AKS-74U = Godsend!

The first 5 or so games after equipping this I was literally pulling 3.0-4.0 Kill/Death Ratio... It was crazy.

Wait until you unlock the PM63 it's pretty beastly to. :)

Beh, it's ALL about the AK-47. 8)

I haven't unlocked the AK47 yet but they usually have terrible accuracy.

This is the best Call of Duty game I've played since Call of Duty 2, but IMVHO, it does not deserve a AAA score. Mutliplayer is still boring, Zombies is great fun, and the campaign is great too. Not a single reviewer has given a good reason with this game is getting AAA scores.

I would love if Aim Assist was turned off once you played in prestige mode. I think that would be awesome. The only reason I don't turn AA off is because I know everyone else uses it and I'd get my butt handed to me but does prestige mode force users to turn it off?

A common misconception that has been spread by naysayers for far too long, but no weapon in CoD games have been so inaccurate that they are rendered useless (aside from shotguns, of course).

I unlocked and purchased Ninja Pro. So far I can't tell much of a difference in the sound of footsteps or firing, but I do notice I can hear enemies talking pretty loudly. It's just sometimes I forget which language my team is and which language the other team is. Also, I'm doing the best with the AK74u plus suppressor and rapid fire, but I also really like the M14 with red dot and suppressor. I could probably stick to iron sights on M14, but I don't really need any other perk in that category that I can think of.

I'm still stuck on getting ghost pro. I've got all but the shootdown 30 enemy aircraft challenge. I've only shot down 2 lol. Hopefully it'll be easier when I get the next lock on launcher at level 30 (I'm only on level 27 right now).

round 18 ( or 20 I didn't check it after we lost ) me with my friend only 8)

small tip for the rookies out there, first 2 rounds kill only with knives, the third one shoot zombies until reload then kill them with knives and AFTER that start buying weapons.

I usually go the first 4-5 rounds with just knives. 8) Stay in the first room and just stab them through the windows.

hmmm...maybe it's easier when played alone?

because it becomes impossible to play only with knives after round three cuz the zombies become tougher to kill with the pistols let alone knives, plus they move faster.

[QUOTE="Dante2710"][QUOTE="Verge_6"] Are you pretending to be new to gaming? :?Verge_6
This is relevant, it really is. Specially for a game that heavily relies on its MP portion.

Sooo, what about the other games that had server issues when they just launched? Let's name a few, Halo 3, Halo Reach, Bad Company, Bad Company 2, Killzone 2....are you going to call those games unpolished too? A game's online 'polish' consists of things like netcode, lobby integration and presentation etc. What nearly all popular multiplayer games experience at launch are overloaded servers, not developer sloppiness.

How come an online only game like Socom gets hammered for absolutely **** online at launch in reviews and this doesn't? Both have problems that are expected to be fixed, but CoD has a mediocre campaign, so that makes it justifiable? How about the history of CoD never actually fixing it's horrendous lag issues, thereby rendering the entire series moot on the online front? Why is that not factored in?

I think the problem people have is not that the game has these problems at launch, but rather that it is unlikely they will ever be fixed.

Usually we are 4 people each at one window so we have less to worry about if we only stay in first room.

Think I found my new love in life, after equipping the M60 (usually use the gali w/e) my top 3 matches of the night on team death match where 29-10, 33-15 and 17-2. I found myself in a losing streak though when it started to put me in games where i was on a losing side near the end of a game...

[QUOTE="lundy86_4"]

[QUOTE="tehsystemwarior"] What attachment do you put on it? And I love how the SMGs all suck at long range, they should. cough ump coughjakarai

I was just using the Red-Dot Sight with it, as I prefer the visibility. It does suck over long distances, which i'm glad for.

Bah I shoot directly down the sites with no dots or scope. 8)

I found it a lot easier for most guns like the M60 and my other load out option gun the AKS-74U to just use the iron sight instead of Scopes and the Red Dot. Just seems weird cause CoD MW2 it was like a god send to have scopes and in Black Ops its like iron scope or bust :P.

