kurtsimonw Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Tactical Insertions are disabled on FFA modes. Boosting is going to be very difficult to do. I've caught a few people doing it on Domination, but then you can see where all your team is, so if someone's sitting in a far corner of the map on their own, you just go and have a look and report them. You also can cancel your tac insert during the kill came, so if someone sees you plant it, kills you, then waits to kill again when you respawn, they can't. No Join Session In Progress for Wager Matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 They should just bring back the Cage Match and be done with it. I dont mind people boosting for camos and the like, if you want to spend your time playing the game doing headshots on your mate rather than you know, actually playing the game then go for it. In a Cage Match at least boosters dont **** it up for everybody else by dropping Pave Lows and AC-130s into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I agree to an extent, but it's more the principle on the part of Treyarch. They don't want to accept boosting as part of the game, and they shouldn't have to. I saw a great video on YouTube about tac inserts/boosting, he was talking about how on the regular FFA modes, they've put the Join Session In Progress back into the game, almost to encourage boosters and the noises from Treyarch suggest they're trying to really stamp it out. Theatre mode is a great addition where nobody can hide what they're doing. I'd rather play FFA and get boosters banned from Black Ops than know they're ruining the game, even if it is in a Cage Match against a friend. Boosting = ban from Black Ops, modding = ban from XBOX Live. I'd also hope there would be a punishment, possibly a ban from Black Ops, if people repeatedly accuse others of boosting/modding, when they clearly aren't.

wiggyrichard Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 There really really doesnt seem to be the buzz about this game as there was with MW2! Is this a sign of what to expect? Any news on Zombies? Confirmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted September 28, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2010 The MW's always have more buzz about them, they always seem to bring something completely new. Where was WAW and BO are just a bit of a rehash of MW's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any news on Zombies? Confirmed? I'm pretty excited about the game but just know I'm going to barley get to play it (maybe the same scenario as you) which I'm a bit gutted about.

Rino8 Posted September 28, 2010 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2010 The lack of hype is for a few reasons: It's Treyarch, besides zombies almost everybody went back over to CoD4 within 3 month of that games release. Modern Warfare 2 dissapointed a lot of people, and I can't see Black Ops release date sales being anything like MW2's because MW2 has probably put a lot of people off the CoD series. (I'm not expecting it to flop, just not go record breakingly stupid like MW2) The style of game its self is probably losing its appeal too, I might be wrong on this but I think a lot of people are growing tired of the whole series.

The_Rev Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 You wont see an advertising campaign for at least another month, maybe another six weeks. Black Ops will be the best selling game of 2010 by a mile. As for Zombies? Of course they will be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 It's pre-orders were outpacing MW2 so it's bound to sell a shit load. I just hope it's new zombies rather than just the upgraded WaW maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope it's new zombies rather than just the upgraded WaW maps. I can see them recycling old maps in DLC. Zombies maps will sell like hotcakes. They will be selling them for 1200 points with a "free" classic map no doubt. The stuff on the disc will be new, most of the DLC will be new, but it will be padded out with the old maps to make a higher price seem like a better value proposition.

wiggyrichard Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 So WTF is the difference between all the packs you can buy? I understand there is a normal game, hardened and prestige edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 29, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2010 Normal edition: Just the game like any other game Hardened: Steelbook case, Avatar goodies, some co-op maps, and a medal. Prestige: As the above but with a little RC car that has a camera and mic that transmit back to the radio control unit. ...the latter 2 charging you a considerable premium.

wiggyrichard Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 so are they going to be modern weapons etc. or old nazi ones like WaW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 29, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2010 It'll be Cold War era weapons. A lot will be recognisable from Modern Warfare 2. In fact, heres the full list of whats currently believed to be available in game. Assault Rifles * M16 * Enfield * M14 * FAMAS * Galil * AUG * FAL * AK-47 * Commando * G11 Submachine Guns * MP5K * MAC-11 * AK-74u * Skorpion * Uzi * Spectre M4 * MPL * PM-63 * OTs-02 Kiparis Light Machine Guns * RPK * M60 * HK21 * Stoner 63 Sniper Rifles * L96A1 * Dragunov * WA2000 Shotguns * SPAS * KS-23 * Stakeout * HS-10 * Olympia Pistols * M1911 * Python * Makarov * ASP * CZ75 Launchers * RPG-7 * China Lake * M72 LAW Other * Crossbow * Ballistic Knife link Most modern weapons are from Cold War development so not surprising that a lot of the weapons are ones you'd recognise from COD4 or MW2. The Assault Rifle designated the Commando appears to just be an M4 so no entirely sure why it's got a different name. I'm surprised they didn't put in a gimmick like one of the coolest Cold War weapons, the APS Amphibious Assault Rifle, a gun specifically designed to be fired underwater.
