Call of Duty: Black Ops

[ZIO]

I want to see maps with multiple floors in this game.

Or just larger maps.

It also couldn't help for them to take pointers from other multiplayer games to fix their game type, such as for CTF - they should make it so the flag carrier can't attack, like in Halo. Something like allowing them to shoots as well, bugs me. That, and make it so to recover a flag isn't instantaneous, but have some recovery time.

I'm gonna go with lag. It happens sometimes, and it's annoying, but there is going to be delay in system communication with your net and then communicating that to everyone you're playing with and vice versa.

Maybe one day when we're all on fiber optic/something faster, it won't be an issue.

Dedicated servers. Removes host advantage so people with Walmart modems don't get host. You're basically paying for poor P2P on the 360.

@ Chaoser: Please be respectful when posting questions in this thread in the future, thank you.

Quickscoping is coming back! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Before I watched the video I figured it would be another pathetic attempt by someone from optic nation or w/e to "bring back quickscoping". I'm glad it's not the case and that it's actually a decision made by people at Treyarch.

The problem with this is mainly how the health system is in this game. In Halo, you can deal with not being able to attack because you can take a lot more shots, so a team that's capable of covering your escape can actually allow you to make a capture. Similarly, for returning, in Halo you can withstand a grenade, and you have Bubble Shields or whatnot to help you defend yourself from outside attack. In CoD, you can eat maybe 5 bullets, at max range, but it's more like 3. Also, a well placed explosive on the team trying to return the flag would wipe them all out and make it nigh impossible to accomplish this goal. So, the game becomes somewhat broken. The team that has grabbed a flag can slowly but surely make their way to their base, as the defending side will have an impossible time recovering it.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

Chaoser, I was being fairly generous in answering you because the feeling being ignored is something I personally hate. I doubt it'll happen again.

I got quickscoped about 10 times today. It was pretty stupid.

I don't make much of it, but it's going to start bothering me, I can tell. I don't like to bash people that quickscope, but I know they all think they're the most talented players in the world. If I start hearing people complain about hard scoping and such, I'm going to **** a brick. Not once have I heard that in this game and I really don't care to start hearing it again.

Quickscoping shouldn't be a measure of skill, but the scrubby children still believe it to be the most accurate measure of skill today. It doesn't mean anything, stop saying it's skillful.

This also means that people are once again going to get extremely unique/original with their gamertags. xXxXS0OooO0SiIIIiiiKsNipEz000rrrXxXx returns.

I think this is a bad move on Treyarchs part.

^ can't quickscope ^

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

@Banjo: you just mad, 1v1 quickscope me

jk I hate people like that too. Gets on my nerves when someone thinks they're amazing because they can quickscope, and only quickscope you. I mean back in mw2 I believe I've quickscoped a few people because the situation called for it and not because I want to get a montage clip of me shooting 3-4 times across the map and then finally getting the kill, or in 's case, a hitmarker

 

[Wretched]

SuSa, if you scope in, switch to your secondary and back by pressing triangle and shoot, your bullets keep the same spread.
It hasn't been officially confirmed but I saw someone do it.

 

[Delta-cod]

I was spawn tubed today.

-.-

I can quickscope really well, but that doesn't mean I support it. Clearly this game is not meant to be realistic, but in some aspects it is. They were trying to make sniping more realistic, and they did, but now they're catering to the wants of the 12 year olds. These are the 12 year olds who join my lobbies, go to the nearest ladder, jump off and hit YY and try to no scope somebody across the map for 15 minutes straight for a cute montage clip.

I don't understand why these people raise their arms in confusion when I scream at them over the mic. I want to play and win the game, so if you want to quickscope, don't do it in my game. I don't care for the "it's fun" argument either. Although it is fun sometimes, it's pretty stupid. It's extremely inconsistent and will never be as good as using a regular gun, meaning however many players on my team running around quickscoping are usually being useless. Some people are good at it, but no one can be perfect.

Overall, I guess I just don't understand their choice. They made sniping what they wanted, what most people wanted, and what most people agreed upon. Yet, this small community still succeeds in swaying the developers to change what was already good to something obnoxious. The part I hate is how crippling it is to a team when people do this. It's stupid to see someone go 4-50 quickscoping when they could have actually helped the team out.

For entertainment purposes in FFA gametypes, yes. For montage clips and ****ing around in team based games, no.

 

[SuSa]

What's funny is the post that video was about was obscure, and I read it the moment it was posted.

Didn't seem any quickscope-related thing to me at all.

