Those rc cars are pretty annoying. You can destroy them can't you? I couldn't seem to blow them up. Hopefully people will stop using them soon as they unlock better stuff. Its not hard to tell where they are and you can hide from them pretty easy so I wouldn't say its overpowered just really annoying.

You can shoot them fairly easily and you get XP for blowing them up, too.
 
You can't shoot them fairly easy. Maybe shoot them once or twice but they move so fast I can't hit them.
 
They need to GTFO of snd. Everyone's using hardline (?) to get them at a 2 kill streak. Enemy RC XD on the way...


@ Mclaren, I still class the sparks in the graphics category. I'm not technology competent so that's where I put them. Regardless, they look terra bad.

Regardless of whether or not it's graphics, I personally don't spend much time shooting the grass and looking at the ground, sure the odd stray bullet may hit the ground in various situations but I'm looking at the target. It's kind of like saying GT5P has bad graphics because the reverse lights don't work, how much time do you spend reversing in GT/shooting at the grass in COD to care?

I look forward to playing catch up tomorrow when I finally get my copy which has been waiting for me. Hopefully I can perform as well as I have since COD4. KDR target for Black Ops? It was 1.5 for COD4 and I got 2.2, 2 for WaW and I got 2.2 using bolt action rifles, 2 for MW2 and I'm on 3.12 :lol:. I'm not a stat whore, I play to win, but I'd like to know to expect of myself as I always like to set personal targets.
 
Maybe I could end up with a 1.00 K/d ratio. COD4 it was around 0.8, WaW 0.90, MW2, 0.90, maybe 1.00 in Black Ops?

So far, I'm quite impressed with the game, I'm happy with it for sure.

Regardless of what you are & aren't, they're not graphics based. They hardly hold any ground for MW2 having "bad graphics" either, as the game actually looked fairly nice.
 
I think the graphics are fine. I just want to run around and shoot people.

I finished single player, and yes it did seemed rushed at the end. I was liking the long drawn out story, I would of loved it if it was even longer.

I still don't like the zombie thing, they freak me out. Although it's fun with friends
 
6.67 KD, 23 kills 3 deaths, 3 challenges and two contracts completed 3300 cr earned, 16680 xp earned.

All in one game of TDM, amazing.
 
As if it plays exactly like WaW mate. For starters, you have credits in case you had not realised. You then have new perks, removal of things like juggernaut and stopping power which completely changes the game up. You now can not quick scope either which is changing alot of the gameplay and moving non serious snipers away from the weapon. Then you get this new damage system where the weapons have changed in damage and bullets needed to kill. There are new modes with entirely new weapons we have never seen before such as the crossbow and ballistic knife, were they in WaW, no.

So this game is miles from the same as WaW and far away from MW2 in terms of gameplay.

All you are talking here is about game content (however was nice to learn about new damage and no quick scoping).

When I say it plays like WAW i'm talking about physical gameplay - COD 4 feels like MW2 not a bad thing there but in this I guess i'm dissapointed as I prefer the IW games, had just hoped Treyarch would have used the same game engine as IW did but they havent.

The game engine is WAW and its enhanced for the new game so yes it feels like playing the WAW game - maybe i was too harsh about this point i was just as i said disappointed.


If you are getting sarcastic/ cheeky replies all the time, have you thought about how you post might be the problem mate? You were being so blunt, just coming in here and going 'oh the graphics are 🤬.

I didnt say it was me who got the replies all the time i said "cheeky/sarcastic replies to things i see posted or posted myself".

I am on several forums and this one is by far the worst for other members always trying to get one over on others to look funny/sarcastic/big/internet gangsta etc......

Most of us can relate to a bad connection so I do not need to elaborate in that but we all cannot understand where you are coming from with this graphics thing you have going here. Care to help us out and say whats wrong?

Yes everyone can relate to connection errors but any new game released almost 100% of the time has connection problems when released.

Jaggies everywhere, colours and textures are lacking in comparison with MW2 - worst example being 'Nuketown' looks like a cartoon.

I have a high post count here because I have been here 3 years, not because I post whore and of all things, belittle other people. You are overreacting alot mate, everything is being taken the wrong way by you...

You reply to my post was in no way constructive or added to the discussion, it was a direct attempt to belittle me, your post started with 'wow' and ended with 'just wow' you cannot turn that round any other way. I didnt over react i just replied to your post in a sarcastic tone then ended up in a fully blown maturity/conduct discussion with Dragonistic.


He has a name, as the saying goes, 'she is the cat's mother'.

Ever heard of pronouns?

A MOCKERY of you?! Excuse me? The last thing anyone aims to do on this forum is make a mockery of someone, you just had a straight out point which was not proved or contributing to much at all.

Then why did you attempt to do it? Your post is written in black and white for all to see you cant deny it.

My point not proved? I was putting my opinions out there to see what others felt about the graphics - its a forum - thats what its for.

Not contributing? I was opening a discussion about the way the game looks by stating my opinions on the graphics.

Lets go back to your old post, where in the world does it say, 'What are your opinions'? It doesn't! It just complains about them and says how they are a huge mistake and treyarch should be embarrassed. Which, in mine and almost everyone elses opinion, is not the case.

I'm entitled to an opinion whether it comes across as a moan or not, so accept that.

Everyone elses opinion? I have seen like three to four other members opinions on the graphics.

You calling my good friend Dragonistic a Chum? I personally take alot of offence to a friend of mine being called a chum. I did NOT ask for Phil to come into this conversation, Phil just did because he is a real man and not just some guy who seems to pay out everyone who isn't his friend.

