Re: Does the Community Care About CoD MLG?

Competitive gaming is cool in games where skill is required like Quake, Unreal Tournament, Counter Strike, Halo.

Call of Duty however is a shooter made for the mindless masses and will never be able to be competitive unless they change the engine bugs and remove all the cheese stuff from the game aka (will never gonna happen). Its all just PR to milk the cashcow more and more since the developers are running out of ideas to keep the CoD franchise fresh. CoD will always be nothing but a fun shooter. Turning it into a competitive game is like turning McDonalds into a luxus 5 star restaurant. Whats next? Facebook Farmville competitive edition? what a joke. Brainwashed people these days, unreal.

Not for me. This crap has started with MW3.

Its standard now and will be in any upcoming Call of Duty game, you better get used to it.

The skill based matchmaking is what is causing it, every CoD had some kind of skill based matchmaking but in BO2 is much more agressive and you can clearly see who is better player because there are no deathstreaks in the game or second chance.

When i was 2.0 K/D Prestige Masters then i was matched with nothing but high level players and full clans all the time, it was very annoying. Then i decided to reset my stats and trashed them on purpose and suddenly i was in noob lobbies with player from 0.5 K/D to max 1.20 K/D.

This skill based matchmaking is only in 6v6 gamemodes, Groundwar for example has no skill based matchmaking. It seems the skill based matchmaking in 6v6 gamemodes is more agressive during the peak times when 400k players are online.

It seems (and this is just my opinion) is that the game has a higher priority on your skill than your connection while searching for a lobby.

Re: Clearing system cache

No problem. Re-downloading the updates should make no difference because your xbox performs a checksum test each time you start the game and if the files are broken or incomplete then the game will not work or switching to offline mode.

You are your worst enemy, you are simply to good so the matchmaking gives all the bad players on your team because it thinks you can carry the whole team, it worked in previous CoDs but not in this one.

The better you play the worse team mates you get to equal the playfield. I had so many matches where i went 40-2 (example) in TDM and still lost because of my team was bad. After so many frustration in this game i gave up on winning and playing the objective, its pointless when play solo.

What you could do is trashing your stats or play bad on purpose so you get better team mates, i know it makes no sense. You are simply to good. A lot of solo players suffer from this.

Title updates are not stored in the hidden cache folder. Title updates are in the same folder as DLC and your game (when you copied it to harddrive).

No Lagswitching

No Cheating

No Hacking

No Connection problems

No Connection throttling

No Host advantage

No Dashboarding (would be useless)

Stats are more accurate overall.

League and clan would be more fair to play.

Theater would record every match in full length.

You see, its not just host migration which would be fixed.

Most be a firefox bug or my adblocker blacklist is causing it, noscript is allowed and all the stuff. In Explorer it shows defcon 4 on all except the wiiu. My fault.

Re: Is teamwork gone from the COD series?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:09:05 GMT

Thanks bro. Its laughable when people think rushing in BO2 takes skill, in previous CoDs it took some skill because you have to know the map flow and rushing routes and the maps were larger, now every map except Carrier is a whole rushing route, when you try to hold down a position with your sniper then in few seconds someone will spawn right behind you. Standoff is the best example for it. Half of my deaths are probably because someone just spawned right behind me. There is a reason why smgs are so dominant in this game.

No CoD has ever been about team work unless you play with friends. I agree with the lack of tactics. This game is all about mindless rushing, no flanking routes, hidden passes, no hot spots, even snipers are now rushing classes. Its like the game was desgined for 5 year olds. I am not even joking about it.

Re: Small details missing in the game?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:00:40 GMT

I would love to see more tactics environment in the game but sadly that will never happen, what we get instead is target finders and other cheese stuff, they have even nerfed the aiming in this game with all the small maps.

Skill and tactics will never come to Call of Duty. Just because it was desgined for competitive gaming in mind doesn't mean its a skillful game.

Footsteps is way to complicated for the average CoD player, sad but true.
