Another day, another clan op that you get an error when trying to enlist.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 19:43:08 GMT

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother anymore. thinking about just deleting the clan and being done with Elite.

when you can't even get the basic functions of elite working, what can you do.

Can we change "An Unexpected Error Occured"

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:30:26 GMT

I get this everytime I try to do something on Elite, can we just change it to the show up when something works right. That is the only unexpected thing on Elite now anyway.

Re: Probation?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:25:32 GMT

I got this also, after being kicked from a game. This is really stupid, if I get probation for a week for their lousy stuff I will be pissed. I paid for my game, and stuff happens where you have no choice but to leave a game. We should not have to put up with this stuff.

Re: Participating Members changing on Ops and Challenges

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 14:59:19 GMT

Yes this one is crazy, I find my name, and its says 5 confirms, at first I thought it was not counting mine, until I clicked on a score with no name, just an emblem and found it was mine.

Re: Ok BeachHead, Give Us Information

My clan, 97 members, roughly half with premium.

We are seriously considering not renewing our premium memberships and just playing the game. It has become that much of a joke, enlisted ops becoming unenlisted. ops not showing up. no way of knowing how you are doing compared to other clans during the op.

We have even been discussing not getting BO2 and switching to maybe MOH Warfighter because of how bad things are.

I have two copies of BO2 on preorder, will need two premium accounts myself, that is alot of money to be pissing down the drain for something that works half the time. and I can tell you if Premium is 50 bucks a year and does not include the DLC, well I will not be paying for it at all. the DLC is the only reason to pay for premium with how bad the service is.

Yeah, this is pretty much a joke anymore, I enlisted in all the ops this morning for the weekend, then checked them about 3 oclock to make sure. And of course now during the op we are not enlisted anymore.

Talk about a joke

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:16:15 GMT

You know what would be awesome, is if someone made a list of the ops and challenges and when they start, and end. and what you have to do. It sucks to have to go to the challenges page and write it all down, then click on the next one. A list would be most helpful.

running Firefox 12. Today is the first day I have had any issues with it.

and when I go to IE and use it, I get a garbled screen. It is readable but something is messed up with it.

Here a link to a screen cap.

notice the career, connect area is a little messed up, and it is really slow to scroll down when you try to look at other things

Re: So glad they rescheduled that Clan Op

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:49:25 GMT

Yep, I sure did, but the op that it was rescheduled as was 9pm-12 am. So I would have to say it should have been.

But I guess this Clan Op was aimed at Europe, cause it would be 11am on the West Coast, and that would be way worse.

and Japan, I don't know, maybe they will have a bunch of people up at 3am in the morning to start an Op.

lets see that leaves Austrailia, yep 4am, there should a ton of people on there.

So glad they rescheduled that Clan Op

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:33:22 GMT

Everyone I know will be playing today at 2pm Eastern time. Oh wait, except those of us that have to work, or maybe go to school.

A Clan op in the middle of the day, yeah that works out so great.

Been waiting almost a week for a new clan op and this is what we get.

Friday and Saturday I can see a clan op during the day, but on weekdays, come on, some one get their head out of their butt and think for a change.

Re: Elite Login Troubles

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 09 May 2012 13:24:47 GMT

I get a blank white screen when I try to go to elite with Firefox.

Not sure what is going on, it works fine on IE.

Re: More than one clan leader

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 07 May 2012 12:02:10 GMT

actually it would be nice if clans are always just signed up, we always play all clan ops no matter what the game type is. Maybe some kind of link you can click to tell it to sign the clan up for all operations, if we ever get anymore.

Lone Wolf is another story as I dont play very many of them.

Re: Why even bother !?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 06 May 2011 14:46:11 GMT

I look at it this way, if you go 25 and 5 in an objective based game and you have zero caps, then you are K/D whoring. If you do the same and have 2-3 caps, then you played the game right. And this really goes if you don't have any caps and we lose, It is your fault we lost plain and simple, you don't have any caps and we lose, I will be blaming YOU.

my K/D is about .5, I play objective based games 75% of the time. I really do not look at my stats cause I am not the only one playing on my account so I really don't care. If I am playing on your team, you can count on me to get 4-5 caps at a minimum.

Although I probably wouldn't buy it for an 8 year old myself, I don't think that it is bad parenting to necessarily let them play the game, but it is bad parenting to not educate your child on the difference between a video game and reality. My parents let me play video games from a VERY young age. I have a brother 6 years my elder, so that may have made a difference, but I have been playing games since I could pick up the controller. Mortal Kombat, and the era of edgy, violent games that followed began to come out when I was 4 years old, and I played them for hours on end, and I am probably the least violent and aggressive person you'd ever meet. The parents who buy their children video games, and play with them, educate them, and help them realize that it is not real are not bad parents.

