GameSpot's Multiplayer Walkthrough

Its an hour long. It will take forever to buffer with my 384Kbs line.

I'm busy downloading it, but I see it is 1.2GB big!!!!!
Will check it out. Thanks

 

[Slaught3r]

Slayer, can I pick it up from you this afternoon?

 

[Slayeruser]

yeah, sure.
I just scanned through the clip and it is way too long....... It has alot of info, but it gets boring just watching. I want to play and I want to play now!!!!!!!

 

[SirFooK'nG]

OK Dudes .... I'm going to play with Osiris's clan [DoG] for black ops. We have signed up for a dedi (3 months at this point) ... gettin excited !!

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Bit off topic but I have a question ....... The clans you guys have mentioned right, you're obviously just casual clans? Reason I ask is coz you don't seem to be 'serious' about one particular game for long enough to be 'serious'. Or you're like my clan and have different teams for different games?

Just curious

Yes and no... SoS was basically just a group of friends gaming together not a "clan" in every aspect. We tried a tournament and got beaten senseless. But =Q= is a more "serious" clan as you put it. They have one or two guys spanning different games, but mostly they concentrate on MW2. We will definitely have a team that concentrates on BO though... Expect a lashing cause we are talking about 4/5 servers and from 40 members we should be able to build quite a team...

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Yeah we have enough guys to possibly make a hardcore BO team and to bother getting a server. So like I said, keep a look out for ={USN}=

I'll stick with the cod4 team for now though, that's where I shine

 

[SirFooK'nG]

Like Slaughter said... our old SoS clan was more fun than anything else. But we did gain a ton of experience and game time! I can tell you that there are about 5 or 6 ex SoS who can really play well! Once we get used to the new gameplay of BO, it gonna be really fun to shoot the ol boys!

BTW what do you guys think of the new way that kill-streaks work? U dont add to your kill-streak with kills made by kill-streaks .... could be very interesting. I think it levels the playing field a bit!

 

[Kyubi_ZA]

We have both casual players and guys that make a team to play clannies in our clan. Although, We play just for fun and dont really care of we win/lose. Its more us playing and having fun together. We do have some really good players in our Clan though We didn't do bad in both the MW2 leagues. We where like 5th/6th in both leagues.

No Nuke Its such a disappointment.

The new system could be interesting. It was a bit too easy with Modern Warfare 2, but at the same time I hope it doesn't take away the fun from the game.

Edit: There's going to be a lot more campers now going for big killstreaks. It will be hard to kill them in public servers because of 9v9

No Nuke Its such a disappointment.

Not for me......... never got one!!!!!!
Never even bothered as well!!!

What would be the quickest way to buy the game - Steam or BT Games?

If both are released on the same day then it would probably be better to get the disc, but if you can start downloading it already on Steam and just play when it is released, that would be better.

Any advice?

*Doh - http://mygaming.co.za/news/news/8179-Black-Ops-gets-Steamworks-available-pre-order.html

It can be pre-downloaded.

 

[Kyubi_ZA]

It depends what line you have. If you have a 4mb line it may be quicker with steam. If you pre-order from Take 2 etc, the game may get delivered on the 10th. They only start shipping on the 9th. You can go to some stores and pick it up on the 9th of the shelves. I am not sure which stores though.

I seen BT Games having a midnight Launch.

Check the picture on the front page.


I prefer physical copies for collection

 

[Cloud]

My MW2 physical disc stopped working, had to re-download MW2 from Steam.

I don't care for the box tbh, so Steam it is

 

[Kyubi_ZA]

According to Minimum PC requirements it is 12GB. Can that be done in a day with 4mb line?

It will be physical disk for me, as I only have 2GB per month.

Kalahari said I should get it on the 9th. I am taking the wait and see approach...
