Re: Matchmaking in EU better on PS3 than on 360?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 09:44:30 GMT

your having a laugh right?

Played the clan ops on Monday night... Every lobby was full off Yanks.. I live at the top off Scotland.. seriously.. how is that matchmaking me with the 'Best' connection.

I have friends all over the UK with Internet services from a broad range off providers.. each and every one off them has the same problem.

I wish they would just set the connection up so 'Best' locks the matchmaking to your home country and wont allow players from outside your country into that lobby regardless off if they are in a party or not.

My hardened edt wont work half the time either, i get 'failure during startup' message..

Sometimes it starts first time.. others after numerous attempts.. I've given up completely on a few occasions as well.

Re: Posible solution to host lag compensation

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:03:12 GMT

Here's an odd one.. happened Wednesday night I think..

Party off 4 (im in that party) join a TDM game. As it starts everyone on our team gets connection interrupted, when you try to move you get put back to a previous position constantly. I.e it would probably take at least 1 minute to walk/run 100 in game meters.

We bring up the scoreboard and everyone has either 3 or 4 bars... at this point the enemy team players start to leave the game along with the the 2 random players on our team..... (obviously happening to them as well).. up comes the 'enemy forfeiting message so the host should be either myself or one off the other 3 players in my party... right???

As we fight among ourselves for a minute trying to figure out who among us has the 'pikey Internet we decide to leave the game one at a time, once out and back to the menu we rejoin the match..

I ask you... who was the host? because there was no migration when any off us left...

13th player???

Weirdest experience yet on this game..

Re: What is your Perk 3?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 18:14:05 GMT

There are quite a few perks in this game that fall into the 'garbage' catagory in my book.. Ghost is right in there.. but if you think and find you do better with it on... use it.

Re: What is your Perk 3?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:09:00 GMT

This game seems to favour hip firing with a laser attatchment so dexterity really helps..

Try this class for rushing, flanking..

SMG off choice, Laser and silencer

Perk 1 - flak jacket

Perk 3 - Dexterity + tac mask

You have 3 points left to use.. personally i dont use equipment so i would take another 2 perks or a third attachment and scavanger..

With this setup you can run in there, get your gun ready instantly and you dont need to worry about that shock charge sitting next to the bouncing betty cos neither will stop you..

Hmm.. i never thought about it last night but now you mention it the games i played after i was forced to update the game settings... were... pretty darn good..

I havent given this game 12hours off my time yet... which considering i played other COD's to death i think shows just how bad i actually get it...

I have no doubt it was just luck off the draw.... i'll crack on with it tonight tho just to see..

Re: Same ISP, 2 different PS3s, 2 completly different connections.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 11:33:24 GMT

Give both PS3's a static IP address and assign one off them to the routers DMZ, set the other PS3 with port forward rules.

I cant give you a guide as every router is different, port forward.com will give you the ports you need and usually a guide on how to do it on your specific router.

Re: Dead Silence, Awareness, Supercrunch, & $200 Headphones...

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:47:21 GMT

Myself and 3 other clan members all use Astro A40 or A50's, I have personally tried different settings within the game but enemy movements simply cannot be heard. Dead silence and awareness are the most useless perks in this game.

This game is broke in so many ways..

Re: Where do you think I SHOULD have been ranked?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:37:42 GMT

League play.. good idea... implementation.. not so good.

Competitive play out with a LAN should be done on dedicated servers only, It cannot and will not work properly over the current hosting by player system..

Its obvious that the rage quitting is due to getting beaten by lag. I've been on both sides within league play and its just frustrating.

If its to stay on the current setup the only real way would be to region lock the matchmaking so you cannot play with people outside off your country... I really don't get why this isn't standard permanent practice for matchmaking across the board anyway and it would be welcomed by the players.. (MW3 was region locked on release)

Why not trial it for 10 days, tell everyone its happening via the new in game message update information page thing (deep breath) that appears when you go online, make it stand out so people actually look and read it.

Tell people to give their feedback on this forum.. Even better have a feedback reporting function within the game... its already there to report a booster/cheater etc, why not use an adapted version to get the data you need.

The tools are there to sort these issues but the reality is our ideas as a community on the subject off connection improvement's, are just ignored.

Cant find games.. The cause is Skill baised matchmaking..!

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:45:48 GMT

I live at the very top off Scotland, as far as you can go before you get your feet wet, I can ping London depending on the time off day anywhere from 36 to 48ms (670miles from me)

I did not set out to test skill based matchmaking but rather just noticed that between the different accounts that I have, getting into games is either easy or just plain non existent. note: any game i do get, plays so out off sync that i just dashboard.

