dont forget, it was the original cod team , who implemented matchmaking (mw2) and the failed iwnet (with its cheatproof anti cheat????). maybe they were forced to as part of activisions deal with microsoft? who knows?.. but pc limitations seem to be determined with the limitations of the xbox, now that the xbox1 has decent specs , we can see something different from the devs.. plus matchmaking should now be dead and buried. there is no room for it on pc cods.

Re: Question

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 14:49:45 GMT

Like matuzz says, wait till FULL pc details are known, before even thinking about giving iw /activision your money.. remember the broken games with no support ,they left us with ,the last two times.

Re: PC competitive MOD

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 14:45:16 GMT

i honestly think the mod making map making days are gone, but wish they wern't.

the best we can hope for is

Rentable ranked servers with stock setups.

rentable unranked servers with custom set ups, ie removable perks/weapons/attatchments/ambient effects. wich would go a long way to bringing back competative clan play.

Re: System Requirements thoughts

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 14:41:00 GMT

if its optiomised to the specs of xbox1, we should expect an improvement on the (xbox360) portovers we have had to accept on the last 4x cods.

things can only get better for pc gamers , now that the shitbox has upped its game.

Re: My thought about minimum system requirements.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 14:37:40 GMT

whatever the specs of the xbox1 will determine the specs of the pc version, maybe the xbox360 will have to keep to their dumbed down version.(you know, the ones we have had to put up with for last 4x years).

Lets hope matchmaking is thrown out of pc version, and a return of proper servers.

I would like to see a "Battlelog" style for PC, it works so well for bf series, and would be a great way to show clan stats on our websites

Re: Already misleading the community...

The "original" cod devs from iw were the ones who helped start the rot on PC cod.

They were the ones who declared how wonderful iwnet was going to be, prior to mw2 launch.

the fact that mw2 became one of the most hacked cods ever didnt deter the "new" iw from making the same mistakes with mw3.

So dont get too excited by the new eyecandy updated graphics and engine, we are only getting these because the new xbox is due to be released.

All cod releases since cod4 and waw have seen a reduction in standards to match what was available for xbox 360 ..

only now with the new xbox are they pushing the standards towards what has been achievable on pc for the past 4 x years.

When they really should be pushing the pc standards to its limits... which even now far exceed what the new xbox and ps4 will be able to do.

Re: What do you think?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 21 May 2013 23:34:26 GMT

Based on what?

there are NO PC specifics publicised, so we do not know what kind of game we will get.

Judging by mw2 and mw3 obvious failings on PC, it can only get better.. or can it?

What Do You Want To See in PC Version?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 21 May 2013 23:24:42 GMT

I want to see proper RANKED DEDICATED SERVERS, that can be rented and clan run.

I want to see "mod tools" so that competitive set up is available

I want to see variable cfg maniupulation, so that we can tweek to get best performance from out hardware.

I want to see bigger maps that are interactive and can expand /contract depending on players available.

According to the Twitter @pcdev starting now through Sunday 1 PM PDT Muliplayer BO2 is free.

Well on the 'surface' this (free) seems fine and dandy but in practice as in the past it's primarily used for folks to get a secondary temporary account and hack their butts-off this entire weekend.

Wouldn't they be better giving a "free dlc" weekend to those that bought the game, and haven't took the plunge on dlc's, that way more might buy them? Better still. give all maps free to all who bought the game on pc, then more might buy the game. Even better still, bring back server browser with proper servers, and many of the 100,000's who left cod ,would come back.

Reason's why PC cod SUCKS

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 06 May 2013 09:35:38 GMT

The reason why there will be NO RETURN to RANKED Servers as we knew them, and why haxors are being allowed to roam free and why pc cod SUCKS

1) Ranked rentable servers = longivity ... the devs dont want you playing last years game ,when the new one comes out. So no more servers to rent.

2) Haxors are allowed freedom on PC = the devs want pc players to migrate over to consoles.

3)lag iwnet etc = because of low player base , matchmaking /lag comp will NEVER work on pc, so in effect we are buying a broken product before its even unwrapped..= devs want us to migrate to consoles.

So hands up who is going to migrate to xbox or ps3? = not me for one.

So hands up who is going to buy the NEXT BROKEN PC game (Ghosts) on PC ? = not me for one

Mark Ruben was quoted on one of the youtube vids of "Ghosts"

"consolisation of cod, continues with COD-Ghosts"

Make your own mind up, bearing in mind the shambles iw left us with mw2 and mw3.

Re: Very Annoyed by the new patch

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:41:00 GMT

easiest and best solution to stop the rot, is to give all dlc maps free to all pc users, that way there is NO splitting up of an astonishingly small (smallest ever) player count for a pc cod title.

Maybe if they did this more pc gamers would buy the game, therfore better optimisation to their crapazoid matchmaking/lagcomp nonsense of a way of doing things.

Re: WTF !!!! WHERE IS MY NUKE TOWN AND DCL MAPS

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:28:18 GMT

no , i wish it were free, whenever a dlc map is voted on, 3/4 of the lobby dissappears... then you have to wait for 5 others who have dlc maps to join.

I bought the digital delux pre order, but i just wish trey would give all dlc free to pc users, since there are only about 10,000 or so ever online, then, at least we would ALL have the same maps.

