A few things.

1. Nice thought out post.

2. Its ROF with SF is as slow as mud. You got owned by a fast trigger finger or someone using a mouse/keyboard.

3. Use it since it is so great........

Yaaaa I hear ya I never stop changing stuff. The damage drop on the AN is so minimal I dont notice it though do you?? I hate seeing two guys running accross my screen and while im shooting the back one the guy running in front turns and kills me. I need all the help I can get so the silencer helps me get those kills on more then one guy.

The FMJ is money on the AN on smaller maps even though some people say its a waste. I have one class that has stock, fmj, ext. mags and the other is suppressor, stock, qdraw both using the AN. I use one on smaller maps and one on bigger maps. I love catching snipers in windows and guys behind barrells with the FMJs. I am sure you have messed with them plenty but if not you should try it when your in the mood to be loud (a tool as you say) and not stealthy.

Well your choices tend to work out pretty good for you usually haa...

Dropping the silencer in KC is kind of a balsy choice. For me using a silencer in tdm or KC is more important then any perk or other attachment in the game. On smaller maps I do use FMJ in place of the silencer on my AN. I love treating head glitchers like I can see their whole body.

Re: Score Per Minute

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:31:08 GMT

I completely agree with DBL. That is the best way to sum it up. My spm is around 350 I think and I played a lot of dom early and have moved to KC and tdm. If I remember correctly my buddy Whytie has a SPM just over 300 playing only tdm and IMO he is one of the best players I have ever played with or against.

Based on SPM I would be better but I guarantee youd rather have him on your team haaa....well unless your playing Dom since I am a flag capping/defending machine.

@Alky....My buddy from the firehouse is terrible.....he is around my age and has no physical excuses as to why he does so poorly but he is often at or toward the top of the leaderboard due to the fact that he plays dom and caps flags like crazy. The enemy also better not put anything in the air while Bob is on my team because it is gone immediately. He will suicide if he needs more rockets to take stuff out of the sky and he is one of my favorite people to play with (aside from being a buddy away from the game). I dont have to use Ghost or blind eye when he is playing and I almost never get killed by any scorestreaks. I forgot to mention he runs EMP nades on every class so sentry guns, and guardians dont last long either. You should give that a go man. You will be a huge asset to any team. Its a selfless way of playing that most (me included) do not enjoy.

I noticed you ditched the secondary for fast mags on this one.....I still cant figure out if fast mags help me or make me more wreckless........

Sorry I guess that vid was on your other thread.....

Re: Prestige question

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:07:39 GMT

What sucks buddy is you must have your token to do it. Meaning if you used your last token on CAC slots or the refunds one then you cannot select "fresh start". Its really dumb that they dont allow it without a token once you hit max. Unless it has changed......

I created a new account since I have all gold guns on my main one and didnt have the sack to fresh start it. Now I have an account with 8 friends on it which is much better anyway...........I only have the handfull of guys who I really like on there.

Re: Things I've Learned Starting A New Account

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 15:00:43 GMT

I created a second awhile back mostly to get away from my clan and I was tired of seeing my prest. master emblem mixed in with all of the hackers.. With my second account I also missed those things. I am an AR user though and realized how bad I missed my AN94 until I hit that first prest. and could perm unlock it.

I also use my favorite stuff on my newer account which has actually been less frustrating. On my origional acct. I golded every gun except 1 sniper rifle and it did become more of a mission then actually enjoying the game. Now I use my favorite stuff with my favorite attachments which is definately more enjoyable.

Your also right Ghost and Flak jacket are tough to do without at times. Luckily I just prestiged #3 so I am near that point where I never have to go without my favorite stuff.

Re: Pointless Shooting on game start

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 20 May 2013 16:32:37 GMT

How does firing your gun confirm/check for lag?????? I usually have hit detection problems when it is lagging and shooting at nothing doesnt check for that.

I have wondered this same thing for years haaa...

Re: An interesting realization

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 19:08:47 GMT

I used to run mine to high and rarely got them. I now run stealth heli, emp, lodestar and get them fairly often and usually once I get them going I can cycle at least once.

The problem with this game is the inconsistancy. What I mean by that is I have missed out on tons of the highest end streaks by not having them equiped. I had an 83 kill game with stealth escort drone and warthog and my warthog didnt do squat. The next match, same map and mostly the same players I changed it to vsat, k9, swarm figuring I might actually get them and wouldnt have even had enough kills to get a UAV as I went 26-28. I missed the chance to get my higher ones by a game/connection change.

I think people like myself who are middle of the ground players hate to miss that opportunity to call in those high end streaks that one game in twenty that goes your way.

Re: WTF is up with that stupid boat??

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:44:28 GMT

I am all for high action maps. I love Grind, liked Dome ok (it got way overplayed too) and I dont mind Nuketown once in awhile.

The problem with Hijacked is how narrow it is. I have had some huge games on it playing both dom and KC but even then I felt like I wasnt so much doing good as I was just getting lucky.

Re: WTF is up with that stupid boat??

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:38:13 GMT

LOL....noshit right. Not crazy about either though I can handle them from time to time just not every other match. What I dont understand is the first week the DLC was out and Hijacked still won the vote everytime over the new maps.

WTF is up with that stupid boat??

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:34:21 GMT

How does Hijacked win the vote every single time no matter what map it is up against? I really enjoy all of the new maps and they all have a good flow to them but no matter what map is up against if Hijacked will win. It will even win the second vote against any map. I understand the "action packed" fun of smaller maps but IMO it is just wayyyyy over played.

