Re: If you can't beat em you might as well join em (LMG talk)

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 16:07:41 GMT

A little. I've always preferred ARs in every COD and in previous titles ARs could actually beat LMGs in medium range gun fights. I never had a problem with outgunning LMGs before but now it's out of control. I don't see how being forced to use LMGs because of gun balancing issues is gonna make me a better player because it won't. I feel dirty and cheap having to use them in order to have fun with this game but if everyone else is using them then why not join the pack? It's the only way to stand a chance especially in those lobbies full of people who use nothing but lmgs/snipers/shotguns.

If you can't beat em you might as well join em (LMG talk)

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:55:22 GMT

So for the last week or so I've been completely frustrated with this game. I've been constantly being outgunned by LMGs all week and with the nasty ass

lag that runs rampantly through this game, shooting first and dying first has become a major part of my COD experience this week. So today I decided to make an LMG class and holy crap what have been missing out on! LMGs pretty much outgun anything and everything (minus Kap 40s and shotguns) and shooting first and dying first has become less of a problem because of the sheer raw power LMGs produce. I was on a 2 bar earlier and I still went 24-5 with an lmg. I was skipping all over the place (horrible horrible host but it never migrated) and still managed to dominate the battlefield. It's disgusting. I've actually been having fun playing today because I'm actually dropping guys when I should be. Make an LMG class with lightweight, quickdraw, stock and dexterity and it's just stupid lol. I hate being that guy but well until Treyarch do something about the LMGs/snipers/shotguns/pistols in this game (which they probably never will) this is the route I have been forced to take.

Re: Why do people hate BO2 so much?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:40:37 GMT

Treyarch sold their souls to MLG. That is why this game is inferior to past CODs. Quickscoping is at an all time high in this game, Shotguns are completely OP (I have never ever used shotguns in previous CODS because I was terrible with them...in this game I can go 35-5 with any shotgun), Pistols are also OP (When you can run around using a pistol as your primary and go 40-5...there is a problem), the target finder is easy mode (why not just bring back Marksman from MW3? Same idea and no one ever complained about it). The lag in this game is atrocious as well.

Re: NukeTown shouldn't be in regular rotation!

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:13:52 GMT

I agree. This map is terrible. It was amazing in Black Ops 1 but I find it is absolutely brutal in this game. I was excited for it to be in the regular rotation finally because I never played it and now that it is I want nothing to do with it. It being on heavy rotation right now isn't making things any better. Hopefully they'll take it off of heavy rotation after 2xp weekend.

The spawns flip way too often in Nuketown 2025

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 23:21:14 GMT

My first game of TDM on Nuketown we spawn in and obviously immediately push to the center. A few of my teammates die and a few of the enemy players die. Next thing I know I'm getting shot in the back and when I respawn I'm on the other side. I take two steps forward and get annihilated by 3 guys who just spawned behind me. I don't recall the spawn system in Black Ops 1 Nuketown to be that insane. I remember in Black Ops 1 the spawns didn't flip until someone crossed the middle of the map. No one ever crossed the middle of the map.

Re: Let's discuss a theoretical form of business practice shall we?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:44:04 GMT

A problem is the age factor. Most of the people who are upset with the game are the COD players of past who have been playing COD since COD4 pretty much. It's sad to say but unless you are MLG, they don't give a flying F bomb about the old school COD players anymore. It's all about the kids. Every year a new COD comes out there are more kids playing. I've started to notice this trend since MW2. The old COD gamers are growing up, not having much time to play anymore and have become casual cod players compared to the way they were in the past. Activision doesn't cater nor give flying F's about the casual cod player. They only care about the kids and that is it. Kids play COD more and longer than older players. They know they can keep pumping out the same game and year after year the lose fans but they gain fans. Things will never change. As soon as Call Of Duty became a babysitter, this franchise went downhill (through the eyes of the old school cod players anyways). The only reason COD is more popular than BF3 is because more kids play COD and that is it. BF3 is where most of the adults have gone.

Re: Anyone else come across hacks within BO2? INVINCIBILITY / VSAT HACK

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:43:33 GMT

What a joke this game has become. Black Ops 2 isn't even 6 months old yet and it's already hacked to ****. Black Ops 1 is 2 and a half years old and there are absolutely no hacks in it. I go back to it once a month and have yet to find a hacked lobby. MW3 is not hacked at all either. It goes to show you that Treyarch only gives a **** about league play and the competitive side to this under achieving steaming pile of dog poo. Seeing this **** makes me not want to play it anymore. It disgusts me. What happened to you Treyarch? You were supposed to be the saviors of COD after IW fell apart. Everyone counted on you guys to make an amazing game after the fail that was MW3 and you just made an even worse game than the previous title. How did you guys go from the near perfect BO1 (I say near because it did have minor lag/hit marker issues but they did fix it and ghost/second chance noobs camping in bushes) to this? The security in BO1 is flawless and still is almost 3 years after release. What happened?

Re: Studio isn't going to be firing range imo

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:57:41 GMT

Why reskin it at all? Why not just release it as is and call it I dunno say Firing Range? And what's wrong with releasing free maps? Heaven forbid a gaming company gives out Thank You's in the form of free maps once in awhile for making them the millionaires they are. Reskinning and old map from a previous game and selling it with the DLC is a scam...especially when they know that is going to be the sole purpose anyone buys Uprising...other then the Mob Of The Dead of course. The other three maps have rage fest written all over them.

