Re: can being a sore winner a banable offence

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:43:09 GMT

as others have mentioned no unless profanity and or other bannable language is used (racist, homophobic etc)

I think a more important question would be

why be a douche? does this activity make the game fun for you because if so than being banned is the least of your concerns

and when/if you are on the losing side and the activity is reciprocated what is your reaction? do you report for unsportsman like activity ?

free speech on a corporate forum is a myth at best

if you do not realize this then you are the problem not them for planting "under cover dev's" (allegedly)

like all other info on the web take it or leave it and remember just because its on the web doesn't make it true

oh and its a game if you are having a bad lag night take the dogs for a walk, mow the lawn, read a book, rewatch Lost, etc etc etc but let it go there are other things to do.

I had 2 guys work together to steal my CP on nuke town this week end

Call in behind shed on BBQ back yard house, one guy traps me against the shed while other steals CP

I dont really care as it was only UAV but if they put that much effort and team work into killing bad guys instead of stealing my CP they may have done better

I simply left the lobby next game and carried on

Life is too short to let the douche bags ruin a game

two completely different accounts on two completely different systems

Re: Problems with the Assault Shield (useless)

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:54:42 GMT

do you play solo or with a group/clan?

shield really works best with a group and you can contribute to the effort via assists

I have an anti camping class that is shield smaw hard line flak jacket fast hands engineering grenade and 2 concussions

I usually play with a group so I run cover and wade into the camp getting assists all the way with team mate protecting my flanks, then smaw the crap out of them (works great on Yemen in fruit stand).

it really is a support weapon more than anything else

It also helps to use it in the correct areas on all maps (alley in overflow, tunnels in carrier, building in turbine, nowhere in aftermath)

any map can be a good shield map if used correctly

it also helps to know when the connection is not in your favor and put it away.

nothing better than shield bashing a camper unawares of you right behind them !

keep at it and good luck, my KDR did go down while getting my shield gold but well worth the effort and it is the only weapon I still use after golding it, usually I get gold camo and max weapon level and put it away.

Re: The Feint Retreat

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:38:08 GMT

I do the "feint retreat" all the time with my riot shield class ( Hamr secondary !)

run around a corner with shield up and bump into 2 or 3 people (usually on express) stop, crouch then slowly back around the corner deflecting bullets with my shield.

Switch to hamr and mow them down as the rush in expecting easy kill

Re: ONLY 5 CLASSES PER SET!? FALSE ADVERTISING!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 21:57:13 GMT

"time consuming and effort consuming"

therefore not a viable solution..........

that in itself is the problem today with so much more than just this game. Its not what I thought I was going to get and now I'm mad

man oh man its a game, if it is too much time and effort then pack it in dude, pack it in

Re: Looking for a couple of people to play with

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:25:21 GMT

not to hijack your thread but I had one of those last night.

On downhill every time this guy died he LOST it and was screaming " F'ing target finder LMG camper a$$h0le blah blah blah" just shouting into the mic ! A guy I am playing with says to him " take it easy buddy" and starts laughing to which this guy promptly loosens a tirade of profanity and still gets killed again by same target finder guy. So I calmly suggested he avoid that area of the map with said target finder camper lmg blah blah blah and he cusses me out and leaves the game.......

Take a deep breath, grab a beer, and remember, its only a game (I think I may change my clan tag to IOAG)

back on track can't help you I only play TDM and have little to 0 interest in objective based games (unless killing the bad guys is the objective) and have a lousy .97 KDR (which was higher but took a beating getting my gold assault shield)

Re: Why not to use the Targer Finder?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 21:49:18 GMT

how many smg kills do you have?

Not trying to stir the pot just wondering how far that "integrity" goes

SMG's KSG12, C4, EMP grenade, target finder etc etc etc (insert OP topic du'jour here)

just because you don't agree with it does not make your play style better/worse than anyone else

Oh and I have 6 SMG kills from picked up weapons

and maybe 20 with targetfinder. I found the red bouncing site too distracting and didn't like the narrow field of view either so decided not to use it.

In regards to SMG's I am trying to gold the peacekeeper but it doesn't count towards the SMG kills player card so I can maintain my "integrity"

only reason I am even using peacekeeper is I set a personal challenge to gold at least one weapon from each class in this game otherwise I would be working scar right now

Re: DMZ or Port-fowarding?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:26:13 GMT

mixed options on this

I have done both, reason being if you port forward it secures those ports for the device (PS3 etc) on static IP.

