So people that actully have it for pc is it worth to buy it still? Hows the graphics? Gameplay? stuff like that
Graphics are pretty good, on par with mw2. Gameplay feels like a clusterfuck on occassion and the enemy AI are dumb as fuck, but other than that.
its because the m40 receives a 5 point base damage boost when equipped with an acog scope. i dont know why the FUCK anybody thought that was a good idea, and i would wager nobody did since the m40 is the only gun that gets that benefit.Quote:

on the topic of blackops, how is it so far? i mean im sure its going to take a little time for the novelty of the new stuff to wear off, but im interested to see opinions and comparisons to mw2 and cod4 in terms of gameplay, balance issues, and perks/attachments. im particularly curious to see how the new stuff in mp works out. did they finally figure out how to make a shotgun correctly?
Wow, I finally like CoD again.
Wow have times changed. Infinity Ward used to be the studio that made the good games and Treyarch made the terrible extensions, now IW makes a shitty first game and Treyarch makes its extension better than the base game.
Other then the fact my xbox is breaking its self from the inside out and I can no longer play BO on my only xbox, Black Ops has made it on my favorite list of the top 3 games ever.
Given you're not the type of person to pull this shit, I'd say give it a week until all of the overcompetitive profags find and abuse the fuck out of every glitch and nuance to break the game's design, flow, and pacing, leaving us with Modern Warfare 2.25.Quote:

But, consider this: if you ran into the fray with a bolt-action, high caliber sniping rifle and attempted to noscope headshot people in the real world, you'd be dead for being a colossal retard. If you attempted to quickscope, you'd probably end up driving the scope into your eye socket.
The whole point of sniping is to provide long-distance suppression. Anyone crying about a game that takes out elements that promote the use of snipers at close range (e.g. small interiors with no real long hallways) is simply retarded and should head back to Modern Warfare 2, Counter-Strike, or any "realism" shooter.
So I quit my bitchin and bought the game and it isnt as bad as I thought it would be.
Oh snap..
I'm still undecided if I want to buy it, I'm really not interested in the MP side, so the full price just for SP is pretty steep. Also the fact I want to buy Fifa 11, and NBA Jam when it comes out, money is getting scarce!
considering AC:brotherhood is coming out in like 7 days, im saving for that. ill give it 2 months, see what people are saying, and if blackops is really THAT great id have no problem trading mw2 in for what i hope would be a decent amount of credit toward it.
see what im really waiting for isnt so much the game breaking nuances (and im sure there will be plenty), but rather the 10th prestige hackers and the aimbots and wallhacks and whatever else.
Game has already been out for a full day and my brother tells me some prick is already prestige. I smell a Jtag...or some loser with no life.
i meant to ask this before, but that whole "monthy subscription fee to play" thing for blackops was just a made up load of shit, right? i mean for pc, not on 360 or psn.
Who'd have thought a CoD game could also be a mindfuck.
One of the top 5 games of the year for me.
It's some loser with no life, trust me it's easy to rank up in this game.Quote:

That is way to overpowered. Now people will be abusing the living hell out of this game now.
Anyone see Bungie's twitter? Treyarch sent Bungie a care package full of copies of Black Ops lolz
It's a trap Bungie! They just did that so they could use those numbers towards how many copies were sold.
I heard Black Ops was promoting Halo stuff at some of the midnight releases.
Used a buddies account and the game is so annoying right now. Me and sfx try to find the same server on the list for like 30 minutes, finally realize they use some in game inviting system even though the game has steamworks and VAC, why the fuck would they do this.
Also being able to run BC2 on med-high settings with no lag and MW2 on high with good fps, this game lags and stutters like shit when set to even the lowest settings. Game even D/Cs me with connection interrupted on 3 different servers. Not interested unless they do some major patching.
I told you this game runs like shit on PC. :saddowns:
r_multithreaded_device command is auto set to 0, set it to 1 if you have a multi-core CPU
this helps with the lag by literal fuck tonnes in multiplayer
e:GOOD WORK ON PC VERSION TREYARCH, FOR I TOO LOVE THE RIGHT STICK SYMBOL IN MY NAME
Guess that's what you get for having a weeaboo name.
Bought it... quite frankly was a little disappointed. Not many new gameplay things, just things changed from mw2, like weapons and kill streaks.
I remotely figured that out for Pyong without having the game...I feel awesome.Quote:

