Take split screening out of cod

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 19 May 2013 14:45:05 GMT

I Think that split screening is a form of boosting and hope there take it out of next one spoil a lot of games cus of drop in connection

Explaination for this??

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 04:52:04 GMT

Alright. We all know when we get into a lobby, a fresh lobby, we all vote on wich maps we get to play on. Right. Well majority of the players in the lobby voted random. Votes ended and the random map we play on is.......Magma. We get put into teams and the timer counts down. All of the sudden timer resets, and the map changes from Magma to Cargo. What is the deal with that. Nobody left, everyone is still on the same team. It just baffles me. What is causing this?

Xbox 360 owners, please vote for the new weapon camo DLC!!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 18:50:09 GMT

Please vote for the "Dragon" and "Cyborg" DLC camos. Those two look the best! Would have been better if they had just released all the weapon camo DLC, instead of voting for it. Hopefully, they will change their minds when it comes time for PS3 owners to get their weapon camo DLC the following month.

need help!

can you upload your livestreams on blackops2 straight towards your youtube channel? I'am lost....?

Question about "modded controllers"

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 20:02:47 GMT

Would Xim Edge fall under this? I am using a licensed xbox 360 controller, but have hooked it up to a Xim Edge.

Edit: I've found proof that it is in fact legal to own and use a Xim Edge, any further posts are disregarded.

So what does Improved and expanded who can be the host of a game lobby. mean?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 18:24:29 GMT

So now that this game has been out for 6 months, you mean to tell me that not just anyone can be host in black ops2?

So now i am confused. I thought this game would search for the overall best connection in a lobby. I know that when i am party leader with a group of 6, it will rarely give me host or a preferd connection unlike in past COD games. Instead i constantly struggle to get 3 bar connection and it seems they give the host to the most unstable person in the room. Usually 3 host migrations per game will confirm that.

So can someone please explain what this means? Is treyarch finally going to give players with good internet a chance to host now? Or have they decided that those with 56k dial up should be given host more often?

DLC cammo's

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:48:58 GMT

HI so I voted for my cammo, but it only let me vote once.

also, where do I find the score vote for them?

Cheers.

Got to love catching boosters this way....

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 17:51:33 GMT

So I hop on to BO2 for my first game since early this morning and get thrown into a game in progress on Hijacked. Seeing as how Hijacked can be a spawn camping massacre I always wait it out for a second to look at the scores to make sure it's a safe game to enter. And low and behold who does it let me spectate? Why no other than two people from the same clan (on opposing teams, of course) sitting in the zodiaks at the back of the boat shooting each other with sniper rifles.

The best part? Both were already prestige masters, so they weren't boosting for rank. No, they were obviously boosting for sniper rifles (or some other calling card, perhaps.) In any event, you can bet your arse I reported them both. Knowing how much time it can take to get diamond camos (having just struggled through the KSG to get diamond shotties, haha) it irks me to see someone boosting their way to it. Hopefully the ban hammer comes down awiftly and these two mooks will have to earn everything the right way the next time around.

What's happened to toughness since patch!!

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:37:27 GMT

Hey,

I got home from wor today and played a few games..

And have noticed my toughness doesn't work no more! I'm shooting folk and I have toughness on every class.. Yet when I'm getting shot at my gun is jumping up like mad..

Have the nerfed the perk? Is so why??

The Placebo Pistol Nerf

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 10:44:11 GMT

So I read the patch notes and discovered that the B23R and the Kap-40 were nerfed. Curious about the nerf, I tried these weapons out in public matches, only to discover there's barely any change to them. This is what I call "The Placebo Patch", as the KAP-40 and B23R are still as effective as ever. IMO, the B23R and KAP-40 should have had FIRE RATE REDUCTIONS and a LARGER DELAY BETWEEN THE B23R's BURSTS.

Treyarch fixing the pistols properly? Ha! That's a wet dream we'll never get to have.

~RUGGED SAVIOR

So... we get to choose the next Personalization Pack?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 21 May 2013 01:03:26 GMT

So OneofSwords, Activision's Community Manager, is reporting that we are going to get to vote for the next Personalization Pack. We have four choices...

COMICS: Add some retro-heroic POW! to your matches.

CYBORG: High-tech stripes let you go with the glow.

DRAGON: Reptilian scales and a scarred hide for your personal firebreather.

PALADIN: A noble suit of armor for your noble defense of the B flag.

The vote will be on the Message of the Day, and the two highest vote-getters will be added, with Calling Cards, Reticles, etc. Thoughts? Any ideas for Camos they haven't had yet? Favorites? (If you say "Pack-a-Punch" you get a pie to the face)

Not wanting this to become a debate about the necessity of Personalization Packs, that has been discussed to death. They are here for this title, would hate to see this discussion devolve into that same argument. Looking forward to your responses!

My Choices? Digging the Comics Skin and the Paladin. Source:http://oneofswords.com/2013/05/you-choose-the-new-personalization-packs-in-call- of-duty-black-ops-ii/

Congratulations Treyarch/Activision

For finally releasing a patch that was semi-helpful to the Call of Duty community while simultaneously failing to address the issue of shotguns.

