Call of Duty: Black Ops

[wick3d_y4yo]

Here's the story.... COD 7 (http://kotaku.com/5527676/report-call-of-duty-7-goin-to-vietnam)

Does anyone care is the real question... I for one am done with COD series as a whole unless it gets COMPLETELY reinvented and new but knowing Treyarch it will be another re-hash and hope it sells like MW2 :cry:

[David_3033]

I am kind of excited to see how this one turns out especially since it is Vietnam and a good change of scenery from the usual WWII which everyone always does... I personally liked World at War, the multiplayer was a little annoying with those stupid dogs and guys running around with flame throwers all the time though.

[DaCajun]

Ok I changed the title of this topic because Call of Duty Black Ops is the official name of the game now. There is a website up with nothing on it yet but their twitter says a trailer will release tonight after midnight at (0040) 12:40 am on SPIKE TV. Odd time WTF? These people have a funny way of telling time because it said Friday night at 12:40am. To me that would be the beginning of Saturday. Anyway here is a link to the Official website: http://www.callofduty.com/blackops/

[Timmy_2_Tones]

The fact that this is Vietnam, makes it so I will buy it. Even though I hated W@W, I didn't like how treyarch made the game and I got so tired of the WWII theme. I am stoked for this game I just hope treyarch doesn't screw it up.

[DaCajun]

Just Keep your eyes peeled in the New Game Trailers (http://usmilitarygamers.com/community/viewforum.php?f=67) subforum under the Video/Trailer forum for the trailer of this game. I will post it there as soon as it is out and on a medium I can embed in our forums.

great new footage shown today @ E3, hopefully we'll get the vids up soon. Showed a sequence where you control a helicopter and blow stuff up, it was pretty sweet.

Vehicles in a CoD game!?!?!

[MaximusR3]

yes sir. hopefully it will be all over youtube soon

[saviger]

yes sir. hopefully it will be all over youtube soon

I'm still more excited for MoH. Mw2 has left a bad taste in my mouth, with all the glitchers, cheats and lag switches.

looks good hopefully treyarch brings back zombies that would be awesome

[River_Rat_459]

The tunnel sequence in that video was pretty intense, even if it was just a game. Makes you wonder how the real tunnel rats in Vietnam were able to did it. The helicopter stuff looked to be above and beyond what BC2 has.

[Ironhide400]

This looks like it could be pretty good. Hopefully the have learned from their previous games.

[MaximusR3]

there was a lot more coverage tonight on G4, i'll be trying to find as many videos as i can with more gameplay footage. One mission has you commanding a squad from the cockpit of an SR71 and then you switch down and continue the mission as one of the soldiers on foot.

I would love to see video of that

[MaximusR3]

ok here's part 1 of the G4 coverage, more of what we saw at the Microsoft press conference with a lot more Helicopter gameplay and discussion
[youtube:246bhqyh]ob29Viv_h24[/youtube:246bhqyh]

[MaximusR3]

and here's part two with the SR71 mission. I'm not overly satisfied with the quality so i'll be watching for when G4 uploads it
[youtube:1ml7d3wf]4PRBIiJqOYk[/youtube:1ml7d3wf]

[David_3033]

I don't know about you guys but after watching those videos I think this is a definite buy for me. I think it looks like a hell of a lot of fun. They said they might have some coop too... This and MOH are the top of my must have list right now and maybe Ghost recon too.

[MaximusR3]

my must have list has been steadily growing, along with my potential haves list. Unfortunately it's going to take a lot of cash to back these ever growing lists....

[Pakman3000]

Sweet! I was just about to post this! Finally REPLAY!

[justj12479]

I just got this teaser trailer in my email inbox and it looks completely awesome, I can't wait. :D

[Ironhide400]

This looks pretty sweet!

[MARDIGRA21]

Lovin the new multiplayer trailer looking good, god I hope treyarch brings back Nazi zombies

[MaximusR3]

they have dropped hints of a return of zombies

[David_3033]

That game looks awesome!! I knew some game would come out with a crossbow, that's badass!!!

[WrenchSlinger]

Sweet video!! Looks like the shooting knife is Treyarch's answer to the throwing knife.

[Pakman3000]

Sweet video!! Looks like the shooting knife is Treyarch's answer to the throwing knife.

FYI That's actually a Russian military/Spetznaz weapon. It's a ballistic knife.

Thanks, my son has been asking me what kind of knife that was.

[indyred99]

Was never a fan of WAW. This game by them looks pretty fun though. Will have to try it.

[MARDIGRA21]

I think I'll stick with the regular version

[wick3d_y4yo]

After the crap GOW3 collectors edition I've given up on anything and everything that is more than $60. I'd rather spend the money on more games!! Especially in a very busy upcoming gaming fall! :D :o :D

Add edit: Although I did love the little Enzio statue from the AC2 Collecters Edition. My wife h8's it and maybe that's why I like it so much! :D

[MaximusR3]

Looks like Best Buy Canada has let the cat out of the bag on the Zombie mode. On their site they included in the game details that the hardened edition would include “Four Zombie Maps Pack made famous from COD: World at War.�

get your zombie beating sticks ready :mrgreen:

[Sseminole]

I'm real exciting for this game. With the multiplayer trailer, I noticed a couple of new things being:

Clan tag on guns
Smiley face for red dot sight
Being able to do barrelroll? I think?

And of course, theater mode.

[Ironhide400]

I will be buying the regular edition. The prestige hardened edition with the remote control truck is pretty cool though! ;)

[GriffinSentinel]

I got the multi-player teaser for you to enjoy.

It all sounds great, but I think I'll go for the hardened edition again. The $150 price tag is a bit too rich for my blood. Even if the RC C-4 is very nice indeed.

[wick3d_y4yo]

God I h8 when they make you buy more expensive editions to get more muti-player maps. I don't care about the suit or the car, or the special case. But I think it's crap when they hand out additional maps for people who pay extra....gay gay gay :evil:

Same here. But they will sell them on XBL/PSN eventually. It's just a waiting game. But at least XBL will get it first. :D

Yup, I'm probably gonna save the money on this one and wait for the map packs to be sold seperately. Don't think I need a special Black Ops Avatar outfit! :lol: :lol:

[WrenchSlinger]

I think those 4 extra maps are going to be the Zombie maps from World at War.

[GriffinSentinel]

I think those 4 extra maps are going to be the Zombie maps from World at War.

According to Best Buy, you are correct. But again I have a feeling they will be sold on XBL/PSN at some point in the future. It just doesn't make sense to make those maps and not bank on them in the long run. They're just giving more incentive to buy the Hardened/Prestige Editions. So if you don't care about them right away, then just sit back and wait it out.

[Bull3tBait]

On amazon it's a different Avatar outfit and I like it better than the flight suit.

I did preorder the Prestige Edition from Amazon but mostly because I'm a sucker for RC Cars. I have 3 of them :? I am going to have to hide this one from my children tho so now I'm starting to rethink if it is such a good idea. Maybe if I offer them my other "formerly off limits" ones they will be happy? idk with onboard video I somehow don't think they will feel that way.

[MsJohannah]

I heard a rumor that girl's will be in this one... like you can choose a girl... no idea how true this rumor is... but I'm going to wait and find out.

[River_Rat_459]

USAToday.com posted their impressions of the campaign mode of this game:


Momentum is building for Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops, developed by Treyarch and launching on November 9 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and PC.

