Call of Duty: Black Ops

[Hopeless]

And we didn't kick ya to the cold, we had 9 in our party in Ground War and we were in a room that wasn't populating.

Just razzing you. Yeah shortly after I joined I noticed no one was coming in. Got dropped to a personal lobby & waited a little for invite. Didn't get one so I just moved on to working on Ninja pro.

 

[Hopeless]

i rarely even get spy planes.

Been there also. I've been using hardline so just need 2 kills for spy plane or RC car.

For anyone who's struggling to destroy a Sentry Gun for Ghost Pro, I have a solution. I was contemplating not prestiging again because of how difficult it's become to find a Sentry Gun nowadays, then this morning I had an idea.

Free-For-All. Get a few AnandTechers or other friends in an FFA game with you and it should be super easy, just be in party chat, get the CP containing said gun, get both of you in a corner, set up gun, knife, win. Just make sure it's facing in a safe direction!

you cant bring a party into FFA.... i guess you could try to join mid games etc..

If party doesn't work, maybe private chat would.

If this game is like every other CoD game, send the invites, switch right before they accept the invite and BLAM-O! Party in non party gametypes. Or just join mid game with friends and then it is easy to get them done. If we can get 12 people willing to do it (two parties of six) we can all join in a Domination game and farm those hard to get pros. As long as nobody captures a point, I believe the game will not stop. I don't believe there is a time limit, just a first to 200 wins.

You can't bring a party to FFA, but at least 50% of the time I play FFA the game isn't full, you can send invites from the lobby or in-game to bring people in.

Playing whole game and farming for Pro perks is a bit over the top for me, but it would take just a few mins max to get the Sentry Gun.

It's funny, when I use ghost trying to get ghost pro I never find sentry guns. If I run hardline, i see shitloads of them. Maybe I should run hardline and then if i see one get killed and switch to a ghost class

That is so true, you never seem to have the right class equipped. Worse for me is when I'm working on Sleight of Hand and Warlord, I'll get grenade multikills like crazy when I have SoH and when I have Warlord I'll get lots of "down an enemy, reload, kill" moments.

At least once a day I get a Sentry gun and a sentry gun kill... I don't understand how people are finding it hard to get Ghost Pro. I had my sentry gun kill LONG before I got my 30 planes shot down. I am not exaggerating when I say I get at least one sentry gun kill per day.

Get hacker, play Domination, kill sentry guns, get Ghost pro...

I agree, I got my Sentry Gun kill really early on as well, but since the patch I've seen a drastic decline in the amount of said guns used, to the point that one of my buddies has been trying to get it since around lvl 15, he's not in the mid-40's. He runs Hacker and plays lots of Domination, the numbers are just WAY down.

He's talking about your game party, not party chat.

There was a MW2 FFA glitch that you could get you and 3 friends into the same lobby, and no one else could join it.

Become party leader, join a regular TDM lobby, and wait for your party to show up. When they're all there, back out and quickly join a FFA lobby. If your friends time it right and back out of the TDM lobby, it'll kick them right into your FFA lobby.

CoD4 had one for 1v1, W@W had a similar glitch, and MW2 had one. The lobby system was always glitched in CoD games... You'd think they would fix it.

There was a 1v1 glitch in MW2 as well, before they removed that game type.

So, I helped a friend get Ghost Pro in an FFA game and we had a 7 of the 8 people in the game as friends. Then we decided to have everyone make a custom class with an Olympia. It was SO much fun, but after one game we decided we should move to a private match so we don't destroy our kill/win ratios.

It was fantastic. As the host I can create a specific class that everyone has to use, I can make it so that dying removes points, etc. I made one class that was Olympia/Ballistic Knife, Lightweight, SoH, and Marathon and we went to town. On top of that we had more guys join so we had 10-11 people playing FFA that style.

It was absolute win, we'll be doing it again.

I saw you playing FFA last night.. next time I'll be in on that Had to play with some co-workers since I have been appearing offline to avoid them for a while, haha.

I switched up my killstreaks a bit last night and started using SR-71 instead of napalm and that killstreaks owns so bad. I get ridiculous kills from knowing where the enemies are, much more than the 1-4 kills on average from napalm.

 

[Kabob]

SR-71 is one of the best killstreaks around. Considering how rapidly my choppers are being shot down nowadays I'm thinking I may switch to that.

 

[Kev]

I average 6.8 kills per chopper gunner and I get it at least once every 3 or 4 matches so it's still worth it to me. I also have blackbird set up so once im done my CG I can use the blackbird to help me get another one.

Me and a couple of my friends all run with launchers and it's usually a competition to see who can shoot down their air support the fastest, so we're pretty annoying to chopper users.

However not everyone is like that. There are times where you'll be matched up against a bunch of donkeys, like last night when I got the chopper on jungle and went 36-4 with my chopper not even getting a lock-on warning.

Yeah I am still in love with chopper gunner. Once in a while i get up against a team with ghost pro and/or all armed with strelas, but that's not normally the case.

My best match so far was on jungle where i went something like 71-3 and had 2 chopper gunners.

I'm currently running spy plane/SR-71/Chopper gunner and it's been working pretty good.

 

[SunnyD]

Hahaha... that was great. Last night on nuketown, I sat in the corner of a garage, dropped a jammer, and took out probably a dozen people that continually ran through right by my. Hell, I even got killed a couple times, but went right back and did the same thing. You'd think that after the second or third time on the killcam, people would either spray the wall from the outside where I was camped or actually slide in looking for me instead of running right on by.

It didn't say you were in private match or FFA last night before I joined. After I saw that I had to bail. I'm not good enough for FFA yet and would rather do normal as I still need xp to unlock things and COD$ to buy it.

I had three Huey's yesterday, two of which got me a total of 1 kill (both shot down instantly, one I got a kill while going down though). The third one I did alright with, but the others were wasted. I think I'd have done better for myself with an SR-71.

omgosh samesies!

 

[SwampDog35]

I need a little help. I was on for almost 2 hours last night playing with my regular guys on TDM and got connection interrupted over a dozen times. I went to a FFA match and went 30-8 and 30-13..... Was only able to complete those FFA matches. Any suggestions on what I might have set wrong? Thanks for the help!

Yah, it's been like that for me recently as well. Which is why I equip dogs...just in case. Love getting free kills.

 

[smackababy]

Did the Chopper Gunner / Dogs combo yesterday. Yeah, amazing... Never switching off these.

 

[sygyzy]

Wow, did the latest patch totally mess up multiplayer? I have been experiencing all sorts of matchmaking issues and even when it makes it into the game, it often quits after it tries to migrate unsuccessfully a few times.

I usually roll spy plane, napalm, chopper. If Grid, Havanna, or Jungle pops up I change replace napalm with Dogs.

The dogs are f'n ridiculous overpowered.

 

[smackababy]

The dogs are f'n ridiculous overpowered.

I usually only get a few kills with them. But when used in conjunction with chopper gunner, they are amazing. They keep those people from hiding in buildings and getting the rockets off while I just clean up.

 

[PimpJuice]

The dogs are f'n ridiculous overpowered.

They're easy to avoid. We were playing Launch yesterday with Kabobs crew and when dogs were called we just took defensive positions and mowed them down. I don't think more than 2-4 people even died.

yea the can be handled but in general they do cause some pretty epic confusion for the other team
