ESRB is not a rating system on who can PLAY games, it is a rating system on who can BUY games.

I've always thought that it was also to advise parents on whether something is appropriate for their children to play, if you let your children watch an 18 rated film then you pretty much know that its going to have either pornography/ graphical violence or extreme language, same as if you buy a game that is rated for 21+ you as a parent would have to think why is it rated that high and should I be exposing my child to this game?

Im not saying what these people are doing is right and that they shouldn't be reported, just that the whole bypassing the fact that parents are allowing their children to play these games whether they purchased it for them or not is a bit naive.

Judging a parent for letting their kid play a violent video game isn't fair. How their kid reacts and acts to the material and what they encounter online says a lot more about their parenting than just letting their kids play the game or not.

What's your beef with Second Chance Pro?

1) If you're not using it then you're missing out. As Ninja is pretty much useless in this game as compared to MW2

2) If you're sick of losing kills to it, shoulda killed me before my pistol killed you.

Not to sound like a dick, but it isn't hard to kill someone in SC if you're paying attention.

Yeah I've been using Ninja and it sucks compared to MW2. Think I'll switch it tonight and see If I have more success b/c I was much better at MW2

Not to sound like a dick, but that perk is for pussies.

People using it always have the same animation as they transition to laying on the ground so it's not hard to anticipate it. On hardcore they can kill you with one pistol shot though so you have to be truly pro.

How would a parent know how their child might react to a game that deals with adult material?

You might think you know but would you want to take the risk of causing your child harm by letting them play something that has been deemed by a government agency to deal with issues a child may not be able to comprehend?

Im not a parent so I can't really go into this, just feels like its a very fine line.

Do it! I've learned a ton from watching LeMaxamilion's game....always looking for more suggestions.

XBox Live comes with a Terms of Agreement which you must agree to, which Black Ops runs on. Steam has a Terms of Agreement which you must agree to, which Black Ops runs on. PSN comes with a Terms of Agreement which you must agree to, which Black Ops runs on.

Pretty sure all of these prohibit the exposure of other users to whatever forms of genitalia people enjoy viewing/creating.

It's not much but it definitely shows you an error the devs had and how you can exploit the system. Like I've said before, I'm above average and you can really wreck the opposing team with it. I won't be home for a long time still, so it'll be later tonight at the earliest.

In regards to posting videos:
Does the video actually upload from your system or is it rendered by a central server and then uploaded? I have a terrible connection so it would take me awhile to upload from my system.

I find it odd that with Black Ops 3/4 of my FL will be playing but no one is playing together. Everyone's on different modes and maps. In contrast, the BC2 group from GAF all generally join each other's games. MW2 was the same way as BO, seems to encourage lone wolf behavior. :lol

edit: it'd be really nice if BO had squads and squad spawn.

I have a habit of getting into situations where I'm confronted by several opponents. Second Chance often thwarts me of triple/quad sprays, and I often end up losing the kill to a team-mate.

Also, I'm using marathon pro on every single one of my classes. Couldn't do without it.

Not having squad spawn is such a travesty. BC2 sure did spoil me. I've found it funny too that I have yet to play more than a single game with anyone on my FL. I either join their game when it's already full, or I get disconnected. Blargh!

Is my computer so light that can't even play Black ops in 60FPS?

Specs:

Nvidia Geforce GTS 250
Core 2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2,93 Ghz
4GB RAM

I trixed with the graphics-settings but its never 60FPS no matter how low the settings are.

It's because when you search with a large party, it takes 30 minutes to find a game where everyone in the party gets in.

Ok. Having serious issues with the PC version.

I got the game on launch day-no problems. After a bit of play, while running COD, my internet get's disconnected and it happens way to often.

I did some searching and from what I can gather, it's overloading my router (Dlink Dir-655). I tried plugging my modem (Actiontec M1000) directly into my PC and still have the same issues. I guess my modem is getting "overloaded" too.

Any suggestions?

Has anybody been able to make the NeoGaf Emblem???

I think somebody previously in this thread did it, but I just want the ball, not the white background.

Also, the emblem editor is a POS, glorified stamp editor.

.................... :yes im mad I cant make anything awesome with it :(

PS. Nimrod, your bit trip runner emblem is amazing.

Anybody going trough the campaign on Veteran? I warn you that on the level ''Numbers'' the end part (
Hudson in the back of the truck with only a gun
) that part is also ''turned up''. Its fucking brutal.

