SO OVER IT

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:54:49 GMT

Ok i gave it a shot. and waited for it to be fixed this time. even bought the first map pack.

But this game is more broken than MW3 was.

Honestly its pathetic. this is the only game where adding latency to your connection will improve your aim and the amount of bullets that register.

I have to say the zombies developer did a great job. They are actually passionate about what they do. you can tell they love the game.

But multiplayer is (especially core) is unplayable about 80% of the time.

I dont know if its what they have to do to be able to control and change every aspect of the game.

or if there is some other reason they would make the lag compensation system in this game so bad.

Im actually the last one on my friends list to stop playing. I was the first one to give up on mw3.

bought this game used from someone else who thought it was trash(no money to activision). now i will get rid of it for someone else to laugh at.

figured now would be a good time since the map packs just came out.

I can only hope that the sales drop for the next installment and they decide to finally go back to what made them so popular in the first place.

so until next time. see ya.

its the connection.

this game is broken beyond repair. and they deny that there is an issue. so good luck with mw4.

I agree with the fact that halo is slower so it "feels" like there is less lag.

With the same anount of delay between you and your opponent you will get more bullets to hit in halo because they are moving slower.

but one thing is. you can actually melee in halo.

and it doesnt explain why we can go play mw2 and it works. with the same mechanics as far as the gameplay and motions go.

Id say they did something wrong with this game. unless thats how they wanted it to be. maybe it keeps people hooked as long as you have a good game or two once in a while.

that video is in multiplayer over a lan connection.

its the closest thing ive seen to any accurate test of the lag system.

he indroduces a precise amount of latency then guages the difference between the two players. hes done it with other cods also. he said he did a thousand tests or something.

----probably because in those games----

--------NO ONE COULD SHOOT YOU.------------

(thats why you did so good)

your not that good. get over yourself.

It happens to me too from time to time. I just laugh and think, if you only new what the vast majority of my games look like from my side.

Re: Can someone explain....

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 11:06:09 GMT

did it effect your normal connection(non-xbox)?. ive pondered on if this is my problem.

I would think this was my problem. but ive had them check my lines before and they replaced everything and said it was perfect. they very well could just be lying to me.(customer service is a thing of the past in the US)

although i had to have 3 cable guys come out and mess things up worse until they sent a privately contracted professional out to fix everything. and when i test with my computer its better than anybodies i know. And i only have a problem with BO2 and MW3. BO1 is pretty bad too, but playable.

And how many of those millions have legitimate complaints, compared to how many whinge about things that are part and parcel of gaming online, haven't optimised their setup, or are just butthurt that they aren't as good as they think they are? Then theres all the problems caused by people nerfing their connections - people lagging around the map, with their hotboxes skipping everywhere because they nerfed their connections will likely be blamed on the game being broken too.

No, if millions had legitimate complaints, they'd be doing something about it. Dont be such a sheep. No, I'm not paid by Activision, I just dont put stock in the words of view-hungry youtubers and the idiots that infest this game.

First of all. i can tell you just want some attention. emulating the great macc. but with certain something. oh, its a lack of intelligence. but since i just attempted to play this game and could not get anything close to fair, so i will accommodate.

how many peoples words will come out in your text. no one thinks activision pays you. and those youtubers probably do as much to advertise for this game than activision does.

Im sure the majority of the complaints are legitamate. whos going to take their time to sign up to a forum, or review website. or twitter etc.etc. just to lie about how they suck.

people dont say they get shot before the guy appeared because they're "butthurt". they're "butthurt" because the guy shot them before he appeared.

So why would people "nerf" their connection(like a neon foam ball) (the term makes sense for bullets, not quite for latency) hmmmm, lets ponder on that,

possibly because to "optimize" your setup, is to hinder your gamplay with this game. (sad but true)

they dont do it because it makes them worse. ill tell you that much.

and people dont get 128 kills in one game and 10 and negetive the next game in the same lobby, same opponents.(as i just did).

have you ever read reviews for this game(non sponsored)? they are hilarious. every other one is about lag.

