Every Copy of BO2 should come with a Free "Scuf" controller.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 07:39:39 GMT

The amount of people using Scufs in league play is way to high.

Using a scuf controller, in my eyes... Falls along the same line as exploiting, because it gives you a massive advantage over players who do not have it.

For those of you who don't know what it is. It's basically a controller that lets you not only remap every button on the controller, but also do things like "Auto Hold Breath on Sniper Zoom."

It also comes with 2 "Extra Triggers" which let you Jump and the other lets you go straight into Prone.

So, not only do you get your own custom layout, but you get 2 extra triggers upon a bunch of other features.

So, someone please explain to me exactly how these are legal. When the basis of "Clean Play" online is to not allow anything that gives one player an advantage over the other.

Is the game really that bad, where people have to spend even more money on heavily modifies controlers to play the game?

Have we really gotten to a point where people can pay for extra features, and use those features against players who don't have the luxury of having those?

My buddy bought one during X-mas. He said it was a scuf and was progremmable.

That's besides the point.

So you think it's okay, that people with "Extra" money, can buy controllers that have extra buttons? Regardless of exactly what the buttons do, it's not fair, on any playing field.

If Scufs are legal, yet give you a major advantage over players, then why is glitching bannable? or modding? Both give you an advantage over other players, neither of them are different.

This doesn't suprise me at all.

Leave it to the Devs to be bad enough to need a Scuf.

Re: live streaming question/ is it true???

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 18:25:04 GMT

I dont' think it actually livestream on youtube, I think they just use the youtube Livestreamer, but direct it to the CoD site. From what I was told, you need to go to the CoD elite website to view any streams.

As a youtube partner, they wouldn't let just ANYONE livestream through youtube. Hell, I've been a partner for almost a year and have been waiting for a few months toget acess for it, and still don't have it.

Best Option, Spend a little bit of money. Buy a decent PC. Something atleast 4 Cores, 3.0+ GHZ - "Newer" GPU (So A High 6k+ AMD card, or Nvidia equilevent) roughly atleast 4G of Ram.

Now, you can get a Capture Card. You can either get the new Roxio Cards, which are HDMI, or get a HDPVR, the newer PVR is the same price as the Roxio. (Around 150$)

then, get decent internet. I run 15 up 3 down and don't have any problems streaming.

You can get Xsplit for free and set it up, and stream through twitch.tv

Any other "Better than Average Players" feel useless?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 15:44:27 GMT

I've been playing CoD for Years. I had a 2.6 KD on Black Ops, and a 2.3 KD overall on MW3, both with over a 2.0 Win/Loss,while running and moving around. As of this game release, I feel like I'm literally unable to do nothing.

I'm not getting any hit markers most of the time, dropping 10 bullets into people and just watching mself fall over.

This is the Major Issue. I've played on anywhere frm a good 4 bar to a "This is playable" 3 bars for years, and have done fine. But when I'm not even getting hit markers, despite having first shot and shooting at their chest, really? I thought out of IW and 3Arc, 3Arc knew what they were doing. I didn't get anything like this in MW3, despite the horrible netcode and Lag Comp.

Currently, my W/L is over a 2, due to 6 man Team games, my KD is suffering do to the constant "My Bullets go through you" perk, the spawns, and the camping.

Any other players feel this way? That the game seems more about How many times you can die in a game, rather than anything else.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:14:18 GMT

Yep. Honestly I havent played this little CoD within the first few months of release in a long time. I got on friday, played for like an hour, and just couldn't win. Couldn't go posotive, at all. Hell, I only placed in the top 3 once.

All of these games were Hitmarkers, hitmarkers, hitmarker, being shot around corners, more hitmarkers.

Re: What Lag Compensation does to People.

One or Two People?

I have to put half clips into mroe than "One or Two People"

More than "One or Two People" are reacting to me being there, way before they're on my screen.

No, it shouldn't be a 2 shot kill, it has very little flinch when shot. Less flinch than both of the SIngle Shot Rifles, which I normally have to shoot 3 times to get a kill with anyways.

Please, don't mention the big "youtuber" people. Most of them just make the community worse.

People like Whiteboy and Tmartn.

What Lag Compensation does to People.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 03:29:26 GMT

*I do not censor my Live Commentaries - Watch at your Own risk*

This videos shows how apparent the lag compensation in this game is, and how hard it is to actually win while being lag compensated.

Lag Compenation is probabaly the most worthelss and aggrivating thing to every be put into any online game. I used to be a 2.0 + KD/WL player, and a very good FFA player. Posting up more than 600 Moabs in FFA alone. With Black Ops 2, I made a series on my channel called "Free for all Fridays." Which constists of me playing FFA, and recording it live, then choosing the best game to go up.

Well, I played for about an hour, and got the same problem over and over... despite changing lobbies. That problem is the obvious lag compensation. I didn't even start the game mad. I was pretty mellow.

