anyone having any problems downloading it? mine still says 18 hours remaining and it's been downloading for hours now. psn isn't known to be fast but this is ridiculous.

Mine took about 5 hours.

 

[jorgejjvr]

I felt that too. Flinch seems really cranked up.

Yep, and no toughness to fix that, usually makes whoever lands a shot first to win. I think in a game with no toughness there should be less flinch

Pause and resume download, this works. It should put those hour down, or into minutes, you should also see an increase in the download. Might have to do it a couple of times, and keep track of it, if it goes back to normal, pause and resume again

I'm so glad that handguns are a viable weapon choice again. They were so useless in AW.
Played a whole match using only the first handgun and it was really fun.
Does anyone know if the second one has burst fire? It was one of my main weapons in BLOPS2.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

TTK is also observed to be no change. ARs pretty much slay you before you even know where you're getting shot from.

Yep, and no toughness to fix that, usually makes whoever lands a shot first to win. I think in a game with no toughness there should be less flinch

Or just none at all as all it does is help in letting the first person to shoot win or the one getting shot at to get the off chance of netting a headshot on someone who definitely had the drop on you.

It should all be visible thing if it was up to me.

Question: does the US$40 add-on Season Pack offer anything besides future map packs?

Skins and guns

 

[jorgejjvr]

So while wall running you can only hip fire? If you aim down sights you fall?

Treyarch in the past has also included zombies

So I'm guessing maps, guns, skins, zombies, and probably new specialists too

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

If I go preorder now will I still get a code?

 

[biteren]

you keep your running momentum while you aim wall runing, not sure if this is exclusive to the gung ho perk

 

[SixStringPsycho]

How do I access my codes on the call of duty page? I already redeemed and gave me my code and 2 others to share. Shared one, but since I went to sleep I turned it off and whenever I try to access the black ops beta webpage I cant seem to find the beta codes.

 

[Portugeezer]

Anyone else have an issue with spotting players who are prone. They blend in more than any other COD game I remember.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Hmm the times I've tried it if I attempt to aim I fall, have to keep testing then

 

[Summer Haze]

Holy shit the TTK is so low. It feels like I'm playing MW2 hardcore. Combine that with the super strong auto-aim and I'm too old for this shit. I understand reaction times are important in games like these, but damn, at least let us have firefights that lasts longer than .2 of a second.

*raises hand*

Specially in that cave

i think you do slow down when you do it, i was able to aim and take people out while safly landing on the ground or get to the edge

Do I have to hold the running button? Maybe it doesn't help that my L3 doesn't work perfectly it seems

 

[Angel_DvA]

Game says my Nat is strict when the PSN says I'm in type 2... Da Fuck ?

 

[Ambient80]

No... Slashing through a hail of bullets is dumb

What pissed me off in AW is that it was rarely a knife at all, they were just punching you. Seriously, I get three bullets in you but I die because you PUNCHED me??? No.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Yeah, now that I've got the game down, I'm loving it. There's such a nice flow to the combat.

A good chunk of my engagements have gone like
wallrun > jump glide to the side > pick off an enemy from the air > land > slide > kill > melee someone > slide to the left and shoot them to finish them off > flip around and slam spikes into the ground and get a kill or two.

It's almost like a dance you have to learn but once you've got it down, it flows super well.

 

[Xeilyn]

Remember to provide feedback here guys, dont think they will actually change anything but if enough people complain it might happen

Feedback

 

[mephixto]

It feels more like BLOPS1 than 2, I loved both but it's impossible to me to play it with a controller. I'm more hyped for the PC version now, can't wait to try it out next week on PC.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Edit: Nevermind, found it.

 

[Gandalf]

Confusing at first... The Outrider is an awesome Specialist to pick. Both the Bow and the Recon thing are cool skills to have.

I'm actually surprised. It's the first CoD I've enjoyed playing since Blops 1.

