I think it depends a lot on what mode you play. I usually play Ground War or straight up Domination and it's definitely become worse over time. It's actually pretty rare now that I even go for the first capture point immediately just because you'll can hear the sound of enemy grenades being launched.

Is their any bots gameplay yet?
Sorry if asked before but I wanted to know if there where any gameplay vids up yet.
To see how they play/react to the player.

really? I thought it was on offline vs bots thing?Xater said:
So you have to be online to play vs bots?? that seems strange :O.
And maybe I have missed it but on unranked servers for the pc version how many people can it support?
24? 32?

You have to be online to play combat training because every multiplayer mode has to connect to the servers first before going through. It's been that way for the forseeable past.

ah like that, I thought you could play that totally offline because well it does not rank/progress to anything.Cosmo Clock 21 said:
Thanks for the infocameltoe said:

The way I understand it kinda does influence the progress. I thought this was meant for the first few matches for newcomers to get their feet wet and get some experience points.
Man I am sitting on hot coals here. I switched my orde to ACME to get it earlier, and I am hoping that they sent it out as early as MW2 or Wolfenstein for me so I can paly it on Saturday. :lol
I'm actually glad they're limiting the number of players to 24 on ranked servers, CoD4 and W@W are damn-near unplayable with 20+ people (much less 40+ on most public TDM servers) since the maps are so god damn small and were clearly built with no more than 12 players in mind. That was actually my one and only worry about picking up the PC version; chiefly I was concerned over 20+ player Wager matches :lol
Anyway, my hype for the game has reached such a fever pitch that I actually canceled my Amazon pre-order for the PC version and just said "fuck it" and grabbed the Steam version and pre-loaded it. I didn't want Tuesday to come and me to be tapping my foot waiting for the UPS guy to arrive.
*edit:
Now that I think about it, Treyarch is putting more work into making the PC version of BO a distinctly genuine version of the game than they ever did with WaW or IW did with any CoD since Call of Duty 2.
Many props are given to them for not trying to shove a direct console port down the PC audience's throats.

As I understood it, its an offline with bots mp totally suppurate mode that you can play with local and online friends.Xater said:
It does not contribute to your "normal" progress at all.
I loved playing 40 players MW1 shipment free for all, god I leveled like 10 levels in a few hours. :lol :lol :lolLoxley said:

Dobble post sorry !

Will leaning return in the PC version?
DavidVo
Yes. On Q and E by default with a procedural lean. It looks great and works really great in hardcore modes if you ask me.
OMG!
Lamonte
is FOV changeable in the pc version?.
DavidVo
Yes it is. The last time I looked at it personally you could take it to 80.

For me anyhow, the video confirms that my main class will typically be using the flak jacket perk and then my anti-air class will be the Ghost class for knocking down the air support.-Pyromaniac- said:
Is there any movement penalty with using the flak jacket?
-Pyromaniac-

I play search and destroy only so Flak looks like what I will use as well. Figure I'll be running into lots of claymores and whatnot. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think there is a speed penalty or anything.BigBlue1974 said:

According to vonderhaars twitter, flak jacket no longer gives you a speed penalty. He also mentioned it works in hardcore as well.

I'm such a child. Cancelled my Amazon order as well and I just re-pre-ordered with Best Buy with in-store pickup. I know for a fact I'd be smashing my head into the wall waiting for UPS on Tuesday. Now I'll just get up at 8:45AM and drive to Best Buy. What is wrong with me?

2 great answers with one post.Lionheart1827 said:
I think it's going to wind up meaning that Flak Jacket is the new Stopping Power in terms of how often it's in use. The disadvantage is you lose out on the invisibility to air support, but I think that will just mean everyone will have that Anti-Air class waiting to be used.
This might even mean people actually stop running around with the launchers period because even if you fire it off and connect, you still now have to switch to another gun or back to regular fire to finish your opponent off which won't be as fast as just shooting them in the first place.

I disagree, now that stopping power is gone (best decision ever) I don't see any real (dis)advantages in all the other perks in the tier 1 category.
I'll propably end up not using marathon, but the other 4 are equally useful to me.

so flak jacket is simply juggernaut for splosions

In the US, but yeah, same. Had it preordered from Amazon and took Tuesday off. Then immediately thought that UPS probably wouldnt be by until later in the day, canceled, and then preordered at GS.

Wat.
Grenades/stickys are not at MW1 levels anymore. I suppose it'll be especially useful in objective games where people tend get their noobtubes off but there's nothing to stop people from resorting to bullets. I'd certainly not call it overpowered, more 'works as intended'.

If we still had infinite OMA grenade launchers, then it would be one of the best perks in the game. But with grenade launchers being nerfed back to normal, there's no reason to be so resistant to explosions.buy teh haloz said:

But unless the majority of your kills are from explosives, it isn't really going to effect you that much. And it was obviously not to bad in WaW.Koroshi said:
