Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Every cod I have played I have managed to keep around 1.4 kd yet on this I can barely break even, I do like the game but I am getting tired of shooting somebody with full clip then turning around while reloading and I got half the enemy team behind me

The amount of time i am getting killed while reloading the gun after shooting somebody down is just insane :)

BTW i still like the game.

Glad I didn't take any time off work to play this mess. Enjoying what I'v played so far but the network issues/error messages/hardened edition code not working is just so lazy from Activision/Treyarch.
 
Video about how Ghost works now. And if you're using Ghost then you need a Stock on your gun or you'll show up when ADS.

Pretty cool. Not sure Ghost being level 55 is the best idea with UAV spam. Can you keep anything unlocked when you prestige? Haven't looked into yet...
 
Went on for a quick game with my mate at 11, 2 and a half hours of Nuketown later I can't believe it's half 1. Really loving the multiplayer now, especially with no Last Stand, and also that I'm finding a couple of guns I like.
 
Surprised at how good this game actually is, and how much more i am enjoying it.

Also finding myself using SMGs more than anything else which is new as i've always been an assault user.
 
Is it only PS3 players who are not able to play games? I am going to start buying games for the 360 instead. PS3 has only ever let people down.

Yep, played a few games this evening then got the error message so tried it on Xbox and straight in and played the rest of the night.
Its been the same since Black Ops 1 which is why I bought it for both consoles as I play with most of my mates on PS3 but got the Xbox one mainly just to be able to play while the PS3 servers are buggered. :rolleyes:
 
Played HC TDM last night, so muuuuuch better, when you shot someone they are dead 99% of the time! Just want to add in some more game modes like kill confirmed ...

Early to say but up there to be my fav COD game, not a patch on WaW though... S&D on that game was immense!
 
Been trying to get my money out of this by playing Kill Confirmed and Hard Point, they both work pretty well on the maps because they're not quite as much of a mess as Team Deathmatch but don't rely on the maps being well designed like some of the other objective modes.

Domination is pretty hopeless on all of them which is a real shame as it was my favourite game type until now.

The guardian scorestreak is pretty powerful, stick it in a narrowish corridor and it is effectively blocked off as anyone trying to run through will get killed by it even if no one shoots them on their way through. Turrets seem to have a longer life as well and knifing doesn't destroy them anymore so they're actually quite a good reward now.

I can't get into the SP campaign, the terrible AI really does show its age (firing rockets at point blank range, running past your teammates to knife you whilst your teammate watches, etc).

I do like the option to adjust your loadout and graphically they've eeked out about as much as this engine has to give I think! It's a shame that the first few levels are actually quite a mess graphically as it makes picking out enemies pretty hard.

I'm finding it best played in small bursts of 3-5 games, anymore than that and I feel my frustration building past "that's annoying, I'm sure I'd gone around that corner" into "what a load of $%$@ing #$#$, that was a whole magazine for %$^@'s sake".

IMO it's better than MW3, about on a par with BO1 (would be better but for the maps) but not as good as MW1 or 2 by some distance.
 
:( cod4 with new perks and kill streaks would do me

I'm sure if they remade cod 4 with the new engine it would be more popular than anything they have chucked out since MW2. Which is why they leave the games utterly broken, to make sure you are put off just playing cod 4.

COD4 was almost perfect before they made sniping easy.

I can't get into the SP campaign, the terrible AI really does show its age (firing rockets at point blank range, running past your teammates to knife you whilst your teammate watches, etc).

I don't get why they are so far behind the times yet still get rave reviews due to the cinematic sections. No decent co-op, rubbish AI. Run to an imaginary line trigger points.

The first Rainbow 6 and Gears had better AI, 6 years ago. They seem obsessed with providing a hard veteran experience solo rather than an actual decent SP game.

Yep, finally got round to my PS3 version of the game last night. Got the care package opened up, looked at the bits then packed them back up ready to play some MP. Tried the code in the box and nope, PSN doesn't want to know :(
 
Went last night and got it from Asda with a £5 voucher and i managed to get a Nuketown copy as well.. :D My Tesco one STILL has not yet arrived AND they say i have to wait for 10 days before i can say its lost and get my money back!

Anyway quite liking it really but the spawning is utterly terrible. As REDD555 will tell you i managed to get killed then spawn just a short way in front of the person that just killed me was running, then was killled again.. And then again.. And then again...

Whats up with spawning at the furthest point of the map from the person that just killed you? Or even the least populated point on the map..

Oh well...
