HC KC with no respawn delay.

Only mode I played in MW3, thanks.

Re: Elite & in game stats out of sync

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 01:29:17 GMT

What I don't understand is why Elite is ahead of my XBox stats. If the game wasn't updating the 3Arch's servers frequently then you'd expect Elite to be a few games behind - no problem. But, the fact that Elite seems to be in front of my console's stats leads me to think some data may have been lost on my box. I hope this doesn't mean I've got a nasty de-rank incoming soon to sync up the two ends.

Elite & in game stats out of sync

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 00:59:16 GMT

Anyone else got this? According to my in game stats within a lobby I've got something like 1700 or so kills and a K/D of 1.08. If I go into Elite I've 1900+ kills and a K/D of 1.09? What's going on and which values are accurate? Also, the Elite has got me almost hitting level 49 where as in game I've still got a fair amount to go.

All a bit of a mess at the moment.

Re: Thoughts/Idea on the "Lag Comp"

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 01:03:55 GMT

Hey, so i thought I'd give it a try and rolled back all the tweaks I'd done on the router settings since mw3 etc... result - best 3 games I've had for the last few days. Placebo? Coincidence? Psychological? Real? I don't know but whatever it is i'll take it!

Cheers!

HC KC helped me with lag in MW3 - BOPS2 needs it!

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 09:20:59 GMT

One thing I learnt from MW3 with its lag problems, is that HC helped to level the field a bit. My guess is that because the bullets are more lethal it doesn't require as many hit markers so if you do manage to get a couple of shots in before the other guy they usually did the job. However, I found HC TDM in MW3 quite slow and a bit boring. That's where (MW3) HC KC came in - the game was fast paced AND the lethality of the weapons helped to offset the problems with lag (at least from my perception). So much so that it was like playing two completely different games.

So, as a reach out to 3Arch - LETS HAVE HC KC !!!!!!!

Re: Better Treyarch...please keep it up..

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 13:12:47 GMT

Sounds encouraging. We'll see over the next few hours as the rest of us get on. Interesting idea about the WiFi by the way, think I'll try that tonight (have mine wired via powerline).

Re: is it possible to change your posting name on here?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 13:01:56 GMT

Keep it. You shall be henceforth known as Mr Hexadecimal man!

BTW it does actually look like hex but it doesn't decode to anything sensible (at least not in ASCII).

Re: Vonderhaar wants videos re the lag...

Steve309, that first video is absolutely spot on. Exactly what i get. Cheers.

Lol - that beats mine. I'm in the UK but often get put in French/Spanish lobbies.

Re: Anyone actually getting highest ScoreStreaks?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:25:02 GMT

Highest I've got up to now is AGR (900 I think). Haven't been in any game with K9's yet.... I miss those little buggers, would like to see them again to see how they've settled in to their new home.

It's just unplayable eye candy at the moment [another lag rant]

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 01:55:15 GMT

I want to like this game, I really do. I love the look of the game, maps, score streaks, sound track -all of it. However, it's all being let down massively by the car crash that is this lag issue. For me this game has massive potential and could become an all time classic but with this bs going on, it's fast becoming a turkey.

I have friends/family dotted around the country (UK) who play this and the common theme of discussion is the bloody networking issue.

I'm giving Treyarch the benefit of the doubt and will assume that with this many punters complaining about it then they must surely realise we can't all be making this stuff up. Hopefully we'll get some tweaks/updates soon. I'm definitely holding off buying a season pass - absolutely no way they have my cash until I see some real improvements.

Re: Lag compensation

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 15:12:28 GMT

I'm just wondering how much 'tweakage' Treyarch have up their sleeves here. Perhaps changing a few config parameters to shape their data etc.. However, I very much doubt there's a silver bullet code-rewrite on the cards so if anyone is expecting that then you'll be disapointed. Treyarch will probably now be in maintenance/next-game mode (all of the coding would have been completed weeks ago).

Still, I haven't given up hope for said tweaks to be rolled out - it's still very early days.

Re: Anyone else finding it tough to string together a scorestreak?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 00:46:46 GMT

Yeah, it's definitley tipped the balance towards being more of a team player than going lone wolf all the time. I'm finding I'm now pairing up more with randoms just to take advantage of the way this game is evolving into more team play.

Anyone else finding it tough to string together a scorestreak?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 00:32:07 GMT

I'm doing pretty good in this game (for me anyway), but I'm finding that chaining together scorestreaks is really tough. I think TreyArch should be praised for refreshing the whole system, but the way this game (maps/tactics) seems to be evolving (at least from few days of play I've now got under my belt), it's not lending itself to high kill/score runs.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a score streak tweak in the coming weeks if the numbers show the higher rewards just aren't being achieved by enough players. It's difficult (as a game designer) to hit the sweet spot with this stuff because testing on a large sample just isn't feasible.

Will be interesting to see how this evolves - perhaps I'll look back in a few weeks after getting a handful of K9's and wonder what all the fuss was about.... as if.

Oh shocks, you've got me all pumped up now for some MP. Sounds great! I now need 2 things to happen - 1) Amazon to deliver, 2) Work day to finish.

Re: How long does it take you to prestige? ( IN hours of playtime)

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 11:24:41 GMT

Average 27 hours per prestige for the last 6. Making up time now for my 7th. Trying to get it below 1day of game time.

Re: Todays update sucks

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:26:54 GMT

Wow - probably a just a coincidence but after this update I had 4 out of the last 10 games when I'm running around and I either

a) Teleport back about 1-2 seconds to where I was or

b) teleport into a brick wall...

I also got a black banner whilst in the lobby saying something like 'Connection to XBox live server interupted...', never seen that particular graphic before (it wasn't the standard 'Connection to server timed out' dialog box, instead it was solid black bar running all the way across the screen - looked low level, i.e. not an MW3 graphic).

I'm wondering if there are some XBL issues at the moment which is causing the glitches.

Re: Petition for Elite Hardcore Death Match Playlist

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:20:49 GMT

Yes, I would like more HC variants for the Elite playlists. However, I think the problem is there aren't enough players to reach a critical mass yet. I'm seeing about 3K on Elite TDM so if they were to introduce more slots you'd have a very diluted pool of players. Too few to get enough decent games.

^ This. Although it's only one aspect of the DLC/Elite package it still is an extra 'paid for content' that has now been revoked.

Re: infection is shit

Lol. I had the same experience. Didn't have a clue what was going on. Got mauled a few times so backed out, not really my kind of game. I think somebody has done a thread explaining how to play it (have a look on this forum).
