I'm mad because people play the game correctly.
I like how the default reply to anything is accusing the poster of being angry. And they obviously weren't playing the game right because they were getting destroyed so badly.

Far out, I think I hate team mates.

Just played a game of TDM, where I went 41-10, and somehow my team managed to lose. The 5 of them couldn't even manage 20 freaking kills between them.

So being somewhat frustrated I left that lobby and searched again. Next game.. 42-8 and again we lose. HOW. HOW DO YOU NOT GET MORE KILLS I PUT UP 3 BLACKBIRDS YOU DUMBASSES.


Had to vent..

I think it's wonderful that so many in the Black Ops community are willing to shoot shit down. It's a godsend, even.

I use Ghost Pro pretty much all the time and I still always try to shoot stuff down because it helps my team. I don't know what the complaining is about.

Yep. Strela-3 will always be my secondary. If I feel I might walk into a huge firefight, I try to swap it out for another AR/SMG though.

Shooting down air support is such an important part of my playstyle.

I don't get where people think I was complaining. I had 3 chopper gunners so I had at least a decent match. If you don't think a team sucks when they give up 3 chopper gunners to one person I don't know what to tell you guys.

They might have been bad to let you have 3 CGs, but they did try to shoot you down. You have to give them that, at the very least.

Sorry, I think I was picking up more on other responses to your post than your actual post. No hard feelings.

It is worth noting that, while not a "noob," I do suck pretty hard at this game and that is a big part of why I use Ghost Pro. :lol

There's nothing "noob" about using a perk that makes you invisible to all air support (except the SR-71).

cuevas might just be butthurt that he couldn't make a totally sweet CG killstreak video.

I HATE Ghost users, 9/10 people who camp are also wearing that ghillie suit. While not all Ghost users are campers, all campers are Ghost users.

I also hate it when I have a UAV up, go on an aggressive offensive, only to be caught out by the 1 guy using Ghost on theyre team... RAGE. :lol

I thought Ghost Pro made you invisible to all aircraft, even the Blackbird.

Nope. That's what makes the Blackbird so amazing!

I hate to say it but I feel like they should move Blackbird to 9 and make you choose between it and Chopper Gunner. 9's the only level that doesn't have two choices, and anyone who chooses the Bomber over Blackbird is a god damned idiot.

How is the PC version of Black Ops? I would prefer to get that one(off of Steam), but if it's FUBAR'd I will probably go PS3. Any opinions from PC owners would be greatly appreciated.

I am running a Quad Core 2.6, 2 GB Ram, XP, and 8800GT if that makes any sort of difference. It seems to meet minimum specs.

Given that it says "avoid targeting from aircraft" and that the SR-71 is, to the best of my knowledge, aircraft, I figured I was totally invisible at all times (since I typically use a suppressed weapon). They should specify that "aircraft" does not include the Blackbird.

Targeting means weapons targeting (from just the AI controlled Attack Chopper, the Chopper Gunner and Gunship are controlled by the player). The Blackbird doesn't really target anyone, just reveals your location and direction.

But I could see the confusion.

Yeah, it is pretty confusing. What makes things even worse is it doesn't avoid targeting from all aircraft either, the chopper gunner can see you just fine and I'm sure it's the same with the attack chopper.

The Cobra definitely does not target you if you have Ghost Pro equipped. I saw proof of that in the same YouTube video proving that the Blackbird CAN see you.

I wish there was a demo you could test. I could tell you that the game is great and that I get 81fps on average, but that wouldn't be fair because my computer is better. Also, the game is Steamworks, so it'll always register to your acct. Find yourself a deal if you plan on picking it up.

My bad, I meant the helicopter that the player controls, not the Cobra.

Too many helicopters in this game.

Try launching the B52 on Nuketown - it's got above 90% map coverage on Nuketown and of course hiding on the 1st floor of the building doesn't help. Keep in mind too, bombing type killstreaks have application in objective game based modes. Napalm is probably the best of the three due to its low KS requirements, and Mortar Team is probably the worse - even on Nuketown, it doesn't seem to be that effective.

I must be the luckiest person in the world then because I haven't died from a single Chopper Gunner or Gunship since I unlocked Ghost Pro and I stand out in the open shooting them down with the Strella.

Just because you are missing the red diamond doesn't mean they can't and won't shoot you sometimes.

Yup. Ghost Pro means no red diamond. Of course in an objective mode, such as Demo, where you spawn in the same areas over and over, you can expect to die anyway as soon as a teammate spawns nearby. Some people are just good with the choppers, hence why they use them in the first place :lol

I do miss the AC-130, though :[

Fuck you! The bomber kicks ass. I love wiping out the whole team in a round of Search. And one time I killed everyone on Firing Range including my teammates. It was worth it.

Maybe it doesn't. I know when I get Chopper Gunner the whole map is lit up, even though almost every player has Ghost on in most of the matches I play. Maybe none of them have pro. For a while I was zooming in to pick out people who weren't being tracked, but it was a teammate every time so I stopped.

I've also got shot a bunch from the gunners even though I always have Ghost Pro on. Like you said, they could have gotten lucky though.

The Uzi just needs some decent iron sights. I can almost play as well with a slienced uzi as I did in CoD4, but the Iron sights are just terrible, so I either rely on steady aim hipfire or just hope to god I hit what I aim at with the iron sights.

The recoil's still quite a bit more than the other SMGs with the same rate of fire and damage. There's quite a few guns that just have worse stats for no real reason.

The bots in combat training are cheating pricks.

Just had to throw that out there.

especially if they have sniper rifles.

and unfortunately it means that in the game code there is aimbot code somewhere.

Not just aimbot, they always know where you are. They try to hide it by having some enemies completely ignore you from time to time, but I can be hiding in a strange spot and three of them will storm my area in a minute. Their reaction time is insane as well, it makes watching the killcams pretty entertaining.

I still enjoy the combat training to play with guns I don't normally touch, but those are some cheating bots.

Just admit the fact that you hated that those "Ghost Pro noobs" shot your chopper down three times. You know you want to.

While I share the 'Cuevas is a moron' sentiment, I think he was getting at the fact that his opponents must have needed their Ghost Pro upgrade, because they allowed him to get his 3 CG's but then shot them down immediately.

I can't seem to get the game run properly on my PC. Yes I know I got a HD 2950 pro, but it should be able to handle mid to low- graphics/resolution right?

The Bomber is very powerful. Love getting killed while I'm hold up in a building :lol

A fair bit better than it was in MW2. You're more likely to die even when under cover. At least it seems that way.
