Gaming Official: Call of Duty Black Ops

Good games. Time fecking flies by, can't believe it's 3am. Probably be on tomorrow after the football.

There we go.

I'm not counting that last death because I was in a Huey gunner seat from which the game was won.
 
I suck on Console FPS games, don't dare playing you guys on this. Might end up being killed by Spammy:nervous:
 
What's Black Ops like for getting a good connection Sharky? MW2 was an absolute nightmare. It was litterally about 2 weeks from when I bought it to when I got my first green connection.

Very very very shit thus far. To be fair it uses Dedicated Servers and not peer to peer hosting but finding and getting into a game is a pain in the ass.

(the way they've coded the in game server browser is stupid - it shows the server and how many people are in it but it won't let you join until its finished loading the entire list of every server from around the world)

You don't have to be good. You can just shoot roughly where I was standing 5 seconds ago and you'd kill me. Or, even better, just stab within 100 meters of me and somehow the kill cam will show you stabbing me while I stand there with my thumb up my anus.
 
I just got this game today, so one of these days I'll have to add you guys and see what the connection is like. I'm Australian so it'll probably be shit, but it's worth a try considering my normal gaming time is after midnight and you guys will probably be playing.
 
Have discovered wager match. Am addicted. After placing out of the money by 25 points first time around I've gone 1st. 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd.

I'm really much cop at CoD but I played a shitload of free for all on MW so I know the mechanics better than most (ie every 2 seconds check you haven't been blindsided, which is how I get 90% of my kills)
 
I've played mostly Sharpshooter so far - which has taught me that I fecking fail with the crossbow. That and I've yet to find the 'sweet spot' for shotgun range as it were.

That said all the UT2004 I played in highschool payed off - when it switched us to rocket launchers everyone was trying to shoot everyone else in the face, but I knew the drill - shoot it at their feet, or where their feet will be in half a second.
 
Loving the domination matches. Actually pulling my weight in these ones.
 
Lol, my team had the map dominateds for a good while, and I was defending one of the flags from above, the enemy came up, simple headshot. Then I moved down, hid, watched the same guy come back again, chuck a grenade up where I had been, then walk forward with his gun trained where I had been. So I walked up behind him, gave him a second or two of capturing, then stabbed him! Third time, he comes, I get him from above again, 4th time, I stab him in the back from behind! Twas a good larf
 
Call of duty should be banned!!!11!1!

Call Of Duty' is known perversely by empty headed
gaming fanatics as "CoD" .
What it is is a complete and utter Mickey
Take of the fine job that our servicemen and women are completing
everyday in Britains fight for national security!
It pains me to even watch anybody playing this complete and utter clap
trap. What is morally correct about something that sparks only an
excitement for bloodlust in spotty teenagers, who possess about as
much drive in life as a mule with four broken legs, and propels them
towards terrible crimes in the future!!
Images shown in this give kids the scent of the apparent 'joy of
killing' and collectively groups together the Assasins and Murderers
that will be present on our streets for years to come!
This pile of homocidal misery is the perfect example of how a gaming
nerd is able to gain a badge of honour by doing nothing but visually
pretend to be a mass murderer. Call of Duty apparently increases your
game prowess by rewarding you with ranks to coincide with the number
of enemies and perfectly innocent citizens you have killed, these are
unremorsefully named Prestiges.

Now, i'm sorry,but the last time I checked you gained rank in the
miliatary via your leadership and teamwork ability not depending on
how big of a gun toting nutcase you are.
A rank is meant to represent how great a stature and decree you bring
to the forces, not a representation of the next Hannibal lecter!

Yet these geeks enjoy nothing more than to brag about these
cataclismically barbaric achievements and their lives become obsessed
with trying to get a higher level than everybody else!
" Errrm I've got more prestige than you!" which is very often followed
by,
" Oooh I bet i can get more headkills than you!!" and my personal
favourite,
" I bet my Kill to Death Ratio is bigger than your Kill to Death
Ratio!" A comment that only says one of their assets definately isn't
bigger than mine, if you know what I mean?! (Wink Wink)

The list is endless of the remarks they'll invent to try and feel king
of the castle in nothing but a bunch of bloodthirsty Jesters.
You just wish sometimes when you're around them that the government
would bring back national service just so these jumped up, death
inducers can experience the military for themselves and realise the
consequences of this short sighted, demoralising, deceitful pile of
complete and utter time wasting rubbish.

I'm not saying that all players turn out like this, thats an unfair
judgement, but if we let it continue then the obsession could
overpower the real world.

So please, help to ban this game. The next time you see somebody
playing this horrific death match, don't just dismiss it as a harmless
past time. Stop and think what the consequences of its introduction
could be and how it could spiral out of control in the future.
Or, one day, games consoles will turn out to be the better parents to
these nerds, and all because "They've got more prestige than you!!!!!"

Now before anyone else has a go at me like someone did earlier this group has been put up to see how many people don't actually like Call Of Duty and is not working to offend those who play it. The description is part of my second place winning speech that I performed at the Chesterfield Rotary Club Public Speaking competition in April and is based around not only my views but those of others such of friends and relatives of whom i quizzed in order to find ideas and arguements against the game to write my speech. The speech itself is just a humerisation of the sereotype and is not based on anyone i actually know so before anyone else mouths off about this apparently beloved piece of teenage culture, remember its not talking about you in general!!! Also this speaks in favour of the armed services and not to ridicule them in anyway because at the end of the day, the game does that through its lack of compasion and real world emphasis as it does not allow players to take the consequences of death into account and becomes a killing spree

So much of that post is wrong if you were being serious... chill out dude. If you're wanting to find out how many people don't like Call of Duty it's best to ask those people, not to ask those who DO like it. Which by the way includes many many many many thousands of service men you think it degrades.
 
Lol zarlak, Ive been playing like mad (when activisions servers will let me) over the last few days. I was just lolling at what I found on facebook

Haha sorry pal, didn't see any indication of that, I thought you were going all serious! I need to take a break I'm 1000xp from level 40. I put in 12 hours straight without realising the other day... surely that can't be good for me.

I love doing stuff like that. You just move to a different position each time and he'll come running back expecting you and then you pop out and knife him. I had one guy who came back to where I was 5 times and I took him out each time in different ways.

You don't do that Sicknote Sol, you just crawl around on your arse begging us for needles. 'I need it man, I need it to live!'
 
:lol: Now now lads, save the handbags for during the game! Thank god I unlocked the higher games, I was consistently 4-15 in the deathmatches. Pretty embarrasing when my team lost by one or two kiils!
 
I need to get to know the maps better though, snipers have a field day with me.
 
I just got a care package land in front of me as the round ended.
