Re: 1.07 Lag is terrible!

Have noticed major stuttering issues in movement after patch. Too bad I almost was getting my faith back in Tryarch.

Re: Sudden lag/disconnection, have tried everything

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 03:48:40 GMT

Agreed. I have played about 15 games and of TDM and we have noticed glitching and stuttering of our movements. This has all happened after the patch 1.07. I would say it was just me and on my end but it is definetely different after the update, no one is going to tell me otherwise. It's too bad that this happened right before double xp weekend and close to new map release. I won't be buying any new map packs until this is fixed that is for sure.

It's not the players with the broken search preference system its treyarch.

That is where I get confused? Wouldn't that guy in North Korea still be able to join regardless if set either ANY or NORMAL preference? Having 3 options really doesn't make any sense to me. Hell having two options doesn't make any sense. Like Sennalike said it should default to BEST and give the choice of NORMAL to the player to change if struggling to find a game. But BEST still only play with BEST. God the more and more we discuss this it seems like this is the best solution and possibly an easy fix. But it will be nothing but hopes and dreams.

Agreed Snipin. I also thought about putting a ping limit on BEST. I think if this simple solution was implemented we would all be having a good time and playing this game like it was meant to be played.

I saw a video on here saying to turn OFF QOS (Quality of Service) - possible 'buffer bloat' issue I guess. I don't know at this point I'm willing to play the game upside down if it ran smoothly.

Playing with local players EVERYTIME

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:29:31 GMT

So we have all come to agree that playing with people near you is a good thing. We all agree that putting BEST as searching preference is a good thing. But now we all agree that most times when we choose BEST we still get ANY and NORMAL setting players in our lobbies. So then we can come to conclusioin that setting your searching preference to any option is probably a complete waste of time, even though it takes less than 2 seconds to do it

Solution: BEST only play with BEST

NORMAL play with everyone else but players set to BEST

ANY - No longer an option

This is the only way that we will ensure we play with local players and have the best experience playing BO2. We still need NORMAL for the people who do not have any players local to them and are having long wait periods in lobbies.

Thoughts? Other possibilites?

Re: Looking for videos showing BO2 lag

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:33:12 GMT

Dave Vonderhaar just tweeted that he isnt seeing any lag in BO2 with high speed internet and asked for videos to review. He would have to be the most naive person in the history of the world to not realize there is an issue and be unaware of the complaints coming from players who are experiencing this issue. Simply tell him to youtube search black ops 2 lag and there are multiple videos showing this issue again and again and again and....

Re: why is it people are yelling at campers even more in black ops 2

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:22:01 GMT

Two scenerios:

Enemy UAV up w/no ghost equipped - How I play; Move A LOT slower through the map especially if I am in an area that my team is not (equals enemy spawn). I'm ADS corners slower and playing like my life depends on it.

Enemy UAV up w/ghost equipped - How I play; Moving 80-90% of the time knowing that the enemy is watching mini map flying around corners not expecting me because I'm not showing up on the map.

So overall because ghost is unlocked so late the game I tend to move with a lot more caution then I would if I did have ghost.

Re: why is it people are yelling at campers even more in black ops 2

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:21:28 GMT

I actually see a rise in campers and have found myself camping a little more just for the simple fact that when a UAV goes up I know I now have 6 pairs of eyes looking at the mini map giving away my position as a red dot. Worst thing to do is run around like a chicken with your head cut off when the enemy has a UAV in the air, they are just waiting for you to run around the corner watching your every move in the in mini map. I think the not having Ghost until later rank is having reverse effect on camping because people will bunker down when they know the enemy has a UAV in the air, which in all honesty makes perfect sense. Knowing where the enemy is has always been the number one advantage in any FPS game. I have an anti air class as most people but when I die and the first thing I do when I spawn is lock on to UAV I die because it seems like the spawning isn't the best in this game. It's too bad that counter UAV wasn't a little less in scorestreak points given the fact that ghost is so high up in rank now.

Re: Flanking

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 16:05:46 GMT

I have found flanking in this game difficult either do to 1) small overall map sizes or 2) limited spawn locations not sure which is making if more difficult but they kind of go together. Everytime I work my way around the edge of a map and make it to the other side the enemies seem to be spawning right on top of me. I have never been shot in the back so much in any other cod game.

