No russian was terrible. It started good, but around the time there was a giant random pile of bodies for no explicable reason, I thought “this sucks”, and I hadn’t even gotten to the waves of obnoxious shield troops.
I might get it in a month or so. Hopefully I can find some constructive criticism rather than the usual fanboy or hater to see if it’s actually worth it. I thought MW2 wasn’t the best game ever or anything, just enough for me to enjoy playing it a little, so I’ll have to wait and see.
I hate you. > 
What I hated most about No Russian was that it was optional; not that people should be FORCED to watch that kind of insane violence, but that it apparently mattered so little to the narrative that you can freely skip it. If this were some driving force; one of the most important cinematic moments in the game, that everything else were based around, then maybe it would be worth doing. Otherwise, they’re just putting in violence for the sake of controversy.
As if that were a bad thing.
Well, I sent Activision a message asking for help. I first went to steam support and on the main support page they had a huge announcement saying if you were having problems with Black Ops in-game, bug Activision support. Activision support has a big list showing all the problems and glitches in Black Ops they’ve identified. Then when submitting my question it told me they are getting overloaded with support issues and not to send duplicates. This amount of fail just cannot be described. And all of this coming from a massively rich company, the most profitable game franchise (excluding WoW), and probably the Highest budget game this year.
I fear for the quality of gaming this coming year. And I hear there’s going to be an MW3.
Well considering that IW basically got screwed over…
Well, I just ran into my first aimbotter on Black Ops. I’m going to look into returning the game and getting my money back, but I doubt it’ll happen.
There’s no such thing as choppy performance and aimbots when you’re on an xbox!
Oh, you mean this?
Quick 'shop :3
fact: 90% of accusations of hacking are false
But he shot me! Clearly he’s hacking.
A single aimbotter? Well, that’s mature. Isn’t that the same as running into a red light and trying to return your car?
Strange, there appear to be a few game franchises a little way ahead of Call of Duty. And World of Warcraft for that matter. WoW is small fry compared to, say, Mario, Pokemon or Final Fantasy. Fucking Tetris is more popular that CoD. But it is popular, so point taken…
…Except not. Is this the first game to have some teething troubles? No. A popular game having support issues? Why, that’s completely unheard of. Give it a few weeks and all the issues will be fixed. Except, of course, for the lack of fun in multiplayer. That’s permanently unfixable.
Fact: 90% of accusations of hacking in BO are false - because the game’s so laggy that you see yourself shooting the other player in the face, but the killcam shows you just standing there. Like a noob. Doing nothing. Apart from dying!!
And the SP is broken for me, it crashes on me every time in the snow level with the Blackbird, after you control Hudson for the second time and go to the door to leave, it kills my computer. Complete lock-up every time.
There is such a thing as a server full of whiny 12 year olds however, so it evens out.
I think it’s entirely possible that lag could make it look like someone is hacking. The way it would work is:
“Hacker”
Tick 1: I notice an enemy on a higher ledge.
Tick 2: I bring my ironsights up and start to spin my aim over.
Tick 3: I’m still correcting my aim to hit perfectly.
Tick 4: I take a few shots that miss.
Tick 5: Headshot!
“Killcam”
Tick 1 occurs, but the rest don’t get through. The killcam shows the person just running forward
Tick 5 occurs, and the person is instantly killing someone.
i want to build a switch that hangs the game for everyone but me. it can be done. :retard:
Maybe in any other game, but not in CoD. EVERY SINGLE KILL HE HAD was a head shot. Tell me that’s not hacking. Try playing MW2 Ground War. Completely full of aimbotters, if Black Ops has the same shitty anti cheat, the same will happen to it. I looked it up on youtube, and they’re using the exact same hack as the one from MW2. Black Ops Hacker.
@Katana, the killcams in which I saw the aimbotter weren’t choppy or weird at all. Generally the killcams don’t lag much. The hackers killcam is always huge instantaneous turns directly at people’s heads. And it happens repeatedly. If something like that were the case then only a couple of the hacker’s kills would be headshots.
Edit: More hacking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVPTIS_Oz0s
Edit2: also, the dedi servers don’t have the same system as CoD4; ranked servers have no admins so hackers will not get banned.
Eeeehhhh. The game hasn’t successfully pulled me in yet. I’m not really that interested, especially since they replaced the pseudo-classical music with bland modern music that has no real draw, and adds nothing to the feel of the levels. I haven’t felt immersed in the game (feeling/thinking the way my character would) and all the weapons look and sound like airsoft weapons. However, there are multiplayer bots and more H&K weapons, so it’s not a total loss.
Also, anyone know how to turn off the inverted dual-wielding controls?
Garth, I’ve been accused of hacking plenty of times before, as have friends of mine who I know don’t hack. And the accusers are always completely convinced that they’re right. I’ve also seen people I don’t know being accused of hacking that didn’t show any sign of it at all (except that they were pwning it up).
CoD seems to have a reputation of being full of hackers, but in almost all cases (obviously excluding those where it’s blindingly obvious) it’s just not true. In CoD1/2/4 at least.
I know there are hackers, but just going to another server is a perfectly viable solution.
Oh, and make sure you enable punkbuster in the search filters 
Every single kill the guy had was a headshot. in his killcam he aimed faster than would be possible even with the highest sensitivity. He was hacking.
