Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Bman123]

Hardline pro is probably the best perk in the game with hacker pro second

I've been trying out the Enfield today and so far I really like it. I'm getting decent scores, generally between 1.5 and 2.5 with a few that were much higher.

I'm finding that it takes me a while to warm up, and after about 2 hours or so I start doing really good. So lately I've been warming up and playing a round or two in combat training. I think it really helps, and its good cause I don't get raped right away in MP.

As far as killing sentries goes, I'm pretty sure SAM turrets count. Are you guys using Hacker when you're trying to get ghost pro? I don't see why someone wouldn't use hacker anyway since it's obviously the best 3rd perk. In the last couple of hours I must have killed about 6 or 7 sentries/SAMs. I think there was only 1 senty that I killed.

Using sleight of hand pro and dual mags is awesome. I never get caught reloading anymore, and I'm finding it easier to win fights with the extra little ADS boost it gives.

edit: today I had another guy just run right over my claymore without it blowing up. I was looking right at him as he did it. And no, it didn't just take a while it didn't blow up at all cause I killed him and saw that it never went off. It wasn't even in a corner either, it was sitting in the middle of the room.

I never use dual mags, I use the silencer, SOH is more then enough for me

 

[smackababy]

I been using extended mag and silencer on my FAMAS lately. I am liking it.

 

[Kabob]

You get two extra mags when you use dual mags, handy for the man who runs out too often.

I cannot stand teammates who don't run ghost with a silencer simply because they insist on following me around and being up my ass all the time...

Yep, just happened to me...

I'm tellin ya marathon pro is a PITA to get. I've been playing CTF for a while now today and have only gotten a few flag captures because no one guards me while returning the flag

Uh, no, SAM turrets don't count and Ninja is a better 3rd perk for many people. I might see a couple care packages over a few hour period of playing, so I don't see how Hacker is that big of a deal. I also don't run into much equipment, so I don't really see how it's "obviously the best 3rd perk" by any stretch.

Any time I play Headquarters or Domination, the objectives are riddled with equipment. Not to mention, trapping enemy care packages is lots of fun. Plus, you're invisible to motion sensors. To me it is more useful than Ninja because I am aware of my footsteps while I walk.

Ghost Pro is so easy. I got the sentry kill in 1 round of effort after adding sentry as a killstreak. Also added hacker just to help. You just throw it to the other team, it couldn't be easier.

That's a good point. I haven't played much in the way of objective games yet.

Tonight I was playing some FFA and got my dogs towards the end of the match. One of my puppies got the game winning kill, which went into the killcam Even better is the dog was going for one guy I was trying to kill, so it showed me killing him and then it got another guy. And yes, there is an award for getting dogs in the killcam.

I played a couple matches of Domination tonight. I did well mostly, but I dislike how on some of the maps there is just no way to defend the capture point. As others have noted, the maps are generally just very open with many routes, so it's hard to guard against where enemies might come from.

The good thing with hacker pro is if you play f4a you booby trap the care package and leave it there. It's too hard to resist a free care package so ppl try to get it and they blow up

 

[jman19]

Well my system lockup du jour was at least funny this time - PS3 controller was vibrating when the game locked up - except the controller wouldn't stop until I did a hard reset of the system

Fun to do even with the crappy drops like counter spy plane. i have been having fun in all modes with it. Teammates dont seem t o care much about getting ammo drops and the such so its usually not to long before an enemy gets it.

Though recently my annoying way to die has been getting hit with a grenade in the face. Hadnt had it happen till today but ive died 4 times today to just a guy throwing a grenade and having it hit me in the face and dieing (without exploding). Kind of makes me laugh but still annoying!

 

[smackababy]

I almost always get two kills with the trapped packages because there is always two people trying to get it.

New patch notes for PS3 version

 

[smackababy]

At long last the PS3 conspiracy has unraveled!

 

[Bman123]

360 version is running great for me

 

[coldmeat]

I now have all pro versions of the perks that I use. I have sleight of hand, steady aim, ghost, hardline, and hacker. I've had all the other ones for a while but I never used a rocket launcher so I hadn't unlocked ghost pro. It only takes a few rounds to get the 30 spy planes. I'm pretty sure anti spy planes count as well. The hardest part was playing with this one guy for a few games who seemed to also be going for ghost pro lol. Now the only thing I have left to unlock is the last 2 layers for my emblem. It seems to be taking forever to level up in the 40s, probably just cause it goes really fast before then.

Also, it's really hard to shoot down an attack helicopter. If it sees me, I'm usually dead before my Strela can lock on, and it's got ridiculous aim, same as the heli from COD4, I hated that thing so much.

just make sure you are kinda behind it, and use slight of hand on your launcher class makes reloading so much faster

 

[smackababy]

I never have a problem. Now with ghost pro, I really never have a problem.

I find that overall Hacker saves my life and alerts me to an enemy's presence more often than Ninja does, I use it on all my classes ATM. Haven't tried to get Pro yet, I probably should.

Played a few rounds of FFA this morning, in this game more than MW2 your connection speed is imperitive to both success and fun. I played one game where I had two yellow bars and found myself dying in ridiculous situations where I got the drop on the guy with 4 greens. Once I found a new lobby with a better connection I instantly did better.

Got the Commando back right before I left for work, man I miss this gun. As decent as some of the other weapons are it just seems the most balanced.

 

[Stuxnet]

I would actually think it's the other way around. Given the fact that you die/kill faster in MW2, connection speed would be more important in MW2.

I'm torn between Hacker and Ninja. I like Ninja because I can still hear what's going on around me when I run. Before the audio "fix" in the last patch, there was little reason to use it... but now, it's a tough choice. I'm still just not getting killed frequently enough by claymores or sentries to justify it.
