Anybody gotten a shipped status on their Amazon order yet?! Also, I need my 200 pts to buy a digital live code. Here's to hoping the points come through as quickly as they claim they will.

11/8/2010 1:18:38 PM

will the points work on them? thought it was only workable on actual video games.

11/8/2010 1:32:38 PM

well it says the "video game store". xbl subscriptions are definitely in the video game store.

New set has been acquired.

11/8/2010 2:19:44 PM

haha same happened to my bluetooth. although i had the playstation brand one and it kept hurting my ears. definately buying a better crafted one today for my gaming marathon to begin tomorrow.

I have divided up the 360 group into tiers, to help people differentiate the few dozen names on this list.

When looking for people to play with, defer to the highest tier, then work your way down.

Tier 1 - The Original Warriors

Slave Famous - Squadoosh
TreeTwista10 - Akwatic


Tier 2 - The Seasoned Veterans

Fuck your class system. You aren't even that good.



Shadow, Bean and Zahnenaut are probably the best and play most often. Sic sometimes too.
HeyNow, Dweedle and myself normally fill in somewhere in the middle.

That's racist!

11/8/2010 2:36:32 PM

Dude I'm seeing went to some CoD party the other night and Metallica was playing. I just came in here to name drop and also because I want to get in on this whole online gaming shit. kkthx

11/8/2010 2:39:04 PM

Seniority =/= Talent

11/8/2010 2:39:12 PM

mytwocents, let us know how the Wii version of Black Ops is.

11/8/2010 2:40:18 PM

Tree and I have been playing this game since most of you were in diapers. Respect your forefathers or face the consequences.

I'd better be up there in that top third, you sumbitches.

11/8/2010 2:42:23 PM

Only people who played both Modern Warfare 1 and 2 belong in the uppermost tier. The rest of you can join us in spirit, but you won't demand that respect that Tree and I get the moment we appear in a lobby.

11/8/2010 2:43:41 PM

You make it sound like you and Tree are husband and wife...

11/8/2010 2:45:09 PM

More like Don and Consigliere

11/8/2010 2:47:55 PM

LOLOL....if only I knew how I came up with my username thingy.....

11/8/2010 2:50:04 PM

sweet, my clan is getting two servers, maybe a third private server.

11/8/2010 2:54:46 PM

^^ It's because you are an awesome computer hax0r

11/8/2010 2:57:24 PM

I'm looking forward to the non-hacking n00bs in this game, at least for the first few days before exploits are found.

Fuck MW2

11/8/2010 2:59:37 PM

I am ok with my place in the caste system. Although wahoowa and mildew may not feel so great for being left off completely

I may be a "seasoned vet" but I'll be feeling like a noob tomorrow...haven't played CoD in months

11/8/2010 3:33:53 PM

hooray, my Amazon.com order has shipped!

11/8/2010 3:37:31 PM

all FPS plays similar to me. Just a matter of figuring out the maps, weapons and perks combination to fit your tactics and fighting styles. Then again I'm asian so games come to me naturally.

Also, a number of my friends have said that the multi-player doesn't unlock till 10am tomorrow. Killing the idea of getting a midnight copy to play online first. Donno if this is true, but steam says 19 hours from now... putting it around 10-11am EST.

11/8/2010 3:41:35 PM

I may be a "seasoned vet" but I'll be feeling like a noob tomorrow at 12:30 am...haven't played CoD in months

people are already playing it online on consoles.

11/8/2010 4:43:36 PM

consoles != PC...

11/8/2010 4:53:08 PM

the console multiplayer better work at midnight tonight, or else I'm going to be royally pissed.

11/8/2010 4:56:34 PM

ill be royally surprised if they work at midnight

11/8/2010 5:23:28 PM

SHIPPED!

11/8/2010 5:31:54 PM

Yeah if you get the game at midnight, I'd advise you to not get your hopes up about playing online matches tonight.

You might have to settle for just fucking around in the single player campaign or getting the hang of things in offline multiplayer.

Or do like I do, and just play Fallout/Madden/NBA tonight, and pick up Black Ops after work tomorrow.

11/8/2010 5:33:14 PM

I'm getting my fix with BF:BC2 right meow.

"PC GAMERS "STABBED" BY PUBLISHER ACTIVISION ESTATIC FANS of Activision's highly popular Call of Duty video game series are furious today as they discovered they will have to wait as late as 16 HOURS after the actual release date to play the game. The game, Call of Duty Black Ops has been dubbed the best game of 2010 by all the popular gaming review websites - but PC gamers around the world discovered today that even though they possess a physical disc version of the game, the software included on the disc will force the hyped up gamers to wait as late as 4PM GMT AFTER THE RELEASE TIME to play the game, that's 16 HOURS later than they had originally thought, and 16 hours later than console gamers. We spoke to one of the gamers; "It's awful. Yet again they are stabbing PC gamers in the back. Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers have bagged the game as early as Saturday due to early deliveries of pre-orders and are playing it as we speak, but here, PC gamers have to sit around and wait." img513.imageshack.us/img513/2539/bo2v.png Outrage... message displayed to dismayed gamers The launch date issue has caused carnage throughout the United Kingdom and the rest of the world today as thousands of workers today booked an unpaid holiday to play the game, and although there was no guarantee that the game would arrive one day early in the post, we can reveal that this was in fact the case across the country, only to be over shadowed by the error message on their computer screens stating that, as the game hadn't been officially released yet, they could not play the game. This is not the first time PC gamers have been stabbed in the back by wealthy publisher ACTIVISION - last year the previous title Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2 doomed PC gamers by revealing third party modifications that "opened up an entirely new world of gameplay" would be BANNED, along with dedicated servers, which allow gamers to take control of their own room within the game and kick out players that were being abusive. This was replaced by a system called IWNet that has been called "shambolic" and "broken" by some of the world's top PC gamers. IWNet ran off Steam, a popular online gaming website that offers virtual downloads as opposed to physical discs, and has platforms for group discussions and in-game events. Steam is ultimately responsible for this public outcry as the game can only be played through its desktop application, and therefore the game can only be activated when the website decides. We have reached out to publisher ACTIVISION, developer TREYARCH and retailer STEAM for a comment to clarify the situation however they have declined. Meanwhile, the outcry continues."

take a sick or vacay day like the rest of the world... Just make sure you take the right day off.

11/8/2010 6:02:54 PM

Lol I think im finally burning out as a PC gamer, if there's a great sale I might finally make the switch either this or the next generation.

I'll probably get Black Ops, but I'm not nearly as eager to drop $60 on any game these days.

11/8/2010 6:23:46 PM

I didn't preorder b/c I really don't have time to play during the week.

What's the chance this will still be on store shelves this weekend?