While multiplayer details are to be unveiled next week, Game Hunters recently had a single-player campaign walkthrough at a Microsoft media event in Toronto.

Before you read on, consider this a spoiler alert:

The year is 1968 and you are Sargent Mason, in charge of a Special Forces platoon in a remote Vietnamese village. Your chopper is shot down behind enemy lines, but at least your Black Ops team survived and you're poised to perform your call of duty: investigate Soviet involvement in the area and find General Kravchenko.

Wading through water, you'll sneak up on VC boat and take down the Vietcong as stealthily as possible. While knives perform most melee moves well, firepower will be required for distant threats. This was an ideal time to show off Treyarch's "bullet time" effect, where the camera followed the slug from the barrel of your rifle to the forehead of an enemy, in slow-mo, resulting in one dramatic blood spray. These kinds of cinematic moments are peppered throughout the level.

As you infiltrate this swampy village -- weaving between huts, kneeling behind tall grass and fences, and making your way around pigs and chickens – you'll engage in a few skirmishes, as quietly as possible, so that you don't awaken the entire village of gun-toting Vietcong.

On a related note, this huge set piece is quite impressive, down to the authentic architecture, rain sequences, and Vietnamese music and dialogue you can overhear inside (and around) the huts.

As you sneak up on an enemy soldier, you'll instruct your teammate to provide a well-timed distraction. Then you can plant some C4 under a house, swim underwater (and see bloodied bodies tossed into the swamp by your fellow ops) and then detonate the explosives once you reach dry land and take cover in a forest. Oh, before you make this kind of noise, however, you'll want to kill a sleeping VC in a hammock with a knife to the neck.

After a lengthy gunfight to clear an area, you'll then destroy an antiaircraft gun with rocket launcher, engage in another heated battle while ducking behind rocks, and then make your way to a clearing as choppers come to your rescue.

At the end of this demo, you jump down into a deeply dug tunnel -- which is the start of the demo shown at E3 2010 -- and as you clear it out, you'll turn on a flashlight to illuminate the subterranean labyrinth, protect your mates and then remove barrier to access another tunnel.

This is where the demo ended, but presumably, General Kravchenko is somewhere close by.

I'm still on the fence with this one :| .

[Barmat]

Just pre oredered the Hardened Ed. I'm so looking foward to this one.

[indyred99]

I'm thinking about the prestige edition. I want to know more on that RC car though before I spend that kind of money. The multiplayer trailer changed my thinking on it so I will probably end getting it.

Sent from my nonsensikal froyo using Tapatalk

[RookieHunter]

Just seen new video of all MP Game modes and how they all break down, Damn near caught a lil wood to be honest. I truly hate COD when TreyArch does them, but this one looks to be very good, sort of like MW 2.9...(MW 2.5 belongs to EA the call it MOH......lol). It will be a welcome break from Halo Reach when it comes out.....Damn I might have to get it for both systems though...How many ppl in the clan getting this for PS3 anyway..

[wick3d_y4yo]

Ps3..here, MOH and Black Ops... prolly my only 2 release day pickup's this gamer's holiday!

[MARDIGRA21]

I'll be getting it for the PS3 too.

[Bull3tBait]

After seeing that latest trailer that came out on the xbox I can't WAIT for this game to come out. Who is going to design the clan tag for our guns? The training fields are a great idea to learn the maps and the wage matches. Oh boy. I'm just upset I'm going to be TDY the day it releases but I'll be home the day after :twisted:

[MARDIGRA21]

video about perks, killstreaks, and they put tactical insertion in the game, prepare for boostin faggots but they got rid of tactical nuke.

[youtube:1nu9ueau]driGwndNyXU[/youtube:1nu9ueau]

[MARDIGRA21]

this gameplay shows a flamethrower attachment at 1:04, looks pretty sick.

[youtube:epgb8tx5]LzEKccCNXj8[/youtube:epgb8tx5]

[jack]

after watching the vids this game looks like its going to be a campers dream. most of the perks and equipment promote it heavily, yes they got rid of the tactical nuke.... but for replacements they give you flamethrower attachments and annoying rc cars with c4. I can safely say that after an hour of playing this game, you will lose your mind and either throw it out a window or return it or bust your system into very tiny pieces :lol: :lol: :lol: .

if you think the campers are gonna be horrible, the boosters will abuse the shit outta this system so bad that game play will die off in the first week. As rookie would say "that’s homosexual" and it is. I mean come on.... you can shoot down a ac 130 but you cant shoot down a black bird. oh and the attack dogs, no I cant see anyone using and abusing that in anyway.... also the portable Sam sites. this game has massive failure stamped all over it. the customization features are not enough to mask the underlying issues... that have yet to be exploited or merit the 60 (100 if you bought the special edition) dollars, that they're asking for this POS. yep... I can safely say that, I will be passing on this one.

[GriffinSentinel]

I found a descriptive list of the KS/KS Rewards and Preks from http://www.cod7blackops.com/killstreaks/ and http://www.cod7blackops.com/perks/. What do you guys think so far?

Call of Duty 7: Black Ops - Killstreaks / Kill Streak Rewards

Killstreak Rewards are bonuses that are earned by getting multiple kills in a row without dying. The Hardline perk lowers the required amount by one kill. In COD7 Black Ops killstreak kills (RC-XD, Napalm Strike , etc.) don't count towards your next killstreak - this is something that Modern Warfare 2 players will have to get used to.

Killstreaks are not unlocked with experience or levels; instead they are bought with COD Points, CP for short. CPs can be earned by playing the game and doing different challenges. You can buy the rest of the killstreak rewards in any order you choose, but you can only use 3 at a time.

# 3 Kills
Spy Plane

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/spy-plane-1-1.jpg

Description: This deploys a Spy Plane that shows enemies on the radar. The map is refreshed every 3-4 seconds. The Spy Plane flies around the map and can be shot down even with your primary weapon.

Players using the Ghost perk won't show up on the radar.

Unlocked by default.

RC-XD

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/rc-xd-1-1.jpg
http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/rc-xd-2-1.jpg

Description: This killstreak allows you to remote control a small miniature car with explosives. The explosion is big enough to take out a few bad guys that are grouped together.

The RC-XD moves really fast and can go up stairs. It can be destroyed by the enemy.

Unlocked: 1200 CP

# 4 Kills
Counter-Spy Plane

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/counter-spy-plane-1-1.jpg

Unlocked: 1600 CP

Description: Disables the enemy radar for a short period of time, even if they don't have a Spy Plane in the air.

SAM Turret

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/sam-turret-1-1.jpg

Description: Airdrops a placeable SAM turret that engages enemy aircraft. With this you don't need to carry a rocket launcher around.

Unlocked: 1600 CP

# 5 Kills
Care Package

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/care-package-1-2.jpg
http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/care-package-2-2.jpg

Description: This works just like in Modern Warfare 2, but this time a slow moving Chinook brings in the package. It's possible to shoot it down more easily due to its low altitude and speed. The Care Package itself contains a random killstreak or ammo.

There are two exclusive weapons that can only be found inside a Care Package: "Grim Reaper" Rocket Launcher and "Death Machine" Minigun. Care Packages can be seen on the radar by everyone: if it's red, it belongs to the enemy team. Care Packages can be booby trapped with the Hacker Pro perk.

Unlocked by default.

Napalm Strike

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/napalm-strike-1-2.jpg

Description: The Napalm Strike is an airstrike that covers an area with slowly burning napalm.

