Spy plane is so great, im not sure why you wouldnt have that one. not only does it help you, it also helps your teammates. knowing where the enemy is and where they are coming from is too great to pass up on, especially when its a low 3 kill streak. Secondly, I dont really think the ghost perk effectively counters spy planes. I use lightweight pro and with that extra mobility can make the spy plane a liability. Sure they know where you are for a brief second, but you can really zip around on some of these maps.

I use sleight of hand pro and marathon as my second and third because they compliment my play style and they also go with lightweight.

I used Ghost exclusively as my perk 1 for all of the non-prestige leveling. Got lucky this time and saw a sentry gun via Hacker, so now I just have to shoot down air support. Strela almost unlocked again, which'll make that easier. Near the end of my leveling I tried out scavenger a little bit with a LMG class (HK + extended mags - worked out decently). Was using Nova Gas and tactical mask (didn't get pro of that) and the extra grenades came in handy now and then. I noticed that scavenger bags don't always give you ammo. Sometimes it just refills your grenade.

This prestige (1) I decided to give Hardline pro a shot. It is lolz. A lot of lolz. Went 31 - 5 in TDM on Firing Range in one of the first couple games I had the pro version unlocked. I've turned SAM turrets into Blackbirds (the actual best killstreak in the game) more than once. Gotten dogs a few times, a chopper gunner, gunship, all sorts of goodies. I learned that the Grim Reaper rocket launcher gives you 12 rockets. I shot 11 (got maybe 8 kills with 'em) and was about to shoot the 12th when the game ended.

Running 3-4-5 to still have a spy plane (and I die to either BS, bad connection/lag, or my shitty aim often enough that I don't feel like swapping the Spy Plane for a Sentry Gun). Got two rolling thunders at the same time once, too. Not liking Valkyrie Rockets. Only get two shots and it's kinda hard to aim them, even going up first and then dropping down. Might just need practice.

For now I'm keeping the 3-4-5 setup and I just change class when I earn them and call in the two packages after I've died and respawned in the Hardline Pro class.


For Perk 2, it's Sleight of Hand all the time, every time. Never been a fan of Deep Impact/FMJ, so I don't care about Hardened. Scout seems useless. I initially read that the pro version increased stability with snipers, so I was gonna give it a shot but apparently it's just switch weapons faster now which is kinda lame. Warlord is Bling. I can use the irons just fine on most of the guns, so I don't need a red dot/reflex sight. Steady Aim had potential, but it's a pain in the ass to unlock the pro version and I often ADS over hip fire spraying so it wouldn't be that useful. Plus, unlike COD4, if I'm in decent hipfire range I'm probably in knife range (bad for me). So yeah, SoH on every class.


For Perk 3 I started with Ninja, then realized it was useless beyond not hearing my elephant feet clomp around. Hacker is amazing, though, given everyone has equipment without ditching grenade/semtex. Claymores everywhere, and in Search it lets you see the claymores/cameras/motion sensors which is really helpful. It's my go-to perk 3. Working on getting Marathon pro (like, 3 flag caps and 10-ish miles left) because I want to try it out in SnD since rushing their spawn is a decent way to get points, once you figure out some good routes. I'll likely also work on Tactical Mask pro to try it out, since it has decent synergy with Scavenger Pro (and Warlord pro, I guess, but screw that).


So far every AR is really good. I've started going away from the M16 (and G11 this prestige) since they seem to be guns heavily based on your connection. Mine is ass and multiple times I've had to put two bursts into a guy dead on even though he was 15 feet away. Not a fan of the M14/FAL at the moment, but maybe down the road. For SMGs I just whore the AK-74u. If it ain't broke...

I didn't get Ghost Pro until about level 30. No one uses Sentry Gun

AK47 with silencer(one hit kill in HC) ghost pro,steady aim pro and ninja pro.

i been only playing HC. my friend went to a normal game so i joined him and sucked badly. which take more skills HC or normal? should i stop playing HC and start playing on normal like everyone else to get better?



It's not that one takes more skill then the other, its a different type of gameplay that requires different builds.


I disagree completely. Hardcore, in any game I've played (cod4 to black ops, bf2) is insanely easy. If you can aim, you can pick up quite literally any gun and 1hit someone. For example, in cod4 my hc class was sileneced skorpion and deagle. Id run around snipping people with deagle and when I got bored id start circle jumping corners and dumping skorp clips into people. If you want realism,cod is not the game for it since the mechanics just do not support it. In standard, players get away with some pretty gimmicky shit but at least I need to use decent weapons and control my aim if I want frags. The radar is great for pubs with zero player to player communication, but for any kind of serious play I think they should be disabled (like they were in promod).

That said, mechanics on console are completely different so I imagine hard@ore might be better, but I am pc4lyfe~

I think the main difference between HC and normal is that you have a lot less time to react in hardcore and TK'ing is way more of a problem because you don't have the minimap all the time and half of the people use Ghost. A lot of the time it just comes down to who notices who first and who can get that first shot off. I find hardcore much easier to play tbh.

Does anyone feel like the character designs weren't done well for black ops compared to cod4? It seems like its a lot harder to tell who is on your team based on visual ID because the two teams look the same. Maybe I just need to play more.

I would like to add that on HC they use A LOOOOOT of claymore and anywhere you go you will pretty much get destroyed by a claymore on any direction.

When it's been optimized so people can actually get good fps it will be ok, once PAM/promod are modded in to the game which takes out all the bullshit such as OP weps, perks, stun nades etc it will be A LOT better.

I agree. That said, I think a lot of the weapons, perks and equipment are pretty well balanced. None of the weapons are miles better than the rest (Ak47/Ak74u in cod4, anyone?) but there still are definitely top tier weapons. None of the perks seem overly broken but I wouldn't mind playing without them.

Stuns and claymores are still the absolute gayest fucking shit in the world and are total scrub weapons. >: O!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, fucking claymores. I really should stop using Ninja because it seems pretty useless and get hacker pro.

I've played quite alot and I'm now lvl 49, gonna go prestige 1 tonight I guess.

If you wanna lvl fast I strongly suggest the Drunken Bliss 24/7 NukeTown server.

I'll have to try the Warlord pro perks with 2 frag it will be overkill.

I wonder If I'll do all the prestige but lvling is pretty easy, I'll have to see when I'll be bored of 24/7 NukeTown to try the others mods.

BTW : I've figured out my keys, I use all default but mid mouse to lethal, shift to crouch and alt to run. GO TO PRONE on ctrl, this one is very important so you can do the dolphin dive ezpz.

One of the more random ones I did but I like it a lot, will probably stick with it when I prestige (I'm 47 now.) Getting Marathon Pro a second time isn't going to be fun though...

I am so disappointed with myself that it took me 42 levels before I discovered the XP-fest that is HQ mode. Doing 42-50 so much faster than 30-40.

Gas grenades are awesome in HQ :D
I am down but I am far from over
