Just got dogs for the first time, they did damage! Some people had said they're simple to kill and uneffective but no sir.

They really need to patch the tomahawk. Instant kill is too much! It sucks to walk out and just get hammered. Watch this insane lucky ass kill

so I just unlocked the contracts and I was wondering how they work...
I noticed that the there was a timer in the bottom right that said in like 6 hours or so the contracts would change.
Now I understand that means that the contracts you can buy will change, but do the contracts that I just bought expire after that same time period or do those contracts last until I buy a new contract for that contract category, or do they last forever? and I can buy multiple new contracts
I'm thinking they last until I buy a new contract for that category (given the fact that there is only 1 slot per contract category) but I wasn't sure.
nope, nothing came through Steam for me at least

Contracts have timers. When you go over each category / contract you can see how much time you have left to complete it. A lot of them are at about 40 mins of gametime.

got ya, that's cool. I like that risk/reward system.
I'm glad they have some sort of expiration.
I saw people posting patch notes for the PS3. When's that being deployed, because right now the lag is really killing this game and it direly needs to be addressed. It's still crazy though, there's no excuse for a game with 12 or less people to lag this bad and have this bad of hit detection these days.

I don't know what's going on today but I'm a step slow at all times, it's not noticeable lag but I basically lose almost every confrontation unless I catch them completely by surprise.

Haven't played single player yet, I really don't care for FPS SP games.
Zombies is pretty fun tho.
Mutiplayer is fun, but still prefer BFBC2.
So many aspects of BFBC2 trump BO but I can see the allure of BO to the masses.
It's nice to have BO since its something my 9 yr old can play competitively. Easy to use guns, generous amounts of auto-aim, spawning atop each other for increased action and easy kills for noobs to snatch up, simple to use 1 hit kill weapons etc...
I think its pretty cool how main stream and easy CoD mutiplayer has become, its nice to play a MP FPS and not get angry or feel "pwned".
Oh course for real competition and and such I'll slap BFBC2 in but to blow of steam and have a laugh CoD is great.
It's like BFBC2 gameplay is NBA Live while CoD is NBA Jam, very toungue in cheek assisted gameplay.
This is why I love listening to the shit talkers in the lobby, you'd think they just won gold at the Special Olympic.

Ok, so lag on PC seems to be partially fixed again. Had a couple of tense sabotage matches.
Once again I turned the tide of the battle by caring the bomb to the enemy base through the house in the middle of the map (I don't remember the name of the map, it's on the beach). It was the first time I've played on this map. Both tunnels were blocked by enemy team and the bomb was caught into crossfire. I used a flashbang and a frag to divert enemy attention, picked up the bomb and RAN back to our base, then accidentally found the road to this house and ran up just because I had to run somewhere. Then I caught up with the teammate and he led the way. We planted the bomb, they defused, tryed to carry it away but then dropped it and I picked it up again falling from the roof of the house.
So we held them in their base, took all strategic positions on roofs, in the warehouse and in the house and planted the bomb, this time successfully. This game is more adrenaline-fueled than BFBC2, that's for sure.

Thanks brother. I just had the most embarrassing killcam death, maybe worst ever. I see this sniper with his back to me from way out so I sprint to him, he turns right before I knife and literally runs right by me with my knife totally missing him. At this point he still hasn't seen me that's how close I was behind him, so he takes off running and I start shooting, missing every shot, he starts climbing a ladder and I'm STILL not hitting him, I guess then he notices I was shooting at him so he does this matrix-esque jump off the ladder, and two shots me with his pistol.

It's like Treyarch thought "Oh, well, they overpowered the sniper class in MW2 so much, let's go to the complete other direction, that will help!!!!1"...
Oh and I LOVE the story of the SP. Especially the part way up north

I feel you man. My connection has been a little better the last days. But it was just as you describe it the previous 7 days.
This is my biggest complaint with the game. I don't understand why you need to pay to get the guns, perks, grenades, etc. Just give us the upgrades and let us *pay* for the cosmetic stuff if you want it. Just getting the shit while you level up has worked fine every other time, I don't see why it needed to be changed.Meier said:
The maps are alright, except for Jungle. Please people stop voting for that, it is horrible. I don't get why people like it so much.
Couple of things;
-Campaign was decent, though that one Vietnam barrel mission is absolutely awful. As a full product it's better than MW2 or WaW's campaigns, but MW2 had far more memorable set pieces. (MW2 had No Russian, the entire US invasion, breaking into and out of the gulag, etc. Blops has... uh, breaking out of the gulag.)
-Multiplayer maps are pretty good. Launch reminds me of a larger Ambush, Havana reminds me of a smaller Crossfire. Nuketown is a decent map (far better than Rust or Shipment) but it really needs to get out of TDM and be relegated to S&D and FFA. And Team Tactical. Haven't been able to form a full opinion on them all but there's nothing glaringly terrible.
-CoD points system is pretty mediocre. Want an emblem on this gun? Spend points. Want an emblem on that gun? Spend more points. Part of CoD4-onwards' multiplayer philosophy is the whole carrot-on-a-stick approach, and in Blops you don't feel that impetus to level up and unlock stuff at all. It's just... there.
-AK74 + warlord with a grip and rapid fire is ridiculously overpowered. It's about as bad as the UMP45 if not worse. Why did Treyarch give an SMG a grip?
-Sniping is literally pointless, they went too far adding sway after you scope in. You're always better off using an assault rifle with an ACOG.
-In general the multiplayer hasn't really gripped me at all. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and not as frustrating as MW2, but it lacks the elements that keep me coming back. I dunno, we'll see if this improves.

Any Groundwar fans find it almost unplayable because of the spawns? Surprised I don't see more talk about it.
If you have flag A or C there is no way the enemy should be able to spawn behind those flags. There it is right in my theater showing it over and over again. Same shit happens in Team Deathmatch. Was so excited to play this all night tonight but I get even angrier at horrible spawning than ElPresador gets angry at campers.

On average COD is more "adrenaline-fueled" and features more action but it cannot compare to great battles in BC2 conquest or rush where its squad(s) vs squad(s) fighting over a single piece of territory. Sadly those arent as common due to the way pubs interact on servers. When you get two great squads fighting over a piece of territory reviving, spawning on teammates slowly changing the flow of battle, gaining an advantage the amount of action is extremely high. A strong flow of battle in BC2 is better then the COD spawn and engagement system. However, a strong flow of battle doesn't always occur, while the basic COD spawn and engage game play is always present. Most of the reason boils down to basics of map and gameplay design.
In general BC2 suffers from run and gun mentality, especially in conquest. People like to always be going to capture points and never defend a point even when you control 2 of 3 points. Main reason for the lack of strong engagement and flow of battle in BC2. The average player has a very poor concept of positioning and strategy on a map. This doesn't have as large of an effect in COD due to the smaller overall map design, spawn system and game mechanics.
Overall COD has a pretty high guaranteed level of enjoyment and fun due to these mechanics. Battlefield as everyone knows is simply amazing when playing with friends but doesn't have that guaranteed enjoyable experience

What's the best automatic weapon to slap a suppressor on? I want to be a ghostly ninja off everyones radar. But strong.
Just finished my 360 Veteran run. Have to say not as defining as MW for me, that game defo set the bar. None of the ones after have beaten it.
But great game, great atmospherics and specially the retro music, loved it.
Hit 3 pinch points, one being the hill but overall i didnt think veteran was that hard.
Really liked it, now for the multi and rest of the achievements.
