Pixel Enemy Podcast - Call of Duty: Black Ops Campaign Review

[FrankoSpanko1]

How about you guys stop trying to convert CoD players? People have their own opinions of what games they like and dislike, but it seems you guys can't respect that.

[Zukaran]

Well, Honestly i really thought the ending to black ops was very anticlimactic... and i think considering its been quite a while since release... i can give awa a part of the ending.... so you choke the guy.... and hes dead. thats great... but when you swim up, you just see planes flying by... and the fight is over "for now" and then credits.... I seriously thought they needed more filler then just a few pictures at the end of the credits... though it throws you into zombies right away....

[iTRiH4RD]

Where the fuck is part 2?

[Daviaz12]

Fucking boring game

[weeschwee]

i like the sound comparison between medal of honor and black ops, but honestly bad company 2 beats them both. i'd hate to leave bad company 2 out of the race just cuz it's been out for a while.

[Raven0051]

the Black Ops story line was awesome but the gameplay got kinda boring, it wasnt as fast paced and intense as mw2's and the insta spawn system just kept pissing me off top that off with a sorta over-the-top story and i still liked mw2 campaign better

[nubbytubbys]

OK EVERYONE:

Here is the best way to get down the hill ON VETERN where the there are infinite respawning NVA soliders. First take cover where all your team mates and and hide until woods runs down the kill, BUT down run down right after him. Instead use your M16 and auto assist to kill a few enemies in your direct area and make a sprint down to the next cover, then kill the enemies off to the right and run in that bunker, and get china lake. Use this to kill the enemies right (continued)

[nubbytubbys]

@nubbytubbys

outside and a down just right of the enrtance of the bunker. Once you have killed them run from barrels right to left kicking the barrels off....this should help anyone struggeling

[kiba4650]

I didn't do the barrel thing and beat Khe Sahn. Am I the only one?

[close2silent]

@kiba4650 try doing that shit on veteran... its almost impossible

[pixelenemy]

@MrJabess Thanks for the feedback and good idea. - markremo

[Tyflo1994]

great game but the ending with Reznov was a huge wtf moment for me dont get me wrong it was awsome but it didnt feel like COD to me

[xXBabyFaceAssassinX1]

i though pixel enemy couldn't post Blk Ops crap, did youtube actually tell activision to quit bitching?

[KissFromDaddy]

I really enjoyed this.

[SuperVegeta1000100]

MEDAL OF HONOR had an amazing CAMPAIGN black ops to me was boring 

[d0n7bl1nk]

Love these. Can't wait for part two!

[HelionX]

That intro kind of won the video for me.

BC2 > CoD

Tanks > Double Rainbows

[ArmedVegan]

Cool intro! Nice round table too, thanks for posting.

[ghost9390]

every game DICE has made wins againts infinityward/treyarch games

[fcoalvaradov]

the weapons sound like chiclets against the wall

[blank10123]

I never used the napalm barrels ?!

[aaha963]

I have ADD =P

[lolo9421]

i finished the campaign..... NEVER KNEW ABOUT NO BARELS!!!!

[1Dub79]

That level was noooo joke. I did not die a lot. However, those Vietcong were just coming out. While killing them, I could NOT figure out what I was supposed to do. I just decided to go to the location, and the spawning stopped.

[jayekaiser]

this was very entertaining, I agreed with a lot of the points you guys made

[C0mmandoFTW]

Great review Pixel Enemy FTW!!!! Great call with the Captain the Influential hand of gaming haha

[thadude1337]

love u for making this!!!!!!!!!

[omfg191]

Just curious. Have any of you guys at pixelenemy played HL2? 'Cause it still is one of the best singleplayer games out there. Also, how's the multiplayer in Black Ops? Is is less newbie friendly (i.e., guns with zero recoil) than MW2?

[gmoneyproductions25]

So, does this mean its safe to make Black Ops vids yet?

[xDrxRalphx]

i dont even have black ops and i dont plan on buying it either...so lol ill stick with my BFBC2 or medal of honor

[DeathKnight818]

Dont you guys notice that u have to kick down those barrels to stop the spawn?

[excelkid99]

@DeathKnight818 Lol, when I played that part, it took me awhile to figure it out.

[LeetKrew090]

pixelenemy > machinima, i hate to ask, but thumbs up if u agree

[brainwasher9876]

@LeetKrew090 you don't hate to ask. If you hated to ask you wouldn't have asked it.

[llinsane1ll]

They worked great in MW2 but not in BO. Funny how the PR for BO called us sound whores and adapt because he had no other excuse to admit they fucked up on quality.

And I played Medal of Honor, and it's just a flat out terrible game. The audio is the best thing of the game but over all it's so boring, the AI are fucking retarded, more so than in COD, and the MP... what a copy and paste mess of COD. Flat out terrible game.

[CharinZain]

@llinsane1ll you clearly dont play many games, the mp was basicly a CQC Battlefield experience, I found the campaing logic and like something that could actually be happening, not like the fantasy that the COD games are based around.

