Re: Please do League Play the Right Way

To make league more worth playing they need to give away simple prizes for the best of each season in their division. maybe a dlc for free or half price. something that has a real tangible value and not just a cammo or reticule; but even these would be better than how it currently is, nothing but a rank and emblem.

Re: Please do League Play the Right Way

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:20:02 GMT

There is no incentive that will realy drive players to the game mode. Not everyone likes it and no playercard will change that. No emblem will change that. For not everyone cares about those either. I have several player cards and emblems, but I only use one and only really need one. The rest are waste of space.

They allready offer large amounts of level xp you get 10k for a win. More than you normally get in most normal game modes and you get 7.5k for a loss. Still way more then most will ever get in normal games. If they gave out too much, people would level too fast, reach last rank and prestige too soon, get bored with the game even sooner and stop playing. Once I reach prestige 6 there is no reason for me to play beyond that. I have all 100 CaC at that point, the only thing I really ever work toards. After that, nothing matters to me, not emblems, not playercards, not stats. I play just to play with out caring if I win or loose ever and yes I do play league and play the same way as I do in normal.

League is not really any better then normal games really. Just a different ranking system that really means nothing. I have seen masters and platinums beat by a team of irons. I have seen golds beat by bronzes. So clearly the ranks are not really indicative of skill at the game.

Players should not get more points just because they played better in a previous season. Nor should they loose more either that would be counterproductive. And league is not about k/d or spm it is only about w/l for a reason. So players do not try to pad those other stats and not play the objectives.

I can agree that for loosing teams when a teammate leaves it should adjust teh points lost because of the lower number of players on the team to make it fair. Plus it should not give the wining team as much either since they were playing against a handicapped team.

I agree that during the placement games each game you win should place you against a higher team the next game to better challenge you and see if you are at that level of play and then take the average out of them all and decide where a player belongs.

Currently as it is, you can win all five and still get bronze, when at least it should have been silver or better perhaps.

But then again players can manipulate the system to stay where they are too, so they can continue to play against lower teams just for the fun of it.

there is no perfect system but I do agree there are changes that are needed to improve it. The first and foremost is not to call it competitive if they are going to allow attachments anything like the tf, the mms, dualband or portable camp spots known as the assault shield in it and then remove things like rpg or claymore or launcher and call it balanced or fair by doing so.

Re: How will X1 use smartglass with Ghosts?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:05:17 GMT

Just because you spend 500 on a console does not mean you can afford a SG device or want one. Not everyone uses or needs smartphones so would be stupid for them to have to get one just for a game. Not everyone uses tablets so would be stupid for them to get one just for a game so they would not be disadvantaged over those that did.

Just like how players think they should be entitled to an advantage just because they bought a headset when that is not true either.

Force players to have to buy certain things to enjoy the game and the game will get a bad name for it and that can carry and cause dissent from people that were on the fence of buying or not.

Re: I was Killed by the Invisible Man (seriously)

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:55:14 GMT

Sounds like you were seriously desynced from the host. You were loosing packets or something for some reason so you were not getting the update that he was there. But strangely enough your freinds could see him.. So really I am not sure why that would happen.

Though I have similar incidents, while playing HP and holding the point only to die to a person that was right behind me yet was not there when I first walked in to the area and there was no way for them to come around behind me where I was at.

Re: Does anyone else feel that the Game desides how we should play?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:47:30 GMT

No because it plays right in to the MLG theme of map control and map setups where the objective is to hold the map in one place and not run around all the time. So any advantage like a spot taht you can fire from but not get hit works perfectly for them...

Re: Why is the UAV always on in Party Games?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:45:19 GMT

I completely agree with you on this. Party games are not meant to be played serious. They are meant for fun and having to search for some fool hiding in a corner waiting for you to stumble by is not fun. The only ones that do not like it are the campers who cannot camp and hide anymore.

If I had a capture card I would have helped in this. But I do not so all I can do is realy give my view on any vidoes shown to me after the point.

Is your game installed? if so delete and reinstall. Or maybe you need to clear your xbox cache. Or perhaps you got in to a modded lobby somehow and they infected your sights. normally you can clear that up by just turning the xbox off and back on and then clearing the cache. Or it could be your xbox wearing out and the gpu starting to fail causing bad rendering.

It was not meant to be intersting. I am not trying to win any prizes for how I write ya know. So I really dont care if you think it was boring or not. Nor was it drivel just because you do not like it.

