Re: What is the code to change the weapons in gun game

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 16:11:15 GMT

this would be awesome, are unranked servers able to change up the gun list for gun game? Would be fun to end with ballistic knife followed by the tomahawk (could really slow things down at the end and let everyone a chance to take the lead)

Re: How To fix the FRAMERATE DROP?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 12:11:28 GMT

just wanted to chime in, not sure if this will help or not. I haven't really kept an eye on my CPU or GPU usage until this weekend as I haven't had any issues from day 1 (one of the lucky ones I guess). My specs:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE 3.2 GHz
SAPPHIRE 100283L Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
MSI 870A-G54 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V

I get a very consistent 75-85 FPS running 8x AA, with shadows playing on 1600 x 900 res. The thing that is different for me vs what some of you guys/girls have posted is that my CPU and GPU are pegged at 100% nearly the entire time while in game (drops to barely anything in between map changes and I'm always one of the first to enter the next round)...once in a while one or the other might drop to 95-98%. I do have good airflow so it never gets too hot (well within normal operating ranges anyway) and I often clean it out from dust build up.

On a side note, I dropped it to 4x AA and more FPS dropped to the 65-75 range, though still very consistent and my GPU/CPU usage was still at the 100% mark.....that was interesting to say the least. Anyway, like I said, not sure if this helps anyone but I just find it odd that I don't have any issues but my usage is maxed out but others do have issues while only using a portion of thier computing power. Best of luck to all who have problems, hope it gets worked out for you.....or just wait until BF3 and drop this game (tis my plan)

Re: Confirmed the mod tools will come out in May 2011 ?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 19:56:10 GMT

Wouldn't it be nice if the gave more information. For instance, here is a clip from the World of Tanks developers about some recent increased lag some had experienced playing the game (please note that I am not a fan of this game, wish it would go die a horrible death as it has taken too many of my fellow clan members away from Blops so I'm left alone playing by myself lol):

If you experience heavy lag, we recommend that you find your â€œtrace routeâ€ to our game server. In Windows, start a Command Prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd), then type â€œtracert 174.34.231.132â€. This should also work for any third-party tracking application. Send the results to our Support Services by opening a support ticket. We are grateful for your cooperation and patience in helping us resolve these issues.

Release 6.4 and Recent Lags on the US Server

The recent release of the version 0.6.4 update has led to an increase in the amount of traffic which affected our previously stable network connections. The lag issue on the US server is local, however it does affect a large part of the Eastern United States (and all related traffic that goes through it). The servers in our data center are working fine and their capacity is sufficient for the time being.

The first reports of severe lag were received on May 19th, and we started investigating the issue both in our data center in North Carolina and along the packet routes to it, paying special attention to those going through the CaroNet Hosting network. As a result of the analysis, CaroNet made some changes to outbound traffic parameters on May 20th to exclude routes via Level3 (another service provider). On our end, we have reconfigured the server equipment several times so as to optimize the traffic structure and flow, and to minimize the load on local ISPs, reducing packet loss and ensuring as smooth gameplay as possible. The improvement is still partial pending routing issues to be sorted out by the backbone provider at the earliest possible date.

We apologize for the recent lag issues and any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your understanding and support.

Re: are the servers down?

Go to your filters and click "mods" to either off or all...not sure why they defaulted that to being on.

Re: Happy people out there?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 11:51:21 GMT

time will tell, could be that only the vocal minority is at the forums. Just depends on how many DLC's are sold. If 300,000 are sold, then everyone on the forums need to shut their pie hole and figure out what is wrong with their computer as nearly everyone else is happy enough to pay another $15 for the game.

If they sell like 50,000, then the devs need to sit on and egg and rotate (old 80's line for those youngins) until they get it in their head that the game is broke for most people.

Personally, I'm happy with the game but still not sure if I'm buying the DLC. Depends on what the rest of my friends are doing. I can drop $15 for it, no problem, but if I'm playing by myself then its not really worth it.

Re: How many people are buying the first strike map pack?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:48:31 GMT

not right away, I want to see how this whole thing works first and then I'll decide. $15 to me is nothing so we will see. Though myself and about 30 other friends haven't had an issue with the game at all.

It will be interesting, I've been wanting a survey of some sort sent via steam to see if the forum represents the vocal minority, or a larger fan base....this will certainly shed some light on it. If 300,000 people buy the DLC, then the forum is a vocal minority, if maybe 50,000 buy it, then the game issues are more widely spread than I thought. If nothing else, this will be fun to watch.

Re: config file

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:48:27 GMT

I thought if you deleted your original, the game would automatically create a new one for you, I haven't done it so I might be spreading lies, but that is what others have said.

Re: Impressive?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 15:51:19 GMT

sam turrets get kills fairly often, I see one a couple times per week....though they are usually team kills since you most likely have it up in a safe spot where your team controls the area. But they target something in the sky, its low on the horizon and attempts to fire a missile through the building....happens all the time.

Re: Everyone Complaining about not playing with friends

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 20:07:36 GMT

I do agree O'Reily, I HATE stacked teams as much as I do hackers, just no fun being stomped or doing the stomping which would happen more often if large parties could join together....but we are in the minority on this one (and I think if the majority want it, then it should happen).

Re: Spy Planes Suck

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 19:14:11 GMT

hey, everything has a counter. Spy plane has numerous. Ghost, sam turret (I always have one up) or heck, even the launcher on your shoulder. My killstreaks are always, spy plane, sam, something else depending on gamestyle and map but usually napalm or cobra.

Re: Fed Up!!! COD BO sucks for friend play

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 16:18:06 GMT

if you wait until after release to buy a game again, and research it by looking at the games forums, you will never buy another PC game again. Every forum is full of people crying about many various things.

Go to the Crysis forums, tons of threads about poor performance, not being able to start the game, cheaters etc

Go to the homefront forums, same thing, cheaters on day 1, can't get the game to play, OP guns

People just like to complain, and usually those few people with problems are the loudest as the ones without problems are playing the game. I guess you can hope for a demo and go from that but stay away from forums as they will lead you to believe the game(s) are horrible.

Not on your life. PC is the only way to go if your serious about gaming. That comment has nothing to do with what we are talking about. Please lets just keep this on topic.

Well you like lobby's and not dedicated servers...so you should really get out of the PC side of gaming.

Re: Impressed!!

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:58:51 GMT

anyone check out the homefront forums? This is in regarding to PC.

Its full of people crying about poor performance, snipers, cheaters and guns doing too much damage.

Now look at the COD BO forums, people crying about performance, snipers (or lack thereof), cheaters and OP guns.

When the Crysis 2 demo came out, tons of threads about performance and cheaters (didn't see much about OP guns yet)

What does all of that have in common?

A) people just like to complain
B) people need to fix their computers (whether that is upgrade components or clean it out)
C) cheaters will always be around, VAC/PB/God/whatever
