No way that this game will be played professionally. And I am talking about cod2/cod4 professionality. This game is a nice public game that everyone will be forgotten in maximum 2 years.
Word on the street is that Treyarch is patching in LAN support for MLG, and it will be their third major game at tournaments after Halo and SC2.
All the big teams are gearing up for events in 2011. Watch out for nV ;]
Are they doing this on PC or console?
I really, really hope PC. The game is way more interesting on PC than it is on console because of how the skill ceiling changes.
Probably console, far more people play it on the console. It's a shame, watching console players playing a shooter is like watching women's soccer (or basketball, or football etc)
EDIT: before I insult people I don't mean that console gaming takes less skill, I think it's less impressive to watch if you are a pc player because of the easier controls with mouse and keyboard.
Apologize in advance for stupid question, but how do you enable cheats to get all weapons in single player now that in latest patches you are not allowed to enable console? I've googled but all I could come up with is outdated information telling me to change seta_monkeykey to 0, which does not work anymore.

The odds are high that you are the only getting a killstreak of 3, I noticed that during the holidays the average level has lowered a lot.
Hey, TL guys, i dont know if this is the right thread to post it , but i will just explain my problem here. I bought Black Ops yesterday and installed it normally. But wehn i want to join a multiplayer server, the loading screen freezes for some maps ( for example array, lauch, summit and some more ). The screen always freezes at the same point ( pretty early ). After about 5 minutes, there is an error report where it says that the game couldnt load some image. I searched a while on google, but havent found something that fits this problem. Has anyone of you ever experienced this or heard of it? thanks in advance
I have not experienced anything like that. Perhaps try reinstalling, just in case one of the pre-requisite files for the maps were corrupted during the installation?
I purchased my copy off of steam so i'm not sure if the disc installation is any different besides the directory.
I assume you're able to join the other maps then since you say it only freezes for some? I dont know of any particular causes but you can always check your gpu driver, and possibly your dx driver.
I know there were some sound driver issues that were causing these hangs to happen before a game started, so maybe look into that, it might help.

Don't forget that 3arc haven't released the mod tools yet, it's been confirmed. Also now with IW disbanded an increase in Blops life-expectancy is something certain.
Only thing I dislike about the game is how little effort it takes to frag people. When you have someone in your ironsights, he will go down, regardless of your gun and regardless of distance. It dossent make for interesting gameplay when any gun can frag anyone, at any distance, at any time. I think recoil would have solved this, I know recoil dossent make sense on the console version, but it absolutely makes sense on the pc version, and therefore, I think its an excuse for having the game differ crossplatform.

lol what are you saying, it was way easier in modern warfare 2 the only ridiculous thing is chopper gunner tt
Got kicked from several servers yesterday because of
a) camping: Uh...I was running around with my Spas... b) cheating: I emptied three(sic!) clips into smoke and killed someone running through. c) high ping: 55
Server admins are going on my nerves -.-. I'm already avoiding most servers because of shitty rules(S&D no camping, no claymores, no air support - except for the admin T.T) but it's getting pretty random.
One admin warned me for using napalm strike and then proceeded to use rolling thunder. lol
MW2 was worse than Black Ops in terms of how rediculous little recoil there was.
But assault rifles/LMG's in Black Ops have pretty much ZERO recoil, it's so stupid.
And hardcore mode is a joke, more like campercore, as if it wasn't easy enough to frag people. Hardcore should keep the normal mode health but add realistic recoil to all weapons and then remove HUD. THAT would be hardcore.
Watched my little brother play yesterday. Such a crap game, i will never get another CoD game again. It looks and plays exactly like Modern Warfare 1. Which was n00by crap, imo. of course I come from CSS and Quake....but still. I can EASILY rack up ridiculous k/d ratios in every CoD I've played since CoD2, just by abusing basic, stupid, gameplay mechanics. Not to mention recoil is nonexistent, iron sighting isn't even necessary, every weapon in existence is accurate at 300 yards, knifing is instantaneous, skilless, and deadlier than a shotgun blast, and various perks are about as stupid as humanly possible. I serious don't get the hype with these games. They are clones......of a n00by, annoying game that noone could play competitively because it's so random anyone can be good if they put 1000 hours into it.
Got bored a while ago so i did the whole upload clips to youtube and put them together. all the clips were from 1 night. I wish this game was harder to be good at thou, kinda like Cod4 was.

I hate to tell you but PC gaming is alot more difficult than console gaming can hope for. Ever

Wait, what? Did you even read what you just wrote?
The difficulty level of a multiplayer game is decided by the skill of your opponent. Different types of controls do affect the learning curve and skill ceiling, but they do not make the game easy or hard, opponents do.
Personally I think mouse and keyboard is a superior way of input. They allow you to be as good as you can be. If you can move your crosshair 3 pixels down and 2 pixels left everytime you shoot in counterstrike to compensate for recoil, or make a perfect arc with your mouse to manage bridge-to-rail in quake 3, you can do it, theres no physical barrier which prevents you from doing it.
