i dont think they will release anything until the new dlc has been out for a bit, wouldn't make any money sense, whats holding it back apparently is the decision to release Radiant with the tools, and whats holding that back is more bucks via map packs, once they release Radiant for Black Ops why buy maps when you can make them, another problem apparently with Mod Maps, they are unranked and keeping them occupied with players may be difficult.

bladdy cheeky of them to unlock the menu option so early then... perhaps they will release some official mods first.

So basically, (as a 3 day old player of Blops), I should just buy all the DLC's and get on with it?

Also - please could you pro's recommend some perks for a player starting out? I am level 18 now, using the FAMAS (but unlocked the AK47u) , Red Dot, Fast Reload, Rapid Fire, Claymores, Frags, Flak Jacket, Mask blah blah. I chose Assault first obviously, is this fine?

btw - Steam name is " Snotpoodle "

First perk should always be Ghost, to be upgraded to Ghost Pro as soon as possible to avoid those irritating aircraft. Your third perk should be Hacker, in order to spot those pesky claymores. Once you are comfortable you can practice with other setups. In the end you will find the combination that works for you.

for perks i started out with Ghost-ninja-hardened, it used to take me almost til the end to get them all pro around lvl36, now i get them easily by lvl 24, i got bored with this as it became easy to aquire, so i tried something new, steady aim-marathon-lightfoot, completely different gameplay and very fast when all on pro, love getting headshots with aim from the hip whilst firing popcorn everywhere:D Also nice to start of charging until the enemy calls in a spy plane or heli then swap profiles

Marathon, sleight of hand, light weight and AK74u... once you get sleight of hand pro you're unstoppable - For running n gunning

If you prefer a more laid back approach go Ghost, *anything* and ninja.

Yeah, but the update was only to SP. I left steam open, so hopefully the download (for dlc) is done by the time I get home.

Thanks for the matches last night Sharkbait, learnt a lot from the replays.

Yeah, we didn't hold back, because the idea was that you guys would use the replays to maybe learn something. Jansen, Fibretek and Phacet has got this program thingy that they play everyday that helps you with aiming. I haven't done it myself yet, but I will ask them if I can give you the name and then you guys can just go download it. Helps a lot.

But, you guys have improved a lot. Thanx for the game, was fun!

Ja... a hard lesson... getting my G35's today so at least next time I'll have ESP.

Nice. Now you will be called a hacker as well. :p

USB have their own sound board / driver, so u not stuck to plain old stereo from normal jack into the onboard sound card. Go look at Matrix Wharehouse, they have a set for R400. Its the Zixxa e-95. Has 5.1 digital suround sound. The build is really good (for chinese -well actually my set has outlasted all my previous headsets by miles!)

Shot, ive sourced some in Durbs, they got them today and will be logged in and available 3 / 4 this arvo, i wanted to spend half that to be honest, but then thought i might as well pay 400 for these, rather than a temp R200 set and get another better set later.
Edit: there is not one image of these headphones out of the box on the net, in fact theres just one pic of them in the box in the entire interverse

Thanks, if you can get the name of it, anything helps at this stage! :) We did improve, and to be honest it is just from watching PRO's more than anything else... ;)
