CoD Black Ops

[Raven]

Me for one. Without a story we may as well just skip the single player and have a multiplayer. Silly post really.

For me a single player FPS is all about the cinematics and shooting at stuff, a tedious drawn out story is pointless.

It worked in half life 1/2 but they were very much story driven games. Games like MW are all about assault, there is only so many ways you can fit an assault into a story line.

To me its like a throw away action movie, it's over quickly and you probably don't want to watch it again but it's fun while it lasts.

And yes, I agree, your post was a bit silly.

The only bad thing about the game is you have to go through the whole SP crap to get the second zombie map.

The new, improved zombies is AWESOME!!

 

[leviathane]

or you could use the unlock code on the computer at start menu to unlock all 3 zombie levels?

 

[Sparx]

id really like them to put the hit notification on SP the same as MP sometimes long shots your not quite 100% sure if you hit them

 

[chipper]

so its been out a little while now any more thoughts on the MP aspect is it worth getting for that alone? think im gonna get it for pc cos i just cant get on with fps on xbox


your right with BC2 its a great game but theres just no bleedin maps to it need a map pack with 10+ to come out for it but i doubt itll happen cos EA are in charge.

Yeah good luck with this lol:

News: PS3 owners petition Activision for Black Ops refund - ComputerAndVideoGames.com

 

[leviathane]

why didn't they just take the game back in the alotted time period for full refund, instead of waiting so long?

Um - PC blops is pot-luck whether it will work in any acceptable fashion. Still totally unplayable for me on a GTX460. Check the thread in action and fps forums.

I was playing it last night, was very jerky, maybe it's still got the issues where the cpu is spiking, although in fairness the fps is pretty reasonable now, so maybe its the servers. (Thats up to YOU to work out Mr Treyarch )

Another time I will play and its quite ok, which also leads me to believe it's server-side.

Oh well, I'm up to rank 35 or so now, still only using the SA-80 (of course!)

Last night I bought a Batman game from Steam for £5. It totally owns Call of Duty.

Fuck you, shit game developers. Batman ftw.

Tom, are you sure you spent that whole £5? or did you really pirate it?

Best COD mp in the series yet imo they took out the noob perks like Jugger/stopping power and the maps are pretty damn good as well.

SP? It's good but then again COD SP has never got me wetting my pants, completed it on veteran like any COD player should and that's that.

However i'm sure IW will put all the shit back in again next year.

 

[throdgrain]

As I (think) I have said before, this is the game MW2 should have been. Less silly perks etc.

























However. It really doesnt work properly. I've gone back to MW2 for a bit, for a rest

 

[Tom]

No, it was £5 on Steam. Well, £5.10 to be precise.

And its ace. I'd considered buying it a while back but wasn't convinced. Flying around gargoyles and executing bat-kicks and bat-ownage...erm...owns.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Yeah Batman's been fucking cheeeaaap for ages. I got it nearly a year ago for £8 with games for windows. Played it some, loved it, then came accross a stupidly designed boss-fight and not been back to it since. Probably should drop the difficulty and just wade through it as it's loads of fun but just don't have the time (especially since GT is here).

 

[Ch3tan]

Which stupidly designed boss fight? I don't remember one that was particularly challenging.... unless you have some kind of retardation?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

That retarded boss fight pretty early against some brute thing that picks boulders out of the walls and lobs them at you. It's really shit as one hit from his charge and you die (at least, on the difficulty level I was playing)

 

[Ch3tan]

That was easy. He doesn't change his tactics. Been a while, but iirc dodge and use your batarang to blind him every 2nd attack of his.

Later on you have to face two of them + some normal badguys.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Yeah, it was easy enough to get his pattern but Batman can be pretty sluggish and there's a bit of input lag which means you're often caught more than not and with instant death it got on my tits. Been a few months since I played so I'd be so rusty I may as well start over if I get the chance to.

 

[Ch3tan]

Input lag? Seriously man, don't blame the game for your motor control issues

This .

Although to be fair, I did find Bane pretty irritating, especially when there's loads of guys getting at you too. I put down some batsplosive gel to take them out in one go.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Annoyed me as up until then the game had really impressed me.

Me no likey archaic boss battles. Use your brains devs!

 

[Billargh]

You all must be really terrible, Bane was piss easy, even on hard with the thugs pounding on you.

Learn to read. Only Wazz has issues.


Oh and he finds the game hard too.


Baddddum...tish!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Wahey \o/

Shush you, all you General folk are pretty much the same person.

 

[throdgrain]

We certainly fucking aint!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

No no, we don't play DAoC so we actually have personalities.

 

[Wij]

ahem

 

[TdC]

Wij had a personality once. It said..."is it in yet?"
