Black Ops on the Wii looks interesting. Graphics are not as good as the PS3 or Xbox 360, but that’s to be expected. It still plays at quite a blistering pace. The wandering gun sight might make viewers sick however. It tends to jump around quite a bit!

Black Ops Weapon Guide: MP5K
Very impressive guide to the first SMG players use in Call of Duty Black Ops. (via)
I’ve said it before (maybe in my head, …
I’ve said it before (maybe in my head, but probably in this video) but watching other players in the theater mode in Black Ops is enlightening.
Sometimes I’m outgunned but more often than not it’s because I rush around too much and I’m easy pickings for those with more patience. I’m no Pyropuncher, by a long shot.
So what should a level 9 Black Ops player do? My favourite weapon class is the assault rifle but I’ve only unlocked the Enfield so far. It can be effective but against higher level players I’m outgunned.
I need to play more defensively, I think.
I watched a game I played last night in which I went 6-13 on Jungle (it’s in my recent games list) and it was interesting seeing the highest scoring player play in Theater. He went around with a shotgun and played brilliantly. In one confrontation he jumped out of a hut flanking three enemy soldiers and took them all down. Later however he grabbed a sniper rifle and lay on the ground for a good 20 seconds with the scope on trained on one location. Guess who was unlucky enough to go (slowly and warily) around that corner? Yeah, I still recall thinking he must have been a little camping fecker to get that kill…
So what are your favourite assault loadouts? Duck was using the galil and that motion detector along with his RC car. I watched Mike use that motion detector too in a game of domination but I don’t know if I’ve unlocked it yet. I’m currently using the Enfield with extended mags with hardline, sleight of hand and ninja perks and my global KDR is 0.75.

Bad Company 2: the one with epic failures
A few weeks ago we played a few games of Bad Company 2 on Isla Inocentes. My team won the first one, but lost the second one. KDR was rubbish in both but they were great games.
Can’t wait for the next map pack and Vietnam expansion!
Update! Here’s what that oh so brilliant helicopter flying looked like from Duck’s point of view .. I won’t be teaching flying lessons any time soon.
Dancing with Zombies
Fun with zombies in Black Ops last night. Sulley, Redd Dragons, Duck and myself played zombies and had a little fun with a solitary zombie while we decided what to do for the next round.
Fun with zombies is when you dance with …
Fun with zombies is when you dance with the last remaining zombie in a level and you go around and around. Poor guy gets quite angry. Yes, got it recorded, clip later 🙂
COD Black Ops Updated
Good news today! Black Ops has been updated! Lots and lots of fixes in this patch but one I’m really excited about is one right at the end:
Additional fine-tuning of audio levels and ranges for footsteps and gunfire
Maybe now I’ll be able to hear the baddies in my headphones and Ninja will be useful. (Thanks Mike for the heads up on the update!)
(And please DICE staff, if you’re reading this. We’re still looking forward to the next installment of BfBC2 expansions. BLOPS is simply a stop gap until map pack 7 and the Vietnam expansion are released!)
Update (2010-11-18) The post linked above has been updated with 2 very important changes:
Improvements to the spawn system to resolve an issue where negative spawn influencers from specific game events were not always being deleted after the danger had cleared – in some matches, this was causing good spawns to be erroneously flagged by the game as bad spawns, which in turn forced actual bad spawns to get selected later in the match
Experimental slight reduction in knife lunge range – this is a trial change
Have you noticed these changes?
The Battlefield Vietnam Pack
The postman delivered a small package this morning from Sweden. It was the Battlefield Vietnam Pack I won on Monday!
The kit includes a compass marked “ENGINEER DIRECTIONAL COMPASS”, a multi tool, torch and AAA batteries, all in a medal tin. The compass and torch are made of plastic, but the multi tool is nice stainless steel.
Thanks again Daniel for holding the competition, and especially for picking me out of the bag! 🙂
Black Ops TDM: Jungle
I went 17-6 in a game of team deathmatch on Jungle yesterday evening. One of the very few multiplayer games where I went positive but then I’ve only played against human player a handful of times so far.
Catching Boosters in Black Ops
Yes, another Red Dragon (the other one) video, this time showing a booster idiot in the Call of Duty Black Ops leaderboards. siebs12 is the offending player so if you play on Xbox please report him.
Sad, nasty lag switch cheater.