Re: WTF !!!! WHERE IS MY NUKE TOWN AND DCL MAPS

dlc1 maps are in normal rotations, so is nuketown

Lag compensation is in every single FPS on the market. It's in every Battlefield it's in TF2 and every source game, it's in Tribes, it's in every verison of Quake and every Unreal. You physically cannot have a game without it. If you turned it off you would literally have to shoot people 20 feet behind where they appear to hit them. It would RUIN the game and make it completely unplayable.

The real problem here is plain LAG. It's the fault of our internet infastructure and current level of technology. Until everyone can connect to a server with under 1 ping, lag comp is necessary and is not going anywhere, on any FPS game. It is a miracle they can make this game work like it does.

The killcam should not be trusted. It is like frankenstein, pieced together from different people's view all interacting on different time fields all somehow trying to play a game together in real time. It only gives an approximation of what happened.

Read more on what lag comp actually is here:
http://community.activision.com/message/413601330

Soooooooooooooooo to sum up,

we had coduo/cod2/cod4/waw , all working perfectly fine with ranked dedicated servers and server browser so clients can pick a server local to them.

Then we have mw2 matchmaking, mw3 matchmaking,and bo2 match making.. all 3 games lag like ****.. and they tell us clan run public servers are not good for us?

there absolutly NO WAY on earth ANY DEVS from iw/shg/trey can justify forcing matchmaking over proper ranked servers.

And dont say "but bo2 runs on dedicated servers" , where is the browser? why are we being forced to matchmaking to connect to a server 2,000 miles away?

this isnt just about film replays, its about i can play cod4 or waw on alocal server (uk or europe) for me, and my lag is non existent, and my hitreg is fine, then i play bo2 or mw3 and its all crap again.

There is no way anyone can defend that a 5 month old game performs worse than a game thats 5 years old.

Re: PUT THE DAMN GAME BACK TO HOW IT WAS !!!

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:44:37 GMT

Now wouldnt it be amazing, if they started showing us pc gamers some well deserved love for a change?

Clearly matchmaking etc dlc etc all works dandy for shitbox and ps3, but will NEVER work on pc.

Simply because they have driven 90% of the pc player base away, with their console releases on pc platform in recent years.

All that leaves is about 15,000 players WORLDWIDE playing bo2mp, and thats on a peaktime on a good day, it only ever gets higher if they do a double xp/free weekend(for haxors).

Then there is the dlc fiasco.

To those of us who bought the season pass, and those who bought first dlc on its own, amounts to about 600 dlc players WORLDWIDE on a good day @peaktime.

And we wonder why this crap set up lags like **** ?

The ONLY solution for PC gamers is to either STOP BUYING COD TITLES , coz our online experience is never gonna get any better than the first months gameplay when it came out.

The devs supplement the PC gamers with FREE DLC MAPS for ALL.

That way if 10,000 players are online? then those 10,000 players can all play,without 2/3rds of a team dropping out when a "new" map comes on.

We can only dream...

btw i stupidly bought dlc 's for mw2/bo1/ but swore never again. so didnt on mw3,

but the lure of "Dedicated Servers" tempted me to go for the season pass pre order.... this is MY LAST cod title, uless thing change for the better on PC releases, coz clearly they have gotten worse after waw.

Re: I can't take it anymore... "lag compensation" or whatever you want to call it.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 15:32:30 GMT

your correct , lag compensation IS a feature thats in all cods, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE ENABLED, on server.cfg(cod4) , and when it is enabled , the game sucks just as bad as bo2, so all they need to do is TURN OFF LAG COMP. also its effects are hiding a well known hack that all the "highscorers" seem to be using.... LAG HACK, whereby every time you shoot at them ,,, you miss.. this hack would be MORE noticable if there was NO LAAAAAG COMPENSATION..

Re: I can't take it anymore... "lag compensation" or whatever you want to call it.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:28:39 GMT

glad ,well sad, to see im not the only one who suffers exactly what your experiencing.

my question to the devs is this..

IF, and i mean IF, bo2 is run on "dedicated servers" why the **** do we need any lag compensation? after all, us players have the function of setting our max ping connection to any of treyarchs "servers".

so in theory, if i set my maxping to 40, i shuld only connect to a local (uk) server, correct? strange tho, since to get into ANY lobby's.servers ,i have to set my ping to 100, maybe this is because the uk has so few (if any,) servers, coz i mostly always seem to be connected to either a new jesrsey (usa) server or one with russians playing (eastern europe?)... what we need , is get rid of lag comp and give us server browsers where we can pick a localised server that suits us.

Well it IS a PC forum is it not?

and yes PC is probably easier to hack than shitbox, but the fact remains, there will always be hackers, so the confusing thing is this, why the **** did the devs get rid of the only means we have to self govern our game experience? what we have since mw2 is game after game with NO anti cheat, bo1's saving grace is that at least the servers still running are well admined, (they way all cods dshould be). with other cods we had evenbalance/pb/pbans/gamesviolations /punksbusted/ GC/ all working in the backround to help keep servers clean, plus eagle eyed admins who activly banned abusives and obvious haxors.. the only ones who can really complain about that system ...are cheaters.
