That's why I pack the AA launcher as my secondary. Pretty funny to see people's killstreaks give me a free 400-600 points before it does anything.

Yeah, all of my classes have the Strela-3 for secondary. It's tough sometimes to get off 2 shots at a Huey without getting taken out first, but usually I can do it after a respawn if nothing else.

As if this wasn't expected : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPhCtjMIDmM&feature=player_embedded
Happened in MW2 so why not Black cocks.

Treyarch and Gameservers are actively shutting down any servers that are known to run that exploit though, in addition to banning players that are abusing it.

Hmm just hit the first prestidge. I'm debating whether or not to do it. I've never played a COD game online before. The only benefit apparently is simply the 'prestidge' I guess?

You get another custom class and a few extra decals/face paint/stuff.
There are some minor perks that come with the ego stroking. I'm at lv. 48 right now and am wondering what all gets re-locked. It looks like your playercard stays intact but exp. and CoD points are reset to zero.
I've been using most of my CoD points on playercard stuff since spending it on unlocking a whole bunch of stuff that's going to get locked up again is kind of pointless. I only went to 1st prestige in MW2, but it felt like it took a lot longer to get there than Black Ops.

Screwed up and joined a hacked leveling server, any ways to backtrack?
Did you end up getting banned? If not I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens.
im sure he means not be level 50.
I just beat the campaign, wow! Not sure what the general feeling are towards it for most but I absolutely loved it. Best COD campaign yet IMO. It seems they took what usually is some kind of trivial level system with linear story and really fleshed it out. The story seemed pretty layered and had twists in it I would expect in a well written movie.
It also didn't hurt that voice acting was superb.

Just got my dual GTX 580s in SLI installed today and I finished most of the rest of the game. 6068x1200 resolution, 4X AA everything maxed out.
I don't understand the hate on this game's graphics? I think they are pretty good. Not, say, BFBC2 quality, but more than passible. Game runs >60fps at these settings.

UPDATE : hit registration seems to be improved, it might be that i finally found one server that shows no spikes at all in the lagometer ( OR the latest update, i don't know ), lodscalerigid and lodbiasskined are hardlocked to "1" instead of 4, gameplay wise all the gay perks are removed and most of the guns actually require a little bit of skill to use instead of spray and pray, personally i'd rather go for warlord instead of steady aim since i only fire from the hip at point blank range ( or just press V and be done with it
)My minfps remains still kinda low but i'll trade my gtx260 for a 5850 this week and see what happens, gtx470 and nvidia forceware drivers were a total letdown for me and i want to be combat ready for bc2 'nam anyway

I completely prestiged in the first Modern Warfare and got to about level 8 or 9 in MW2. You will become a better player by doing prestige. You will be constantly forcing yourself to start from scratch rather than relying on all the goodies and gear that you have already unlocked. This was even more true in MW and MW2 since grinding was the only way to unlock all the good stuff.
Tru dat
I am coming up to first prestige, i will do it a couple of times then that's it i think.
Also, a couple of people i know have been having the same sort of laggy experience and low FPS etcetc. I really dont understand how though, it's annoying. I am not experiencing any issues at all... apart from laggy killcam, but i couldn't give a fuck.
Noodle scratcher.

My main complaints about the graphics is the texturing. It's really really ugly in places. Source engine games from 2004 have better texturing.
It really depends on the map and whether or not you are playing the single or multiplayer games. Parts of the game actually look quite good while others look extremely dated.
Just prestiged and was thinking about what weapons to use this time around, now that I know what they do and what I can skip.
So I did the first 20 or so levels with dual-wield MACs and sleight of hand/scavenger. Pretty hilarious, if you turn a corner on someone they are basically instantly hit with 40 bullets. Reload time is like 1/2 a second and you need scavenger or you run out of ammo quick. Just dont try to snipe!

Did the same thing myself, dual MAC's, scavanger and sleight of hand....
Secondary as python with acog for long range which worked out well for me.
I made a movie of my gameplay. Watch me absolutely decimate the other team.

Anyone else losing levels randomly? I lost 2-3 levels twice on Sunday. For example, I was Rank 24 and left the server after the start of the next game to change my Weapons, Killstreaks, etc only to realize that my rank had gone back to 21 and I lost all progress from before.

Except that not all servers running this exploit are identifying that they are , so people have been joining servers unknowingly of this and have been banned for it. Its a pretty low thing for an admin to do.

yup, happened to me last night.
I was working on a 50 kill contract. When I completed it, it also moved me up to the next level (33 maybe?) and showed that I unlocked the crossbow, however, after I got done playing and checked the contracts out, it showed that I still needed 2 kills to complete it and the crossbow was still locked (and my level was where it was before I played).
Its probably a network-sync issue. This also happened to me once over the weekend. After I completed a contract and went to go look at it in the contracts screen, it showed that it was uncomplete. I went back to the main menu and reloaded the contracts and it showed correctly. This didn't work with my latest issue though, I had to jump back into a game really quick and complete it again.

wait, they're banning players? I know they've threatened it, but didn't think that they've banned anyone yet.
IMHO, they (valve/activision) should ban any and every admin that runs or helps run these servers and give everyone else a warning. This is the EXACT reason why I bailed out on COD4 for the PC and started playing on the 360.

They are banning anyone that connects to these servers for the most part , I would imagine they won't ban you if you connect and disconnect once you realize and if you realize fast enough otherwise if you level up and take a fair amount of experience consider your copy of Black Ops banned for MP use.
This was a pretty big problem in MW2 as well using the oil refinery map and FFA mode , in fact people found a way to route you regardless of playlist into those servers it was lame. IW took quite a long time to fix it as well. VAC bans were issued but not sure how many bit the dust.
Anyone seen this video yet . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5AskkQcRUw
Quotes taken from the interview .
"What were really trying to do on this title for PC is to give the PC community the same game that the console guys are getting but in a way that makes sense"
"You will be able to play on ranked servers and not have a lot of different options of how those games are run because they are pretty much in par of what you get on the consoles"
"I think it's going to be a fantastic PC title"
Aside from the obvious bugs on the PC game . The server side of the game really sucks.
How can this dude say that it is going to be a fantastic PC title when it is clearly made for console.
"What were really trying to do on this title for PC is to give the PC community the same game that the console guys are getting"
I don't want the same game the console Guys are getting . If I wanted that I would of bought a 300 dollar console instead of spending thousands of dollars on my rig
What a slap in the face.

it IS a fantastic game though (on the PC, PS3 and the Xbox). It's fun, has a lot of replay value, gives you a lot for your money and it's well thought out (and they gave the PC community what they've been asking for).
If you want a game made specifically for the PC, go play crysis wars or CS:S or something. Everyone by now should be aware of how popular COD is on the consoles, that's their target platforms. They're not going to make a completely different COD game for the PC... it's just not going to happen. It's not economical or realistic for any developer to do that. I don't know what anyone would assume that.
I hate to say it, but the vast majority of PC titles these days are developed with the consoles in mind. This is NOT going to change anytime soon. If you only want to play PC centric games, you're going to miss out on a lot of really good titles.
I'm not talking about the game play. That's okay It has some bugs that I'm sure will get worked out , What I'm talking about is the server side of it. as an admin on a sever that you pay for you should have more control of that server...

From his description: "This is blackops gameplay on PC. I did amazing, with 4 kills and 9 deaths, which resulted in a massive KDR of 0.44."
