Before COD elite was released Treyarch actually had some impressive stat tracking (for free... shhhhh don't tell anyone) about at the same level that Bungie did for Halo 2 and Halo 3.

You could add a "/stats" to get to it awhile ago but they tried to standardize all COD forums under this clusterf*ck Activision garbage and now it is gone.

Byzantine, if you want I can give you a stat read out for you:

999,999,999 MP40 kills, 5% accuracy, 1.1 K/D

But its ok right because you played Domination with a full squad against randoms all the time so your Win ratio is soooooooooooooooooooo impressive.

Re: All USA players that still play W@W regularly...

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 20:12:57 GMT

Well it was worth a shot.

All USA players that still play W@W regularly...

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 20:21:21 GMT

If you still play W@W every now and then, and if you live in the USA (preferably east coast) and if you have good internet...

POST YOUR GAMERTAG.

I'll check this thread every now and then, if we can get a solid number I'll add everyone on my friends list. We can play in World at War's "Veteran" gametype, 0 people play in it.

Veteran is a relic of times when W@W had 100k + players online at a time. It was for high level players, like the anti-bootcamp. None of the modders/noobs would even know to scroll down and select it. We can use it to play Team Deathmatch hacker free as long as we coordinate 8+ people searching for a game at a time.

This is similar to players creating private matches but it keeps the stat tracking (albeit limited nowadays), ranking up, and keeps standard settings, standard host selection, team balancing, ect.

I know these forums don't get much traffic but we just need a couple players I have a group of W@W vets on standbye at all times...

Again I emphasize if you are not USA and have a less than reliable ISP... I would rather not play than play with laggers. Just want a fair game of W@W.

Stop posting your garbage in WaW forums noob.

Also let me insult your "clan" while I have the chance... you made it so easy.

15+ age requirement? Isn't a mature game supposed to be 17+? SMH little kids

KDR does not matter? Aka all of you suck.

Black Ops 2? Again, all of you suck.

Re: WAW/Hackers and finding a resolution......

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:44:57 GMT

Yea I agree... it's sad that Treyarch has no pride in their games. As much as I hated on Bungie for making such a host-based shooter in Halo 3, atleast they supported their games and wouldn't allow something like that to happen.

All we can do as players is not play with hackers. Problem is the majority of players still playing this are scrubs, they are oblivious to cheaters, and too stupid to not feed them kills and keep them entertained.

The xbox "File Complaint" feature is a joke, Treyarch and Activision have made all the money they can off of World at War so they don't care. I'm pissed they are still able to sell it on games on demand and have "online enabled". I mean either just euthanize the game and pull the support or have the decency to make sure people can't cheat in it.

The amount of traffic on W@W is so low that it would only take one person playing in lobbies, with the authority to permaban hackers, to fix the problem. Do it like forums, choose a couple regulars, die hard fans of your game that have a respectable reputation, let them police the **** for you. Doesn't cost a dime. (This is the concept behind the Xbox Live File Complaint feature, but it doesnt work).

As I posted in a thread months ago, I just pull host, get first blood, then end the game and talk **** trying to get the cheater to kill themselves.

Re: Which ratio is more important to you?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 19:21:02 GMT

Halo's matchmaking system emphasizes importance on W/L

-Teams are matched on skill

-You cannot join mid-game

COD's matchmaking system emphasizes importance on K/D

-Teams are not balanced well

-Can join a game in progress with outcome already decided

I also exclusively play Team Deathmatch... the way I see it that is the standard game. Kill or be killed. Some players like to act as if running with a flag is an excuse for using the MP40 and having a low K/D... I mean you can act like Win/Loss matters but nobody cares about it, myself included. I don't invest any amount of "care" into a stat that is not dependant on how I play. W/L is just a measurement of how often matchmaking screws you. Sure I could Get a full squad and dashboard everytime it put me in a game down 1000-0 but why? I would much rather work on K/D.

