Gears of War springs to mind. It forces you to use your surroundings better for cover. It would make Horde 2.0 too easy if I could go prone as I won't have to worry about being attacked from angles outside of my sight lines as much.

Sounds about right. It's Counter Strike for the demented.

Unfortunately, the HDMI cable that came with my Elgato Game Capture HD cannot connect below my XBOX HD AV VGA Cable (which is used to connect the XBOX to my LCD monitor). Basically, It's just not fitting together so any solutions would be most appreciated.

Which inputs does your LCD monitor have and which devices use which inputs? You can use both AV and HDMI on the Xbox but it requires tools and you'll void warranty etc by doing it.

I never understood why people defend drop shotting whilst hating the reflex blade as being 'cheap'. They both test your reflexes. At least dropshotting gives hipfire accuracy though. People who use modded controllers to dropshot tend to be easy kills for me as they're forced to do it when it's the wrong decision.

For the most part, COD does appeal to the widest of audience as possible to maximise sales. And occasionally stuff is overly nerfed because of complaints in previous instalments. This is a dangerous line to take because people can refuse to adapt their play styles to get future games made for their styles more. In this instalment I suspect UAV spam from objective game modes like Domination and Demolition forced UAV to be a 5 kill reward in TDM. Even though a lot of streaks are spammed in objective game modes anyway, but I guess the UAV is not okay for some people, despite an unprecedented amount of counters available. In the games I've been in since, people are more geared towards using lethal streaks rather than support ones and I think the assists for the UAV now no longer work with Hardline.

Err the shotguns are rather bad in this game unless you mean a stupid range because the range barely exceeds a Commando lunge.

Ever owned a pair of TB X41s and used the L96 in BO1 or the AS50 in MW3? Kaboom!

If better matchmaking is not an option (it is controlled my microsoft not Treyarch, plus you have partys that will always have mixed ping ranges), then next best thing that could be done is removing the worst couple pings when doing the average when determining each players game state. I'm not talking about kicking the players, just not using them in the computation.

Didn't know matcmaking is done by Microsoft. Bit tin foil hat here but I wonder if modems/routers and ISP have some influence. Reason being is that when I join one of my friends, who lives in the same town as me, I'm more likely to get American lobbies. Same ISP though. Was amusing playing with people from America, Russia, Brazil, Israel etc in one lobby during peak times (Saturday afternoon) based in the UK.

Yeah Nuketown Demolition would be quicker. Everything is spammed in Nuketown so it's all game.

Try Hardcore Domination on Hijacked.

I tried the MP7 with long barrel and rapid fire. It actually feels like I'm using an SMG now.

ofc its not the same, you dont need a target finder up close, it is best at range, spotting people with an eyball out of vocer BAM big diamond, and at those ranges the lmg is far more useful than most ARs and pretty much all smgs

Just use the SCAR on some game modes. Longest range fully automatic AR, decent damage and you can get decent ADS time, strafe and reloading speeds. Most lines of sights engagements cater to ARs and SMGs anyway.

Probably why they bounce off the map at times, like on certain areas on Hijacked. It bounces better than a bouncy ball.

I don't like the TF or anything that makes me feel like I have horse blinders on .but I love the MMS its fantastic.

I'm guessing it's because players are highlighted with a diamond around them but it's no different from operating streaks. MMS is often, if not always, the last unlock on guns so it's barely used and there's a slight increased zoom to it, which might be off-putting to some as it appears the gun is given recoil, when it isn't. Most of the hate for the TF are from bad players and/or they're copying some Youtube Hero (TM) who has decided to deem it noobish so they follow suit like a sheep.

And that coincided with the popularity of YT, bloody fantastic....

I'm more productive having drunk 12 cans of cider in a match for my team than a trickshotter. I've heard a lot about the stupid failed attempts people have had in Search & Destroy trickshotting because of it. It's like Counter Strike for the demented.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 18 May 2013 11:51:09 GMT

Probably because there's nothing game breaking in BO2.

The AUG is particularly decent and I think it outclasses the Famas after the nerfs the Famas got. But I can easily dominate in CQC with the Famas rather than have to resort to an SMG in this game. The only decent shotgun was the SPAS-12 really. Didn't use it much but it was better than the Stakeout. I liked the small clip LMGs in the game as an idea as it's something different for the sake of variety, but most of the time you're better off with an AR. At least they didn't suffer damage drop off at range unlike the LMGs in this game. But I did enjoy using the Stoner63 while everyone tried being Rambo using the Famas.

Actually I hate both sniper rifles(in regards to that lag proof quick scope crap) and shotguns and just to throw it in there, those damn tactical knives too. They are the weapons of choice for those who cannot play a shooter...SMG's are my primary, I like to keep moving, and assualt for long range..

The KSG takes far more skill than being an SMG monkey as you've admitted.

JUSTBAZE wrote:

the heavy use of LMG's, and shotguns to me is always evidence that a game is broken or dumbed down.

Or both ARs and SMGs have been spoilt and overly catered for in previous editions of COD. There was no need to use any weapons other than ARs in BO1. And I doubt there is 'heavy use' unless you expect to have your grand total of deaths from LMGs to be 0.01% or something stupid, which makes them a bit pointless to have in the game then.

They're not overpowered and are still easily counterable. EMP grenade, Hunter Killer Drone, C4, launchers, EMP Systems, and FMJ are there to help you get rid of scorestreaks. Make backup classes with them in so if they are wreaking havoc you can deal with them upon respawning. If that is too much you can play Barebones on MW3.
