Re: The one pace game

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 12:58:58 GMT

Been trying the whole don't race around with the rest of the loons, I'm too old to be running everywhere anyhow. It only really works until respawning kicks in, after that it's just a recipe for getting shot in the back alot. Everyone else rushing coupled with the smaller map sizes means the spawns just get flipped all over the show. If you are moving carefully from cover to cover, checking corners and not rushing along with the rest you are going to find yourself on the far side of the map from the rest of your team with the opposition popping up all round you. At least that's what kept happening to me, until I learnt to give in and tear round along with everyone else.

Re: FAL not registering shots when tapping button.

Hmm.. back in BOPs the fire rate on the FAL was deliberately limited to stop people abusing tubro fire controllers. Unfortunately it was way too easy to trip the limit and get a 2 second lock up just by having a quick trigger finger, lost count of the number of times I died because of it panic firing at close range.

I'd guess they set a similar limiter this time too, although I've not tripped it so far, must be getting old and slow

Re: How to Play the Objective in Kill Confirmed....

Strange I always thought the objective was to grab tags not camp your arse till it's numb chasing a cheap MOAB.

Re: Is anybody still getting insta-killed after the last update ??? and hows hosting going for you ???

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 17:18:04 GMT

I'm truly amazed at how much worse this game gets. After 1.16 pretty much stopped playing but thought I'd see if 1.17 had done anything. Played for an hour just now and I ended up as host every fecking game, none of the hosting issue have improved so just an endless round of total crap. The one big difference seems to be that instead of being in lobbieswith French, German, Spanish and Italian players and the occasional Brit I'm ending up in lobbies full of Americans who consequently get a whole atlantic sized dose of lagvantage on me. So really not sure how IW can claim to have been improving match making.

I'm in and playing and I'm an Elite premium member. hope you get in soon.

Re: Have you ever been MOABed?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 22:39:30 GMT

Only once back within the first few weeks after launch. I had no idea what was going on when it went off, spent the next half hour searching the web to work out what it was.

Re: IW pls Watch&Fix

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 22:28:30 GMT

Fancy that a rock glitch in an IW DLC map, what was the chance of that?

Re: Question for you!

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 22:21:52 GMT

The issues with this game may just have finally broken my COD addiction. I certainly will not be rushing out to buy a copy at launch. If after a month or so the community is full of nothing but praise for BO2 and there are no reports of anything like the crap that goes on with MW3 I might pick up a copy. So I guess I'll not be buying it!

Either way I'll not be renewing my Elite account, I'll live with being mugged once by Activision but I'll be damned if I'll fall for it a second time.

Damn, never thought of it that way -you might just have yourself a very good point there.

Re: The most over used an camper friendly item in call of duty history

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 19 May 2012 13:51:04 GMT

You might not think your whining but you are, although you are at least trying to explain why it so offends you.

Unfortunately your basic issue that you should never have to adapt how you play to account for your opponents is childish BS. You are of course fully intitled to play whatever way you like, just like everyone else is. If you fail to account for how you oppentb plays that no one elses fault but yours.

If you prefer how the game played in previous editions go play them.

Re: Incessant Insta-Deaths Becoming Unbearable

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 13 May 2012 21:20:32 GMT

You sir, by your own admission, don't know what you're talking about.

Insta deaths aren't about quicker/more accurate players it's about lagvantage. Dying as you go through a door way only to see on the kill cam that someone that wasn't there on your screen was actually standing there has nothing to do with skill and everything to do with crappy lag/lagcomp. Nor is it anything to do with peoples setup, I get the same crap whether I plug directly into the modem or wired via a router or by wireless -it's the matchmaking that's broke not us.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 13 May 2012 19:35:23 GMT

Yeah I get the sprinting through treacle thing when I'm unlucky enough to get host

Re: Inconsistent Gameplay

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 13 May 2012 13:24:21 GMT

I've had the same thing a lot, mostly starting well then going crap bu I've had a few the other way to. I'm starting to wonder if they've now deliberately got the lag comp switching strength half way through to try and even it up, it's just like everything else they've done it really badly?

Re: Kidknapped from a lobby into a different match

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 09 May 2012 19:47:12 GMT

At least it's not just me then.

I do love how this game keeps finding new ways to make itself awful.

Kidknapped from a lobby into a different match

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 09 May 2012 19:02:26 GMT

I'll be sitting there in the lobby quietly waiting for the next map and all of a sudden I'm thrown into an entirely different match that's already half way+ through. It's happened several times over the last few days. I wouldn't mind so much but it's never into a better game.

Anyone any ideas, I'm fairly sure I'm not blacking out for 5 minutes at a time.

Re: New PS3 Patch 9/5/12 - What is it for?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 09 May 2012 18:28:22 GMT

Oh the sweet intoxicating joy of hope! Maybe just maybe they'll have fixed something as well as doing the premap drop.

A couple of storming games, everyones guns seem to work the same, could it all be too good to be true...?

Well obviously,

second I'm playing against a 3 bar the killcam has me aiming where they where last Tuesday.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 04 May 2012 22:49:56 GMT

Likewise my KD has been in free fall for the last two weeks having been stable/very slowly increasing since the release. If it doesn't get better soon I'll be parking this permanently and I'll not be in a hurry to pick up BLOPS2 - I'll definitely be checking out what people are saying on the forums to see if it's worth it

Re: they need to do more tests on there guns to make damage and acuracy more realistic

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 20:14:40 GMT

It's a game the guns are tuned for balance in the game not to match realitiy. COD isn't a sim it's a fast paced FPS. If you want a sim BF3 is a better place to look.

Re: Whats changed in last few days?? .....

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 20:09:04 GMT

Lots of extra players becuse of the new maps/ double XP, and for whatever reason the matchmaking or something cannot cope with it. It might be that these extra players tend to have poorer internet connections and so get the advantage of lag comp. Or maybe it's so broken it cannot cope with the extra volume of players.

Don't know what but it was the same with BOPS whenever there was a double XP weekend I suddenly couldn't kill anything.

Re: Game is really broken now...

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 20:02:17 GMT

It's always worse on double XP weekends. I think it's something to do with the matchmaking going to pot. Don't know if it just that the casuals who turn up for the double XP (and new maps this time) have crappier internet and so there is more disparity between internet connections resulting in the lag comp going into over drive or something else. Whatever it is it's meant a weekend of insta deaths for me.

Theres no point having a go at people who nerf their connections, if IW hadn't screwed this game up they wouldn't have to try and solve the issue for themselves. T
