Oh so the fact that I had just got us killed in the hind, because I whiffed twice trying to take out the VADS was just coincidence? :lol

We die. Seks leaves. :lol

That was annoying, but yeah that's pure coincidence. JM did similar when I was in the gunner. I can be an excellent gunner when we aren't being anti-aired, but when we are I start falling apart because I keep trying to hit the VADS/big damage dealers and the chopper gunner position doesn't do too much damage whenever I am in the seat firing. :/

I understand why some of you hate map packs, but I'm all for extra content, not the kind-of-bad-move DICE makes by repurposing the existing maps (althought, don't get me wrong, that's better than nothing).

Are you telling me you wouldn't shell $15 bucks for BC1 maps ported to BC2?

Come Vietnam, say what you say, we're paying basically for a map pack.

Granted, free maps is awesome, but that's not how it works anymore.

Also: There's gonna be a map pack for COD:BO. Don't even doubt it.

:lol

The only time I get killed by VADS is if I check it and it's empty.... I turn my attention to the next threat/objective and then a guy jumps in VADS as soon as I take my eyes off it.

Lately I just blow it up no matter what, but for some reason I couldn't kill it that time. I hit it with 2 barrages but didn't kill it.

And as soon as one freaking round from VADS hits the chopper it's gameover. Sends the heli into a sidespin that's hard to recover from.

From the BC2 UK forums.

...will be posted tomorrow on Twitter and the BF blog. zh1nt0 is chatting with us on GamersBuffet channel right now.

He says that Harvest Day is 100% true and is coming.

EDIT: Regarding SPECAT: He says it will be definitely available for PC.

EDIT: No comment on BF3

EDIT: The BC1 map pack will use the same VIP system. So it will be free.

EDIT: No Panama Canal Rush. But that's not a biggie with the BC1 maps on the horizon.

EDIT: The flame thrower can be equipped as secondary fire in tanks in Vietnam. I smell awesome.

So tomorrow we will find out which BC1 maps will be in the map pack as there will be a new blog post.

Nice. I hope they reveal what SP locations will be made into multiplayer maps as well.

Yes. Because I have the BC1 disc... *gasp* Porting them to a new engine for $15 for two of them doesn't make me moist, sorry.

Edit: And the BC1 maps are apparently coming for FREE for new copy buyers. IW: 0 DICE: 1 on that front.

Had some really good matches today, I have finally gotten use to spotting. I spot anyone I see like instantly. Also I'm starting to realize how much of a beast recon is if you take an assualt rifle and just motion mine and take people out while defending.

Anyone playing on Xbox 360? I need someone to take me under their wing and show me the rops, I will follow you and revive you

NO U.

Treyarch has to win my trust after IW squandered it. And QoS's multiplayer was nothing but shotguns with pin-point accuracy across the map. I'm not sold on BO until six months has passed, there is no "AIRSPACE IS TOO CROWDED, PLEASE WAIT A MINUTE BEFORE TRYING YOUR STREAK!", and glitchers out the ass.

I will admit that Treyarch is apparently fixing things, but I'm not sold until I see how things pan out. If there is a $15 map pack in the line you can bet your ass I WILL NOT buy BO even if it's the first PS3/PC game with a Halo 3-like Theater system.



Been done. Server cleared out within minutes after we started to steamroll them round after round in Conquest.

On PC the maps were free, but yeah, on console you would get kicked if a map you didn't have came up in W@W

Well, $15 for two maps is certainly a no-go. But what about 4? Why not enjoy the maps you loved in a newer version of the game?

Color me impressed. Good job, DICE! I wasn't expecting the BC1 map pack to join the VIP promotional package.

Then again, Vietnam is a glorified map pack with a flamethrower. :p

I've been playing the last few days on the 360 after taking a few months break and I have no problems with finding games. So it seems to be pretty popular still.

"Been taken down due to copyright by ATVI"

What was it?

Edit: Hahaha, oh wow, thanks Google for caching the title.

"YouTube - Call of Duty: Black Ops 15th Prestige Lobby + Challenges ..."

OH WOW. It begins!

I only used the 10th Prestige hack in MW2 for the title/call signs. "My Little Pwny" hidden behind the first prestige? Fuck that shit, I'll unlock all of them and level to 70 and forget that shit.

Click to expand...

I was making a jab at CoD6: MW2 making a $15 map pack including 2 ported maps per pack from a game I paid $60 for... TWICE (well, okay... $45 + 60). And they were the only decent maps in the map pack or hell CoD6 with the exception of Skidrow.

Vietnam is 4 maps for $15 and even then I don't see the value. The only thing that it's doing is adding new weapons with those maps. But you can't use the flamethrower in "vanilla" BC2 so it's kinda worthless.

The only reason I'm buying Vietnam is because I like BC2 enough to support DICE finally getting some new maps out that aren't reworks for the game modes. Doesn't mean I have to like the price.

I finally bought the PC version after seeing the Vietnam footage on PC. It just looks too damn pretty to pass up and I rather have Vietnam on PC than PS3. Not to mention all these patches that come out on the PC while the same annoying exploits are being used today in the PS3 version.

I can't wait to get it on Wednesday even if I've played the game a shitload already. It's like a whole new game again! :lol

On Laguna Presa we got robbed. I was stealing a Bradley as soon as we lost the first checkpoint and the game freaken frozed on me.

i figured that's what happened because i had the other tank and i saw you driving the first one and i laughed because we had both tanks... then like 15 seconds later i saw the disconnect message. that 3rd base defense on Presa was hilarious too, they tried to cut around the back at least 4 times and drove into our AT Mines. i snuck out and was on the hill between their base and the old base and was picking people off, and then a recon decided to drive up at me with a hummer, but got C4'd for his troubles. i wish i was only dealing with freezes instead of my internet connection just dying randomly for X amount of minutes.

yay. As a PC player I have never seen the BC1 maps. How are they compared to the better maps in BC2?

EDIT: looking at the levels they took from BC2 single player I am a little disappointed they didn't convert one of the levels with elevation like the mountain or urban level.

4 new MP maps (to me since I never played BC1) for free? Very nice.

This should have been happened like 4 or 5 "Map Packs" ago though. Hell, they could have stretched it out. Throw in one of these new maps and then a Conquest/Rush mode of an existing map.

Oh well.

P.S - I think this is new thread worthy..

Im going to give BO a chance tonight just to check out the 3d, but I fully expect to be back playing this by tuesday night. This is still the best fps on consoles, and I don't see kz3 or BO taking the belt, but we'll see soon enough.