Re: The Probation Glitch

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:53:17 GMT

True, you can get it for any way of leaving if done enough time. Tk kick, dashboard, failed host migration, even leaving the normal way enough times will get it.

Re: The Probation Glitch

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:51:44 GMT

You think that is bad. I had not played the game for about two weeks. Was playing WoT on teh pc. I come to play the game and I am on probation in league for 5 minutes, even though I had not even played in the last two weeks at all. So yes it is borked and needs to be fixed or removed; but neither is going to happen in this game on this console.

Re: League Play CTF cap limit

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 21:49:03 GMT

I know for it not to have a cap limit like normal ctf makes it sort of just tdm but with a flag to carry around. It should be 3 caps a round, two rounds. it should also make teh flag holder drop the flag if they do not cap in a certain amount of time, no camping with the flag for kills like is so common.

Truth; But those who care about stats so much will never do this. Because their precious k/d will suffer too much.

Re: Why is the UAV always on in Party Games?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:09:26 GMT

To prevent corner campers like what happened in previous games with this sort of play list. Where people just waited in corners for someone to come by kill them then move and wait for the next.

Re: do it yourself maps and camos ?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:06:49 GMT

This is not Halo, the game does not have or need the Halo forge map creator. If players made teh maps then no one would buy the devs maps. And not all player made maps are cool or worth even looking at. Seen lots of maps in Halo that were terrible and waste of time that it took to download them.

Re: League play 3v4s

In video games you cannot regulate to the level that many people are crying for. You never could. If game developers go any stricter than what they do, less people will play, more will hate it, it will get even more negative feedback. It will become the next hated thing about CoD, just as many normal/average players do dislike MLG and how they think they are better by removing things. Something the developers cannot risk just to make a few people happy about those that leave matches. Something I guess you do not seem to understand.

Etiquette has no real place in a video game, this is not life and death, it is not the real world. It is a game meant for fun and not everyone will have the same definition of fun ever, nor will they. So everyone will play by what they call fun, not what some group says is fun no matter what. Something I guess you do not understand either.

It does not matter how it was marketed at all. Players will play how they choose to play regarldess if other players like it or not. As long as they are not modding/hacking/glitching they are not really breaking any rules. The players will awlays have the power to leave teh match, game developers will never be able to stop it or slow it down no matter what any sort of punishment they ever try and use. This is fact of reality, soemthing that so many that take stats too serious never seem to understand and never will because they are obsessed over those stats and take the game too serious.

League is not really competitive, it is a public game, and pub games are never really competitive no matter how they are labeled, there is no referee to make sure teams play fair or follow any rules. Players can play how ever they want. It does not matter how it was marketed or listed or what other players want ever. So no you do not have to sacrifice anything in how you play when in that list ever and never will. Until the developers every try and use harsher punishments which they will not, it will not ever change, even then it still will not change because many people do not fear the punsihments taht can or would be given out. Plus the developers do not want to anger those players too much in fear of possible future sales. For it is sales that drive this company not keeping little groups happy. So they will not ever go far enough such as perm ban any that do not play by the rules. For those players would not buy future products. Piss enough off doing that and sales will drop becuase of bad word of mouth which has more wait then any good word of mouth. A very simple and proven sales result.

Sorry but no I will not just go to public lobbies just to make players like you happy. I will not play the modes I do not like. Or I will stay and just kill myself the moment the game starts so I am of no help anyways. If you do not like it there is a feature called avoid. learn to use it. It would not bother me at all if someone avoids me. I do not care about my xbl reputation and never have and never will. I am not here to be polite or nice or popular or awed over ever. I play for fun and fun only. If it is not fun I will leave, no matter what.

The devs will not ever toss those players in to deep fryer and be done with it, for those players can effect future sales and how the game mode is seen by other players which then affects sales further. So progress for teh sake of progress is not always the best solution or approach ever and this includes video game design.

Here is a big hint: IT is a video game. IT is not life and death. It is not real life. It is meant for fun and not everyone has the same definition of fun and never will. The rules of real life have very little to no meaning in video games.

Re: How will X1 use smartglass with Ghosts?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:57:50 GMT

In some fashion yes, probably in SP but doubt in MP at least too much. Otherwise it could be a deciding vote for many to not buy the game because of it if they do not own such devices. I have an iphone so no worries for me. But not everyone that plays games do have smart phones or tablets. Progress for the sake of progress is not always a wise course of action.