Unlocked: 2400 CP

# 6 Kills
Sentry Gun

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/sentry-gun-1-1.jpg

Description: Airdrop a placeable Sentry Gun that attacks enemy players. It can be temporarily disabled with concussion grenades.

Sentry Guns are most effective when placed in high places.

Unlocked: 3200 CP

Mortar Team

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/mortar-team-1-1.jpg

Description: Allows you to target 3 locations on the map that will be bombarded with Mortar Strikes.

Unlocked: 3200 CP

# 7 Kills
Attack Helicopter

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/attack-helicopter-1-2.jpg

Description: Deploys the classic Attack Helicopter, just like in the previous Call of Duty games. It will circle around the map and attack enemies for a short period of time.

Unlocked by default.

Valkyrie Rockets

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/valkyrie-rockets-1-1.jpg
http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/valkyrie-rockets-2-1.jpg
http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/valkyrie-rockets-3-1.jpg

Description: The Valkyrie Rockets are brought into the map in a Care Package that you have to pick up. You get 2 rockets. Valkyrie Rockets are controlled in 1st person (see the 2nd picture below) and can be controlled in all directions, but they have limited fuel that's indicated by a green bar.

You can boost a rocket to give it extra speed and also detonate it whenever you want. They are also hard to control, but the rocket has a moderate explosion radius, so you don't need a direct hit to kill an enemy.

Unlocked: 4000 CP

# 8 Kills
Blackbird

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/blackbird-1-1.jpg

Description: Deploys a SR-71 Blackbird to monitor the map. You can see both enemy position and direction on the radar. The Blackbird doesn't have a refresh rate like the Spy Plane, so you can see the enemies in real-time until the Blackbird leaves the map.

The SR-71 Blackbird can't be shot down. Players using the Ghost perk won't show up on the radar.

Unlocked: 4500 CP

Rolling Thunder

Description: Calls in a plane to carpet bomb the selected area. This is pretty much the Stealth Bomber from Modern Warfare 2.

Unlocked: 4500

# 9 Kills
Chopper Gunner

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/chopper-gunner-1-1.jpg

Description: Be the gunner of an attack helicopter. You can attack enemies with a minigun from the side of the helicopter. It's likely that enemies can shoot you inside the helicopter, since you are visible and the helicopter doesn't fly that high.

Unlocked: 5000 CP

# 11 Kills
Attack Dogs

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/attack-dogs-1-1.jpg

Description: This killstreak will spawn dogs to hunt enemy players on the map. Dogs can kill a player with one bite, so they should be killed as quickly as possible.

Unlocked: 6000 CP

Gunship

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/killstreaks/gunship-1-1.jpg

Description: The gunship (helicopter) is fully controllable by the player. You can use both the minigun and rockets to kill enemies.

Unlocked: 6000 CP

Perks List

Perks are basically "power ups" for multiplayer combat. You have 3 perk slots and each slot has 5 different perks available, so choosing the right ones for your class is crucial.

Perks in slot 1 will reflect what your character looks like. For example, the Ghost perk gives you a ghillie suit and Flak Jacket adds extra armor.

Pro perks are also returning from Modern Warfare 2; every perk has a Pro version that can be unlocked. They don't replace the original, instead they add additional benefits.

Perk Slot 1
Lightweight | Lightweight Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/lightweight.jpg

Ability: This allows you to move faster, but how fast depends on the weapons mobility.

Pro Ability: This gives you the chance to aim faster after sprinting.

Scavenger | Scavenger Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/scavenger.jpg

Ability: Resupply from dead players. This is great for weapons and launchers that run out of ammo quickly.

Pro Ability: Doubles your ammo with extra magazines.

Ghost | Ghost Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/ghost.jpg

Ability: Ghost is similar to the Cold Blooded perk from Modern Warfare 2. Enemy AI controlled killstreak rewards are unable to see or attack you. You only show up on the radar if you fire a weapon that doesn't have a silencer.

Pro Ability: The enemy won't see your name or a red crosshair when targeting you.

Flak Jacket | Flak Jacket Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/flak-jacket.jpg

Ability: This perk reduces explosive damage and allows you to survive nearly any indirect explosive attack. The Flak Jacket was first featured in Call of Duty: World at War.

Pro Ability: ???

Hardline | Hardline Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/hardline.jpg

Ability: Killstreaks require 1 less kill. For example, the RC-XD normally requires 3 kills, but with Hardline you only need 2 kills.

Pro Ability: ???

Perk Slot 2
Hardened | Hardened Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/hardened.jpg

Ability: This gives your weapon increased bullet penetration. Works just like the FMJ attachment from Modern Warfare 2.

Pro Ability: ???

Scout | Scout Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/scout.jpg

Ability: Increases the time you can steady a weapons scope. This is very useful with sniper rifles.

Pro Ability: ???

Steady Aim | Steady Aim Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/steady-aim.jpg

Ability: Significantly increases hip fire accuracy. This should be used with the Dual Wield attachment, since Dual Wield prevents you from aiming down on the sights.

Pro Ability: ???

Sleight of Hand | Sleight of Hand Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/sleight-of-hand.jpg

Ability: Cuts the weapons reload time in half. This should be familiar to Call of Duty veterans. Useful with light machine guns since they have long reload times.

Pro Ability: Allows you to aim faster. This halves the time it takes to aim down the sight.

Warlord | Warlord Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/warlord.jpg

Ability: Bling returns from Modern Warfare 2 with a new name. This allows you to equip 2 attachments to your primary weapon.

Pro Ability: Allows you to equip 2 attachments to your primary and secondary weapon.

Perk Slot 3
Marathon | Marathon Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/marathon.jpg

Ability: Extends your sprint time. Marathon does not increase sprint speed or give you unlimited sprint.

Pro Ability: ???

Ninja | Ninja Pro

http://www.cod7blackops.com/images/perks/ninja.jpg

Ability: Makes your footsteps silent, thus giving you a powerful stealth advantage.

Pro Ability: ???

I hear ya Possum, but I will go ahead and Risk 60 on it.........Like I said, Halo Reach releases in a few days and I will need Some sort of Break to stay Sane........Honestly I will buy the COD Brand no matter who the developer is based on Familiarity with it. The MOH is what I am concerned about, they continue to fail at Massive rates. Dont get me wrong, I still want to try them both. Push comes to shove I can always sell them on CL that same week they release for 50 bux...

Call of duty black ops will be in 3G, here's the full article from ign.com


Call of Duty: Black Ops In 3D Improves Look, But Is Not Must-See TV

By Stephen Totilo, Oct 5, 2010 08:40 AM
Over the last two weeks, Mike McWhertor and I were each given a hands-off demonstration of Call of Duty: Black Ops running in 3D. He saw it in Los Angeles. I saw it in New York. We've compared notes.

For background, the news that November's Black Ops will run in 3D on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC was made official this morning. For the consoles, gamers will need to own 3D TVs. For PC, an Nvidia set-up will be required. You can get all the details in our Black Ops 3D news story.

Here, you can find out what we thought of it — and what we thought of two Black Ops levels, one of which we've never seen before.




Mike,

I saw Call of Duty: Black Ops in 3D last week, and I was told that 3D in CoD was no mere visual effect. There would be gameplay implications.

There were implications for the bridge of my nose, which tingled while I watched a Black Ops developer play through a pair of the game's levels. My nose hadn't tingled when I'd seen the game sans 3D glasses. For physical side effects, that wasn't so bad.

