[ALL] Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Maynard]

Sniping in this game is retarded. There are a few major problems with it.

1.) :turrible: hit detection. Ok this game is already notorious for it's hit detection (which isn't helped by the host selection problems either) and I find more times than not I'm staring at an enemy head, pull the trigger and poof, miss.

2.) alm: pistols. Outside of the Makarov and the Python, they are absolutely useless. If you take away both QS'ing AND shotguns as secondaries, you have to leave scavenger with the ability to pick up Claymores. The way it is now, Snipers are completely unprotected = .25 ~ K/D = not fun.

ahh yes, the hit detection and host issues. a week in and these are the comments that will continue to keep me from buying this game.

So what are the good guns?

Primary: Matter of preference.

AK74U is GREAT though.

Secondary: Python, Stela... Strela... (the 3rd launcher)

If you're doing MP splitscreen online can both people use mics if they are using separate gamertags?

So far to me it is an extremely mediocre shooter, however could be better if they changed a lot of things.

It's one solid patch away from being a great shooter, only thing to see is if Treyarch will suck it up and listen to people.

While I agree, I'm not very confident that they can fix all of the issues.

The main thing that pisses me off is the framerate. On PS3 it feels like slow motion at times, but you don't know when it is going to hit.

 

[JayDizzle]

Hitbox detection stinks, 12-player maps that use 18 players, Shitty spawns, useless perks and weapons...

Yet we all still play.

BAAAAAAAAaaaaaa

:yep:

seems like the game has gone the madden route of just being a money maker. some love it, some hate it, but most deal with it cause its COD. And the devs are making a living off COD4 without fixing issues that have been there for years
i could have dealt with most of the issues but i could never get past the hit detection and spawn points. nothing worse than shooting a guy in the head and having him make a full turn around, aim and fire to kill you all while u sit there and unload and nothing hits him. Or being spawned right next to a guy while he is being shot

Does anyone know who does the voice of Mason? I can't find it on imdb. It's stupid because it basically shows every character except that one. It sounds like Sam Worthington from Avatar but it's not showing in his imdb bio either.

Sam Worthington, main character of the new Terminator as well as Avatar.

I am playing this Call of Duty a lot more than I played any of the other ones. I'm almost able to prestige.

Thanks. I thought it sounded like him but usually those credits show up on imdb.

The one time I got killed the other day the kill-cam showed the guy's sights missed me to the left, then hit me once in the stomach then missed to the right and I died....I was confused haha.

Apparently the hit detection sucks in the game.

It really sucks for me because I already suck. The fact that I'm losing out on many of the few kills I should have because of poor hit detection pisses me off more.

 

[Twigg4075]

Fucking game is pissing me off.

I tried to get a few trophies a bit ago, including "Frag Master", killing five guys with one grenade and "No Leaks", getting through the Nova 6 gas in Rebirth without dying.

On both I got fucked. The first one I used a video guide and played through the level until I got to the point where five guys are bunched near a car. I throw the grenade and they all blow up. No trophy. I kill myself and try again, only this time somehow the balcony I'm standing on gets blown up and the game goes to the next cut scene. Now there is no way to try again unless I play through the entire level again. Fuck that.

Then on Rebirth I get all the way to the end and get mowed down by the choppers as soon as I exit the last building. On Recruit mind you. Fucking bullshit.

 

[wingsfan77]

I did pretty well on-line today, had my best game ever I went 19-6 haha.

Exactly why this game is going back, I think it is just the limitations of the game engine. I'm not confident they will make this anywhere near as fluid/accurate as MW2, so I'll just take it back to gamestop and eat the 15 bucks or whatever.

Sell it on amazon, used copies are going for $55 bucks, you will get a lot more than at gamestop.

Guess what I am about to do....going back to MW2.......and I may just buy that map pack that I don't have....lol.
