PS3 - 20ish of February.

Re: please don't buy DLCs

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 05:39:33 GMT

I believe the problem with the DLC on MW3 was completely different... Had nothing to do with game issues, but the whole XBOX ELITE, PS3 ELITE, XBOX, PS3 release windows... Completely Fked AND the Stupid way they organized the DLC playlists.

But I agree, BO has issues... I don't experience the LAG and Freezing as you do.. But I am very unhappy that I don't ever seem to get my games saved on theater...

Re: why don't some of my games show up in theater? (Black ops 2 PS3)

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 05:32:28 GMT

Yeah.. They're more interested on getting the first DLC ready than fixing the game... So don't expect much. I've given up a long time ago.

Hardcore teamkilling.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 20:17:29 GMT

Please bring back ricochet! Im sick of being killed by idiots every single match! It it's an accident, I understand.. But what they do is they see you're on a good streak and kill you. It's ridiculous!

Either bring ricochet back or do not reset the scorestreak when killed by a teammate.

They don't give a ****... It's been like this year after year.

Re: New clan challenges, weekly broken again?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 15:56:52 GMT

Fair enough it's a beta but what is hard to grasp is that they made the previous 2 weekly challenges work w/o hassle. I said this somewhere before and I'll say it again. It's probably one code line they have to rewrite in order to track a different stat so where's the difficulty? Beachhead bit more than it could chew with ELITE and it keeps proving themselves useless time after time after time.

The prizes that went to boosters until they've realised it and canned it. The lack of Ops variety both in objective and time. The lack of challenges until now. The number of issues with clan invites and clan level rewards... The list is endless.

Expect it to be broken as "On Point" was... Same error messages displayed throughout the Challenge tab.

Re: When will Beachhead fix ELITE?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 15:41:59 GMT

Well where Im at is: 4am/8am/4am... Thats Sat/Sun/Mon. For the past few weeks it was 7am/8am which was bearable... But now we're back to 4am ops where you can't find playable lobbies. How is a clan supposed to level up like this?!

Re: When will Beachhead fix ELITE?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 02:48:53 GMT

But even by selling the maps they've screwed us over... Im a PS3 player and it takes 3 months for maps to get thrown into normal playlists. The you jump into ELITE maps and finding a lobby isn't easy as people don't like playing moshpit. I personally paid for ELITE for the ability to level up the clan and stuff, the maps were a bonus.Wouldn't be missing a thing if I didn't have it... Would get the maps on normal release windown, when they make it to the playlists and actually get to play them.

When will Beachhead fix ELITE?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:14:25 GMT

Im sure we're all sick and tired of all the ELITE issues.

Sick of cancelled ops, cancelled challenges, clan unlocks issues... So how does this work exactly? Convice millions of players to pay for a broken service and then abandon it?

But what pisses me off the most is how the clan ops times only suit North America. Players on every other country have to put up with ridiculous times such as 4am. Clan Ops should be regional. Im guessing school holidays are over in USA so now they push back the ops time 3h again.

Never paying for ELITE again.

Re: what is On Point Total Score?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 05:52:09 GMT

The thing is... It's broken.

It should be total score earned in a week, instead what's being registered are accolades. The question is, what accolade? All I know is it shows 6 accolades for my clan.

Also the following messages are displayed everywhere on the challenge page, and it's been like that since it's been put up a week ago.

Re: Terminal needs to be terminated

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 05:25:42 GMT

Yes it's been annoying! They didn't do that with any other map so why do it with Terminal? This needs to be fixed, as well as many other things in the game.. But oh well, not long til BO2 so there's no hope. MW3 has been abandoned already.

Clan Challenge Total Kills

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 01:56:23 GMT

Why awarding the biggest part of XP for tier 1? Honestly, what's the incentive to push for 10kills if the last 4k only give you an extra 50 XP? That seems a bit stupid.

Re: Stupid Clan ops variety.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 05:47:04 GMT

Also, the easiest way to prevent boosting is: Time 6 people runnning and capping on every map, just going from flag to flag. That would be the max amount of Caps a team can get/map. Do the whole match played/3h average.. Do an average cap number/map.. Then do an average cap/player.

Once you get to that X number you can clearly know any teams going higher than that number bossted.

Re: Stupid Clan ops variety.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 05:39:48 GMT

Let them boost.. It's not like they even care. Do you remember how long it took for XP/Badges to be awarded in the beginning? How about now? Clearly they're not "verifying results" aka checking for boosting anymore so why bother...

And if your clan is so bad you need to boost to get a Gold placement... I just feel sorry for you guys. But go on and keep doing it, enjoy your false sense of accomplishment... Noobs need it.

Re: Thanks Activision, Beachhead, Whoever...

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 05:30:49 GMT

Yes mate, I always agreed when clans said "don't shoot us, we don't shoot you"... Then I was the first to get 6 kills C4 at the flag

Sure there was boosting, but the whole Clan Ops structure is poor to begin with. But at least I actually had a reason to party up and had fun with my clan doind so by having a ful party rushing from flag to flag w/o stopping once.

Re: Stupid Clan ops variety.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:05:46 GMT

Well, they've made it worse and now it's only KC/TDM.. Alternating between C/HC.

Clan Ops is a awfully planned thing. If planned to be honest... What you want for a CLAN OPS is to have your clanmates with you, playing strategicaly, dominating the oposition.

Now how does playing KC/TDM applies to that? It doesn't. Get 6 of your clan members, jump into 6 different lobbies and solo your way through. I assure you the final results are better than if you party up. Simple maths:

75 Kills on TDM between 6 players OR 20-25 kills each player on separate lobbies? Ok, you'll say not every player would get 20-25 kills? In my clan they would... But say 15 then, still more.

Clan Challenges should be based solely on how you dominate your opponent. Score difference should be the goal here...

As for the previous post... With the exception of FFA, any game mode could be in OPS if they wanted to... Think about it. SnD you can count wins, score difference, bombs planted, bombs defused... Same with Demolition and Sabotage. Team Defender you could tally Time holding the flag, same for Dom, instead of just captures. KC you could add Kill Denied.... There are so many options.. The problem is, the already made a fortune, they don't care anymore... Activision abandoned MW3, Beachhead abandoned ELITE (not that they ever really had control of it to be honest... As they lack expertise to conduct a project of this magnitude)...

ELITE 2.0?? Not getting my $...

Thanks Activision, Beachhead, Whoever...

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:51:37 GMT

So now you made Clan Ops even worse by only having core/hardcore TDM/KC.

Way to go... It's what we all wanted, for ELITE to move backwards. You should be ADDING game modes, NOT getting rid of them.

It was bad enough that DOM Defense only made one appearance and never again... It was bad enough that every week it was always KC/TDM - DOM - HC KC/TDM...

DOM Ops was the ONLY, and I'll say it again, the ONLY, that actually paid off to work as a team, party up and be organised, tactical.

Here's an idea, just award Clan XP for playing Lone Wolf Ops, as KC and TDM are exactly that.

Definately not renewing my membership.

Re: Todays Issue: The Case against the Camper...

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:38:35 GMT

9 out of 10 campers finish the match with a negative KD... I despise them for having no skills.. But mostly for having no balls to go out and try to achieve something. Specially when they're on my team. What's worse, one one believe camping would be at it's high when the game was fresh and no one really knew maps, spawns etc... but now, a few months close to the release of BO2 it seems the camping on MW3 is getting even more intense. It's pathetic.
