COD:Black Ops
 

Im looking forward to it, historical inaccuracy and all, you have many guns you dont get to see in video games. Ill love bringing a colt pyton online (even if it has the snubnose be more accurate than the 4 inch, or an acog on it) and a walther mpl, which ive always found cool, an ithaca 37, sweet, and the list goes on. Who else is lookign forward to it? And, no nukes for people to try and boost to by cheating

Torn between this and Dead Rising 2.

Fallout: New Vegas FTW!

got Fallout and COD on preorder

I have Fallout SPECIAL EDITION on preorder

I've got BO on preorder, although I wish I had found out about the zombie maps thing before I did preorder. I'm probably going to be playing Halo Reach exclusively until BO comes out.

Same. What do you think youll use online based on weapons for Black ops? I was always a m16, iron sights m203 guy and will go with the pyhton, 1911 or cz.

m16, m1911

I like how it isnt level based on guns, you unlock with currency you earn, so you can skip stupid guns and buy according to what you like.

The AUG, SPAS-12, 1911, M16, AKs, FAMAS. MP5K, Skorpin, Uzi, M14, FAL, SVD, Walther WA2000, M60.

I think that's a significant amount of guns we HAVE seen over the passed few years.

Havent seen in games myself:

python
cz75
asp

spectre
pm63
walther mpl
ots 2

ks23
hi standard bullpup shotgun

china lake launcher
flash

Rare in games:

makarov, ithaca,

So, yeah it has some of your steroetypes but enough new stuff too.

The Python was in Vice City, the CZ75 was in GTA IV, the Spectre was in Goldeneye.

So we havent seen them in a while,i like the new or not commonly used weapons. A cz 75 is a refreshing break from the beretta.

I decided to go Medal of Honor. Despite the fuck ups they've made in it (12 round mags for the M9, full auto A4, etc.), it has ONE THING that rapes Call of Duty: Fire selectors!

And the Makarov was in MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, and Ghost Recon/expansions.

The makarov was only playable in MGS4, besides, im a 360 gamer, and have only played GRAW, not the older ones.

If you ever get the chance, you should definitely give the original Ghost Recon and its expansions a try. They're really great games.

You played GRAW? That game is horrible

I played GRAW2 and loved it. Even with the overabundance of M2 positions, Sniper town, and the last couple missions that were insane(who drops into combat via helicopter 300 yards from three M2s and an RPG launcher?) I enjoyed it.

Bought it used, for cheap, and it was fun. Besides, ar eyou saying youve played nothing but good games and never played one that pissed you off?

As to COD, you have to admit theres cool less common weapons in it.

An ASP is in the game? Sweet

and the starting pistol in all three S.T.A.L.K.E.R games

yeah, never been a PC gamer

The basic "pump shotgun" in GTA Vice City and San Andreas was based on the Ithaca 37 and the Walther MPL was in No One Lives Forever as well.

Not to mention ArmA and ArmA II.

I cant wait to hear what guns people are going to bitch about now. Like the p90 and m203 in MW. I will gladly continue using my m203 to eliminate campers, regardless of complaints against the m203. I was once booted from a free for all for using a m203, saying its unfair. Adapt and overcome, people, i had a burst fire rifle and iron sights in close quarters. Countersniped with the thing too.

That's always the stigma of gaming. Sure I DO get pissed so much when I get sniped by campers or grenade launchers always hitting me in the right spot like they were waiting for me, but I do the same all the time. This like any other game is competitive. There's no such thing as fair play. There is a thing call sportsmanship where if you win, don't brag about it, that just makes you look like a dick, but if you are good at playing, congrats, but complaining about how others keep on kicking your ass because they use "cheap tactics" that are encouraged to do or is SOP in real life, well then you are just a sore loser.

As the line goes "It's a legitimate strategy"

What pissed me off were the flares, if i played free for all (one of my favorite modes) tere was always players with their friends spawning in a safe place to boost to a nuke.

Ive accepted that whatever gun you use people will call you a noob, noob tuber, shotgun noob, sniper noob, tac knife noob, it goes on and on, so i just run around blowing people away for fun.

Play Far Cry 2; blow everyone's head off with an FAL

FAL is in black ops, unfortunately low rate of fire and not so igh power (2-3 shots is not a big improvement over 3-5) make it kinda lame.

But if you play Far Cry 2, nop one ever bitches about anything (except, oddly enough, for Canadians)

At first, I questioned getting it after seeing how much the multiplayer was like Modern Warfare 2, but now after seeing the newer videos with all the new stuff such as wager matches, and the high level of customization with the weapons, I think I might just get it as long as it dosen't have too much of the crap Modern Warfare 2 had. But right now, I'm busy with Halo: Reach.

I've spent the last half hour trying to get the If They Came to Hear Me Beg achievement.

I think "realism" and fair play in gaming is mutually exclusive. Like how every single WWII FPS has depowered the M1 Garand, due to balance. But in real life, that was the beauty of it, it fired a full powered round like a K98K, but it did it semiautomatically. It WAS a huge advantage, and it was quite unfair. So are night vision, smart munitions, and air strikes. That's why there can only be so much realism in games like BO. It can be realistic or it can be fair, but it can't be both.

Medal of honor is so balanced its funny, most of the taliban is carrying ancient crap but these guys are shown with new red dots, new russian weapons, like every single one has an mp433. In reality a tokarev is considered a status symbol.

Wasn't being a suicide bomber a class option in Desert Combat?

No idea. Didnt play it.

Believe me, I couldn't agree more. I use 203s to deal with anyone who hides in a small room or something, yet it's supposedly "cheap" and "unfair" to do so. What else am I supposed to do, run in with guns blazing and let them kill me?

Besides, I've nailed other players square in the face, purposely, from half a map away on multiple occasions in both CoD4 and MW2 with grenade launchers. And considering you can't actually aim them (sorry, but that on-screen "reticle" does NOT count), I'd say that makes me pretty damn good with them.

People who whine about others utilizing a valid aspect of the game need to sack up and learn how to play.

I remember when I played America's Army, a lot of servers had a rule against using M203's in the first 5 minutes of play. Unbe-fucking-lievable.

Theres a pretty vocal subculture of COD that says what guns and perks are acceptable and whats for "noobs."

If its in the game, use it.
Ive only been booted once for "noob toobing."

Just dont camp spawn points or boost to nukes.

I got booted on Far Cry 2 because I was kicking this 3 man team's ass by myself

most people just rage quit, surprised they bothered to kick you off.
