper if you use ghost, but that is a fact.

    I know there's camping in every COD, but there's just so much of it in this game, especially in TDM.

    If you're not in a party, doing the objective in domination or demolition just seems like a chore. You just cannot be arsed. This was never the case in previous CODs.


    Hard to summarise, but the honeymoon period for Bops is well and truly over, and it is quite a boring game.

    MW2 had way more camping than black ops has simply because it was far more rewarding to camp in mw2 to chain your killstreaks. Im just happy to have a game that is somewhat balanced and isnt riddled with care package and suicide bomber glitches


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    What the ****?

    I've just finished the game on vet and didn't get the achievement for it.

    Has this happened to anybody else?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 645 ✭✭✭dagdha


    The hit markers in this game is a joke. Hitting someone square in the chest with a sniper rifle and nothing happens to them. I was just playing a game on firing range and there was a guy camping in the corner of the long kinda of porto-cabin thing, I was able to go up to the door and see him where he could'nt see me so I shot my sniper rifle at his chest all I get is a hit marker, then I hit him again in the chest straight away and all I get is another hit marker untill one of my teammates charges into the room and kills him, its ridiculuos the amount of times the last two days that I have got only hit markers with a sniper rifle and the enemy just keeps running.

    Last night I was playing on Array and some guy was in one of the shed type things and he comes out and I hit him with my sniper rifle only to get a hit marker, he goes back inside so I throw in a semtex and I get a hit marker with that aswell..... low and behold he then comes out and kills me with about 3 bullets of famas, all this happened in the space of about 4 seconds. I looked at the kill cam and the two times I got hit markers his screen did'nt even go red.AGGHHHHHH:mad::mad:

    Ok I've played the sh1t out of blops. Prob have about 6 days played (4th prestige, spent about 2 days at 1st prestige), in fact, I played so much my left hand is in some sort of paralysis dunno wtf is wrong with it, but I haven't been playing properly for a week now except for a few frustrating games with my bandy hand. Anyway I have to say I'm tiring of the game.

    Especially in the last month or so. Everyone is using last stand. People get annoyed over the use of the ak74u - I don't, it's only a gun. But last stand...my god it slows you down so much. You get noobed so unnecessarily. Also that headshots don't count for more damage does indeed get annoying. The game seems massively slowed down compared to something even like counter strike. The killstreaks are just dull and most of the time don't lead to many kills. I can get a choppergunner and get a kill or two before I'm shot down, but someone with an rc car can get two kills to match the two kills they used to get it. Also, ghost is way overpowered. They could have the two parts of ghost pro in separate perks.

    The game is balanced somewhat, and I like the way the guns are balanced (for the most part), but the way the game is so noob friendly gets really annoying with the rc cars, ability to spray someone from 50 feet, second chance etc. All things to bring good players down and bad players up to a quite medium level.

    Also the maps. Me and my friend had a lan going in my house and after a few hours we were saying "I can't believe we keep getting such and such maps again and again". Then we wanted to check what maps we hadn't played and when we looked at the list we had played the majority of them. The maps are dull and unimaginative, terribly repetitive and some are terribly unbalanced and you'll sigh because your team is starting from the "oh sh1t" side.

    My friend is hopefully bringing my copy of MW2 over tonight which I got quite late so I might try to make it to 70 for the first time in that instead.

    don't use any attachments on the snipers. Also if you're not using the L96 or PSG then you are going to get hitmarkers a plenty

    IN PROGRESS:

    * • Addressing a freeze that would occur in rare situations involving a combination of high player counts and many killstreaks / explosions occurring simultaneously in a concentrated area
    * • Further improvements to party reliability to address an issue where mixed NAT types connecting and disconnecting can cause players to drop in some situations
    * • Investigating “infinite loading screen” issue reported by some users

    http://www.callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=313365&sid=ifq9ohhtjsl149cd988caspi75

    so they call it freeze instead of what its really called a frame rate drop ?
    smells like bs to me

    And Xbox.

    But this is how games work now.
    They don't need to pay for QC because they can patch all the problems after release.


    When's that patch due?

    Using no attachments on the PSG certainly helps not sure about the L96 though. I've been using the variable scope and get loads of OHKs with it. Actually going to take the attachment of it 'cos I keep missing easy kills as I'm fiddling round with the scope as people run by. According to Wiki the L96 is the least accurate of the snipers really not sure what this means, surely the accuracy is down to the player? I seem to have wandered into the megabitch thread by mistake....sorry!

    the lag on ps3 tonight was really bad! and other boards peoples i was playing with noticed it too so i don't think it was my connection!

    the ps3 version is beyond broken, i've gone back to MW1 and 2, way more fun to play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 830 ✭✭✭Robby91


    Is it just me, or is the CZ75 really really bloody strong? I haven't actually faced (m)any enemies who use it (not sure why), but IMO it does seem a bit too powerful for a pistol - great rate of fire, good damage per shot and it seems to maintain accuracy well even when you fire it quite fast (well, as fast as Semi-Auto and my mouse clicking can go) and at good distance.

    Maybe I should just drop the sniper rifle completely from that class and run around with the pistol instead, I'd probably do better like that :P

    tbh I can't say I've had any problems with either of those two sniper rifles with no attachments. If i get a hit marker then generally they will go down. I noticed the PSG in particular giving me single shot kills majority of the time
