Re: Simple Question Regarding HC FFA

Everyone has their respective mode that is their favorite. I understand yours was removed but if enough of you who like HC FFA complain and tweet the DEV team in a civilized manner you will get it back.

HC is the least played game option. Sure it sucks that yall are always shunned. But they adhere to the majority not the minority. i think last time I checked there was only 1500 people in the HC FFA playlist before it was removed.

Re: SMG's still winning gunfights, not nerfed enough

JD stated this when he still worked at Treyarch during BO 1. He is stating you cant use theater or the killcams to say there is lag because they aren't accurate depictions of what happened.

to the OP you cant use kill cams to justify your issue.

First and foremost, I can assure you there is nothing wrong or unusual with the hit detection in Black Ops. The reason it is being brought into question with greater frequency than in previous COD titles is because we have new features that encourage and enable further scrutiny than ever before (namely, Theater).

I saw a YouTube video where a player loaded a Wager Match in Theater Mode slowed down time, and showed his bullet traveling straight through his opponent's chest in One in the Chamber. Yet his opponent did not die, and winds up getting the kill instead. As you know, One in the Chamber is a One-Shot-Kill game mode, so the natural conclusion is that there is a bug with hit detection. In reality, it's the visual replay that is misleading you.

The explanation lies within networking, and physics. The fact is, your Ping (latency between you and the Host) will affect what you think you see happening, and what actually happens in a match. Because Theater films are based on the Host's recordings of events, the visual disparity between what you see happening in the game from your perspective may differ from another player's (or more importantly, the Host's). This can result in occasions, like my example above, where misleading visual replays occur. Now, thanks to Theater, so many more people can go back, scrutinize, and upload their cases to YouTube and flood social media with questions. Whereas in past games, the debate stopped at shouting "GAH, stupid lag!" over the mic.

Killcam works a little differently, but the same principles apply. Some people notice that a guy was *way* outside of Knife range, but still got the knife kill. This leads to another perception that there is problem with Knife hit detection. This can be especially visible in Game Winning Killcams that end with a knife, often times it looks like the knife comes nowhere near the guy, but it still gets the kill. Because especially when a player is already on the outer-boundaries of knife range, that extra half-step of disparity can really stick out like a sore thumb.

The Bottom Line: You shouldn't use Killcam or Theater mode as justification for your kills / deaths. They are designed to be fun replay features for the game, not forensic science lab tools to make your case on YouTube and social media.

A sound that is missing in the game since the patch.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 23:34:44 GMT

Before the patch when you called in a lightning strike and you got a kill you would get the hitmarker sound. Now when you kill someone with the lightning strike you dont hear anything.

Its not that big of an issue its just nice to hear contact.

Re: Raising UAV Scorestreak..Campfest

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:54:23 GMT

Are your really that bad that you cant get a score of 425? Im still getting them like crazy. I don't see the issue.

Re: I want my money back, season pass not worth it!!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:52:48 GMT

So what exactly is the problem again?

You pre ordered the season pass which does NOT include the DLC map Nuketown right at launch. If you pre ordered the game Nuketown was a code in the pamphlet inside your jacket for the game. Nuketown zombies was included in the hardened and prestige editions. I don't see why they should give it to everyone from the get go. The higher packages of the game need to be worth while.

So im confused what's your problem?

Re: What does Christmas day mean for this game?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:48:19 GMT

Sure Treyarch has set up match making to put you in more challenging lobbies but all COD's have done something of the sort.

If you got back to BO1 or MW2 on a new account almost all the lobbies you get into will have all low lvl people. True story happens on PSN and XBOX.

Re: Should I buy BO2?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:43:35 GMT

You should do what makes you happy. Sure you can listen to people tell you all day how bad the game is, but then you could also find someone who really loves it and listen to them tell you all day about it.

None of us can or should make the decision for you on wether or not to buy the game. I would try renting it from red box or something if your afraid of paying th $60 and not liking it.

Re: What does Christmas day mean for this game?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:24:32 GMT

Yes this is correct. I dont re make threads. I just move them to the new forums year to year to keep the discussion going.

