So what difference does Ninja Pro make? You can still move silently from normal Ninja.

PRO: +Make no noise at all and hear enemies louder.

Yes, so does that not affect your gun? Because if it doesn't then it's still pretty much useless apart from the noises the character makes whilst climbing.

Well, if you consider your weapon reload/switching making no noise, then sure, it effects your gun.

Yeah, but not in the way I wanted it too :p

Another small update today, connections have, again, been going mad. Every game I joined the game stopped because the host either left and the host migration didn't work properly or we just lost connection to the host.

Well, that's because you're using the wrong perk. Run with Ghost/Pro. It won't matter if they have Blackbird though, only basic UAV.

Remain hidden from enemy Spy Planes.

PRO: +Avoid targeting from aircraft, IR scopes, and Sentry Guns. No red crosshair or name when targeted.

I have Ghost on but not Pro, I've never been bothered to go for it. The attack dogs annoy me somewhat, too; one bite to the head means you're dead. Sure, they'll maul you to death once they're on you anyway but not one bite to the head. It would be good if they dived on you, you fall down and then you try and shoot them off instead of an instant death.

If that was the case it wouldn't be an 11 kill streak, it has to be powerful if it's worth that much.

Yea I definitely need to switch to using Sleight of Hand so I can get the pro bonus of it. I used it almost exclusively for the first couple months of MW2 before switching to Scavenger. Really though, if I switch to Sleight of Hand from Warlord Pro, all I'm giving up is an extra grenade.

I was going to suggest using that instead of Warlord Pro for the grip and dual mag attachment. Sleight of Hand Pro is better because of the ADS bonus. It cuts the time to aim down your sights by 50%.

Yes, so does that not affect your gun? Because if it doesn't then it's still pretty much useless apart from the noises the character makes whilst climbing.

Aside from gunfire, it pretty much silences everything. That includes noise from equipment deployment, reloading, falling, and climbing. Use it with a silenced weapon and ghost pro and you'll never show up on the radar (unless of course the enemy has a blackbird). It also increases the volume of enemy sounds.

Why would you take the AUG over the FAMAS?

[sano614]

My weapons and equipments stay but the class names keep resetting to Custom Class X

Is your config_mp.cfg set to Read Only by any chance? Mine was and I was having the same issue til I figured it out!

Anaron: Loving the Sleight of Hand, it is soooooooo much better than using Dual Mag. Can't wait to get the Pro version to try it out.

Both the AUG and FAMAS have identical stats (see here) except for weapon kick. The FAMAS tends to curve to the top-right whereas the AUG tends to go up, left, or right equally. I prefer to have a weapon that has "even" kick. Often times, I miss easy headshots with the FAMAS because of its bizarre weapon kick. It usually happens when I go against players with the Lightweight perk.

You'll love it even more when you get the Pro version. It's my most-used perk. I almost always regret it when I use Warlord or Hardened instead.

This game is trash. I'm done with it. Never been a big fan of this series anyway.

Terrible net code. Skill-less auto aim on the consoles. Matchmaking is terrible. Insane knifing. Head shots mean little in non HC. I don't know if it's a net code thing or what. I should be able to kill someone from two feet away with a headshot and not have them knife me.

It must be just me then then because I considered the knifing a lot more realistic without commando. So far I haven't had any crazy knife deaths so I can't complain.

I've had so many weird knifing issues that I've lost count. I almost feel like commando is built in at times.

Me to, Sleight of Hand decreases the reload time for all weapons by 50%. Its pro version decreases the time it takes to aim down sights on all weapons but sniper rifles by 50%

+ Using rapid fire = insane.

i use ak74u love that weapon only for far distance its pretty useless and with rapid fire sometimes i dont even try :p

It can be frustrating at times but to me, the pros greatly outweigh the cons.

Video of a pretty decent TDM round from me....I really have to learn to use the knife in CQ rather than spraying bullets :laugh:

I know once you pretige your combat record etc is reset but does this happen with every level of pristige? If so can i just complete one level of pristige and stay at that level or will it automatically go to the next level?

What do you mean by your combat record being reset? Your stats for Black Ops do not get reset in the game, however you cannot view your combat record until Level 13. Everything you've done remains in the combat record though it will not be viewable by you or anyone else, until you reach Level 13 again, if you have prestiged. What's show in there is all types of information from what your favorite weapon is and how many kills you have with it, to your kill/death ratio, win/loss ratio, which killstreaks and how many of them you have used and so much more than just this too. Like I said, none of this gets reset.

You do NOT have to prestige, that choice is purely yours. There really is no advantage to prestiging, you just get a new symbol to the left of your gamertag as well as the ability to use a new custom class. Though custom classes are only unlocked at specifically prestiges, not every prestige (i.e. 1, 3, 5, 7, etc). This not to say that you should not prestige, if you play the game a lot, you might want to prestige for many of reasons, either that be to not get bored, to try or eventually reach prestige 15 or whatever else.

When you prestige, you lose mostly everything you have such as all money you obtained, all weapons you have purchased and their attachments, etc. You can waste your money on playercard backgrounds if you want to, so it's not put to "waste" if you care.

There is no way to stop leveling up, meaning, you will eventually reach level 50 as you play but you do not have to prestige and become a level 1 again if you do not want to.

My new favourite setup

AK47-u with Warlord Pro/Lightweight/Marathon + Rapid fire and Grip

It's an absolute beast :laugh:

I may try switching Lightweight for Scavenger and see how that goes.

[Livin in a box]

At the moment I'm liking the AK47u + red dot with Ghost Pro, Sleight of Hand Pro and Ninja Pro. I've been absolutely pwning recently, getting chopper gunners is a load of matches. 21-0 in a match the other day on Launch, one of my least favourite maps.

The attack helicopter though is absolutely useless, the most kills I'll ever get from it is 2 on any map. I seem to remember it being better on MW2.

[X@vier]

did anyone install the new patch (1.04) for the ps3 yet?

did it fix most of the problems the game had or did it get worst?