Also if you're going negative quickscoping, you suck. Learn how to actually aim and quickscope. Sadly, people don't. But it's no different than the people trying to run around with a pistol or marathon+lightweight knife only.

 

[:mad:]

THE UPDATE JUST WENT THROUGH

I'M QUICKSCOPIN'

YEAHHHHHHHHGHHHHHHGHHH <c

 

[Hot_ArmS]

wait so if i get on black ops now, i can quickscope again???

that was fast haha

 

[ZIO]

Well, something about the capture the flag needs to be done.

I, while working on Marathon pro, did not enjoy my overall experiences. Something about the whole game type annoys me. While many other game types don't bother me as much, such as SandD and Demolition. And there were many who felt the same.

Many games would end in a stale mate because people refused to leave from their flag.

Also - I don't hate on Quick scoping. It's something people like to do. Just gotta be more accurate in a shot than I could hope to be, so I don't try it.

...fuc k

 

[PowerBomb]

Anyone know how to make a good-looking Poke Ball emblem? I'm not sure if there's a half circle emblem lying around since I can't find one.

 

[Sariku]

you have to layer like a crazy person to make the half circles, dear,
ANd yeah. they need to make marathon pro like, cap 10 dom points or something >>;

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Now how exactly did they fix quickscoping? Did they do something to SoH?

 

[Sariku]

And, SuSa rocks. Epic Valkyrie final kill cam.<333

 

[:mad:]

No, they just changed the way you scope in normally. It's essentially CoD4 quickscoping mixed with Black Ops sniping. It's still hard to do but they made it possible.

 

[PowerBomb]

ANd yeah. they need to make marathon pro like, cap 10 dom points or something >>;

God dang. That hurts D:

Capture the Flag is pretty fun, but they should make it 10 flag caps, not 15. It's really difficult playing CTF with randoms.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Is SoH needed? Like, how do you do it in black ops? It'd be better to know then not know anything about it......

 

[:mad:]

Sleight of Hand never did and never will make a difference in how you quickscope and I don't know what made you think that.

Just imagine them fixing the scope system. When you scope in, the bullet flies straight; it doesn't go all over the place.

 

[SuSa]

I don't think me and Sariku haven't been top2 on our team any more than 10 times.... one of us is ALWAYS top2 if it's not BOTH of us... and we've lost maybe 1/5 games if not less?

<3 a good teammate

I saved my Valkyrie thing.. any way to show you guys via theatre? lol

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Sleight of Hand never did and never will make a difference in how you quickscope and I don't know what made you think that.

Are you talking about black ops? Because that's why every quickscoping class I saw in mw2 consisted of SoH, SP and Ninja..........

 

[:mad:]

Of course I'm talking about Black Ops, this is the Call of Duty: Black Ops thread.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Of course I'm talking about Black Ops, this is the Call of Duty: Black Ops thread.

Ok, your post just made it sound like you were talking about quickscoping as a whole. And I asked about SoH because not only was the scope system off, they also excluded sniper rifles from the faster scope-in via SoH Pro.

 

[Sariku]

yeah, me and SuSa are ****** kids<3
So SuSa, it was a pretty epic fight over airspace, huh?

 

[SuSa]

Very much so.

Once Theatre decides to work for me I'll see what I can do about the Valkryie thing. =P

 

[Master Xanthan]

Is it easier to get 1 shot kills now too? In this game I seem to get so many hitmarkers even if I aim for the chest and up.

 

[Fletch]

Please someone get info on the new multipliers (if they indeed changed them) on the sniper rifles. That would really encourage me to go get this game this week, I love sniping.

 

[F8AL]

I was spawn tubed today.

-.-

I thought they fixed that in Black Ops. Couldn't fire noob tubes into the air for the first 10 seconds or something like in WaW.

EDIT:

To all my American friends in this thread:

Happy (American) Thanksgiving!!!!

 

[Wretched]

They do canadian thanksgiving right?
They have él dia de el accion de gracias in spain and mexico.

Yes. We had ours last month.

You said it was hard to do before. How is it different from MW2 QS?

 

[kr3wman]

Even if snipers were buffed to hell I wouldn't play with them considering no maps were built with people using snipers in mind.

 

[Fletch]

You said it was hard to do before. How is it different from MW2 QS?

Still no SoH Pro effect, that's what brought MW2 quickscoping to a level that people starting complaining about.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

im betting that the map packs in the future will be more sniper friendly

edit: are you sure the update went through? my brother says it feels the same and i havent needed to download anything (he said youd need to download an update if treyarch changed anything)

So you hate the Ballistic Knife as well?
