I could care less if I'm winning or losing, KDR, prestige, or who is on my team. I just play to kill time until I can cast out a bullhead.

Heck, on TDM parts of Ground War the past few nights I've been strictly using the Crossbow. Never going to have a good ratio or win very often doing that, but that "thoonk" sound is very satisfying.

I suck at the game anyway. But I agree! Just a way to kill time. I couldnt even tell you my KDR, never looked. I have days I will just run a stab people, or just use the crossbow, or axe. Just depends on the mood I am in. I dont care if I get killed 20 times, and kill 10, there is just something about seeing an arrow stick into someone, and seeing them blow up. Or stabbing someone that least expects it. I know I hate it when it happens to me, thats why I like to do it to others laugh

I am the same way! You should add a tomahawk to your arsenal. It sucks not having a grenade, but it sure is fun having that whirling noise as you lob it through the air! getting a tomahawk kill is more satisfying than a grenade kill. I wonder if you can get a double kill with the cross bow? Like shoot an arrow and it sticks to two people? THAT would be awesome. two guys stuck together haha

The discussion over the connection issues that Call of Duty: Black Ops is having on the PS3 has gotten a lot more heated, after a customer service representative told a customer that Activision had the right to shut down the PSN servers. Some have taken this comment as a threat, but Activision's Dan Amrich has been quick to say that it was nothing more than a simple statement of fact, and certainly isn't an indication of the publisher's future plans.

Activision's senior support representative, Dov Carson, told Canadian blogger Jason Koblovsky that shutting down the servers might be a viable solution to the connection problems. Carson made this comment in response to Kablovsky's suggestion that the problems with Black Ops could represent a violation of Canadian law, at the end of a protracted discussion with Activision, in which Koblovsky was less than shy about voicing his frustration, as well as drawing attention to the fact others were experiencing similar - or worse - problems.

Koblovsky made his original complaint on December 20th. He wanted to know when the connectivity issues on the PS3 would be fixed, and what kind of testing had gone on at Treyarch with regard to Black Ops PS3 multiplayer. He said that he could provide ample proof that it was a widespread issue, and that in some cases the problems had even caused hardware failures. He also threatened to contact local consumer groups, as well as the Canadian government if he didn't get an answer by December 24th. Koblovsky decided not to wait on that final point, however, and contacted the Canadian Minister of Industry about the problem. He explained the situation, and asked that his office get in touch with Activision with a view to informing customers about the issues, or possibly even calling for a recall.

After a break in communication that lasted around three weeks, Carson came back to Koblovsky. He disputed Koblovsky's suggestion that the problem was widespread, and offered some technical advice that could potentially alleviate Koblovsky's problems. Koblovsky responded, linking to a multitude of posts from the Call of Duty forums from people who were having problems and suggesting that Activision may have broken Canadian trade and advertising laws.

The comment that got Koblovsky so worked up was:

Well I have nothing else to offer and I too follow forums and have many friends who play and enjoy the game for all of its features. As an avid gamer, I would also disagree with any legalities involving a single aspect of a game as online experience may change at any time. The publishers have the right to shut down the servers for their game at any time as well which based on the number of reported posts from users may be a viable solution over the free PSN.

n any event, if you would like to send your game disc into us, we can either;

a) Exchange for a sealed (unopened) copy of the game that you can take back to the retailer

B) Swap for another platform

c) Exchange for another Activision title of equal or lesser value.

These are the options that we are able to offer to you as a one time courtesy.

Let us know how you would like to proceed.

Koblovsky took this to mean that PS3 Black Ops players should keep their mouths shut, or risk having the multiplayer taken away completely, but Activision's Dan Amrich said that this wan't the case. In a conversation on Twitter, Amrich said that he was sorry if Koblovsky felt like he was being threatened, but that there wasn't any malice in the statement, nor was it an indication of something that Activision had planned. Amrich also assuaged the fears of others, saying that a private conversation had been misinterpreted, and then made public.

For what it's worth, I don't think that Carson's statement was intended to be threatening; I think it was a rebuttal to the idea that Activision was breaking the law. Still, it seems like an odd thing to have said, and it's not hard to imagine why someone might have taken it badly.

Man domination has been pretty bad for me lately. I like playing it, but the problem is that you never know what you're going to get as far as team balances. Most of the time the rest of my team is just out and about thinking it is team deathmatch and not doing a darn thing.

Yep, that's always annoying. Makes you wonder what the point is if nobody is going to play the game. They should give more rewards for actually achieving the goals or something.

All the games have their quirks. I was playing S&D this morning and it's down to 1 last teammate against 4 enemies with 3 minutes left. He has the bomb, and is camping in a hideout nowhere near A or B.

He waits until 30 seconds, then starts to run around and try to find the enemies to shoot them.

He can't find any, time runs out, and the match is over.

The other team was giving him grief for not planting the bomb and at least trying to shoot them while they were defusing it.

I suppose if I don't want to deal with it, be the last one alive and I won't have to worry about what my teammates are doing.

I agree with a previous point. You shouldn't get as many points for kills on the games that aren't just about shooting the enemy. You should get more points for securing points in Domination, or planting/defusing, etc., in the other games.

You'd keep the players that are just out for the kills out of those other games.

or here's a better idea, don't even log or display the kills/deaths in objective type games. Just a winner and loser

Seems like all those people care about is how far up they list they are at the end of the game.
