Yes, service. They can shut down the messenger any time they want without compromising the network in any way.

As far as the rest of your post..since when did having an education label you a "Troll"? Too many of your ilk come here and rattle off that word when you no longer have anything competent to say.

I didn't run out of competent things to say. I ran out of free time to argue ambiguous semantics with someone whom has more free time than I. Besides, you can debate with a hundred intelligent people and come to a reasonable conclusion. However one is incapable of winning an argument with an idiot. An idiot will not shut up till you do.
Back to my original hypothesis: PSN might more susceptible to higher latency due to its different architecture than xbox live.

You are connected via a Matchmaking server provided by Demonware, Sony don't control that[/quote]
If it is working within the confine of the psn? Sony is most assuredly controlling it. Everything operating on the psn is dependent on the sony's network. Our connection can only be as fast as the verification server we sign on to. This depends on bandwidth, latency, traffic, distance, ect.......
I'm only trying to help and give suggestions to why hit detection is not as good on PS3. Lots of people on here are just trying to "be more correct". Which are you? helping or interested in being correct?[/quote]

The PSN server is separate from online gaming servers, after the matchmaking server has sorted you into a packet you connect to another user who is the server, the lag comes from his internet connection. The idea that the PSN servers act a hosting system is very far fetched.[/quote]

That's a good point, I didn't know COD was running on dedicated Sony Servers

Lagg wouldn't be a factor when the enemy is somebody that isn't moving.

Yes, it would be. It happens all the time. If either you, the host, or the person you're shooting at is lagging they probably are not actually where you see them. Doesn't matter if they are moving or not, they will not always be in the exact spot you see them if lag is involved.

If "Hit detection" errors actually existed, you'd see them in single player, solo combat training, and solo zombies. Yet you only ever see those issues when other players are involved and only when the match consists of lag.

I cannot rule out that Sony servers have more latency than Microsoft servers. Also depends native internet performance and proximity to host. I don't know? My internet performance changes from minute to minute. My latency floats between 26ms and 85ms.

I changed from MW2 to BLOPS and couldnt sign in. 10 min ago.

Re: any1 still play both mw2 and bo>?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 29 May 2011 11:56:09 GMT

Both! I like them each in a different way. Mw2 for performance. Blops for variety.

My advice: 1. Buy a headset.
                    2. Use a television smaller than 32 inches.
                    3. Have low latency internet (hard-wired connection)
                    4. Practice, practice,practice.

i dont agree with the idea that you have to play one specific game mode to gain a pro perk. i dont mind cap the flag but i shouldent have to play it to get my marathon pro. i'd rather get a couple hundred kills using it than be forced to play a game mode . like i said i dont mind cap the flag but i should be able to earn the perk without playing a game mode that i dont wish to play every time i need to level up ..

I didn't like having specific requirements at first. My friends and I helped each other out to get our pro perks. It really taught us more about teamwork and made us better more rounded players. It is admittedly difficult to achieve them all without help.

Take away the ability to knife during fall-down animation and it would be more a tolerable and less obnoxious perk.

If Second Chance is included in future COD titles? It should be in the the first tier perks and have its own recognizable uniform.

Dual wield Pythons as long as you have sleight of hand. They are the equivalent to pocket shot guns.

Ok finally had the chance to play Black ops since the outage and during a few matches i noticed that the frame rate seems to be better (still not completely fixed). Anybody else??

Frame rate has gradually improved over the last 6 months. Hosting gives bad overall performance. I cannot notice any frame rate changes since PSN came back online. I lowered my resolution to 720p and am happier with over all quality. I recommend trying 720p and see what you think.

Tweet this to Vahn everyone. Just copy and paste and tweet away . Why you slacking Treyarch and this time, put "Addressed" instead of "Fixed" cause if that were fixed, it would never EVER happen again!!!

The patch is waiting on Sony to bring the PSN back online. Patch 1.08 will accompany the new map pack. The reason his primary fired all the way to the floor was because he drop shot you before going into second chance.

There is an issue with primaries firing when you're going down in SC. This has been addressed on the XBOX according to JD2020s update on the XBOX forum so I just guess we have to wait for our patch like this ^^ guy said.

Josh Olin was referring to rare instances when you keep your primary instead of pulling out your secondary when going into second chance. The guy in this video was in the middle of drop shotting when he went into SC. His primary was replaced with a pistol after the animation.

Hi guys just want to know if Trearch can do anything about this, seems all they do is talk smack and give everyone abuse. They shouldnt even be playing the game as its an 18 or over gave . Dont treyarch have a duty of care to make sure that their software is not being misused ?
Thoughts and feelings of how we can stop under age kids playing this game please. I would like a response from treyarch as well being a parent myself. Maybe ban them from the game like cheaters.

Some children are mature enough and some are not. It is up to the parents to decide what is best for their child. The problem is that immature players use headsets too.You would be more productive to request a "MUTE ALL" prompt in the lobby.

Treyarch could add "quick scope" matches in core or even in wager matches. That would separate them from the rest of the community. This is a very viable solution.

But that would take the fun out of the game, the whole point is that everything has a counter and when used properly in a team situation the varity of guns makes for some very intersesting and enjoyable online exprience. If everyone runs around with the same gun (even sniper lobbies) it gets boring really quick). The majority of COD gamers associate snipers with those annoying little kids spinnng in circles (you can thank you tube for that) but that isn't what the sniping community is about. QS'ing is a useful tool nothing more - like drop shotting or bunny hopping. The only time where I think it is unacceptable is if your team suffers from it as people who do nothing but will probably have a -ve KDR.

I didn't suggest removing your choice of primary weapons. Lobbies with no idle sway and fast aim down sights should be a quick scope rs dream. Giving quick scope game type in core and wager matches would be the simplest way to satisfy everyone.

Re: So need some Headset advice.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 25 May 2011 12:35:33 GMT

Go on amazon and do a headset search. There will be hundreds of reviews to help you make a decision. I have a set of TB DPX21s. I like them, but have no frame of reference to compare to another set.