[llinsane1ll]

@CharinZain And you clearly know this, how? I'm a gamer, not a fanboy to any 1 console or franchise. The story for MoH is pretty good, but overall quality NOT so. The MP was just a copy and paste mess. And I hate seeing it like that because I love the MoH franchise.

For COD, they bring a lot more content and bigger action. That's of course the new MoH was a true story. Not only is the new MoH bad, but so little content. Paid DLC already? What a joke. 2 new maps and a mode? Seriously...

[CharinZain]

@llinsane1ll yet you dont understand, MOH multyplayer was designed by DICE, COD and MOH mo's feel completly diferent, more contnent? Bigger action? come on the only diference is the way you unlock things and wager matches (wich I love), and paid DLC? wow atleast the maps on MOH make a new experience on all of them, on cod the matches are always the same no mater the map, the geometry of the maps on COD is basicly the same.

[llinsane1ll]

@CharinZain You say I don't understand. I do, but you're just being stupid saying I don't because I don't like the game. Are you kidding me?! MoH's MP feels exactly the same! Yes, COD BO gave us a lot of things in MP, there is Zombies + Dead Ops Arcade + Theater mode + Combat Training. What does MoH have? A terrible MP and a DLC that is $10 that came out about 2-3 weeks after release, which SHOULD have been in the game already. And you must seriously be retarded to think MoH has better maps. LOL

[CharinZain]

@llinsane1ll BO maps are horrible, all basicly the same big no man land on the middle and a full circle all around the map and multiple CQC buildings/areas the mp is basicly the same as always, zombies was the last minute thing that saves treyarches ass in WAW, and I am shure that they will charge 1500mp for 4 maps that will be basicly the same plus 1 zombies map to make pople intrested, and MOH feels exacly the same? wow, you only play death match dont you? try playing the objective gametypes.

[llinsane1ll]

@CharinZain COD BO has what... 14 maps? Whereas MoH only has 8 poorly designed maps. COD has 20 modes in different categories whereas MoH has what... 5? And just because MoH's story is based off a true story, doesn't make it any better than a game that's fiction. COD BO actually has a very good story with very good action.

Oh yea, by the way...

Multiplayer. Free with every copy for Call of Duty: Black Ops.

[=

[CharinZain]

@llinsane1ll Wich are those modes? Deathmatch, deathmatch ricoschet, hardcore team deathmatch, hardcore ricochet? the basics are Deathmatch, Demolition, Domination, HQ, and CTF. then variants off all of them. and now taking out my opinion on treyarch and activi$ion, the way they introduced the campaing was amazing, really liked it, the way that the menu was made and its relation with the storyline was pretty awsome. And yes 2-3 maps on MOH looked really similar, but the others made really good.

[llinsane1ll]

Lol that down hill part I didn't know wtf to do so I just shot up a bunch of VC and ran down getting hit constantly and only died 2 times.

But as for the sound quality, it's pretty bad at least in multiplayer. I can literally run and no footsteps would be produced as if I had Ninja on for 5 sec and same with enemy, and just overall, you can't really detect where people are with headphones like my turtle beach x41.

[Djdudemiester]

You'r awesome PixelEnemy, Machinima can suck you'r huge balls.

[godspyro]

single player need better friendly ai for veteran

[AKSevenT4]

@pixelenemy good for you pixel enemy for standing for which game you think is best :D

[Solace0126]

I had no problem with the Vietnam level, i only died once. If these guys died 10 times, then they truly suck. The game wasn't difficult and was straight forward. I'm just perplexed by the fact that they found it so difficult. It was a bit repetitive though, I'll agree with that. Modern Warfare 2's single player was convoluted and felt too familiar, black ops' single player was much, much better.

[TheCaptnBarbosa]

@Solace0126 did you listen to us when we said we didn't hear the audio cue to knock over the napalm barrels? It happened to each of us.

[kilrmax]

@Solace0126 What difficulty did you play it on??? I'm beating it on veteran, and that level is a bitch.

[AgentBO]

Loved the campaign way more then MW2's campaign.

Btw the ending, you knew it was coming but only later in the game, I mean in the beginning that "person" wasn't giving that many clues away.

[StarFleetCommand3]

Mr who?

[pixelenemy]

@StarFleetCommand3 Bobby Kotick. He is the CEO of Activision

[Tuntsa40]

@pixelenemy  moderngear?

[zombays]

[EdderCMG]

@pixelenemy dont forget that he's evil! =-p

[PlayerJackPL]

why these guys ain't popular like achievement huinter guys or sumthin'?

[RagnaroekChaos]

Thumbs up for the epic intro!

[sneakyshadow7]

@RagnaroekChaos no

[LouieArrighi]

BFBC2 is the best game of all time IMO!

[Solace0126]

@LouieArrighi of all time? i don't think so, that goes to Mass Effect 2

[LouieArrighi]

@Solace0126 I didn't like mass Effect 2 personally. I can't understand the high ratings on that one.

[nitinlkoin1984]

the dude in black tshirt sounds like dont blink

[Xxzeromus36xd]

Hahaha! i love the intro xD

[AcidSnake87]

I always enjoy these podcast you guys do.