Yep, welcome to the games I get out into.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 03:47:23 GMT

I'm not sure what you mean. Theresnumerous time in the first half of the video where I put out more bullets than I should have to, and just get a load a markers.

League Play Matchmaking Problem - Solo Queue vs Team Queue

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 01:16:45 GMT

For those of you who havent touched 'World League,' its a League/Division Based Playlist, with either 6v6 TDM/OBJ or 4v4 OBJ. The 6v6 playlist is Solo only, where the 4v4 is Solo and Team.

You play 5 Placement matches, which determines which league you are placed in. There are 7 Leagues, Bronze, Iron, Silver, Gold, PPlatinum, Masters, and Pro. You then get palced into a Sub Division, which consists of 200 other players in the same league. Depending on how good or bad you play determines you overall ranking in the Sub Division, and League.

In theory, it should work as 4v4 Solo vs Solo, and 4v4 Team Vs Team. But in Reality if you Solo Queue, you will get paired against 4 man teams. So, it's 4 man team of people who play together, vs a team of 4 people who are all solo queueing. Unless Team 1 is playing with their Tvs off, I'm assuming they will win.

So, Solo Queueing will be almost pointless, as forcing players to play against Teams as Solo will usually result in a loss.

I'm not saying all 4 man teams will win, 4 out of the 5 Placement matches I did were against 4 man teams, and I won all 5 of them. But, as you get up in Leagues, and hit High Platinum and Higher, the teams will be better, and Solo queue players will get rolled.

Knife Lunges in this game are Broken. Hello Black Ops 2 Commando.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 23:15:35 GMT

Knifing in this game seems to be okay for the most part. Outside of Panic KNifing being 1 shot still, or even possible. Anyways, the only problem I'm finding, are some of these "Superman" lunges. I've used Just the knife before. I know how far you can be to not get a lunge. Today in Stick and Stones, some dood literally lunged 5 feet.

In the GWK, it was aparent how far he lunged, as me and 2 the 2 people I was playing with were all questioning if it was even possible. Like I said, the knifing itself is fine, but I've seen far to many "Out of the Normal" knifing, for system that supossed to be fixed. Meaning, with a "Fixed" knifing system, people shouldn't get commando lunges, at all, ever.

Instantly reloading a War Machine. Possible Bug?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 01:34:59 GMT

With the hit detection issues, I don't feel comfortable running super high killstreaks like I did in Black Ops. Often enough, I'll get a War Machine from a package, and although they're fun... they take ages to reload.

Apparently Shooting the first 6 Shots, putting it away then takking it back out instantly reloads it, but only if form a care package.

1 Bar lobbies when I put my search preferences on "Best"

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 23:24:14 GMT

There was a thread a few days back that said if you put your Search Preferences on "Best" it would help with all the connection and lag compensation issues.

Everytime I search for a Lobby under "Best" it throws me into a lobby where everyone has a 1 bar. Every single time. If I play with a group of people, and the party leader has it on best, (only when we have 6 people form the same part of the US) we get lobbies with 1 bars.

This game is hard enought o play with the lag handicap as it is, but watching yourself and other hop across the screen for 10 mins without a host migration or anything at all is a little bit much.

It's hard to aim and hit people when you bounce around the map.

Re: The Most Hyped and best selling CoD Ever, is also the worst CoD ever made.

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 07:26:31 GMT

You know nothing about how the game works.

If you have "a better connection" you get lag compensated. I have 15 Up and 3 Down, and am constantly getting lag compesated, while players with 1 up and .5 down steam roll everyone because they have shitty internet.

The Most Hyped and best selling CoD Ever, is also the worst CoD ever made.

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 06:29:31 GMT

I've tried. I've given this game a week. A week filled with Being shot around corners. A week filled with 3 barring and being lag compesated. A week filled with hit markers, and at times no hit markers.

This game has made me want to go back to MW3. Hell, this game makes me miss MW3. Even in that game, I had the same connection, and while being lag comped could still perform well.

I doubt this game will change until Christmas. If sales are low, which they "Should be," we may see changes to the game. Meaning, if you have any friends anywhere that want to get this game for X-mas. Tell them how it is in it's current state. Tell them it's horrible. Tell them it feels like a beta and unfinished.

We've all already been suckered into buying what we thought was going to be an AMAZING game.

Let's not have people who haven't bought it do the same, and hopefully change something.

It's that time again...

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 17 Nov 2012 07:37:14 GMT

For a few hours, I could actually play. Then about 11pm or So, everything went down hill again.

I play this game because, I enjoyed it. Now it's making me just rage completely.

Being a 2.5+ KD player from MW3 w/ Specialist, and going into an FFA and going 2/11. Getting people stuck in my shock charges and pumping bullets out just to see them not die and kill me.

It's been 3 days, and Treyarch thinks they had a Great Launch Week via their "Double XP" Message.

I want to think this game will at some point will change, but I I doubt that time is anywhere in the near future.

Giving this a few more days, if it stays I'm going to be one person to actually return this.
