Call of Duty: Black Ops pre-orders surpass Modern Warfare 2

admin — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:54:26 +0000

If pre-order sales are any indication, Call of Duty: Black Ops will likely be one of the best selling titles for the next year.

GameStop announced today Activision’s newest shooter is tracking ahead of last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which has since gone on to sell over 20 million copies worldwide.

“GameStop is tracking to all-time, record reservations on Call of Duty: Black Ops,” said GameStop SVP of merchandising Bob McKenzie. “We are ahead of where we were with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 last year, which previously set the industry standard.”

Just 2 nights ago now, Diallo reached 100,000 Kills in Modern Warfare 2. This comes 2 weeks after Mistical just reached 100,000 Kills though the game was not played daily since then.

Late last night, Mistical finally reached 100,000 Kills in Modern Warfare 2. It only took 22 days, 23 hours and 39 minutes to do so. Congrats.

Diallo is coming up next, in the screenshot he has 93,325 but at the moment he has a few hundred than that already as of this post. He should be at 100,000 within around two weeks.

Today is the last day for the Double XP Week+. It will end sometime early on Monday morning. If you have not already, grab the new map pack too. It is definitely worth the 1200MSP/$15 this time around. I am glad to be playing Strike again. Related posts: CoD:WaW Double XP Weekend Black Ops Double XP Weekend Starts [...] Related posts:

Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Map Pack Screenshots

admin — Fri, 14 May 2010 20:12:06 +0000

The following maps will be in the upcoming Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Map Pack, due June 3rd, 2010. In order of appearance below: Strike and Vacant from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Then 3 new maps titled Fuel, Trailer Park and Carnival.

I am glad that all the new maps are during the day and no “night time and/or rainy” maps are in this final map pack we will most likely ever see for Modern Warfare 2.

Strike from Call of Duty 4 to Modern Warfare 2: You will notice a few changes in just this picture alone, then the original Strike in COD4. Which is personally my favorite map from COD4 and I am glad MW2 is getting it.

Vacant from Call of Duty 4 to Modern Warfare 2: This map as well from COD4 has some changes done to it then from the original Vacant in COD4.

Fuel: I think this map will be one of my favorite new maps in MW2. Minus the sniping aspect of it. Completely unique from the other maps. The setting is an oil refinery and is split into two sections. One area is wide-open for snipers and the other half is a large warehouse with tight corridors.

Trailer Park: Contains tight corridors and condensed areas. Very maze-like with obvious choke points. In context of the game, this map is the living quarters for the people who run the Boneyard level found in Modern Warfare 2′s singleplayer campaign. The Boneyard will be viewable in the background.

Carnival: Desolate amusement park with excellent vantage points for snipers. It’s “unlike anything we’ve ever done before,” said Bowling. The map takes place during the daytime and includes all original art and model assets. Bowling added that the team really wanted to include this in the first map pack, but the team needed additional time for polish. It’s a fairly large map and includes many set pieces, such as roller-coasters, a fun house, and bumper cars.

People’s definition today of camping is far from correct

admin — Thu, 13 May 2010 01:53:14 +0000

I do not know about you, but today I am pretty sure that the word most commonly used after a game is “camping” in one context or another.

But what people do not realize, 90% of the time, is that no one was really camping. I will start with a few examples of what camping is and what camping is not. I will use Modern Warfare 2 in these examples as well but you can use these with pretty much any game out there.

For someone to be camping, they hardly move anywhere throughout the entire match. I do not know about you, but if I am playing a game of Modern Warfare 2 I am not going to run and gun my way through a match. We all play this and other games differently. Majority of the people I play with, love to keep a very high kill to death ratio not only per match but in our stats as well. You can and we do, achieve this on a daily/nightly basis without ever so much as camping.

But do not say that to the other team, if they accusing you of camping. It is even better not to even explain yourself to them, just use the best feature in the lobby and/or Xbox Live the mute button (or even further, block communications if it has gone that far). You will never win such an argument that you were not camping, and it would just be a waste of time trying to explain it to these people that clearly have no idea what they are talking about. While kill cams can sometimes come to a conclusion you were camping, it is not always as it seems.

What most people do not realize is that most people are either “turtling” or just purely not camping at all but just slowly moving along the map carefully but at the same time, probably not that slow. Also when I say this, this no where implies we have or ever will move along the map “crouched” nor slowly move corner to corner. You WILL find us on the “battlefield”.

There is another problem though with the word “camping” as well. We all have one point in time camped. That is just what you will sometimes get in a game or do yourself. If you play enough, you have done it at one point or another. While it be for that next kill to get your killstreak to if you are working on a weapon that may not be the best weapon in the game to go out and try to get kills with or just anything else. We have done it for those killstreaks, if our next kill is to get a harrier, why run out to the enemy spawn area or no where where your teammates are and most likely die for nothing? We will get the kill and then proceed on throughout the map, from that spot onto the next spot while never staying anywhere long.

Now that said, that is usually what happens to those on the other team to strike you or anyone else as “camping”. That one killed, just made them really pissed off and will instantly think every kill you get, you were camping for. In which, you should just ignore/mute them and move on. Honestly, at the end of the day, it is just a fun game. Everyone is mostly out to enjoy it but you will always have those kids that try to ruin the game. I am not just talking about people who call you campers though, there are other things people do to ruin the game. But that is for another post on another day, related to 10th prestige hackers, constant one man army grenade launchers and so forth.
