Call of Duty: Black Ops Title Update 4 Released

admin — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 09:35:48 +0000

Today around 3:30AM Treyarch has released a Title Update 4 for Call of Duty: Black Ops on the Xbox 360.

If you have not received this update yet, the only way to force the update is to clear your system cache. This is safe to do, however, you will need to update every game that has any updates when you pop the disc in, which is not too much an inconvenience as Xbox Title Updates are fast as it is anyways

Go to System Settings under My Xbox on your Dashboard, then go to Memory and press the (Y) button over your Hard Drive and the 3rd option down will be to “Clear System Cache”, press the (A) button and select Yes. Then load the game, and you will get the latest update for Black Ops.

Are there new Contracts? Yes, there are! Finally.

Issues Addressed:

Resolved several issues with parties getting disbanded unexpectedly.
Updated handling for UPnP-enabled routers to improve matchmaking conditions where users had strict or moderate NAT types. Also added in-game communications so that all players are aware of their NAT type in the Player Match party lobby.
Addressed issue that prevented the “Load MP by Default” option from saving when other specific option combinations were set.
Prevention of exploit that allowed players to keep custom classes and killstreaks after prestige.
Addressed an issue where Flak Jacket Pro would not always protect against ground fires left by Napalm Strikes.
Prevention of users losing their killstreak reward when switching classes at the start of a new round in round-based game modes.
Addressed an issue where the incorrect perks would appear when spectating another player under certain circumstances.
Added round start explosive delay to China Lake grenade launcher to give it the same round start limitations as other explosives.
Contracts will now reset when the player Prestiges.
Prevention of Valkyrie rocket exploding upon release under rare conditions.
Prevention of Gunship failing to give player full control under rare conditions.
Prevention of an issue where a player will get teleported outside the map boundaries under very specific circumstances.
Additional security measures to enhance detection and banning capabilities.

Gameplay Tuning:

Limit the ability to re-roll supply drops using Hardline Pro to Care Packages only, no other killstreak drops.
Added a negative influencer to all spawn points to decrease the chances of spawning near an enemy. This will further improve spawning protection on top of previous updates.
Additional sound mix tuning for Ninja Pro users – increased ranges and volume of enemy footsteps, and removed player footstep sounds on concrete material types.
Increased headshot multipliers for sniper rifles. Sniper rifles with suppressors equipped will now always be ensured one-shot kill headshots.
Subtle increase in sniper rifle accuracy when scoping in.
Added a render delay to the red diamond player indicators that appear when controlling the Gunship, Valkyrie Rocket and Chopper Gunner. When a player first spawns, this will not appear for a period of time.
Additional minor reductions in knife lunge.

Activision did not want Modern Warfare

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:00:11 +0000

I am more than happy to hear that Infinity Ward fought for these titles to be released. I do not know what heads over at Activision think that such a title would be a risk. What type of people are they actually asking or who was doing the marketing research to think that no one would want such a title? These guys should be instantly fired from the company.

Why? The outcome was fucking crazy, ignore Modern Warfare 2 sells for a moment and just take a look at just Call of Duty 4. Yup, not much a risk anymore was it Activision and now you are rich. Not many people want games of the past anymore. Everybody is loving Modern this and that. Examples: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Medal of Honor, Battlefield Series and others.

Former Infinity Ward bosses Vince Zampella and Jason West said last year that Activision never wanted to create a Modern Warfare title – and the studio had to “fight” to convince the publisher to let them create CoD4.

Zampella and West were sensationally ousted from their positions yesterday – after Activision security ‘stormed’ Infinity Ward HQ in California. The publisher accused some Infinity Ward staff – thought to be West and Zampella – of ‘insubordination’.

But it appears disagreement between the parties was nothing new. In October last year, Zampella and West discussed their differences of opinion with Activision to OPM. West even said Infinity Ward had to “fight for everything” with their owners.

Zampella added: “Activision also did not want Modern Warfare. They thought working on a modern game was risky and [thought], ‘oh my god you can’t do that, it’s crazy!’ They were doing market research to show us we were wrong the whole time,” he said.

Mistical goes 52-3-8 in a random CoD4 match

Ridiculously sick. Enjoy it.