I wish they would implement a system so that W/L mattered... when my team actually made a point to care about it we got a huge 300-something win streak that only broke due to some dashboard nonsense. Honestly, the reason I dont care about Win Loss is because my squad is undefeated in legitamate games, yet my W/L is probably a 1.something just because the way they count wins and losses is so flawed.

Again, sure you should play "to win" in objective games, but killing more than you are killed is important regardless. Thats why I play TDM, K/D = playing to win.

How to stop Hackers

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 13:55:50 GMT

Attention random bargain bin scrubs, minorities from poor countries, rare veteran players/posters, lost scrubs that should be in the MW3 forums, ect.

World at War, the last Call of Duty that didn't suck, is obviously overrun by hackers. Fear not, though Treyarch has abandoned you, they left me here for a reason. Follow my instructions and together we can stop hacking in World at War.

How to stop hackers: Play with friends. Pull host. Get first blood on a non-hacked enemy. Have the host end the game. Have your friend pull host and repeat the process until they quit.

How to stop hackers if you are poor and have no friends: Quit the game. Tell the other randoms to quit the game. Rally all the players in the lobby to report the hacker, give them step by step instructions. (The feedback system doesn't work but the dumbass hackers probably dont know that).

The important part is, leave the ******* game. I know most of you are scrubs and used to getting your **** rocked in Call of Duty, most of you are probably too oblivious to even tell if a player is hacking. Hackers are the losers that can fly, that can take 4-5 plus hitmarkers without dying. Clear signs of a hacker are them having zero deaths and using the MP40. If you are at the end of the game and they have zero deaths, and you see them using the MP40 in the kill feed, use your brain. No good players use the MP40, so naturally 0 deaths is a cheater.

Or just have basic awareness and notice that a player cant be killed (lag makes this difficult to judge, but thats why the hitmarkers help).

Again, once you find the cheater, tell everyone to leave. If you are in a lobby, and you see the magic ****** gamertag, tell everyone to report and then leave. If you morons keep playing WITH the hackers and feeding them kills, they won't get bored. Even if the hacker is on your team, you need to quit. If they realize that they have to spend 90% of their time finding players, the hackers will move on to Black Ops, or whatever the **** play nowadays.

Leave the game. Let the hacker hear you rally the lobby, let the hacker hear you tell everyone to report him, give detailed instructions of how to report him to the dumbasses in the lobby, and have everyone quit the lobby.

Rich players that can pull host, use your power for justice. You don't need to worry about first blood, thats for the pros. Just end it with a draw. Wait the full 10 seconds of countdown and then end it to be a bigger buzz kill. The hackers will not have the patience. How do you know if you are host? You are the first to connect. Mash select after the map loads and check to see if you are the only one at the start with 4 bars. When you leave the game it ends it. Dont dashboard, just leave, and talk **** to the hacker as the scoreboard comes up. Ask him if that was worth paying for a modded xbox. Demoralize him.

This has been a public service announcement.

Re: Fuck this shit I`m out

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 13:40:51 GMT

Likewise, the group of friends that I game with started with World at War back in 2008 and each Call of Duty has gotten worse and worse.

There is no longer any improvement in the franchise. From COD4 to W@W atleast they took the good and improved on it. (Audio Quality, perk balance tweaks, matchmaking, create squad, lobby leaderboards with a lobby filter, custom slots unlock with prestige, ect)

COD4 was a classic because it started the custom class/perks customization which was epic.

W@W was great because it copied a great game and made it WWII which is epic.

After that, it became all marketing hype. They sacrificed GAMEPLAY and BALANCE just so they could have an ABSURD killstreak to put in a promo vid. Don't get me wrong, I've dropped 135ish tactical nukes in MW2, but it ruins the game, especially objective gametypes. 3/5/7 was perfect. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Yet they broke it and now they have to keep adding in gimmicks and ridiculous things to try and out-hype the other CODs.

