hmmm...should I mysteriously be sick tomorrow...can't decide if I want to deal with the midnight crowd, but if I do I'm staying up ALL night
Anyone ever play cod on ps3. Im thinking of buying a ps3 on black friday just for the hell of it. Ive always played it on the Xbox and was wondering if the experience is similar.
Most of the YouTube guys have been playing it since Friday....they're all saying its one of the best ever. And just like with the last game, Treyarch has been in full contact with players trying to patch anything that seems cheap or over powering. Theyve already patched the game multiple times in the last two days leading up to release today.
That's what most are saying...although, they are going off their initial reactions, so its hard to really say until more hours are logged. I do know this...the game plays very fast...and the majority of maps are small, so lots of action going on. Also, the knifing has been toned down drastically as you dont lunge anymore. Basically, you need to be within a meter of the guy to kill him with the knife. Many more points are now given for objective play...if you sit around in a corner, just picking people off, thats great, but you dont get many points for that. Killstreaks are now called "score streaks"...so you attain your killstreaks by getting points. Capping flags, picking up tags, planting bombs...you can get good points for those. For example, in MW3, playing Kill Confirmed, you would get 50 points for killing someone and another 50 if you picked up their tags. This time, you get 100 points for picking up their tags, so much more incentive to go and pick up a tag, rather than sitting behind a wall picking people off, specially since you are getting your killstreaks based on points instead of kills. Also, if you are going with the Ghost perk, you dont show up on enemy maps as long as you are moving. If you are camping, you appear on their maps. Great move. Treyarch is completely underrated, and has been since Black Ops 1.
Whats the verdict on the new zombie modes and the new survival map? Going to pick up a copy during my lunch break and then getting nasty all night!
Ghost is a tier 1 perk and only protects you from spy plane, then they have blind eye also in tier 1 that protects you from choppers, drones ect.. In tier 2 they have hardwire that makes you immune to counter spy place and emp and then cold blooded also in the same tier that protects you from player controlled killstreaks as sentry guns, hellstorm missle ect.. Here's a complete break down http://www.blackops2forum.com/f8/depth-gun-attachments-breakdown-5048/ They are trying to balance the game as much as they can and doing a good job.
There wont be any pro perks this year. But, regarding the ghost perk, that just hides you from UAVs. You would need Blind Eye to hide you from killstreaks. Both of those perks are in Tier 1, so you have to choose one. However, there is a twist this year. This isnt 100% accurate, Im just going off things I have heard...The class set up is based on points. Out of the following, each one is designated a certain number of points...for example, a primary weapon would be 3 points, a lethal grenade would be 1 point, a perk would be one point, etc... Im not sure what the point designations are, but you get up to 10 points to choose from, so you can mix and match however you want to add up to 10 points for a class. 1 Primary Weapon 1 Secondary Weapon 2 Primary attachments 1 Secondary attachments 1 Lethal Grenade 2 Tactical Grenades 3 Perks 3 Wild cards, which allows you to choose from Primary Gunfighter (attach a 3rd attachment to primary gun), Secondary Gunfighter (attach a 2nd attachment to secondary gun, Overkill (equip two primary weapons), Danger Close (allows two lethal equipments, like semtex), Perk 1 greed (pick two perks from tier 1), Perk 2 greed, Perk 3 greed, and Tactician (have an extra tactical grenade) So, if I use 6 perks, then I could probable only have a Primary weapon with no attachments. Im not sure on the details exactly, but this is the gist of it. There will be almost an endless amount of class set ups.
I am picking it up at lunch today - I have heard Ghost (UAV blocker) is unlocked at level 55....which is the last level before prestiege. However, it is in one of the deflaut classes (the one good one) so if you need it early, its there I play the holy $hit out of COD so if anyone is on xbox live and wants to connect - I like to play with people who have good connections - just leave your gamertag
