I hate it when people think dropshotting takes skill. It's as easy as panic knifing. Althogh I know many of you wouldn't agree to this, I was always thinking that knifing should be a slam with the gun, which is two hits, unless you hold the knife button, which makes a one-hit stab which takes longer. For dropshotting, I'm not sure, maybe what OP said.

I personally think it should be neither and that we should have hand to hand combat. Now while both players are still easily able to be shot and killed by other enemies. the players must then punch or counter with two hits stunning an opponent for the victor to finish him off with a knife. Stealth kills like choking. slitting throats and other stylish attacks could be purchased with enough cod points but are not better than the other in any way to maintain balance. This ends the knife lunging and tact knifers people ***** about but punches arent a one shot kill.

Drop shotting is simpler. Its hard to shoot while going prone in real life and thus it should be useless on cod so when going prone your gun is unusable.

Just wandering when Treyarch is going to start doing something about all the glitchers that are glitching for the golden weapons and all pro perks? I dunno about most of u guys but it seems to ruin it for me, i wanna earn my stuff, and people glitching to get it just ruins the whole game for me, i was playing a game of search yesterday and everyone in the whole lobby but me had golden weapons. Really makes me not wanna play anymore. Why cheat, whats the fun in that, and ruins the whole point of the game, having something to look forward to when u prestige each time! Wish they would do something about it quick.

Damn straight my good man they should ban them too. Take screens and send them in. I do that every time i see one. hell one wanted to 1v1 me to prevent me from sending it... I had already sent it lmao

Re: modern warfare 2 is by far better than black ops

okay my personal opinion before treyarch guys take this post off is that modern warfare 2 feels so much better to play, brand new engine really does show its true colours but then u got black ops. really black ops is cool campaign and stuff but no where near as awesome as modern warfare 2 multiplayer of mw2 is simply amazing although some of you would hate to admit it but its true, mw2 sets the standard or infintyward and then treyarch tries to build up on it in this case they failed also world at war was a big let down, i think they should stop doing cod series and just let infinty ward do the walking and talking, modern warfare 3 will be setting new standards and ovisly treyarch will copy off that and will try to put their own touch on it in doing so will fail just like they did for black ops, if this was a competition they just got noobed.

MW2's storyline had me crying cuz i played it before MP cuz i thought i wasted $60. Then I played the mp and realized i had wasted $60 bucks instead of buying Uncharted 2 which I should have done after renting and having my mind blown. First off Cpt Price couldn't have launched that damn missle cuz how does he know how to program its flight course. Nothing about it made sense.

MP i will never admit because the MP was the WORST MP I HAVE EVER PLAYED. WaW was 1000000 times better hell CoD1 had better multiplayer. i'll even say this WaW without its MP had better multiplayer. The perks were just horrible, deathstreaks were a dumb idea, Killstreaks were overpowered to hell along with the weapons. It was like a 5 year old chose it because of the little things they didn't account for or MAJOR things IW MISSED THAT I COULDVE FOUND IN 5 MINS IN A PRIVATE MATCH. That game was broken and never fixed cuz IW didn't care.

I'M GLAD INFINITY WARD LOST MOST OF ITS STAFF AS THEY FAILED ON MW2. I wasted money to only get frustrated and called a hacker cuz i unlike 90% of 10th prestigers had done it the legit way. I'm at 9 on here and no one has called me a hacker. I loved WaW and love Black Ops personally Treyarch should be the main player for CoD now that Activision is hellbent on ruining it cuz their the only thing keeping CoD good.

You gave no good facts to state your claim so you are now in my eyes an idiot thank you very much for wasting everyones time sir have a good night

Re: NO Weapon Variety.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 05:05:23 GMT

First off good points and you get a golden star for that. You are right in ways maybe wrong in some but either way your right in a lot like weapon balance in WaW (i love how you said minus the MP40 twice ) so cheers to you. some i don't agree with like clip size cuz 30 is kind of the standard. But the Ak47 is correct for the time period but a prototype AK74 would have been awesome just like if the AN-94 was put in the MW series and had the G3 as the arabic countries weapon as they do use that alot when AK47s are more common.

Also I do enjoy guns that are *different* (G11, Crossbow, anything thats different lol) i think a bit more diversity could aid balance it would just be difficult to meet activisions time frame without getting a thousand lashes lol

Re: Reduce bullet damage of players using Ghost and Ghost Pro.

