Call of Duty: Black Ops

[GordoFreemann]

I wish to take the time to discuss the features or fixes we are looking forward too in Black Ops.

Commando Pro and OMA aside, what are we looking forward too?

I'm personally happy that the highest killstreak is now 11, and killstreaks do not stack anymore. You want that chopper gunner? Well SON YOU BETTER START EARNING IT!

I'm uber excited for the modding tools and dedicated server support as well!

Uhh... I'm excited for Zombies and AK 47's that don't look like they were dipped in molten steel.

 

[GordoFreemann]

No nukes, zombie-mode, a hopefully thrilling campaign. That's all I look forward to.

I'd forgotten about Zombie Mode until now!

Have you checked out the Single Player trailer? Stuff looks a lot grittier than Modern Warfare 2!

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I'm looking forward to everything except Second Chance.

Being able to run and gun again

Non- stackable killstreaks

Gun balance (I hope)

Nerfed explosives

No goddamn motherfucking Commando

No nuke

Recoil

Close quarters maps

Anti-camping measures (Hacker perk is awesome)

The possibility of some actual community support this time

 

[SantoUno]

I'm excited for the Zombies mode as well. I mean seriously, fighting zombies with modern day military weaponry? Sounds to me like a good FPS version of Resident Evil.

I am just waiting to see if the killstreaks are overpowered or not. The overpowered killstreaks of MW 2 are what made me hate it.

Also I want to know if it will be more close-range oriented. That I will dig.

You listed several of my wishes as well, you're awesome.

Then again the Zombie mode will beat all those .

Having watched around 10 or 11 videos from the multiplayer beta, I can tell you that both apply.

It was so refreshing to not hear Harriers and Choppers constantly in the air all the time.

And every kill towards your streak must be gotten with your weapons. The only one that looks annoying as fuck is the RC Car

EDIT:

And in most of the games I saw, the dude with the MP5 ran around like crazy and still dominated

I feel that Modern Warfare doesn't have enough moderate-range weaponry. The most viable gun choices are either close-range submachinegun, shotgun, and knife combat, or long-range sniping. Just trying to use an M16 like a real soldier would will get you killed from very long or very short distances.

That's awesome, and I agree, I can already predict that I will be swearing into my mic about the RC car if they become abused like noob-tubing or Commando.

Well I'm a pretty huge COD player, despite my lack of skill I get great enjoyment from it and follow all the Youtube COD commentators.

As you can see, I've been following BO pretty closely:

dear modern warfare devolpers,

i will say that blackops will not be terrible if you do the following things:

1. set stopping power thermal scopes heartbeat sensors grenade launchers (including thumpers)on fire with napalm
2. make it so people cant use semi auto snipers as assult rifles (or better yet just not have any semi auto snipers but i doubt thats going to happen)
3. stop letting snipers have shotguns
4. personally slap every camper (except for snipers) in the face

all the best,
lizard of doom

I gotta disagree there, I find assault rifles by far the best class in MW2, and the AK-47 n COD4 was beastly.

I think it's too much for a 3-kill streak. I'll be using UAV anyway, much more handy IMO.

 

[hittite]

zombies.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

1. Stopping power and Jugg - both gone, heartbeat sensor gone but thermal is back. Noob tubes can't be replenished and the explosive radius and damage has been seriously nerfed. Yay!

2. Yep, 2 semi auto snipers in the game I'm afraid. Only 1 bolt action but rumour has it the (edit) M40A1 from COD4 is coming back as an unlock.

3. Shotguns are a primary

4. Health draining gas grenades, the RC Car and the ability to booby trap claymores

By looks of it, us run and gunners will be having a good time

 

[Korten12]

GUN GAME! the greatest Counterstrike game mode of them all.

Now COD style. I love me some Gun game

gun game..?
