Black Ops Players Murder the Planet Nine Times (and Other Crazy Stats)

[OiXerxes]

Hey Treyarch, if there were a time that would make it pretty damn clear that the RC car needs to be nerfed, it would be now...and the past 3 months. So get to it.

So? Haven't you destroyed nine planets before?

Way to trivialise the horror of *actual war*.

I imagine someone pointed it out already.

But the X world wars comment is about bullets fired, not people killed.

Way to trivialise the horror of *actual war*.

Only if you aren't mature enough to know the difference between fantasy and reality.

Now all we have to do is compare them to statistics of Minecraft....

Who would win that, Minecraft or Black Ops?

Honestly, I can't decide my opinion on that...

RC-XD is the deadliest killstreak!

That just confirms for me how overpowered the RC-XD really is, as I think its too easy to earn.

I still maintain that it should be 5 kill streak, based on the fact that its basically ALMOST a guaranteed kill, much like the predator in MW2.

Also (and I know this is impossible to measure), I think that technically the UAV is the most deadly killstreak if you think about it.

These stats prove that gamers are mindless killing machine. Right?
It was about time media got something to get scared to.

Lets not let the "video games are bad and turn people in to murder machines" people see this ok?

But they need to know of the mass virtual homicide being committed by these brainwashed children! Can't you see the terrors these people have created? We have to spread the word about the poor, innocent virtual people!

(For those of you that can't tell, I'm just fucking around)

Did ya know there have been 16.5 konswillion figures made about black ops?

Make it 16.5 knswillion plus 1.....or 2

 

[Lokithrsourcerer]

well that pretty interesting stuff but i'm sure u could do the same with many games
take WoW i have killed 26257 players alone (HK's b4 you spit your dummies out only 10k killing blows)

and they say 67% of statistics are invented

What a surprise that the gun with the most kills is the FAMAS, with the second being the AK-47u, and the 3rd being the Galil. I would say they were definitely the most overpowered guns in the game.

On a side note.

JESUS CHRIST those are some BIG, HUGEO numbers...

that little RC car is a pain if you're not careful.

I knew Famas and Ak-74u were popular but i didn't know the Galil was that popular.

I use the Galil a bit on the ps3 version, only see a couple othr using it. I assumed the commando would be third.

I think nationalism plays a role in it. I'm guessing these stats were compiled internationally, and I vaguely remember hearing that the game was really big in Isreal. The Galil series of arms being theirs.

This could be a big part of it, impossible to tell. I don't know how much of the player base is where, especially including pirated copies. It would be interesting to see a breakdown based on where people are playing from if that's at all possible.

Honestly the US tends to be the least nationalistic of nations when you get down to it. The assault rifle we used the M-16 gets a bad rap among our own people as well because of a very brief period where the rifle which was originally developed as a "next generation, self-cleaning rifle" was put into service without any kind of maitnence equipment as it was believed it didn't need it, this lead to a lot of weapons jamming up in Veitnam leading to the soldiers carrying them getting killed, and with no way to clean them, a lot of them becoming so much junk. This lead to a lot of our troops using seized enemy weapons and the like. This flaw with the M-16 was later corrected however, and to be honest I think it was probably the best Assault Rifle in the world for a long time. It was however hard to manufacture which is why it was never distributed as much as the AK-47 which pretty much any nation with metal and wood can knock off. Of course a lot of the advantages of the M-16 don't come into play in FPS games all that much, such as it having a pretty subtantial range, and most importantly being ridiculously light meaning you can transport a lot more of them on planes and boats, and of course when dealing with long range hiking and deployment in full gear the differance between an AK series rifle, and an M-16 which is only like half or one third of the weight is a big deal.

I don't play Black Ops, but I'd imagine the AK is so popular because so many countries use that or some variation of it, as well as players in the US thinking that this was the gun that replaced the M-16 around this time period, which isn't exactly true, though there is a grain of truth to it being scavenged for a while until the M-16 problem was dealt with.

Screw them, this is some excellent efficiency! Get these people in factories.

Murder = Manufacture?

Maybe I'm not reading it right but.... 171 times 73 Million is 12.5 billion, roughly.... and the game came out in November, 3 months ago, average of 90 days. So that's 1.123 Trillion kills since November, that's not 62 billion. What's the math up with that?

Unless of course, this is only counting military deaths and not civilian casualties. In which case, it was 22-25 million, which is still a shitload. So according to the poster and not the news post (which is probably very faulty), then we have 161 * 23.5M (average) = 3.783B.... which still doesn't make sense if you multiply that over 90 days. over 270B. WTFFF I'M SO CONFUSED.

They're referring to the amount of bullets fired, 1.1 Trillion.

Spy Plane isn't even included in the charts. Why? CAUSE OF THAT RC!

Or maybe its because the Spy planes don't actually kill anyone?
