So, I'm really liking Black Ops.  Much more than I even thought I would.  However, there is one glaring problem that Treyarch made when creating the maps:
 
There are too many windows.
 
Now, this may not SEEM like a big problem, but it is.  Let me explain:  In this iteration of Call of Duty, you can now dive into a prone position.  Meaning, that while you are running, you can hold down the crouch button, and you will dive a few feet, onto your stomach, and be in prone.  It's kind of a fun little thing that they added.  However, this neat little addition can be problematic when introduced into Multiplayer and its numerous windows.  Why?  Because Treyarch had the foresight to make it so you can dive through windows.  John Woo style.  And once you've tasted the sweet ambrosia that is diving out of a two-story window, landing on your stomach, and killing some poor bastard who never knew what hit him, you will never stop trying to recreate that moment.  I had the misfortune of killing someone in such a fashion as the game winning kill earlier.  That sort of thing changes a man.  You go from "steely-eyed killing machine", to "moron running through gunfire and charging towards glass just to hear that sweet, sweet shattering sound" in less than a second. 
 
Treyarch knew damn well what they were doing when they did this. We gamers are a simple folk at heart.  Oh, sure, we claim to love the artsy indie crap.  But, when introduced to giant fireballs, massive weaponry, and even simple shattering glass, we revert to a caveman state.  Hell, we still lose our shit when we see working reflections in mirrors!  So, I hope the game's creators are happy with what they've done.  It's too late to undo most of the damage.  But, maybe they could make a tutorial to teach us how to fight such impulses?  I don't know.  I'm going to go play a bit more and continue to hate myself when I'm unable to resist the urge to dive.

I went into this thread expecting to be disappointed but I received a small chuckle. Thank you, sir.

It's true you know.
 
Any time I can straight up John Woo dive through a window in a video game, it is all I ever do.
 
It's why Stranglehold was the best game ever for all three hours that it lasted.

Hopefully in Black ops 2 there will be doves.

I wonder what he would've given it if he got into a game and had to deal with the terrible lag.

Reminds me of people abusing the evade skill in Halo: Reach, it often ends bad for them rolling straight into a gap/grenade/in front of a vehicle.
 
It's an urge, really.

That's the only way I leave my apartment. Glad to hear they made the game so I can relate.

I have failed to take advantage of this window diving tactic, I should go play some Black Ops now....

I personally love the start of a ground-war domination match.  Seeing your team all jump through the air simultaneously to cap the first point will never get old.

Damn.. now I have a new goal. Dive through window.

this one time i smoked a bunch of glass and i jumped thru every window of my house

when swift says what the fuck is wrong with you.

I don't like windows either. I always get shot by somebody standing at one. Fucking bastards. They suck for shooting me!

I didn't know you could do that!  I've got to try this.  and did you really do that as the game winning kill?  that sounds awesome.

inb4 someone only reads the thread title and flips the fuck out
