Re: Does anyone know of a name glitch/hack?

Bloody doubters! It definetly happens. If it was the no tag perk why would it turn RED?

I have been seen this many times and believe it is a lag issue relating to packet loss.

Had high hopes for this weapon after enjoying it so much in campaign but after playing with it's nerfed beyond belief version in TD I dont think I'll be bothering with it any more.

Unless you get a direct hit to the body with what is supposed to be grenade (even a small one) it does little damage.

I have been so dissapointed with it's effectivness after I've ranged a prone sniper then released the projectile and watch it explode within a meter of his head only to see him get up and run off whilst i'm waiting for the weapon to return to position from a ridiculously huge kick.

It's kick leads you to believe you have just launched 1 kilo of plastic explosive but the damage witnessed make you think it was just hot modelling clay.

Why bother?

Only good for nearly killing campers in rooms and making them move.

Just got shot across the map by an assualt rifle through a ***** bush in Black Box. Watched his kill cam and he lined me up perfectly from 100ms away without seeing me and there is no ******* way he knew I was there. Not going to lash out for a PVR just to prove there are hackers and aimbots exist.

Re: Worst map?

Sense of accomplishment should be felt if you pwn in all maps.

Which I dont.

My least favourite is Downturn due to it's horrible shading, rooms that look alike and general messyness.

Next would be Bootleg because of the shading. It's just too dark.

I used to dislike Dome, but now I understand the spawn layout It's grown on me.

Favourites would be Villlage, Lockdown, Fallen in that order.

Just wondering if it's a coincidence that hacking picks up a few months ahead of a new game release.

How would you like to be named and shamed by some trolling piece of filth?

Not a good idea.

Saw behaviour in a recent game of TDM that had me wondering.

I was doing a little camping and a guy came around a corner on my right flank firing at me the whole time.

His first shots where hitting the boxes and junk to my right untill he got a bit more around the corner and could actually see me. I wasn't in a conventional spot either. Thanks to Lag comp and Lmg slow wheeling i just had no reply to this *tactic*.

It was so unusual I watched his killcam and he hadn't used a portable radar and hadn't seen me run into my nook. The player started firing directly at me way before he was around the corner. Niether did I see the infamous red square.

A check of Youtube confimed my fears.

Is hacking is back to ruin the game? Possibly.

Once installed a sight to the L86 went in game to find it wasn't on and I had rapid fire instead.

Fixed itself after resarting the console. Hey what the! How did I get on a WAW forum? thses sites are as bad as the game.

It's a glitch. And it's a recent one. Something to do wth servers I'm guessing.

I've got an excellent connection (ADSL2+, 22ms ping, fully portforwarded open NAT} and it still happens occasionally. Doesn't matter if I use my old controller or my new one. Definately not accidental button hit either I'm not that uncoordinated {unless I have split personality disorder}.

Even though I have a good connection I have noticed some erratic lobbying % count-up behaviour ie slow and stops at about 50%.

Re: L86 LSW, and why doesn't anybody use it?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 04 May 2012 17:59:56 GMT

Have been using the L86 LSW for a while now in TD's and this is what I've noticed.

When lag is gone it 5:1's easily {do know the frustration of the enemy}

Using kick is a must in team games

It's bloody heavy/slow. Though it is a small LMG.

LAG EFFECTS IT GREATLY ie with it's high fire rate you can waste ten rounds before you hear a hit.

I've put the silencer on it In team games because of these effects;

covering fire gets the enemy scrambling probably only because they don't know it's just the LSW, Range is not affected when shooting down heli's {which it is VERY good for, but when shooting at the enemy between say 40 to 70 meters it looses power dramatically. Then strangly it becomes a sniper rifle at greater distances getting frequent 3 round *longshots*
It's a weapon that benefits from controlled bursts as the game programming seems to reward trigger releases wth a kill.

Prefered setup for FFA is the grip and quickdraw.

I't was a favourite of mine in MW2. As it was THE allrounder, being able to tough it out up closeISH with shotguns and then double tap the sniper hideing on the distant grassy knoll. Ah! Good times.

It's a different weapon in MW3 and not for the better. Wish it still had the old *open* sights

I wouldn't recommend it for faster paced gameplay such as FFA as it's just too slow to turn but blindside or surprise a team and there will be blood {Lag allowing}.