I didn't get to play either of the single-player levels they showed but I'm guessing that the 3D doesn't impact gameplay significantly after all. How could it? It adds a lot of impressive depth to the game's action, but a feature like this that is viewable only on 3D-enabled TVs probably shouldn't have a gameplay effect. Most of us would miss out.

It seems that you get a better sense of the depth of the barrel of your gun, as the 3D effects make the weaponry seem to extend deep into the TV. I thought the objects you walk past might seem to drift through your peripheral vision, but they don't, because first-person games such as Black Ops don't even show the crates you're walking past once you've gotten close to them. You're already seeing past them — unless you are using iron sights, then you do get some of this peripheral-objects-in-3D effect. I didn't notice anything popping out at me from the screen. Did you?

The aspect I liked the most was how the heads-up display — the icons in the corners that show your ammo and your compass position — now appear to be on a plane that is closer to you than everything else, which makes it easier to sort of see through them and focus on the gameplay in the world of the game.

What did you like about it? Did your nose tingle too?

-Stephen


Stephen,

The only physical sensation I experienced while being shown Call of Duty: Black Ops in stereoscopic 3D was a slightl queasiness. Yes, I did become a little motion sick while watching Treyarch employees play the single-player level "WMD" and the snowy multiplayer map known as "Summit." That nauseating experience was something new for me, but I saw that clear disorientation as something of a positive.

No, I don't enjoy feeling nauseated, but I was entertained by Call of Duty: Black Ops in 3D. I remember the stomach upset percolating just as our heroes were repelling down the side of an icy cliff, just before they crashed feet first through a window, as seen in one of the big Black Ops trailers. That vertiginous feeling seemed like a kind of happy byproduct of Treyarch's work in getting stereoscopic 3D up and running in Black Ops. Treyarch head Mark Lamia told me that the feature was something they'd been R&Ding for a while, but he swears that they didn't build any new assets or make key changes to the game after integrating 3D. All they did was tweak the sensation of depth.

I'll agree with you about the sense of depth in relation to the game's guns. The 3D effect not only gave them more prominence onscreen, it made me better appreciate the modeling, the textures, the ever-present firepower. Those guns are very pretty, very shiny. Perhaps some of that's due to watching someone else play the game, absorbing the entirety of the screen, not just what's in my sights at the end of the barrel. I was focused on the whole, not just my target.

But I'll disagree with you about Black Ops' heads-up display. My eyes wanted to adjust too much when looking from my reticule to the map or the score in a multiplayer match.

And maybe you'll think I'm crazy, given my stomach churning experience and problems with the HUD, but 3D TVs might have their killer app in Black Ops. Especially now that it's coming to both high-def consoles. Agree?

Â*- Mike




Mike,

Sorry you didn't feel well playing the game. Too bad the Black Ops deluxe edition isn't packaged with one of those air sickness bags, huh?

I felt way better, physically, playing Black Ops than I did some less-polished 3D games at a Sony PlayStation 3 showcase in New York this past summer. I credit that to how far along Black Ops seems to be in all regards. The levels I saw seemed finished. The Sony summer showcase had gotten me worried about viewing angles. I remember stepping to the side of MotorStorm: Apocalypse and noticing that I lost the sensation of 3D pretty easily. Maybe it was the way that game was tuned or the TV, but I had no such problem with Black Ops, which had 3D depth even when I stepped to the side of the Samsung 3D TV on which it was running and looked at it from just about a 90-degree angle.

I don't think this is a killer-app for 3D TVs, though, because I just don't see any game making a 3D TV purchase worthwhile. Yes, this game runs at 720p in 3D with a frame-rate that won't always hit 60fps (it's only locked at 60 for non-3D, they told me), but this 3D doesn't transform the way you play the game.

All of my skepticism about how relevant 3D is to the gamer aside, the best thing 3D technology gets from Call of Duty: Black Ops Â*is how appealing the game can be for spectators. In 3D or out, this is one watchable video game. The WMD level we were both shown, which starts with the player piloting in SR-71 Blackbird into the upper reaches of the atmosphere is lovely and exciting. They've modified the level since I saw it last: now the player oscillates multiple times from controlling the pilot to being a soldier on the ground; the aerial play involving tracking troop movement on the ground, the ground gameplay consisting of a bunch of quick skirmishes before finally sticking to a hell of an exciting sequence on foot.

And I didn't even get into Numbers, the other level they showed. (No pictures to share of that one, sadly.) I didn't know Black Ops had dual-wielding (two barrels to see in 3D) nor was I expecting that thing with the shard of glass. Nasty!

How were you feeling about those levels, 3D or otherwise? And are you going to buy a 3D TV this fall because of this? I'm passing.

-Stephen


Stephen,

Don't worry. I've recovered from the momentary discomfort of seeing Call of Duty: Black Ops in 3D. An air sickness bag might be a great special edition add-on, especially for that SR-71 level. That was a great illustration of the effectiveness and subtlety of the team's 3D implementation. Seeing the plane's control panel with noticeable, but measured 3D special effects was a nice touch.

The SR-71 Blackbird level certainly stood out as more memorable—thanks to its mix of high-flying espionage and on-foot action sequences—than the other level we were shown. The Black Ops level set in Kowloon, which was undeniably visually rich, felt a little more plain, a bit more expected of the Call of Duty brand. I remember it most for what appears to be the option to actively engage in the torture of a prisoner during an interrogation. Have we ever done that before? Regardless, the series' trademark chase sequences, which that Kowloon-based level appears it may eventually devolve into, should benefit from the option to play it in 3D. The firefight sequences, especially while looking down iron sights in 3D, certainly feels more lifelike with that simulated depth. (I also liked walking into a room that had a wall filled with guns for the player to choose from. That should make Black Ops players feel powerful.)

What didn't stand out to me was the option to dual wield in Call of Duty: Black Ops, as we could equip pistols, sub machine guns and shotguns akimbo in Modern Warfare 2, often to the dismay of others in that game's multiplayer.

I'll concede that I may have thought too ambitiously about Black Ops as a "killer app" for 3D televisions. I certainly won't be dropping the cash on a new set just to play Treyarch's game while wearing special glasses. But would you agree that it's at least a key component in the much-needed content offerings for 3D TV owners? We already have Blu-ray movies, ESPN, and pornography in 3D. Surely a blockbuster like Call of Duty is a big piece in the purchasing decision puzzle.

Or maybe I'm just trying to make the argument that I will need a 3D TV demo unit in my home to properly assess everything Call of Duty: Black Ops has to offer. I don't think Crecente will let us justify one otherwise.

Â*- Mike


And that's that, folks. We don't see Black Ops as the killer app that will force you to buy a 3D TV, but it's no joke either. Think of it as a luxury.

[MuleTheDestroyer]

i for one have had the Hardened Edition Pre-ordered for awhile now. i have been amped for this game to come out since April. i really liked WaW, and I think that Treyarch makes a better game than Infinitey Ward (probably 'cause I'm way better at it). There hasn't been a definite release from Treyarch yet, but the 4 zombie maps that come witht the expensive versions are the maps from WaW. There will also be a new map that the rumor mill places in area 51 (there are extensive YouTube posts on the subject) and that will be in all the games. The zombies wont be Nazis though, so thats a bummer. i likes shootin' goose stepping zombies right in the face hole.

