Black Ops is all about who can hit their mouse button the quickest.

Nothing like that I'm afraid!

It is for me...

. The amount of times i've jumped out my seat due to someone coming round the corner is ridiculous, now my finger is firmly close to my mouse button.

It depends on what game type you are playing. Suggest you try S&D which is just as much about sound, tactics and positioning as reactions.

Yeah which is pointless with the way the sound is in Black Ops.

Lol, problem is, you maybe the fastest to click fire, but countless times the enemy has survived your bullets and killed you is quite laughable, and annoying at the same time!

I'm no good at S&D I still expect to be running and gunning but then find out everyone is camping and get merked.

I'm doing it to a few extra custom slots, it's just creating extra challenge really. Going back to old guns I wouldn't use once I have the L96 and AK47.

Yeah i'm considering prestige for the same reason. Almost upto 50, seems to take about 15 play time for 1-50 and extra slots would be nice but having to level up from scratch again is just lame. 5 class slots was never enough on MW and yet 4 games on they're still only giving 5, what is it too much ****ing effort to make more?

Just not looking forward to losing my the pro stuff i have... or having to use the crappy starter weapons. I don't get it, why give CoD points to buy everything and put ridiculous level requirements on everything anyway? Level 44 for the Commando? Jeez.

I've decided to stop prestiging when I get an emblem I like.

Trouble is I'm 3rd prestige now, I've looked at all of them and I think the 2nd one is nicest

Which one do others like the most? (See them all here: http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Prestige_Mode)

I thought 8th as well actually. Not sure I can be bothered to prestige another five times though but you never know

What else you going to do? Just think of all that wasted exp you will be getting at level 50.

I made the mistake of thinking this. Im relatively new to serious pc gaming and the mouse and keyboard for online fps gaming. I dont do too badly in CoD on consoles but when i first started playing this i was being destroyed. I thought i was playing against ninjas or something! Im getting better now though and i can honestly say i can see why people say the mouse and keyboard is so superior. Im loving it.

Yep, same boat here. I thought was was amazing at MW2 on console. welcome to the world of pc gaming! players are just better. Im used to the controls now and I am pretty decent mostly but I do miss winning all the time

There are lots about MW2 MP that I'd resurrect for BO MP. Lots I wouldn't aswell like...

Edit: for some reason I get killed lots by people I've no idea where they are. Is this the lean? Or is it just anotehr of BO's awesome features?

Yeah I watched a kill cam the other day with some guy running along. I wasnt in his view at all then turned by chance shot me and continued along. Possible eyefinity? can it be used online?

Since when was prestige about the 'wasted' experience? If that was the case they'd just level you up to level 750 unlocking things as you go. Starting again with the crap guns, having to play for an hour or 2 just to afford to set up a few classes, losing your pro perks, not something i want to go through...

I may just do it once for the 6th slot but sod doing 2 more for another.

True

Perhaps, but if you play FPS to grind for 'benefits' then frankly the jokes on you... 150-200 hours of having to re-newb myself going up against people at various stages of re-newbment... its not exactly unlikely that 1 people shooting each other could be decided by which 1 has Sleight of Hand Pro and which has Sleight of Hand.

Why is the joke on me?

I love the MP5 and M16 starter weapon, I would happily use them throughout the game. At level 17 which is an hours worth of game time I have the AK74u which I will use until I hit 50. Warlord pro takes again an hour tops to get.

I would say I come top of my team 9/10 games and top of the server 8/10 so for me ranking up is very quick.

I disagree, with me it's down to who has the better aim/reaction time not weapon. I have a 1.77 K/D while not great I have about 11,000 kills so it's not too bad. Bearing in mind the first two prestiges I had a terrible K/D.
