COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

I had a chopper gunner last night and I only managed 3 kills before it was shot down, so some people are on the ball. But if it's not shot down quickly it's a 15-20 killing spree for any player. It lasts far too long and it even highlights enemy players with red markers. Far too overpowered.

Yeah i always thought that was particularly nooby about it (and the Gunship). Theres not really any skill to it, just point the gun at a red diamond and hold down fire until it vanishes. Should really have a zoom so you actually have to look for people.

Fond memories of my dumbest kill streak yet. Spy Plane (used), Care Package, Chopper Gunner (used), respawn after using it, throw down Care Package, another Chopper Gunner! I racked up about 20 kills in no time, would've got more but it was on Cracked (i think) so tons of buildings around. If it was more open i'd of been on a 30-40+ streak.

Swifty, Chopper gunner is 9 kills, 8 with Hardline, and its not completely rare from Care Packages at 5 (4). Its the controllable Gunship which is 11 and frankly i don't think its better than Gunner (though i've only had it once from a Care Package so take that with a pinch of salt).

Ah just goes to show that I don't use chopper gunner as my kill streak. :p

I prefer the gunship as you can avoid the rockets and it's more fun flying your own helicopter! :D
 
I dont know why everyone doesn't have a rocket class... the chopper comes, kills u instantly, u swap class and shoot it... job done... Only problem i have with this is why i spawn in exactly the same place over and over again with the chopper gunner still just wailing on the spawn point spawn killing me over and over again!

ps. prefer the game much more than mw2, headquarters is a great mode just wish more servers ditched the noob modes (ffa, tdm) and played it :)
 
Thing is the time it takes to lock on with a rocket is more then enough time for the chopper gunner to look at your red triangle and mow you down, this seems to happen to me a lot as im often the only one who even bothers trying to Anti-air the helicopter. I guess if more then 1 person was trying to lock on it might go differently. Still is hard to take one down though.

The first heli is rediculously easy to take down, and id say gunship is easier then chopper gunner to kill.
 
Dan's right. Most chopper gunners seemt o be on the ball and even though I have an anti air class i get owned trying to lock on. Im hoping things'll be better when i get ghost pro if i can be bothered to keep playing.

Doesn't normal Ghost make you not show up red to a chopper? I always just switch class and use the two shots I get to take them down. Job Done. :confused:
 
Can't you hit it with untargetted rockets? I think the attack helicopter takes evasive maneouvres when you do but dunno about the others.

But yeah if you can't down the Gunner in the first 10 seconds it normally gets really bad, unless people are spawning all over the place so you can't lock them down.

Ghost i'm not sure, Ghost Pro says 'avoid targetting from aircraft' which could mean no reg marker or it could just refer to the Attack Helicopter.

You can even get the chopper gunner or gunship after just 3 kills if you use the AA turret and Hardline Pro.

They aren't so easy to shoot down, either it can kill you before your launcher can lock on, or in the case of the gunship you can dodge out of the way.

I got a gunship on Nuketown last night in an air turret package. We were losing quite badly, I got the gunship and we ended up winning 10,000 to 8,800 :D Shame the video wasn't recorded, none of the 24/7 Nuketown servers seem to record my matches for some reason :( I always take a screenshot of wins though, probably sad but I've got into the habit over the years.

Sorry I didn't mean it like a look at my KDR I was just using it as an example that it's not about who has the better weapon but in my experience who has the quicker reaction speed/aim when seeing someone.


In my experience it's all about knowing the maps always has been for COD since COD4 and the wall piercing shots.

Which walls can bullets go through etc. It's not enough to be able to hide you have to know if what your hiding behind is also strong enough to take a bullet. This is all experience.


Having a PC that doesn't stutter along helps too.

HQ is great CTF just looks to be an addon as the spawn points are very unpolished and you can spawn only to have someone from the other team spawn 5 sec later beside you :(

Very true mate, couldn't agree more.
 
Made a video using FRAPS to show my friend who has a Eggbox360 how much better the graphics are on PC as he was saying all about lag and stutter on PC...

Think it shut him up lol
