Re: Lag Compensation Explained (Wall of Text)

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 06 May 2013 01:46:28 GMT

I realize I have been asking this same question since the first Black Ops came out but are they ever going to fix the lag compensation in Blops 2? I would also like to know if they are going to fix the horrific hit detection. I am getting tired of having 90 percent of my tomahawks go through peoples chests. I am also sick of dying after 1 bullet to the foot after shooting a full clip into somebodies face and getting killed by invisible people who appear on my screen 2 seconds after I die.

I am talking about a real fix here too. I swear these incompetent asshats were sitting around the table talking about how to fix the lag when somebody came up with an idea to drop the requirements for a 4 bar connection from 40 milliseconds to about 400 milliseconds thinking nobody would notice. I played a game earlier with a bunch of laggy mexicans that all mysteriously had 4 bar connections. Back in mw2 days those guys would have all had a 1 bar connection but now they qualify as having a 4 bar.

Move to Mexico

Get a dialup connection and share it with your whole village

Enjoy god mode

Profit

Re: Ever get the feeling this game is out to get you?

The problem is likely a foreign person with a horrible connection joining the game and breaking the lobby. All is takes is one crappy connection for the connection crippling mode to be activated in order to give the dialup users an advantage.

8 out of my last 10 matches were on hijacked. I literally had to back out of 3 games in a row just to try to get a different map before I lose my mind.

Re: No Vote Allowed...

They need to get rid of voting completely in these damn games. I am tired of playing the same few maps over and over again. There are a couple maps I have literally only played once or twice because the retarded kids keep picking the same 2 or 3 levels. What the hell is the point on including a bunch of maps if you only get to play a couple of them? Just get rid of voting and make it random. If the retarded kids want to play the same map over and over do it in private.

I paid to play on all the maps not just 10 percent of them.

So the real question is..... What the hell did they do to this matchmaking system since MW2 (which ran 1000 times better) that completely broke COD. All of these problems started with Black Ops. It seems as though they tweaked the lag balancing settings to make things run a bit better for the 10 percent of people with horrible pings in remote areas with terrible Internet like Mexico. In the process of trying to make things run a little better for the minority of players they ruined the game for the other 90 percent.

There is absolutely no reason I should ever have to play against somebody with a high ping when I live in the middle of that big bright part of the cod map yet my lobbies are usually half full of Mexican players. At least give us back a working local only option. I shouldn't have my game ruined just to give somebody who shares their Internet with their whole village a better experience.

Am I the only one who thinks this game is going to be awful? The new changes are going to turn this game into a one dimensional run and gun only game for the mindless 12 year olds who can't play without a red dot to chase. I really don't get why they think that because the 12 year olds with ADD come on here and constantly complain about the lack of red dots that that somehow means the other 90 percent of non red dot chasers won't hate the game because of the new changes.

Congratulations Treyarch, you have officially ruined COD to keep the 12 year olds, who aren't even legally old enough to play the game, happy. Have fun with your quick scoping tweens and mindless run and gunners running straight up the map all day long. This game has officially been dumbed down as far as it could be and they may as well just remove the entire screen and replace it with a gigantic mini map.

Can't wait for Respawn to release a proper "COD" so they can put this cheap knockoff out of its misery.

Are they also going to have marathon users appear on the map if they run for more than 5 seconds to prevent run and gunning? The new tweak to ghost is retarded. If they want to curb camping get rid of the CONSTANT uav spam and make the other perks in the same tier actually worth using. The ghost tweak is completely retarded and is only going to require that somebody taps over every 5 seconds to keep from appearing. It also really screws with objective modes where the whole point of it is to camp to protect the objective.

Once again these brilliant developers bow down the the vocal minority of complaining tweens with ADD who can't play without a red dot to chase just like they did with the tween scopers in spite of the fact that an overwhelming majoity don't want tween scoping in the game. Way to piss off the 90 percent just to make the 10 percent happy. I honestly can't wait for respawn to release their game. They must be loving the wonderful joke of a direction their old franchise has taken. I can't wait to see this shitty franchise go the way of guitar hero in the next few years.

