I know this is might be a non-issue to you guys, but I REALLY hate the way the suppressors sound in this game. (Yeah, I know COD non-real, etc). There are very few rifles TODAY that sound that quiet let alone in the 1960s. It really bothers me. I mean even the Assault Rifles sound like pea shooters.

I feel the exact opposite. The sound is pretty much the only thing Treyarch got right with this game. Suppressors sounded way too loud in the previous CoD iterations. I feel that they did a pretty nice job this time around with the silencer sound.TacticalFox88 said:
Did Treyarch mess something up for PS3 users? I am reading about some users like myself who have had problems playing after the 1.04 patch. It seems like they screwed something up, and now I am forever stuck with a strict connection until they fix this issue. Anyone else having this problem?

I got Black Ops for christmas, and Im loving the MP so far. 2 questions though:
1) Is there an option to mute everybody at once? Halo had this feature, and I find it really handy. I dislike hearing anybody when I play.
2)Is there a 'noob-friendly' class layout I can use? I dont really know what perks are considered useful, and what are garbage. I was using Ninja for awhile, but I never melee people so I dont know if I should use it.

I'm talking about pure looks. The guns are extremely useful, but just look ugly and unpolished to me.divisionbyzorro said:

Ninja is useless in this game, Hacker is by far the best green perk.
Most of my layouts are Ghost, Sleight of Hand, and Hacker with an assault rifle with dual mags. Dual mags give you additional ammo on top of every odd reload being super fast. You can't go wrong with dual mags on any gun. I also use Flak jacket on objective games and when teams are running RC cars.
What level are you? You have alot more freedom after level 20 or so, by then you'll have accumulated enough cash to experiment with guns and equipment to find out what fits you.

Yeah, just use Napalm Strike._Alkaline_ said:
And with regards to ugly guns, the G11 looks pretty ugly in real life too.
MattPeters said:
You have access to two of the best weapons in the game in the Galil and AK74u. I like using the Galil with a suppressor and Warlording the AK74u with rapid fire and grip (along with 85% of the population of this game apparently). You also get access to the AUG which is my most used weapon all around.

Have to agree. Weapons looks pretty rad IMHO. Especially love the strap accents as you don't see them in ...well really any FPS's period. Nice artistic touch even if it's impractical/unrealistic.
It's fun!

I now present my NEW "worst knife death ever"
I'm killed by a melee from someone in another room. Several feet away, through a wall, their clear case of lag explains it all.

They really need to tweak the AK74u down.

RSTEIN said:
It's one side being prestiged and the other not that is really screwed up there. No matching to get the lobby populated is one thing. Once people are gathered they should be able to even the teams better though.
What I don't get is that there is a prestige bracket right to search for matches that is unlocked when you prestige for the very first time? Why aren't those people that are prestige playing in that? Isn't there a reason for it to exist or do they simply look for easy kills by knowing they'll be matched with lower ranked players that don't play as much as them?

So was I. They look totally awesome. I think the gun designs in this game are excellent across the board.
MarkMclovin said:
I'd actually argue that they need to tweak the other SMGs up. The AK74u and the MP5 are the only SMGs worth even considering. The others can be useful at times, but only with Extended Mags and Scavenger (which means you can't use Lightweight). As it stands now, if they tweaked the 74u down, there'd be almost no reason to use SMGs at all.

Anybody have any tips on how to be a better player? How to get killstreaks more often, etc.

Put ghost on, get a gun with a silencer, put motion sensor down, and just wait for people as you sit in a room.Dax01 said:

Yeah, I stay as far away as possible from all manners of v-sync/triple-buffering on Call of Duty games.Ogs said:

