Call of Duty: Black Ops

I can see myself going 3/4/5 too and split screen online play will be a nice feature to have. There will also finally be bots for practising against.

I did use 7/9/11 in MW2 for a time but found 5/7/11 or usually 5/7/9 killstreaks to be more effective. Getting 7 real kills in a row was a stretch for me. I think I have managed 11 in a row (rushing) a handfull of times in 20 solid days play. Care package it will need to be then. I have more fun running around killing people than camping myself :)

It seems to me that unless you're playing TDM killstreaks are gonna be much less game changing, especially as Treyarch have been very vocal about how interactive the killstreaks are going to be, you can't capture a flag if you're busy with a remote control car etc, obviously they can stop opponents capturing/planting but if Ghost is anything like cold-blooded then who knows?
 
Then again if all of the killstreaks are interactive (Attack chopper?) then you wont be looking for the tell-tale red squares in objective based matches, you'll be looking at defending the ob... man, this is gonna be good!

Full on robot chubby
 
The killstreaks are interesting to see what people go for. In MW2 my longest kill streak without using kill streaks is 28 which was without camping, it is unusual though so maybe it could be worth risking it. Usually though my first kill streak is sometimes predator missle but more often is harrier strike. Reason being that is allows easier access to the higher kill streaks of pavelows/chopper gunner/ac130 or nuke, though it isn't an option in black ops. Looking at that list I think Care Package-5, Attack Helicopter-7, Chopper Gunner-9 looks like a good list. Has it been mentioned if it will be 3 selectable again?

intersting point, i wonder if you can still select 3? if it's down to one no one will use anything other than care package, i know i wont!
 
Just an idea, it's a shame for team based games that it's not one killstreak each, involving team work spreading out the different killstreaks of having kills add up as a team.

They need to do something to make the games objective based rather than KD ratio/KS based.

1 K/S selection each would actually be pretty good, would have to look at it as a team to get a good balance and you know i'm all about the team work Danny! :p
 
i dont think they have lowerd it to 1 KS. but if they have i dont see many people going for UAV :p (unless your teaming up)

i have never played with a team, allways solo... how diffrent is it?

You will be able to customize the shape and color of your reticles and will be able to customize your own emblem that can be placed on your gun as well as having your clan tag carved into it to make it that much more personal.

Quoted up again as a number of posts are repeating. A healthy bit of information there for anyone who missed it.

I find the UAV to be one of the best KS in any of the cod games and one of the worst the enemy puts up especially on games like CTF, Think about it like this you can hide from any "killing" KS but you can't hide from a UAV (unless you run CB ofcourse), I always try to shoot down a UAV even more so than any of the other KS's

oh yea i do a lot better when i know where people are, but for me as i play solo (never in a team of people i know) i dont see myself taking UAV if all i can take is 1 KS. i quite easily get 3 kills in a row and i doubt the KS's are repeatable without dying so 3 = uav, 6 another uav, 9 one more and so on...

whats so special about that? all i can see diffrent is the cog looking things below the thumb sticks + extra back buttons??? (for what?)

The cog things under the thumbsticks adjust the tension of them. The extra buttons are mappable so that means you can melee on tactical easily or reload without taking your thumb off the stick. I am a bit of a peripherals guy so I am really excited by this.