They are out-gunned in every shape by assault rifles, even at long range.
By the way, from my own knowledge, Mw2 for ps3 is now a disaster.
as anyone with a hacked ps3 can go online now.
:iamafag:
I can now safely say that Treyarch games are badly optimized. World at War was a complete nightmare to run. Even with a 45FPS the animations looked like they were in slow motion. I almost preferred a slight stutter if I didn't have to see that. Black Ops I haven't experienced many slowdowns, but the FPS is definitely lower than it should be, especially with such an old graphics engine.Quote:

I'm still surprised how many people put Not Buying just because of MW2 or hate the CoD franchise, go rent the damn game first.
We get it, the multiplayer is the 3rd fucking rehash of the same shit we've been playing already.
What do you guys think of the single player?
I'm not even thinking about torrenting it because it would be a waste of my unlimited bandwidth.Quote:

yes, it's just a rehash with a few new features, modes and weapons. sort of like how Halo 3's multiplayer was a rehash of Halo 2 with a few new features, modes and (NERFED) weapons.Quote:

Well, the multiplayer is much the same as MW2, but the story is quite different. I don't know how far through the campaign I am currently, but so far it has been an incoherent mess of flash backs. However, the interrogation sequences transitioning to the missions is quite interesting. I hope the plot for this game will be pulled together tighter than MW2 because when I finished MW2, I was left wondering why Shepard did the things he did. I had to google the answer and many others did the same. I don't want that to be the case with this game since it will be the first time Treyarch is actually making a fictional series of events based on an actual era of history. In Call of Duty 3 and World at War, all they had to do was create a game that followed real life events and create some fictional characters to go with it. That was all. That wasn't hard to do because you already know the exact outcome. Vietnam is probably the only definite thing to go on in Black Ops, but it is not supposed to be the center of the events that unfold. Vietnam just happens to be an area that the team chose to put key characters in to...make the game more varied and interesting, I guess?
Second to last level it comes together and you learn who the interrogator and Viktor Reznov are, plus the after story is good as heck too
And Nixon fighting zambees, Arooo
I gotta the admit, the Bay of Pigs mission was pretty damn fun near the end.
The ending was a bit too; "AMERICA, FUCK YEAH" for me, great game though. Especially loved the vietnam maps and the tunnels.
Played this. It felt exactly like modern warfare 2, except there were even more ridiculous kill streaks that made the game feel random and hectic.
TF2 has elements that are literally random, and it still feels less random than this.
That's the kind of vibe I've been getting so far.Quote:

also what the fuck is this steam required bullshit? I got the physical copy in hopes of being able to LAN but apparently you are REQUIRED to have it connected to your steam account. horse balls.
E: just beat it. definitely like the way they did the story, it was a new experience for the series. reminded me vaguely of the new Wolfenstein for whatever reason...
only real gripes I have is the still-broken-and-now-seemingly-worse hit detection and the optimization.
Been playing this for a little while now with Teekup, it's definitely better than MW2. A lot of the stuff that was incredibly gay in MW2, like Commando or One Man Army, is gone. Basically, Treyarch's balance changes read like a list of everything I ever hated in the CoD series being fixed. Even Stopping Power finally fucked right off. Weapons actually do consistent damage now!Quote:

The weapons have even LESS recoil than in MW2, the FAMAS and AK-74u are OP as shit, and the sniper rifles have been nerfed to the point of uselessness (unless you use the ACOG)
So yeah, if you're looking to get the flavor of the month multiplayer game that everyone's going to have, I'd say it's worth it.
Happily playing Call of Duty 2.
Uh, Halo 2 and 3 played completely different from each other, mainly in terms of the weapons being beautifully balanced in the latter. What makes me even more happy about this is the fact that there's new animations and nothing was reused, but hell if anyone but me and ICEE give 2 hoots over something so "inconspicuous."Quote:

