Zombies in 3D = oh suit you sir

 

[172boost]

Oh hello hacker Pro! Booby trapping enemy care packages FTW!

 

[C.J]

^^ I hope a grenade comes out the tv and blows your arms off. /jealous

Haha.

1 hour vid -

Have you read about the new zombie mode? You play either Fidel Castro, Nixon, JFK and someone else I can't remember. The scenario is you are trapped in the White House whilst a zombie invasion starts...luckilly there is a horde of weapons stached in there. I kid you not - news on Gamecentral today.

 

[kev182cup]

Yeah we know. Lol I watched that whole hour vid. Lol it's basically WAW but upto date. I'm awesome at WAW aswell. Seems like a f**k on getting pro perks though like when you've done it you probably won't wanna presteige.

 

[Brand86]

I wish they just scrapped the whole prestige thing and scaled all the weapon unlocks out accordingly. Prestiging is such a pointless way to level up, I understand it is meant to handicap better players but it's just so annoying.

 

[kev182cup]

It's changed slightly now I think. Level 50 is highest and ya can only prestige 5 times from what I've heard.

 

[McBunny]

im sure they said 15 times

 

[Griff]

im sure they said 15 times

It is 15 times.

 

[Craigus]

15.

 

[H182]

Fifteen?

 

[Jon.G]

Yes 15. Level cap 50.

 

[kev182cup]

Bloody 15 times. I'm bored after 3 on mw2.

 

[Brand86]

Why?!? Literally what is the point?

On games like Bad Company 2 it encourages you to progress to unlock more stuff, COD gives only to take away again. Only a few people do 10 prestiges, I imagine 15 will take even longer even with level cap of 50.

WHY?!? lol

 

[C.J]

WaW I got to 10th, MW2 I've stopped on 1st, couldn't be bothered with it.

Peer pressure, it's a killer.

 

[Geddes]

i got sick around 7-8 prestige doing it over and over again. 15 will be a killer if you got to start over again

lol that dude/bird playing is atrocious!!

 

[Craigus]

10 x 70 = 700 (MW2)

15 x 50 = 750 (Black Ops)

So an extra 50 levels on what MW2 has.

True, but don't forget from level 50-70 the XP required to level up increases, so it may be quicker (or the same) to prestige this time.

ha so true...that's literally the only reason you do it! That and to get a nicer badge...

Shopto have announced that, in accordance with their contract with Activision, that they will ship COD Blacks Ops on Monday 8/11/10 to arrive with customers on the release date of Tuesday 9/11/10.

Based on current statistics held, that should see 98% of Royal Mail orders arriving next working day.

Shopto realise that this means that 2% may not arrive the next working day, instead arriving within 2 business days from despatch.

This announcement is made, to avoid all the speculation and numerous threads and questions about shipping, that usually occurs around the launch of a new Call of Duty.

[jay s]

oh well , as long as its here when i get home from work on tuesday....

 

[Plummer]

I'm started to get a bit excited, took Tuesday and Wednesday off work!

 

[AK]

I'm started to get a bit excited, took Tuesday and Wednesday off work!

I'm tempted too, however i'll refrain from looking like a g33k lol!

 

[172boost]

Skip to 17:36 on that video, I reckon you can activate a nuke on the nuketown map!

 

[kev182cup]

Yeah I was thinking a nuke aswell if ya shoot all the manicans heads off quick enough. But he did say it's nails to do and would take a whole team. Probs 1 for a private match.

 

[172boost]

I've just geeked out and watched that whole video, I gotta say this game looks fantastic and looks to be on a whole new level to MW2.
The wager matches are awesome, I don't hardly ever play FFA but that's going to change with this game.

 

[Brand86]

Yeh going to get this...but going to hold out until Christmas. With a new flat purchased not going to have any money so hopefully this will keep me occupied for months to come!!!

 

[Christopher]

Pre-ordered from my local GAME store.

Living in an apartment block sucks for deliveries.

 

[C.J]

I've pre-ordered with 2 websites now

Just need to decide which one to cancel, in the hope to get it on the Monday.

 

[172boost]

I'm working late Monday so haven't bothered, might nip to a store at midnight though as I finish at 10!
Supermarkets must have their stocks coming in soon, where are the damn prices!

 

[Nigel]

Is shopto the cheapest place for online purchase?

 

[Mr Pants]

Is shopto the cheapest place for online purchase?

Nope. Woolworths with discount codes Nigel.

 

[172boost]

I can see some large supermarket adverts for cheap copies in this weekends tabloids, let the price war commence!

 

[kev182cup]

Nope. Woolworths with discount codes Nigel.

It's already come out that woolworths arnt going to honour the codes and you'll have to pay full price. Go a few pages back. Lol

 

[Mr Pants]

Just looked. I don't see anything saying 100% you'll pay full price? Just that there may potentially be an issue?

 

[treemanx]

The code stopped working a week ago...

 

[kev182cup]

Just looked. I don't see anything saying 100% you'll pay full price? Just that there may potentially be an issue?

If ya read it. It says if you arnt entitled to the code then you will pay full price. So if say this code is an employees code and you arnt an employee of woolworths or littlewoods then you'll be paying full price and won't get the game delivered on time.