I played bo2 from release until mon 19th nov when I finally gave up. (prestiged then turned it off)

Last night i tried something after noticing that I couldn't get into any games by myself. My main account has a 2.5+k/d, search preference set to 'best' if its left at 'best' I cant get a game. If I switch it to 'normal' it finds one in around 15sec and its full off french, Germans, Spanish and god knows what other Europeans.. The out off sync lag against other enemy players is just crazy! where are the UK players???

My other account has a lower k/d (allot lower) which is achieved from doing stupid stuff just to try and have fun... I think you get thats coming next...

I can get into games on the 'best' search preference using that account.. sign out....... sign in to my main account...... yip still the same, cant find games...... sign out, sign into profile with low k/d.. search for games... bang, straight in. Still out off sync but there is the odd game that plays ok or very good...

3arc, you are stopping me from playing this game on the 'best' search preference because you cant find players with my k/d local to me. Fix it, don't fix it.. I don't care anymore.... my friends list is full off folk playing older COD's or just different games altogether..

I don't have a single friend that says this games plays good for them anywhere from Liverpool, Essex, Cambridge, Perth, Glasgow.. the list goes on.. these guys are passionate gamers with good Internet.. i.e 120meg virgin etc

Its Broke... it will always be broken... do not fool yourself into thinking otherwise.

Re: Custom game Semtex BUG

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 11:13:00 GMT

Its not just private games. I could not equip a semtex after i prestiged.. dont know if it still does this as i've played about 2 hours off multiplayer in the last 2 weeks..

Lag is just crazy.

Oh well, the search continues. Is their a secret killstreak??

in both supposed nukes how does he know where to face in order to see it go off.? soon as i seen that.. called fake.. I started to look for the flaws in the editing then.....

Spank.. dont bother with FFA..

The font used in the word 'nuke' is close... but it does not match the font used on other scorestreaks. Examine the letter 'e' its clearly different than the letter 'e' in Dragon Fire or EMP Systems.

Its a good troll...

Re: PS3 version of this game is sh*t.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 08:39:17 GMT

Its not just the way it plays on the PS3..

How many people have seen a side by side comparison off ps3 vs xbox.?

Load the map Carrier on both systems as i found that to show the difference best... its disgusting just how clear and sharp the graphics are on the xbox compared to the PS3. The colors are so much more vibrant, PS3 has a grainy look about it.

Lag, freeze, had enough, no more.. Game.co.uk is taking my Hardend Edt back.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 18:40:21 GMT

Blops 1 my first MP COD... sadly it was always a lag fest for me, patch after patch it never got any better.. i gave up in Feb 11 and went and bought MW2.. i played than until PSN went down and then bought it on the xbox which i played until PSN returned.

MW3.. boy that game had me pulling my hair out at times... the last 4 mths was torture to some degree as every other lobbie became a joke with insta deaths.. but i stuck with it and had allot off good times playing with friends.

Blops 2.. my god.. stuck for words. its blops 1 only worse... so bad.. so very bad.

Activison, you are the most dishonest company out there, i bought your hardened Edt for the PS3 and the care package Edt for my son's xbox. I only bought the hardened edt for the nuketown zombies which was exclusive!.. whatever !!! everyone knows the rest off the story..

Hardened Edition - It's being returned to Game for a full refund... the xbox care package should really be going back but my son does actually love it so sadly i cant shove that one back in your face.!

P.s game plays like crap on the xbox as well..

The OP explanation cracks me up at the end. Good ol' fashion lag.... Lag Compensation is supposed to compensate for Lag. So then if there is still lag, then Lag Compensation is not working properly. In the back alley of standoff ten min ago I came around one corner while another player came around the other. I started firing and then instantly died. On the killcam he was already around the corner, stopped, aimed, then fired and I never fired. Explain how that happens. Is there not a way for the system to track what both people did, when they did it, and accurately decide who should win the encounter?

Thats a senerio i'm all to familiar with.. BO1 it was the same... it still is for me, MW3 worked for around 6mths and then it just got worse and worse.. BO2 is just totally unplayable.

How does every player on the opposite team see my location as it is in the game, yet their position and location is at the very minimum 1sec ahead off what i see.

Basically what that statment says to me is that i can transmit my location etc to the host perfectly but i recieve (1000ms+) delayed information from the host on all enemy players. It cant be a bad host.. as the enemy players are getting my wherabouts from the host just fine...

So what is it?