The maps are pretty clever too. The one with the waterfall has some sneaky underwater parts where you can come out and surprise people.

Overall I actually really like it. Didn't think I'd say that about a Call of Duty since the last few have been turds in my eyes.

Treyarch <3

 

[dork]

First impression was that there's too much shit to unlock and equip from the get go. like what is half this stuff?
The game is quite fun but some weapons seems really weak

That's how I feel about BF4. Too many unlocks, I just left everything default half the time. I felt overwhelmed

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

so no more knife kills huh, that sucks.

also it sucks i fell asleep yesterday, game was done by 9pm but i was so tired. almost call in sick for work lol , cant wait when i get home

This.

How's sniping?

Quickscoping work?

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

Don't worry, I'm getting the same problem through AT&T. Honestly don't even know what to do after multiple attempts with DMZ.

Sadly, it seems so. You can get away with some quickscoping from the deaths I've seen.

 

[Portugeezer]

I keep getting random lag spikes. 33ms, then boom 400ms WTF... is it just me?

I'm not downloading anything either.

 

[GavinUK86]

it's weird how the menu is so quiet. no music or anything.

 

[VincentMatts]

That could be cause its a beta

probably.

Eh I mean, CoD meta is hardly to be taken seriously anyway, as long as it doesn't get frustrating (which I never found quickscoping - AW with the spawns and the mobility got on my nerves) I'm fine.

 

[biteren]

as long as you hold forward you should be fine

 

[Xeilyn]

Another great game. 33-2, feels good when everyone else gets around 30 deaths

 

[Hispanicguy]

I didn't get a chance to look but can you put iron sights on snipers? That's probably the only way I would enjoy using a sniper class. World at War spoiled me, lol.

Engineer will be one of my top perks for sure. I'm one of those people that enjoys taking down shit. Which also means I'll be equipping the launcher that has 4 shots (which I already unlocked).

Looking forward to being home already and playing some more. If anyone wants to form a group, just say the word and we'll get some games in tonight.

I gotta say, I was worried I would have trouble playing COD on a PS controller (since I've always been xbox) but I got accustomed pretty quickly. I do have a Titan One being shipped to me later today so I'll be able to use my X1 controller. I'll give impressions later tonight.

 

[Hidden One]

Mostly from everyone trying to get beta codes...But yeah..This one gonna sell alot.

 

[Venom Fox]

So what's the general consensus on the best guns? I've seen quite a lot of posts talking about balancing issues with different types of guns.

 

[Lupercal]

so no more knife kills huh, that sucks.

Yup, the one thing I enjoy from CoD and they take it out. After playing for 2 hours I can already tell this one'll be at par with AW. So no buy.

 

[thejpfin]

usually makes whoever lands a shot first to win. I think in a game with no toughness there should be less flinch

Agree. Imo there's too much flinch in this game.

Ayy

It does feel good. In hardpoint I love to gravity spike mash full enemy group that sit on objective. Easy 4-6 kills.

 

[Lyonaz]

Good god that feeling when you do a triple kill with the bow, it was some Oliver Queen the Arrow-shit.

 

[Luke_Wal]

In case you think you haven't gotten your code yet: check your Spam. Gmail's spam filter on my personal account put it in Spam. Apparently it came late last night; I could've downloaded it while I slept! This really is excruciatingly slow.

 

[Broadbandito]

My best highlight from last night

 

[Hispanicguy]

So what's the general consensus on the best guns? I've seen quite a lot of posts talking about balancing issues with different types of guns.

Give the Razorback a try. Put a grip on that and you're good.

I know! So much fun.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

I just don't like sniper rifles operating like shotguns in some respect, but its low priority of what is wrong with CoD relatively so its whatever. There are bigger fish to fry, but whatever.

 

[stryke]

It's an easy way to get beta codes.

 

[names2hard4you]

Still no email /: I registered and have been waiting since midnight and nothing. Sigh.