Meanwhile the most prevalent issues remain unaddressed. Partly due to the fact that the average COD player is now a ******* 12 year old child. It will only get worse. W@W was the last great COD, the gritty WWII feel, the gore, the semi-autos that reward a fast trigger finger, the matchmaking system allowing you to get a host lobby if you pulled the right strings... thats why it is the least popular Call of Duty... because it wasn't made for 12 year olds.

So now my group of gamer friends is moving to PC shooters as Call of Duty and Halo turn into aim-assist filled spray and pray noob games that promote randomness so bad kids dont get destroyed by better players.

WTF. Video games used to be for nerds to play competitively, now they are made for drunk frat boys and 10 year olds.

Re: Weapon Balancing idea

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:58:35 GMT

99% of what we perceive as "weapon balance flaws" are caused by latency.

LAG RANT TIME

The MP40's 50 base damage was purposely implemented to help "noob console players", compared to the 40 base damage of the PC's MP40. Sure it is ridiculous but the inaccuracy and short range make in useless to anyone decent at the game.

The MP40 and all SMGs receive a benefit through lag because they are "spray and pray" "run and gun" weapons. The high mobility of the SMG (100% mobility for smgs, shotguns, snipers) allows you to move fast. When lag occurs, xboxes are out of sync, player model locations, and the corresponding hitboxes and aim assist windows, all get out of sync. This leads to the number 1 problem with Call of Duty. Laggy bullshit.

So you have scrubs thinking they are pro for "drop shotting" when all that does is benefit from lag. If my xbox tells me an enemy is standing up, I will shoot at their torso. If they go prone and it doesnt register on my xbox, I am still shotting at the torso that I see, and get killed by lag.

SMGs also spray, so they dont rely on accuracy so much as rolling dice. Thus if you are moving and have the potential to benefit from lag, it is negated. So what if you are not where the enemy sees you? The enemy is hip firing an SMG. The bullets are everywhere. Its just a matter of time, a matter of dice rolls. This is why I call all SMG users noobs. You choose to spray and pray, hope for a lucky hit, rather than trust your aim.

Its really a frustrating problem. Lag is bad enough, then you take a noob weapon, over power it, make it rely on lag, and then turn what should be a skill vs skill battle into a dice rolling match. Its the same problem I have with Halo Reach's "Bloom" concept. Random is not good for competition. It is good for noobs though, and they make up the majority of the market.

Re: Treyarch, your negligence continues. What the fuck could you possibly be patching that isn't fixing the mods?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:42:19 GMT

I understand there is no more money to be made from World at War, but honestly it should have a warning to the poor kids that buy it from the marketplace. Here they are selling World at War on Games on Demand still advertising the xbox live and multiplayer...

I also think it is pretty embarrassing... have pride in your product. You have cheaters BLATANTLY on the top 1000 spots of every leaderboard and take no action. The xbox live report function is a joke, and Treyarch won't take the 30 seconds to clean up their last GOOD GAME?

If you won't support your own product then let the community do it. You have forum moderators that don't cost you a dime, let W@W vets remove cheaters. Honestly if you would support your **** it would help you maintain a reputation that, in the long term, would make you more money. I guess you are content being Infinity Ward's *****. I guess you are Sledgehammers ***** now though, lol, and they are a bunch of scrubs.

Bungie is the prime example of a developer that sets the bar. Sure they appeal to the more competitive gamers (or used to) but they will continue to sell HALO titles long after COD has finished it's inevitable decline from COD4/W@W glory days to Black Ops 2 **** stain.

Re: With all these hacker threads....How is the community?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 19:27:12 GMT

Don't compare World at War hacks to "mw3 camping" and "mw2 rockets"... I assumed you mean toobs...

Hacking is by far the most serious problem and it has ruined the last good Call of Duty title.

The problem with the other call of duties is they are overall bad games, poorly balanced, full of lag compensation, aim assist, and made for casual players.

Re: I think Treyarch have finally fixed this game!