If you do not port forward then other applicaiton's on the router (laptop, PC, tablet etc) may grab those ports for other applicaiton's (SKYPE, Netflix etc)

That is why I did both

Not sure if its true but figured for the extra 2 minutes work to do it I would err on the side of caution

Re: Nothing is good about this game.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 22:31:47 GMT

pick 10 is the best thing to happen from this game and I hope they carry it forward.

Revenge spawn is terrible for sure. I played on cargo last night and killed the same dude 4 times in a row before he killed me. Usuallly I am on the recieving end of that type of spawn so I was not too dissapointed but I did feel bad for the guy 3rd and 4th time

I also spawned in on meltdown directly under a hellstorm missle so can I understand the frustration with the spawns

Re: Should we ask to change the name of the game to Lag of duty ?

Sorry dude not for all the nuclear medals in the game !

Re: Should we ask to change the name of the game to Lag of duty ?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 18:23:41 GMT

in MW3 I changed my clan tag to "lag> "

I feel for anyone suffering with this game but so far (knock on wood) this one has been playable for me

Re: pdw ruined

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:03:16 GMT

I would think that as many people are on hear saying "I will never support Activision again" there are 10X that many nagging their mom and dad to purchase the next title in the franchise so they can 360 quickscope off the container for youtube.......

"if you build it they will come"

That is where this franchise has gone (IMO)

This is the first title since the modern warfare franchise came out I do not have on both consoles with all DLC. MW3 just about broke me with the co op game play and if it wasn't for spec ops I would have traded them both in a long time ago. I vowed to not purchase DLC for Bl Ops 2 unless there was a dramatic improvemnt in the on line play which thankfully I have seen, its not perfect but it is WAY more playable for me than MW3 was.

  im more pissd they take the time to fart about with stuff that really dosnt matter when the serious lag issues that everyone is encountering still isnt fixed, dodgy matchmaking,

placebo tweaks to show the fans they are listening

nothing more than that

the real issues would take dramatic overhauls of the code which they simply won't do with another COD out in 8 months

you know you play too much when....

you're watching a basketball game and the score is 74-65 but they are on a come back and you think whew only one more for the win

Re: Debate: Do Campers Really Exist?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 18:30:54 GMT

nope I said I play WITH not AS a camper

I have seen him for extended periods of time ADS on turbine out the slope side door (in excess of 45 seconds)

I usually play with between 2-4 other people (75% of the time) and everyone has a mic. So usually campers are dealt with by the time I respawn back in. So the revenge kill feed is 100% my fault and 90% when playing alone.

We have all seen the highjacked camp like a pro video and I have seen similar strategies used on Yemen to hold the fruit stand spawn the entire game

They are real either because we made them with our rush a defended point mentality, or there are items in the game to promote that play style, or people are OK going 4-1 to protect their precious KDR

Don't matter to me, I'm gonna crack another beer and go find another lobby after the game.

Re: Debate: Do Campers Really Exist?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 17:51:19 GMT

yes campers exist

I play with one on an occasional bases. Diamond LSAT target finder ADS at a door (any door) most of the game

I have seen too many final kill cams that were full length ADS with target finder, no movement until enemy enters field of view only to be mowed down in the last seconds of kill cam.

They are real and they need to be handled with care. I have no issues with this play style it is just not in me to play like that. The last challenge I needed for boot camp completion was 30 kills prone and I didn't get it until the end of my 2nd prestige because I simply don't play that style

I have also become so focused on killing ONE camper that it affects my game play. I become so focused on flushing them out at ANY cost that I know that the care package the enemy is calling is was because of me.

I also LOVE the stupid campers! That little booth overlooking the stealth on carrier is not big enough for anyone when you throw a grenade in there

Re: The shotgun player < Worthy fighter>

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 18:44:12 GMT

you don't run into too many tandem shotgun teams but I hear ya on the props to a good squad!

I switch to a shield class if it is a solo shotgunner but in tandems that don't do squat! especially if they are as good as you mentioned. I love the breadcrumbs of skulls reference as I too have seen that on occasion.

I have tried shotguns in this game but simply cannot use them (yet) however a personal goal in this game for me will be to gold one gun in each class. The Shotty and sniper will be my toughest I think as I am terrible with semi autos

great thread and refreshing indeed to not see an OP or nerf this blah blah blah

Re: CaC Class Names - Boring, technical or creative?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 23:48:35 GMT
