CoD Black ops just annoys me now

**no_limits** · 02-07-2011 11:50 PM

I don't know about anyone else but all black ops does now is it gets me angry. For the first few weeks I was like "Oh wow new stuff" and I was pretty good at it. Now everyone just camps and uses the stupidest tactics. It's just like how modern warfare 2 went bad. But I can't stop playing it. I know it sounds stupid but even though it makes me angry and I say to myself "Right I'm never going to play this freaking game again" I always find myself a few days later playing it again. Anyone else in agreement?

Maybe you should stop paying Activision money for some of the most shitty games the industry has ever witnessed? Just a suggestion.

LOL Marvo...I've seen/played worse, a lot worse, but yeah I see where you're coming from. It's like those people who complain about the radio, but they have to listen to it. Anyways, I slightly enjoy COD, but I only play it a few times out of the year. I couldn't imagine playing a game that's based off cheese tactics that often, but that's what happens, when there's competitive play involved. People are going to do whatever it takes to win.

When the entire game is based around cheese tactics rather than actual tactical and aiming skill, I wouldn't expect anything else.

Playing it on hardcore helps...but there are still problems. In this day and age, there really should be destructible buildings. I've never seen any air craft that can take multiple missiles and be completely immune to gunfire. I'm not saying make it 100% realistic, but there aren't any real good measures to take out campers that find good spots.

**Flywithme** · 02-08-2011 07:42 PM

Medal of Honor is way better than Black Ops. I actually gave away black ops to a friend because I hated it.

**Raspberry** · 02-08-2011 08:33 PM

I kick-ass at CoD!

Not really, i just like to tell people that after I kicked my friends butt. He was pissed...

I think I'll stick to Oblivion and similar games

If hardcore is anything like MW2 hardcore or CoD4 hardcore, then no. Hardcore is even worse. It's just pure luck.

Personally, I don't see why people cry about "campers" so much, and I say this as someone who is usually a 'run-and-gunner'. If someone takes up a good position and can snipe people as they come around, while limiting the chance that they can get shot from where they are, it's called being tactical, not cheap. Either you find some way to penetrate their position, get there first, or accept the fact that they are employing a useful - realistic - method of killing people. Imagine if people in wartime went around complaining about snipers being "campers" and how cheap it is.

My interpretation of a "cheap" tactic would be the guys who build up their melee perks to a level of completely superhuman ability, run around the maps with infinite endurance, superhuman speed, and then tack on the perk of being able to lunge across completely unrealistic distances - in an instant - and kill people with one stab from their knives. These people can come out of a match with 300% more kills than people that are fighting with long ranged weapons. That is something to complain about.

I completely understand the tactic of camping, but come on. There are some teams that literally pile everyone up in a single room and win. If I don't have my grenades/rocket launcher perked out, there's nothing I can do. I remember some stages on COD2 where I was like "oh...it's a wrap because they started on that side of the map." Sure there's ways around it after a Normandy beach type blood bath, but whatever.

Maybe I just haven't run into the problem too much. I dunno. I'm still relatively new to online CoD, so I probably just haven't learned all the ins-and-outs of just how big a problem it really is. But now MW2 multi-player has gotten hacked, so I take the stats and everything much less seriously. I'll probably end up getting Black Ops, just because the mutli-player is actually...well...playable (even though it's still a lot of fun at times on MW2, as it is), but I guess I just haven't been to exposed as 'camping' as a huge 'problem' yet.

*shrugs*

I'm not too familiar with the name of the stage, but it looks like it could be a location in South America or something. Anyways, I was on team death match, and I linked up with some guys who crammed into one room on the second floor in the corner of the map and the other team couldn't do anything. I felt bad for them. I haven't seen it done a lot because normally I play mercenary, but my friend was suggesting I play team in order to get better going against people who think they can dominate all of the time because they're with their buddies.

I'll just leave this here.

**Rybread34** · 02-11-2011 03:46 AM

Thats call of duty for ya, "I hate this game so much but I can't stop playing it" Which is why I don't buy it.

**Solarflare** · 02-11-2011 03:53 AM

**Black_Eagle** · 02-11-2011 08:02 AM

Counter Strike will always be twice the game call of duty ever was.

Not a huge fan of COD, it's okay on occasion, but really what's the big deal?

The original CoD4 was fun enough, keeping things real, though still introducing some fun mechanics in multiplayer. MW2 kind of went over the top and BLOPS is just laughable.

**AURON** · 02-11-2011 08:26 PM

Heartbeat sensors, air-strikes that occur like five second after calling them in. Having to shoot people multiple times in the chest even with large caliber weapons, while knife stabs to the foot cause instant death. Aircraft that are immune to gunfire. Weapons that have a target grouping the size of a barn. Automatic weapons that fire like there's no tomorrow, and the aim is still relatively easy.The ability to fire off a .45 handgun in rapid succession, and return the aim to the same exact point with robot like reflexes. Dual wielding shotguns. Crap perks that make people even more killable or more invincible. The list goes on. Do I personally hate it all? Nah...I'm used to it now, but in the back of my mind my inner soldier is saying "this is a bunch of BS".
