I agree that Treyarch tried to tone down secondary's. I am surprised you haven't been killed by hipfire. I think I ran around on Hanoi and didn't iron site once because of how accurate hip firing is. Test it out in a private match with a friend... it's pretty grosse, even without steady aim.

It could very well just be lag for me, but pistols seem to take a lot more than 3 shots... especially the classified one that you can make full auto. The pythons are awesome... that is my secondary (akimbo) with my run and gun class.


The damage on pistols drops substantially after 10 meters. Switching the pistol to full auto drops its damage to 20 per shot across all ranges (ie if i was standing directly in front of you, you would still need to hit me 5 times to kill me).

The M60's damage drops from 50 (ie a 2-shot kill) to 40 (3 shot kill) at a distance of 25 meters. I have been using it over every ar (haven't unlocked the AK) for objective games. It's amazing how many times the same person will run through the same spot trying to get you back for killing them.....

Good god, Super Robot Wars will now include transformers. Fighting alongside Testsujin 28.

At least they will be cooler than in the Hollywood movies, eh?

wow... remind me to never put auto fire on that damn pistol.... that is TERRIBLE... I've been using that thing pretty much the entire time /facepalm.

For assault rifles, the G11 is disgustingly good, and i also like the m16. If you like the M60, try the stoner 63... that thing is ridiculous, it doesn't start at 50 dmg, just a standard 40 over all distances, but it fire almost twice as fast as the M60.

As far as perks go... Second Chance is amazing considering how situational most tier 3 perks are. Once I achieved the pro version, I lost track of the number of times i would take a domination flag after being shot, dropping into second chance, killing the dude with my pistol, and then waiting, taking the flag, and having my brother revive me.

Just a heads up if you are thinking of prestiging:

you do not carry over money, or perks, or anything like that. If you are going to prestige, spend all your left over money on layers for your emblem, icons for your emblem, and the plate behind your name as all of that does not reset.

Yep! As well as 3 of my friends.

Reminds me of when Driver 3 was released for PSX. Too much stuff going on and massive slowdown followed by a complete lock-up.

even on 360, the framerate for every player in the game plummets everytime someone drops a napalm strike... it's pretty savage.

Game sounds cool as hell, but I'm just now getting into MW2! I still don't understand what people are talking about "money left over while prestiging"! I see no money anywhere! I do not know what you guys mean by this!! I am a total noob to the XBOX, so just curious!

In Black Ops, you don't earn perks + weapons in predetermined orders, you have to "buy" it with ingame cash you earn by preforming well or completing objectives in the game.

I was hoping they would have some insane camo's or facepaint or stuff like that that would cost in the millions for people who have reached max level and have nothing left to spend money on. Kind of like the special helmets and death effects in halo reach.

As of yet....nope. There are wager matches where you can bid in the thousands of CoD points but the reward if you win is...more cod points.

BO's campaign verdict: Interesting plot twist, standard CoD campaign fare otherwise. I absolutely hate infinitely respawning enemy segments; however, once I learned that they only keep respawning in that one part until you blow up some barrels I didn't know I could interact with (because the NPC voices are so damn quiet, despite having messed with audio settings, that I can barely hear them) it was fine. I played on Normal. It was a satisfying experience.

Multiplayer is more broken than I realized...ugh. Why anyone ever uses any gun besides the FAL silenced or AK74u grip is beyond me.

moved my router, got a 5 times shorter phone cord, and a shorter ethernet cord, seems to seriously reduce the instances of the weird lag in black ops (either that or tonight it was just tamer than normal), but i didn't play a game where i got under a kd of 4... was awesome!

I think i want to start a family with the M16 .... it's busted good

On a separate note, did they hotfix some shotguns ranges? Today I was killed by a stakeout several times from twice the distance i've normally seen.

So, my new favorite game is Need for Speed: Burnout. It's very very good, reminded me a lot of NFSHS. Worth playing.

If anybody cares - a TAS of megaman in 12 minutes, including beating three levels in about five seconds.

So, came home after work yesterday, did some chores, and then went to play some Black ops: no xbox live...

So I check the cords, and everything seems fine, and it tells me there is no cord plugged in... and the modem lights indicate that there is no connection. I switch cords, try different ports... nothing. I plug the same cord into my laptop and poof... it works, so the issue is with the connector on my xbox. Now that I think about it, my xbox was moved a bit.

Me: Wife, did you do anything to the xbox?
Wife: Nope
Me: you didn't move it, or bump it, or change the cord?
Wife: Nope
Me: Did you trip over the cord?
Wife: <silence>

So apparently, she decided to connect her laptop via suuuuper long cable to the router... and tangled it in the xbox ethernet cable. When she tripped over the cord, it almost yanked the 360 off the stand via the cable. After some wiggling of the cord, it connects...

My question: Does anyone use the usb wireless adapter for the 360? Is it any good, and does it specifically work as good as wired for online gaming? I have another 2 years left on my xbox warranty, but I don't want to not play black ops for the next 4-6 weeks it takes to get fixed, and fall worlds behind my younger brother.

Any info would be awesome thanks!

I use the wireless adapter. Had a few issues with it with regards to connecting to xboxlive parties and NCAA games and Halo parties. Don't know what the issue is, but think it's the internet, not the adapter. Reset it and it's fine. I prefer ethernet cord.

I was disappointed with fallout 3 and NV was more of the same.

Bethesda's RPGs have become progressively worse since Morrowind, my favorite RPG of all time. I wish they'd return to that formula: Simple yet deep game, with a massive world, intertwining faction storylines, a house you can buy and build up by completing quests, and a grand storyline that you feel like more than a cursory part of. I played morrowind for 350+ hours; oblivion, around 60, and F3 around 30. I want more of what made Morrowind good.

To be fair, Bioware also took out my favorite part of Mass Effect (planet landing and exploration) for ME 2, and I dislike KoTOR/KoTOR2 due to being too linear and repetitive. Because I hold out hope that bethesda will make me a new Morrowind, I find myself more excited for Elder Scrolls V than ME3 or a new Fallout.

Bethesda has a project I'm much more interested than either of these series, though- Brink. I can't wait to try free roaming FPS goodness!
