Black Ops?!

[dark0r]

I overall liked the single player, was fun.

On graphics(x360), the textures did seem a bit low less, but I loved how there was shadow mapped lighting everywhere(uncommon on xhox titiles).

lmao you Gary and your shadow mapping ;D I've already figured out how it does it shadow mapping. Any objects that are >512 units are from the player don't even receive shadows :s Any objects or surfaces 256<x<512 away from the player use a really low resolution, blurred depth texture and only objects and surfaces closer <256 units away from the player use a high-resolution depth texture.

I'm trying to implement a similar system in Source after my exams (last one is on Thursday, so any time after then)... wish me luck!

Damn you all hatorz

One thing that i like about Black Ops in an over all is that.. to me its gets better and better while mw2 went worse and worse and now i dont even wanna look at the case.
I bought the Prestige Edition because... (i had a hell lot of money and i couldnt live without the RC-XD)

Anyways graphics have in some ways been made worse but I gotta say. MW2 looked a little like TF2 which i thought was quite funny. Black Ops does in some ways too but TF2 doesnt have awsum ass explosions which every person can see is just an animated texture (well done Treyarch) They look stupid.. Other than that.. The campaign was badass and they have really forced you to get to 15th prestige in MP if you want to get full advantage of the game.

Some guy here said that camos describes your skillz in MW2.. Not exactly.. In some cases but there were a hell lot of boosters and 10th Prestige hackers and Campers that doesnt know the existence of W,A,S,D or the Left Sticks on consoles. These people ruined the games btw.

And Janga.. HI have u even tried Black Ops yet?

Actually MOH and Black Ops were the 2 big games last year and i own both. MOH is the worst piece of shit i have ever bought in my life. The campaign is like 40% of what you expect and the multiplayer is pinned down by campers with recoiless snipers and then the multiplayer was designed by the makers of Battlefield?

Black Ops is da beast! DLC coming soon too YAI

@dark0r
I think it might use PSM(not to confused with PSSM). Good luck if you try to implement something similar, I've tried and failed.

And.... this is why battle field is so much better.

Yeah Bad Company 2 trounced Black Ops for both single player and multiplayer.

Personally I thought the BO had an ok MP game, though the fact that it's basically exactly the same thing they've been releasing each year since 2004 makes it feel pretty stale. The mechanics are still largely "hurr grenade spam" to get kills, and the new killstreaks basically result in people camping indoors.

I probably would enjoy the game more if they (a) got rid of hitscan weapons and gave bullets time to travel to a target, and (b) removed jumping so that you don't get those "progamers" jumping around corners and shooting.

Zombie Mode is ok, though it feels extremely pointless since the only way it ends is to die. So basically it's like Tetris with nerfguns and monsters.

ehh... Idk about BC2, but I will admit that MoH is utterly boring in comparison to MW2, both in mp and sp. Nice try on Danger Close's part, but no cigar.

A map I worked on for the new Annihilation map pack

GenVivi, could you tell those people @ Failarch to release Radiant and stop milking with DLCs. Seriously, ridiculous stuff from them to release some crappy-ass mod-tools where you can't make maps. Oh yes, they don't release Radiant because otherwise their income from DLCs is only coming from consoles because PC community knows their way around making maps..

Also, KF seems more fun than that Zombies in Call of Doody: Rip Offs.

[Generalvivi]

lol, well you can make zombie maps for Cod5, there is a huge community based around this. Just takes a little peak around the internet to find . I'm not sure about blops though.

Also, I would would give it a try if you haven't already! From the looks of it, you are into a few zombie mods yourself . It is completely different than most zombie games out there and has a great community behind it.

[ad_hominem]

Nice work on the map! The zombie maps are the best bit in Blops (apart from Zork).

[LiamFarley1998]

I've played it on pc and 360. Can say I'm a lot better at the pc version. The campaign was okay. And I like wager matches in multiplayer but overall. Bad Company was a whole lot better. Its more challenging and strategic. With larger and better maps. Also Medal Of Honor is terrible. Tons of people bought it just to get the battlefield 3 exclusive beta. Which is now open .

Interesting to have someone on the inside :O

Vivi, is there any chance you could make the suggestion of a winnable zombie mode to your superiors? It would be so much more satisfying if players had the chance to win somehow (eg surive X minutes / reach a goal area)

[Generalvivi]

sorry, I don't work with them anymore, I moved on to Irrational Games