Re: Lag Comp question

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:58:32 GMT

Ahhhh, good point. Then I think all BEST setting players should be matched together as well as NORMAL matched with NORMAL and ANY matched with ANY. Would that work? Might take a long time to find a game however.

Re: Lag Comp question

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:20:38 GMT

I would say lag comp fluctuates during gameplay. Has anyone ever started the game off sprinting and felt it was normal and then a little later on in the game sprinted again and it felt like you had a jet engine strapped to your back. Not only your sprinting was in hyper speed but your movements in general were?

I wish they put a ping limit to other players when choosing best so I know for sure I am getting close matchmaking. Obviously if I sit there and I wait 3-5 minutes without starting a match I will switch back to normal, but let that be my decision. I wouldn't mind seeing a ping limit on both BEST and NORMAL so we know for a fact we are getting good matchmaking. ANY would have no ping limit.

Re: Black ops 2 is the worst call of duty yet ?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 04:39:40 GMT

Because the lag comp is so bad in this game I actually went from hard wired to wireless and changed my router from g band to b band just to knock my connection down even more. It helped a lot and finally put me on even ground. Now just take a minute and actually read what I did, I sabotaged my internet so I could be on equal playing ground with the other players, if that isn't the saddest thing I have ever done to play a cod multiplayer game I don't know what is. I couldn't believe I was doing it just to play this game. And then when I was on equal playing ground almost 1:1 with what I see and enemies kill cam I just realized the maps really suck. It seems like the number of spawn points is decreased ten fold of any other game or its just because 90% of the maps are the size of my garage. I don't know I shut it off tonight and kind of got excited about playing MW3 again, oh god it has come down to that....

Re: double xp never worked !!!=(

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 15:21:50 GMT

Ahhh yes thank you Dibbul, I forgot about that little addition about scorestreak points being displayed instead of xp, that is probably why its put into match bonus because they really don't have another way to display it to the player because the on screen kill score is scorestreak points not xp.

Just making sure everyone knows about Search Preferences settings

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:48:32 GMT

I'm sure most of you already know about changing Search Preferences to 'Best' but thought I would link this vid to better show those people who have no idea. I was level 25 before I realized it last night, it does seem to be a bit better as far as overall 1:1 ration with enemy.

Re: I LOVE probation!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:15:27 GMT

If I enter a game and I die so I am now 0-1 and I rage quit, just leave game and not dashboard, I am still given that death in my overall stats. Its true try it. So I'm not sure why people are saying that rage quitting, at least just from game, will save your precious stats because it doesn't. My question is are people getting probation for rage quitting out of just the game they were in and going back to lobby or are they getting probation for dashboarding only?

Anyone else like throwing the hunter killer right at enemies faces?? Good times.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:02:28 GMT

If you haven't tried it yet you can actually throw the 'paper airplane' right at people for a great looking and very satisfying kill. I don't know why I brought this up I just needed a positive statement on these forums.

Let's have some fun in this great time of depression shall we? Name your best moment so far in BO2 (besides being able to actually play, we get it) and list your top 3 favorite and your least favorite map in BO2.

Best time; Accidently throwing my hatchet and getting a kill as an unknown enemy came around the corner (played it off like I meant to do that)

Top 3

Meltdown

Raid

Yemen

Hate

Plaza (night club) - always getting shot in the back is not fun

Turbine (snooze fest)

Re: THANK YOU TREYARCH & ACTIVISION FOR MY BROKEN PS3

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 17:40:30 GMT

I am counting the days before my ps3 will not work after a hard boot from BO2. I really feel that regardless of ps3 model or how old it is if the community could prove that a game that the consumer paid 60 dollars for gave defect to a 200-300 dollar console, I think that Activision needs to be accountable. The case would come down to proving that BO2 gave defect to your ps3. I am not a software developer by any extent of the imagination but I think some techy out there could prove without a reasonable doubt that BO2 freezing and causing hard restarts did in fact impact your ps3 negatively which finelly let to it not working all together.

I will now and forever look at public beta testing as the best thing that could be done before a release.
