Black Ops 2, info released...

[Bryce]

Played a match this afternoon. Had 2 double kills with smaw. Got kicked for a glitchy team kill with less than a minute to go. #yellattv There's some really questionable stuff when you get close to gold. Even though I will still keep playing, there seems to be absolutely no move to fix this game. Doesn't need major fixes, just some tweaks would do it.

All I have left to bling my launchers is a triple kill with the RPG. The way it's looking I'll most likely reach Prestige Master before that happens which unlocks everything anyway.

Headquarters. Cap the HQ, hide far away from it, wait for the enemy to start capping it run in and nuke them. You could try throwing a C4 first (dont detonate it) for extra boom, not sure if that will count but it should.

Capture the flag on Hardcore mode. Then camp the flag.

Thanks for the tip. I tried for a bit last night but only got a double kill. Very frustrating!

[JP Z]

From what I've read you can use your gun for the first 2 kills, then quick switch to RPg for numero 3.

Apparently the weapon customization/paint options aren't unlocked when you achieve Prestige Master status. Guess I still have to get that triple kill after all.

How do I get Nuketown if I didn't get the preorder copy? I bought the last map pack, but no Nuketown.

If I am teamed up with my buddy and he's the host the game play is really laggy. If he's not the game plays alright and just my aim is horrid.

[MN BassFisher]

Alright folks, what are the general consensus of the maps? My buddy really like the new gun - the peacekeeper.

Has anyone tried this? That'd be much easier if that's the case!

I know when I am trying to get Bloodthirsty's if one of my kills come from me stabbing someone, or from a Bouncing Betty, the Bloodthirty doesnt get subtracted from the amount I need. Although if you get say 3 kills in a row with a gun, stab someone, then get one more kill, you wont get it, but if you shoot 3, stab one, then shoot 2 more, it counts.

So I am not sure if it would work or not.

[Bryce]

Another big patch today.

I can confirm that not all of the kills need to come with the same weapon to get double and triple kills. Not sure if the order in which the weapons get used matters or not. NKLCOLT has a site that would probably spell that out but I forgot it.

Handing out bloodthirstys this afternoon. Picked up weapon bloodthirst 3 times. Two more weapons closer to gold.

I don't think you can right now. However, I read something that in the near future you are going to be able to buy it and some other cosmetic weapons customization's via micro-transactions. Not sure the roll out date.

I am going to have to get playing then. I need 3 Bloodthirstys on 1 assault weapon, and I am at 67 headshots on my last assault rifle to get diamond bling in the assault rifles.

thats good to know a quick knife kill in between wont ruin the streak.

i have a what??

[Bryce]

That site that explains all the intricate details of the game and what rewards you can gain. Would guess something such as that would explain in detail how to unlock all the camos.

[NKLCOLT1911]

oh yes its cheatcc.com and it a lot of times will explain what all the unlocks do and how to get them.

[NKLCOLT1911]

i just looked at it and it dosent explain much about multiplayer it covers more of the campaign and zombies modes

[Scott K]

I am down to having just one more assault rifle to finish up to get the diamond bling. Still have about 30 headshots to get on it, and then all of the rest of the stuff after that.

Got the foaming camp on assault rifles. Finally. Now for sub machine guns.

[DTro]

Foaming Camp? What is that?

Did you ever get my friend request? I sent one out a few weeks ago.

[Scott K]

That was suppose to be "diamond camo" on my assault weapons Dang phones!

I seen your request, but my son was playing at the time, I told him to accept the request, because there were several, he told me he did, but I never checked. I will check when I play next.

[JP Z]

I think a foaming camo would be better. Especially if the gun actually foamed while playing.....just follow the guys drip trail to whack him... Yep, I've had a lot of coffee this morning if you were wondering.
