Nooooooooooooooo!! I got the most insane Chopper Gunner I've ever seen, and theater didn't save it! Noooooooo! 
I was sniping on Jungle and by some ridiculous miracle, I actually managed to snipe my way to an 11 killstreak... Launched the dogs and the chopper at the same time and scored literally 50+ kills in a minute!
I'm finding that "locale only" search option just doesn't work at all either. I'm playing against more americans than I am brits or dutch, and that's just all kinds of wrong. I like playing americans, don't get me wrong, but that's just not correct for a "locale only" setting. I should basically never be seeing americans, not have them in every single match I play. MW2 was much better at this after the matchmaking patch, it will never put you with people across the atlantic unless it absolutely has to (i.e. when you're playing at 4:30AM).

Yeah, something seems to messed up in the matchmaking... Did anyone else notice? I find that the game puts me and all the other prestigers in the lobby on one team, then it puts all the newbies who are level 25 non-prestige in the other. The newbie team gets completely fucking demolished, obviously. Where's the team balance?MDavis360 said:

Just finished the Khe Sanh level on Hardened. The game glitched out at the end as we parked the car after destroying the tanks with the TOW (?) missiles. My body left the car with the other dudes but my view point didn't so I ended up watching the conversation from on top of the jeep in infra-red mode since I never got out of it after destroying the 6th tank. So there I was, looking down upon my own headless body, standing around like it was the most normal thing in the world :lol The camera kept swaying around as if Mason was turning his head to look at different people during the conversation. Pretty damn weird.

I was going for Hardened Pro earlier tonight and had just put the last 90 bullets I needed into an Attack Heli. I pulled out Skrela to blast that fool out of the sky when I thought the better of it. Said 'gimme dat neck' to Chopper Dave and took that shit with a well placed Tomahawk throw.
I was yelling so much when it happened and my roommate(who was splitscreen w/ me) was like what the fuck man? So I immediately went to the theater and played it for him. We then smoked a celebratory blunt.. and now I'm just getting finished playing. Blops is ruining my sleep schedule.

Goddamn, just tried this, my KDR increased more in one day using this setup then in the last week. Insane.Maffis said:
Finally got Ghost Pro - had to really grind for it, don't know why, I only equip launchers as my secondary, just took me forever. The grind was pretty tedious, especially since the first lock-on launcher you get only gets one round.
And just for shits and giggles, I replaced Ninja Pro (sound whoring is gone in this game, I guess? Pretty useless if so, for the most part) with Second Chance - not only did I Pro it out in a night, I find it terribly unbalanced and unfair. I lost the gunfight, I should be dead...

Yeah, sound whoring is totally gone. I would never dream of playing MW2 without listening closely to the game sounds, but in Black Ops I can have music blasting in the background and it makes no difference.
And that's my biggest problem with the knife lunge in this game. I wasn't one of the people who complained about Commando in MW2. I hated dying to it, sure, but it was balanced because you could hear them coming from a mile away.

In addition to the official thread, I like this thread because it summarizes the community managers' responses on Twitter.

Agreed. That video singlehandedly changed the way I play Jungle.
I haven't had a game for a couple of days now, had one tonight. Was hoping some of the issues I had would be fixed by now. I play on PS3.
Still freezing, having to reset PS3.
Still being shot around corners.
Still seeing ridiculous knife kills.
Still being disconnected during host migration.
Hit detection, very random.
These where my biggest issues and non of them seem to have been resolved. Having said that, I do enjoy this game and am going to persevere with it. The game can be very frustrating at times though.
How are xbox gamers finding the game, are there many issues with it on the 360?

The barrels section happens as you go down hill. Look for three inconspicuous barrels about halfway down the hill. Run up to them, wait for the prompt, and press X.

I'm on your friend's list dude but I mainly play free for all. Maybe we can do some tdm or something some time.
I was just wondering something: Is it even possible to react to the enemies on Veteran difficulty? It always seems like I'm just playing the same part over and over again until I know where they're coming from to kill them all before they kill me. I'm having fun, but it seems to me like there's no skill involved at all. It's just patience...
snap0212 said:
Yeah, you pretty much poke your head out, immediately get hit, go prone behind cover, regen, hope they're still in the same spot when you pop out again and shoot them.
This installment is particularly bad about giving you a false sense of security with the AI "partners". You would think that if Woods is up ahead of you, it's clear up to his position. But nope. I've seen an enemy stand literally back-to-back with Woods and they just ignore each other.

Any deals on this anywhere besides the bundle?
I need it on 360 since my brother and cousin are playing nightly and I'm trying to keep in touch with them after moving down here to Orlando.

Amazon is selling it for $55 plus a $10 game credit. Not sure what shipping will be like for you though.
Man, it's insane the kind of bad luck you can have in CoD... What are the odds that when you kill someone, he respawns at the other end of the map, lifts his camera up and towards your general direction and tosses an uncooked frag and actually gets you? What are the odds that this happens three times in a single play session, with three different opponents, all of the deaths being buzzkills right before or right after getting a Blackbird?
How much slimmer are the odds when you're actually not a camper so he really didn't know where you'd be, and you did indeed move after killing these guys? I mean, honestly, gods of CoD... cut me some slack here! Three times! Three fucking times! Who do I have to service to get a chopper gunner around here?

DA FUCK??divisionbyzorro said:
I forced my way to a checkpoint by passing that part by getting past the infinite spawns, took me hours after dying so many times! I suck! lol
On another note, a WingsofRedemption response about the Beast Mode video he posted with the terrible player. What a douche nozzle. Love the highest rated comment: "I can't believe your job is to make Call of Duty videos, pretty pathetic. Next year I'll probably be going to Cambridge university and you'll be making COD videos. lol at your fail life."

No, it's just incredibly poorly designed. It's actually rather impressive that you made it past that checkpoint like that.
divisionbyzorro said:
My favorite bad design decision is when you're sneaking into a place with Reznov and he tells you explicitly to stay out of the light, and then "tells" you to kill a guy standing in a spotlight with nothing more than a hand gesture. If you don't do it you "get seen" and fail the mission.

Thanks! But honestly, not being sarcastic when I say that one downhill section took me hours - sunk in at least 3 hours forcing my way down the hill....at the bottom of the hill, I just ran to the right and that "Checkpoint Reached" showed up...definitely a "fuck yeaaaah!" moment for me!divisionbyzorro said:

Wait what? That's what I did too. It took me hours to get past that one part of killing the endless VC... and you could just push some barrels? What is this?NYR said:
Also, anyone sport the M16 with Acog? I feel like I would be screwed in close quarters with it.

tsigo said:
Yep! Definitely failed that one about five times. And each time you have to start all the way from the beginning. :lol
Those two specific moments are the only ones that stick out to me as being bad though. On the whole, I enjoyed the campaign and I thought it told a pretty good story. Definitely better than MW2 and W@W.

Good on that guy.
My take on Ghost is that because killstreaks no longer chain, there's less incentive to take high killstreaks for most people, so there's more people using Spy Plane than used UAV in MW2. This greatly increases the value of Ghost and, I think, makes it the best Perk 1.
Fuck WoR.

Wow. I honestly never feel the reason to ragequit, unless the very beginning of the game is a horrid connection. Sometimes you just get beat, deal with it.
