Call of Duty: Black Ops

[JBHuskers]

There are moments where I feel like I'm practically the only gamer not playing Black Ops.

I'm not playing it either, but I do know how you feel.

I'm not either

[AustinWolv]

I haven't played it yet, although I do have it. LOL.

You guys are definitely not alone. The new perk system has ruined the game for me. If I wanted to play CTF, Demolition, or Sabotage, I would play them but I don't want to so I never did. Now, because of the stupid new system for unlocking perks, I either HAVE to, or never unlock the Pro version of some of the better perks in the game. Hence, I'm no longer playing it.

The perk thing isn't a big deal to me at all. I use the same perks in every single class, and I couldn't care less what the pro version even does. Give me my Commando with a suppressor and I wont even need my perks.

Fixed.

First Strike DLC (New MP maps, new zombie map) comes out Feb. 1.

First COD: Black Ops Double XP weekend will be Feb. 4-6.

unless you are on ps3 then it is march

Some of the perks are just a pain to get the pro version. Gas Mask Pro/Flak Jacket pro/marathon pro are a huge pain in the ass...and of course if you like to prestige there is no point in getting the pro version. I think if u unlock the pro version maybe it should always be available (as soon as u repurchase the perk upon re-prestige)

i think the only pro versions i get now that i prestige every time is hardline pro/ghost pro/ and sleight of hand pro because you can do those in HQ/Dom/TDM/FFA pretty easily.

(must not get drawn back into this retarded horrible FPS...)

fsuprime - yeah, I forgot it was an 360 timed exclusive. It makes sense financially for Treyarch to do it, but now it makes them look bad with the online issues & hacks they've run into on the PS3 side.

I played a ton of Black Ops one night last week with JB & cccgolfer08. I wish the Zombie mode was a little deeper and online is like it always has been on COD. Fun for a while, but also aggravating.

[fsuprime]

the main thing that might make me purchase the map pack is the new zombie map they are adding. online is fun if you have 2+ ppl playing, if not i stick to FFA to keep my frustration levels down.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah, but I wish there were like three zombie maps instead of just one.

[oweb26]

JB I am not sure whether you are referring to the DLC or the game. There is a code to unlock one more zombie map, that you can get off the internet, or you can simply beat the single player.

Talking about DLC. Wish the pack had more than just one zombie map for $15 since I'm not going to play the multiplayer all that much.

It wasn't Treyarch that did the exclusive deal with Microsoft, it was all Activision right before the launch of MW2. I think this is year 2 of a 5 year deal where all Call of Duty DLC comes out on 360 one month before PS3. It makes sense, not only does Call of Duty games sell a lot better on 360, but they even play a lot better.

[Violator]

but they even play a lot better.

ohh yeah? they have a place where there arent 13 year old boys screaming and calling you a noob and that they pwnzed you?

[I OU a Beatn]

I meant game play wise. PS3 version has huge frame rate drops, lag, really bad host advantage, and a bunch of different glitches. None of those things are evident in the 360 version. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if the PS3 version was intentionally gimped since Activision and Microsoft always work together closely.

ok so.. I made it to level 50 in online multi player..so what happens now ? what did I get for that ?

everything after that is elite 1-2-3 ? what do i get for that ?

[SmoothPancakes]

You get to consider your e-penis in the Call of Duty world to be half an inch bigger.

aside from that, what else ? I use the metric system anyway

i'm not some spaz teenager, I hardly get 10 or more kills in a game and still have no clue how to get to use a helicopter to shoot people ?

[I OU a Beatn]

You get the helicopter and other stuff like that by getting multiple kills in a row. There should be a spot on the menu where you can pick your killstreaks, with the really good ones starting at like 7 kills in a row without dying. As for reaching the final level, you can either stay there and continue playing without ranking up, or you can prestige, lose all your weapons and unlocks, and start ranking up again from level 1.