I miss the old Call of Duty style game play. I miss running through towns completing objectives as a normal solider, not Team America. I hate this whole idea of being stuck in one area smaller than Vatican city with a population of 30,000,000 people who all want you dead. Call of Duty 4 was fun. World at War had fun single-player. MW2 seemed like a 5 hour mash up of endless enemy spawns in tiny areas, and multi-player that went completely untested. Black ops has one of the most linear campaigns I think I have ever seen in my life, and the multi-player is fun sometimes, but player spawns and map designs really fail.
So how are the mods?
What mods?Quote:

I still think Activision is a piece of shit though, charging you for dedicated servers. Fuck Activision fuck Activision fuck Activision.
Steam owns. Gaben owns.Quote:

I love the interface and the library but having games connected to my account so only I can play them seems dumb. I went out of my way to get the physical copy because I wanted to install it for my room mate in hopes of lanning, and now we can'tQuote:

So they upped the Xbox Live and System Link party size from 1 to 2. Thanks, guys, now we only need eight copies of the game when LAN-ing.
I like how everything is unlocked when playing local. I had friends who would take a calendar year updating their classes after every match. I actually like this game better than MW2.
It's funny you would say that, since Call of Duty 4 had infinitely respawning enemies in virtually every encounter, while MW2 almost never did.Quote:

I love that camera. THE best thing to use in Search and Destroy.

The sp sucked total dick, not sure if anyone else noticed that. protip : animated cutscenes isn't gameplay
the entire campaign was room after room of retarded, poorly made encounters, overpopulated with too many enemies. it could of been a decent campaign if there wasn't a shitload of enemies in every encounter.
mp is fucking awesome though, I've been playing it non stop lately.
I really hated the gameplay cutscene combination, but loved the overall campaign
So far I'm enjoying the single player campaign .I still haven't gotten the chance to get on Mp, cause of err...server problems.
yep I can't play this game online. it runs too shitily on my comp.
damn shame, considering it doesn't look much more graphically advanced than MW1
Have you tried the various tweaks that have been posted on the internet? Personally, I didn't gain any more FPS by tweaking even by setting the Multi-CPU option to 1. I have an i7 and other people report huge improvements on their quad-core CPUs. Maybe it's because I have a mobile i7 CPU instead of a desktop one, I dunno.Quote:

I'm REALLY getting sick and tired of some fucking pussy quiting out at the VERY end of a match. Faggots that do this make it so the game doesn't show up on my Recent Games list so I can't save it. Just completed a round of S&D where the final kill was me shooting a claymore and some random enemy walking around the corner at the same time. Funniest thing I've seen today.
But guess what, I can't save it because some pansy ass pro fag had to rage quit.
So COD has saved films now too? But just not as cool?
Apparently it's very cool. I haven't tried it out yet.Quote:

It keeps the last 15 games in a recent games list.
And sir Kornmann, rendering out clips will automatically upload them to youtube under a Treyarch account.
SWEET
From what some people have been telling me, it's practically the same as in Halo 3.Quote:

COD has had saved films since at least COD2, not sure if COD1 had them... just not on the consoles.Quote:

You have to use the console to record the video and then convert it to another format to edit it. It's hard to compare it to the saved films feature seen in Halo 3/Reach or Black Ops.Quote:

There are third-party applications that made playbacks much more flexible. Not official, but hey.
And Bungie had saved films way back in Marathon, so what.
Let me rephrase the question
Which Pooky answered.Quote:

Now how about them tools?
Been playing Cod 4 lately both alone and with friends, and I gotta say it's way more fun than Blackops. Cod 4 had its flaws, the M16 RDS and M40 ACOG being foremost among them, but it's still a much better multiplayer game than any of its successors.
$15 bucks? Really? Meh I should gather enough MS points thanks to the rewards thing to buy it by then so I'm not wasting any of my money.
Enjoy.