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 15:33:13 GMT

World at War is entering Call of Duty Purgatory. It is no longer recent enough to warrant the attention of modders and cheaters, or Treyarch and Activision. The remaining player base will likely consist of the hardcore W@W fans, bargain bin scrubs, or players looking to get a prestige icon for MW3.

For those of you that still play, my crew is sticking with the last great Call of Duty until they pull the Xbox Live support or make a Call of Duty that isn't made for 5 year olds. This is how my squad deals with modders and cheaters, it is quite simple:

We have more money than you. We can afford better internet than you. We will pull host over you. If you wasted $ on a modded Xbox, you are invincible. You are a loser however, playing alone. The randoms on your team are not invincible. We have played this game more than you, we will get first blood everytime with a well thrown frag. The host will leave the game, ending it, giving you a loss. Host will migrate to another one of us, we will re-invite the previous host, and repeat the process. Eventually a DLC map will come up, and since modders haven't bought that, they will be removed. We will continue this process with nonstop verbal abuse, ridiculing the actual stats of said cheater, rallying everyone in each lobby to report them, and eventually the cheater will realize their modded xbox was a poor purchase, and blow their brains out with their daddies handgun.

Xbox Live Justice.

Look for me in Team Deathmatch... you will get an unhacked lobby but honestly you will probably get killed worse than if you were playing against 1 hacker and randoms. Atleast it is legitamate though. Not to be cocky, its just how it works, 6 organized vets with host and co-ordination vs randoms offhost... even in the W@W glory days... my squad with 6 rifles and host? Have yet to run into another clan that can touch that. Only network manipulation, whether unintentional or deliberate, can beat that. I have seen a couple clans all run and gun with MP40s and use latency to bail them out from accurate rifle fire, but even then they will still lose to us. That is why I love World at War. Map control, aim, trigger finger... it matters.

God bless World at War, and God bless America.

Re: Black Ops: Laggy Disgrace to follow up W@W

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 00:16:42 GMT

The terrible maps are designed to stop map control and neutralize any effect skill or coordination would have.

The developers want everyone to go 1 and 1 running around like headless chicken, because if they appeal to trash children and are noob-friendly they sell more because stupid children like the above poster ^^^ make up the majority of their customers (actually since he is 16 his mommy and ignorant parents like that make up the majority of customers).

Maps in COD4 and W@W were easily controllable by good teams and noobies got destroyed. MW2 is just too much verticle gameplay making it a bit too campy. Black Ops is slightly better with maps but the inbalances negated that, resulting in the worst stationary boring campy gameplay yet.

Re: Black Ops: Laggy Disgrace to follow up W@W

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 00:11:47 GMT

"im 16"

I love how you preface your stupidity with that. 16, so you were what? 12 when COD4 came out? jesus christ child.

This is the problem. You claim black ops is the "most balanced" because you have only played Black Ops and MW3 because you area a child who should not play M-rated games.

Balance? LOL. Ever heard of taking out Stopping Power and Juggernaut and seeing how overpowered Ghost becomes?

See you love Black Ops because you are:

1- stupid

2- a kid

3- too young to have played the GOOD CALL OF DUTIES

Stop posting. Go play your noobfest Black Ops and enjoy hip firing your ak74u with ghost on and your 1.1 K/D you stupid brainless prepubescent sheep.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:52:27 GMT

Hit box. Character Model. Aim assist window.

ALL IN RANDOM LOCATIONS due to lag.

Worst COD ever. Every single improvement from W@W abandoned. Every single flaw from MW2 included.

No gore, no create squad, no great sound, no good semi-autos, absurd noob kill streaks, terrible perk balance leads to ghost being OP and making every game a camp or die fest. Lag. Lag. Oh and more lag.

Worst game ever.

If you play it or "like" it, then you are obviously either 10 years old playing your first COD, or TERRIBLE at COD games so you like a game where randomness and lag are a substitute for skill.

RIP COD4 and W@W