What's your current set up?
I run the following:
Weapon: Galil + supressor (IMO the best assault rifle--perhaps weapon--in the game)
Perks:
Ghost Pro
Sleight of Hand Pro
Last Stand Pro (Don't listen to GAF, great for Team Deathmatch)
For perks it really depends on you play the game. There is no right or wrong answer. Do you like to run and gun? Well then you may want Lightweight/Steady Aim/Marathon. I consider myself a tactical, mid range player. A Gaffer I play with likes to run around with a suppressed shotgun. I could never do that but it works great for him.
As far as playing the game, IMO it's really all about managing the spawn locations. Get to know where the enemies spawn. It's a fairly dynamic spawn system but it's easy to get a feel for where the enemy will spawn. Look how your team is spread out around the map and then find the 'hole' and more often or not that's where the enemy is located. If you just run out to the middle you're going to get killed. Lock down the enemy at key choke points.
Take Jungle, for example. A key spawn area is the ruins beside the village (where one team spawns at the start of the match) . If you're in the village, you can control this spawn point fairly easily. There are two arches that the enemy has to go through to get to the village. I can't tell you how many people I've killed just waiting for them to spawn and run to the village. The other day I went 44-4 with two Chopper Gunners just by managing this spawn area. Treat the enemy like cattle and try to herd them into these spawn areas.

First thing is to learn the maps. Know where to go, and from there, try to find out where most of the action tends to take place. Most maps have a few sections where the majority of gunfights take place. Follow team-mates to get aquainted with these areas.
The key to getting killstreaks is knowing where enemies will be and finding the right spot to pick these people off. These are known as 'choke points.' The way spawning works, if you find someone coming towards you chances are one or two other enemies will be right near him. This also means you should find adequete protection, so use cover when needed. Also keep in mind is that the general rule in COD is that if you have a lot of green arrows (teammates) on one side, the enemies will be on the other side. Enemies rarely spawn near your teammates, so try to look into areas that your teammates aren't in and you should find some recently spawned enemies.
Even if you find a great choke point, eventually you will likely be overwhelmed and die, so try to get as many kills as possible before this happens (situational awareness and proactive movement will help keep you alive as well - if you were in a corner and killed an enemy, don't stay in that corner because it's the first place they will look next time and more often than not they'll down you.) Don't camp, but don't run right into danger areas either. Try to stay on the sides - this increases your field of view as well as removing the possibility of being shot/stabbed from behind.
Keep killstreaks low until you become more confident. Spy Plane/Counter Spy Plane(or SAM)/Care Package is an excellent combo - it helps the team and also rewards you with some likely kills. Don't be tempted by the RC. Sure, you might get one kill with it, but you'll probably get 2 or 3 with the spy plane (not to mention the rest of your team). Plus the RC leaves you open to the enemy. I still use the above combo most of the time and I'm on my sixth prestige. If you like, chuck hardline on and in 2 kills you'll have a spy plane.
Use cover. Try to aim down the sights whenever possible except for extreme close-quarters action. Have a pistol as a secondary to whip out when you need to reload but don't have the time. Many maps have cars - throw grenades at these for greater explosions. Position claymores so that enemies run into the lasers, but also so that the lasers can't be seen until it's too late. Don't fire at an enemy if they're about to exit your vision - they'll turn around and you're ikely to die. Tap the trigger at longer distances to reduce recoil. Avoid climbing obstacles if enemies are nearby. Don't put yourself in a gunfight if you're still healing from damage - you'll die instantly.
Use assault rifles first. They're easy to control with little recoil and good range. Once you feel comfortable with something like the Galil or Famas, then feel free to move onto other assaults rifles or SMGs (which lack the range of rifles but have superior close quarters ability).

Great advice!
divisionbyzorro said:
This. The other SMG's just plain suck. If they nerf the AK74u, I will almost never use an SMG.
I have used all of the guns and I like several of the Assault rifles. The AK74u is the only SMG that I feel can hold it's own.
Dax01 said:
Two things that I didn't mentioned that helped me: 1) If your primary is mid-long range, grab a short range weapon off a corse for a secondary (and vice versa) 2) Approach every corner assuming there is something dangerous on the other side.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm currently running with a lot of different set ups, each with different guns and perks. In CoD I never feel like running around with the same type of perks.
Edit: I do have Warlord so I can have a red dot and silencer on my M16 and my Galil. I think I do better when I have a silencer.
