Call of Duty: Black Ops

[DTro]

The great thing about our group is that we can have a sense of humor about it. This team we played was like no other and I could really care less how many times I die, I still had fun.

I guess we could all buy a PS3 and have a cakewalk every game. LOL

I'd take two weeks off from playing and then quit.

Wow. You guys ran into a buzzsaw!

[pureinsanity]

If you reset the Xbox, you should be-able to come in fresh and with an unused gamer tag get a right out of the gate 30day free gold trial to start you off and an introductory 12month Gold at the cheapest level.

Any instructions on how to do that?

also what is the difference between gold and silver ect ect?

[zamboni]

I created a new account for this game, I will send you PS3 guys friend invites. I CAN'T post the name on here- the mods will ban me.

This is a video on how to clear the cache, but if you look right before he hits clicks X-XL-RB-X-X, you will select format. This will clear and reformat your Xbox's hardrive to out of the box new:

Gold is the only option that allows you to play mutiplayer on Live.

Yep when you prestige there are prestige lobby's for those who have. I have found these lobbies a little more tame.

[JP Z]

So this means I would actually want to Prestige???? Maybe not, Heck I didn't play enough on either system to prestige in MW2 last year. I guess it is ONLY level 50.

[JP Z]

PI,

Check meritline for your XBOX360 adaptor they have them new for $50 and an FYI for the Wii gamers they have great deals occasionally for nunchucks and controllers.

I am still trying to figure that out. I will give BO this, there is more to prestiging than in MW2 than just a new symbol. The prestige only lobby's (for now) are kind of cool. No screaming kids and some cool talk. I hooked up with some very down to earth guys from Liverpool/Bootle, England. The added class position(s) are nice. I never did go past prestige level 3 on MW2 so I never got into the things you unlocked at higher levels.

I thought there was a prestige map to be unlocked, but it might just be the prestige zombies map. I had also heard the classified guns change with prestiging, but have not found anything yet. The gun run down info available on the net does not seem to say anything. After all it is just a game. Never a new car or something like that on the next level.

Down side is there are some shannagins going on. Like clock work and of course, the hacking is starting. Prestige level 13 people are starting to show up (level you get custom color clan tag). You check them out and they have maybe 2 days total play time. No way anyone could get their that quick. I called a couple out on it and they just back out of the game. I could see if they had gotten a demo/promo and have been playing prior, but a total of 2 days game play IMO can only get someone who a very good and rotates to pick up all the bonus to PL 3 or 4. I also feel they are trying to crush the lg switchers and when funky things are seem during a match, it boots the match. On the downside I feel some are exploiting this to their advantage. If those who have figured it out, they wait even till the kill cam and do what ever to wipe the match. One less loss and bad stats on their record. I picked up on this while playing 5-6 matches with about the same lobby full of gamers. When the opposing team (compiled of 80% in a party) would start to get crushed, boom! The lost connection would come up and all the players would be back in the lobby. If they were winning, the match would end to allow the win.

Was looking around on-line for any Prestige extra map info and did not find anything yet, but found this:

I guess the kid who came up with the paper clip mod grew up. He is now 15 and is blueprinting to spec space aged Xbox controllers.

The cheating is alot worse on xbox.

[DTro]

I FINALLY got my Hardline Pro perk last night. I tell ya what, when you are not playing with friends its like trying to pull teeth trying to give away a Care Package (need to share 10 with a teammate).

Either

1. Nobody is listening and they don't want to steal it.

2. They are listening and don't care.

3. They don't want to waste a couple of seconds to pick up a crate of ammo for me.

I bet I had to drop 30 care packages in order to share just 10. It was frustrating for sure.

The good news is that now I have it.

oh BTW, that G11 is kind of a beast.

Some times your hot.. sometimes your....... NOT

Don't worry bro, it probably won't ever happen again. lol, it was still fun and that team was tough, I think we played three matches with them? Why the heck did we stick around so long lol. It was funny when I popped on Friday night, Dtro was calling me Netflix boy for skipping out on the Thursday Night Throwdown! I got a good laugh out of that one, and to top it off they accused me of watching The Notebook, .

Yep, we have a good crew that gets together and plays, I always have a good time and it's fun listening to the guys all hopped up on malt liquor/energy drink....lol

[DTro]

What was it last night...Sleepless in Seattle?

[Shack]

LOL that explains the recent bounty of unclaimed care packages just sitting in the middle of the cluster of the team I am on.

Ain't NO shame in my game with a twist of Don't Mind if I do. . I will watch over it and after 3 or 4 teammates run by I will saying Care Package going once, twice, gone! I figured it had just been people who were booting or dropped after calling in their care package. Usually there is one guy watching over the CP but figured he was doing the same as I was. I am sure he is the owner watching over it so it does not go to the other team.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I have been trying my tail off all day yesterday to get the 7 care packs.. best I did was only 6.. had a couple games with 5.

[Jim Uran]

What was it last night...Sleepless in Seattle?

Brooklyn's finest... kind of a good movie. I'll be on tonight with this dang blizzard coming through there won't be anything else to do, unless Netflix suddenly starts offering When Harry Met Sally,

And Deits, I have a hard time putting a string of kills together too, the best I can pull of is 5 or 6 and I get nervous and get killed, lol.

[pureinsanity]

Larry I know you might feel bad about your 0 - 34.... I know it seems almost impossible to get that score. However, after seeing your score, and then your teammates scores... you have nothing top be ashamed about. You all got a straight up Whoopin!

[pureinsanity]

The newest boosting ive seen is people who have the hardline pro perk on. They the team finds a nice little corner and drops a care package for that person to roll over to something better.

At one point I RPG'd the whole team on grid hiding out in a corner rolling over 4 care packages. Attack helicopter after attack helicopter. I hope the make it so you can only roll over your own care packages soon.

[DTro]

DD, you don't need 7 Care Packs, you just need 7 killstreaks in one game. The simplest way to do that:

Use hardline and claymores and set your killstreak to either spyplane or R/C car. When you spawn, find a doorway, lay your claymore and go camp somewhere to get a kill. Usually your claymore will get the other kill in the meantime. There is one killstreak done (only need 2 with hardline equipped). Go run around and die. Rinse/Repeat 6 more times.

Now the 7 kills without dying challenge is a little harder, but I actually found sharing the 10 care packages the hardest of all. Not only do you have to earn the care packs, but also coordinate the sharing. Plus I don't think you can just leave it there and hope for someone to pick it up, if you go and die I don't think it counts.

[pureinsanity]

DD, use decoys too with your claymores.

Find a room claymore the entrance throw your decoy boom. And if you get a spy plane than your rc car, use the rc car and blow it up right where you are. it will kill you and let you start all over again.

A little birdie told me that there might be another Catfish dude jumping into the XBox online gaming world, courtesy of Chef’s console above.

Hey PI, there is a wireless adapter on The List for $40, which you could probably get for 30.

[DTro]

How is rolling someone else's care package boosting? You only get to roll it once. If you roll a spy plane, you could end up with ammo.

I sent out emails already. Even contacted people selling packages trying to get them to split the wifi up.

Hardline pro always rolls it up. Never down.

These people all had hardline and only one of them was rolling the packages. They were all dropping their care packages to the one guy and than running away. this guy had 3 choppers go up in a matter of 2 mins it seemed.

I came across him and 2 guys dropping packages. I RPG'd them and before I could even get one of the packages they were back and shot me. They knew what they were doing. To me its no different than nuke boosting or care package glitching.

After that round and them talking about doing it in the next lobby I left and went into a new lobby where no one was doing it.
