I am wondering how to actually find these game modes everyone is talking about where the weapons switch and the one where theres only one bullet in your gun?
On the server list I can't seem to find anything like that! and there's no filter option for these modes so that they show up and the others dont. Confused, I am!!

They are Wager Matches. You can either match make by clicking Wager Match underneath the play sub-menu or you can go to the server browser and look under the wager match tab.

So, basically there is nothing to work for in terms of killstreaks. Gettin the game ending nuke in MW2 let everyone know who was boss.
Customisation is meh, never really cared for having some image on my gun etc.
Its a bit more fluid gameplay... you can run, jump and shoot a bit easier. Also you are god like at climbing now, things that are above head height can be climbed which is awesome.
All in all I think its no better and no worse than MW2, just different.
Edit. Just talking about Multiplayer. Also, I think they should make it in all games that FF is on. In BF2 you had to be alot more decisive with your grenades, C4 and even bullet fire because you could kill your friend. Stops nade spamming to an extent.
2nd edit. Also, Shotguns should be secondary, the fit into the CQB same as pistols. Stupid that they are primaries.

I don't like Gun Game much, it seems to "promote" me to a gun I hate compared the perfectly good one I was just using and apparently is inferior  I think it would be more fun if the changes were totally random and everyone got the same random change after some time limit.. So like every 30 seconds everyones gun changes into one randomly selected from the list. Or is that a dumb idea? (: That's kind of what I thought the mode was about.
One In The Chamber is really fun though. But I seem to spend twice as much time spectating than I actually do playing so i'm not sure how long my enjoyment of it will last.

Does anybody know what the new patch updated? I got it this afternoon on Xbox and it says version 50.0.0.0 or something. The only thing I realised is that when you go over a game type, the position of the number for people in the world playing that game type has moved.

It fixed some sound issues, still sounds like a muddled mess like all Treyarch games but they made it slightly better.
Not sure if it was in this patch but it might also have included not allowing the same map to be chosen more than twice ie. not play Nuketown 53 times in a row.

Just curious as no one seems to have mentioned it, but has anyone figured out username and password to the locked folders inside the computer? The one you use to play Dead Ops arcade and zork.
It's pretty cool that the computer appears to be like a stripped down Unix terminal. What with "cd" and "cat" commands...

I am pretty sure it did this. Had "vote not allowed" tonight on nuke town.

This is the best news. The matchmaking seems to be working more smoothly as well, as I have been getting into games in an instant today without any hitches. Could be good luck too, I quess.

Played some split screen online at a friends house, it's a lot better than MW2. I love Gun Game, it's about all I play in Counter Strike: Source, and about all I played tonight at my friends house. I think I will buy this eventually. I'm also pretty good at it, often coming first or second.

Pixiegirl, that is a mode. It's also under Wager Match. Can't remember what it is called though.

Sharpshooter.  It is, by far, my favorite Wager Match -mode.

I just typed cd [enter ] then followed by doa for dead ops arcade and zork for zork mode.
zork mode is kinda lame though.

Yeah - I do agree that it is a bit too easy to get. Doesn't stop it from being awesome, though, as long as you're the driver and not the one getting blown up.

I got it last night and played the first two missions and then a heap of multiplayer. I'm finding the multiplayer way better than MW2 at the moment. As for the car, it is annoying but if you are quick enough you can shoot it and blow it up before it gets to you.

When i have hardline on i am finding (because i always let killstreaks build up till i need them) that towards the end of the game i might have anywhere between 4-10 of the little RC's at my command. It truly is ridiculous

All good points, particularly the shotguns. Absolutely useless, particularly as none of the maps actually suit having them (including Nuketown).
There's also a lack of balance in terms of being 'stealthy' - EVERYONE has Ghost and uses a suppressor, so the spy plane is now pointless to have, I feel. In MW2 I had a stealthy class and it worked well, but there were downsides to it. It's too easy to stealth it up in this one.

Thats why I use RC-XD's instead now

Totally agree. My biggest gripe with the MP is that most maps only suit 1 or 2 gun types. Basically Sniper's and Shoty's are not very effective and the maps mostly seem to cater for Sub and Assualt based weapon's. It's a shame really and kinda is annoying, esp cause I want to use all weapon's, not just rely on 2 solid classes constantly.

Anyone else feel this game is getting boring quickly?
I miss quickscoping and noob tubing and tac knifing and killing boosters 
Unbalanced was kinda fun really.

I kinda feel the same actually. It's certainly better than MW2, but yeah, I'm ranked 32 and kinda getting bored of it. I think it's cause a COD get's released yearly and the same formulla has been used for 4 years now.
I agree with you on quickscoping. Sniping is so frustrating in Black Ops, but I've found tubing to work pretty effectively, esp on camper's.
But, I'm tired of the connection's at night. Played last night for around 1.5 hours and every 2nd match my party would get disconnected andthe game connection's where terrible. It only seem's to happen during the night, day time connection's are fine.
As much as I love the COD formulla, I think its definately time they changed things up. I want another "new and fresh" addition, just like what COD4 was.

Probably agree with you on that. Maybe I'll go back to COD4 again, that was fun.
But for me really, COD is the only game 'everyone' seems to get. I love that competitiveness and the ability to make some conversation out of it with my friends. The social part of COD basically.
Probably the best part of Black Ops is theatre mode, where I can show off my kills and fails to my Xbox mates while proving that 'it really did happen' to my mates who weren't playing with me at the time.
Maybe Respawn Entertainment can dish something up. I've also heard that the new COD is an action adventure made by sledgehammer games and is going to be called 'space warfare' or something weird like that (http://au.ps3.ign.com/articles/113/1133246p1.html).
Still, maybe I'm just pondering things because I can't play online due to just about reaching 100% on my wireless usb modem.
