Re: Just one of those nights!

Yes, that's what keeps me playing.

I cherish those games and try to forget the ones where I am on the receiving end of those...

I would think you need to continue to seek help from 3Arch or Activision

I hear ya! Getting the jump on someone (when they aren't even looking) and being the one to die is a little frustrating... okay, maybe more than a little!

Just one of those nights!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:53:18 GMT

Ever had one of those nights where you just can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn? Yeah, that was me last night. I played maybe 4 games before I decided it was best that I just turn off the Xbox and go to bed. Don't know if I was just tired, if lag was a factor, or if the other teams were just that much better, but it was obvious that I wasn't on my A game. Seemed like every head-to-head matchup I was reacting slowly, aiming at stationary objects, or just looking the opposite direction from the way I should be.

Anyway, here's hoping this weekend is a little better and, consequently, more enjoyable!

If I recall, Domination is not a HC choice. That is also a sticking point for me, as I loves me some Domination!

Good to know, I may give it a whirl again.

Re: Any way to block Hijacked?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 20:38:29 GMT

I thought Nuketown in Blops was bad, but it was nothing compared to them adding it to the Domination rotation... then the town was so blown to bits by the time the game was over (everyone chunked grenades, used grenade launchers, called in bombing strikes) that the town was no longer useful for nuking...

That was the worst use of that map of all time!!

There's no guarantee that you won't be booted from a lobby, or all players leave but you and you are forced to abandon it. Then you rejoin another one, only to find it is set for Hijacked! LOL

I don't have the same issue with any maps, but I can understand how some would dislike Hijacked much like most did with Nuketown in the original Blops.

I tried HC and didn't like the respawn timer... I am a rhythm player, so it totally messes with me. Has this changed recently?

Re: Knifing needs fixing

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:43:46 GMT

Agree completely! Knifing in BO2 is horrid.

Case and point: Sniper is crouched on the roof in Standoff, I dash around the corner and knife his face... but miss!!! He is caught completely by surprise so he has no immediate reaction. But as I scrambled to back off the roof while trying to recover and shoot, he points his weapon at me and boom, I am dead. My son and I just looked at each other in bewilderment.

Re: When lame host drops, they should be punished

I don't think safety and gaming are in the same category. Do all online games have issues? I think so. Do they get corrected over time? They had better, or the game will go down the sink pretty fast.

Re: What is considered a good / above average KDR / SPM?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:16:34 GMT

I have two different load outs for Domination. I have named one the Run and Gun, where my main concern is kills and making sure I am picking off the snipers and other "camper/defenders" so that my team can advance and get B.

The other load out uses smoke grenades and the Millimeter scanner sight (affectionately named Smoke and Mirrors). I concentrate on captures and defends while using this loadout. I usually use one for the first half and the other for the second depending on how things are going. However, if one is doing the job, it will be the loadout all game.

If you are having issues with captures, especially B, then create a loadout around smoke grenades, flak jacket, and maybe a bouncing betty or two. You will find it a little easier to stay alive long enough to capture.

Good luck, and yes the 14 capture game was a lot of fun. Didn't even know I had that many until the end of the match. Was too busy trying to win because it was down to the wire in the final minute.

My son made that observation last night while playing. Fully automatic snipers are silly!

Re: Best COD ever?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:32:26 GMT

I am enjoying the MP the most in this version of the franchise. Can't speak to all CODs, but of the past three, this one is better, imo.

Re: What is considered a good / above average KDR / SPM?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:25:19 GMT

Here's how I see it... Take my last two games last night before bed (Domination is my game of choice):

Second to last game on Yemen: 11 Kills, 19 Deaths (.58 KDR) SPM=336 Here's the kicker though 14 captures, 2 defends, and a victory of 166 vs 160. That one was sweet!! I was the highest scorer with over 4000 points btw.

Last game was on Drone. I went 20/19 with a KDR of 1.05. SPM=255 I had 6 captures and 1 defend and we lost 126 vs 200. I did well personally, but it doesn't mean much when we got stomped by a team that held most of the flags the second half of the game.

Which one would you have enjoyed more? For me... the first was sweetness!! The second was entertaining but ultimately disappointing!

Re: Any other "Better than Average Players" feel useless?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:12:50 GMT

I really haven't seen any difference in this one compared to previous titles. My college aged son said the very same thing last night.

Some games I do well, others I don't.

Re: Am I a scrub for using Target Finder?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 20:45:35 GMT

No! If you enjoy the options and find success in using them, then go for it. I don't use one, but I don't think anyone is less of a human (or gamer) because they do.

You bottle minds? ewww... You probably meant "boggling"

Re: What has caused you to get probation... let's list them...

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 15:15:51 GMT

Rec'd 1 min probation one time for just leaving a lobby of a game that had just finished (to work on a new loadout). Other than that, no other probations.

Re: Do People Know What Camping Is

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 20:36:12 GMT

Perfect!

If you go long periods of time without seeing other players, you just might be a camper!