For the multi-player I am really looking forward to the crazy wager system and wazoo game modes. I also played a lot of War in WaW and am gonna be glad to be able to play that again. Also, I much prefer gore and limbs flying as I wade through the enemey. Tiny puffs of red mist, not nearly as satisfying.

So i am gonna be on this game all day every day as much as the wife allows come November. Gonna be awesome. 8-)

[Upgrayyed53]

I think the "combat training" bot mode will be great for learning the maps, and practicing strategy and tactics. It has a seperate unlock/leveling system independant of the normal multiplayer. The game is supposed to have extensive clan support i have also heard. It also sounds like they are taking out the most hated of the perks, like commando. The bot mode just has so much potential, with you being able to do it with other people on your freinds list and being able to set the difficulty of the AI and number of bots. Definitely might want to be on a competeitive team on gamebattles for this one. On the downside, for the 360 and pc folks, the game has been hacked and people have been playing it already. Treyarch says they will be all over that though. The one thing i do not like about peer to peer, is people with lag switches. I think there is a spectate mode, so I guess it should not be too hard to catch and report them.

You ask and shall receive, Here is some black ops zombie footage your welcome

http://vimeo.com/m/#/15940618

[Ironhide400]

OH YEAH...ZOMBIES!! I am looking forward to this game. Hopefully they have he clan support up to speed also!

So what is the deal with the zombie maps? Do you have to buy the hardened or prestige to get them, or will they be a purchasable DLC for the standard version?

[ASignorelli]

hope it's better than the MoH game, and I also see the money betting before each round kinda being a flop to all of those who aren't as skilled as the rest of us. This will weend people out and see who the elite really are.

[wick3d_y4yo]

Here's new video talking about Killstreak's, Drop Shotting, and overall new mechanics for how Black Ops MP will be done... Thanks to Inside XBOX for the video!

[youtube:3f1uqcd0]rhm6UTFHLXc[/youtube:3f1uqcd0]

[Ironhide400]

Awesome find! Thanks for sharing! I like the killstreak updates, and the drop shot delays!

[David_3033]

This game looks awesome!! I can't wait to play it.

[MuleTheDestroyer]

I know! im sayin. i think that the gamblin system will work well for me. It's not the K/D that matters as much as how fast you can get kills. which means you can go negative and still win! that's how I roll, 30-38 for the win!

Also, on the zombies, the video got taken down so i missed it. Was it the nazi Zombie from WaW or the new zombie map?

[Ironhide400]

I think the vid was of the old zombie maps from WaW. I haven't seen any vids of the new zombie maps yet. I am sure that will be a well kept secret as long as possible.

[saviger]

I know its to early to tell, and i haven't played it yet. Buuuutttt Tryarch may have actually outdone IW this time around.

Not to mention we haven't had a good game based during the Cold War since the OLD Ghost Recon game.

[InkaB0DpaiN]

Where do i find what system call of duty black ops is being purchased for by the members .Or any game in general. I know I asked this before but don't remember where to locate thread. Sorry!

[MAKAVELI x28]

I know its to early to tell, and i haven't played it yet. Buuuutttt Tryarch may have actually outdone IW this time around.

Not to mention we haven't had a good game based during the Cold War since the OLD Ghost Recon game.

I'm not sure either but I already have mine reserved for the 360! Cant wait!!!

[MARDIGRA21]

It was the new black ops zombie maps and the new map looked pretty good. I can't wait to get my hands on this game, db are u getting the hardened or prestige edition because they come with the old waw maps. The video got taken down by activision so this leads me to believe those were the new maps, I'll try and look for the video again

[David_3033]

Nah man I will just have to get the regular poor guy edition. lol

I cant spend more than the normal 60bux on a game, its just insane to spend more than that.

Also I will be going with 360 this time, need to show my xbox some love.

Little-Known Facts: Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer
Posted: 27 Oct 2010 01:00 PM PDT
Hello! I’m Josh Olin (http://blog.us.playstation.com/author/jolin/) (aka JD_2020 (http://twitter.com/@JD_2020)), and thank you for the opportunity to highlight some of the features that Call of Duty: Black Ops (http://callofduty.com/blackops) will deliver to PS3 (http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/playstation-hardware/ps3-playstation-hardware/) fans when it launches on November 9th. A number of these features are ones that I think the community has been wanting for a long time, which is why we’ve worked really hard to deliver. So let’s get started!Multiplayer Online Split-Screen Support

Let’s get started with what I believe is the most unknown, yet confirmed, aspect to Call of Duty: Black Ops (http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-ps3.html) multiplayer – the online split-screen support we’ve re-introduced to the franchise!

The Facts:


You can connect a second controller and bring a guest online (i.e. “JD_2020� & “JD_2020(1)�).
Guests can rank up, earn unlocks, etc – all guest progress goes away once signed out.

Custom Games Editor

Allow me to introduce the Black Ops Custom Games Editor! Private matches have never been this customizable. Players will have the ability to structure their games at all new levels of granularity. From variables as simple as Time Limit and Score Limit, or as deep as which weapons, Perks, and gear are available. You want a Pistols Only match? Make one! No longer do custom game modes rely on the “honor system.�


Furthermore, any Custom Game you create and configure can be placed in your File Share, for friends and the community to browse, download, and enjoy. You just might create the most addictive new game mode of all time from the comfort of your own living room!

In-Game Friends List

We’ve integrated a built-in Friends List into the in game user interface. You’ll be able to browse Recent Players, Friends, navigate their File Shares, Recent Games, Combat Records – all within this in-game menu system designed to streamline the social process within the game. Sending game invites and joining Friends’ games has never been simpler than in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Regional Matchmaking & Party Privacy

Call of Duty: Black Ops will support regional matchmaking filters on a global scale. So, no matter where you’re at in the world, you will have the ability to specify whether you want to match with players from other geographical regions, or only those local to you. This will make communication and lag a much less intrusive variable on your gameplay experience.

Additionally, given Black Ops will support joining games in progress via an even simpler built-in in-game Friends List interface, we’ll allow a Party leader to lock down his lobby to Invite Only, Friends Only, or even Close it altogether if he wants to be in complete control over who enters and exits the Party Lobby.

Emblems Do NOT Reset with Prestige

This one is pretty cut-and-dried. A frequently asked question is, “Will my kickass emblem I spent hours perfecting be lost when I prestige?� The answer is “NO!� Emblems are one of the only aspects of Black Ops MP that do not get a full reset upon entering Prestige. Things that will reset when you Prestige are: XP, COD Points, Challenge progressions, Loadouts, and so forth.

So that’s just a few of the lesser-known components to Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer, confirmed for the first time here on the official PlayStation.Blog (http://blog.us.playstation.com/)! For more information regarding Black Ops, and all the new features included in multiplayer, head over to our official YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/CallOfDuty) and watch all the different trailers we have highlighted from the game. Additionally, you can follow me on Twitter (@JD_2020 (http://twitter.com/@JD_2020)) for more news and updates.

Click for awesomeness! I don't wanna ruin it so be aware that it is a spoiler for Zombie multiplayer.

[Ironhide400]

AWESOME! You all can catch me in zombie mode!!

[MARDIGRA21]

it got leaked on 360 already so expect to see a bunch of zombie gameplay

[David_3033]

Well I just traded MOH in for my preorder of this game. I won't be able to pick it up on release day since I will be coming home from Japan on the 10th...

[squidfamily1]

I'll be getting it, might even be trading in MOH for it.
Japan DB? What are you doing there?

[md femme fatale]

I'll be getting it, might even be trading in MOH for it.

