Rented 360 version to see if I wanted to snag the PC version. Having fun in SP, and the fact that the story is actually interesting/understandable is nice.
The vehicle sections so far are cool, and i'd like for them to be able to work some of those action packed sequences into MP somehow.
An Unreal Tournament style Assault mode/Halo Invasion would've bee nice for MP (large teams with evolving objectives).

Agreed. We need more shit than setting bombs at crates or capping flags.Teknoman said:

If they don't, I'd be 100% more inclined to play those modes.
I know I shouldn't care about K/D, but my 1.7 is nice to have.

So playing MP still feels off. I decided to play the the offline mode with bots and it then feels right, especially with the hit detection (it's actually quite fun too) so it has to be lag.
What could be driving the lag up if the net code is the same as the past few CoD games?

Why won't my rendered clip upload?!? It's been sitting here uploading for awhile now, with no progress bar or countdown, just the message box saying Uploading Rendered Clip with the option to cancel. Hmm?
Edit: Well a screenshot I took yesterday was uploaded.

I actually started playing Combat training and you know what? I like it! It's challenging, there's no campers-and something very strange happens-I don't have to empty an entire magazine into a stationary enemy to kill him!
This is the reason everyone likes Nuketown, pretty much why everyone liked Shipment. It's a horrible, terrible map, but you can gain some mega XP/currency on it.SUPARSTARX said:
Still doesn't excuse the fact that it's rubbish. I just leave the lobby if it comes up. I'd rather enjoy playing the game instead of sit there and grind out levels/money.
Don't know why everyone says it's a bad map. It's actually a pretty good map. Any line of sight that you have leaves you vulnerable and there are several different positions to hold, none of which are amazingly safe. There are levels of verticality which are the points to hold, but they have several entrances each and are easily grenadable. There are also random crevices that people can hide in, if that's how they have to get their kills. However, these camping spots are not very deep so it's fairly easy to knife people in them.LordAlu said:
I think it's at least an above-average map and definitely a fun change of pace.
EDIT: I like the feeling of never being safe and being forced to move around the map to get kills and avoid being killed. If you like to camp, Nuketown isn't the map for you.

It's okay to grind out the cool stuff if you want it fast. The fun comes after all of that little bit of work.LordAlu said:

Reminds me of the epic Rust Private Match Glitch clusterfucks with the infinite launcher rockets and grenades. From the bugs I've heard of being in Black Ops, it makes me wonder if Treyarch didn't use an unpatched version of MW2 as the base for it. Sounds like some of the old problems are reappearing in it. At least we don't have anything as bad as Javlindom show up yet.

I was uploading a Tomahawk kill as well, got the final kill w/ the tom in this guy's neck.
Personally (and this is my opinion), I find that every game played on Nuketown devolves into a clusterfuck of people running around all over the place and not trying to use any tactics whatsoever. A good map encourages the players to use every part of it, whether to outmanouever an enemy, get the drop on them, or to work with your teammates to push forward against the opposition.SmokeMaxX said:
Like Shipment, Nuketown doesn't do any of this. All that seems to work is a small square where each team can just run in and shoot at everyone. The problem with having nowhere to hold, or places that have several entrances and are easily grenadable, is that no-one will use them as there is no point, and everyone will just run in to a big firefight in the centre.
That's just my view from what I've played though. I'm sure against an organised team it would work very well, but I've never come up against properly organised opposition in Black Ops yet :/
You mean Wetwork? The advantage of Wetwork was that it was relatively symmetrical so there was no advantage to either side, but from what I remember the ship in Black Ops wasn't so it might not be as well suited. I'd have to have a look at that level againMik2121 said:
Yeah, I've had a quick run through and it could work pretty well for some gametypes... I can see Search & Destroy being good fun on it with one or two tweaks.Mik2121 said:Yup, sorry. Got them mixed. Wetwork is such a horrible map..
And Shipment isn't any better..
Edit - About your edit, yeah, it's not symmetrical but they could work on that easily.
Wetwork was an okay map, but unfortunately it didn't work for certain game types. Headquarters for example was pretty shocking on Wetwork due to the nature of a narrow map. One team could spawn at the other end of the map to a new HQ and the other right on top of it. For those sorts of gametypes a more squared off map works best.

I'm really getting in to this online. It's so much more fair to play that MW2. Now you can actually win on skill instead of winning by being the most obnoxious motherfucker on the planet.
I hate the amount of disconnects and host migrations... WTF is that all about. And when it disconnects i think you should GET the points you earned up to that point.
There is work to be done, but the basics are a lot nicer to play that in MF2 imo.

I don't have the game but I suggest you trying to enable uPnP on your router if you haven't already, that should be opening/closing ports as needed. If you have uPnP enabled then maybe it's the party leader who hasn't?
If for some reason enabling uPnP fails (it shouldn't) Google how to DMZ your PS3 using a router. If your router doesn't support uPnP or DMZ then maybe it's time to buy a new one.
Hope it helps since no one bothered to reply you in the last 10 pages or so :lol
Well, I'm not talking about high level clan play since you won't find that in a public list anyway, but it's pretty easy (once they get the spawns fixed) to hold a side. If you go to the van, you can peer through it and get a clear line of sight to the middle of the map. Your buddies can take the left and right sides and get a clear line of sight down those areas. Well, one side is obstructed, but you can pick off anyone coming up that way. When you get upstairs, you have an advantage and can really pick off anyone below you or just take out anyone across from you. When they fix the spawns, you can just hold a side and noone will spawn behind you.LordAlu said:Personally (and this is my opinion), I find that every game played on Nuketown devolves into a clusterfuck of people running around all over the place and not trying to use any tactics whatsoever.

Of course, that's just what you COULD do in a team function. My personal preference is have my random teammates distract the enemy and rush down the center with an SMG. Cut through the house, go up the stairs and take everyone out in the house. From there, I go down the back steps, take everyone out in the back, and then proceed to everyone at the mid line. It's actually quite futile to meet up at the center because you get picked off pretty easily. Best thing to do is rush through the center (taking cover and picking off enemies when necessary) and getting kills that way. IMO anyway.
Also, maps don't need to be symmetrical to be equal for both teams.
It is only more difficult to do well if you were a scrub who relied on killstreaks. Now if you can't get the good killstreaks often your score won't be as high as it used to be.
I like this change, but I used to like being able to go from an airstrike to a chopper lol
My clip finally uploaded, took hours. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ1RW5iRWN4 I WAS SWEATING after that game. Had a few chances to get a Sentry Gun destroyed throughout but after much failure I finally did it at 199 points in Domination
