Misconceptions of Call of Duty: Black Ops Combat Training mode cleared up

There has been a tremendous amount of confusion regarding the Combat Training feature introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Essentially, this mode allows you face AI opponents and, theoretically, helps those who are not quite used to Call of Duty multiplayer, or just rusty, practice. It’s totally separate from online and your friends can join in, so, it’s multiplayer “offline”. Ugh, confusing! So, to clear up things a bit, and possibly enrage a few of you, is Treyarch’s Design Directory – David ‘Vahn’ Vonderhaar.

at least i can practice when i join in late because ill wait till after xmas

jetlian5369d ago

don't like the online only part though. I probably will never touch this mode anyway

Longrod_Von_Hugendon5369d ago

Really could have used this in MW2.

Relientk775369d ago

I wonder if the bots have hard difficulties, this could be good training for online. However, nothing really compares to the real thing now does it

Triggs5369d ago

Correct, human opponents are they way to go if one has to develop the skills in a multiplayer game. AI Bots will be predictable in the end and their weaknesses will be easy to exploit. I would see this mode as the best way to know the maps, though, aside from private matches or empty servers.

Paralex5368d ago

I think the mode is to gain map knowledge more instead of practicing gun "skill". It's a good way to practice the new guns you've unlocked, practice routes around the maps, or just a finger warmup. Human opponents can either be weak or strong in an actual ranked match. I think this is a good practice without getting your ass handed to you, especially for those late adopters on Christmas day.

I'm still confused, does that mean local bot battles? I hated MW2 split-screen because it was only me and my friend that was going at it.

Relientk775369d ago

I hope it lets u and a couple friends have matches with bots, like 4 player split screen, so 4 human players and a # of bots

that would be awesome and intense. I'd enjoy that

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

YourMommySpoils130d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