Anyone try to make the 8bit Price emblem from MW2 yet? I may give that a try when I unlock all the layers. It may be too complex a picture without some creative trickery to achieve this though. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be that much diversity in general shapes to use. Instead we get a ton of gun and armor silhouettes that don't have much use. Perhaps DLC will tack on more with the map packs.... and hopefully add multiple emblem save slots.

Patch will probably hit before weekend.

Are you referring to the ESRB? Because that is not a government agency.

I made the neogaf emblem with an alien in the top right, and a samurai mask in the bottom left.

I don't think that's the problem though. Second Chance has a double benefit. Not only do you get a Second Chance, your opponent spends more time trying kill you. I can't count the number of times this has screwed me. I played a game last night where it cost me a chopper gunner. I got the jump on two guys, both had SC on. Before I could finish them off a third guy wasted me. Absolutely ridiculous. If I shoot enough times to kill someone, THEY DO NOT DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE. This perk should not be in the game.

Second chance pro is the shit. I've been downed 6 times in one life without dying. Also, using a pistol with extended mag helps. Fuck the haters

Yea, the majority of the time the person kills you as soon as you drop but if someone reloads too early or can't aim it can make for some epic moments. Especially in games like Search, people are more likely to revive in that playlist since an extra body is worth more than Demo/Team/Dom.

Literally, I would rather have someone I love tap me in the nuts repeatedly with a ball-peen hammer, than play this game on Veteran. Thanks for the warning though.

Can't you just use the video guide and just leave out the white ring layer to get the emblem without the white background?

Two fucking turrets disappear right in front of my FUCKING EYES!

Then the next level I accidentally start with the wrong class and get to knife a turret.

But they aren't dead. Change the way you play to fit the game instead of QQ'ing.
 
Here's something that's not really a spoiler, but I'll tag it just in case since it's sort of fun to figure out on your own.

So you're able to leave your chair in the main menu. After you get up you're able to access a computer, I'm pretty sure it's how you unlock the third zombie game. Any tips on what to do? The text on the screen is really hard to read.

Oh, and you can also play Zork. Maybe this is all common knowledge, but I haven't heard anyone talk about it yet.

type DOA for dead ops arcade and zork for zork ;)

There are a few other commands to unlock but they're just for zombie mode and all intel. You get the zombie map for beating the SP portion. Notice that once you use those codes for zombies and intel and save, you can't undo them. You will forever lose the ability to get the all intel achievement/trophy.

You didn't deserve the chopper gunner.
 
In reference to second chance pro. I earned my team a draw instead of a loss with it last night. Felt good. Enemy player literally was looking at me on the ground like a deer in the headlights he shouldn't have done that.

Try sucking less.

In all seriousness it may be a little cheap, but the pro version makes it the absolute best 3rd perk, and if you're not using it you're just hurting yourself.

As to not being able to kill people in SC, that perk has been there since MW1, so 4 years now. If you're not able to cope with it by now, then you deserve to be killed by it.

Thanks. I was worried I needed to hunt out a username and password from the files hidden in there, and the text is barely readable on my TV.

I did beat the SP but there's still a third locked zombie map. I assumed this was how I unlocked it.

No problem. I just found the codes on gamefaqs.com otherwise I wouldn't have known about them either. The two games you talked about are fine to use the codes for though. It's the other ones that will deny you achievements/trophies.

hmm...a third locked one? I had no idea. I thought the only locked map was just the one you played when you beat the game. I've learned 2 new things today.

Here are all of the codes for the terminal:
Activates Dead Ops Arcade : DOA
Displays a list of system commands in the terminal and Pentagon user e-mail access. : HELP
FI FIE FOE : FOOBAR
Get to root of directory and see all codes : cd .. [enter] cd .. [enter] cd bin [enter] ls [enter]
Gives a list of audio files and pictures which you can open with the CAT command (e.g. CAT NoteX.txt) : DIR
Gives a list of login names for use with the RLOGIN function (but they require a password) : WHO
It will list all of your audio files and pictures : CAT
To LIst a directory (same as DIR but for LINUX) : LS
To view a file in a directory using the TYPE command : TYPE "NAMEOFFILE.EXTENSION"
Unlocks all Intel in the game for viewing : 3ARC INTEL
Unlocks Dead Ops Arcade and Presidential Zombie Mode : 3ARC UNLOCK
Unlocks Zork I: The Great Underground Adventure (a text adventure game from 1980) for play in Black Ops : ZORK
Virtual Therapist Software : Alicia

Second Chance would be fine if I didn't have to unload my entire clip into their chest to kill them. Then I have to reload and they kill me with one pistol shot to the foot.
