xbox

host powering down his xbox will cause connection lost
host going through the menu to back out of the game will migrate hosts

This game seems to have a large number of 'turned corner' kills. I will successfully evade a shooter around a hard surface, like a rock, and will be killed. When you watch the replay, it doesnt show the turn.

11/17/2010 10:46:55 AM

That has been around in all versions of CoD... You get around a hard/inpenetrable corner and somehow a final bullet seems to bend around it and kill you. On your screen it very clearly shows that they did not hit you, but the kill-cam shows it differently.

just the lag that's present in all types of online games...sad but true.

11/17/2010 10:52:30 AM

this is going to be my new 74u loadout and i'm going to stop halo jumping since it doesn't help here

My class:

FAL with Site
-nothing else matters
-SPITF!

11/17/2010 11:29:26 AM

I love the FAL. I equip it with extended mag and red dot. I run Warlord Pro, Ninja Pro, and Hadcore pro.

On FFA, I switch to the UZI.

ALTHOUGH, last night I decided to unlock the classified Light machine gun, and holy hell. It is smooth and sweet as hell. It might be my new weapon, although I have to switch to scavenger the way it runs through bullets.

See I can never get the hang of the FAL (or m14) in this game...I guess I can't twitch my finger (insert sexual innuendo here) fast enough to get a decent rate of fire.

Unlocked the Commando and G11 last night...really like the Commando...still out to lunch on the G11...the power is there but the ACOG has alot of wobble...maybe the variable zoom works better.

11/17/2010 11:48:34 AM

I am looking forward to the classified gun also... Will prob run with that once I acquire it

11/17/2010 11:54:40 AM

I too love the ak smg loadout, its funny how it has more stopping power than the aug and i love that weapon, but after 3 rounds it's like shooting peas. I might as well go around with a ballistic knife and have more luck, lol.

I too have noticed a lot of "around the corner" hinkiness in black ops, more so than other COD by a small margin. Although, the tactical feel seems a bit lost compared to MW1, but it never was to be a MW1 game. Which reminds me, I should reload MW1.

11/17/2010 11:58:28 AM

i've played this game a grand total of 2 hours on release day. FML (and my job)

11/17/2010 12:53:23 PM

i'm a whore for the ak74u and i tried the loadout quoted above during my lunch break. it's full of win. ADS is for fags. i'll probably use this exclusively until i get the ak47 or commando.

11/17/2010 1:22:13 PM

I just added every single one of you fucker on Xbox Live. Hit me up and lets play.

iNth is my name.

11/17/2010 3:10:09 PM

Ill be on the PS3 tonight, no mic though.

11/17/2010 3:17:45 PM

^ if i'm on lets join up...i checked your stats you seem to be good at capturing on domination while i just defend flags the whole time

sounds like a good combo

11/17/2010 3:22:42 PM

Lol stalker much?

11/17/2010 5:43:33 PM

PS3 people need to learn to respond to friend requests. I'm mounting up on the upstairs PS3 now, which means no headset.

11/17/2010 7:31:50 PM

Mounting

11/17/2010 7:43:00 PM

its god damn funny when you console players say the word "mounting".

11/17/2010 8:45:02 PM

does anyone else feel like they basically have to unload a whole clip to kill someone?

but the bad guy only shoots me like twice and i die

11/17/2010 8:53:05 PM

yes i do

11/17/2010 9:07:24 PM

yes i do

11/17/2010 9:13:32 PM

Just picked up the AUG, and I must say...a fan I am.

Agreed

11/17/2010 10:05:49 PM

It's all about the weapon. I'm loving the ak74u. Using that class above is awesome, but it's even better with rapid fire instead of grip.

11/17/2010 10:13:55 PM

theres a bunch of dividing by zero bullshit going on!

11/17/2010 11:29:25 PM

I will sometimes get plenty of shots on target and when i watch the killcam it only registers one or sometimes i don't hit them at all

11/18/2010 12:39:28 AM

Welcome to call of duty

What confuses me is when I have that happen with host...

11/18/2010 1:23:03 AM

Tonight I died and watched the killcam to see where they were hiding. They weren't hiding, they were standing right in front of me... only I saw nothing when I was killed.

On an unrelated note, my favorite thing to do now is try to get as many crossbow sticks and hatchet kills as I can in a round. I actually finished first place on my team doing this (which probably says a lot about my team) and had some pretty entertaining kills.

11/18/2010 1:31:10 AM

oh no...

so is activision outsourcing call of duty 8 to sledgehammer (anyone heard of these guys?) ?

check this out - they're hiring to start developing the next one

I've heard of sledgehammer...they're comprable to Treyarch in scale and quality...

11/18/2010 9:31:34 AM

so the online part will suck ass again

11/18/2010 9:40:02 AM

Are there out of map expoits on this game for the 360? I have been on several maps lately, where I am running all around the red dot, and see nothing. I often here gun shots, but dont often get killed. I havent seen a kill cam with anyone outside of the map.

11/18/2010 9:50:13 AM

Yeah, the Stoner63 is pretty much an instant kill weapon. I played about 15 games last night, across FFA and Team Death match, and won about 12 of them. Super smooth. I also had success with the commando, with Ghost.

11/18/2010 9:52:04 AM

^^That's most likely a Decoy grenade. It's simulates gunfire and creates erroneous red dots on your mini-map. The gunfire-ish sound they make is pretty distinctive and after awhile you can recognize it. Usually it's thrown by someone who is perched high up or hidden and they're baiting you so they can pick you off.

11/18/2010 9:55:09 AM

like me

11/18/2010 10:48:38 AM

so what's the consensus? Is this game better than mw2 or is it just refreshing to play something new? Would you still be playing mw2 if they updated maps?

11/18/2010 11:15:51 AM

update killed my multiplayer, can't get online

11/18/2010 11:18:25 AM

I'd still be on modern warfare 2 in a heartbeat if kids played it. Hell I'd even go back to COD4 if kids played it.

11/18/2010 11:27:02 AM

so i guess they got tired of people playing nuketown continuously. got on this morning and after doing nuketown maybe two or three times in a row it said 'unavailable'. i had just started to come around to that level too, oh well.

11/18/2010 11:54:45 AM

it's for the best ... nuketown probably has hosted 90% of the rounds ive played

i dont know the other maps for shit

11/18/2010 12:08:33 PM

i'm back to hating nuketown....if you have a team that doesn't run into the enemy spawn then it is ok but everyone wants to run n gun like a dumbass and fuck up the spawns. nuketown is for people who don't like to play tactically and do not want to think about what they are doing.

i was going 19-1 last night and a guy on my team had a chopper gunner so the host on the other team left, of course the migration failed

makes me wonder why i play this shit

11/18/2010 12:08:46 PM

oooooo it makes me wonder...

11/18/2010 12:09:50 PM

OK so I forwarded all of the ports that it mentioned in the FAQ and I still cannot figure out what to do.

Also tried putting the ps3 in a DMZ and clearing the browser cache and cookies as suggested on activision support. If I can't resolve this in a day I will be returning this game.
