Finally got the killstreaks to work, the gunship is pretty cool, it is like a small ac130 and a chopper. Its not very hard to control, and it shoots small blasts like the ac130 and has a turret. Overall for the 15 kills needed not that great but you can probably get over 10 kills depending on the map. Overall I am not too impressed by the killstreaks, getting 6 kills for a stupid killstreak like 'Mortar' is well....stupid. Some are only really good for demolition/domination type of games.

why would u buy the reach controller it sucks.. its just gey with a few lines on it.. the b.o controller is completly different.. the mouse looks bad ass but i dont use my pc that much anymore so not gonna get it. but getting the xbox controller

I think that's a good thing, but we'll see how it turns out in ~10 days.

Is this Black Ops one wired? Is there a wireless version?

[Rawrrr]

the ps3 one is wireless the xbox one is wired and no there is no wireless version for the xbox

[XMoshe]

I prefer wired anyways :]

[William-CL]

I prefer wired anyways :]

Same. No need to worry about battery life and I never snag the cord anyways.

[Rawrrr]

i would prefer wireless but i suppose with the light up analogs etc then the battery life wont really last long. but they cant make a wireless one anyway coz of the precision aim buttons on the back >_<

[Key-J]

@Ownage

So you say Mortar is bad? I was looking forward to that, calling in strikes on 3 positions of the map at the same time.

[XMoshe]

Yeah and it's lighter in your hand. At the moment I'm using a wireless controller with the charger cable and without a battery pack. The battery was so bad anyways so it had to be on the charger almost 24/7, like this it's alot lighter.

In my opinion its no better then the precision on Mw2. It can be useful for certain situations like Domination or Demolition, even SnD, but on a regular game type it won't get you many kills.

[Miguez]

But did you try it against a team ? I can see it racking alot of kills on tdm if you mortar the hotspots of the map?

[Tasdik]

Why would you buy MW2 when BO is like a week away?

So will you smack him? Or do I have to do it.

For shits and giggles. Already played like 30 hours with my bros. Loving it.

[Ownage]

found something else about gunship, that I did not notice before, it has an ammo count. The rockets reload and it will show in your bottom left hand corner, but I think once the turret bullets are done (you start with 1k) then you can't shoot anymore.

For a 15 kill streak I expected this to be a lot better. I guess this is how they are trying to avoid camping on this game, although it will happen.

If you can go online...let's do private match qsing or something.

[VeniVidiVici]

Moshe, we should do a QS match again Loved the previous time Maybe tomorrow?

[XMoshe]

Maybe one or two, really got 'some' things done before monday lol

[Ownage]

Well full games out, not much different, except graphics. Gonna have some zombie fun!

[XMoshe]

Wait wut? Next tuesday?! o.O

[Miguez]

It's already out? What?

[Ownage]

Yea a lot of people are already getting them, go on ebay some legit copies there, it got leaked though, thats how I got it. If you want the Game atm you would probably be paying over $100. I would wait till release day, thats when I am getting my legit copy.

[Miguez]

But don't they ban people who go and play it online? They should <_<

Because it can't be legit if the game hasn't been released legitly right?

[XMoshe]

Well stores are already gettin the copies so they got enough stock for the release date. And some shops sell them before the official release date (unknowingly or on purpose). I have gotten a few games 1 or 2 days early but never a week. Also I remember some game like end of last year I think where Amazon send out the games like 2 weeks early by mistake. Or something like that.

But yeah I will just wait till next week. Gonna pre order it later this week I think so it will be delivered tuesday. Lazyness for the win.

[Miguez]

I've already preordered it so next week I'm just going to pick it up

[Ownage]

If its not a big store they might let you pick it up 1-2 days in advance, its not unheard of. But servers aren't on atm, probably won't be until just a few hours before game release.

[XMoshe]

Hmm just pre ordered it, 55 euro muhaha, it was cheaper =p

[Ownage]

:O, only price in US was $60, I remember when games use to be at a max of $40, for console!

Anyways I have good news for anyone who doesn't camp, this game is almost camp-free!!!! I played with some other people over xlink kai, and to my surprise they have designed the maps in such a nice way, that you just can't camp well. It is possible but mainly corner camping and you likely won't get higher then the RC killstreak camping. I have only played 2 games so far though, and both of which were FFA, so maybe it will be different in TDM, but not by much due to the map designs.

[Miguez]

Portugal is such a rip-off... 70€ for each game, I'll have a discount tho for pre-ordering and from all the games I've bought so it's probably going to cost me like 50€ in the end.

[XMoshe]

It's like 60-70 Euro here. But some sell them for 55 so yeah I got lucky haha. I mean it costs like a euro to make one disc? It's fcking insane but o well. I should buy 2nd hand more often but I want games on release dates xD

[Miguez]

Same
