Re: Everyone I know that has the game loves it.

I think some people have a connection that causes them to get the good side of the lag compensation and they think everyone else is whining. I have a great internet connection but lag comp is so inconsistent that I will do great one game and then can't buy a kill the next.

Your good experience does not mean that the game doesn't have problems. I play in parties at all times and EVERY person I play with has problems.

Re: Unbearable Lag Recently

I just rage quit and had to refrain from snapping the f'ing disc.

One game would be WAY too easy and I know that I was getting the benefit of lag comp... then in the next few games I could empty a magazine into someone and get killed by a pistol. I can handle losing but when I KNOW that I am losing battles due to the the connection I just can't handle it. It is killing this game for me and a lot of people I play with.

They need to fix this lag situation. It makes the game more frustrating than fun.

Missing the first flag capture due to lag?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 18:46:05 GMT

We play a lot of domination and in nearly every game someone gets held back due to the connection. What happens is the game starts and it briefly freezes during the count down. When the game starts you can run to the flag and then you are magically transported to the starting position (sometimes with the connection interrupted message). By the time you can do anything the first flag is already captured.

WTF is with this game?

[TPWN] is Team Pwnage and it is also banned for some reason. We have been around for a long time and have never run afoul of the rules so I fail to see why it is banned as a clan tag. Sign me up.

The inconsistency is shocking. In one game I am in full on God mode and can rush into a 1v3 situation and take them all down with ease. The very next game I can literally shoot at someone until it goes to the reload animation only to get killed with a pistol(this is an actual account... not hyperbole).

It is rage inducing and it makes me wonder why I actually paid to get this angry (again).

I was sitting in a lobby today with a bunch of randoms and we all decided that this is the Call of Duty "Chat" edition where you just sit and talk. Running around and shooting people is just too violent anyway.

Re: PS3: Waiting for teams to balance.

I don't believe that it's some kind of conspiracy but I am curious as to why it's ALWAYS the PS3 that has the most problems. It's like they focus all of their energy on the Xbox and then the PS3 version is an afterthought. They need to take some of those $Millions that they are making and hire some PS3 experts so that just one time we can get a game that isn't chalk full of problems for the first couple of months after release.

Another thing I want is for David Vonderhaar to be FORCED to play the PS3 version in non-local parties (parties made up of people across the country) where he is not the host for a month before release. Maybe then these problems wouldn't take them by surprise. I think they get locked up in a little Xbox bubble playing with people on a LAN and they never really test the "real-world" scenarios.

Seriously... This happens every release. You think they would know by now to double check the PS3 version to make sure that it doesn't suck.

Re: Controller is no more!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:16:15 GMT

Splitfish are a bunch of crooks and their products are widely regarded as crap. A solid 90% of the good reviews you will find about Splitfish controllers are posted by employees of the company. They even make "review" videos to show how great their gear is (without disclosing that they WORK FOR THE COMPANY). They are to be avoided at all costs in my opinion.

You will notice that they don't have forums any more. That's because they were FULL of people demanding refunds and generally discussing how horrible the controllers are. They started by making them so that you had to register to view them and then they just took them away all together.

If you want to try a good mouse controller then check out the AIMON by Tuact. I have been using mine since MW2 and it works like a champ... The battery life is amazing, the movement is silky smooth, and the build quality is solid and top notch.

http://tuact.com/

No... I don't work for the company but I do a lot of research before I make a purchase. I was looking into getting a Splitfish controller when I noticed something wasn't quite right. The GOOD reviews for the product seemed to be very similar and all posted by people with one review (the one for Splitfish). The BAD reviews seemed to be from real people who didn't have a dog in the hunt. YouTube has videos from DD-whatever where he's trashing other products while trying to show how great the Splitfish product is.... But he never bothers to mention that he is the spokesman for the company.

The list goes on and on but the moral of the story is.... Buyer beware. Do your homework.

Re: if You were able to change 1 thing what would it be?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:09:55 GMT

I make it so that every on-target shot I fire gets registered, people actually die when I shoot them, and if I duck around a corner the bullets would stop hitting me. Ahhh... What a wonderful world that would be.

Re: Playing with a party is a nightmare

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:12:52 GMT

Playing in a party with people spread across the country is the kiss of death. Oddly enough... I played with the same people on MW2 and we had no problem.

I am bad about throwing Semtex as I am about to run through a door.... Only to have it stick to the door frame and blow me up as I run past it.

Re: How many kills do you have with the ACR?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 00:12:44 GMT

2,145 kills with the ACR. 26,140 kills total.

Re: I need an answer from a developer.

I guarantee that if some of those people with 2+ KD's played on my connection on a daily basis they would be a 1.x KD player. In fact... Just the other night the CoD Gods smiled on me and swapped my connection with a 3.0 KD buddy of mine and I went 36-8 while he went 23-19. He immediately wanted to switch lobbies because his advantage was gone for ONE GAME.

I can handle getting beaten by a better player. When I clearly out think, out maneuver, and out play the other person only to get killed because my bullets don't register.... I RAGE.

Re: I need an answer from a developer.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:53:40 GMT

It's no exaggeration and it happens to me quite often. From my viewpoint I have no time to react and am literally dead after the first perceived hit. From the viewpoint of the other person they hit me 4-5 times as I stood there looking like a n00b.

I have seriously considered getting a capture card for no other reason than to make videos of the absurd deaths that I encounter. All too often I will put 2-3 bursts from the Type-95 into someone, only to be turned on and killed with one bullet from his MP7.

Re: How much time to get to 10th prestige?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:35:33 GMT

I am averaging 28 hours per prestige (I am mid-8th prestige witn 230 hours played). I tend to only play Domination and primarily use 4-5 different guns and the same perks on nearly every class. I think if you have more varitety in your game types, weapons and perks you will rank up faster.

I believe the real problem is Lag Compensation+Auto-Aim. When Auto-Aim is trying to shoot what your system see's, Lag compensation is making that person wherever he/she is fit for that server.

This makes perfect sense to me.

But in MW3 the game physically slows down massively. midway into a match...

I have noticed that a gun like the ACR actually fires slower on occasion. I thought I was crazy but other people I play with have noticed it too. It's like the gun is suddenly firing at around half of the rate that it should.

Last night I was playing with a group and a guy on my team got a reaper. The other team had rage quit so he was messing with me and firing it at me as I ran around the map. Every time it exploded around me my screen would glitch and freeze (I was obviously host). It was a lot like when someone would call in Napalm on Sumit in Black Ops.

I can actually handle the frame rate issues a lot more than the "Jello Bullet" issue. I will take a few dropped frames if every bullet I put on target actually registers. In another game list night I had resorted to a Type-95 because no other weapon seemed to work. I rounded a corner and caught someone looking the other way. I wish I had a PVR because I put 4 bursts right on target only to have him turn and kill me with an MP7. That was almost enough to make me rage quit CoD all together.

Re: Lose the stupid white skulls!

I actually like the skulls. I do wish they would go transparent when you aim through them (along with the flags and symbols in Domination).

Re: Playing in a party - Is it a crutch?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 01:11:30 GMT

I play with a party almost exclusively. In the clan challenge today we were in random lobbies and it did feel a little like cheating when we would come up against teams full of split screeners and new players. One game in particular, there were two sets of split screeners on the other team and their KD's were both below 0.25. In that particular game the entire enemy team got 11 kills combined.

Cheating? No.

Fun? Hell yeah.

This phenomenon was happening really bad yesterday. MASSIVE swings in the connection through the course of a game. It's ridiculous.
