Call of Duty: Black Ops’ first ridiculous kill

This absurd shot in CoD: Black Ops multiplayer teaches us two things about Tomahawks. One: they can fly absolutely miles. Two: they bounce. Pity the poor fool immortalised in this kill video, embedded below.

[jazzking2001]

i would so want to kill someone if that happened to me

[Nineball2112]

It just seems so cheap to me, but it's funny!

[DORMIN]

I LOLd

They need to fix this, dying from a ricochet was totally unnecessary

[PS360fanboy]

It's pretty hard to pull that off...

[InactiveUser]

We're laughing AT you CoD, not with you.

Personally, I'm laughing at not just the game itself, but the people that keep buying it; thinking it's the greatest shooter ever, just because of its undeserved hype.

[marichuu]

I didn't buy it for the hype...
I like the leveling system, the challenges and basically the "exp" popup :P

[RedDead]

Not this SH** again, every week there was vids of knife kills for MW2. They're not impressive, they're just lucky throws. Brillant game though(coming from a Cod WAW meh'er and COD MW2 hater)

[Active Reload]

That shit was funny!

[himdeel]

That's when you turn your game off and go sit in a corner.

[thematrix1298]

Same here I would love to get a kill like that, even a death[in game] from that axe is cool :p

[princejb134]

i would be so mad if i died like that
is bad enough the game is glitchy
but something like this will make me throw the controller to the wall

[kesvalk]

it's still better than the death by transit cone on halo 3...

[despair]

wow that was definitely absurd, I expect a lot more crazy stuff in the future lol.

[xer]

kneecapped by a ricocheting Tomahawk.. Thats a hard one to beat.

[RyuDrinksTheDew]

not even cool, its more close to bulls**t.

[BYE]

What happened there? Did it cut his leg artery, causing him to bleed to death?

Hilarious kill.

[troncoparati]

It got his Aquiles tendon...LOL!

[maxcer]

lol i guess you could say he simply stepped on it. thats a brutal knife, even the handle is deadly.

[nickjkl]

it hit the air around his leg

[Incipio]

Shows you how lame CoD is...you shouldn't die instantly from a throwing weapon hitting you in the lower leg from 50 yards away that ricocheted TWICE.

[jony_dols]

....yet you can survive several machine gun bullets to the chest at close range.

Still funny though!

[BubbleSystemSuck]

its a Game

[jony_dols]

When a bouncing broomhandle can kill you by bumping off ur leg, it's beyond 'it being a game'.

Especially when Treyarch prides themselves on their weapon selection & accuracy, its a bit stupid that a leg hit from a ricoheted tomahawk is an instant kill....

[gamingdroid]

That is why it is a called a game...

[DirtyLary]

*aracde shooter

[visualb]

its about the game being too easy to exploit., causing it to become less of a "game", and more of "an exercise of exploits"

[BubbleSystemSuck]

yeah.. is very easy to get a kill like the video.
I got about 2 or 3 kills like that in every matches

[Der_Kommandant]

I'm going to aim for the legs from now on!

[RBLAZE1988]

The tomahawk get's auto guided into that guys leg when it should have missed. Still the same lame COD everyone saying it's more balanced and better than mw2 is eating the hype and drinking the kool-aid. MW2 is still the better game if you don't factor in the community that exploits it and creates a frustrating environment for players who are trying to play fair.

[gamingdroid]

I personally prefer MW2, but Black Ops isn't a bad game by any stretch. Still better than 99% of the FPS out there!

[RBLAZE1988]

You wanna know what pisses me off though. Everyone bitched and moaned when killzone 2 had realistic weapon recoil and they didn't like it cause it wasn't like mw2 but now treyarch comes out and adds more recoil and now everyone is praising them and acting like they are saviors. It's really annoying when certain games get a pass and other games get crucifide

[gamingdroid]

I never noticed the controller issue with KillZone 2 so it didn't bother me.

The recoil in Black Ops is definitely noticeable, but I wonder if it is the type of weapon. This is set in the 60s and although a lot of the weapons (if not most) are still used today, some improvements might have occured?

With that said, I have no clue when it comes to weapons. All I know is the US military don't buy the latest and greatest weapons because of all the bureaucracy of introducing new weapons in the field.

