Was there some buff to the S12 that I missed? I am getting wrecked by it lately.

I havent followed patchnotes/hotfixes that much with this one so I am not sure. I very rarely see any shotguns being used though.

That damn pistol though. Not sure what its called but it looks like a flare gun.

Sorry about that man. I finished my Diamond for SMG & AR so I've been running around smashing the world with the S12. hehe

LOL. I got it in Gold as well (tip: play in Hardcore!), but I just don't remember it being so insta-kill at close range!

My KDR is getting better now that I got rid of the mouse acceleration in Windows and pointer speed in my mouse drivers. I didnt notice that BOII is complete hardware driven mouse support unlike previous COD's that were all software driven. So I removed the mouse precision in my windows CP and had to up the sensitivity to compensate. At least when I turn my hand slightly the gun aim doesn't sail and sway all the time. I also find it helps to cap the FPS to your monitor refreash rate. So usually around 60 or 120 FPS. Keeps the screen from tearing.

Not trying to be an ass or anything, but this BO2 thread is for the console version.

Sigh. This thread was once in PC forum then merged for some reason in the Console forum. My subscribed channel knows no difference.

Probably late to bring this up and maybe it's already discussed prior but does it piss anyone else off that they recycled a DLC map from MW3 DLC in the very damn 1st DLC map release for Blops 2?

4 NEWS MAPS!! Well not really, it's 3 new maps and one recycled one.

So, I started playing Black Ops 2 with a friend. There's one thing that's been bothering me though. I'm using the Type 25, and I'll be in relatively close range of an enemy, start firing at their chest, unload at least five bullets, they finally react to me being there, fire three bullets, and I'm dead. Am I getting screwed because I refuse to use aim assist? My friend didn't even realize that Black Ops 2 had aim assist. :p

I'm actually wondering how potent aim assist is in the game. My friend was showing me a video, and a guy appeared to be aiming at chest-level while firing, and he ended up getting a headshot reward thing. At least from what I could see in the YouTube video, he never actually aimed at the head. So, what sort of nuances do I need to be aware of?

If you want a good laugh. I actually fell for someone playing dead. :oops: I saw the guy "fall down", and I thought, "wait a minute... he's not actually dead, is he? Who killed him?" *shoots me* "Bastard... I knew it!" I was tempted to shoot him in the beginning, but since I don't have the silencer mod equipped, I usually like avoiding drawing attention to myself. :p I did do surprisingly well during that game (excluding the above mishap).

I did find that I practically require the quick reload mod. My problem is that I'm really used to the twitch, run-n-gun FPS games (Unreal, Quake, etc.), and I tend to run all the time. So, I would always interrupt my reloads by running, which wasn't good when I ran into someone. :p I usually don't interrupt my reloads with the reload mod, which is very helpful.

I am a bit of a noob at the game, so hopefully, I'm not misunderstanding anything. I am pretty certain that it is there, and that I disabled it, which might not be a good call.

That is a personal call, there is no real right answer. I would say having it off is better if nobody is lagging but it is a necessity if the laggers are in your room. The reason is the aim assist will lock on to the target where they really are instead of where your screen is falsely reporting them, so if you get used to just pulling the trigger when it moves it can make a huge difference.

I pick Black ops 1, the original will always be my favouriite no.2 totally ruined the whole zombie thing. They should have just added new maps to number 1. :biggrin:

I enjoy all COD games and hate getting into the whole "this COD was better than that COD". However, I will agree that the zombie maps on BO1 so far are superior to the zombie maps on BO2. My fav is the one with George Romero in the ice setting one.

I haven't tried to the new zombie map with this latest map pack so maybe this one will redeem itself.

So I finally got a chance to play the new maps on PS3. Been so busy lately, hadn't had to play BO2 much at all.

Anyway, the new maps are really fun. I think they did an awesome job w/ the 4 new MP maps. Haven't touched the zombie one yet.

And boy am I loving the peacekeeper. It feels like the perfect mix between a SMG and AR. It's got pretty decent starting range, but it's fire power seems to be pretty strong compared to other SMGs. I normally go w/ 3 attachments (long barrel/silencer + 2 of the following: laser, FMJ, RDS, fast mags).

Yeah the peacemaker is nice. I golded it yesterday. Pretty much the perfect gun for me with the 870 a nice supplement.

Welp I was mistaken.

They did release a map that was part of the last DLC for MW3 called Raid on top of 4 completely new maps.

I just never saw one of the new maps (Downhill) for ages due to always being put into a small subset of maps most times for some reason.

I'm liking the new SMG though.

Something is screwy w/ the probation system. Twice tonight I've gotten a 5 minute probation for quitting games...except the only thing is, I HADN'T QUIT ANY GAMES!

I would leave a lobby and try to join another one and boom, I get hit w/ probation. WTF.

This game is crap, the first blops was a way better game. Sure the point assignment is really nice but the over all feel and map design on this one is down right terrible

I've learned to slow down my game considerably on this game. Whereas I started out with the MSMC/PDW like most other people, now I'll play with the AN-94 with adjustable stock and reflex sight with my secondary as dual Kap-40s. Kap-40s recently got handicapped a bit...most likely because everyone was using them and MLG Dallas is this weekend.

It is the dumbest thing to come to video games. Giving you a 1 minute or even a 5 minute probation does nothing. All it does is give me time to go take a piss or get something to eat. Its really annoying when it glitches like this too.

Die Rise is amazingly fun, a real redeemer map for BO2 Zombies.