I wasnt aware you were not familiar with the word 'chum'

Definitions of chum:

•buddy: a close friend who accompanies his buddies in their activities
•bait consisting of chopped fish and fish oils that are dumped overboard to attract fish
•chum salmon: a large Pacific salmon with small spots on its back; an important food fish


Yeah well, they call it life. Deal with it.

I cant tell you how much irony is in that statement being that you chose to quote me saying;

"I used to frequent this site often till i realised how obnoxious a lot of the members are, they always have something to prove and someone to patronise."

EDIT: On a side note here, I lost 1000cr for not being able to connect to a medium level wager match last night, fail...

I played a game of One Shot in the Chamber last night where a guy clearly used 2 shots to kill me, when i went to theatre to save the replay it wasnt there.

Am i missing something? Can you pick up rounds?

Knifing will get you bullets.
 
Another question, is Ghost Pro difficult to unlock? It's basically the first thing I want to do as I can run an anti-air class and more stealth set ups.

On the feeling like WaW, WaW was on the same engine COD4 was, Treyarch basically just built on IWs code, and was often talked about being COD4 in WW2. COD has had a similar feel in all it's game for a long time now and it is starting to become a bit of a problem as this is at least the fourth time now where we've got a very similar experience with new content on top. I get the feeling they're afraid of changing it now though, the COD feel in the way you move and shoot and such is just incredibly slick and I'm not sure how they would make change it without enraging the fan base. I'd say it probably feels like them all rather then just WaW, in a few hours I'll know.

What on earth is the Grim Reaper?

I got a care package at the end of a round last night and when it dropped i seen it was a Grim Reaper but the game ended !

I think the Grim Reaper is a kind of rocket launcher which packs quite a punch. Like the Death Machine they are care package only weapons which you get to play around with for a bit (until you die? or run out of ammo). On foot weaponry that is, not air support.

Sounds good !

I'd also like to know about ghost pro perk, infact any pro perk as it will be a challenge for me to get them !
 
Compared to MW2 this is a steaming pile.
Considering MW2 is over a year old, it looks and feels a lot more polished than this 'newer' game. The guns have no weight and I don't 'like' any of them (apart from the M1911 pistol). They all feel the same: Tinny, pants and unrealistic.
Noob-tubes and Claymores kill nothing, so they might as well not be in the game either.

It sometimes takes 4 bursts of an M16 to kill someone, yet 3 bullets from a silenced SMG seem to kill me really dead.


I'm not impressed at all

IMO
 
Haven't played multiplayer yet, but by playing the campaign, the sniper rifle is super steady. Is it like that online too?
 
Wow, just wow. If you've ever had the pleasure of having your ass handed to you in a game by legendary, you'll know that wow is his favourite word, wow. Haven't you learnt a new one yet you whiny ozzie? wow.........

:irked:👍

I agree with you and 86 about the graphics, larry, btw.
 
Last night I started the campaign and wow it is very good. I also made a few gun classes for online. And then I decided to mess with the decal editor. Its very similar to the Forza vinyl editor and Rock band logo editor. Here is what I made in about 5 minutes. I purchased 5 inventory slots to make this. After I reach rank 16 I can put this on my guns.

My first emblem.

The Grim Reaper is a four-round semi-automatic rocket launcher. 8 rockets in reserve, 4 loaded.
 
My first emblem.

Nice. Using the exact same dragon/tear drop eye design myself. May have to steal your flames however ;)

Serious question - what is the logic behind the subtle online "aim assist?"

It seems to me it does more harm than good and I know many, many players have complained on the official forums (CoD4, WaW & MW2) about it yet the developers refuse to remove it. So there has got to be some consideration to the feature I'm just simply not thinking ot and I'm just curious what it might be. Any insight from "those in the know" is appreciated :).
 
Aiming with a joystick is a lot harder than aiming with a mouse, which is why consoles have aim-assist and computers don't. Try playing W@W with aim assist off. :sly:

Well I don't have WaW any longer, but I understand your point on controller vs mouse aiming. Although I could have sworn the online aim assist could not be turned off on the consoles though.

Anyway just to be clear I'm not referring to the slight bullet magnet effect that is just part of the game, but to the experience where when ADS your reticule will be pulled to one side or the other if an enemy walks/runs past.

I'm glad about the noob tubes not being like they were in MW2, all this will do is keep all of the noob hacks playing MW2 and leave this game which actually has recoil and sway for people that actually can play FPS's. The bullet issue you are having is lag, they are working on the lag right now because they were so overloaded with the amount of people playing right now, they will fix it in time. COD4 was the same way when it was released, they fixed it and it turned out to be one of the best FPS's ever made, so just hold your panties and let them fix the lag issue. Also there isn't any lag on the 360, so its something to do with the PS network, they should have it sorted soon.

I'm starting to see noobtubers pop up now given those who are into that have ranked up enough to afford the tube at this point. I see some kids trying MW2 tube tactics, which if they work (which is rare) you can counter it by switching to a flak jacket class. I'm sure it will get worst over time but at least there is a counter to it now...
 
I've finally unlocked the Famas and the AK74u. Very first game with the Famas I go 33-9 in a map I didn't even know the name of. :lol:
 
The AK74u is my baby :)
 
The thing is the UMP45 of this game. 2 shot kills and low recoil. I haven't used it since I unlocked it but I've picked it up a few times and I've certainly been killed with it several times.
 
The AK74u is my baby :)

Same here, it's unstoppable with extended mags!

I discovered tonight that playing against the bots on easy is such a good way to relax and let off steam. They're diabolical! :lol: I played a match with them earlier and finished on 41-1...