Re: What does Christmas day mean for this game?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 05:01:01 GMT

I do read the forum, but since you call Christmas boxing day I imagine your on the orange network? I might have 2 out of 60 matches be laggy, my average ping across the USA is 50, my download is 12 my upload is 1

To sworndeath, I played yesterday and this kid froze everyone jumped up in the air and started shooting AC130 rounds out of his gun, then he unfroze everyone and started shooting care packages at me.

What does Christmas day mean for this game?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 00:45:07 GMT

Every year Christmas is such a joyful time for all of us who have had the game since launch. We know the maps we have found that class that works for us. Just remember how bad we all did our first week with the game. In just a few weeks we will be able to slaughter them and get those Killstreaks you most likely wont ever get without these noobs.

Here are class setups that I have found to be awesome. This will be updated throuout the year.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:46:50 GMT

This is for Run n Gun gamers.

Primary is the MSMC, attachment Fast Mag

Secondary is the B23R pistol

Perk 1 ghost

Perk 2 Toughness, Fast Hands

Perk 3 Dexterity

Lethal Frag grenade

Tactical Concussion

Wildcard Perk 2 greed, take a second perk.

This class has so far been my all time favorite. Its only the second week so im sure I will find something else but for now try this one. I try and update this thread throughout the year with my different class setups for different game modes and such.

Re: Here is a class for you ladies to try on for size!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:44:09 GMT

Here is a really good Domination class I've put together. Its great for capping and its great for defending.

Primary, PDW-57

Secondary, Launcher of your choice, I prefer the SMAW

Wildcards, Perk 1 greed

Tier 1 perks, Ghost and Lightweight

Tier 2 perks, Toughness

Tier 3 perks, dexterity

Lethal, grenade

Tactical, Trophy systems X2

You may ask well if your good at capping why not use tactical mask instead of dexterity? I don't use tac mask because I already have Trophy systems to block the flash bangs, and it blocks grenades. This is also a win win for not needing flack jacket. being that you have 2 trophy systems you can block up to 4 things which almost always gives me and my team to cap B.

Alright ladies and germs. New game mode ideas? Anyone, anyone?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:36:13 GMT

Ive been wondering about new game modes they could create that arent in any other MP game. Or just improvmetns or other options with the current modes we have. If you have any thoughts leave them.

I for one would not mind a playlist of large maps with domination that has 5 flags to capture.

I would like to see a free for all Kill Confirmed.

Re: How Do You Change Your Name On Here?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:31:33 GMT

Wow wait. youve never entered in a forum name and it only uses your ELITE name?

If this is the case than you can still make a forum name. In the bar on the very top of this web page where it says enter ELITE, browse, your stuff, etc... click the cog wheel on the very far right of the bar.

it should take you to your account page where you can link your PS#, XBOX, or steam account. You should be able to edit your real name your forum name and your address.

Note: you can only change your forum name once. and if you have already changed it once you will never be able to change it again unless you make a new account like I stated above.

I hope this helped.

Re: How Do You Change Your Name On Here?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:25:12 GMT

Sorry you cant. If we could all edit our Forum names they (moderators) would never be able to keep tabs on us.

The only way to get a new name is to make a new account with a new email.

Re: HAHA, Treyarch are a joke!! Remington is being nerfed, even after being proved to be underpowered along with the other shotguns!!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:21:45 GMT

In a real life situation in close range a shot gun will blow someone away. I can see why you want the shotguns to stay the way they are. But you have to look at it from game stand point. One hit kills should be very limited with any sort of gun in CORE. Your statements on shot guns need to be one hit kills is dumb. If they are going to be one hit kills almost every time then I want my SMG, LMG's, pistols, rocket launchers, grenades, etc... to all be one hit kills. But now its starting to sound like hard core.

The shot guns on all of these close range maps except for like 2 or 3 of them just rule the lobby. Yes we all know I could use it too.

If you think about what they have fixed it all seems logical, nothing sounds idiotic.

Re: Hijacked Is the Worst COD Multiplayer Map Ever!

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:30:28 GMT

I dont play Hardcore like ever. But the other day I was playing with a friend and he wanted to play HC CTF. The first map we played on was Hijacked. The enemy team set up sentry guns and guardians in such a way that every time you spawned you died. There was Nothing you could do. You would die before you could escape the guardian. and the guy was controlling the sentry gun so it didnt matter what perks you had on. Guy got close to 90 kills by time it was over. Sure I could rage quit but thats not me.
