Call of Duty: Black Ops

Good point! Though, IMO the spread is reduced more than just a "tiny bit" and it's also more consistent. Notice the FAL didn't jerk to the left.

And another fun one: mad about that knife lunge!

That shit happened to me like 3 times today, it really pissed me off and i turned that shit off. I'm gonna put the controller down for a bit and find more interesting things to do, this game needs to be patched STILL, the knifing and the spawning.

and holy crap, look at this video, that is crazy:

lol i JUST watched that vid, knife needs more nerfs

Agreed, there's still many times where I go "WTF, I thought commando was removed"

Anyhow, I love running around with the ak74u with steady aim on, and pretending that I'm playing Halo. It's great to see a dude ADS and trying to shoot you, while you strafe around him and just spray and get the kill.

Anybody play dead ops yet? I think it's better than Zombie Apocolypes. I've only played it by myself. Anyone know if you can do Live MP in this game?

Played it last night with 4 people (all together in the same room). Was pretty fun, and fast paced. We got to level 27 on our 2nd try; it's essentially 4 player geometry wars, with zombies instead of shapes.

That looks like he is running an aimbot or something.

Or he's found a way to quickscope. Many times the gun was being pulled up like he was aiming.

Like I just told my coworker, we don't know how many times he died in making some of those videos, he's just showing us the good shots.

Yeah steady aim is way underrated. Once you get that first shot their aim is all screwed, so not having to aim helps quite a bit. If I'm playing as a rusher in objective games I go with lightweight steady aim ninja with a pm63 and just spray peoples faces while I cap flags. K/d doesn't always end up so great, but I really rack up the captures.

Isn't this 100% identical to all other sniper/QS videos? Is it noteworthy because quick-scoping is supposedly removed, or is there something I'm missing?

 

[Anubis]

there are always a comment on those QS vids that say you cant do that anymore, they were taken before the patch

yah, this style hurts my kd a lot, but it's a lot of fun. Sometimes, especially on havana, I'll have a really good run though, and get to my 11 streak.

I noticed with the pistol he has some kind of modded controller, which reminded me of the Intensafire site. They now have this thing -->http://bgrmods.com/products/noscope.php Its just a sticky you put on your TV, but could explain a lot of the no scoping once you it have dialed in to your screen.

Either that or he is just really really really good.

Wouldn't be surprised if he had a marker on his screen for easier no scoping.

 

[sygyzy]

How does that sticker help?

 

[chorb]

How does that sticker help?

put it on your tv screen where the gun would be aimed (as if you were looking down the sights). Now you know exactly where your un-zoomed gun will shoot without having to bring up the sights. you've just gained .3 seconds advantage by having not bringing up your sights and yet still have an reticle to guide your aim with.

Wow that's really smart. Thanks for explaining it!

Not sure I agree on the modded controller when viewing the pistol - I believe he's using the full-auto pistol and you can fire the python fast as hell without controller mods.

The Python is probably like the Magnum in MW2, it doesn't have to fully settle before the next shot can be fired which makes it seem like a modded controller.

LOL - I remember that shit from CS. People would draw a little crosshair or dot on their screen and get AWP kills without having to aim.

I didn't watch the video for long once I saw it was the stupid annoying ass QS shit, but yeah the Python fires damn fast. Very similar to the Magnum. I love it as my secondary, with speed loader.

I had a matrix knife shot the other day when we were all playing Sticks n' Stones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDrgRnqm0ss

Yup people been doing it for years. Hell I did it back in the day.

I just wish people online were actually decent it seems like if I'm not playing with friends I cannot win a game. I just went 25-4 on jungle and we still lost.. GGGRRRRRRHHHHHHHH

LoL i was playing with my friend last night and we kept carrying our entire team. Me and him would have like 4k points while our entire team would be under 1k.

Reflex > Red Dot for FAL and Commando (likely true for the other semi-auto and full-auto AR's as well)

I just tested it out with the FAL, Commando and AK47 in system link. This is total nonsense. The zoom level between the two is *exactly* the same. RDS time is exactly the same. Spread is exactly the same.

He might have been mistaken by the way he did it. I threw a grenade at the wall, killed myself, and then picked up the other weapon so I had both in my hands. That way I can compare directly. The zoom level is precisely 10000% the same between red dot and reflex. There is also a random element to the spread, and thats the only reason why he saw a difference. It could just as easily have gone the other way, there was no repeatable advantage to either.

Dot sights are just for looks and to unobscure the center of your sights. So far its not been proven by anyone reliable that there is any sort of accuracy, auto aim, or any other gain to using one. There certainly could be, but its not a zoom level difference across the board.

That's exactly how I play. My buddy tells me how useless Steady Aim is and how I need to be running Sleight of Hand or whatever, but I think my 2.6 ratio trumps his 0.8.

ADS'ing not only takes too long (even with SoH Pro), but if you're squaring off against multiple enemies, it really slows your ability to target each of them. Steady Aim rules. I've been using it almost exclusively since COD4.
