Call of Duty: Black Ops (NEW POLL!)

or you know the shotgun you get right off the bat, SPAS, and never misses a target 50 yds+ 1 shot kill.....

Yeah M1014+Grip+Extended mags becomes that, only it's semi automatic.

People can complain about the rangers all they want. But an M1014 with grip and extended mags is a goddamn bastard. The striker.....well the striker is an even bigger bastard with extended mags. Just ask Sever.

MW2's campaign was a shitfest. Action packed? More like let's put a shit load of enemies everywhere with autoaim, and try and make the main character go right through them, and see how fast he gets shot with a rocket, at close range. (seriously though, storyline was alright, but how they made it sucked dick, imo)

Personally the highlight of the campaign in MW2 for me was when your in D.C. it just felt intense, the music was pretty spot on with the "drama" and the overall setting really set a dark mood, the rain helped as well. everything after that seemed like it tried to some super stealth yet everything explodes action movie.


Actaully now that I think about it, ever since CoD 4 the Marine levels were the ones I actually really enjoyed. My favorite Task force levels would have to be the first level of CoD 4 and the airplane one that gives you like 30 sec. to complete.

I bet you guys can't wait for the new $30 DLC. It will only cost $35! It will have all the maps from MW2 in it! And it will only cost $40!

Bobby will add silly hats you can get from random drops in game but you have to pay $15 a month to be able to earn them

And I would pay him every month to do it until Gaben sues him

we have already seen that its a clone of mw2. the scoring system is the same, the art style is the same, and the whole experience is going to be the same. normally when we have these threads, somebody comes along and says "you cant make any judgments on gameplay because you havent played it", and NORMALLY i would agree with them. its the fact that all of the recent call of dutys basically play exactly the god damn same way. its clone after clone of cod 4. we all know how its going to play out.

console gamers, consider this: cod4 through blackops (and probably another too in the near future) have all been on the ps3/xbox360. this means you use the same live account or psn for all of these games. what if every cod game played differently, had totally (or at least somewhat) different gameplay, and wasnt basically just a rehash of the last game with more/different/the same toys. theyre all on the same system, so you wouldnt be inconvenienced to switch between consoles, and the series wouldnt be so fucking obnoxious.
i mean clearly theres money in exploiting the sheep gamers and giving them the same god damn thing over and over again without fixing any problems, but for fucks sake, the game has so many fundamental issues that people just ignore. why the fuck cant developers FIX the god damn issues in addition to making some pretty new models and photocapped textures? its not like they really have to think the gameplay out or anything. im pretty sure any one of us can think of 10+ major gameplay issues with any call of duty game right off the top of our heads.

Surprisingly, very few people seem to understand this. M16 RDS and M40 ACOG are shit weapons for shit players, hth.

Your right, real pros use M4's with 4x ACOG and red dot

Its a point and shoot game. Each gun does the same amount of damage.

I don't think I even need to elaborate on how stupid this is, but I will anyway.

Besides the fact that different guns do vastly different amounts of damage, there are a lot of other factors which determine the overall effectiveness of a weapon. Recoil, idle sway, damage falloff, noise level, multipliers, magazine size, reload speed, etc. In this case, the M16 has an edge over virtually every other weapon, in every category besides extreme range sniping ability and full auto spray. It's simply too effective in a vast majority of situations, rendering most of the other weapons redundant in a competitive environment.

Bear in mind that I'm referring to the CoD 4 incarnation of the M16. MW2 is far too unbalanced and horrible for me to even care about.

its a point and shoot game where every weapon does a different amount of damage, has different damage multipliers, and standoffs where two people unload and one person survives by one shot are all too common. paladin i would expect you to understand that

Hm? Regardless if they do slightly different things just choose any assault rifle or an UMP/Vector from the SMG section and you're good to go.

How is running around knifing with Marathon Pro-Lightweight Pro-Commando Pro unbalanced? Also you didn't post any examples of why MW2 is unbalanced or weapon comparisons, tell me more
