so it seems that DenKirson has updated his Black Ops charts:
http://denkirson.xanga.com/735016527/black-ops/
There's a flash comparison version as well as information regarding reload times, recoil, etc, with certain attachments.

:lol Why did they remove the option to mute people in the lobby? Do they not know the kind of morons who play this game?
Edit: Randomly the option is back. Their menus are so broken.
Edit 2: I see. When you're getting the "Backing out of a player card shows your friends list" bug, it won't show the mute option. It will when you're not getting that. Broken menus.

I think it would be better if the gun had higher damage. But they nerfed everything but sub machine guns and assault rifles.TestOfTide said:
just loaded a bot match with the new shader option enabled ... start of the match still crappy 40ish fps for no reason, some stuttering as well
but behold! after about a minute or so it did 80~90 fps for most of the match, except for some dips to 65ish
GTX 480, Athlon II X4 3.5ghz , 1080p max settings
acceptable? barely, but it seems playable now so I guess I'm sorta happy =] hell the "smoothness" makes it feel like a different game at times :lol
fake edit: 1080p max and 720p all settings minimum/off still have the exact same fps, but that fps limit is now almost twice as high as pre-patch. Still terrible optimization though

So what's the deal with the ACOG? The lens is dark as hell making it hard to see what you're aiming at and the recoil is nuts. Any good way to use it or should I just avoid it?

M16 + ACOG is pretty cheap if you ask me
The ACOG also can be use on the python to allow for 50 damage at longer distances.
And the other good use is to use it on the WA2000 because of the gun's low recoil.

I think you're referring to my post, and now JD (over on the official forums) is saying that rumor was unfounded and NOT to delete your save data. Their claim is that a recent "hot fix" should improve the game. They're also supposedly working on other hot fixes. Either way, it sounds like we're still far from smooth sailing with this game on PS3.

I just prestiged for the second time and went 4-24 on my first match. Unbelievable. One match later I bought a suppressor and went 22-2. What a difference that thing makes. I feel useless without it.

Absolutely not. I do run every build with a suppressor though, so unless there is an SR71 above (I will shoot down spy planes as announced) I expect to disappear from radar.
I've just gotten so used to it that I end up getting mowed down every 10 seconds when I don't have it.

I realise I'm in the minority, but I fuking love this game, and it seemingly loves me. :lol
Just finished a game 33 - 0 on TDM Firing Range. Was rolling Blackbird, Chopper Gunner, Dogs. Got my first eight kills quickly and from there, it was all she wrote. The dogs/cg took me to 33 and I got the final killcam kill with a satisfying headshot.
I have to say, if you can put in the hard yards and get your first 8 kills, Blackbird/CG/Dogs is BRUTUAL. I can't imagine EVER losing a game if I get my 8 kill-streak. Blackbird basically guarantees three kills for the puppies, and with the dogs rushing around distracting people on the ground, my CG has free reign to absolutely destroy the opposition.
I'm by no means a brilliant player, but that set-up has really turned games and greatly improved my success. I'm only a 1.7kd at the moment, but I feel a flat 2 will be little work.
I feel for the guys suffering while playing, but I am having a brilliant time playing. No lag, no stuttering, instant matchmaking, host migration always works, hit detection has improved and it all feels rather balanced.
Great job Treyarch! :lol

Clearly, the game seems to be temperemental. If you're on 360 and live in Australia, fire her up, there's fun times ahead. :lol
Anyway, noticed they've added a section to the initial multiplayer start screen, called 'Store'. Let's you bypass the Xbox menu shit and buy avatar clothing and themes in-game. It's still horrifically over-priced, but I'm sure someone appreciates it.

I got some straight up hate messages last night. Apparently it's not okay if I'm "camping" and get called a bitch when I killed this dude who ran right past me (1st round he was on the other team, playing HC S&D). But every time I was watching his screen when we were on the same team he was "camping" all over the place.
Fucking whiny xbox live people. Camping is totally a legit strategy anyway. :[

The PS3 version actually worked for a little while but now it's back to the same old BS. Five attempts now and every one didn't get past the lobby. It just counts down to the start of the match and sits there when it reaches zero. After a couple of second it just says lobby closed.
What a mess. I hope it doesn't take them a month to get this fixed, that certification stuff makes me worried we're going to have to deal with this for a while.

He's good, I wasn't trying to say he isn't. Most people will only put up their best matches though instead of putting up a shitty match and showing how they got fucked. But anyone who actually cares about competition would not be playing objective modes in matchmaking.
Here is a video of a demo from a PC compares to the theater mode replay. What the server sees and what you see are completely different, so with consoles where the delay will be worse you get people raging about getting killed around corners.

So, this past weekend, I think I just randomly decided that I would be good at this game.
Weekly K/D jumped up to the 3.5 range, which is pretty excellent. Haven't played worse than a 1.5 K/D in a little over than a week. This is all in TDM, mind you.
I think it's just that I really started to learn the different maps and spawn points. Loving this game now that I'm good at it.

just like the above, every MOTHERFUCKING game counts down and then game lobby closed. treyarch had the cheek to post that patch process thread on the official cod forums as well explaining how a patch gets approved.
they said its first "rigorously" tested by Treyarch, and then handed over to Sony for more testing. How the fuck did you miss the fact that game lobby closes all the time

I really hate that. It's happened to me plenty of times before their latest patch. Nothing worse than hanging in a TDM lobby, the countdown gets to zero then boom, lobby closed/disconnected.iNvidious01 said:
Times like this makes me wish Treyarch had included TDM Express. At least it's a shorter wait between matches. TDM Express was one of my favorite modes in MW2. Super quick, in and out.
Here's a new one. Started on Hanoi. I go 3-0 to start. Spy plane up. Get two more kills. Napalm in the air. Get 8 kills. 9 kills. 11. 13. 14. Then I'm thinking... wait a minute, where's my kill streak reward? I start thinking oh shit was I playing around with Chopper Gunner/Dogs and forgot to actually choose one? Then on kill 15 I'm awarded my Chopper Gunner. WTF? Anyone ever have this happen?

Killstreaks don't stack, only bullets from your gun/knife count towards your kill streak. Maybe that's the problem?RSTEIN said:

I played a few 360 games last night and it seemed a little less laggy after the patch. But, I still didn't have much fun. With Amazon offering $39 trade-in (which is $3 more than I paid) and BC2:Vietnam on Tuesday, I just can't be bothered to keep it.

Also thinking the patch really helped with putting all players on equal ground. I've had some prestiges where I've been completely stuck and had not moved any on K/D or W/L, but over the past week I've been making slow progression. BO is annoying as hell at times but it's getting better I feel.
What still needs work is lobby balancing. Mostly out of boredom I look at the lobby leaderboard before every game but also to see what kind of players I'm up against. I'm not bragging but I'll usually be in the top one or two spots. Then there will be some players between 1.5-1x then drop off. So one time there was me and two people who had kdrs close to me. Everyone else sucked. I said in my mind watch the game put all three of us on one team... and yup we were. It was total annihilation.
The match ends and everyone is back in the lobby. At THIS point you'd think there would be some background calculations going on concluding that given the score of the last game and the current kdr imbalance the teams need to be switched up. Nope... virtually exact same teams next round :lol
The game feels way better since the patch. Very happy.

Game definitely seems much better post patch. I've only had one match with bad kills out of some dozen. Still need to marathon the game this weekend to know for sure.
