COD Black Ops looks pretty good on PC

Im quite sure they said they were to remove dropping to prone from This modern warfare in fact its one of the things that made me keep an eye on it.

It does have its comical moments, watching people dive from the circular satellite rooms on that big icy map.

I just find it really sad that watching a gun fight, its 2 people dropping to prone at 10 meters then spamming steady aim gripped subs at each other till somones spray hits a head.

I don't want realism but i don't want games to degrade to just this....

i watched some steady aim ak74u grip guy do reasonably well on some pishy noob map but he didn't even remotely change his tactics on the jungle or array map he just ran about trying to hipfire people down like normal, i did have to have a snide comment about "you should maybe learn to aim mate" to which i got told to f off and learn to play... another tiger camo ****.... if i see it in a kill cam i just know the type of player...

but......

prone diving isnt new. dont get the deal with it. if you know someones going to do it then kill them.

most who moan about this action are people who get killed by it. its easy to shoot people prone. its just a tactic.

as for hipfire whats wrong with that?

i only hipfire 99 percent of time ;) u know why ? its cause its quicker to get a croshair on them and shoot . if you practice it you will be someone aiming up 99 perecent of time. its old school shooting aswell.

that split second you aim up im already firing from hip on you. if you accurate with it you already dead and im off :p. some may say you spray and if you dont get it right it looks like spray but when you hipfire from across the map you know it isnt. its not new look at oldschool games like quake , counterstrike , unreal tornement.

to be honest more should learn it but with how games are going more console it will be a dying art.

hipfire for the win :)
 
Hipfire is a real world tactic used by special forces especially for CQB :D

However very few people are gonna beat me hipfiring while I'm aiming down sights.
 
I do find hip firing feels too accurate in this game, short/medium range its accurate enough to get enough bullets in before most get iron sights up. I was not a big hip shooter in mw2 but in this game i have had to adapt to hipfiring to save the time on pulling up sights.

There are some good bits to prone diving. Has saved my life on numerous occassions literally diving for cover from helicopters. But yeah i find excessive prone play annoying, i have realised that when prone is annoying me i subconsciously start shooting at peoples feet.
 
Drop shot is fine. People theirs worse things. If your enemy out smarts you then fair play to him. Do it back.

Chirst, is there a 'FPS Dunderhead Playbook' or something?

All the replies to discussion of FPS imbalance seem to use the same bad grammar and same mentally deficient arguments, such as 'everyone can do it' or 'there's worse things'. :rolleyes:
 
When I play hardcore, it's very rare I see people aiming down the site, nearly all players hip fire and kill you with one bullet, I stand by my statement that hardcore is for people who can't aim. :D
 
well we will agree to disagree aim > random hipfire as a tactic (which emerged for console retards)

And no i dont have too much an issue with prone divers, infact i do aim lower than normal if there are lots on the server, them falling into a headshot always makes me grin.

I just don't like the transition time, as on some players it looks almost instant within the same frame. They are the annoying ones.

Ive started bunny hopping about like some kind of quake 3 ***** aswell, not cos i want to but cos i must.
 
haha quake 3 ***** lol :D

i have to admit this is where i get my jumpy from :p

also the hipfire thing which like already stated in 99 percentage of times at close quarters battle it will win whether hardcore or not.

Efour2 it didnt come from consoles or for console retards its a oldskool method in lots of class games . have you never played counterstrike and early cods(before cod 2) quake 3 ,unreal tournement or any other twitch type shooter fps ?

you basically just use crosshair to shoot once you get the method down its very good.
 
I bought black ops on the weekend. Glitch central... Firstly i had problems running the game but then realized that the problem was that it would not run through my proxy, so i disabled that. After running the game it was completely unplayable. Just constant glitching, i was going to ask for a refund but i thought what a hassle and let me try and fix it. So i searched through to see if there are any config changes.

I ended up changing cmd_updaterate to 100 and disabling some graphics settings as well as setting one gpu and two cpu and disabling all the steam cloud stuff. It now plays a lot better but still glitches far more than it should.

There is also a major problem with the sound and i have to do snd_restart every single round, sometimes more than once a round. Which is realy poor. Has anyone managed to script snd_restart or added it to a bind ?
 
It would be a good day when prone is blocked anyone not wielding a Sniper Rifle. Prone brings absolutely nothing to the game, it was a welcome removal from Bad Company 2 where the maps are large enough that Prone could have a purpose whereas here all its used for is camping and general abuse because it does jack **** to your aim.

Its hilarious seeing people laid out on the floor in front of door when a Frag/Stun combo comes through the door.
 
1) spawn spots are completely random and poorly implemented. It spawns like you are in ffa in tdm and other team games.

2) meelee is too powerful and easy.

3) default config is completely useless

4) sound problems are ridiculous and not fixable without restarting sound every map.

Never heard of a game that you have to restart sound every map. Hope they get fixed with an update, but i do not see how they can fix the default config. Shocking.

End of the day every1 has the same ability to knife easy which kinda doesn't make sence if you get me... the quick knife set up is something i like tbh!
 
Even if there were no bugs in BO it would still suffer from loads of issues. I've quit it for a while. If I could, I'd have sold it or got a refund.
