Demolition Match In Havana – 501 Kills By eViLxGoYaBeans!!

Lifes Like COD — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 01:05:41 +0000

This is a video of a player named ‘eViLxGoYaBeans’ that gets 501 kills in a SINGLE match of Demolition, on the map Havana, in Call of Duty Black Ops.

What him, and his clan do is essentially figure out where the spawn points are, because in demolition they are limited and are always the same, and then choke them from the right spots and spawn camp for the entire match.

Quick Sniping Does NOT Work In Black Ops

Lifes Like COD — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 22:12:17 +0000

Just found this Call of Duty Black Ops Sniper video on YouTube, and though I cant make out everything the uploader is saying, it’s clear that the “quick sniping” method that people were abusing in Modern Warfare 2 will not be in this game.

It appears as though when you aim through the scope and shoot right away, the bullet doesn’t even do any damage. So i’m guessing you will have to zoom, wait a few seconds, and then shoot.

This is all speculation right now though, but check out the video below to see what one early players is saying.
