Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Fuelbi]

Noooope, no thank you,
If I wanted to play Halo, I'd play Halo.
I don't think Search would be fun if you couldn't knife. stuff would become a cluster****.

... And how often do you hear people complain about imbalanced mechanics in Halo? I go to school, I hear people talking about Halo (I'm sorry, but I don't do Halo) and I NEVER hear them complain about the game EVER. Yet when I start talking CoD to people, at one point in the conversation, a bull**** kill is going to pop up one way or another then it leads to people complaining about knifing, explosives, footsteps, different weapons, BKnives (I don't get this one at all), host privileges, etc.

Exactly. CoD would be better if it were more balanced out like Halo imo

Uh... :/
Anything would be better if it were more balanced, but if it was 'balanced out like Halo'? That'd be terrible. If people think Halo is balanced, they can go ahead and think that way, but Halo's type of 'balance' wouldn't work with Call of Duty. It'd change the game up a lot. If someone wants to go play Halo, they can go play Halo. The games completely different, so I'll go ahead and embrace the changes, rather than ***** and moan.

Would you guys like the two-hit kill rifle butt? I just think that a rifle butt smashed into the opponent would better. It would also make sense (especially for akimbo weapons. wtf third arm).

Although, I can see why the knife is a one-hit kill. It just needs the lunge to be... nerfed?

 

[Sariku]

ONLYUSEmeBLADE says that knifes should only be allowed with your secondary weapon. I guess then it would be smacking someone with your gun if you have your primary out, which could become multi-hit kills. I dunno. I agree, just nerf the lunge and I'll be fine.

 

[Fuelbi]

Look, as long as they make the knife WaW bad, I'm pretty ok with it

 

[Wretched]

They need to make it so you have to take the time it takes to ADS after running to knife.

 

[:mad:]

Instead of a "OHKO" or "2HKO", I'd rather we have a melee system that played along with the damage system. ie. you pistol whip someone and it does x amount of damage. So say I shoot a 2 ASP bullets in his foot, I pistol whip melee to finish the guy off.

 

[Cyan_]

Or make knife do 90 damage to front and side, 100 in back

Oh of course, knifing at the moment is a one-hit kill or does 100 damage, it's kind of interchangeable.

Also, I like the rifle butt / knife with secondary idea. Bayonet attachment for a tactical knife-esque effect?

Oh man, automatically kill people by walking into them with a bayonet, that'd be so awesome and broken.

 

[Fuelbi]

They've already done that in WaW and it still sucked if you mean that a Bayonett attachment would be broken

I think the idea is cool too, but I still don't mind the OHKO. To me it's really just the fact someone can lunge at you from the bottom of the stairs on nuketown and get you if you're at the top.

 

[M.K]

Knifing in this (and by extension, MW2) have been so iffy for me. It seems that I have a tendency to jolt up and try to knife the throat, but I swear, half the time I whip the blade out EONS before my opponent, hit him straight in the abdomen, and still succumb to his own knife or gun shots.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Deltacod and I with our epic throwahawk and knifing shenanigans.

I got a triple bank throwahawk which tripped the guy and never actually "hit" him since my tomahawk was laying on the ground.

Deltacod got a jumpshot throwahawk over a wall as well as a double bank throwahawk and a missed ballistic knife shot that, when viewed in theatre, should have hit the guy.

Conclusion: With all the tripping that went down I have reason to believe Sakurai made this game, though the somewhat balancedness of the game throws this theory off.

Also shenanigans.

EDIT: Almost forgot the epic dolphin diving killcam that went down on Grid. <3

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

Tomahawk the most luck oriented best Lethal in the game?

It's definitely my favorite at least. Also, Commando is now my favorite gun, G11 is a monster though. Also, on the topic of knifing, I myself usually don't knife people, even in their face and I know they'd knife me. I guess some goodness in me hates knifing people.

Ballistic knife on the other hand...

 

[Fletch]

Where'd you get that impression?

They're very good, just very selfish and annoying at the same time

You just said you went under 1 KDR constantly while trying to spam cars. I'll play against a team of those players any day of the week.

 

[O D I N]

Yeah, but aren't some guns made out of plastic or something?

So they can be concealable AND be a projectile at the same time

Yeah, they're not exactly LEGAL either...

My point being, guns are just as illegal as carrying a knife, or at least a knife of that size (combat knife we'll call it).

Interesting post on that one.

