Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Der Fuhrer]

As you know, I recently purchased a ps3. Due to the fact that I'm a broke ass college student, I did not purchase any games. I did, however, opt to rent this wonderful video game from my local Blockbuster establishment. Because I have not rented, or played, video games in quite some time, I made the mistake of renting two games at once. I first started playing COD on the campaign mode. It was nothing impressive. It's your typical fps. So I started playing resident evil 5 instead, which is a good game. A few days later I put COD back in the console, and this time I started playing multiplayer. It is incredible. It has consumed my life for the past three days. I have to take it back today, but I might just keep it an additional day. I'm not sure yet. Anyways, the game is fucking awesome, and if anyone has the ps3 and wants to get their face shot off by me, go ahead and add me as a friend and we can shoot at each other. My name is Dreztok. I'm going to go play now.

You and Orgazmo are terrible at Zombie mode ...


Anyone else have it?

zombiemode, while fun for a while, sucks in comparison to ffa. Shit is fuckin crazy in nuketown.

Zombie mode is a probably a lot more fun if you can get past the first level ... but for that you need Der Fuhrer and Orgazmo to stick together and stop getting killed all the time.

[Der Fuhrer]

I played with some little kids and we made it to round 8. There were zombie monkeys running around and were very hard to kill.

[Der Fuhrer]

I noticed that you signed on, but did not meet me in battle. I'm assuming you were scared.

[DJ FC]

I thought single player mode was a work of art.

The story line was good, the soundtrack amazing, and the scenes you recreated were beautiful. You fight in Vietnam, Cuba, Russia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, etc.

The people who only play the multiplayer on any COD game don't know what they're missing out on. The story, script, and voice acting, put many big budget action movies to shame.

[Der Fuhrer]

While I'm sure that the campaign mode is quite a bit of fun, it lacks that adrenaline rush you get when you turn a corner at the same time another guy turns a corner and it's an ultimate shootout. I'm sure my neighbors are glad that I took the game back, because every time I would lose such a shootout, I would yell various obscenities as loud as I could, even if it was 3 AM. I like multiplayer for the knowledge that I make the other guy feel that way when I win the shootout. Had I purchased the game, and not rented, I would most certainly play the campaign mode to completion.

It's not as good as MW2, and I don't think thats because treyarch fucked up majorly.

Campaign is way too linear, and I prefer the MW2 weapons.

The main aim of multiplayer MW2 was to drop the nuke, which I only dropped once, not having a 25 killstreak sucks.
looking forward to MW3.

Edit : anyone else think PS3 has a lower standard of players?

[Fruitacious B]

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is all I prefer to play as far as multiplayer is concerned.

Absolutely. But it's better than paying for xbox live.

Is that similar to hitting two home runs?

[DDTempest]

So made the mistake of going into prestige mode ... fucking ripoff.

It is a ton easier unlocking perks once you know the easiest configurations for doing so though.

Ghost + Hardened + Hacker = all three unlocked extremely easily.

It's less than a dollar a week for Xbox live. Unless you hardly ever play online, money shouldn't be an issue

[DDTempest]

So I've gotta say that when it comes to mindless killing ... zombie mode is really fucking fun. After you figure out a basic strategy to keep yourself alive, you can literally play one game for hours.

The furthest I've managed to get solo is 31 waves, which equaled out to about 1100 kills, with a group of three ... we made it to 29. It really becomes a marathon after wave 15 or so ... you have to simultaneously manage your resources, not get killed, and search out every possible upgrade just to stay alive.

And to make things better: you never die to claymore mines, remote control cars with bombs on top, or napalm strikes.

Zombie mode is hard as fuck. I've made it to round 15, and that's only because I was grouped with pros.

But, I have unlocked the other zombie mode levels by cheating. If you didn't know this, at the main menu screen you can look around. If you look down you will see the guys hands bound to the chair he's sitting in. Repeatedly press R2 and L2 and you will break free of the restraints. Now you can get up and walk around. Behind where you were sitting there is a computer. Enter this code in the computer 3ARC UNLOCK, and you will have unlocked the levels. The second level is pretty cool...the third one is stupid.

"five" is hard as balls but you get to play as one of four characters:
JFK
Nixon
Castro
Robert McNamara

The prestige or hardened editions of Black Ops come with four or five additional zombie levels from World at War

Kino Der Toten Strategy:
Waves 1&2:
Let the zombies come all the way into the room, take your time and shoot each one in the legs six times before knifing them. DO NOT board up all the windows. Zombies only drop power ups (max ammo, insta-kill, double points) if you kill them inside the building. You are going for max points.
Wave 3: You will either have hit a max ammo or you will be completely out of ammo ... going into round three board up all the windows before killing the last zombie from wave 2. You can knife them carefully through the window or throw your grenades ... essentially you need 2750 points.

As soon as you get 2750 points, you go out the door at the top of the stairs and through the next one and buy the mp40 at the bottom of the stairs. You will use this gun constantly for the rest of the game ... its rapid fire and nets you huge amounts of points pouring bullets into zombies.

By round 5 you should easily accumulate 2250 points, this is enough to open the next two doors which gets you into the main theater, turn on the power, open the curtain, and hop into the portal to initiate the power.

You can now run huge laps of the building building points:

You MUST MUST MUST buy juggernog as soon as you get 2500 points. It's located in the front of the theater in a corner vending machine, it allows you to get a few more times which will keep you alive as you run PAST zombies in hallways, dont get cornered getting it though.