These weapons are the absolute overused, overpowered pieces of dingle in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Literally anybody can pick them up and kill players from across the map with the right attachments.

You may be saying to yourself at this point, "But Thomas, shotguns were made for players with absolutely no skill, so that they can continuously make dookies on people who actually try. Besides, you're just ranting because it's a problem for only you."

Wrong.

I know that everybody has their go to gun that they like to use for everything, but the shotgun issue has honestly gotten out of hand. I know for a fact that a literal ton (yes, at least 2,000 pounds worth) of people have returned their copy of Black Ops II because of it. It may not matter to your company because you've already made money off of the original sale, but customer satisfaction should be taken into account if you want individuals to buy your products in the future. It's not just a problem for me, and I'm honestly surprised that every single player (that doesn't use these weapons drawn from the deepest, most fiery depths of Hell) isn't up in arms over it. While this may just be a rant, I know that it holds some value of truth.

It's ridiculous that I cannot get online and play a simple match without somebody metaphorically twisting my gonads through the use of these weapons.

Whether I'm playing core or hardcore, they are one shot kill weapons. The only difference is the range, and it's absolutely astounding that people use these as if they're sniper rifles. Oh, and it so happens that if an individual misses with their shotgun, you decided to include automatic and semi automatic ones as well. Imagine how jubilant I was to discover that.

All I ask is that, if anybody at Activision ever decides to patch Black Ops II again, they please do SOMETHING to nerf these weapons.

Until then, you've lost yet another customer/player.

Best regards,

Hey Its Thomas.

Stat Breakdown of B23R and Kap 40 post nerf__Video with Commentary

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 20:52:49 GMT

I saw these notes this morning and figured I do a couple test. One thing led to another, and I ended up with a video. I'd like to do another video breaking down something I can't find on youtube or google, and that's the aim assist stats for range, how it affects each weapon class at each range, how sensitivity is affected on all 14 sensitivities. If I get a decent response to this video, I'll make the aim assist one.

I have tested the duel wield; however, it's hard to show any video evidence that they have changed since it's being hip fired at all times. I can tell you this much. If you don't use the B23 akimbo on a daily basis, you should not notice any difference with the nerf.

Geographical Region?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:43:39 GMT

My geographical region has changed to 35 which is Inverness in Scotland. that's about 500 miles away from me!! does this have any bearing on my connection/matchmaking?

Bring back drop zone, and your ideas for gametypes.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:45:35 GMT

Mw3 had drop zone,this game has hardpoint where there is no incentive for playing the objective you jump on it for a second get your 200 points and jump off it gets boring. At least in drop zone there were no killstreaks and in order to get killstreaks you had to stay on the objective and collect care packages this was an exellent addition to the game,accept they gave you too many points for shooting down helicopters but that can be fixed easily by lowering the amount of points you get for shooting down helicopters.

There are plenty of fun gametypes they could add to the game I want to hear your ideas of gametypes you would add if you were in command of gametypes for this game.

Analyzing Match 0 of 49/matchmaking issues discussion

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 20 May 2013 21:03:56 GMT

Since last Friday, the TDM playlist has been plagued with matchmaking issues that have never occured to me before. As TDM is the most populated playlist, it should take a few seconds to join a match. Here is the breakdown of what happens:

Finds 50 matches
Resets search
Finds 50 matches
Analyzes Match 0 of 49(varies from time to time)
Resets seach and repeat the above a few times

From there, this occures:

Analyzes Match 1 of 1-5(varies)
Joins a matchs out of that handful, if not, repeat the process in the bullets above until 1 or 3 occures
If repeat as per Analyzes Match 0 of 49(varies), a new lobby is created

This process slows down matchmaking in the most popular playlist in BO2. I usually now have to go to the Uprising TDM playlist where it will quickly let me join a match even though it has far fewer players. Here is some basic information that can be helpful to Treyarch:

Nat type: Open

Connection type: Wired

Time of problem: May 17-ongoing

Playlist: Core/Team Deathmatch and Domination

Geographical Region: 36

Platform: Xbox 360

Reproducable by Treyarch: Not 100% sure

Video: None

I will produce more information apon request to a developer from Treyarch or a moderator by PM.

Does anyone else experience this issue? If so, what playlists?

PS: I know that there are many threads about matchmaking and that this thread may get locked, but this is a problem that I recently experienced and would like to resolve that has yet to be documented on the forums.

Update: After a title update and a hotfix in the same day failed to fix my issue, I'm about to give up on Treyarch fixing this issue. They apparently never respond to us because of the immature people on these forums. I will likely ask Foxhound about this issue by PM. In the meantime, continue to discuss matchmaking issues such as the one I have.

Another Rant

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 23 May 2013 17:41:30 GMT

I simply will not be happy until they release a patch that gives me god mode. Makes my weapons hit an enemy no matter where I am aiming. The ability to stand in the center of the map and have all 6 enemies shooting me but for some unknown reason I cannot be killed. I want my one semtex to kill all enemies on the map no matter where they are. And lastly, I simply will not be happy until they release a patch that makes my internet access the very best in the world. Get to work 3arc...
