I'd have to go ahead and agree, I don't really understand where all these problems are coming from. I have only really disconnected from host migration (which is rare as it usually gives me host in that situation), and I've never played >50ms ping on BO yet and I haven't felt like my bullets weren't connecting when they should.

I agree as well, and they put out the patch for PS3 and it actually caused more problems for some people than good so they are still working on the connection issues for you PS3 guys so just hang in there. The game hasn't been out that long and for some reason everyone forgets how COD4 was when it came out, it was much worst in these areas than BO is and after they patched everything it turned out great. I have 190ms ping from my new cable company and its a little off for me, but not allot. I love the game, I love the fact that the guns have recoil and sway and a few other things that make it a little harder to play. They just tweaked the spawn system because of good spawns getting flagged as bad and fixed the sound issue and a good list of other things as show in the video I posted. MW2 is still broken after a year and that is great because all the people can just stay there and leave BO for the rest of us:tup: I prefer the balancing of guns and perks and other things they did in this one compared to having better looking textures and such.
 
I played the game earlier and had zero connection issues.
 
Hit detection... uh, there isn't any. I was having to put four or five M60 rounds (50/40 damage, 3HK max) into the bots in Combat Training to kill them :irked:

Even got three rounds into one point-blank (which should've killed him), only for the bot to panic-knife me :|
 


Just a snippet of me being a beast :). Right in the last second you can see my CG killstreak come up, I ran out of render time. Speaking of rendering, why does this game do it so terribly? The sounds are especially crap...

I pre-ordered this game and also bought Medal of Honor the following day, since that time I've spent over double the gaming time playing MoH than Black Ops. I used to love Call of Duty games until I discovered Battlefield Bad Company 2 which blew MW2 out the water, however, with the hype around Black Ops, the Cold War setting and the promise of ironing out MW2's multiplayer problems I was genuinely excited about this game.... until I played it. When are Activision/Treyarch/Infinity Ward going to realise that you can't just put the same game out every year thinly disguised as a different one? Same old crap, over-hyped and over-rated unrealistic s***. If there's not a massive change come next years expected Modern Warfare 3 this is my last CoD game because the last 2 FPS EA have released have been, in my opinion, far superior.
 
Nothing like a chopper gunner to the sound of extremely loud music with the foot on the Sub Woofer :).

Soooo chillin' right now after work....
 
Why does the game do theater mode work so bad in this game is the question! I swear, everytime I do something that I am like ok I am backing out of this lobby and rendering that crap right there, I go to that game and its never the game I was in! If they were going to put that in they should have had it working correctly. Did Halo ever have that problem? I don't like Halo so I never played it much so I'm not sure if they had any of those problems or not.
 
Halo made you pay to render clips, that was the fail there...

I never have a problem finding the wrong game, however you may need to complete a game to make the clip show up, I am not too sure on that matter...
 
I complete the match and then when I get back to the lobby I will back out and then go to render the clip I want and its just the wrong game. I do all of my clips like this and I only have the problem on clips I am just thinking oh man I have to render that. Tonight I didn't feel like playing but was bored and played two matches. The first match I bought the regular RPG and decided I was just going to lay in the back with ghost and wait for the enemy to put something in the air and try to shoot it down with the unguided RPG. They had a spy plane go up and I nailed it on the first shot and was just super excited because hitting anything with the RPG like that is just amazing, and of course it recorded a game I wasn't even in! Same thing happened when I got the sniper distance kill with the MP5...
 
I just installed a new patch, and so far the games I've been in have been great with regard to hit detection and whatnot.
 
No more Nuketown syndrome!!! Take that nuketown loving nubs! No 7v5 or 6v4 matches in awhile but I have had matches hang in the lobby (it will say starting in 0 seconds but never start) and at the loading screen as well. Oh well, I'm happy that they're at least trying to quickly patch up all the issues, hopefully we will see these things sorted shortly.

GGs last night Icehawk, I missed HQ it was really fun even though you kept jinxing us when we had a perfect going :lol: That guy was amazing, asking you to explain how you did your clan tag and then screaming hacker as you explained it. Plus the little kid who came on afterwards who was so excited that he had it only to be extremely disappointed to find out someone else in the lobby knew how to do it.

I'm up for any game type btw, regular is not as bad as it was in MW2 IMO. I find people die faster. So if you or Vash sees me on BO then shoot me an invite, the only times I won't join are if I am not at my PS3 (usually set myself away when I leave though) or if the invite doesn't work (in which case, I'll msg you guys for another one).