Re: Can someone explain....

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 08:52:20 GMT

Its the game. not you. theres really nothing you can do beyond what you have done.

do a bunch of research on lag comp. theres alot of links ive come across. it will at least help you to understand why your always behined everybody even though your connection is ideal.

set your router back to normal and see if you at least go back to where you were. prob not though.

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 08:40:53 GMT

Its not going to get fixed. theyve already said that there is nothing wrong with the game since there are millions of people that arent complaining about it.

even though there are millions that ARE complaing. i guess its not broken until every single player is giving negative feedback.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:59:42 GMT

this video doesnt really explain lag compensation. just the lag itself.

lag compensation is supposed to "compensate" for people "being in the future or past". I dont know whats wrong with it, but it seems like it over compensates.

unfortunately there is no host advantage and you DEFINATELY have an overall worse experience with the lowest amount of latency. (less actual hitmarkers to bullets fired, more fighting the aim assist[with less lag])

And the reason playing aggressive helps is because the person coming around the corner will always have a few hundred milliseconds to shoot the "camper" before they show up in the "camper's" screen.

so BE AGGRESSIVE BE BE AGGRESSIVE

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:23:02 GMT

Nice wiseguy. thats alot of defends. now someone will top it.

I get alot more rooms full of noobers lately, now that making clans or whater has gotten more popular.

6 8 year olds in a clan. and they dont back out because theyre in a clan together. good for the ego once in a while.

i just had a game with the highest score on the other team was 6-41, all the other scores were similar. our team did not go easy on them for one second. those little kids got what they had coming.

It's likely the problem is that your connection is too good and too consistent. Are you wired? Try going wireless. Try moving the router to give yourself a less consistent connection.

The advice we have to give on these forums is hilarious.

The sad thing is it is actually accurate.

do the opposite of what you would do for any other online video game. or any thing that uses an internet connection for that matter.

Re: Your router, connection and "game lag"

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 22:12:24 GMT

Yes hardcore is definitely more consistant than core. I dont know why. Ive only gotten shot before i see the person round the corner a handful of times.

In core it happens pretty much every time someone rounds a corner. we get used to it and adapt.

Its still plenty frustrating.

And capping my bandwidth helps me every time. not a placebo. more bullets register. bottom line.

only look up the elagphant thread. nothing else by maccabi. it has some info. thats one of the write ups i started with.

no offence mr frack. but that guy is a mor, uh, not of much help. most of his posts are just him insulting people and talking about how the lag is either our falt, or a figment of our imagination.

you wont get much help from these forums. i never did. it took me quite a while to find legit information. every once in a while someone will post a link (you need to read them all). i dont have any bookmarked. but im sure someone else does.

Honestly from the looks of it, you probably wont get it. so just listen to whatever people tell you. and believe whatever makes you feel better about the gameplay.

As far as the garden hose. Your right, i could hang myself with my garden hose. i dont use wifi though.

The keyword you can google for that is latency.

And with the 4g comment, i think hes talking about when his phone automatically connects to his wifi.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 22:59:26 GMT

Just be polite, and when you come across like mided induviduals spark up a conversation and send a freind request. (if your a woman im sure you get a thousand requests anyways). gamers are a lonely people.

everybody else, just mute them.

This game is much more enjoyable(only enjoyable) with some good teamates. plus you can adapt to their play style and probably do much better.

dont pay attention to your k/d. i find i have much more fun just trying to win overall(if i have a team).

and if im solo dolo i go for score per minute. because on a team of randoms. you have a slim chance.

And if you getting shot before you see people. that doesnt make you rubbish. thats not supposed to happen.

Re: What is your go-to class?

for CORE.

Perk 2-toughness+scavenger (perk 2 greed)

Perk 3-dexerity

c4 if they try to hide.

I can usually hold a 2.0 k/d with this. I dont have the patience to camp. i had to do alot of "optimizing" to get this to work though.
