So I just unlocked the Stoner (the fourth and final LMG) and good christ finally an LMG worth using. So for those concerned that all four of the LMG's were going to be useless, fear not; the Stoner is awesome. Very accurate, very little recoil & high rate of fire. It's a shame you have to waste 4000 CP in order to unlock it : /

I was using the Stoner for quite a bit but it's definitely not an easy gun to use. It's recoil is really inconsistent.Loxley said:

Community guy basically just said you need to listen better and that nothing is wrong with the sound in the game regarding footsteps. But they're gonna tweak it anyway. :lol

I stopped caring about the plot when I got to 1/3 of the game since it went to the "beyond ridiculous" territory, but it was dull gameplay and the lack of WOW moments that made me stop. Black Ops plot is also ridiculous (at least it's coherent) but it's gameplay that pushed me through. I was enjoying it while MW2 felt like work and when I got Makarov's mansion (his name was Makarov, right?) and there was this part with the notebook... Damn, I just gave up. There was a ridiculous part in the first Vietnam level when you had to go down the hill and I wanted to complete it because I wanted to see more awesome moments and scenarios. The only exciting part about MW2 is the Washington level. Yes, that part was memorable.

Did you ever play Cod2? The two part Hill 400 mission is the pinnacle of the series.
In my opinion.

Dumb question, but do they release patches on weekends? 
In my opinion the whole thing is fine. SP is very good, better and way more interesting than the MW2-SP. MP presents the problems most people already talked about e.g. the graphics are not as good as in MW2-MP and there's definitely a network-problem (giving you completely green bars, yet it's still lagging).
What part of critisism I absolutely don't get is the sound. In my opinion it's way better than MW2's (MP and SP!).

Black Ops for me single player "memorable" moments will be the frustrating parts I think in the long run.
The good parts I felt were down to two parts for me:
1)
2)
Those two parts stand out for me.
Also, to the peeps who were hating on Swastika emblems earlier...why would you in this game? It's in the co-op all over the place, and World at War was covered to the brim with them. Kind of would be funny if Treyarch sent out a ban hammer for it when they use it in their games.

When you parachute off that mountain during the avalanche.

When you catch up to Steiner and Reznov says, "I AM VICTOR REZNOV, AND I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!"
Those two parts stand out for me.

I'm not finished with the BO campaign yet, but I would already take it over MW2 at this point. The storytelling, and general "framing" of the Michael Bay picture they painted here is way more interesting than MW2's barrage of insane moments with an incoherent plot. The only memorable part of MW2 was the White House section.
CoD4 still has the throne for best CoD campaign though. The pacing for each of these games has been completely off since then. Constantly balls to the wall with no suspense or build up. In MW2, and even in BO, they're just attempting to get the most possible set piece moments into the game without giving the player a chance to breathe, and in the process completely blend everything into one huge bro-fest that you can barely remember at the end of a level. Less is more in this case.

Yeah Spas is shocking, right up in peoples face and it take 3 blasts, at first I thought it was because of the supressor, took it off and still takes a few shots, god knows why the shotties are primarys now, there weak as fuck.
:lol Community for this game is too stupid it's funny. I just got bitched at in Hardcore S and D for planting the bomb by my own team mate. "Why the fuck would you plant?" "Because that's the objective?" "Why are you doing it so fucking fast without saying anything?" "I keep saying where I'm running to, but all of you guys want to do is talk about shotguns and crossbows." "...yeah but you have no kills." .... at this point I muted him. :/

So I linked the Theater to my youtube account the other night, and selected PSN. Now I want transfer some vids from the 360. Do I have to unlink then re-link if I want to upload clips from XBL?

*Right Click, Save As*
I have 3-4 mates who bought the PS3 version and are 100% sure that as (they think) the PS3 is the superior machine, that their version of Black Ops looks better. I've had one over since I got the game and showed him the 360 version and he told me his looked better... I don't want to go out of my way to show them the error of their ways, but if they start bagging on my decision to get the 360 version (to play with the 10 or so friends who have it on 360) I have something to show them.
I tried to link them to the Digital Foundry comparison but they more or less put it down to being a load of bullshit.

11 killstreak?
In all honesty I'm happy that it is next to Gunship as the worst killstreak I'll have to deal with. I can hardly see people trying to 'dog-boost' it just doesn't sound as punchy as nuke-boosting.
Makes me wish I got that instead of chopper gunner... what's two more kills, after all? I didn't know they killed in one hit now. It's an instant loss because people think you can run away instead of hunkering down and shooting them down. So they die like lemmings and the team is down by 1000 when they're done.Stripper13 said:

Think im about the same, when they were called in against my team they seemed to go after everyone else but me.
Beat the single player tonight. As a high-level premise/storyline, I liked it MUCH more than every other CoD. Following one Black Ops soldier throughout his career is a great way to throw together a wide variety of missions without it feeling random. The intrigue and mystery layered on top was just the icing on the cake.
Much less happy with the gameplay, though. Treyarch simply doesn't seem to be quite as talented as IW. Or else they just had a smaller budget. In any case, the graphics, the voice work, the QA & overall level of polish... they're all a step or two below the Modern Warfare line. All the vehicle segments especially, while sort of fun in a diversionary way, are just really rough. Soooooo tired of infinite monster closets, too. It's like it's 2000 and not 2010.
Despite digging the storyline more, I'm probably more likely to replay MW1 and MW2 thanks to this increased care put into the gameplay, and because no one does set pieces bigger than IW. I mean... fighting to take back the White House? Where could COD single player scenarios possibly go from there?

Going to have to give it a go, I can see how it would be useful in close up situations with an AR to switch to the masterkey.

The more and more I play this, the more frustrated I'm getting. More people are just starting to camp, and when I get into a one-on-one gunfight I will ALWAYS lose.
