Apparently there is a prestige glitch. I have received two messages about it so far. Kind of lame, but oh well. Maybe they'll fix it and demote all the cheaters.
 
I ran 3, 4, 5 kills (SAM turret, Care Package, Sentry Gun) as you could re-roll all of them.

Any why Gunship, I think the Huey is much deadlier and easier to control...the Gunship it too slow.
 
11 kills is the Gunship, that's the one you pilot yourself. The Huey is the one that circles the sky and you just shoot.
 
I meant Huey. I never get any kills when I get Gunship. Whatever the 11 kill streak one is is the one I roll.

11 streak one is gunship, and it's got some mean turrets. Like a little touch and people die.

I actually like the dogs now as they can't shoot it down.
 
the dogs are def the best kill streak. The gunship is only good if everyone isnt having rocket launchers as back up. I personally like the gunship over the chopper gunner because you get rockets with it. i blow up everything in sight and get a lot of collateral damage kills.
 
I do much better in the self piloted one. People can't hind from me when I am moving around the map at my own pace.


I had dogs for awhile, but I switched to gunship. I just like enjoy it more since I am usually out of bullets by the time I get to 11.
 
I don't often get to it, but my fav. combo is dogs + huey. Love calling out dogs, and then getting my huey up. Then, the enemy has to deal with my dogs while trying to shoot down my huey.

I usually roll with spyplane+napalm+heuy most of the time.
 
SR-71 is so OP, I can't not run it. I also don't mind care package because at the least I get some extra ammo. Last night my friend rerolled one of my packages (which I always save until I die, strange as that may sound) into dogs. Best part, was I got my gunship right before I died. That combo was pretty broken.

Dogs are easy to kill though. Sure there's alot of 'em but a few bullets and they're dead. Typically I get alot fewer kills with dogs than with the choppers.

The rockets are nice, but the movement/aiming of the thing is really slow. I always get more kills with a CG.

The effectiveness of the dogs depends on the maps and gametype. I guess it is the same with the chopper gunner as well though.
 
Had some good rounds with pimpj & some of his buds. I started off doing pretty good, but after a bit I wasn't doing worth a crap.

I did manage to get the Melee two enemies consecutively in 5 seconds for Steady aim, now just need a few more kills with it to get pro.

id agree at dogs being extremely powerful. they might not get you the largest number of kills but hold hell they distract everyone, in team games its a massive win for your team.

and i think all but 1 of my classes has a rocket launcher on it, i shoot down so much shit
 
Played a little bit so far this morning with the new update. it seems like the games fill up better now once people leave, can't say for sure because it might just be the time of day that I'm playing.
One big thing I noticed which I was hoping for is new contracts! I've been getting tired of the same ones rotating. I just completed one for 1000credits/1000xp for getting 80 kills (with rifle) in 40 minutes.
 
Any PS3 owners still have problems post-patch? The official Black Ops forums are going apocalyptic because they are still having problems connecting to games and staying in them.

I've been wishing for new contracts as well, great to hear!!

I think it was the same for everyone. We were doing good, then we joined a couple rooms where people just would not die even when I had the jump on them. At that point I called it a night cause it just wasn't fun.

Steady aim pro is great, I just got it again for the 2nd time earlier this week. I think you'll like it. Sleight of Hand is great too. I'm working on that currently.
 
What is the point of the contracts? I mean, I never spend any of my money and I just plan on prestiging again as soon as possible. I think I've purchased anything I'd ever want (the few guns I use and stuff). I guess they help at lower level for building money quickly, but other than that what is the point?

I usually do the easy ones (so many kills with silencer / dual mag / certain guns / positive k/d / 15 domination kills ) but I just do them because they are there.
 
I am something like 320-4 on contracts, I get them as, like prestiging, they give me something to work towards. That and some of 'em give me XP bonuses.

Why don't you spend your money? I'm about to hit 2nd prestige and I'm broke with plenty to buy. It's expensive unlocking all the layers for your emblem.

yep, I've bought all the emblems (except for the ones you unlock each prestige level) and now i'm going to buy whatever carries over for your weapons (camo i think?)
