[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="KHAndAnime"]The community is goddamn awful as well.KHAndAnime

God you hate CoD with a vengeance don't you.... Tell uncle Felix what happened....did a noob headshoot you?

I do hate overrated games. Anyways, half the servers I go into, people are just tossing around the n-word at each other nonstop. Over the course of a few games I seem to get MvP using my grenade launcher attachment and people start harassing my verbally (over the mic) and over text nonstop. And people think Counter-Strike has a bad community? Hah.

EDIT: I also hate that wage matches/nazi zombies don't work online. I can never get enough players to get a match started. :(

I agree the "n" word is used too often.... it seems to happen a lot with Online FPS. You get harassed by using the grenade launcher (or NooB Tube) cause most people think it's sort of cheating.... with the grenade launcher it's easy, just aim somewhere near where the enemy is and shoot = DEAD.... no real skill involved. That's why I play on a server where grenade launchers are not allowed.... makes the experience heaps better. Just don't use the NubTube and you won't get harassed...

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="Tuzolord"]

they both suck..

Tuzolord

WE HAVE A WINNER !!! Was waiting for an idiotic comment like this one.... took quite a while this time actually...

It's called having an opinion, i actually tried to compare the two and that was my conclusion. So in the end your comment was actually the "idiotic" one.


"An opinion is a subjective statement or thought about an issue or topic, and is the result of interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. However, it can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analysing the supporting arguments."


So as you can see an OPINION is a statement, thought or feeling about something SUPPORTED BY FACTS.

To say something sucks without any fact or supported argument is indeed an idiotic comment.

Next time it should read:

"I think they both suck because FACT FACT INTERPRETATION THOUGHT FEELING FACT etc"

But you probably bought it anyway. Activision owned you.

Black Ops looks far better than MW2 graphically. I'm surprised more people don't note this... :?

Having played through Black Ops last week, and now Modern Warfare 2 this morning, I can confirm that, one, it doesn't look better, and two, most definitely NOT "far better". They're about equal in actuality. That's why people don't note it. It's just not true at all.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Black Ops is nearly the most unpolished COD made! The stuttering is awful, the MP locks up, even playing early in the morning i couldn't get a ping below 70. I had a much smoother experience with MW2.

I stopped as soon as I realized that you didn't realize that the engine in MW2 and the engine in Black Ops are not one in the same.

I know that.... but it's the same CoD series so I believe the comparison is valid. I am trying to compare 2 different games, using different engines....but BO IS the next in the series after MW2.... (even if it's made by another company)

Eh, IW 4.0 and 3.0 are extremely similar. Black Ops uses a lot of the same graphical features as found in MW2. It's fair to compare.

I was lucky enough to buy the game after they fixed the mp lag hehe. Imo, black ops is better than mw2 in every way, from a technical standpoint at least. Black ops looks amazing and runs really great on my pc on max detail with 16x AA. I do agree that the lag really sucks for us aussies when there aren't any autralian servers to connect to or when you go into a wager match from the US.

Actually the engine that Black Ops uses is essentially the same one that the original COD used. There are a few tweaks, but that's about it. They have made very small incremental changes from COD2 onward.. but the biggest jump was from the original COD to COD2 IMO. Since then the changes have been minor in comparison. When you play COD2 and then Black Ops, it's pretty obvious that they are using the same basic engine. When you open up the games' file directories, it becomes even more obvious. Look at file extensions, placements, etc..

IW 3.0, 4.0, etc.. They are all just tweaked versions of ID Tech 3. Yes, that's right.. Id Tech 3, the same engine used for Quake 3, Jedi Outcast, Academy, Elite Force 1 and 2, etc.. I have to say, this engine has the best longevity ever.. but it's looking a bit dated now. I wish they'd stopped using it after Modern Warfare. I thought that was pushing it.

So yes, MW2 and Black Ops do use the same engine when it comes down to it.

Heavily modified ID Tech 3. IW 4.0 still has some code from ID Tech 3, but I wouldn't say that it's essentially using the same engine as COD. It's more than just a few tweaks.

I've never been overly impressed with the progression of the engine since the jump made from COD to COD2. Since then I feel comfortable in saying that there have been just a few tweaks. Or if there have been many tweaks, they haven't amounted to much in my eyes. When I see COD2 maxed out next to Black Ops maxed out, Black Ops looks like someone tried to do too much with an old engine.

How do u find that specific server?

Try to find it on the list. It starts with [GG], also has SYD (sydney) on the description I think....,it's always HQ mode. If you can't find it, let me know. I will check it tonite when I get home and put the full name here....

I think our learned friend biggest loser is referring to bg as in "bad game" as he often uses it at the end of multiplayer rounds when others are saying gg. Why does he do this? We may never find out.

games.on.net are always green colored with red colored game modes for me. They are pretty easy to find. Also there are wager matches in australia. They fill up pretty quickly and there isn't gungame yet.

As for performance there is no doubt Black Ops runs worse than MW2, it does do some things better graphically but the leap is not as huge as the system required to run it well.

I like the maps more, they are more complicated. I just can figure out what the hell is the deal with cpu usage on the roof perfomance of the engine and the lag on dedicated servers.