It's the parents who buy their child a game to preoccupy them so that they have quiet time: THOSE are the bad parents.

Anyone blaming youth violence on violent video games is ignorant.

I will sit with our son while he plays, me and him even take turns playing. it is fun and enjoyable.

Our children are never left in a room alone to do as they please, one or both of us are always around, or one of the older kids.

Does he know it is video game, yes. as for the violence he sees and hears way more on the news that we watch. And I do not keep him from listening to the online talk because I am afraid of the him hearing cuss words, lets face it, he hears that all the time. I do that to stop him from having to hear all the "adults" that want to yell, scream, and cuss out anyone that doesn't play as well as they do and tell players they suck and shouldn't be allowed on the game. Is he good at the game at 5, no not really, he gets anywhere from 5-10 kills a match, and dies anywhere from 5-20 times a match. But when he sees that killstreak reward he knows he did good and got some kills, he even knows it was three in a row.

Oh, and by the way, yes I am bragging about my 5 yr old. You should see him play Lego Star Wars, he knows how to play that game better than I do any day of the week.

Totally irresponsible and admitting to letting him play online, outrageous.

Vodad1 wrote:

Why do I let him play, well because it helps, you may think it don't but it is a reward for doing good. He started playing right around the first of the year. Since then his teacher says he has made major improvements in the way acts at school. He has a minor learning disability, which really affects his ability to sit still and work on the same thing for any period of time. He has really made great progress.

Let me educate you, firstly you can reward a child in much better ways than letting him/her play games like Black ops. Second, typically this is what to expect from a child between 4 and 7, speech becomes more social, less egocentric. The child has an intuitive grasp of logical concepts in some areas. However, there is still a tendency to focus attention on one aspect of an object while ignoring others. Concepts formed are crude and irreversible. Easy to believe in magical increase, decrease, disappearance. Reality not firm. Perceptions dominate judgment.

You have clearly demonstrated you have no idea whatsoever.......

Bad language what you're reffering to makes up a tiny part of what Black Ops really offers.

Vodad1 wrote:

He also only gets to play if his teacher says he had a good day at school when we pick him up. If he got into any trouble at all, or did not complete what was required or asked he does not get to play.

Does the teacher know your son gets to play such a game, I am 100% sure he/she would not condone it.

And as for people that say let them play other games, someone mentioned Kung Fu Panda, and Lego Indiana Jones. What are they doing in those games, beating up other people and things. It really is no different, he loves Lego Star Wars and plays that, but it is the same thing.

Star wars is not the same thing, bits of lego goes flying around when someone gets shot. You don't hear R2D2 coughing and spluttering when Darthader Throws in a Concussion grenade. People far better educated than obviously yourself sit on panels all over the owrld giving a rating to video games and films alike, why, to protect them from a number of issues, hence Stars Wars recommended for 6 upwards and Black Ops 17 or 18 depending on country.

The times he plays are when you can't play outside or anything else, you have absolutely no imagination, there are a ton of things to do in or out, rain or shine, don't use the Xbox to baby sit your 5 year old son, if you care about him and want the best for him I am sure plenty of people would agree with me, don;t let him play BO regardless of what you think.

and yes I am a father and possibly old enough to be yours, I rest my case.............

Well let's see, I have 5 kids, I am raising them all the same way I am this one, my oldest almost 20. Played video games (computer, playstation, or whatever else we had growing up) good student no problems, never got into trouble in school. In college now, joined the National Guard. married living on his own and doing really good. second child 17, in college, pretty much an 'A' student all through high school, she played games on all the above as well. No issues has had a job since the week she turned 16, bought and paid for her own car. again no problems.

my third child 13, smart as hell. to the point that she is so bored in school they don't know what to do with her, she teaches her little brother how to use the computer, game systems and pretty much anything else. which leaves the 5 yr old and the 3 yr old. lets see both of them know how to use the computer, tv, blu-ray player and just about anything else we have that you turn on, even enough to put the tv on the right channels to watch them.

Nothing beats watching your 3 yr old daughter sit down, log on the computer with her password, and then go and play a few games on NickJr without having to ask you how you do something.

As I do not fore-see any issues out of any of my kids, I think I will stick to doing what I am doing now.

Just because you have kids, and might be old enough to be my dad, does not make you any smarter. You are far from winning your case, so I doubt you should rest that quick.

My wife has taken to asking me if I am going to play lately. She knows it is my release from a long boring day at work.

But I have been getting bored with the online play lately so I have been taking to playine Combat training split screen with my 5 yr old. Way more fun.
