Black Ops: How NOT to suck

The Glue of imMatureGamer writes...

"First and foremost, before I begin I’d just like to emphasize that like anything else one plays on their PS3, PSP or 360, Call Of Duty Black Ops is primarily a GAME, and should be a vehicle of entertaining diversion for us as gamers.

For those of you out there who take this game and what happens while you’re logged in online too seriously, please understand: This isn’t anyone’s “job.” You’re not being paid to finish in the top 3. You’re Kill To Death Ratio is NOT going to get you laid.

That being said, there is still a certain level of etiquette to be observed, and there are several tips to be had that might not make you 1337, but can at least help you bring yourself out of the n00b pool."

seeing that black ops, or any call of duty, for that matter, does not require skill, this article is quite pointless...

CYCLEGAMER5293d ago (Edited 5293d ago )

Try playing call of duty online without any skill or practice you will get slaughtered every 7 seconds.

Washington-Capitals5293d ago

Every game requires some skill, holding a controller and moving your thumb around requires skill forget the game itself. Sometimes people here... shessh, you think that just because its fashionable here on N4G to hate Call OF duty you can make dumb commments like that and expect people to agree with you? Come on.

call of duty does not require skill?? wtf

MGRogue20175293d ago (Edited 5293d ago )

... That is quite a stupid comment. =/

You need to hold the left trigger, aim with the right-stick & shoot in fast succession & also do so within a very very short time constraint in order to kill some very skilled opponents on the other team .. otherwise you are as good as dead.

Basically, You see the enemy running in the distance? Shoot him immediately. You see the enemy in front of you, Shoot him immediately 'cause If you don't... you are dead, that's what Call of Duty has turned into.. lol

That sounds like skill to me dude..

/obvious

zeddy5293d ago

how not to suck all you have to do is not put the disc in.

RedDragan5293d ago

The first comment should have been....

Step 1: Don't buy a sh1t game!

Christopher5292d ago

I love how people complain about camping. Question, if it's so bad, why do people complain about it since it would seem they would love campers since they're easy kills? The answer is that people complain about campers because they work against their desire for everyone to just run and gun like them. They want to have a chance to cross that open area without that guy who knows how idiotic others are and will continue to try to cross it rather than thinking differently.

You don't see snipers/campers complaining about run and gunners, you really shouldn't do the same since you're creating the desire for it by playing the same way rather than thinking tactically.

Tell that to MLG Pros...

PRHB HYBRiiD5293d ago

mine is 3.00 is that at least a fat chick for me for one night?

Ugh! She looks like that guy who pretended to be a rat in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

DoomeDx5293d ago

Most important tip:

Forget about your K/D and just try to have fun!

I swear to god, if everyone thinks that way, Call of Duty is a billions times better!

(Admit it, you care about your ratio, even though you know its shit, if not, respect to you)

PRHB HYBRiiD5293d ago

very true.... also if they take the noob tubes out it would be much better

Static-X5293d ago

.... and Second Chance -_-

visualb5293d ago

yeah K/D is pointless if you don't enjoy it =)

taking it too seriously is truly fail =)

Omega Archetype5293d ago

Meh I do care about it, but not because I'm trying to be the best player ever (or best of my friends,) but because I know I can do good at the game. When I play these online games I'm playing them competitively and for fun.

It's almost like a sports team, they're trying to win right? Well so am I, but I do try to keep my K/D up simply for myself, not for bragging rights. It's kinda like a goal I set for myself.

Zydake5293d ago

actually TBH when i didnt care about K/D ratio i got pissed cause 1 after 1 a damn guy would kick my ass. But now since I care a bit more it's more fun to me because i play more tactical and use Killstreaks.

starcb265292d ago

As long as i'm above a 1.0 k/r i'm good.

Mr Tretton5293d ago

The auto aim is stupidly strong that sometimes it messes me up. It makes me do what I don't want to. They really should tone it down.

MGRogue20175293d ago (Edited 5293d ago )

... Turn it off then?

You'll be at a serious disadvantage against the other players though, of course..

Mr Tretton5293d ago

I'm pretty sure you can't turn off auto aim in MP

vickers5005293d ago

@Mr Tretton

Yeah, you can. Go into the options, and there's the option to turn it off if you choose to.

PRHB HYBRiiD5293d ago

u do not want to play black ops with auto aim off...i played every single cod game with auto aim off but with black ops idk what they have done its just impossible to play good with that option off.

0oAngeluso05293d ago

t\The only stat I care about in any COD game is Win/Loss and my own personally fun level.
I absolutely hate it when I play Domination or Demolition and people just camp and don't go for objectives. Also would it kill people to set up their classes with secondary launchers? I mean why am I the only one who can take down the enemy killstreaks?
Lastly, why does everyone run with high killstreaks? My teammates almost always run with 7, 9, 11 and hardly ever get them. Our team would be so much better if everyone simply ran 3, 5, 7 like COD4 and COD WaW. I miss those locked in streaks to be honest.

BlueEye5293d ago

Just go to that one game mode where the Killstreaks ARE locked at 3 (Spy Plane) 5 (Napalm Strike) and 7 (Attack Helicopter)

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH131d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt132d ago

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.

Abear21132d ago

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

M_Prime131d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils131d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg132d ago (Edited 132d 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

jznrpg132d ago (Edited 132d 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.