I think their topics end up being better than ours for whatever reason, but it's true that the majority of them are jerks. At least it's in a funny way usually.

Anyway, I can't wait to mess with the emblem stuff.

1. It's Call of Duty

2. SOCOM probably didn't have the luxury of review events(which should be done away with IMO).

3. Treyarch is working a patch to fix the server issues. I haven't really had major lag issues in any COD game(apart from the Bog in COD4, wth is up that map), so I don't know what you mean about "never fixing horrendous lag issues, rendering the series moot on the online front."

I figured it out quickly, once Woods (or at least I think it was him) kicked the first barrel down and said to kick down barrels.

I shot at it first, nothing. Approached it, then *ding*!

There's something to be said for having some focus in a game. That part wasn't handled very well, but it was a small hold up in an overall excellent campaign. Maybe you should play it and find out. ;)

I agree, that was about the only part in the campaign that made me go "*sigh* Really, Treyarch?". It seriously needed something like objective markers over each barrel, not just placing one in the middle of the goddamned NVA kill-zone. Other than that though, I have no real complaints regarding the campaign. VERY solid.

Well there's only one that you, yourself need to push down. It's only meters away from the one Woods pushes, and it's also aligned with the first barrel.

[QUOTE="rolo107"][QUOTE="Skittles_McGee"] Well to be fair, Nuketown is a terrible map and it takes a lot of kills to get chopper gunner, so that person probably would've killed you a lot anyway.Skittles_McGee
Nuketown's not a bad map, it's just not balanced for every amount of players. If you put 300 players on any CoD map they wouldn't seem like a very good map.

Its a terrible map, don't you lie to me >_> When my team spawns, I look to the left just in time to see the entire enemy team has spawned and shoots me in the face, we have a problem.

Ah I see what you mean. I don't know why but I always do really, really well on that map. I use Nova Gas, and Semtex for some early kills for fellow rushers, then I rush in with my MP5 and kill everyone then repeat over and over back and forth. I especially like doing this in Search and Destroy. I also like Sniping on the map with the L96.

Wow I didn't know people got stuck on that barrel bit, I just gradually progressed down the hill, saw the "Press X" next to the barrels and went, oh cool, then used them both.

[QUOTE="Verge_6"]Other than that though, I have no real complaints regarding the campaign. VERY solid.Cherokee_Jack
How did it compare to WAW in your opinion?

I'd say it's better. It's naturally not as large-scale as WaW's (the game's called Back Ops for God's sake), but Treyarch polished it quite a bit, and the story is certainly one of the, if not the, most engaging in the CoD franchise. Also, despite being set decades after WaW, BO's campaign still ties in nicely with it, and honestly manages to feel like a direct epilogue of WWII's outcome (which the Cold War really was). MW2 tried and failed in this regard.

I guess I'm the only who thinks COD4 was better than WaW :P

It's cooler to like Treyarch :P.

Nah, I'd say COD4>WAW. WAW was good, but it suffered from feeling like a clone and the campaign had its issues(Soldiers had grenade launchers for hands). The multiplayer was also a bit more unbalanced than COD4, and the tank maps were far too large for 16 players.

I doubt it, CoD4's story and campaign were perfect IMO, the story was simple in the best possible way and the game was full of stand out levels. But Black Ops is close to CoD4's greatness, it did what MW2 couldn't which is to have an overblown completely fictitious (CoD4's was obviously fictitious but it felt a bit more grounded in reality than BO and MW2) story that was actually good.

I ain't knocking CoD4 or anything. It craps ALL over MW2, and it certainly among the best shooters this generation.

Definitely, whilst I was playing this I think I realised what the problem with MW2's SP was, there were too many slogs through enemies and not enough set pieces, which is pretty much what CoD was always about. My favourite level in MW2 was probably Cliffhanger which had a cinematic opening, a little stealth bit, then a dash through a ton of enemies and the snowmobile chase at the end, TONS of variety in one level, the way it should be. But then about 90% of the other levels were just shoot, shoot, shoot.