Call of Duty > Medal of Honor. :)

[MARDIGRA21]

The graphics on the 360 version look too cartoony I'm a little disappointed, hopefully the ps3 version doesn't look as bad, oh btw u need to be online and signed in to xbox live in order to play combat training but zombies is pretty fun there are 3 zombie maps, I only played 1

[MARDIGRA21]

As far as my graphics comment it was the level that was suppose to look like that it was a multiplayer map called nuke town lol
Btw the campaign is awesome, it's a great story so far

[jxspyder]

Call of Duty > Medal of Honor. :)

Only reason I haven't yet is because of the Battlefield 3 beta. I'm assuming you're going to need the disc. if I find out you don't, it'll probably get traded.

[David_3033]

Work sir! Someone has to show these Marines how to drive this new truck. That flight sucked!!

[MARDIGRA21]

Single player campaign takes 6 hours to beat on normal so it's a short campaign however it's a really good campaign, great story pretty damn intense

[InkaB0DpaiN]

Simple question . XBOX360 or PS3 which one will you be playing on, for this game.

[MARDIGRA21]

Ps3 ftw

[Bull3tBait]

xbox 360 :p

[River_Rat_459]

[XxSilentxFartxX]

360 all the way

[MaximusR3]

i'm with River, i bet the DS version is going to be awesome :cool:

[River_Rat_459]

[XxSilentxFartxX]

PS3, if you don't have me already, add "tw0sh0t2112".

Holy Crap Where ya been twoshot?

[Gawr]

I`ll be on the 360 as well.

[jxspyder]

So I'm still new enough to claim inexperience and lack of knowledge, but is it possible to create a Black Ops thread under PS3 and 360 forums? I don't know about PS3, but there are at least the 10 required for forum creation on the 360.

[Trained2Survive]

I'll be getting off duty around 1630 and be home around 530, I was wondering if we could get a clan match started and have some damn good fun. Anyone up for this? Sadly I can host, because my internet connection doesn't like me all that well right now.

[MaximusR3]

negative, no special in-game preorder bonuses although some retailers were offering special incentives of their own such as bonus reward points

[Lorimere]

Well, I finished the single player part. Pretty good story, and the part after the credits was kind of a cool touch. Guess I will hope online and get my ass kicked tomorrow.

[Lorimere]

Well it is official, I totally suck ass online. Only had an hour today and jumped into a training game with Jag. (Hope they didn't care). And did ok. K/D ratio of 3 or better.

So decided for last match i would join random game. Wow, it was ugly. No kills, about 9 deaths, several by remote cars. It was both sad and ugly. Really, really ugly. LOL

[Ironhide400]

Has anyone been in group yet to see if the patch has helped any? I played briefly at lunch, and was kicked out of the first 2 games I was in! I was on with some French players, so hopefully by this evening it will be better. I am anxious to know if the grouping is better. The lag did seem alot better!

[ladym123]

[Lorimere]

Seemed really bad this afternoon. Kept losing host and timing out. But seemed I was playing with a lot of overseas people, so who knows?

[Ironhide400]

Yeah, I have been playing this evening, and it appears to be the same if not worse! :( These guys must take notes from zipper!

[WrenchSlinger]

Last night I had more trouble getting into and staying with a party than I had prior to the update.

[ladym123]

Yep...still crap :mad:

[MARDIGRA21]

We didn't have trouble staying in a party last night there was like 8 of us

[Ironhide400]

Clark and I ended up going to combat training last night. We actually had alot of fun. Granted it was on easy mode, but I still died alot. I finally got a 7 kill streak...LOL!

[XxSilentxFartxX]

Haha the French!

Whats wrong with the French lol


Hahah The English Lol

[ladym123]

Whats wrong with the French lol


Hahah The English Lol

It was a joke between myself and Iron actually :P

Not actually haha the 'French people' just haha cos he ended up with the French...he knows what I mean anyway ;-)

Yeah and I totally agree...haha the English!

Seeing as I'm not English!!! :D

[saviger]

The "English" actually spoke French for centuries until the 1400's when English become the official language of the Crown.

[Bull3tBait]

I almost wanted to cry yesterday. I really love this game and already I'm getting messages for a 15th Prestige Lobby and seeing 1st and 2nd Prestige players with the Colored clan tags (which isn't supposed to be unlocked until 13th prestige).

I really hope they don't ruin this game.

It's Call of Duty. That was a foregone conclusion. It's whether or not they ruin it to the point of being unplayable.

[aaron503]

Ps3 always,,,,,

[Warhammer0351]

I played against a guy the other day that was 14th Prestige! He had the gold camo and all. I checked his combat record and he only had a little over two days of play time! How in the hell? And why? I don't think I'm going to Prestige again since I have done it once already. To me, it seems harder to get kills now! Could be just me though! Semper Fi!!

[MARDIGRA21]

Has anyone seen this, crazy once in a lifetime kill

Thank goodness for that cos I can't speak French! :cool:

[smoke]

even though it has some glitches and bugs, I've still had more fun in COD then I did in BF, MoH or MAG.

[Ironhide400]

I agree that BO is fun when we are battling each other, but I have had alot more fun in MAG with objective based teamwork. I get bored with BO very easy. :rolleyes:

[smoke]

the 1 thing i really don't like about MAG is the objective based choke points. If the opposing team is on top of defense, you can really get cut off in terms of advancement. obviously in real life, this is awesome sauce, but in a game, when you trying to level up, this really makes the process a huge grind.

In BOs, there are several hiding areas, tons of camo, lots of accessibility, its its just seems the maps are very even in terms of side-stacking.

[CrzyChinook]

so im borrowing my buddy's xbox copy of call of duty BO ... which is better the xbox version or PC version??? wife want to send it to me for christmas?? or they the same?? any thoughts?

[MaximusR3]

XBOX360 was the lead system for development so it inevitably will run better on the 360 since that's what it was built on and was then ported to the other systems

Thanks thats the little tidbit i needed to know!!

[MaximusR3]

I've been thoroughly amused this morning so i just thought i would share.

Played a few rounds of team death match this morning, doing about average when suddenly i have a really good match, which i finished on top with 35-8 and we win by a close margin. I think nothing of it, other than i had a good match when part way through the next match i see i have a message from someone named "CRAZY-FROG__"....lol this is how the messages proceeded:

CF: u r Bullshit

Max: thanks

CF: pathetic kid
u suck u know

Max: Thanks, you too ;)

CF: fuck you

Max: LOL no thanks


:D really cracked me up at how he could get so worked up over it so i had to watch the replay of that match to see who he was and what his problem was. He ended up being the top scorer on the other team but had several deaths because he tried hunting me down and going for a lot of revenge kills and falling victim to my blade.

I saved the video in my file share so for any ps3 users that want to check out the match just click on my name from the friends list and go to file share and select the video in there. Smoke was also in that match but i don't think he created any enemies out of it unless crazy frog bitched at him too for having the same clan tag as i did lol

[David_3033]

That's awesome I think it's funny when you get a message from someone on the other team you just destroyed. lol

[smoke]

I think I was on the end of his mercy kills, because he was frustrated with you. I did pretty terrible on that match. I think the worst I've ever done, but I'm still trying to learn how to use the Galil. I wish I coulda stayed longer, but the little one, decided it was time to eat.

360 for this guy as well


always hoping to join in on a clan match

[ladym123]

Max that's hilarious lol! I will watch the video later :D

[jxspyder]

Yeah, get it on 360, that way when I finally get done with AC:B, we can shoot it up.

