Intended for Black Ops thread? I seriously doubt there'll be dedicated servers on the consoles. If they improve the host migration to work properly though it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Hmm sounds pretty good then. I've never really considered Halo before as CoD was providing all my FPS needs, but I've played CoD4 to death and Black ops is looking as bad as MW2. I heard Reach was a prequel though? I imagine I'd understand the references or whatever better if I had played all 3, but frankly I'm unwilling to put the money or time into doing that.

There should be either Stopping Power and Juggernaught or one of the two, because otherwise it upsets the balance of the other red perks, e.g. if there was no SP in MW2 everyone would be using either Hardline or Cold Blooded.

Lol my list will probably include a few random ass movie games from when I was a kid, probably the kind of games that got like 3/10 when they were released. I played a lot of Crash Nitro Kart, but never CTR, also never played any PS1 Tekkens but plenty of Tekken 4. Man that game had some strange stuff on it like the panda. First list with no Nintendo games I think lol.

I never bother with a dedicated AA class on CoD4, I just use the mounted guns. With only 5 slots I'm not wasting one just for Copters.

I'd just wait till the beta really. Unless they don't have one, in which case the game will probably automatically fail. I doubt they'll keep TIs because they are never used legitimately.

People were doing that stuff for MW2, this guy had printed out the box art and inserted it over a GoW2 box, without even taking out the GoW2 box art which you could see in the corner. Ok, I've never played Halo before. Ever. So tell me A. Why its so massively popular ? I hope its not relying on the kind of fanboyism that keeps MW2 up as the top XBL game. And what does this game do that Halo 3 didn't apart from these armour powers or whatever. B. How does matchmaking work online ? I.E. CoD crappy connections or proper servers. And do Bungie actually fix stuff like balance issues? C. How steep is the learning curve for a former CoD player ? (A pretty good one though I say it myself) Cos CoD Black ops looks like it might be a fail similar to MW2 and I need a new online FPS to sink my time in, as CoD4s starting to die in terms of player numbers.

The game will probably succeed or fail based on the maps, because MW2's were terrible.

Nah the free PSN will be fine, PS plus basically just gives you discounts and free stuff every month or so. Its purely optional and isn't going to replace free PSN at all.

Meh theres not much to talk about without new information.

AK47 w/no attachment, Bandolier, Stopping Power and Deep Impact is pretty much my go to beasting class.

Pretty legitimate criticism actually. I think he means that theres no cross game chat, because I'm pretty sure theres a private chat function somewhere.

Mammoth for an 11 kill streak.

All those setups look pretty damn bad to me.

A CoD game with muskets and bayonets sounds really cool until you remember it takes about 30 seconds to reload. And there would probably be some stupid killstreaks like hot air baloons dropping bombs or something, knowing Activision.

Actually there are those green faces on the WA2000 and Barret 50.cal which are a similar thing.

I was playing Forza 3 last night and this guy had a pretty amazing car covered in MW2 decals, which looked exactly like the ones on the trailers and stuff.

If the Stinger hits a building near to it you can do that, so its not total BS.

I always preffered Zoo Tycoon personally. I absolutely loved the Dinosaur expansion.

The character customisation is good, but if the core gameplay is as bad as MW2 then it means nothing.

http://www.game.co.uk/Xbox360/Shooter/First-Person/~r350907/Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops-Limited-Prestige-Edition/ I lol'ed.

Lol yeah. When I first played I put a sight on a sniper or something and the sight was just solid white.

Better graphics than the Wii? Pretty sure Sony said the same thing about the PSP being as powerful as the PS2 or something. That turned out to be BS and this statement probably will be as well. The reason I wouldn't buy this straight away is that the DS has gone through so many hardware revisions that there would probably be a "3DS slim" or something out within 18 months.

You don't need Iron Lungs. 3 x Special is generally just a waste, with M4 I'd take bandolier. AK74u go with SP rather than DT, especially as you have a silencer, which worsens the damage at range, as well as the hipfiring if you didn't know that. I tend to just go with the iron sights. If you're not going to use silenced MP5 then use the red dot, the sights are fine but pretty bad at long range so you might as well have the red dot. I find using 3 x Frag pretty low personally, I'd use bandolier. Also for the AK because you're using the noobtube and no bandolier use SP because you'll run out of ammo too fast with DT. I have a USP silenced on every class, but the pistols just personal choice really, though M9 is probably the worst. Hmm yeah why don't you take RPGs with that and blow up you're own team at the start of HC S&D. Pretty much the only way you can be more of an [wagon]. I like how its possible to debate on CoD4 classes, for MW2 OMA/DC w/tube just beats all. Same with WaW's Jugg + MP40.

Obvious troll is obvious. I think theres problems specific to MW2 that drag it down, like Commando, OMA, ACR, HBS bad maps etc. Even though they appear to have kept the mentality of customisable killstreaks and such, a MW2 without the problems like Commando would actually be pretty decent, as long as theres balance to the guns. If they eliminate the stuff that pretty much everybody hates like Commando and HBS then it should be pretty good, I can understand why they've left customisable killstreaks because there are mixed views on that, but if they take out the stuff thats undeniably broken like OMA/DC it should be pretty good.
