So far it's much worse.

This only makes noobtubing better. It takes 5-10 shots to kill someone now, but it only takes 1 noobtube or explosive projectile to kill me. Awesome.

Seems like I have to play this as I would CS:S, which was me aiming way higher than needed to almost ensure a headshot every time. Takes 3453423432 bullets to kill someone otherwise.

lol... It has ALWAYS been like that, except before, you could use stopping power. This way is so much better. If a noob shoots you in the back, but sucks and can only hit you a couple times in a spray, you actually have a chance to turn around and kill him. I haven't seen a single noobtube used yet, probably because it's so inefficient to use it now.

You're either not reading or just dumb..

It hasn't always been like that at all. Take a SCAR w/ FMJ and stopping power in team deathmatch and it's 2-3 hit kills every single time unless they have painpill. In this game it doesn't matter where you shoot other than the head, it's going to take over 5 shots.

Just because you haven't seen noob tube being used doesn't mean people don't use them..duh. How are they inefficient. Look at the logic here. It takes longer to get killed by bullets, but the same amount of time to get killed by explosives. Why would I take 2 seconds to kill someone with bullets when I could take 1 second to kill them by explosives? Not only that but I don't need to aim the noob tube, and it can kill more than 1 person at a time.

But snipers, who have to aim the OHKO bullet, get shafted. Now aiming is harder, the bullets almost never OHKO..

Tried quickscoping last game. I'm not that great at it, but in mw2 I'd usually get at least a 1.5 kd in a game. I got a .83 kd in BO.

Gonna stop trying to quickscope now. It's hurting my overall kd a lot.

[MrJoey]

Inefficient because you get 2 rounds with no way to get more without dying? Soon after my last post there was someone tubing in Firing Range, he went 4-15. Sure, that's an isolated example, but the only one I have for now.


Snipers are all OHK to upper chest and above, if you're hitting the arms, legs, or groin area (except for L96A1, which is OHK to lower chest as well), then of course you'll get a hitmarker. Hitmarkers do just that, tell you that you hit him, but unfortunately your aim wasn't good enough.

One thing I've noticed is that no one is really using the grenade launcher. I've been playing since Tuesday and I think in one game I played someone used one. It made me a little bit happier not getting constantly spammed by grenade launchers every 5 seconds like in MW2.

Sucks for us ps3 users. I don't believe this frame rate issue can be patched, am i right?

[Toasty]

So far i've died once to a noobtube.

MW2.. that was probably half of my deaths.

Perfect.

[.curve]

I think this game might calculate Kills weird. Because I jumped up 4000 kills in 20 minutes.

[MrJoey]

Glitch probably. Right now I'm raging because my net keeps losing the connection with hosts.

[LillDev!l]

Finaly got my new pc.

Runs Black ops smooth on high quality // 1280x1024, yey xD

[XMoshe]

I got noobtubed like 5 times total, I guess it's not that bad but it's still sad IMO.

Went into combat training, put bots on regular and tried quickscoping. It went like shit lol, the scope moves so weird for me and I get alot of hitmarkers on the torso.

[Fury]

Anyone else notice how claymores are pretty powerful in this cod? Every time i run past one i have no hope of surviving

I like that. Because I am a major Claymore user lol

[Toasty]

Yes definately. Look at the leaderboard.. and you'll have like 10 or 100 times more kills than you really should.

[Rawrrr]

they could have been doing the noobtube contract.. then its not sad.. i never use it unless i have to do that contract so only used it once so far..

but anyway.. im loving black ops atm.. im about to prestige in a few games.. only doing it the once tho.. not doing it all 15 times. sniping in it with the psg1 is awesome and the 2 ak guns are good too.

[XMoshe]

I wouldn't mind a game without noobtubes and where there are just launchers with lock on. Just got the ak47, it's pretty good.

[LillDev!l]

New pc is awesome so far, havent seen CPU go over 60% yet in game and the ram stays steaddy at about 55%.

Does anyone happen to know a good program to monitor computer heat and ajust fan speeds etc btw?

Speedfan only allows control for 3 Fans, apperantly ...

You don't have the click you had in mw2 so it's alot harder to trigger them and get out of the way again >.< Died so many times that way lol

They are probably going to patch the sound in the game which should make soundwhoring possible again =D

[William-CL]

I'M SO HAPPY! I'm getting this Today instead of 2 weeks from now =] Not sure when today though.

[MrJoey]

My claymores seem to get more hitmarkers than BO quickscopers do.

[XMoshe]

I don't understand the snub nose for the python. It gives a shorter barrel and more accuracy. I always thought the longer the barrel the more accurate it gets o.O

Glitch probably. Right now I'm raging because my net keeps losing the connection with hosts.

I want to say it might just be the servers honestly. I noticed they were pretty spotty the past few days.

Yes definately. Look at the leaderboard.. and you'll have like 10 or 100 times more kills than you really should.

I think it gives you kills equivalent to the amount of score you would have. So if you complete challenges, instead of giving you a "Score" value, it gives you that number in kills.

That is indeed strange. I hope it's a glitch. I want my Kills to show my Kills and not my score.. that's what I want my score to show

looking at this vid...I don't really see what there is to complain about sniping =/, 1 shot 1 kill from what I see. Or...do you guys not aim for the head....:/?

[Azilius]

Uhh 11 seconds into that
he gets a hitmarker on high upper body

nicely done?

[LillDev!l]

lol, you know hitting the head is nearly impossible right (especialy with a bit of lag)
Especialy when scoping in and quikly trying to take a shot.

I personaly think the sniping isnt That bad in Black Ops, its just a lot harder and involves some luck if you do it fast // in close quarter situations.

[poehalcho]

^ I always go for heads :/
I don't recall even once having tried aiming for the body on purpose :D. I've gotten too used to playing war rock where only a headshot will kill in 1 hit, so I never considered the possibility of shooting the body :D

[Key-J]

Same here,

Btw The Classified pistol on Full Auto, imo Godly. It's saved me soooo many times

[Miguez]

But try headshots on the console... and especially in previous cods it was so much easier to just spray the body

[Skyve]

Camera Spike is sweet.

Ahh, that makes sense. But I don't do console shooters =/
I don't have an xbox/ps3 anyway.
