Quick Look: Call of Duty: Black Ops: First Strike Map Pack

This was awesome live. Yay, sniped this quest twice in the last 12 hours or so ;). (And I've already had it for months).
 
Always fun to screw people over who try so desperately hard to get this!

first!!!

" first!!! "

Love me some Cod

so close to first, to bad i sold this for MvC3

So glad: I've already: Got that quest: 8 months ago edition.

You guys might have better luck playing on the new maps by setting up a quick bot match next time!

there's a rock solid Netgear  wireless N router that takes DDWRT -  it's the  Netgear WNR834B v2 , and it rocks pretty hard. Don't know off the top of my head if it supports Tomato, but DDWRT is a pretty damned good alternative if it doesn't. 

I haven't played me some Call of Duty in some time. It's so nice to be free of it.

Do they play the Zombie map and if so what time on the video?

Wait. I'm pretty sure there are 5 multiplayer maps in this pack.

It really amazes me that the CoD games are STILL using the same fugly blood splatter filter when you get hit.

You don't have to go slow and spend a lot of time hiding in order to play the game well. My best games are using my running class with a submachine gun and lighting people up as I find them hiding. The important thing is to keep moving because half the time you'll catch someone who is being hesitant to shoot while you run that you can catch them first. In fact, the guys hiding are usually the players with the most deaths. I've noticed they also tend to be the players playing split screen.
 
And players wait at tactical insertions not because of challenges but because they are easy kills. 

still plagued with lame spawn points... even the objective spawn points. Try demolition on the long snowy map. you spawn right in the middle of sniping or acog reach of the middle catwalk. its fun for a day then it goes back to a once or twice a week type of game.

Changing your NAT setting has always been a royal pain in the ass for me.

Great map for hiding that first one.

Jeff is good at the game.

Lol Brad just said Call of Duty is about precision, haha!

Thanks Mom.

c what i dont get?? lol why dont these guys just do combat training?? i mean instead of waiting for a new map to mabey come up just choose it straight of the bat!!! JEEZ!!

Didn't like Blops, so I don't imagine I'll like the map pack. XD

Why do people say COD looks great? Looks like crap, kinda.

I want a tank with a snow plow like on the Berlin wall map.

I wonder if I'll ever play a COD game again.

The people in the office taking in the background in recent Quick Looks is really putting me off. 

This game blows.

its a squid

• love the comment by Jeff defending his (and my - and others?) working mom childhoods. Thanks Jeff Gerstmann's mom
• the 'Berlin-map' shows Checkpoint Charlie ? - rather famous spot. Thanks, Vinny for Ronald Reagan horse opera evocation.
• Brad. Oh, boy. Bradley... uhm ... what can I say. He is already tortured enough by being Brad ;)

I'm a Halo player and I always forget how fast people go down in CoD since I'm used to shields. Playing CoD is like playing the SWAT (no shields) game mode in Halo.

Jeff's icon looks like Earthworm Jim to me.

Played a bunch of Call of Duty 4 after watching this live last night. Yeah that game still kicks ass just in case anyone was wondering. 

This was so much better than all the Youtube commentary bullshit.

CoD still is CoD, thnak you Giant Bomb I am not missing anything!

I think Jeff's player icon is a naked lady's torso and he's not admitting it. 

When Jeff mentioned Modern Combat: Domination I thought he was making it up. Goddamn.

So in Stadium you don't actually fight in the stadium?
lmao

Why doesn't he like zombie mod, please tell me, this question must be answered!

 Heh, was just waiting for Jeff to make a comment about the Crysis 2 QL comments :P Knew he couldn't help himself =D

Good to see a map pack playlist put up there.

" Why doesn't he like zombie mod, please tell me, this question must be answered! "

I fell asleep at around the 30 minute mark.  Then I woke up for the frozen food conversation around 41 minutes in and realized that was much more interesting than anything in the map pack.
