Hey guys,

I can only see the ranking emblems in Black Ops at the moment, everyone appears to have no custom emblem showing.
I can see mine but it doesn't seem to show up in-game either.

Just wondering has anyone experienced this glitch, cheers!

Anyone?

Did you have a second account logged in at the same time (playing with 2 players online)? That will erase everyones emblems from view until you reset your xbox.

Other than that... I'm not sure.

I di play split screen with my brother, I will reset and delete cache, cheers man

Re: 3Arc made a big killstreak mistake.

Back in the devolopment stages of Black Ops, Napalm strike was a 7 killstreak, and ArchAngel (Valkryie Rockets) was a 5 killstreak.

ArchAngel was renamed Valkryie Rockets and was swapped with Napalm for unknown reasons.

I would like Valkryie Rockets to swap back to a 5 Killstreak (4 w/ Hardline) and Napalm to a 7 Killstreak (6 w/ Hardline)

Why?

1.)Napalm can cover objectives, can be used to spawn trap enemies, or to spawn kill enemies, it can be placed over enemy care packages to steal them, and can be set over friendly care packages to safeguard them.

2.) Valkryie Rockets are hard to maneuver, you can hit a wall while trying to kill a enemy, a enemy can come up and kill you while your controlling said rocket, the rocket can be shot out of the air, and the crate can be captured.

I really hope these can be swapped, as Valkryie Rockets are under powered, and Napalm can be quite devastating.

I don't mind losing 140 against 200, even loosing 199 against 200 although nerve wrecking is not bad. But loosing minus 100 against 200 is an insult.

If I have to choose between chalking up another loss or getting **** for 10 minutes and then still get a loss, i prefer quitting and try another match.

Sign into xbox.com and go to the ban section in the forum and post there, you should get a quick response!

Over the months i have seen countless threads about this terrable lag over the forum while playing BLACK OPS on a wired connection,i have never experianced it,if mobile broadband is bad,why have i played mwf2,waw and BO with no problems?
Could the lag be a problem for wired connections only?
Just something i was thinking about,it may be a conspiracy theory!!!!!!!!!! :o

I've used it for 2 years with no problems unless there is a massive gale warning which seems to effect all broadband in Ireland?

I know this has been covered to death already, but do you not think that there should definitely be a penalty if a host decides to dashboard or sign out of Xbox Live? I've just come out of 4 matches in a row where the host has decided to leave.
Nothing major, but like a 1 hour ban would definitely lower the amount of people mindlessly quitting just because they're losing or can't keep up their K/D.
PS.. Do we still get a loss if the host disconnects?

This can't be done due to people having lives in the real world and they may need to leave, should they get community service , maybe.........lemon!

I spilled my tea on my testicles once as i was playing and I think having to endure that pain was enough punishment as i turned off my xbox!

That is where sniper rifles are in the wrong and you shouldnt be able to pull up a sniper rifle and shoot from 2 ft away. It doesn't make sense

Re: TSUNAMI AND EARTHQUAKE

A massive earthquake has hit the north-east of Japan, triggering a tsunami that has caused extensive damage.

Japanese television showed cars, ships and even buildings being swept away by a vast wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude earthquake.

The quake has sparked fires in several areas including Tokyo. At least 32 people were killed, officials said.

It struck about 250 miles (400km) from the capital at a depth of 20 miles. There have been powerful aftershocks.

The tremor, measured at 8.9 by the US Geological Survey, hit at 1446 local time (0546 GMT). Seismologists say it is one of the largest earthquakes to hit Japan for many years.

At the scene

Roland Buerk
BBC News, Tokyo
When the earthquake hit, buildings in Tokyo swayed. Walking was like crossing the deck of a ship at sea.

People poured down from their offices and stood in the street staring up.

A large fire seemed to have broken out in one part of the city and, in another place, injured people were being brought out of a station.

The authorities immediately issued a tsunami warning.

In Tokyo, public transport has been suspended, elevators are switched off in many buildings and thousands of people have gathered in squares and around train stations.

A tsunami warning was extended across the Pacific to New Zealand in the south and North and South America to the east.

The Red Cross in Geneva warned that the tsunami waves could be higher than some Pacific islands, Reuters news agency said.

Coastal areas in the Philippines, Hawaii and other Pacific islands were evacuated ahead of the tsunami's expected arrival.

Wall of water
Strong waves hit Japan's Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, officials said, damaging dozens of coastal communities. Kyodo news agency said a 10-metre wave (33ft) struck the port of Sendai in Miyagi prefecture.

Japan's NHK television showed a massive surge of debris-filled water sweeping away buildings, cars and ships and reaching far inland.

Motorists could be seen trying to speed away from the wall of water.

History of deadly earthquakes
How to measure earthquakes
Animated guide: Earthquakes
Animated guide: Tsunamis
Farmland around Sendai was submerged and the waves pushed cars across the runway of the city's airport. Fires broke out in the city's centre.

Another fire was reported to be burning in the turbine building of the Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi prefecture.

The UN's nuclear agency said four nuclear power plants had shut down safely. Prime Minister Naoto Kan said there had been no radiation leaks.

Police and local officials said at least 32 people had been killed in the earthquake and tsunami. It is believed the death toll could rise significantly.

In Iwate prefecture, also near the epicentre, an official said it was difficult to gauge the extent of the destruction.

"Roads were badly damaged and cut off as [the] tsunami washed away debris, cars and many other things," said Hiroshi Sato, a disaster management official in Iwate.

'Seasick'
The earthquake also triggered a massive blaze at an oil refinery in Ichihara city in Chiba prefecture near Tokyo, engulfing storage tanks.

There were reports of about 20 people injured in Tokyo after the roof of a hall collapsed on to a graduation ceremony.

Residents and workers in Tokyo rushed out of apartment buildings and office blocks and gathered in parks and open spaces as aftershocks continued to hit.

Many people in Tokyo said they had never felt such a powerful earthquake.

In central Tokyo, Jeffrey Balanag said he was stuck in his office in the Shiodome Sumitomo building because the elevators had stopped working.

"There's no panic but we're almost seasick from the constant rolling of the building," he told the BBC.

Bullet train services to northern Japan were halted and rapid transit in Tokyo was suspended, stranding many workers in the city centre.

About four million homes in Tokyo suffered power outages.

In a televised address, Prime Minister Naoto Kan extended his sympathy to the victims of the disaster and said an emergency response headquarters had been set up.

R.I.P the ones who have lost there lives and the ones who will lose there lives

R.I.P. to all killed by this disaster,our prayers are with you people of Japan!

Colorful maps (maps like Stadium, Nuketown and Terminal)
A ranking system that shows skill and not playtime. I would love a Halo 3-like ranking system for CoD. For those who don't know, you have a rank (1-50) on all gamemodes. Obviously you start at 1 and progress till level 50. When you play good, your rank goes up. But if you play a couple of bad matches, your rank goes down.
Doubles gamemode, 2v2 public
SoH Pro for snipers (QS Fanboy)
MLG Variant gamemode in public
More rewards than e.g. a gold gun or title when you reach highest prestige
