Call of Duty: Black Ops

Yer, Prestiged at last, under a day's play too like I was trying :D

Not going to bother prestiging again, just going to work on the challenges.
 
I'd be inclined not to believe you get 10-30k xp per domination match.. either that or me and every one in the games I play is doing something wrong. (Regular DOM not ground war DOM anyhow). Having said that I've only played the ground war dom for one game and with 18 players it was a lot to get kill streaks and ramp up some kills.

The match making was particularly poor tonight on ground war. Took soooooooooo long to find a match and after finally getting into one afterwards it kept offering the same maps with different modes and again struggling to find games...was useless.... went back to regular domination in the end which was better at least. This was 10pm thurs, had better luck at 5am the night before..

They need to change the SAM turret hardline thing because people were abusing it like crazy on some games effectively getting 2 care packages for what 4 kills... it was like playing MW2 with all that air support! Not come that close to a rage quit in quite a while!

The air support isn't really a problem in either game, the problem is that people can't be arsed to shoot it down. There is no excuse for it in Black ops, one of the default classes has the M72 LAW, no secondary weapon is even worth having over the Strela and you also have a SAM turret you can stick somewhere out of the way and it will shoot down anything twice as fast as a player would.

Really all you need is 2 people to drop what they are doing as soon as the chopper gets called in and it's gone.

What's absolutely laughable is people trying to rag on the game then trying to make out it's any different from any other COD with some games taking seemingly a full clip and some games seemingly taking a couple of bullets.

Just about everyone has moaned about it in every COD game I've ever played. Most of the time we get in a lobby half of us are having issues and half of us are fine. That's COD, we either live with it and know it's going to happen or give up playing online shooters on xbox live. The only online game I have played on the 360 that was any different was Graw because it handled the lag differently by just booting players if the lobby couldn't handle the number of players to the upload of the host.

Local searches has made my % rate of decent connections up on previous Cods which is a plus for me. 7 out of 10 games for me now have excellent crisp hit detection.

I don't get why if people don't like it they don't just **** off back to a previous COD that was supposedly so good. It's what we all did (!i) when WaW was disliked by most of us. We just played COD4 for another year.

I swear people just liked MW2 because it was easy KS raping with loads of cheap methods getting kills.

This game has far better weapons balance, killstreaks are nowhere near the be all that they were in MW2 and so far none of the cheap tactics that never got cleaned out of MW2.

This will definately end up being my 2nd most played COD.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
I'm enjoying this game much more than MW2.
The balancing is better.
I get a lot more decent games than I do crap games.
I don't get constantly killed by noob tubes/thumpers.
Apart from the stupid cars killstreaks aren't really a problem.
Have encountered only a few idiots running around stabbing people.

Although I don't like what they've done to the shotguns - they're pretty much useless now.

I don't think you can get those sorts of xp `every game` but I only play dom and you do rack up the xp if both teams are going for the flags.

I would say it's more 5-30k though. Mostly around the middle mark 10k-20k on average.
 
I dont think ive seen it referenced anywhere but Steady Aim Pro gives ADS faster after sprinting but also reduces the recovery time between knife slashes/lunges.

Interesting read, seems there is a suspiscion of a bug with the lag correction coding.

Seems the best way to do well is stream a video whilst playing the game :rolleyes:

I get this all the time and it is so frustrating it's unreal!

Games where my bullets don't register at all and whatever I do just doesn't work out. It's definitely some sort of bug as there are other games when I'm not host that I dominate and am able to kill people within 3 to 4 bullets. :(

The problem I have shooting down air support is the sound. I know Faded has the same. We literally cannot hear the choppers or the chopper gun fire sounds like a snipered rifle. Even when i know one is coming in and look at the map to see the direction it can take me 10 or more seconds to find the thing.

It's very frustrating. I have SAM turret equipped and it's a shame you can't scroll through KS because then I'd save one for when I needed it.

I know people hear the choppers differently to me because I've heard them on feedback through the headsets.

Ill agree with that comment as I can gauge their direction just from the sound. Its no different to MW2 on my setup for choppers

It's weird why it's just me and faded that cannot hear them at all from our party, I need to check sound settings against someone who has no issues.

Many times I've heard Faded go WTF killed me there, for him to realise it was a chopper up. I get the same. It's like getting killed by Blue Thunder in whisper mode.

WHAT?!

I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF THE CHOPPERS!!!

Probably your tinitus old man or just general industrial sounds of the north :p
 
No issues with choppers on mine, can pin point there location with the direction of the noise. Doesn't sound like sniper either, may depend on the setup options or hardware.

it could be the Action Game DSP working on my AV reciever though as that exagerates sound direction according to Yamaha. I have it on theatre speakers and quiet listening in the sound settings.
 
Well Danny has the same speaker set up as me and mine is fine so I can only guess he needs to turn his hearing aid up :p

I think I have the same setup as well. Don't worry about Si, he will take every chance he gets to go on about his 'expensive equipment' :p ;)