I know I never have to play it and can back out but to me it is more of me not understanding how people love it so much. At least Ntown, Dome etc. have and had some change of pace routes you could take.

Re: There is no such thing as being good at Black Ops 2....

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:48:44 GMT

I know I have said it quite a few times on here but the factors that have changed since the "earlier" CODs make a huge list with the most important IMO being the popularity of the game.

In earlier titles you most likely had more committed gamers who optimized their connection as best they could. They most likely hardwired their set up and made sure they had an open NAT. Now that the game is more popular you have way more youngsters who play on their WiFi possibly from 2or 3 floors away from their modem while dad is on the computer, sister is streaming on her Kindle, mom is shopping on amazon and the older brother is streaming Youtube videos.

How many people had ipads 4-7 years ago? Not many I assume. How many people had Kindles 4-7 years ago? Not many. How many people had cell phones that connected to the internet 7 years ago? Not many. Our world has changed to the point that most people are sucking their maximum data dry and you throw someone playing the game wireless in the mix and it creates problems for everyone..

The load on any one given persons connection at any given time has exploded due to so many Net capable devices and with the added popularity of the game it has broadened the base of players out to those with less then optimum set ups. A kid who is in his bedroom upstairs playing is rarely if ever going to be hardwired to the modem and it is unlikely his dad or mom let him do the necessary steps to forward ports or DMZ it so that he can optimize what he has. You put 3, 4, 5 people in a lobby and it is hardly going to run smooth.

Then you have:

Theatre

Split screen

Added perks, attachments

Tons of air and ground streaks going on at once.

The list goes on and on as to why things are inconsistant and why so many long time vets wish things were back how they were years ago.

I also agree with the OP. I have 2 personal experiences. I had an 83-11 KC game on Slums and the next game with the same players and on the same map I went 26-30. I had a 77-3 match and the very next match on the same map with nearly the same players I went 24-28. That was enough proof for me that connection is mostly what matters.

Re: The real reason to PTFO in domination.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:33:45 GMT

@ghamorra....I am guilty of running into the enemy spawn when I get bored just ask RLBL. If I get the feeling that the other team is inferior I crash the spawns back and forth. The only time I dont is if the other team is equally as good as the one I am on then it is cap 2 and hold them.

Holding only 2 flags against a team who is inferior gets boring to me........

Re: The real reason to PTFO in domination.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 16:28:50 GMT

Thats the thing though. How well or how helpfull someone is in a game of domination has very little to do with caps/defends. A very good player who is a great KW can really help if say they go passed B and ward off the flies while the rest of the team caps it. Having someone on the enemy side of B really helps since it distracts them from the guys capping.

Guys pushing up the middle toward B also help a bunch even if they arent capping. It forces that guy hiding in the corner to shoot them and another teammate who didnt see him can kill him opening up B. There is so many ways to help but the one thing that helps nothing is KW flankers who have no intentions of helping in any way. Or the guy sniping from the spawn while the enemy has the other 2 flags or B is vacant.

Push up there help get the flag even if that consists of sniping over B then drop back to the spawn if you want to. It takes a team to get the flag and keep the other team off of it.

Re: Stop the OP B.S

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:57:42 GMT

Actually yes....I remember in bops1 on Jungle I could hit the B flag from A with a frag. Had some glorious saves with nades in that game haaaa..

Re: The real reason to PTFO in domination.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:50:46 GMT

@zvers. It does seem like less people PTO in dom now then ever before. It seems like more youngsters are playing dom then all of the other modes too just based on what I hear over the mic. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Elementary school was 25+ years ago for me but I do remember kids (myself included) getting made fun of for not having NIKE's and the millions of other things that kids just do. I can only imagine that in the COD and online gaming age if your statistics are not what the other "kids" have you would be teased or if they are good you would be liked more. I am not defending them since they really shouldnt be playing but more of a reasoning or justification as to why it is possibly worse with the ever growing popularity of COD amongst younger kids. I also think this is the reason for all of the connection problems but that is a whole other discussion.

On another note I think I witnessed the most MOABS in MW3 during domination games so it was just as bad as far as that goes. The backing out seemed less though.

Re: Stop the OP B.S

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:38:10 GMT

The forum is OP for sure. I also think that throwing is OP. Who can throw a grenade that far??

I also think trophy systems cat like ability to land upright are OP. I went outside with my tripod and chucked it 76 times and before the legs broke I was 1/76 with it landing upright. The only time it did was after a couple of bounces and it came to rest against my fence......UPRIGHT......which IMO is till OP as hell. Come to think of it my broken tripod was OP. I nerfed the mother (*&*&^#%^

Re: The real reason to PTFO in domination.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:26:48 GMT

Very true. I have been playing so much KC where the spawns are always a mess but at least the KW are good teammates that I hadnt been spawn trapped in a long time.

You are right to the amount of "back outs" during a game of domination is crazy and the back fill on this game is horrible. I dont know how many times I get put into a game in progress where the team i get put on had 5 players and the other team had 2. By all rights I should have went on the other team. More often I get put on the team getting slaughtered but it does happen where I go on the team that is winning against a very short handed team.

Will do. It will be from my 2nd acct. (gotcho__azz) as I do not log into my rambone acct. anymore due to an entire clan of people whom I do not like haaaa......

I should really just delete them but it seemed like starting a new acct. was easier