[jxspyder]

Lol, hilarious Max. Too bad you can't save them online.

[saviger]

wtf, I cant join on ANYONE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrzyChinook]

Yeah, get it on 360, that way when I finally get done with AC:B, we can shoot it up.

i would love too but unfortunately cause i am in the STAN i cant get xbox live to work completely... the inter net provider i use out here (sky link) has there NAT set to moderate so i can get on xbox live and get updates but no gaming!! rat bastards!! me and bulletbait tried before with no success.. i cant wait to get home permanently next year!! got some serious catching up to do on line....

[David_3033]

wtf, I cant join on ANYONE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's me all the time. It is very annoying isn't it? I never had this problem on BC2 unless the match was full...

Oh, it'll still be going strong when you get home, no worries there.

[WrenchSlinger]

They really need to fix the party system on the PS3 or I may have to trade it for a Xbox copy. I normally only have a 1-2 hours to play in the evening and last night I spent the first 20-30 minutes trying to join tracker, squid and then some other friends with no luck, so I gave up and went solo. Sorry guys, I just got frustrated and felt like I would be wasting everybody's time trying to get into the party.

Yes you're right it's extremely annoying! :mad:

I usually go through the whole list of people in the group and usually there is one person I can connect to....but that isn't necessarily the same person every time....it's really weird.

The other night I could only connect to you Wrench so sorry for bugging you with invite requests :(

I can never ever connect to Max or Vet and so can only play with them if another clan member is playing.

I would like to play the zombies level at some point if anyone is up for that....when they get bored with the other part ;-)

[WrenchSlinger]

I can't hardly ever join Valor when he sends a invite, but have found I can join him in the CoD friends menu with more success, as long as it is not set to invite only. The overall party system for Black Ops = Fail.

[David_3033]

I agree 100% epic fail!! I am the same way I can't join Valor hardly ever. The best chance I have is watch my friends list and when it shows them in pre-game lobby JOIN quickly. I have had some luck like this but than sometime it kicks me back out to the lobby anyways. Invites seem to work less for me than just joining from the friends list. Than it sucks when it is set to private and you can't just join up. Like I have said before I spend about 95% of the time trying to join people and about 5% actually playing the game... I love the game and think it is really fun just wish they would fix that damn party stuff with the quickness. :mad:

[MARDIGRA21]

Here's another crazy kill
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0PBh3B97HU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[jxspyder]

Just to add to Sentry's list.

Hardline pro let's you randomly change a care-package.

Drop SAM turret, double click X, get random new care package. Can be anything....from Attack Dogs and Gunships, to extra ammo.


Second Chance Pro also gives you the option to be revived.

Still working on some of the others.

[Bull3tBait]

Corrections/Adds to Sentry's List

Ghost only makes you undetected by the UAVs. You need the silenced weapon or you will appear as a red dot.

Ghost Pro makes you invisible to all Aircraft. Dogs still detect you (I saw somewhere that they were supposed to ignore you but it's not true). Your name and crosshair don't show up red. Basically you are a very hard person to spot unless you do something silly like use an unsilenced weapon.


Ninja Pro makes you completely silent (Ninja only makes you quiet but you still have slight footstep sounds), Pro also makes enemies louder so you can hear them better.

Hacker Pro also makes you invisible to Motion Sensors =)

Scavenger/Pro do not resupply claymores.

Tactical Mask Pro makes you immune to gas. It also causes your crosshair to point in the direction of an enemy hit by your frag or flash bangs. So if you throw one in a room you know if the enemy is to the left or right side.

[jxspyder]

More corrections/additions:

Ninja Pro: completely silences player. Weapon switches, falling, deploy killstreak...all silenced. Also doubles the sounds of enemy players.

Lightweight Pro: No fall damage.

Scavenger Pro: Doubles starter ammo, allows you to restock tac grenades along with the lethal grenades from before.


Tac. Mask pro also reduces the effects of flash and concussion grenades.

[Lorimere]

Just wanted to say I was happy if got to play with some clan members last night. And I am sorry for being so bad. Headset was dead, and so was my controller. Would fire 1 shot and then do nothing, randomly toss grenades. Was ugly. And while I do suck. It is usually not where near that bad.

But I only had like 30 min to play and was too lazy to move so I could plug everything in. Anyway, I had fun, and thanks for not laughing out loud at my sorryness. Heh

It was good to see you online. It has been a while since I gamed with you. Probably since MAG.

[Lorimere]

Yep dbg, it has been awhile. I still play mostly during the day when no one is online. But will try to play at night now and again. But at night I am limited to an hour or two tops. That's why it was cool to see you guys.

[David_3033]

I forgot you were a day gamer. Is there not anyone else on here that plays during the day? I know Cajun used to but he has now left us as you probably already know... I thought there were more though.

[XxSilentxFartxX]

Im a day gamer and night gamer as well. Ill have tons more time starting the 13th since schools out and i have nothing to do until the 20th of january

There are a few, but I can never join in them. Or if I do, they always drop, signout. Must be my Cologne. Or I just really suck. I have really thought about dropping clan tag till I get better, but then say to hell with it.

I did let maximus kill me a few times in free for all.

It doesn't matter here Lori...that's why I play USMG> I am utterly crap...but I like the fun and banter :D

There is no way you could ever be as bad as me, just remember ...we should never just play together, without anyone else from the clan to save us from total wipeout lol :cool:

[Lorimere]

Guess my last post got lost.

But don't think about being bad. Think of us as providing comic relief!

[David_3033]

So today I decided to start trying to finish the single player of COD BO. I killed the doctor I think his name was Steiner. I think I am near the end of the game and randomly got an error message. Anyone ever get this error code and what the hell does it mean? I hope this isn't a model of my PS3 and game don't match up well together...

"Error
dobj for xmodel
'c_rus_spetznaz_body_g-rarmoff' has more than 160 bones (see console for details)."

Sounds like a disk error or a encoding error for the disk. I'd take it back and get a new one.

I wouldn't say it's a faulty disc since the Bone error is not unheard of and has been occurring since COD 4 on PC, XBOX, and PS3. It's rare but not rare enough to not be somewhat infamous. I have no idea if they ever found out why it happens or not, I believe PC gamers applied hotfixes to take care of it but i don't know if the devs have ever addressed it on the consoles. You have to cross your fingers and hope it doesn't happen

[David_3033]

Well I guess I will try that level again and see if I get that again. If I do I wonder if they would let me take the disk back without a receipt?

So according to CODBO fourms it states:


Patch 1.04 is nearing the end of Phase 2 testing. Going into Phase 3 submissions on 12/6.
Patching process: http://www.callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=346952


Issues Addressed:
• Resolved several issues with parties getting disbanded unexpectedly.
• Additional measures to prevent the “Transmission error� and other disconnects. This was most likely to occur with large parties where party members had mixed NAT types.
• Updated handling for UPnP-enabled routers to improve matchmaking conditions where users had strict or moderate NAT types. Also added in-game communications so that all players are aware of their NAT type in the Player Match party lobby.
• Addressed an issue with VOIP icons not appearing when USB headsets were plugged in prior to game launch.
• Prevention of exploit that allowed players to keep custom classes and killstreaks after prestige.
• Addressed an issue where Flak Jacket Pro would not always protect against ground fires left by Napalm Strikes.
• Prevention of users losing their killstreak reward when switching classes at the start of a new round in round-based game modes.
• Addressed an issue where the incorrect perks would appear when spectating another player under certain circumstances.
• Added round start explosive delay to China Lake grenade launcher to give it the same round start limitations as other explosives.
• Contracts will now reset when the player Prestiges.
• Prevention of Valkyrie rocket exploding upon release under rare conditions.
• Prevention of Gunship failing to give player full control under rare conditions.
• Prevention of an issue where a player will get teleported outside the map boundaries under very specific circumstances.
• Additional security measures to enhance detection and banning capabilities.

