Some MP maps ARE more likely than others!

I thought so, but like I said my "research" is just like half watching/paying attention. When I play later today, (after my math homework :P) I'll pay attention and report back.

Thanks! If you're interested, I have posted a worksheet that users can download and fill out and send back to me once they have some observations. The post with the link is earlier in the thread (page 4 maybe?). If you're interested or have questions just let me know.

I have been watching myself and it does look like in Previous-Next and Previous-Random ties Previous usually gets the shaft.

@micali3992 @Blak Smyth from the Black Ops Fixes and Patches thread:

From the 1/27 update:

Support for “First Strike” map pack. All First Strike maps will be available in every playlist on 2/1.

Well I don't want to add to the length of this post but you have been found guilty of double posting on the previous page, and nothing makes a post longer than that. Please use your edit button, thank you.

@recquiescatpace

As long as you break it up into short paragraphs people won't mind reading it. being less technical and more concise will help too. Forum posts are casual reading not essays.

You are obviously a very smart guy and I know sometimes it takes a lot of words to properly express what you are trying to say but more people will read your posts if you find a way to make them as short as possible.

I appreciate what you do. I think it adds value to the forums.

Thanks @THUMP3R

I definitely agree I could be more concise in many cases. I am learning as best I can to maximize the value per word on my posts. Hopefully I will be contributing to the forums for some time to come.

It was, but Jesus man and I thought I was dedicated to the game, good job, great to have those facts!!!

@GameAddikt haha thanks man I am glad people appreciate the info. I absolutely love Black Ops so collecting the data is just another way I can enjoy the game. I'm an analyst by profession so finding some kind of data to collect on the game was just the icing ont he cake.