Summing up.

Good for area defense, covering fire, surprise attacks and taking out helicopters quickly.

Bad for running and gunning, rapid wheeling, accuracy stats and hit marking in frequently laggy gameplay.

I"m signing again months later but I might as well face it They will never fix it. DLC made it worse! being put into games with players in other countries more often resulting in some of the most frustrating gaming of my life. Occasionally it swings the other way though and I see what it's like to benefit from the bad programming thats totally biased one way or the other. I'm selling the game it's ruined. Not going back to COD.

Re: "MAP SIZES" Anyone want Bigger Maps?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 06:38:29 GMT

Bring them on!! Small maps turn the game into an unrealistic spree/point gathering exercise.

(see NUKETOWN, DOME) Where spawning systems fail and start of match granade tosses can kill your whole team.

Perhaps snipers should have there own specific XXL maps with large multi story buildings on the edges and cover structures in the middle that suit that weapon type. With game modes to suit. Here is a couple of Idea's I prepared earlier- SEIGE: Which cold be a team game similar to capture the flag involving a few snipers V many rifles (extra XP point to the rifles to make up for the lack of opposing players). Spawning after a delay.

Or NEMISIS: Snipers V snipers.

I am not a sniper but might play as one if the game suited them more.

Favourite map-STRIKE.

Would be happy to see a drop in detail (Chickens, Non burning fires etc) as a pay off for larger maps.

Just a game disc brought out that was purely online (no story game) would suit me fine.

How about a RANDOM MAP GENERATOR. Not so silly.

Re: What's your least favourite way of dying?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 05:54:12 GMT

#1 Something I did

#2 Lag compensated kills around corners or where player is invisible

#3 Hacker kill or Booster guard kill.

#4 Quickscoped or close range sniper kill while I'm spitting hot SMJ's

#5 FINAL STAND. How many times have I pushed 6 rounds into somebody with no retaliation only to see them lie on their back and casually shoot me dead.

#6 Any kill that I regard as being unrealistic

Re: Would you play this?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 05:22:59 GMT

Getting VERY sick of playing this game online. SO

Ideas for Improvements in future editions:

LAG- (Latency grouping FAIL) Dedicated servers, skill matched, country specific. Stop rewarding poor connections!!!! (Dreaming?)

REALISM (get some)- Just make the weapons realistic (never patch nerf). Allow guns that have the option in game to be fired semi auto or full. Get rid of the perks that alter reality (rapid fire, quick reloading etc) Maybe dont have so many weapons too. That would make it easier to program the little difference in weapons. Random frag damage over a realistic distance for granades. Stun grenades that stun (blurry vision, possible blackout?/drop weapon) not slow running down down.

SPAWNING- issues ad-nauseum (would be helped by larger maps)

SNIPERS- Cool to be one in RL but if you run and gun with them YOU ARE A $#^ & $## & A ####!

QuickScoping is Pandering to these people and ruins the game as much as hacking does.

Specific game mode ideas: NEMISIS-snipers V snipers?, SIEGE-few bunkered in snipers V many rifles?- bonus points to rifles to make up the difference. Even specific Maps.

MAPS- No small/circle maps (see spawning). I'm sure we would live with swapping some of the unnecessary detail (fire effects that dont burn as an example) or even the offline part of the game (the story) for a larger experiance.

Could it be possible to make a random map generator??? (adding to realism as you would never know the layout of a warzone you hadn't captured)

PANIC KNIFING- Knife as a secondary weapon. Bayonet as an attatchment? (deadly to the touch, this would sometimes cause both players to die if they are both stupid enough to run around a corner without checking it first). R3 button either whips the rifle butt or stabs with Bayonet (distance required) if it is attatched.

AKIMBO- Just get rid of it. OK it looks cool but F*** THAT S*** in a warzone!(rant rant rant)

The online game is deteriorating into a frenzied mess that is turning me away from C.O.D. alltogether. Strategy is going out the window.

OH and ELITE is a SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rant over. PEACE!

Game will not connect. Are the servers down AGAIN?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 00:06:38 GMT

I have been trying to play online but keep getting the "there are no Activision servers available at this time" message.

Been going on for about 18 hours now.

My Internet is fine. The only slow thing on the web is this site.

Where are the STATUS updates we are told to look for in the error message?!
