Meh...this game is ok. More of the same, for the most part. Feels like everyone we play against went through some kind of Head Glitching 101 tutorial before picking up this game...its insane.

Most disappointing #1: Lag is still bad enough that I can't have fun playing with my west coast GB's Cardfan and Smoke.

Most disappointing #2: Panic knife seems to still be around, although with a bit less range. Was expecting them to eliminate OHK knife to the face but it seems that's still there.

Most postive take aways: Maps better than MW3, customizations are more engaging and provide extra variability(I like that I don't have to run a secondary or tact grenades any more - as I never use either), and its fun playing in a good sized group again.

Half a positive review. Still better than Clawyer

Wait until the noobs level up their Type 25 (not really OP, just an example) to the point where they unlock the tube.

Got noob tubed several times last night. Not good.

 

[Zerp]

Two more good reviews. Eat it, Clawyer.

Make it 3 (mainly) positive reviews. (1) loving each new unlock. Like opening xmas gifts. (2) Team parties last night! 6-person (full) team on dom and KC and 7-team party GW. If we're going to lose, let's do it together. Not a fan of dom on the carrier. Spawn trapping insta-death.

You guys are starting to sell me on the game.

If nothing else, I'd think everyone should be really excited about the dumbed down Perks. Most notably, that Ghost only works when you are moving. That's pretty awesome.

Didn't know that...that's really good. I don't care if its looked down on, I'm running ghost as soon as I unlock it. Makes a huge difference in the games where I have a bit of lag. Besides, if its just hiding from UAV's, not early as OP'd as Ghost Pro in BLOPS 1.

 

[Bogeys]

Only got into 1 lobby with any of the Blops1 group ( PS3, just never played MW3 much, didn't really care for it) but I am enjoying the game so far. Still learning the guns and haven't figured out what I want to stick with. The one I have is I again seem to be one of the only ones carrying a launcher and taking out air support. Gets really old when most people don't even use a secondary but won't carry a launcher. etpeeve:

I really did like the couple of games of sticks and stones I played, the explosive bolts made beautiful music since it almost seemed like constant thunder.

Saw you on some last night along with some others, all lobbies always full so never did get to run with a group.

Good to see you back.We had pretty large groups running regularly on MW3. There's even a clan. Pretty much just the same guys from the first Black Ops. Good guys. Shoot Outcold a message for details.I've only played about 6-7 games so far. Tried running with a party, but it was mostly a futile effort. I could get in the occasional game solo. Then the hard crashes came and eventually, it wouldn't even let me connect to the server at all.I at least want to get in and to make an updated piss on Treyarch emblem.

The problem with carrying a launcher as your seconday is that it takes too long to switch over to it. I always swap out my secondary after my first kill and switching over to a launcher to do that has cost me many deaths, so I haven't run with one since MW2, to be honest.Not having to run a secondary has been great- I'm getting caught less on that split second that i switch.

Not having party chat is the worst mistake Sony could have made with PS3. Running a party is a total pain in the ###

I can relate, killed many times in the same situation (or looking at the sky going in circles to find the spyplane...which, as an aside seems to be much easier to spot in BLOPS2) but if you really are playing a team game you should have at least a couple of people with them. I know most of my problem with that is when I play mercenary, it is usually a race to shoot them down when playing with a good group.

I would see you guys playing, just lots of things going on and the game just didn't draw me in as much. There is a clan that is being used in BLOPS2 also? I can be cannon fodder if there is an opening for that job. I actually played way too long last night, about 4 hours (went to bed at 2 AM and that alarm was a female dog at 5:30 this morning) and I have to say I really like the maps. There are some open lanes that will be a snipers delight, but all of the maps seem to also have covered spaces that you can get around that.

 

[Card Trader]

First impressions...game is fun. I really struggled for most of the night but overall had fun. The opponents are what ssuck, not the game

 

[Bogeys]

I didn't see any quick scoping last night, I hope they took that out or maybe I just got lucky?

So what guns/perks are everyone using? I am still only 14 level and am still using the first assault (not sure on the name) and just got the decent sight for it. Seems that every time I picked up a gun with a silencer I really liked it and didn't seem to have any problems with distance shooting so looking forward to unlocking that. SMGs are really popular, maybe I need to switch although I have always been a SCAR or AUG guy in these games.

I really enjoyed it, however my 6 kills vs 26 deaths was a bit of a let down. I still can finish in the top 3 even with my lack of skill.

How does it work if you don't start with a secondary? Does your secondary default to a knife or something? I.e. how do you switch/pick up a 2nd weapon?

