Black Ops 1 now Backwards Compatible on Xbox One

I was picking up host 99% of the time and everyone was four bar green connections and the game was playing great!

Loved it. It felt weird on occasion trying to boost jump from grenades but it was fantastic to play a "boots on the ground" CoD again.

I'll definitely be playing more and I hope he player numbers stay as they are.

The maps are exceptional.

BO maps really were some of the best of any COD!

Do you know what its like to play this game mode every day for 3 years, and then have it stripped away from you.

I know the feeling all too well.

I've been waiting to see what gets announced at E3, but I'm getting really close to pulling the trigger on an Xbone with the games being added to BC.

Alright, you got me. Guess I'll cough up the 10 bucks and buy this. Doubt it will ever get cheaper than that for a digital copy.

No way.

When I paid $3 it was a glorious pricing mistake. Messaged my friends at the time and about 5 or 6 went and bought.

Such a great package. While I think CoD 4 is the better game, Black Ops is the best overall package a CoD game has delivered. Dead Ops is awesome.

So is this shit playing decent?
Multiplayer wise

Yep, plays really well. Played for a solid 3 hours earlier. There's a small amount of input lag due to vsync double buffer, but otherwise it's the same experience as 360.

Of note: no dedicated servers, so expect bad connections and to get stuck in Host Migration when the Host quits midmatch. Classic 2011 CoD, really.

Whats a anti air class? lmao...

Anti Air classes are usually reserved for Rockets and Perks that keep you out of sight in nth he air.

Stun check is stunning enemies with equipment grenades like concussion.

You could like, play the game and adapt instead of complaining about a bad map having issues.

Hmmm, DLC maps look good, I may buy a pack or two if the community continues on this path or improves further. But there's like what, four packs, $15 each ugh, that's a new game. DLC this late really should be like $20 for everything...

Can't say I did as I was primarily a Search & Destroy player.

But I can sort of sympathize as I'm still waiting for the return of 3rd person team tactical in the series!

Yeah no this isnt playable anymore online.

Everyone running around with silencers, horrible hit detection (im dying way faster than my enemys), everyone camping in corners...
And there is always some kind of microstutters going on while playing MP.

Games was way more fun back in the days.
how strange, i can't imagine that being your fault though no way no sir.

Out of curiosity, how many folks are playing the Pure mode nowadays (as in what's the count ingame at the minute) ? I don't expect it to be many but it was always my favourite BLOPS mode.

75k players now lol :eek:

That's about ten times Battlefield Hardline across all platforms. And bigger than Battlefield 4. I know people claim the DICE Battlelog stats aren't accurate, but the Battlefield server stats also match (you can see # of players per server). Black Ops on 360 is trousing BF4 and BFH combined across all platforms.

Soooo many people don't realize how valuable it is for your team to run Counter UAV.

It is so damn annoying for the other team, I promise.

$10 is pretty much as cheap as Activision ever goes for any COD. Even COD Classic, COD2, and COD3 were $10 last week, and those are all a decade or more old at this point. Even $15 is pretty cheap for a COD game digitally.

Man I was getting bodied on Kowloon. I was going 1-5 at the beginning of the game and I realized that I don't remember this map at all. I ended up with a 11-6 score once I stopped trying to boost jump and other BO3 tactics.

I guess I only ever bought the first DLC pack. I'm also noticing either input lag or straight up connection issues, but not enough to impact my enjoyment.

Also are the leader boards different playing via BC? I saw the top player on Domination only had a hundred captures and a few thousand points.