Re: Studio isn't going to be firing range imo

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:42:57 GMT

Am I the only one who thinks it's a money scam? Think about it. In Black Ops 1 they remade cliffside from WAW and SOLD it as a new reskinned DLC map called Hazard. In MW3, IW released Terminal as FREE dlc. Now again Treyarch has decided to reskin a fan favourite from BOPS 1 and sell it as DLC. Treyarch knows Firing Range is a fan favourite so why not release it as FREE DLC and reskin another popular map like Summit or Havana. I guess one free DLC map in Nuketown 2025 is good enough meanwhile no one EVER PLAYS IT because it's in it's own playlist.

Re: This is the only COD game where I don't want a 4 bar.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:36:59 GMT

"Girl look at my 4 bar"

"It it it don't count"

The only time a 4 bar is a 4 bar I noticed is when the entire lobby is a 4 bar. If you see a dude with a 3 bar and you have a 4 bar, you probably have a 2 bar lol. I always notice the guys with the 3 bars are the guys at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the match.

Re: I hate to say it but TDM > KC

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:26:57 GMT

My 1.55 kdr has come from playing KC for the last 5 months. KC isn't just something I happened to pop into. Try playing TDM for a week and then play KC. You will notice the connection difference and it is due to the amount of people playing TDM. When I say play for a week too I mean play nothing but TDM for the next 5 days and then play KC. You will notice the difference. When I get my ass handed to me in TDM it's because I got my ass handed to me and not because lag played a huge role in it like it does in KC.

Re: I hate to say it but TDM > KC

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:22:48 GMT

I do hardline but seldomly. I have a shared connection with my wife so if she wants to use the CPU while I play I have to use the router. It doesn't affect my playing that much though. She's not one to stream videos or download anything while I'm playing (she knows it can interfere with my online connectivity) so she just mostly messes with her facebook. Even when I do hardline, I notice a tad difference but not so much. Like I said in TDM I don't have near the lag issues as I do in KC and it's because there are more people who play TDM. That is why I deleted the DLC as well. Not enough people have it just like not enough people play KC.

Re: I hate to say it but TDM > KC

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 02:17:00 GMT

I never ever blame connection when I play a superior player. If I get my ass handed to me, I get my ass handed to me plain and simple. But when I'm getting my ass handed to me by a dude who is inferior to my skill...there is a problem. When I pump half a clip into a guy's chest to have him one shot me with a pistol....there is a problem and happens more often in KC then in TDM. Is there worse players in TDM? There sure is. Is it enjoyable to play in such lobbies? Of course it is and not one person is gonna say they don't enjoy a good stomping. I do enjoy KC a lot more because I do like competition and more competitive players play in KC but again like there is more connection issues so more times than not you get beasted by inferior players who really shouldn't be doing such. LEGENDOFTHUNDER talks about that a lot in his videos. In previous CODs that never happened as much as it does in this game. It's like the game is programmed to level out the playing field for the weaker players. One match you beast and the next match you can't shoot anyone and the guy at the top of the leader board was at the bottom before and vice versa. It happens in TDM too but not as frequently I noticed.

I hate to say it but TDM > KC

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 23:59:53 GMT

For one reason and one reason only: the connections. I've been playing KC religiously since the game came out (as I did in MW3) and about a week ago I decided to play a game of TDM to change it up. My 3rd game of TDM I got a relentless medal. I've never gotten a relentless medal and that is due to me always getting fisted by random lag spikes throughout each match. I probably would've went brutal too if it wasn't for the fact I ran out of ammo. I've been playing TDM now for a week so I can get the TDM Master calling card (I think it is one of the neatest ones in the game) and I finally got it and decided to move back to KC and well my first game of KC I went 12-28 and I was host. The top guy on the other team was 35-8 and had a .98 kdr. I have a 1.55 kdr. I couldn't hit anything. I went back to TDM and was dropping guys like it was nothing. The amount of snipers/shotgunners/campers in TDM is atrocious but

when you find that right lobby, it's a beautiful thing. I wish more people played KC I really do. The 100,000 plus that play TDM is the reason why so many people play it I think. The connections are much better compared to the other playlists because there are more people playing it. Better connections = less frustration.......even with all of the other BS this game has to offer.

Re: Noob Moments

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 12:12:53 GMT

Not sure if this classifies as a noob moment but I've called in UAV's before when there was a CUAV in the air. The worst one was calling in a vsat. My buddy was like "DUDE YOU JUST CALLED IN A VSAT WITH A CUAV IN THE AIR!!!! WTF!!!!" Yea that was pretty nooby of me. I would call it a brain fart more then anything.

Re: nuclear killer

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 23:07:50 GMT

I know its pretty funny. My buddy has a 3.00 kdr and has earned 6 nuclear medals with around 20 unstoppable medals and yet I'll see some kid with a 1.10 kdr that has 60 nuclear medals and 500 unstoppable medals as well. I have a 1.53 kdr and I can't even get a frikkin relentless medal lol. Come on kuh!

Re: This Game is Unplayable

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 23:01:25 GMT

I hear you man. This game is already starting to get stale for me. I bought revolution and I played on the maps once or twice and deleted it because of the amount of lag that came with it. Barely anyone bought the dlc it seems and the people who did live on the opposite side of the country/continent. After seeing the Battlefield 4 gameplay I am absolutely stoked about it. I never gave BF3 a chance and though I still own it, I feel it's too late to go to it now. BF4 on next gen will be amazing. I think this is the year when COD gets destroyed. I really do. If they implement COD like features into the MP (not arcade style stuff but CQC maps that are not DLC) I think it will be the COD killer. The thing is we like to point our fingers at IW and Treyarch but it is not them that is ruining the game...it's activision. If activision wants lag comp in the game, Treyarch has to put it in. That was not IW's idea in MW3 that was Activision hence why it's in BO2. That is why West and Zampella left and signed with EA....full 100% creative control. If Treyarch had 100% creative control this game would not be the way it is.
