    Default Black Ops discussion thread!

    Black Ops is coming out tomorrow.
    Tomorrow! Finally.

    I know that tomorrow != today, but I just wanted to be the one to start the discussion thread about it. (It gives me this warm, fuzzy, cozy feeling..)

    .. discuss? Expectations, thoughts, comments, ect.


    Oh, and I'm signed up for a Black Ops tournament, competing for a copy of the Prestige Edition. I know it's silly to be nervous for such an occasion, but I am so nevertheless; I just played an couple hours of CoD5 (W@W) and I really didn't feel like I did particularly well.. So it would be of significant help if any of you who already have tried the game, could give me some general tips, if possible, on how to potentially perform better. (This probably sounds pretty stupid, but meh.) All I know is that I'll probably be competing in a free-for-all-match, using the standard classes. (And standard sensetivity ) So.. maybe a short description of the starting classes at least? Would be really nice..

    Keep it cool and you should be fine.
    Theres a video floating around somewhere that shows some mp footage with classes, prehaps look them up?
    if it was me personally id start with the smg class, it seems all round for med to close range, which in free-for-all, you might be in

    Will you play it on PC? (since you mentioned the sensitivity I guess you're on XBOX)

    I haven't ordered it yet since my graphic card is at the minimum requirements for the game, so I'll try it out first, and if it's will work OK, I'll probably buy it. My expectations on it... I really don't think it will be all that people expect from it. The weapons probably won't be that balanced as everyone is predicting (I at least hope there won't be noob tubes), but the new game modes in online, new player customization and maps should make it interesting Plus we get dedicated servers so I hope there won't be that many lagg issues

    This release is also the worst possible timing for me. Got like 4 exams this week ffs...

    Perhaps merge of all of the topics that I and Senna have made into this one?

    EDIT: About you asking for tips. It seems as though the general sensitivity has been lowered. Eg: 3 on BO feels like 2 on MW2.
    Killstreaks I'd recommend: UAV, Napalm Strike, Attack Helicopter, Chopper Gunner, Dogs, Gunship, perhaps Mortar Team
    Good guns: FAMAS, Galil, AK47, Commando, MP5K, MPL. Use the last pistol as secondary.

    Say you play on 10 sensitivity...
    With a normal (smg) class, your sensitivity will be 10.
    With a sniper class, your sensitivity will decrease to around 7ish.
    To MW2 specs.

    Saw a video today of how quick scoping doesn't work, so extremely bummed out, will have to check it out for myself to decide weather i want to return it or not.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_kYNLy1_3E

    link to the video

    It always confuses me why people go into wars about how we got here, and where we go when we die.

    Good. Screw quickscoping. It ruins the game.

    How does quickscoping ruin the game? For me it's just something else to do that's a little more fun than all the other guns. :|

    Unrealistic. Snipers are meant to snipe from a distance, not run up to closeby and expect to scope a perfect shot.

    A lot of MW2 isn't realistic at all (throwing knifes killing at feet, hitmarkers, bullet hitting exactly where you shoot at when at long distances, akimbo weapons mainly models, killstreaks especially nuke, perks, no scopes not going straight, etc.), and for me it makes it more fun that it is unrealistic... otherwise I'd be playing a game closer to being realistic (BFBC2?) a lot more instead of Black Ops anyways.

    EDIT: I'm not against getting rid of SOH Pro for snipers, but now that they have it so it's moving like crazy when you scope in and bullets don't register until 2 seconds or so is just too much and isn't too realistic itself...

    I kinda agree with this. Not that it ruins the game, more thinking about the 12-year olds that /rage when someone ISN'T using the Intervention, the flamers that, er, .. flame when you scope for half a second too long. And ofcourse the fact that it's absolutely not realistic.

    E: Iron Man, I'll add you when I get on my Xbox.

    I played it on pc, Apparently Australia was the first ones to play it?

    I stayed up at 12 so i could play it on Steam and it said the game will unlock in 8hrs..

    Retail Versions got to play it at 12 but Steam ones had to wait till 8!!

    But right now on PC MP is laggy.

    Oh, great, your one of those people, how does it ruin the game? its unrealistic? also consider that this is a game, and i play this game, to have fun, because it is a game

    quickscoping is the hardest way to kill somebody, how in the slightest ruin the game, try go to a FFA with a sniper, and an automatic, notice the difference in your K/D, so stop flaming about it, you dont understand if you are actually decent at quickscoping, as i make CoD videos this will hurt me, i know for a fact that OpTic gaming is going to make a petition for this to get it put back in, and i will make sure, that quickscoping exists in Black Ops

    It always confuses me why people go into wars about how we got here, and where we go when we die.

    It ruins other people's fun though. Snipers exist to snipe, not get into a close battle. The quickscope patch helps balance it out a lot. I don't care if you think it's hard to begin with....... now you must actually SNIPE with a SNIPER =O!!

    the fact that they made snipers so stupidly inaccurate before you snipe is silly. I could never quickscope well anyway, but on that first video it looked like they were really scoping in fully and it wasn't doing anything.

    What did you expect with the quickscoping? It was hard on world at war, which was made by the same company as black ops, so likely to be made hard again.

    Guys, I won the tournament. /happyface
    .. well, they forced me to play on PS3-controllers, (foring me to use a different button layout for the first rounds! D: ) but I eventually adapted, I think.
    Picking up the Prestige edition today. Planning to sell it on ebay or something, I'm a bit short on cash -- and I'm not really the RC-kind of guy. (*whistles at Brain* x) How much could I get for it, do you guys think?

    And, one thing that's been bothering me: what exactly happens if you knife a guy in One In The Chamber whilst already having a bullet? Do you get another bullet?

    E: ONE IN THE CHAMBER IS AWESOME BTW.

    Yes, you will have two bullets now. Knife another and will have 3, etc. Pretty cool.

    Grats on winning.

    Thanks!
    And, that's really cool. Most epic killcam would be spraying all your accumulated bullets into the final guy. Hopefully you'd get hitmarkers on all the shots; just thinking it'd be a fun way to overkill. :3
    I assume you lose your extra bullets if you die once?

    (Someone just offered me the equvalent of 343 USD for my Prestige edition. Nevermind that you can still get it online for less than half this price, .. I'm keeping my mouth shut about exactly that. Kinda sweet. x)

    Its not even at the point that anybody would want to use a sniper, lets say someone who has never picked up a sniper or doesnt even know what quickscoping is, its like 20x harder for them now because when you are looking at somebody, then zoom in you are looking at the ground.

    and no, it is not balanced. EVERY SINGLE FPS GAME HAS SOME FORM OF QUICKSCOPING IN IT, and there has not been a found way atm, but trust me, i swear that OpTic or somebody will find a way, so im not worried

    It always confuses me why people go into wars about how we got here, and where we go when we die.

    It's definetly more difficult to snipe now, sniping classes are the most underpowered now. Slightly saddening, I was exited about the russian Dragunov being in the game.

    Any thoughts on Veteran difficulty so far?
    Personally, I hate the fact that they kept the infinite spawning enemies, but that's what Treyarch does, I guess. At least the grenade spamming isn't that bad anymore. Still, it's more challenging that IW's Veteran difficulties.

    Oh, and the main reason for this post: post your favourite classes!