Gameplay Tuning:
• Limit the ability to re-roll supply drops using Hardline Pro to Care Packages only, no other killstreak drops.
• Added a negative influencer to all spawn points to decrease the chances of spawning near an enemy. This will further improve spawning protection on top of previous updates.
• Additional sound mix tuning for Ninja Pro users – increased ranges and volume of enemy footsteps, and removed player footstep sounds on concrete material types.
• Increased headshot multipliers for sniper rifles. Sniper rifles with suppressors equipped will now always be ensured one-shot kill headshots.
• Subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in.
• Added a render delay to the red diamond player indicators that appear when controlling the Gunship, Valkyrie Rocket and Chopper Gunner. When a player first spawns, this will not appear for a period of time.
• Additional minor reductions in knife lunge.



Who knows, maybe it will fix the PS3 side of stupid party breakups and not being able to join in the 1st place... Here's to hoping.:D:D

Invisibilty pro - completely invisible on map and to players/UAV etc in game.

i've almost seen this sort of thing. I'm sure not many people have this situation but if you are in the middle of a match when someone else on your home network logs on and starts Blackops, when they do the first initial download of game settings on the MP screen you will hit about 15 seconds of massive lag. After that it usually smooths back out but on rare occasion (happened to me twice now) the game freaks out during the lag and when you stabilize again everything is all messed up for the rest of the match. Friendly players show up with red names as if they were enemies, but shooting them does nothing, looking at the scoreboard you will only see your name but you're lvl 1, all enemy that kill you are listed as lvl 1 unknown player, and worst of all, all enemy are completely invisible. When watching the killcam, your player is invisible but they have no problem killing me so i'd assume i'm not invisible to them but Lady, if you could somehow find a way to harness the magic powers you possess in the kill cam during this glitched scenario then you'd be good to go ;)

[Lorimere]

Had a blast playing with the guys last night, Even managed to finish up the ghost pro perk. Now to work on Ninja Pro.

Thanks for the invite Bravo, and sorry for just dropping off. But game froze on last back out and when I exited the PS3 shut off. Figured since it was already 4am, someone was trying to tell me something. LOL

Sorry guys, looks like the new patch is a no go for us PS3 gamers. :(


Call of Duty: Black Ops Patch 1.04 Brings PS3 Players More Headaches (http://www.ripten.com/2010/12/14/call-of-duty-black-ops-patch-1-04-brings-ps3-players-more-headaches/)


(http://www.ripten.com/2010/11/21/call-of-duty-black-ops-gets-more-patching-improved-pc-performance/callofbooty-3/)
Earlier today Activision released patch 1.04 (http://www.ripten.com/2010/12/14/call-of-duty-black-ops-patch-1-04-for-ps3-is-live-mauler/) to address a myriad of issues plaguing Call of Duty: Black Ops. While not exclusively for the PS3 (for the Xbox 360 as well) the Ps3 version had been effected by more serious issues. Unfortunately, the patch has brought new issues.
There have been more frequent complaints about the game freezing, others have experienced constantly being dropped out of games. Still others complain of crashes and disconnections.
The effected gamers are primarily PS3 owners and have crashed the Call of Duty Website as they have come to complain in droves.

I kept getting hosts from East Bumfuck, Antartica or something. Massive lag and spikes that made the game unplayable. Kind of annoying.

So True. But we still kicked a$$ in the majority of the matches anyways. Well you, W33dz and Klaws carried the team I should say. I haven't had a very good past couple days.

[RookieHunter]

This message was posted from the forums by the community manager I hope this shit gets fixed soon. At least before the Vietnam dlc drops for bfbc2 bc I won't be back on cod for awhile

Hey PS3 community –

We are aware that many online players have been experiencing connectivity issues since Tuesday’s patch. We have been working hard to track down the cause and fix them as quickly as we can. We’ve already updated the game with one “hot fix” since Tuesday’s release that has improved many of those connectivity problems, and we’ve got more coming, so stay tuned.

Forum feedback has been tremendously helpful. In fact, we’ve been on the forums, monitoring feedback and in a number of cases, working with community members directly, so please keep the feedback coming. In the meantime, know that we’re committed to doing everything we can to support the best online experience, and we’re working quickly to resolve this issue.

NOTE: There have been rumors suggesting that deleting your save data will improve network connectivity. Please do not delete your save data, as it will not have an effect on network connectivity. A hot fix was released at 9:30p PST last night, coinciding with the first instance of this rumor, and this hot fix is the reason many users have experienced improved connectivity.

Thank you for your continued support and feedback. As always, we will keep you updated.

Thanks
-JD

Actually a little bit more psyched for Checkpoint than I am Stadium. Looks like it's going to be a bad-ass pack though.

Yea I'm excited for Checkpoint too. I was there many years ago when the Wall was still up. Wonder if I will recognize anything.

[Trained2Survive]

Either before everyone goes out or a post night battle?

[XxSilentxFartxX]

I could do it wasted..Thatd be kinda fun lol

[Bull3tBait]

who can play drunk, either way if we play we should record the game and post it on youtube or something

[toby2533]

heck it would finally be a even playing field with everyone buzzed not just me.

[ECHOx4xVICTOR]

DAMNIT!! Can't do that one either. Takin momma out to dinner for her birthday.

[jxspyder]

I can...but only too a point. I play better with a light to medium buzz, but suck when I get too hammered. The trick is to maintain the buzz without losing it or going over.

Ironically, I play pool the same way.

NOT to play BO

Per Kotaku....

The net is ablaze this morning with rumour that Activision are primed to announce a “second-tier� subscription service for their popular Call of Duty series. The source of the speculation comes from renowned rune-interpreters Wedbush Securities, who said:

Activision remains a top pick, primarily due to the company’s potential to create and monetize a second tier of multiplayer online gaming for its Call of Duty franchise.
We expect this to occur during the first quarter of 2011.
Such conjecture flies in the face of Activision’s head honcho, Bobby Kotick, repeatedly stating that the publisher would not introduce (http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2010/09/16/kotick-no-cod-subscripton/) a pay-to-play model for the franchise. Of course, Activision could have other endeavours up its giant sleeve that meets the criteria of not charging for online play in connection with the normal retail Call of Dutys while still introducing some sort of subscription based service.

[David_3033]

Hill 137 or whatever it's called has a bad glitch where the PBR can go under the map!! He got a ton of kills I am sure but noone could get him. Some ass was doing it the whole round [kkk]Aidroos. Then his little squad buddies spawned on him to enjoy the fun. Sad part is they still lost and they were attacking.

[David_3033]

I found a video of it. Look how cheap this glitch is... :mad:

[saviger]

thats market garden

[Warhammer0351]

The people that have to use glitches, etc., must really suck at a game! That's usually the only way they can get kills/wins. I think it's FUNNY when they glitch/hack and they STILL lose!! That's FUNNY!!!
