I don't usually complain about teammates, but I just went 63-9 with 4 caps in a game of domination and still lost.....

Say what you will about Treyarch, but they did an absolutely fantastic job communicating with their users about the changes and shit going on with Black Ops constantly. David Vonderhaar was answering people's questions on Twitter nearly 24/7 for the first month.

On the other hand, Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer has done a piss poor job again of staying connected to their community. Robert Bowling didn't respond to anyone (or post anything at all for that matter) on Twitter from November 12 until yesterday.

Also, Treyarch's games don't have the amount of bullshit glitches that IW's do (MW2 Care Package/MW3 Stealth Bomber). Treyarch is also much quicker at fixing any map glitching issues.

Believe me, I used to be a big "I <3 IW, fuck Treyarch!" guy, but considering how both companies have treated their last round of games, I have more respect for Treyarch at this point. If Black Ops had stopping power on all the weapons, it's the best CoD game since CoD4.

Black Ops couldn't even handle napalm strikes properly until a few patches so that it didn't always freeze the game and you didn't have to deal with an ally's napalm killing you.

THey were better at fixing existing problems and communicating those fixes, but black ops had all sorts of issues and glitches.

Just went 20-7, and then 30-14 in free for all running the assault package, hardline pro with UAV, predator missle, and attack chopper on mission. I must have picked up 7 or 8 chopper kills easy as there is nowhere to hide on mission. Still not digging the game, but I'm starting to do better now that I'm using the assault package with the acr 6.8.

A little surprised but they're sold out of the Hardened edition once again on Amazon for the 360 and PS3. Nothing in stock until November 26 for the Hardened edition.
 
Is this stealth bomber glitch a big deal or something? I have over a day of time logged on the PS3 version since release and I never saw it until I saw it on the YouTube link in the last page of this thread. I tried it and it doesn't work. Likening it to the care package glitch is lulz because you saw that in virtually every game of MW2, it broke the game for a good amount of time.

I bet so many players online just now were confused as to how they were getting out-sniped by my MP7 with an ACOG (w/ Range).

Thing is unreal. Easily the best SMG imo.

Anybody here play hardcore search and destroy regularly? Or has a clan that does? It's pretty much the only thing I play but it's getting dull on my own. It doesn't help that the maps are still all around very bad for sniping + SnD.

And what's up with that infinite grenade launcher shit? Is that a glitch or a real weapon? It has this large red crosshair thing I saw someone just kept shooting it over and over.

That's what you get for playing Hardcore. The thing is worthless outside of hardcore.

I have officially gone prestige and regretted it hard the next match after, this game more then any other COD I feel is really unbalanced for lower levels. Sure you get something to take with you when you prestige, but this doesn't help very much. Man I love the game, but I still think Black ops is the better game.

The problem I have with normal mode is unless you shoot in the chest half of the time the barret takes 2 shots to kill which infuriates me tremendously. I always end up getting a shit load of assists just because I hit someone in the hip or stomach. Snipers have been made useless in normal because of the damage + small confined maps, especially in respawn modes.

Then I use my pistol as my secondary and it's nerfed completely in normal it takes 4-5 shots to kill someone but normal machine guns kill me in 2 so I automatically lose. In hardcore this is fixed and I can have some fun with my rifle + pistol combo. Those fucking noob tubes though. I don't understand why IW/Treyarch won't just TAKE THEM OUT. It's an absolute crutch for weak players.

You must be joking, snipers are the worst things ever in this game. Quick scope, plus not even having to hit your target for a one hit kill = worst sniping ever. Im sorry but with quick scoping back they made it really easy for snipers. Now if you want a better game for sniping go play BF3 you know where they actually got it right... Not trying to make this into a BF3 vs MW3 thread since there already is one, but sniping is really not good in this game at all and hasn't been ever in COD.

I don't quick scope and I don't care to learn. It looks cheap and kills the challenge.

I would've gotten BF3 on PC but my video card can't max it out, and that's one of those games I feel I'd want to max out at 60fps to play right. They're both great but I got COD in the end because it was 60fps and I prefer the twitch based arcadey physics.

Thats understandable but I main recon in BF3 and trying to snipe in COD is just complete garbage. Its to fast, and the developers know it, so they compensate them with quick scoping and really easy kills.

I prestiged and saved my token thinking I'd need to bring Assassin along with me, but I had no problems at all and got back to 28 (I think?) pretty damn painlessly. Maybe it's worse in other game types, I mostly play TDM/KC/FFA.

Sniping in this game is a joke it's so easy. I'm not a sniper at all, and on Mission I chose the default Sniper Recon class and went 8-0 before they finally flanked me from two directions at once.