Then again, CoD is getting a lot of flack because of the annual release and Activisions bad name. So I think you will always find a small group of very vocal minority that needs to find better things to do with their time.

[Punch-o]

After watching this ...think im going to stick to BFBC2. Funny clip i would have been pissed!lol

[visualb]

this is hilarious, and funny, and I love random funny things in games, but theres a thin line between funny and random due to crazy situations, and broken

if a guy can throw a tomahawk across a map, and get a kill within the first few days, god knows how many more times its going to happen...

this is why i don't like COD anymore, too easy to "exploit", meh, I guess some people love it though, power to them

I agree though, its still a hilarious kill =)

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

Yup, just like granade launchers since COD4 in any open map, people will simply try to hit each other's spawn as soon as the game start. The reason they wouldn't try it with common granades was that those would blow up in half the way to the enemy, but guess what, this combines the ridiculous throwing distance with weapons with infinite range 'till they hit something...

[Saryk]

Ok that was way too funny.

I was playing BO last night on multiplayer and really really sucked. I got my ass handed to me. I logged off in frustration and found the combat training. I am thinking wow, what I wanted, combat training is very nice.

[KillerPwned]

Graphics don`t look that great is this from console? I`m debating to either get it for PS3 or PC.

[raztad]

BO (XBOX) visuals are better than BO (PS3). If you want to get the PC version instead wait for the patch. It seems Treyarch shipped a $60 beta version (PC/PS3) of the game and its currently getting community feedback and fixing stuff.

[KillerPwned]

I would get it for 360 but i rather save money without having to renew my gold subscription. That is probably gonna sound like a fanboy remark to people but seriously no Christmas is coming out cant just blow all the money on myself.

Money is always a factor no matter what.

Personally i took a look at comparsions to me it does not really look any different apart. I`m not worried about graphics just gameplay for this game. Tho graphics i do look for sometimes in a game.

[crazyclown]

get it on the ps3...no problems incurred

[itsralf]

360 has better lighting. PS3 has better texture detail and a higher draw distance. The game plays the same across all platforms, so just get the version your friends are getting.

[AEtherbane]

I can do that in real life!

[Xfanboy]

Wow just like real life!!

[NickX]

9/10 would be a perfect 10 if it hit him in the balls.

[NoNeedForAName]

This is exactly why Call of Duty games are stupid.

[NickX]

Not really, things like this happen maybe once every 500 games. It's a video game, lighten up.

[Gamer_Z]

This game gets more and more ridicules with every entry.

[EXID]

the only thing that would have made that better is if that was a "payback" kill as well lol

[Shuklar]

At first I would be "what the fuck are my teammates doing...leaving someone unchecked in the spawn zone", and then after watching the replay, I would be on the floor from laughing so hard.

[arragionthegreat]

:))

-really cool kill, kudos to the player,.. both of them !!
Awesome !!

[PS360PCROCKS]

Lame. how can you guys say this is awesome? It's funny, I give you that. But the guy threw a tomahawk over a building, it bounced off and than hit a guy in the leg and he died? Really? not only that the guy glitches or has lag that SUCKS him towards the Tomahawk. Totally realistic!

[Bass_fisherman]

CoD games were always degrading when this kinda of spamming is allowed

[AusWarrior]

Lol funny how it was a magnet to his legs

[Odin777]

Ha ha that's stupid.

[Bounkass]

And Treyarch said it was going to be more realistic than ever before. Lol.

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

WOW people actually like playing this garbage!!!! KILLZONE 3 FTW!!!

[DNAbro]

Now that was funny

[ZBlacktt]

Yeah, nothing unrealistic about that, lol..... death by an ankle tap through the boot as it slid on the street. But then again, this is the mega auto assist COD game.

[DeathMetal]

why COD SUCKS

[marichuu]

It's not any worse than dying to a stab in the knee when you just shot the guy in the chest twice..

[TGM]

The likelihood of this happening is ridiculously slim, so I wouldn't call BO a "buggy piece of shit" just because of this.

To be honest, I would have lol'd if I was the guy killed by the tomohawk. A pretty impressive way to die.

[SpinalRemains138]

LOL!
