The Official Call of Duty: Black Ops Thread

I was talking to my friend yesterday about this, what maps from MW2 would you like/think would be better if it were in BO?

We both agreed on Trailer Park. Without tubes and OP killstreaks, that map would be even better than it was in MW2.

Some personal favorites I'd like to see reiterated are Underpass, Carnival, and Sub-Base (would be awesome for dom in BO).

Terminal would actually be balanced without the A flag spawn rape, and BO is missing maps of this size.

Bailout minus noobtubes would be an interesting map to play, for one. I think Salvage could play intriguingly in BlOps as well due to its size and sightlines. I think there are probably quite a few maps that would fare better minus the prevalent tubes that caused them to not be fun in MW2. Also, Karachi and Invasion would be interesting if only because there aren't really maps like them in BlOps.

Salvage, Scrapyard and Underpass could be good. Just anything except fucking Estate or Fuel.

I'd also kinda want Wasteland just to shamelessly k/d whore with gunships, not that I don't already do that on Jungle

Gonna play this some more now that every other CoD is ruined by hackers. Has there been any word on if we'll get Nuketown 24/7 for the XP weekend again?

I am so happy they added the competitive playlist. Been wanting it for so long and now we finally get it. If anyone here wants to play the comp playlist with me, add me. I'm looking for people who want to tryhard with me and get better in the MLG scene. I have watched alot of videos since the game came out and I'm getting a better idea of spawns, cutoffs, nade spots, routes, callouts etc. I'm looking for people who want to get better in those areas too.

Anyone got Escalation yet? I just started the download...this'll probably take an hour or two. EDIT: ..or 50.

Anyway, I tried to play the WaW zombies maps (that I modded in to Blops) with some friends last night and found that I was unable to. This angers me greatly, because, like I've said before, I'm more than willing to purchase the maps legally if they were actually available to me. I don't like to play the victim, but I just get an odd sense that I'm being persecuted. Apparently they don't want my money and support, and instead choose to give me the finger every chance they get.

EDIT: Yep, that's what they did. If only you could sue a company for being terrible people. Then again, there wouldn't be any companies left if that were the case...

I shockingly enough bought Escalation today as a gift for my friend and myself. Still horribly overpriced, but I think me and my friend could have some fun with the zombie map. Hopefully it's as entertaining as the trailer made it out to be.

At least decided to play the multiplayer maps since I paid for it...

Zoo - A pretty bland map with nothing, but corner fighting. I hate stuff like that. Have to crawl around each corner to make sure your not killed. Kinda camper heaven I think.

Stockpile - Simple map, designed around the idea of one team getting inside the main base, shutting the doors and camping the best they can. Not a very interesting map, especially when the doors are a very easy way to suicide or grief teammates.

Hotel - Now this is a good map. You have elevators, some distinct, but not overpowered sniping areas, it looks good and different from the usual maps. The elevators I like in particular, which are simple, but I like that they are usable, with one that actually goes right up into one of the sniper windows. Easily the best of the pack so far.

Convoy - A solid map. To me, it seems like Call of Duty's answer to Homefront lol It's a smaller map, but it's not too confined and I see some pretty nice little sniper areas.

So 2 out of 4 maps being good is alright. More than I expected after watching the trailer. Not sure how it compares to the first map pack, which only had 1 interesting map, but this wasn't bad. I'm hoping for good stuff from Call of the Dead later on.

*EDIT*
Gotta hand it to Treyarch. Call of the Dead is pretty damn cool from what I've seen. The map design really stands out, the idea of a constant terror by Evil George Romero right from the start being pretty unique, then including the ways to get around the map and do things like the Easter Egg involving the original Zombie crew (You can find videos of it online for at least the first 3 parts of the Easter Egg at the moment). There's alot of thought put into this one and I'm really curious to how it goes with it's little "plot".

First impressions so far...

Call of the Dead is pretty fuckin' awesome.

Convoy is my favorite of the multiplayer.

Stockpile sucks nuts.

I'll have a full review on VGW this weekend. I'll post it here.

I just can't wait for the double XP weekend this weekend. Hopefully I can get to at least 5th prestige. I'm level 50 3rd prestige right now.

I dinged level "51" on Monday night, so I guess I could prestige any time now and be able to get through most if not all of a prestige this weekend depending on how much I play. As I'm considering finally ordering RB3 that may not be much, but you never know. Also I'll feel bad because I'll end up constantly using the FAMAS again if I prestige >_> I've mostly kicked the habit in favor of other guns so blargh that would feel terrible etc. Hrm. Double XP yay k.

Haven't played Black Ops in ages (well, sort of a lie, i played 20 minutes about 2 weeks ago) and tbh I'm kinda done with it as a multiplayer FPS. I am excited about zombies still though, and the new map looks amazing. I'm pretty sure there isn't, but there is no way to only get Call of the Dead right?

Yeah I'm with you on that. Especially when two of the 4 multiplayer maps are pretty crappy. I only caved because I thought me and close friends would enjoy it, my one buddy and me having some good fun running from Stan Lee (Yes, I know who it really is, but my buddy kept calling him that lol)

Treyarch really needs to release a game completely devoted to Nazi Zombies and the story behind it.

I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say I would buy that and that thing would sell like hotcakes.