Some Changes You’ll Notice Over CoD4

admin — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:27:45 +0000

1. UAV’s can now be shot down. Same still goes for helicopters and the AC130.
2. Double weapon attachments, red dot and silencer anyone?
3. New kill streaks.
4. But with new kill streaks comes death streaks also come with this. After 3 consecutive deaths players will be able to choose their death streaks. They will need to unlock some of these, the default you get is Copycat which allows that player to steal his killer’s class for one round and get a taste of more advanced weapons and perks. Painkiller is another one which awards players 10 seconds of extra health after they have just respawned.
5. Secondary weapons. There is no longer a slot for your pistol it has been replaced with secondary weapons, so if you want to be a sniper and carry a shotgun, you can now.
6. New attachments for your weapons include a heartbeat sensor, thermal scope, tactical knife and more.
7. Riot shields! You can not shoot and hold it at the same time though but you can bash people with it. While not carrying it, you carry it on your back giving you protection from behind.
8. A capture the flag mode is here, which you all probably know if you have seen the flag runner multiplayer video.

The list is not limited to this and there is more details to come so look out for more update posts here as more details come in.

Infinity Ward: Two-player the ‘magic number’ for co-op

admin — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 04:15:52 +0000

I am disappointed that there will only be a max of two-player co-op but if you ask me, I still think that Infinity Ward is hiding something and that we will see some type of four-player mode which just may be a zombie mode.

Two-player is the “magic number” for co-op, Infinity Ward has said. The last Call of Duty game, Treyarch’s World at War, featured four-player campaign co-op and a bonus four-player survival Zombie Mode.

Modern Warfare 2, due out worldwide on November 10, won’t have a campaign co-op mode at all. Instead it will have a two-player Special Ops mode, “designed to be replayed over and over again”.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com, Robert Bowling, director of communications/community manager at Infinity Ward, explained the decision, saying it didn’t want to “ruin the story by cramming co-op into it”.

He said: “We don’t do co-op in our story because we’re crafting a very specific experience and we don’t want to ruin that by cramming co-op into it. We take the moments that work really well with co-op, we bring them out and we put them in Special Ops.”

“Story’s all about pacing,” he added. “Sometimes moments get toned down because they don’t fit with the pacing of the experience you’re trying to deliver. There (in Special Ops) it’s all about fun. It’s about playing over and over again, getting a better time – you’ll have a time at the end of it – it’s about challenging a friend going in on co-op and trying to beat it on veteran.”

When asked why Special Ops was limited to two players, not four, Bowling replied: “Two player seemed to be the magic number for co-op. That’s when it stayed really fun and intense without becoming a clusterf**k of things. We just found that two-players was the most fun.”

Call of Duty 4 Title Update – Hack and Mod Free

admin — Sat, 02 May 2009 16:56:42 +0000

Robert Bowling (fourzerotwo) just tweeted that the Call of Duty 4 Title Update for Xbox 360 is now Hack and Mod free. Not that I personally came across this (maybe) but at least I will not now. If you are unfamiliar Call of Duty: World at War had the same similar update last week in its update to fix the same thing going on with hacks and mods there too.

CoD 4 versus CoD WaW Usage

admin — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 10:10:17 +0000

World At War Sees Less Play Than CoD4? According to GamerDNA analyst Sanya Weathers, who is a former Director of Community for Mythic Entertainment, 64.7 percent of its sampled members have played CoD4 since its November 2007 launch.

“At least ten million copies of the game have sold, but that figure represents sales across all platforms (Gears was initially available only on the Xbox 360, as Gears 2 is at the present time),” Weathers notes. “It too offers a multiplayer component.”

Sales figures for Call of Duty: World at War are harder to pin down, although recent compiled NPD data noted that it sold 4.63 million copies across all formats in the U.S. in 2008. 23 percent of GamerDNA members played World at War title 49 days after its release. But Call Of Duty 4, at the same point in its cycle, had garnered 42 percent of the population.

CoD4 “complete”, no more updates

admin — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 13:11:30 +0000

We will not be seeing anymore updates out of Infinity Ward for CoD4. Meaning, no new playlists and no new maps. This is pretty much certain as fourzerotwo himself strongly suggested this.

They have already moved onto their next project (CoD6). It is not like most have not known this for a while though, we were only given one map pack, which was not that great to say the least. We stopped playing CoD4 anyways at the beginning of October 2008.
