Call Of Duty Black Ops - Page 2

I have put many hours into this game. Though the network is down right now I play it religiously almost every night. I like the single player and all of it, though I do have complaints.

Calling the dogs with your kill streak takes too many kills in a row. I think they should lessen the needed kills by 1 or 2.

People camp way too much and ruin the fun of the game. They just set up in a corner and wait for you to walk by, then shoot you. That gets old real fast and takes very little skill to do.

At times the lag of the game gives the other team a very unfair advantage. They are moving like 3 or 4 frames ahead of you. So you have to anticipate what they will do before they are even there. Even then you are lucky to get a kill even if you empty a clip in the guy.

I have heard Modern Warfare 2 is better but never played it. All in all I like Black Ops and don't see myself getting tired of it for some time.

Its all about Black Ops. New map pack comes out tomorrow for those that are on the better of the two systems. I'm quite excited.
I'm surprised that there's so much complaint about the lag, I lag very rarely. I would have thought it was down to your connection speeds as I'm running a 20meg line the only time I seem to suffer from the "emptied a whole clip into his face and I still died" syndrome is when I'm playing against people on the 50meg line from virgin. It does spoil the game when that happens but its so easy to leave the game and find another that isn't lagging.

Why are you complaining about people camping? it is a tactic to playing the game, no more annoying than people who use the grenade launcher attachment on rifles or throw grenades in general directions hoping someone will be there. Its just a way of playing the game.
I am yet to find a location that is campable without being taken out after 2-3 kills unless you move around. Each part of the map has numerous areas where people can approach you and only the best of campers build up a good killstreak by anticipating where the person they just killed will attempt their revenge from.
The amount of times iv moved to a slightly different corner of the room and watched them run straight past me just to get a shot in the back of the head.

I think the dogs are just about the right killstreak, they are deadly on the right maps, gunship is the same. On some maps its absolutely useless on others its devastating. Iv had around 30 sets of hounds including those from a care package of course. I find they tear the enemy up so long as your team mates keep the pressure on so that they cant pick off the dogs.

A lot of the time when I am lagging I'm playing with my clan members. I think having us all linked up is somehow causing it.

As for camping I think it is a cheap move due to the lack of skill that is required to camp. I too camp but only momentarily, reading the map, playing defense. However many players do nothing but camp and that is were my gripe comes in. Also campers will often move from one hiding spot to another. So just knowing that a guy camped you from one spot doesn't mean he will be there the 2nd or 3rd time.

Shooting a rocket takes a tad more skill but is commonly called noob tubing when overused. Meaning that the player using rockets all the time is a beginner and unable to fight toe to toe. You only have to point and click and the target gets no warning being unable to respond. While this is a viable tactic, when used constantly I think it is unfair.

Grenade tossing takes a certain amount of skill considering there are a few moments usually to get out of its blast. It is sort of cheap but you only get 2 grenades unless you have the warlord pluss perk. You have to take into account what angle you are throwing (which can be very difficult) and time it just right.

I wish the dog killstreak was lower because I used to play World at War. On that game getting the call dog option is difficult. However once you get it it can be a game ender. True it's probably fair where it is but I miss being able to call the dogs on my enemies as often. I am very good with my knife thus the dogs option was always in my favor.

Hmm I think calling it cheap is a little off. It can be annoying but any good player can take out a camper, and if all else fails just shoot the china lake, grenades and the launcher option on the rifle into the said area and that persons killstreak soon comes to an end (smile)

The new map pack is out today, I had a very brief go thismorning, played on, cargo I think its called. Very annoying but I think its just a case of new map no bearings and just getting shot n killed without knowing where its coming from. The map is going to be a prime campers map. It looks most suited to headquarters and demolition style games.

True any good player can take out a camper. However just needing to remember, avoid, and otherwise eliminate a camper is a task all in it's own. The fast pace of the game does not allow for even the slightest misstep much of the time. Sometimes the whole team will camp in an area preventing retaliation. Often while I am focused on a camper his buddy will jump out and get me.

I totally understand camping is part of the game. Yet I still can't deny the feeling of utter frustration when I run across the map for a kill only to be shut down by a camper, reload, repeat (uhg).

That is no fun.

Yeah I can see your point. I fell to such tactics this morning on a new map. Because it was new I thought id run around like a headless chicken to explore. And no word of a lie in every door way stood a camped just waiting for me . Soon as I know the map though it will be time to retaliate.
