Oooh, I don’t know how they got it but here’s a sneak preview of what Oasis in map pack 7 plays like. Thanks Nick!

It pays to flank, and watch your flanks
jayekaiser shows just how important it is in Bad Company 2 to be tactical and strategic. Great, short clip. Can’t wait for the next map pack!
There’s a huge update for Bad Company 2…
There’s a huge update for Bad Company 2 coming on the PS3 this evening, including data and assets for Map Pack 7 and Vietnam so it’ll be big. It can’t come soon enough if you ask me!
Duck, Conor and myself had so much trouble getting into games of Black Ops we retired to Combat Training where admittedly we had lots of fun. One game we did get into was on launch where we were hammered like shiny new nails into plywood. Very quickly and with little apparent effort. Grrr.
Still, I had a game of TDM early in the evening on Havana and got the first kill with that grenade throw. Very satisfying!
Wii Call of Duty Black Ops
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, 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.
What would you do?
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?
