I'm actually very happy with the purchase system. Instead of having to jump through hoops to get the attachments I want, everything is unlocked and I get to customize right off the bat.
I just think it could get grindy having to mash out games to buy things for guns. Sometimes it does work out where you get attachments quick, but buying the pro version of a perk after I just did all the goals for.


Why not it's a different subject?

Because it was about you not liking Call of Duty: Black Ops... This is the thread dedicated specifically to Black Ops. You see how they correlate?

Why is my thread suddenly in a generic Blops topic rather than the one I started for a different subject matter?

Umm...how was it different subject matter? There's no reason to make a new thread to talk about your feelings on Black Ops...there's already a Black Ops thread which have reviews and people's opinions of the game included. Unless it's something drastically different or that requires a different line of discussion (ex: AVS has a general Black Ops thread and a Zombie Strategy thread), just put everything in the main thread.

It's about Black Ops, everything about Black Ops goes in here. Stop cluttering up the forums with extra unnecessary threads. If you were talking about your likes or dislikes of Hello Kitty Online, then you can create a new thread.

Riiight... I'll go post it in PC games, they arn't so anal over there.

Alright, so let's hear everyone's single favorite map along with their single most hated map. I think we've all been able to play it enough by now to know which way we lean on both.

My favorite at the moment is Array. I like the open terrain around 3/4's of the map. I was torn about listing either Array or Summit, but if I had to pick one, it'd be Array at the moment.

The one I dislike the most is Radiation. I just hate the layout and it's hard to get a good "path" through the level without leaving yourself vulnerable from so many positions. My dislike map was a tossup between this and Crisis.

It's always awarded you the kills for when a host quits, not sure about the win though.

Not unless there was a host migration. The stats get sent at the end of the game; if there's no "end", there's no stats upload.

Because there are plenty of comments in this thread already about stuff that isn't liked about Black Ops. No need to go off and create a separate thread for ground already covered.

So now can we get back on subject, instead of comparing this game to everything else out there. I get sick of reading through garbage to get to the meat and potatoes about BLACK OPS.

By that logic, you may aswell create a thread called Games and just write everything in that thread, making it almost impossible to find what your looking for, if the mods are obsessed with neatness, then it's a considerably better structure to have separate threads for each indivisible subject. Rather than moderating everything leave stuff and the natural order of things, I.e the threads that people respond to will weed out the irrelevant.

For my favorite it would be a toss up between Array, Summit and Grid. All are very well done and have really good flow. Launch isn't bad except for when the missile takes off. I'm also warm to Cracked and Havana, and Hanoi to a lesser degree. I'm with you on Radiation and Crisis.

You're new here (so am I)... who are you to be offering advice on how to run things? You want to know what REALLY makes it impossible to find what you're looking for? Having to sift through whiny little troll posts like this. Take it to the Forum Issues forum.

Ive noticed that many PS3 ports are poorly done. Worse graphics with worse performance. Theres an IQ comparison video on gametrailers where it shows that the PS3 clearly lacks.

I still cant get Ghost Pro god damnit. No one but me uses the damn sentry.

Marathon Pro is pissing me off, playing capture the flag is lame as hell, been trying to get it since i prestiged.

I really do like Nuke Town for the chaos of it, but for my all around favorite...I dunno. Array is great, I also like Summit although I swear I've only played it 3-4 times in over 150 games.

Least favorite? Probably Radiation or Havana. I do well on both maps, I just don't like how they play as much.

Not unless there was a host migration. The stats get sent at the end of the game; if there's no "end", there's no stats upload.

My best round ever on MW2 the host backed out to the dashboard before the game ended and it updated my highest kill streak, so there was something going on.

So now can we get back on subject, instead of comparing this game to everything else out there. I get sick of reading through garbage to get to the meat and potatoes about BLACK OPS.

I understand that having syphilis makes you ancy, but please calm down!

Great. Let me know when you have a distinct subject on Call of Duty: Black Ops. "Does anyone else not like Black Ops" really isn't one.

An example of a distinct subject would be setting up a game night thread, talking about zombie mode strategies (Source: Kabob Emeritus III) or other tips and tricks.

...you're starting to lose me here.

You were trying to post your thoughts on Black Ops. There is an official Black Ops thread for posts just like that, in fact, there are several reviews and thoughts already in the thread, and you're upset that the moderator moved your thread to where it should be from the start?

For my favorite it would be a toss up between Array, Summit and Grid. All are very well done and have really good flow. Launch isn't bad except for when the missile takes off. I'm also warm to Cracked and Havana, and Hanoi to a lesser degree. I'm with you on Radiation and Crisis.

Seems that you have a thing for snowy maps 'eh?

Which one is Crisis again? I can't seem to recall that one.

I demand that you cite me as a source for inspiration on that!!

Unless it's something drastically different or that requires a different line of discussion (ex: AVS has a general Black Ops thread and a Zombie Strategy thread), just put everything in the main thread.

I do actually have a generic Blops question, why the fudge can you not set how long the game is?!?!! It's driving me insane, and for that matter what happened to hardcore mode.

Hardcore mode is unlocked once you get to around level 15 or 20 (can't remember). I've also been able to set match length in private matches, not sure how you're missing it.

...

I don't think I've played that map yet. The name sounds familiar but I cannot recall it.
