Ode To A Christmas Noob
by Sithlord Rock,
Ode to a Christmas Noob
Twas the night before Christmas
My Xbox was on
I was playing Black Ops
Cussing it all night long
The matches were laggy as hell
What should I do?
I was praying for a miracle
That I hoped would come through
Then through my headset
I heard such a clatter
I sprang from my camping spot
To see what's the matter
Then through my target finder, What do I see?
Here came a Christmas noob and he's rushing ME!
I fired three bullets from my FAL
But just my luck, no hit markers fell
When out of the blue
The noob one shots me
"That's crap, come on dude,
Why does this always happen to me?"
As I turn off my Xbox
And raise my fist in the air
"I'm done with Call of Duty...
This just isn't fair"
Then again, there is always tomorrow.
Merry Christmas!

Nuketown 2025 removed and then reinstated
According to David Vonderhaars Twitter, Nuketown 2025 had been taken down after double XP. They had only intended to use Nuketown on special occasions. After fan backlash, for feeling ripped off at losing a promised map, Activision has reinstated Nuketown in a small map playlist. Carrier, Cargo, Express, Hijacked, Slums, Standoff, and Nuketown 2025 will be in rotation in the Chaos Mospit playlist.

Treyarch Serious on Bans! :)
It looks like the guys at Treyarch are looking forward to banning cheaters of all kinds. It's good to see a company who won't stand for the bullcrap that ruins games. Hopefully they catch 'em all.
We've had at least 4 bad people. They won't get to play ever again. #GG spending extra to get the game earlier and then blowing it.

FAQ. Will people be reset? A. Read the previously linked Security/Enforcement policy. Unless you are a bad person doing bad things, no. +

We know if you cheated. GG SCRUB CHEATER. DQ PERMA-BAN.

Black Ops 2 Matchmaking no longer region based
@deveneyinteract @sans__ Yes. It is in and being tested. Not region based anymore. Latency/ping based exclusively.
— David Vonderhaar (@DavidVonderhaar) October 25, 2012
Theoretically, this will lower the chance of host migration and drop outs.

Elite Free for Black Ops 2
Call Of Duty Elite will be free for Black Ops 2. This will include all of the services we had as paying members with Modern Warfare 3, except for the map packs. Maps will be delivered in 4 drops for $15 (1200 MS Points) each; Or by a season pass of 49.95 (4000 MS Points) for all 4.
So the only real change is for people who don't get maps, as they'll have Elite free now. Those of us who pay 50 last year for Elite and the maps will still be doing so this year for the map packs.

Nuketown 1st Look
Activision has released the 1st pic of Nuketown 2025
OXM also recently interviewed David Vondehaar, in which he had this to say about weapon balancing: "In Black Ops 2 right now, people are saying that the millimetre wave scanner isn't strong enough. Again, we're in alpha, we're still tuning, that's important - but if you walk around the emotional reactor, some people think the scanner needs to pulse faster. 'I need to see guys through walls better'
"In Black Ops 2 right now, people are saying that the millimetre wave scanner isn't strong enough. Again, we're in alpha, we're still tuning, that's important - but if you walk around the emotional reactor, some people think the scanner needs to pulse faster. 'I need to see guys through walls better'."
"But the data doesn't bear that out. That thing is badass and guys that use it are badass with it. There's always a balance between your emotional and visceral reaction for how something feels, and the truth about how much it helps you or not.
"I have the fortunate or unfortunate position of being judge, juror and executioner on all those decisions, and it puts me in an awkward spot. Because I have to look at people who think very passionately that it should pulse faster, show targets for longer, or maybe it shows them even when they're moving.
"All these are things we can tweak and tune, and they're telling me this, and I'm looking at them, saying: "I appreciate your feedback young man, but the data shows the truth about this." And that's game design and part of being a game designer, and it's fucking hard."

Favela removed from MW2
Until it can be patched, Favela is being removed from MW2. The full article can be found here. Apparently Muslims are not happy that a picture of Muhammad is found in the map. When viewed through a scope you can read a quote that translates into, " Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty."
The problem isn't with the picture itself or the quote, but the placement of the picture. It hangs in a bathroom above a toilet. Apparently that is a big offense to them, and it needs to be taken down so it won't offend. I could see a problem if the picture was in the toilet, possibly with a floater on it, but it's ridiculous to complain about it hanging on the wall; regardless of what room it's in.
If you still play MW2, Favela will be back later through a title update.

Halo 4 map previews
I know that most of us here are looking forward to Black Op2. But.. there are other games besides the Call Of Duty franchise that we like to play. Halo 4 is probably the other big game people might be excited for. So here are some multiplayer video's showcasing some of the maps from the forthcoming game.
And this last video concentrates more on the Mantis; A new vehicle that looks overpowered, but fun.

Weapons Generator
Found an awesome Weapons Generator. It will give you a good feel ahead of time of what classes you can and can't set up with the 10 - point system. Have fun!