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/usc_sec_15_00001245----000-.html

So I can find several pages saying that they ARE illegal... Just nothing that says WHY they're illegal. O_o

 

[Grandeza]

I really hate when I'm shooting at someone and they just rambo through my bullets and knife me. Also, zombies is sooo fun. Kino is pretty small though. Got up to round 14 yesterday and was pretty surprised when all the doors were opened up.

 

[Yo$himan]

Anyone interested in playing today? I just got the game last week(WARNING: I won't play with you if you're under 15 years of age.)

User: yoshimanssbm(XBOX)

I'll be on at 4pm, because that is when I get off work.

Welcome to lag, I really don't have to worry about it since I play on fiberoptics(University Campus).

I don't think I feel like playing tonight, but you need to probably tell people what console you're using

 

[Yo$himan]

ok, fixed that post. What console do you play on?

 

[Sariku]

I play on PSN anyways,
Sorry, man.

Black ops is balanced. There are just so many different options that it comes down to who makes the right choices(excluding player skill). Such as, if someone is shooting at you, run behind something until their clip runs out then shoot them(this works too much).

 

[Wave⁂]

I think Black Ops is fairly balanced. When it comes to the guns, one gun coming out on top is inevitable. When it comes to perks, well it's impossible to balance something where the choices are so dependent of the playstyle. Sure, I could take Flakjacket, Tactical Mask, and Claymore with my AK74u, but I'd rather have Lightweight, Marathon, and C4.

I'm close to destroying this game right now. I ****ing hate playing with randoms, and I hate people who are ****ing stupid, I really do.

You're bad if you:

1. Use RC car
2. Ghost and run behind people the whole game
3. Panic knife
4. Sit in corners with claymores watching them
5. Use the ak74u with rapid fire and grip

I don't think I can take it anymore, it's pathetic. And by the way, it drives me crazy when I have a spy plane up and people run right by red dots. Those are the enemies for all of those who aren't aware. Usually helps to pay attention to the radar that tells you where everyone is, you know.

Edit: Forgot to say that the spawn system in this game is worse than any other CoD game. Spawn killed 4 times in a row where I got to live for no more than 3 seconds each time. Not nuketown.

Maybe start playing with friends? Randoms are usually just there for cannon folder.

 

[Yo$himan]

You're good if you:

1. Shoot the RC car
2. Don't get killed by people with ghost.
3. Bait the panic knife, then knife them.
4. Don't blindly run around.
5. Use the ak74u with acog and silencer.

I usually always play with friends. They are easier to trust to watch your back. Join a clan. You can join mine, we always destroy everyone when we are on as a group.

Of course it's easy to pwn randoms in a team lol. You're with people who actually look at the mini-map and do stuff and ****.

 

[F8AL]

It also helps if you know all the map callouts. Big plus. (Obv.)

I love how they put the map section name on the maps. It makes it much easier than deciding on names ourselves.

 

[Pikaville]

Ok so I haven't been able to post since the game came out but now I'm back, so I'll throw in my opinion.

I love the game, I find it extremely refreshing that I can play without fear of annoying snipers/noob tubers at the back of the map killing me.

The spawns on a few of the maps are dodgy,(Nuketown and Summit being the worst IMO) but after a while you just learn where/when they are gonna spawn behind/beside you.

Finally I'll tell you guys my setup.

Galil w/ Reflex and Suppressor.

Ballistic knife.

Semtex, Flashes and Claymore

Hardline, Warlord and 2nd chance.

Cheese graters gonna grate

 

[kr3wman]

captains obvious are gonna post obvious stuff?

 

[Sariku]

So, does anyone here not use Sleight of Hand, and if so, how do you possibly pull that off? I can't ever go positive when it takes me five seconds to reload, D:

 

[Yo$himan]

well, I use slide of hand for sniping and warlord for everything else. You just have to use the terrain to your advantage, reload after every kill and react faster. Some times you will have to switch to your secondary weapon if you're fighting off a big group. Also, make sure you're being accurate, it only takes about 1/3 of my clip to kill someone.

Yaaaah. Everything is easier said than done.

I never use anything else. Getting the extra ADS time makes the difference along with the faster reloading, especially when getting the first shot off is so crucial. No point in using anything else.

RC cars are the only thing that make me wanna break this game.

2. Ghost and run behind people the whole game

Watch your back more. It's called flanking, it's how I wipe out entire enemy teams because they focus on any red dot that shows up on a screen.

Man I love decoys.

Yeah but you play on PS3 so it doesn't count.

I have 900+ RCs called in during my first prestige.

 

[Yo$himan]

I only use default killstreaks haven't bought anything else.