The Ghost perk (uav-jammer/camouflage/cold-blooded) has been in every call of duty since call of duty 4 and has always been in stopping powers/juggernauts perk slot, except only in this call of duty installment stopping power/juggernaut are absent from ghosts perk slot and the game entirely. In Call of duty 4,5 and 6, to hide from a spy plane (or uav/recon plane), you had to sacrifice either juggernaut or stopping power (or both) and adopt a particular stealthy role beacause your firepower/survivability was severly diminished.

However, in Call of Duty: Black Ops juggernaut and stopping power are both absent meaning that using Ghost does not force you to sacrifice either firepower or survivability. This has lead people to believe that Ghost is being overused and possibly abused. Not a single game I have played in either Call of Duty 4, 5 or 6 has the spy plane failed to show at least 5 out of 6 members of the enemy team on my radar. Now, I have had several games where only 1-3 or even none of the members of the enemy team show up on the radar when I use a spy plane.

How is it being abused? In CTF, the person holding the flag only has the red 'KILL' marker when a spy plane is up so everyone is using Ghost. Barebones classic is also plagued with Ghost users as the only killstreaks are spyplane, napalm strike and attack helicopter thus spy planes are very common. Even hardcore playlists have people using ghost to hide from a spyplane. Plus the people who camp in corners with Ghost and a silenced weapon are just plain annoying.

Why is this? Simply because players who are incapable of playing stealthily are no longer deterred from using it.

So if we can't add stopping power or juggernaut (or both) into this game (its very unlikely that treyarch will do that), players using the Ghost perk should have their bullet damage reduced. It would make sense to multiply the bullet damage of Ghost users by 0.75, or think of it as every player not using ghost has juggernaut ONLY when shot by someone using ghost. This reduced amount in damage will make it EXACTLY like the previous call of duty's where someone using ghost did less damage than someone using stopping power (or had to deal more damage to a juggernaut user to kill them).

Discuss plox.

I'm not gonna insult or even truly argue about your points because pure and simple you did your research and made very valid points as well.

Only problem I have is that isn't fair to the guys trying to take down killstreaks using hardened pro which is me sometimes when i have lazy teamates and a lot of annoying helios in the air

also it would probably be hard to do from a technical stand point and may distrupt balance which would drive us up a wall lol

but good points and cheers to you for actually making a thread about the cons of a perk that actually made me believe there are more intelligent people than the gun hacking 12 years i see online a lot lol

Come on man, those things are not game breaking like not being able to play a PS3 version properly. I hate second chance and I don't agree with the amount of time you can drive around an RC car, but it should be the last of his worries right now considering his companies brand is being trashed all over the internet and media for letting a broken PS3 online version go on for this long.

People buy COD for online. How can a company charge the same price for one broken and one fine version, then have the nerve to only address the minor things that are being complained by Xbox users all while ignoring the major things and avoiding the PS3 version/users.

The game has sold over 7 million already on PS3. This isn't Wii or PC we are talking about here.

If you look at Vahns twitter, you would know he's always trying to figure out ways of fixing the PS3 issues.. He often tries resolving issues by playing with people on PS3.

I agree but the issue is that Treyarch like alot of other companies just don't put all that much effort into PS3 games. Think of how much more space a blue ray has compared to the dvds on xbox and pc. If they put the effort in then the PS3 Version WOULD win GOTY without mention of Xbox. They could make this game run like Uncharted and not have issues like were going through right now. Its always one thing after another yet xbox has all these people crying about an rc car while we can't connect to hosts half the time to even experience the unbalanced parts lol

Re: Gameplay Update (version 1.06 and beyond)

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 20:07:49 GMT

I like the idea of making the grip on the Ak74U not as helpful, People need to use other weapons that people like Vahn and treyarch's mp dev team worked hard for two years to make these guns, maps and features. I use a lot of weaponry and I like all the guns except for the AK74u. I think this will greatly improve gun diversity.

Giving the kill in Second Chance is ok with me. I personally think it's fine the way it is (I used it two times during my 8 prestiges, I love my Hacker Pro and Marathon Amateur lol) I don't see reason to complain about it but if the community wants it then cool lol.

I laugh whenever I get killed by an RC-XD because I mean come on its a damn RC car with a bomb on it which is a hilarious killstreak lol. Flak Jacket is a gift from god people should use it more lol.

My only complaint about the sniper rifles is that I never get the Dragunov with a Chevron scope and same with my PSG1's scope. Why is that and how do I fix it? ill search it probably lol

In my eyes Black Ops has by far the worst gameplay of any Call of Duty thats been released. I honestly cant say Im surprised because the game was made by Treyarch and WaW to me was a nice waste of 60bucks but its still somewhat of a letdown seeing how good they did with everything else in the game. I thought the game had a great story for not being attached to any other CoD, the Theater mode online is probably one of the greatest things they could have done because it can almost eliminate boosting/cheating completely, and the contracts coupled with all of the gun attachments make it addicting because there are a ton of options you can try and use and it keeps you into the game, something MW2 couldnt do after a while. Black Ops could have been 10 times BETTER than MW and MW2... but then there was the gameplay...

