Pretty much everything that I've experienced in the game has been mentioned, except one thing:
Pistols (and not just the goddamn revolver) can actually kill people in regular death match. Sure, it takes a few rounds to the chest or a one lucky shot, but it does actually kill people, unlike in MW2.

No, the recent patch did absolutely nothing. They *supposedly* fixed the audio issues and the matchmaking problems, yet neither of them is actually fixed. There's still no enemy footstep noise and matchmaking still splits your party up on a regular basis.Geekosaurus said:
Thanks for clearing this up. I don't actually have the game so this was just what I had heard from people that do have it. Still, it doesn't bode well if that what they actually intended to do. We'll have to see if they implement it in the future.MetallicaRulez0 said:
Mostly.
However...
Knifing is still borked. They got rid of that thrice-cursed Commando perk, but then went and gave a mild version of it to everybody. People can still knife-lunge-teleport several metres.
Oh, and the spawning system is still utterly retarded. Seems to be a trademark of the series.

Yes I have. With the auto-assist aiming, sleight of hand pro, and starting sniper other than the 50. cal (I forgot), I could hit anyone regardless of range. All I'd have to do is look in their general direction, not even finish scoping, pull the trigger, and they died. I would miss a few times most games, but the effects were often the same. I quickscope my way to Harrier, then to AC-130 or Chopper Gunner based on map, then nuke it. Yes I did do this to get the easy emblem, but I was ashamed and disgusted for using such a broken mechanic. I stand by my previous post.Jester00 said:
How exactly does nerfing sniping to the ground "fix" it?Sephychu said:
I understand what people say about MW2 sniping being broken (which is more a problem with Sleight of Hand Pro than with sniping itself), but to say Black Ops "fixed" sniping is one of the most utterly moronic statements I've ever heard in my life. If anything Black Ops BROKE sniping, which was perfectly fine in CoD4 and to a lesser extent WaW (hit detection issues aside).
MW2 Problem:
No dedicated server support for PC.
Black Ops Solution:
It's there alright. Nice to know that boycott worked.
MW2 Problem:
Online multiplayer feels like the game can't decide what it wants to be; a slow, strategic FPS like BF2, or a face-paced affair like Quake and Unreal, or a quasi-MMORPG.
Black Ops Solution:
Untouched for the most part.
MW2 Problem:
Single player mode is nothing but a linear gauntlet of checkpoints through a boneheaded plot that feels like something out of a shitty Michael Bay movie.
Black Ops Solution:
RUSSIA BAD! AMERICA GOOD!
MW2 Problem:
Hard working Infinity Ward staff gets screwed out of well deserved bonuses by soulless Activision Board Members.
Black Ops Solution:
Bobby Kotick ends the year with an eight figure annual income.
No dedicated server support for PC.

They're rent-only. There is no dedicated server software for Black Ops that has been publicly released.Akisa said:
I did. It was too easy, so I stopped. Everyone who thinks it takes skill is kidding themselves. Using Slight of Hand, Stopping Power and Steady Aim... I took to not using Sleight or Stopping power, and I still did really well. That took a lot more skill than shitty quickscoping...Jester00 said:
Surely MW2 was like that as well as being a shitty Michael Bay movie? (I love that idea for a Michael bay movie, it really sounds like something he'd do: RUSSIA INVADES TEH USA!!1! CAPTAIN PRICE IS BACK!!! YAY!!!! GETTING BETRAYED IS COOL!!!!)T_ConX said:
Uhh...Sephychu said:
Have we been playing the same 2 games? Perhaps you got the 2 reversed by accident?
Modern Warfare 2 has excellent hit detection and no random sniper accuracy. Black Ops has terrible hit detection and a 3 second window where you might as well blindfold yourself before taking the shot.
Like I said, Black Ops broke sniping if anything.
Luckily Treyarch appear to be discussing removing the sniper patch, which is wonderful news.
It is odd that you bring this up, because I have been told by many that the reverse of my experience is the case, then had them tell me that it was a totally different experience on the PC, the console on which I play. Perhaps the problems are reversed on the consoles, but I've found that the sniping works very well for me, as it did poorly in MW2.MetallicaRulez0 said:
Also, the whole 3-second-blind-spot thing is not something that has ever caused me any grievance. I tend to take more care and precision over my shots, and I mae use of those three seconds to get it on target.
Hit detection has worked pretty soundly for me too.