And I tried the gold camo in split-screen, the AK is so gaudy (100% gold) I love it. The G11 is weird, the parts that normally have camo are black and the parts that normally don't are gold. Commando ... it's ok but the strap covers up too much gold :lol:
 
This is for sure the best clip I have got in the game so far:tup: If you have used the Valk missile then you know how hard they are to control, well I got a double and then the final kill cam with a double kill through a freaking window:)

 

Win.
 
ha, what the hell was that guy doing?

I found a Slider in a game last night!

That guy warped out of this dimension at the end. o_O

Never knew we could upload theater mode stuff to youtube, now to buy black ops.
 
Does anyone else love the Death Machine? That thing is just so damn awesome, I hope for it in every package I call in.

I also got my first real flawless game (high kills as well as no deaths), finally no damn RC car to ruin it! 28-0 whilst playing split screen with my buddy on a TDM (on his PS3 so I haven't got it up in my file share yet). The air support seems a little silly still, particularly the chogu and gunship as nobody really seems to have ghost pro so you get ridiculous amounts of kills and knock down people who try to shoot you down before they can even fire the rocket. That said I do have ghost pro so only dogs can hurt me really.

The Death Machine was awesome in the campaign. Having barely played any multiplayer, I do not think I have used it just yet.

Having mentioned the campaign, I finished it Saturday.
 
I don't have the Care Package as one of my Killstreaks, so I haven't used the Death Machine yet. I've only seen it used by the enemy team a couple of times, the first person who got the Death Machine was quickly killed and I took out another person who had only just got it.

I think the last 2 I got I picked up 4 kills with 1 and the game winner with the other whilst I was spraying through walls and he decided to come out a doorway with his face going across my crosshair, bad move. Just like the Grim Reaper they should be timed whereas most people get a killstreak and call it in right away in their excitement. Tactical use of all killstreaks can make or break a game.
 
I don't mind the Death Machine, but the Grip Reaper is just useless, well useless to me anyways.
 
Matrix style:


Who says Commando is no longer in the game :scared:


Not really sure what this one is, it was my care package and it was ammo so I left it. Either this is a "Get away from my care package" and he ran away scared when I shot him or it's a "Bah, forget this it's just ammo".

People don't pay attention:


Yet again not paying attention (plus a ninja knife at the end):

I ran out to knife the guy, missed and then followed him to other side. And yes, I ran right in front of his teammate (blocking him a little) and the guy didn't even notice me.

It was a pretty sad TDM. I just prestiged so I had nothing good unlocked (I'm really bad with the M16, I'm a sprayer) and as a result knifed most people. I had 10+ knife kills and ended the game 22-6. We still lost 5800 to 7500, the teams were balanced (6v6) and the top player on the other team was 18-10. The person with the second highest K/D on my team was 10-14 :(

Here is the only problem I am having with this game, they really need to reduce the knife lunge by allot. Its basically commando without having the perk:ouch:

 
I finally finished by emblem tonight. I had to rank up to unlock the last few pieces but I'm pretty happy with it now.

Also I unlocked the FN FAL. I hear its not as good as it used to be. We'll see next time I play.

I didn't want to spend too much time creating and changing my emblem, but I was pleased with what i'd made, so I've left it as it is. I've also seen my fair share of strange emblems over the past couple of weeks :yuck:

I don't use the FAL as much as I did in MW2, mainly because there are so many better weapons available. The AUG is now my primary weapon, I just need to level up to unlock it again.
 
This is always how my games of sharpshooter go:dopey: Just patrol a small area with some cover and wait for them to come back:tup:

 
Your videos render soooo good compared to mine. Screw black ops for now anyway, GT5 will be with me when I get out of bed and go to the store in 2 hours (6am here, opens 8).
 
I'm getting this game for Christmas and would love some more people to play this game with. Add me if you want. PSN: akmuq
 
GT5 blows hard so far. I might have to play this game later tonight to forget about it.

Had to erase your post and pretend like I didn't see it, I'm going to pickup GT5 in an hour and I am probably not going to sleep tonight.

Black Ops has already gone the way of SSF4 for me. I loved SF4 and grinded the hell out of that game, got super hyped for SSF4 and grinded that for a few weeks then got bored.

Same thing from MW2 to Black Ops :( Maybe it's because I play too much TDM (almost exclusively) ... Demolition is pretty fun especially when I can pull my team to a win against opponents that are smashing us but I get annoyed that it ends up having too many explosions with grenade launchers, RPGs, grenades and claymores everywhere.