Yeah I took my ACR with me, next time will definitely be taking Assassin with me.

"There is no more last stand"
-Final stand is even fucking worse than this shit.

Giving someone C4 to take an enemy out while basically in final stand is EVEN WORSE. "Oh, so you've run out of bullets and have to knife me? too bad so sad, you just got C4'd!!!"


Fuck your god damn bullshit ass deathstreaks, IW. Don't punish players for doing well.
 
so i think i can safely say that the following are cheap fucking guns and anyone who resorts to using these guns are no better than javelin-dom users:
- type 95 with rapid fire (1 shot kill at nearly any range on any body part, no recoil, even with a silencer it deal 1 shot kills at seemingly every distance.)
- akimbo FMGs (dual full-auto guns that have ridiculously tight hipfire spread)
- XM25 in hardcore mode
 
I am SO sick of team-killing rockets at the beginning of every round of every other hc snd match. And the lag on the PS3 is just getting silly now...

That's kind of interesting how the ACR, MK14, and M60 are the only non-snipers that can kill at any range in hardcore.

The PS3 version of this game looks so bad compared to the 360 version. Yes I have both versions. Yes I have a nice TV (Samsung 55'' D8000 LED). It's night and day to me. The PS3 version looks washed out and more muddy to me than the 360 version. The 360 version has more punch and pop to it. Awful.
 
Fighting a bunch of Support users are the worst thing ever.

worst.

ever.

Fuck that shit.

putting lethal killstreaks in a killstreak package that doesn't require much effort was not a good idea.

If Dome was IW's response to Nuketown on Black ops then lol.......lol as in Nuketown shits on Dome

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
After finally getting my gold SCAR, I switched to the G36C for the first time. Wow, what a revelation! People actually DIE when I shoot them! It just feels so much better, even without any attachments or proficiencies. I thought I liked the SCAR, but I guess that was just because I hadn't used any other ARs — I was just so intent on leveling it up.

Akimbo FMG9's are fucking OP as fuck.

Fuck.
Yep, and the community has officially found out... Guess there was a video on it or something, because last night was an explosion of FMG9 akimbo spam for me. Felt like fucking everyone was running with them.

YES. They need to remove the stupid offensive rewards! Why are there offensive rewards in the support killstreak setup to begin with? Yesterday, we had a tight match of Demo against a team who all ran support. It was going well and we finally managed to move them out, plant and win a round. So they decided to win the next round by calling in FOUR support juggernauts at once. That was unwinnable!

But those Stealth Bomber + EMP support are my nightmare.

Correct.

Both suck ass, both suck ass more when you're running Assault and get your streak ended by a bomber or nuked by an EMP. Both suck ass still more when the whole fucking enemy team is running them.

I'm starting to think Assault is _too_ nerfed this time around. I don't even bother going for Osprey Gunner, it's a complete waste of time. I can drop Heli/AH6/Pavelow in any combination of two back to back and they get shot down so fucking fast (assuming there isn't, hey, a support SAM up!).

I'm reduced to using Assault for Sentries, IMS, and maybe occasionally an Assault Drone. The AC130 has at least a bit more durability, but the maps are so constrained that you rarely do much with it, same goes for the Reaper (which goes down faster).

Oh well. It's still fun, now if they'd just fix shotguns.

edit: Made worse by the fact that I can frequently go double Stealth/EMP in many modes with an aggressive build, I cannot consistently go double Assault anything past 9.

Oh man, I wet with the Scar almost exclusively from the time I got it until level 78. Then.....I discovered the FAD assault rifle. Sweet baby jesus it's fucking NICE!

If you're playing the option of objective based team play, please go and fucking get those objectives. Don't sit in a corner and camp all day. No one gives a flying fuck about your k/d ratio.

Join the dark side and see if it suits you. Support and specialist are really liberating. Not so great for k/d purposes especially when people get used to semtex to take out the recon juggernauts, but it feels so good to emp an escort drop or pavelow.
 
nah, your UAV and CUAV only gives me challenges points since I got Assassin Pro.

But those Stealth Bomber + EMP support are my nightmare.

Yes even with Assassin.

It isn't something you can be proud of. Assassin/Dead Silence users are the worst people I've ever met.

All COD games are like that on PS3.


yes they are, and without realizing it until today I've been whoring the shit out of them.
Works even better with Steady Aim.

I have to disagree, I own both versions and the difference is miniscule.

Slightly washed out colours compared to the 360 version maybe but apart from that they're exactly the same.

Awful? not in the slightest.

Remember when I said I couldn't get into premium Elite on the web, just the console.

Well, it turns out that this is a bug that applies to people who purchased the sub om the console. So I can't join clans.

Good fucking game Activision.
