Re: Should hardcore use a new method for team killing?

DO NOT USE A WARTHOG IN HC

That is all.

Re: Sniper Rifle Hitboxes - Need to be fixed

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:15:18 GMT

yeah that happened to me in hardcore mode: I point-blank shot a team-mate and there was no hitbox and no kill. Not that I enjoy friendly-fire, but I was shocked that my bullet just didn't happen !!

Re: what a JOKE the servers are!! I pay good money to play online and it does not even tell u the truth that the online server is not working!!

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:11:27 GMT

Agreed! The status page is probably just a static web-page - it always shows the green "Defcon 5"

All online services are NOT fully operational !

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:09:39 GMT

Status page shows that everything is great, it actually isn't !!

It gets boring when there's too many snipers

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 03:02:07 GMT

When a game consists of more than 50% snipers, the game gets horribly boring.

And you can tell when this happens - it's when the kills drop to maybe one every 10 seconds.

So, it makes sense to limit the number of snipers per game...

Re: The latest patch and its two biggest mistakes.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:47:17 GMT

even with foregrip installed, it climbs. Foregrip is actually a waste of an option slot for the PDW

Re: Why is there way less lag in hardcore?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 11:41:03 GMT

There's plenty of lag...

1) I get hit markers (even two) AND I use the FMJ attachment !!

2) I'll dart out from a corner and back in... I often get killed eventhough I am behind the corner again (quite a way in too)

3) you can see it on finishing kills quite often: point-blank kills requiring 4 on-target-shots before the enemy player dies

It's pathetic

Re: Servers down?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 23:09:13 GMT

I am in WA, USA, and get the message "NOTICE That Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 server is not available at this time..."

Of course, the BO2 status page shows servers are fully functional. Reminds me of AOL back in 1996.

NOTE: I just now did the XBOX Live connection test and that test passes !

UPDATE: after my network test, I relaunched BO2 and it signed in. Crisis averted.

Re: Saved a decent video - how do I upload it to my youtube channel ?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 04:01:53 GMT

I found the detailed solution here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nck5QYzrH6M

It's actually a very non-intuitive process.

I got exceedingly annoyed when the Render video option was not available; my video was 2 minutes, 1 second long :-(

My video is still rendering - it's been about 5 minutes and it's 1/3 done

I log in to Elite, click Link Youtube, and I get this error message :

{"error":{"message":"restservice.exception.failed_authentication","code":0,"addi tional_errors":["Consumer could not be authenticated. Authentication is required for GET requests."]}}

LAAAAAME !!

Saved a decent video - how do I upload it to my youtube channel ?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 02:31:36 GMT

So I got a pretty decent gameplay video I wanted to show my buddy. Went to Theater mode, selected video, and selected "Save".

Now, how do I upload the video to my youtube account ?

Re: Boom in Boosting

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 02:26:49 GMT

I saw two guys boosting in Hardcore deathmatch.

They got several packages flown in... I shot them both

Re: Kicking People in Hardcore

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 04:56:59 GMT

I find hardcore to be the best multiplayer gaming experience, and eventhough I try my best to not kill my own team, it happens because there's no label on the player.

I find that it takes too long for the label to fade in.

Re: The amount of quiting has destroyed the game. Pls increase quit punishment

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:36:39 GMT

If I don't get a hit marker and die, when I definitely shouldn't have, then I always quit the game and queue up somewhere else. Unless I'm drinking... in that case the lag's all in my head ;-)

Hardcore needs more game modes

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:22:45 GMT

I love hardcore; it's awesome that players die when I shoot them first (depending on lag to get my first shot off), and it's awesome that the players really are mature (for the most part).

However, 4 game modes gets rediculously boring. How about some additional Hardcore game modes ?

Re: Peacekeeper available to all!

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 00:06:08 GMT

is the "Peacekeeper" good now ?

Re: There's always that guy....

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:25:00 GMT

That will happen with new players who don't know the map. Or their lag is just crap - i.e. the guy from Texas being paired against a team of UK'ers.

Spectator without being kicked / using a game slot ?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:12:47 GMT

In multiplayer I sometimes want to see how a well-performing player plays. Is it possible to forfeit my spot in the game and go into "Spectator" mode ?

I've noticed that if you join a game that's already in progress then you go into spectator mode by default - however that's really unfair to the team since I'm not participating (and hence get kicked).

Re: Map Size

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 01:58:30 GMT

Maybe if CoD gets dedicated servers then that would be possible

Re: It's beyond a joke now

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 01:41:09 GMT

I was shooting at someone and they just disappeared - then looking around was incredibly laggy.

1 minute between battles is boring (so is Hosts Migration)

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 01:37:33 GMT

Match making takes too long; at least 1 minute between battles feels so incredibly boring.

Don't you hate it when the max number of players is ready to play but the status is still "waiting for players"...
