CoD Addicts Thread

I haven't been online yet for this reason, and I'll probably take the same approach. In the meantime, I've having a blast in the combat training section. Yeah yeah yeah, it's only computer opponents. But guess what? Computer opponents don't camp, exploit game flaws, act like assholes over the mic, or go 2-17 if they're on your team. And the best part: no lag. NONE! It's also a great practice ground for weapons & tactics you're not used to without affecting any in-game stats like K/D (if you care about that sort of thing). I've been like a kid in a candy store with Scavenger + Ballistic Knife + Tomahawk. I think whenever I get good enough with this setup, I'm gonna stick to it exclusively online. Maybe switch out for the crossbow if I end up liking it better.

And for those of you who think you're King of CoD, I defy you to play FFA on Veteran and not get your ass beat like Rihanna. As it is right now, I can barely go even playing on Hardened.

 

So I feel dumb. All I had to do was check for a Game Mode on it. A big thank you to the people who tried helping, I got way more response than I'd expected. I love you, TiB.

Anyone up for a party?

 

At the end of a short multiplayer session last night I decided to finally give the zombies mode a go. I played it a few times on WaW and thought it was great, so I don't know why I waited this long to play it, but whatever.

I was hoping to get into a game with people that kinda had a feel for how the levels went a had some grasp of team tactics, but I was aiming way too high with those aspirations. Nobody would leave party chat to communicate with the team as a whole, no one seemed to have any tactics or plan of attack, and everyone was pretty much on their own. After having multiple games like this, I got frustrated and just turned it off.

This has so much potential to be great and at the same time horrible given the games I had last night. I'm gonna keep trying, hoping to find someone that actually speaks during gameplay, but at least now my expectations aren't nearly as high.

 

I just ended a perfect game. 19-0. Congrats to me for being so awesome. TDM at the map with that big fountain in the middle, no idea what it's called. Anywho, I had AK-74u with silencer and random pickups from my victims as my secondaries. I stayed mostly in the large house and ran between sides shooting anyone who tried to challenge my dominance. There were a couple times I almost died when they gang rushed me with flashies, but I was able to hold them off. I used my rc car, napalm (which sucked), and the Cobra. Highest K/D ratio of 19.00. Muahahahaa!!

 

New Sandy Ravage vid, 55-4 playing Dom on Grid with the SPAS-12.

Granted, Sandy didn't really play the objective on this one and went TDM-style, but still. From 3:50 on he just goes on a total fucking rampage.

 

I just don't get how you guys can stand having so much HP/guns doing so little damage. 3-4 shots with the spas or 8 with a pistol? I'd go crazy.

 

Honestly Maltob, I feel like every single gun in MW2 was overpowered. It was simply a matter of who could react faster, rather than who has the better aim. Granted, the higher damage is more realistic, but nobody plays these games for realism. Besides, it gives way to the spray-and-pray method. For someone with a TAR or AK, you could just turn the corner and paint bullets in the general direction of your opponent, and you're fine as long as 2 or 3 of them hit. Or with shotguns, the hipfire spread would do most of the damage. I've had to pick my shots a bit more carefully playing Black Ops. Naturally, this game is going to favor players who are typically conservative with their shots (me being one of them), not the ones who unload an entire clip every time they enter a room.

Ultimately, I think the entire community will be better off for it.

 

Welcome to Black-Ops. It's actually just terrible hit detection and lag. Sometimes you'll be strafing your fire dead-on with a target and it'll take a clip. But if you lead the target it can take 3 bullets. OR and I doubt this assI say it, they have higher and better hit detection and headshots really count where as shooting someone on the hand or arm won't kill them. There is a stat chart that shows you where you do most of your damage.

I have to say, if they took MW2s game play and switched it with everything that is not actual gameplay of Black Ops, it'd be the perfect game. Except for the banners and icons. I miss my witty banners.

The Decoy Grenade is honestly the greatest thing in the whole wide world besides claymores. Oh and fuck that Scavenger can't give me more claymores. That sucks.

 

Pretty cool but the RPG jump at the end needs to be done from different angles

Edit: Apparently if you place C-4 on your teammates car it will fall off if they drive too fast.

 

As far as hit detection goes, I've had success taking advantage of the aim assist. I just tap the sight button again to re-acquire targets on the move. Maybe its all in my head but I think it helps. Anyone else try this?

 

Reading all this there is no way I'm getting Black Ops. I make my living on MW2 with one shot kills with the M16 + stopping power. If I can't do that, it's going to fucking suck. I've always preferred 3 round burst guns in FPS'ers because you don't have to adjust for recoil and they tend to do a lot more damage than any other gun. All the new features sound pretty interesting but the guns being dialed down is a deal breaker for me. Long live MW2.

 

No, long live Infinity Ward. Fuck Treyarch, they can go jump off a bridge. The only useful thing they do is toss in Nazi Zombies.

 

No, fuck Activision for pushing for a COD game every holiday season. If they accepted the fact that it takes at least 2 years just to make a decent game - even longer for a good one - we wouldn't be sitting around every November bitching about some game flaw that has no purpose being there:



Positive note about the video: check out xcalizorz's channel. He's very entertaining and posts some great gameplay.

 

Yea, but I betcha anything if Activision said "Hey, Infinity Ward, mind hiring twice as many people? We're sick of Treyarch and want to give you twice as much business" you wouldn't hear groans and complaints. Infinity would hire the people they need to fill the demand. The game would be made following Infinity standards, rather than Treyarchs "how many gimmicks can we throw in that people will call revolutionary changes to distract from the fact that we just cannot create a game as well as Infinity Ward can?" standards. It would be... dare I say, fantastic.

 

All MW2 and any subsequent Sledgehammer Games (looks like they're the next developers) need is beta testing. If MW2 was beta tested most of the bullshit would have been dealt with. But no, that would be infringing on Treyarch's playtime as if they were kids and needed to be babysat by Activision. Fuck it, let the Blizzard side of the company take over. Mowing down hordes of sand naggers with my ACR wielding barbarian? Hell yea. I wonder how many SoJ's that'd be worth...

 

The G11 (last unlockable assault rifle) is like a MW2 FAMAS red dot sight. I've gotten 3 kills in the game winning killcam with it. Downside is that you only get it at level 44.. Especially when you're a prestige whore like me. Still, I highly recommend it (without any attachments).

Also holy shit Maltob, you played D2 too?

 

I have no idea how you're doing this. It's hit or miss for me. Even when a guy is barreling at me, I'm hard pressed to shoot less than 3 bursts into the guy's midsection, hoping the game registers that I shot first.

 

I never understood this. How hard is it to get one company to make the game? Why are both IW and Treyarch in on this? I'm pretty sure if they stuck to one company (preferably IW), all the bullshit would go away.

It's still Activision's fault.

 

I wanted to readdress this. I found a video by Blame Truth from back in May where he explains what's wrong with the guns better than I did. The relevant part begins at 6:26, but the whole video is worth watching.