Re: So apparently ghost in the new black ops will work differently

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 04:43:44 GMT

The new tweak to ghost is completely retarded. Why would you magically appear on a UAV when you stop moving? Why is the perk even a problem? It's kind of like having the marathon perk make you stop moving if you run for more than 5 seconds. Not everybody likes to run around like a retard constantly and some people actually do like to use their brains to play the game. The only thing this is going to do is make the campers strafe back and forth in the corner they are hiding in.

The whole attitute and thought process behind this change combined with the fact that COD has been a completely laggy failure since the first Blops came out is the nail in the coffin for this franchise for me and I am sure a whole lot more people.

Did they not learn that the vocal minority who constantly complain about being outplayed by "campers" is not the majority? They did the same thing with tween scoping. A few tweens constantly complain about not being able to quick scope so they put it back into the game and piss off the 90 percent of people who don't want it. Or they cripple the 90 percent of non third world players connections to keep the 10 percent with dialup connections happy.

I predict a HUGE back lash and then they will revert back to the old (proper) way of doing things.

Re: I have a job, kids, wife: I've played 8 days.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 04:26:01 GMT

I work full time and am taking an online course and only have 1 day played. Not because I don't have more time but because this game is a complete chore to play in its completley broken state.

I honestly think if the game was working 100 percent that it would still be a chore to play because it is so poorly designed. This is by far the worst Call of Duty and I don't even really consider it to be a COD game. COD died when 90 percent of the staff left when they got tired of having their game whored out by Activision.

I will not be buying Black Ops 2 at launch and likely will not be buying any more COD games period. That is unless by some miracle Treyarch finally figures out how to make a working game that isn't completely dumbed down for the mindless masses.

Re: Infinity ward could have fixed Call of duty MW3

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 03:14:51 GMT

Get off the glue, Blops was never fixed and is still a broken laggy mess to this day. They completely changed how the lag balancing system works with Blops to sell a few million extra copies to laggy foreign people and completely ruined the game for the other 95 percent of players. The only difference is that MW3 is even worse than Blops with the lag. I honestly thought that Blops was as bad connection wise as a game could possibly be until MW3 came out and took it to a whole new level of fail.

COD is dead and in a weird way I am kind of glad. I wasted A LOT of hours on this video game franchise and have so much more free time since I got sick of the BS in Blops and then had the final nail in the coffin with MW3.

Re: The only thing i ask for BO2 is......

Locale only did almost nothing for me in Black Ops. I was still constantly put into lobbies with laggy Mexicans even when I only used locale only. They should offer a 50ms ping only mode instead of locale only especially for people in the US and Canada. Maybe make the US version of the game so that it can't even connect to anybody outside the US or Canada. That way the vast majority of players can enjoy the game the way it is supposed to be played and the rest of the laggy foreign people can still play the game with each other.

Re: BIG IMPROVEMENTS COMING TO LAG COMP, MATCH MAKING, SOAWN, GUNS

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 22 Jul 2012 21:40:23 GMT

They need to drop the whole idea of match making based on country codes and only use ping since that is the ONLY important factor in regards to match making. I'd rather connect to somebody in my neighboring country with a 10ms ping than somebody in my own country with a 200ms ping.

Try looking at your local elementary school. Lots of quickscopers there.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 21:14:42 GMT

I would also like to know why the heck this game does match making based on region and not 100 percent on ping for obvious reasons. Ping should be the only thing that matters. If I live on the north east border of the US I would rather get stuck in a lobby with Canadians 50 miles away than with a bunch of people from southern California which is 2000 miles away.

Re: Modern Warfare 3 Title Update and Hot Fix Discussion

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 15 Jul 2012 21:04:17 GMT

Did the XBOX ever get the newest update that the PS3 got for improved match making? I think it was 1.17? I do miss playing COD and would like to see if it is at least improving a little bit.

I'm surprised somebody didn't spawn behind you on the island and shoot you in the back.
