Call of Duty: Black Ops

i'm pondering changing my gamertag.

its currently MrLOL UK but every time i give it to somebody to add me everybody always comments that its ****.

Think i might change it to fr0dders, which is my nickname at work (variation on my surname)

What do you reckon ?

Anyone on 360 tried the new Zombie map in the MapPack and got any comments on it?

First thing - it is HUGE. Utterly massive. I have played it 7/8 times and still have very little idea where everything is. It almost seems as if they have tried to hide the perk machines & box, although the box is slightly more obvious. (When you are on the 'lander' you can see a beam of light pointing out the box)

Everything is black & white until you turn the power on, which is a bit odd.

Zombies are only 'standard' i.e. no annoying crawlers which emmit a gas when you kill them. Dogs have been replaced by lots of very small monkeys. Instead of the fog when dogs arrive, the sky turns red and there is some kind of mental meteour storm, it is mental.

I can't quite work out the monkeys yet, they seem to pose little threat to killing you really, and are fairly easy to kill, although every round my perks dissapear and I have to buy them again.

Someone mentioned the monkeys destroy / damage the perk machines. I'm not sure if this means that you lose that perk if they damage the machine.

There are two new perks: One is called PHD Floper and I have no idea what it does. Some say when you dolphin dive it creates a mini explosion. The other is very similar to lightweight.

There are a couple of new weapons: Black hole device which sucks all the zombies in & Russian Doll which is a colourful cluster bomb. The former is very good, a lot better than monkeys, the latter is fairly rubbish.

You can also pick up a death machine as a bonus like double points, instakill etc which is good fun. It is timed like the others.

Finally, instead of the teleporter, you now have a moon lander type thing which flys round. The frustrating thing is, as soon as you activate the lander to take off, the zombies seem to instantly know where you're going to land and run to greet you when you get there!

I can understand the servers being pressed today/tonight for lobby cards and player details etc, but how is it effecting matches when it's all P2P? I think that there is far more going on under the hood then Treyarch are letting on to, which in turn directly effects the game.

Because the servers Treyarch have are doing the matching making lobbies before the match starts. They put all the people together, pick the host then away you go. Some one feel free to correct me if I'm wrong :)

that still doesnt explain why the game has turned into a lag fest if the involvement with the servers stops when the game starts.

i think the whole xbox network was feeling the strain last night so hopefully its a temporary problem.

lag was so bad last night it was practically unplayable. I was recording some truly embarassing scores and I know im not that bad at the game. rarely ever go negative and i if I do its only by a few kills. last night I was 10-20 in the red about 10 games in a row. bullets were just not registering as hits.

whats wrong with it? you can see worse on the TV,

bet you have no problems with him watching lord of the rings? about as much violence and its more real because its not a game :D

hes a good lad 2 years infront of where he should be with his reading! i put it all down to gaming :p

seriously though i dont see whats wrong with it he loves playing zombie mode hes got 15-18 year olds on his friendlist and i dont think they realise hes only 6

i know they arent pedos or anything because ive set his xbox so voice comms comes out of the tv speakers so we can keep an ear on what people are talking to him about...

maybe some of you would rather he be hanging out on the street with the local chav kids or something

I would no sooner have my son playing out in the street on his own at 6 than I would let him play zombies.

At 6, no my son will not be watching Lord of the Rings either.

But hey this is an argument/discussion for a different thread :)