I have never played a game when a person has the upper hand running into gunfire and randomly hip-firing. You must not have played COD much cuz i've seen it in all CoDs I've played. SMGs have more accuracy hip firing at CQC and most RnGers know that. MW2 had tons of em in fact i see it less in Black Ops

I know its a videogame and im not asking for it to be 100percent like real-life, but its pretty annoying when you can shoot someone 8times with a rifle and they shrug it off like nothing ever happened and 3shot you with an SMG. Now first of 4 is enough at a distance for a rifle to kill so your probably missing your shots and the other guy had better aim and theres nothing you could've done.

Now I feel like I wasnt half bad at MW and MW2, I have a 3.00+ k/d in both and im not trying to toot my own horn here or anything Im just saying I feel like I somewhat knew what i was doing. In Black Ops im a 2.20 and I go negative more now than I have in every other CoD combined. Ok now your just plain bitching. You've got a camper k/d ratio in all games when most people i see are 1.50 and i'll admit I'm 1.05 and idc about it cuz i'm still good. If you have a 2.20 k/d ratio then you are truly in no position to ***** and moan about a game. I'm not trying to be rude but Treyarch has other issues to deal with than stuff thats been going on and is a part of playing CoD.

Kind of strange to me, the controls arent different, the guns, the people, the bulidings, etc. they all look the same, yet somehow this game is a world different than MW2. I personally feel a difference. The cars are in the era and buildings look good to me. The guns are all accurate for their time frame you just gotta know it. AK47s will be in any game post WWII along with an MP5 or M16 variant of some sorts. AUG is well known. You gotta think that most guns in CoD except for the Desert Eagle are in the game because they were good weapons for certain tasks.

More often than not I feel like Im playing Halo instead of CoD... I've played Reach (Sucks) and this game and yeah two totally different games. It feels like skill is required in this game unlike past FPS with the balance involved.

And also, were they letting a monkey decide the spawn points?? Im not sure if its just me but I have had the same 2 guys that I just killed spawn 15feet behind me sooo many times its not even funny. Sadly the worst spawing I've seen was COD4 because of your reason and I never once spawned behind someone. Atleast in this game they made it fair and let me spawn behind people on occasion.

Treyarch, you could have had something that rivaled CoD4 and its sick amount of Game of the Year awards I think, but your faceplant with the online gameplay takes the wind right out of your sails. Sorry, I will get off my soap box now... lol

I respect your opinions but I think this is probably the best in the series in the form of content and balance but the discrimination towards the PS3 system is the only thing holding it back from being number one (I'm a PS3 guy lol)

Re: the ak74u is chasing away a large portion of the player base

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 03:35:13 GMT

if it makes the TS feel better i've been killed by the AK74u 2663 times with the Famas at 2217 lol

I do agree because of one reason. it does the same amount of damage as an MP5K but has a useful grip. But mostly my personal belief is that Rapid Fire and Grip should not be mixed because you should suffer the penalty of added recoil no matter what as its the only way to improve Damage Per Second. Thus I think all SMGs not just the AK74u should be patched even the damn Skorpion even tho no one uses it. it would improve player moral and keep them interested as I agree to that i'm seeing too many people with most of their kills as the A74u which is a problem for the developers cuz they spent many hours on these weapons just for about 20% to actually try them all out. thats why i use several guns.

Re: Gun Emblems/Clans and Reticles Patched? (360)

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 03:09:38 GMT

i can understand where your coming from... it may also be your connection tho cuz i use to have lag every game and if i was host i WAS booted in the beginning of the game (MW2) but when i switched to fios I never lag and have only lagged once one Black Ops to where the game was messed up. Only a really bad host can make me lag and i find games pretty quick...

My issue is constant host migration and alot of times it not finding a good host even tho when i host with fios the game works like magic for the players. So my question would be whats so hard about finding which player has the better connection and having them host?

Imo the game isn't bad because the gameplay is great and i've not noticed hit detection problems. I think that the some features need to be tweaked but it doesn't ruin the game like say a OMA, Danger Close, Noob Tubing, 5000 miles knife range (the knife which i still haven't seen). but your points i think treyarch should consider cuz every gamers opinion is important. I just think they made a great cod that is one of the best since it feels balanced yet the connections need to be fixed up a bit
