It's funny, my KD keeps flip flopping every game; one game I will go 32-16 and the next game I will go 9-20.

I agree-but I wish more people thought like us. It's frustrating when I'm the only guy on my team actively trying to capture the B flag.

You have fine taste in maps, sir.
Black Ops has some great ones. Array and Cracked are really fun long-range maps. Summit and Firing Range are amazing.
I just wish the maps allowed all different sorts of playstyles. If you wanted to chill out in the buildings in Crash, you could. But you could also flank well, clear buildings, and really get into the thick of things with CQC by the copter.

I know that feeling. Last four games 21-8, 4-18, 19-3, 8-19. Never mediocre, either really good or really bad.
Grenades are not bad so far. I have only been killed by a few of them. I am not going to say they are rare but I have not seen many regulars beside the UAV and Hunter Killer killstreaks. It is incredibly difficult (for me anyway) to get more than 3 kills in a row before dying. Yeah there are some people that are very good at the game but for the most part I think people are struggling to stay alive because of the fast paced action and small maps.
Ditto, seems like 1/3 games i try to join instantly disconnect me. Open NAT, ports open, etc.
It's absolute nonsense. Silly me for figuring that dedicated servers on PC would give me a better experience.
At the moment I'm finding there to be a ton of UAVs on a lot of the maps due to, as you said, the maps generally being smaller, means people are getting killed faster so they aren't saving up their scorestreaks and using the earlier ones like UAV a lot, especially those on earlier levels.
So seeing as I get killed a lot out of nowhere on some maps I've taken to shooting down as much in the sky as I can when I spawn, plus with the care package helicopter you can get some nice points over a game. I'm not great by any standard a lot of the time so finding other ways to make up points is my aim now there are no support streaks, lol.
But yea, you have to be careful when shooting things down, you die so fast now that you don't usually have time to defend yourself in the middle of shooting something down if someone sees you.
I will probably remove the AA off the Sub-M class at some point though, maybe the bow, seems pretty handy for getting snipers that like to hide and pop out.
And I'll probably have ghost on my AR classes when I get it forthe same reason I use the AA weapon.
Just checking I wasn't being dense about it, it is a shame, I'd like to use the cross on the red dot sight but don't like the green colour.

you have to unlock everything again (you can use prestige tokens to "permanently unlock" things once per prestige). What doesn't unlock is your weapon stat progression.

Caved in and bought this even though i'm still pissed at how BLOPS 1 PC turned out ......
Cant comment on performance because my system now since getting an I5 runs BLOPS 1 absolutely fine, and BLOPS 2 is running great too.
Graphically, yup standard COD graphics (which i like due to how smooth and fluid it all is), but now with 4xMSAA and i think FSAA applied, there is basically no jaggy in site, cleanest looking COD yet !
Leans back, woo !
Tried multiplayer, matchmaking system is very fast, quite impressed with it really. My only problem however is, once in-game, it tends to pause every so often, I dont think its a performance thing, more connection issue, possibly because my NAT is "Strict" or something ..... need to delve a bit more into it.
Oh and old man Woods is pure comedy.

I honestly think the current maps in Blops2 lend themselves pretty well towards mid to long range combat too, it's just that the mechanics of the game pushes everything towards a run and gun style of play (which I don't really mind). I dunno, maybe once people learn the maps the game will slow down, I remember MW3 being pretty hectic the first month of it's release too. One thing that worries me though is that right now I think sniper rifles are dominating AR's in mid to long range combat though.I can't call it though, I'm not really dying to snipers that much, but I see alot of people who are though. I think alot of AR users are gonna turn to LMG's instead, they seem to be really good this time around.

Well the funny thing with the color is that a friend of mine suddenly ended up with a green one but he has no idea how he did that o.o
So i am a little scared that this game is not selling as well as i would expect, i work retail at a game store and we sold way more copies of Halo day one compared to this. Also i don't see even half a million gamer's on this game last night
On a side note i really like this game.

Does Blind Eye offer any protection from UAV's?
How do I know if I am the host in a public match?
Some thoguhts:
- GAAHHHH! @ lag compensation. I know I have a solid connection yet my death cams are hilarious.
- SMGs are the hotness right now, however I don't feel that ARs are bad. I have success with both and will happily choose either one depending on what I need to do.
-The shotguns are seriously fun; I love the S12 and long barrel. Unfortunately the lag issue can really be frustrating for me using them.
-Constant UAVs is whatever, they're up on both teams. Shoot them down and press the enemy. A lot of CoD players out there are really bad/young, they just have lots of free time to gain levels quickly. Play smarter.
-I love the "sigh mic" or whatever the actual name of it is, but hearing the complaints of people you kill in game is pretty funny. Most people that I kill in game just "sighhhhhh" or *deep breath*. LOL I love it.
-I have no real issue one way or the other with the maps. I found them all fun, some have some tricky places to gain line of sight, but learning them will come with time. The spawns are the issue here, very predictable.