Yeah, it carries over to BLOPS2. It's not a serious thing and doesn't really mean much. In MW3, everybody'd get some double XP whenever the clan would level up a certain amount, which just happened with people playing. Not really any competitive play or anything. I see BLOPS2 has some league stuff and I highly doubt we'd ever get into any of that. We're just old dudes that get online and run around and shoot people.

 

[GroveDiesel]

I had heard that they increased the time to ADS a bit. I'm sure not enough to eliminate it, but hopefully enough to make it a little more rare. Always made me mad to get one shot killed by a guy at a dead sprint that pulled his gun up about a third of the way and landed a one shot kill despite not even being in the scope.

Defaults to knife, and if u pick up a weapon while on your primary it doesn't drop your primary (but I still have to remind myself not to press Y first).

I think I'm just going to not use Perks 2/3. Seems like double attachments and Perk 1's are pretty handy. I kind of think I'd rather have my flash bangs than any of the 2nd/3rd perks. I do miss Recon though.

Don't really care about a secondary though, until I unlock the trusty RPG.

I feel the opposite way. I'm running 5 perks and just a frag grenade and fast mag with an MP7.

What perks?I've been using toughness/EC and like them well enough. Could do without though. I probably won't be able to resist ENG when I unlock it, I guess. The booby trapping crates is too fun to pass up.I guess you're right. 2 perks 1's plus EC and ENG is 4 already.

I'm still on the fence. I have a pre-order that I think owe $20 or so on from awhile back. Not sure when I'm going to pick it up.

Right now running Lightweight, Blind Eye, Fast hands, toughness, and Dexterity. But I'm still experimenting...thinking of changing Blind Eye to hardline as thus far very few people are putting up aerial AI score streaks. I'm eager to open up Flak jacket - that's the one I want the most.

So Domination switches sides halfway through the round?

Yes. I like that. Seems fair.Edited to add: I haven't played CTF yet. They should do same in round 1 and 2 then coin flip if round 3 if tie.

Sheesh. I play for 2 hours. Going about 11-11. Card pops in the game, joins me and Ry and his 2nd game is like 40-3. But he really struggled... Good thing I'm on your friends list. I don't want to play against you once you get going...

Ender, you have to understand... if these guys like clawyer, card, etc. don't get 50 kills, call in two chopper gunners, dogs, and a nuclear bomb, it's a bad game. More than 3-4 deaths = bad game. Etc.I'm happy when I go positive.

I'm not on that list. I am really not that good at this game or MW3. I'll be happy with a 20-10 or even a 10-10 with 6-7 flag caps and 3-4 defends and I'm good. However, when I am playing solo I pretty much chalk it up as a loss and killwhore as much as I can. A little clarification too, rage quitting does not result in probation. Dashboarding does. I don't dashboard. I take the loss and rage quit #### lobbies.

Ah, good to know. I never have dashboarded either... I just take my loss/xp loss and move on when it's a bad host/game.

I was in several games with Z last night (6-7 in the game and party) and never saw it. Based on 1 night, 680K on line, MW3 lag >>>> Blops1 lag > Blops 2 lag.

[GroveDiesel]

So reports are that BO2 is completely down right now for PS3 and there is ZERO word from the devs about why it's down or when it will be back up.

Hopefully it's to fix the massive connection problems that seem to exist on the PS3 right now.

 

[dude]

Mine arrived. Save me a spot tonight #####es...

 

[GroveDiesel]

Lol, there's a bug on the escort drone right now where sometimes, instead of killing the enemy, it will come in and kill you over and over again.

I will be on tonight.

Th3 Pioneer II is my son.

I am rolling Gamertag, Poundn G Spots

add me for all I havent got back in touch with.

I have two, possibly three trials tomorrow. I will do my best to join you all and unplug my mic, so you don't hear my constant bickering.

Liking it so far but wish they would fix the scoring.

You should never, EVER rank up when you go 8 - 19.

If anything you should be demoted back down and weapon xp is lost. So dumb.

 

[Billy Ball Thorton]

I didnt mention my unsolicited review.

The last 2 editions Black ops and MW3 didnt really do much for me and I played here and there but in my limited time played so far on this game I can say I really like it.

Maps are great as is sounds and graphics. Gameplay is gameplay lag is going to happen, if your pusy hurts that bad when you get lag then online game play is not for you.

I like the perks so far and it seems it has taken steps in the right direction to eliminate ###### campers.

my biggest problem in the last couple games was when I noticed a camper on my team I would follow him around blazing my pistol until both if us were killed. i think I may no longer need to do that and I like it.

 

[Zerp]

I have two, possibly three trials tomorrow.

Best wishes GB. Hope they find you not guilty. On each charge.
