Re: A few stupid things about this game.

They will NEVER give you an option to not join games in progress, because EVERYONE would check "no" and then games would never fill up once people left. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I assure you, this will NEVER happen.

Actually OP, when you get shot 3 feet around the corner, that means that even though your screen showed you that you were around the corner, you were in fact NOT yet around the corner. Frustrating, but not much can be done about it. All I'm saying is that MW2 had this issue sparingly (It happened to me maybe 20 times total and I have over 50 days of playtime on MW2) Black ops it happens 10 times DAILY. I am not saying Treyarch sucks, they are actually amazing, but there IS something wrong with the sync/lag compensation, regardless of the fact that they will not admit it.

I am a very easy going person and I don't get mad easily, but there is one phrase that gets me sooooo angry I wish I could punch the person saying it right in their throat. "Wow he HARDSCOPED me, what a ***"

Seriously, you stupid POS, that's how the sniper was meant to be used, you tard barn escapee.

Re: Maps 24/7

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 00:51:45 GMT

The first reason they don't have a 24/7 playlist for ANY map is because that would allow people to have higher scores and that is not fair to the rest of the players. For example, my SPM this week before the nuketown 24/7 was 276 in domination, which was ranked in the top 4,000. Now, after the weekend, I am ranked 35,000 (With the exact same SPM) that is RIDICULOUS in every sense of the word.

The second reason they don't have this map on regularly, is the same reason they don't have double XP on all the time. People would finish the game too fast and move on to something else. Its genius marketing for real, there are 120,000 people playing the gametype daily, thats insane. They would be MORONS to make that list available every day.

If anything you should consider yourself lucky that you don't have to pay to play 24/7 on nuketown and that it is available at all.

Its been half fixed. It now works in Ground War TDM, just not ground war Domination. Although 75 percent of ground war matches are domination, but at least its a start.

Re: W/L discussion

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 08:48:26 GMT

Well someone in your party must be hosting, because I get disconnected multiple times a night.

I created a 2nd account and I have 12 losses, ALL of which are from getting diconnected, via the host dashboarding, or host migration failing, I can't even keep the W/L above 10.0, it's ridiculous, AND I get host 5 out of 10 matches. So go figure.

I was just saying its sad that you HAVE to get host in order to have a semi decent win loss ratio.

Re: W/L discussion

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 02:17:10 GMT

Win loss SHOULD be one of the main factors on how good someone is, but unfortunately dahsboarding, and dahboarding alone (except signing out, thats the "must be logged in to xbox live" error) has ruined it.

If you or any of the members if your team cannot pull host and KEEP it, then you have no chance of getting over a 2.0 WL. Its sad, but you know the guys running around with 12.0+ or 22.0+ W/L only have that because they are able to be host all the time. And funny enough, most of those players losses are FROM them not getting host and getting disconnected.

The issue is dashboarding, plain and simple, and I have been saying for a few months now, if dahsboarding is not somehow fixed (I know its an issue with the xbox itself, not CoD) the majority of the competitive players will stop playing. I can tell you, as a competitive player, that there is nothing that angers me more then when I hand a team a good beatdown, and the host disconnects, not only ruining it for me, but also for the 16 other people in the lobby.

In my opinion, being host is a RESPONSIBILTY you are awarded for paying good money for your internet, and there is no more disrespectful, cowardly, childish thing you can do than manipulate (lag switch) or sever the connection all together.

In the real world (which most of us live in) if you ruin or hurt the experience of other people you are punished.

I have heard the example used that if you go into Disneyland and start cutting in line, causing problems, ruining the experience of others, you are escorted out of the park. They could care less if you paid for the ticket because when you purchased the ticket (in this case, the game) you agreed to a standard set of generally accepted principles and if you break those, you should be punished.

Sorry for the long rant, it's just that dashboarders are the thing that angers me the most, and people who quit. Because its not just about the game, it's about the fact that the game is a microcossum for life, where we are now at the point where EVERYONE thinks they are owed everything, and no one obeys the rules and quits early, they don't stick things out, and could care less that they ruined someones experience. Whether it is a video game, or a theme park, or a movie, or anything else that you can think of. I guarantee you can remeber multiple times where someone you didnt know ruined your experience.

We live in a world full of attention whores with no moral compass. As long as long as they get their money,and their precious attention, they could care less about anything or ANYONE else.

Selkies, I played with you the other night, and you dashboarded right at the end, your team had lost and I went 35 and 30 getting that tough win and you dashboarded. Im sure you remember because I sent you a message afterward and called you on it. Amateurs.

Re: M16 Or G11

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 05:09:55 GMT

G11 has a bigger clip, more ammo and a better rate of fire.
M16 can have attachments (supressor mainly) but it better for long distances.

Long story short, if you sit back more, M16. If you move around more, G11.

You are talking about something so insignificant as a spec of dust on 1 table in 1 room, of 1 house, of 1 neighborhood, of 1 state, of 1 country. It doens't make ANY difference what you do, as long as YOU are happy with the decision.

