Black Ops Favorite Weapon/Class

I started playing the campaign on Veteran, got to some level where VC never stop spawning and coming at you in the desert or some shit, it's fucking impossible.  I'm going to start playing online now.  What's youre favorite weapon/class?  And how's the MP5 in this game?

I find that all the assault rifles in this game are pretty weak when it comes to far shots, If you have the scope and you are far away you do have the advantage. I also like the fact that the smg are pretty bunk when it comes to shooting people at a distance unlike the ump45 in mw2. If you guys want to have ultra fun playing try barebones classic. You still get perks and three set kill streaks (uav, napalm, and cpu controlled chopper gunner) with no attachments.

(p.s. in reply to this post I banged my knee real hard and it hurt, you have owned me non-intentionally over the internet.)

wish i could use it in exchange for a promise that i won't (and rarely can even while trying) quickscope.. guess it's a good change but i never got pissed at being quickscoped, it's the kind of thing that gets done to me and i go "niiice"

also the maps are small etc in black cops so i dont really see a need to nerf the snipers even more with this no fast ADS stuff. oh well

Oh but there is on thing that is a little crazy. Once you get close enough to someone with the L96A1 that the cross hairs turn red (about 50-70ft ish), you can just noscope and it will hit the person every time, unless they move out of the way making the sights white again.

Actually it is probably only closer that 50-70ft. I don't remember exactly, but it's still crazy.

Yeah we learned about it in one of our private matches. maybe not 100% but 95% of the time it will hit. I don't remember the distance the red starts to appear, it probably isn't that far out. It still didn't help no scoping all that much though, unless the enemy is standing still and close.

nuketown is the greatest map ever. it's such a shit show especially with the ridiculous spawns in black ops. you run to a flag, kill everyone, and then some dude spawns behind you and shoots you in the back of the head

Go in the house, plant a claymore, kill anybody who goes in front of the house.  Once claymore explodes and you get a kill, just lay down and watch the two entrances and kill anybody who tries to come in.  I played the level seven times in a row and went like +15 each time.

I just played Xbox today, decided PS3 has a better controller too.  PS3 is better, except for the fact that it doesn't have Halo and GoW.

If the Xbox could play Bluerays the discussion would be over, but PS3 is awesome because it can do other stuff like that, and online gaming is free. And the fact that you can get an Xbox shaped controller for PS3 makes it a close call. I will still keep my Xbox though, but overall I think they are still close.

i think the reason why your the first person to say that is because everyone else is still a n00b and doesnt have all the guns yet.

the G11 makes the m16 seem like a piece of shit, and is an AWESOME gun.


just wait till everyone gets it, kids are gonna jump all over it

I just hate how heavy Xbox controllers are.  When I had an Xbox I had to take the vibration packs out, and it felt so much better after.  But a standard Xbox controller is worse in my opinion.

oh to answer your OP question you have to knife the barrels and they stop coming. i got stuck there forever and nobody tells you to do it, i just luckily ran by one once and it asked me to press x. you stick your knife in it and it rolls down the hill and blows up. once you've done it to both of them the VC stop coming and you go down the hill to the right and then back up the other side and get in a jeep and blow up tanks with valkyrie rockets

That one is by Power A (seen here http://www.powera.com/ps3/ps3.asp?section=5&prod=051083). There are a few different ones out there. There are some other brands that are similar to that, but still have both analog sticks on the lower level too. Look around a bit and read reviews to see which one you want.

crazy, because I hate how light PS3 controllers are even the ones with the vibrator in it.

If I could I'd get a 360 controller that was the size of the original one, fit my hands sooo well.

Well I beat it already but I didn't knife anything.  All I did was stay on the far left and kill like 20 VC in a row, then run down into the trenches and run all the way to the other side and just lay down there.  Then like 5 seconds later when I got my health back I got up and poked my head out and my team was just standing in the middle at the bottom of the hill, took me like 20 tries. 

But now I'm stuck on the level where you're like on a roof, and you just jumped down from a broken apartment wall thing, and there's like people who shoot you all over the place and you have to go down some stairs like two buildings away.  I got down the stairs but then some of the bad people came up behind me and killed me.  It's so fucking hard.

the one after you interrogate the dude? make sure you pick up the sniper in the weapons cache and keep it the whole level until the end. take it slow, there're lots of guys in windows and on rooftops. it's like favela from mw2

Yeah that one.  I did pick up the thermal sniper.  I probably do rush too much though, but that's because I' got so damn frustrated.  Haven't tried it in a couple days though, been playing too much basketball.  Might try to beat it today though if I get time.  I'm so happy that we can now start from our latest checkpoint, it was ridiculous when you had to redo a whole level in MW2, even though that campaign took like 5 total hours on veteran.

lol wut? mw2 you started from checkpoints, you only restarted a level in spec ops

don't use the thermal dragunov. when you make the big jump over into the next building and he pushes the fridge out of the way to reveal the weapons cache take the bolt action sniper and the g11. you're inside when you get it but you'll realize you need a sniper. kill the guys in the hall with the g11 and then you'll get to the end of the hall where there're lots of glass windows and he tells you to go outside on to the rooftops. run out to trigger the guys and then run back by the glass windows and take everyone out with your sniper, then run outside, stay left, and run around the back side, pick the guys off, and go down the stairs. at the bottom of the stairs a guy will come down the fire escape and 2 snipers will appear on the far roof. kill the fire escape guy and the close guy with the g11 and then very quickly snipe the 2 guys on the roof otherwise they'll fuck you up immediately

it sucks though because if you get sniped by those guys at the end you start alllllll the way back in the building

I don't remember spawning from checkpoints at all, which is why I always insisted on beating the level before getting off.  Maybe in CoD: MW you didn't spawn from cehckpoints, but whatever.

Well fuck, I have the Spectre and Dragunov thermal.  I'm not a fan of the Spectre and I haven't used the Dragunov yet, but I do know it's weak.  I'm stuck where you spawn on the room and have to get to the stairs, so maybe I can go back and get the G11 and bolt action.

Did you beat the game already on veteran?

i don't know exactly where you are, but i think it's where i'm describing

i went back and got the bolt action sniper until i hit a new checkpoint with them. im slowly playing through campaign, i'm like 2 levels past that one. you go to the arctic with reznov after that one and then you're in nam again doing ninja shit

yeah. i died like 100 times on the vietnam level you're describing in the OP because i didn't know what to do until i figured out you need to knife the barrels but other than that i haven't had too much trouble. the arctic level is fun because the germans are so dumb you just flank the fuck out of them. i don't think i died once that whole level