After that buy:
Speed cola (3000) helps you run a little faster and reload super fast
Double Tap Rootbeer (2000 located in the alley two doors to the left of the main room) doubles the speed of your fire.

Then find the gun box and keep going until you get the ray gun and the cymbal monkey. The ray gun will upgrade to the xray gun and basically kills zombies in two shots.

Late in the teens you will want to power up the portal before the start of every round ... wait until zombies start pouring out and go up to the projectionist's booth ... all the zombies gather downstairs in the middle of the theater ... just chuck as many grenades as you can and rebuy them and chuck some more. It ports you back down to the first room after a time and all the zombies are pretty much coming at you from one direction, just keep running laps shooting and chucking grenades to build up points.

Do this forever.

general tips:
use grenades to make "chicken nuggets" - zombies that dont have legs ... this buys you time to do whatever at the end of the round.

never stop in the dressing room, you will get trapped and die.

dog levels: just side step the dogs, they attack very linearly, if you dance in a circle around them, they basically cant kill you ... if you get the ray gun just stand and shoot them in the face, they die in one hit.

Here's my current setup:

Primary: Galil assault rifle
Attachment: Extended magazine
Secondary: Stella rocket launcher

Lethal: Semtex
Tactical: Flashbang
Equipment: Claymore

Perk 1: Lightweight Pro
Perk 2: Sleight of Hand Pro
Perk 3: Marathon Pro

I change my primary weapon frequently, but the Galil is probably my favorite gun. It often depends on the level and what I feel like shooting. I also use the AK74u a lot, mainly for Nuketown and other instances where I want to move fast. I also like the AUG and the Stoner63. If I'm using an assault rifle or a light machine gun, I almost always prefer the extended mag attachment. It's very useful if you need to kill a lot of people without reloading. Also helps you to not run out of bullets if you miss the target a shit ton. If I'm using a SMG I almost always prefer the grip attachment. Improved accuracy is always good imo. Red dot sights are for pussies. I much prefer to use the iron sights because it frees up the attachment for better uses, and I'm just better aiming with the iron sights.

I don't change the secondary too much. If I do, I usually dual wield a pistol. If I don't use the Stella I rarely use my secondary weapon. I like the Stella because I use it frequently to take out mother fuckers' attack choppers.

The grenades and shit are pretty much personal preference as well, although the claymore is absolutely necessary. The flashbang can be swapped for Nova Gas or Concussion with no problems.

As for the perks, I've tried several different combos. I like these three the best because it's all about speed. Having pro is essential. With lightweight pro I move faster and can jump from any height taking no damage from falling. Sleight of Hand is the best perk. I reload faster than fuck, and I also aim down the sights quicker. Marathon pro is also the shit, as I can sprint forever.

As for killstreak awards, I'm not going into much detail. I like to get my killstreaks quick, so I go for the lower-end awards. I use the spyplane, napalm strike, and sentry gun. RCXD killstreak is fucking gay and sucks pretty bad imo, don't use it.

I've killed many mother fuckers with this setup.

[ninjaface]

I still dont have this fucking game.

[Cocktooth]

Galil is by far by best weapon. This AM when I was playing, I recorded 28 kills in Firing Range Domination. 9 of them were head shots. I change my perks depending on the level. Nuketown is about the only time I use slight of hand. Slight of hand doesn't fit my game play like hardline does. Most levels, my kills come from Killstreaks, so I use that to get there faster. I also use Hardened. I find being able to shoot people through walls doesn't allow them to hide after the first hit marker.

What are your killstreaks? I've been using Care package, Chopper gunner and attack dogs. If I play a game like Domination, on a bigger map I will use a sentry gun to protect a base. It's perfect in WMD. This morning I had a guy unleash the dogs on me. I shot 3 dogs coming at me in succession. It was one of the most interesting events that I have online.

[DDTempest]

I pretty much play Team Deathmatch exclusively. Currently level 22 in prestige #4 ... probably stop at 9 once I get all the extra loadout slots unlocked.

My kill streaks are always spy plane + care pack (its like a lottery ticket) and then either sentry gun or attack chopper ... and of course I go with the pro versions of all perks.

My typical loudout is:

1. AK74u with grip and rapid fire (also use: G11 with low power or no scope, or famas with grenade launcher of flame thrower)
Double Python (cowboy style)

Frag
Concussion
C4

Hardline
Steady Aim
Marathon

I keep loadouts for different primaries though:

2. AUG with silencer and extended mag
dual wield pythons

frag
concussion
motion sensor

Ghost
warlord
marathon

3. Kiparis / HS10 shotguns Dual wield
Python Dual wield

frag
concussion
claymore

lightweight
steady aim
marathon

4. Stoner 63 with extended mag
China Lake

frag
nova gas
C4

scavenger
hardened
tactical mask

[Saint DH]

Definitely take back what I said about the red dot sight. I was going through a slump where I was just getting my ass kicked every game. I decided to make a change. Swapped out the extended mag for the red dot sight. I figured with the sleight of hand perk the extended mag wasn't really necessary. It was a good choice. I'm doing much better.

[DDTempest]

I stopped using sights on 95% of the weapons, its just a crutch in most instances as it doesn't actually improve your vision ... it just gives you a lens that has that fake glare on it to make everything not as clear.

No the low powered scope on the G11 ... I fucking love that shit