Re: Funship.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 02:10:16 GMT

I have ALWAYS thought the gunship should have an extra flare, or at the very least, let you be able to dodge incoming rockets to some degree. I agree though, the gunship is an 11 killstreak and you should be able to tell where they spawn and kill them immediately if you are good enough. I also think that SAM turrets have ruined air support, it makes it too easy to take out killstreaks.

I heard a rumor that SAM turrets are 8 pointstreaks in MW3, maybe treyarch will change them for their next game...

Re: Funship.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 02:02:08 GMT

Those are good suggestions corbin, but he is not refering to that. He is referring to the glitched gunship in ground war that does not work when you call it in. On a side note OP, I have noticed that even in ground war the gunship seems to work more often than not in TDM, but doesn't work at all in domination.

And the reason there is a 1.5 second delay in the red squares is because when the game first came out, people complained about getting spawn killled by a gunship and chopper, so they added a delay to the red squares.

Re: Killstreak K/D

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 22:23:47 GMT

Chopper Gunner    8749 Kills/ 432 deaths 20.25 KD
Dogs                    2031 Kills/ 255 deaths 7.96 KD
Gunship               3709 Kills/ 70 deaths    52.98 KD
Napalm                6853 Kills/ 316 deaths 21.68 KD   (Just curious, anyone even CLOSE to this with napalm? I am the napalm master BTW)

But this really isn't your KD with killstreaks because you are not using the killstreak when you get killed by it, that's IMPOSSIBLE. Unless you kill yourself with your chopper or Hind.

Yes and no! Dashboarding can really up a persons k/d if they don't care about losses! I myself have a .93. I sucked at this game the first few months and have been handicapped by my internet. Never get clearwire for isp! Back on topic! I have recently been putting up huge k/d stats and in the last 4 weeks I have gone from .86 to .93 and still rising! Just last night I ran 13-2 in S n D and I don't even play it that much!! I will be up over 1 very soon as the game has finally sarted to flow for me! Some people have a big k/d and get owned by my "you suck .93" I found that running ghost pro and ninja pro have really picked up my stats! I camp a little when the situation is called for but I would say 90% of the time I am a silent flanker/rusher! K/d for some is a thing to watch as there are some really good people that play this game! For the most part k/d means nothing to me! I'll take on your 2.3.4.5.plus k/d with my spaz or mac 11 and own your azz!!!

I normally scoff at people who complain about bad internet, but seeing as how I also had Clearwire up until 2 months ago, I feel your pain. And seriously the word handicap doesnt even begin to describe what Clear does to you. Playing on Locale only with the BEST possible signal I was 2 bar in EVERY match, it really is just piss-poor for online gaming.

Maybe you didn't read the non-disclosure agreement?

Consider editing it and deleting the youtube video.

Before they edit your access to the site.

I was thinking the same thing Wiggy, I have seen multiple topics about the Elite and couldn't help but get angry over the fact that they agreed to the non-disclosure agreement and are now ruining the surprise for everybody. Fantastic work CoD community, apparently having an age requirement doesn't weed out the morons.

Genocide, he was saying that as frequently as people dashboard and disconnect that it wouldn't be possible to have a high W/L because of all the times the host leaves or dashboards, however you and I both know that if you have host-worthy internet, you can fix that really easily. I know though he has no knowledge of call of duty.

Re: watch out 4 hackers with falsified stats

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 09:52:57 GMT

Just to clear this up, a negative accuracy has been a glitch with the leaderboards since Call of Duty 4, it is nothing new and if you don't know about it, then that just shows your lack of knowledge of Call of Duty.

Once someone gets over 215,000 hits their accuracy number turns negative, trust me, it has happenned to me on MW1, WaW and MW2 and it has happened to at least 10 of my friends as well.

Secondly, 30 days of playtime is not that outrageous, I have 31 days and I don't even play excessively. I had 52 days on MW2.

Thirdly, having a high W/L does not mean they are a hacker. Obviously you have very limited knowledge of anything about this game, someone who has a great internet and plays with a team is perfectly capable of having a 7.00 W/L, in fact I have 3 people on my friends list who have very high w/l, one of them has a 11.00 W/L, one of them has a 22.00 W/L and the other has a 12.00, all of them have host-worthy internet and as long as they are host, there isn't going to be any migrations or hosts leaving.

Don't report people just because you think they are too good to be true, because I assure you if they were a hacker, they would have already been banned, and if anything you will be the one who gets banned for feedback tampering and false reporting. Seriously.

Re: Zombies Suxx! Nuff said

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 09:28:55 GMT

Your next project should be telling Microsoft that no one likes their Xbox system and they should focus all of their efforts on Windows. Do you realize how much of their fanbase is based on zombies? Not to mention Zombies is the biggest advantage Treyarch has over Infinity Ward. They both make great, equal games and Zombies is the true standout for Treyarch. Not to mention that this obviously has Activision's blessing, and you mean to tell me that Activision, which has a multimillion dollar advertising and marketing department, made a mistake in endorsing an all zombies map pack? This will be a big deal and ENSURES that Treyarch is ramping up some SERIOUS zombie gameplay for their next game. Get used to it buddy, Zombies isn't going anywhere.