Anyone know how the hell to play Strike Force missions properly?
I barely succeeded on the first one, and I have no idea how to properly defend sectors with my units despite doing tutorial. And after hearing they play a big role in Campaign, I don't really want to skip them.

MW3 never had any flow to me. But Blops has my favorite maps in the series.
I don't mind run 'n' gunners. I think they're necessary for the game. But I personally play mid/long range, so I'm glad you feel the maps can accommodate that playstyle.
Very interesting that you say LMGs are good. I can't ever think of a situation in the past where I used them for more than "just for fun." Anything that makes them worth playing this time? Rate of fire? Better range than ARs?
I'm going to train myself to say "Nice shot" or "Nice kill" after every death. I'm going to bring good sportsmanship to Call of Duty.

Any PS3 player having trouble getting into matches today?!
I haven't been able to get on all day, thought the servers might be down since a few friends have been complaining about the same thing.

Are you using DS3Tools to make it work as a 360 controller?

Really love the Type 25. Good precision, really fast rate of fire, good damage. I don't see myself using anything else anytime soon.
Amy secondary worth picking up? So far I always take a standard gun, but I don't really get the chance to use it :/

MotionInJoy which I think, is DS3tool so yes.
In-depth? None so far as I know. It's technically not released yet so I guess we'll get some news closer to launch. It's harder than I thought holding out for the Wii U launch. Hurry up, damnit.
Edit: Actually, I just realised the US release date is this Sunday!! Guess we'll get some info sooner than I thought...
Man, I love having scorestreaks rather than killstreaks. In Kill Confirmed I'm able to get the UAV with two kills + getting their tags. Then I get points for UAV assists plus I can scoop up some unclaimed tags and get the hunter killer. From there it's a short hop to the Lightning strike.

MW3 was all over the place, I agree that the game had no real flow, and Blops 1 did have the best maps in the series;you could play black ops maps in a variety of ways and find each play style viable because the maps accommodated multiple play styles.
I've had only limited time with some of the LMGs, but I immediately noticed that they were much more accurate over longer ranges than some of the AR's I've been using; as long as you're stationary they have little recoil. can't say I noticed much damage drop off either between ranges, they seemed stronger than the AR's at long range for sure though. I'm gonna spend some extensive time with the LMG's to find out for sure, but early impressions leave me feeling like they're, pretty good.
I actually do this, but only for shots that were legitimately good, or that make me pause and wonder how the guy hit me.
Sadly, they will never hear my 'damn, nice shot!' because I've had friends only chat on for, oh, the last several years
Yeah sounds like its happening to a lot of people.

You should be able to play League games, I just did at least.
I also read if you use another account you can play regular multiplayer but haven't tried it yet.
Blind Eye wont affect UAV's because they don't try to kill you, lol, you will need Ghost to hide from UAV's.
And I could tell on MW3 if I was host, they wont actually tell you in any of the games because I imagine it would annoy people, but my K/D gets shat on and thrown out the window when I become Host for whatever stupid compensation they have running so I would always just leave and my friends still in the game could confirm the host migration.

Yes, Prestige. You get 3 options. One is extra custom class, and another is reset stats.

Glad to see the time honored Call of Duty tradition of me being put on the shittiest team that matchmaking can assemble is still being practiced.
Game after game today... refuses to go after objectives, refuses to protect objectives, couldn't kill someone sitting in front of them, tied up, and already halfway dead, etc. They are pretty great at getting in my way though. So thats something.
Enjoying the game though! lol

Like in MW3? They said yea you could. It's probably one of the "prestige awards" (which unlock after you prestige).

A lot of you like Hardline. I'm surprised. I don't even plan on unlocking it. Especially with Pick 10, I'd much rather pick something that might keep me alive for that extra kill or pick a piece of equipment that will get me that extra kill (while also helping me survive) because that only moves me up the scorestreak ladder faster.
Here's my impressions:
Day 1: Read about Blops 2 on GAF.
Day 2: Read about Blops 2 on GAF.
Day 3: Play with a create-a-class calculator widget. Read GAF.
Day 4: Make a Word .doc for everything I want to unlock. Read GAF.
Day 5: Is it Sunday yet? (Read GAF.)

Why would you even try to do this? This is a CoD game. If you try to use any kind of actual tactics such as holding a position a bunch of kids are just going to scream and call you a camper. I gave up on that a long time ago and learned to just enjoy CoD for what it is - a run and gun shitfest somehwat reminiscent of the good old days of Quake deathmatch. Now I'm having a lot more fun.
