Re: Why Black Ops 2 is the worst Call of Duty.

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 11:59:39 GMT

I find 95% of the weapons feel fairly balanced,most balanced cod weaponwise (for me anyway)

I agree its the worst cod for me too but its opininon,most hated mw2 but I find that to be the last consistently fun cod game I played

this is my worst because of

"lag" "sync" "matchmaking" "hit detection" issues

the worst maps of any cod game (imo)

I dont like how it looks/feels seems bland.....

See you on Ghosts

gamertags are drawn from a hat and randomly placed in a lobby with a mediocre host... thats my experience from bo2

Re: Why Should Scorestreaks Count as Team-Killing???

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 14:21:45 GMT

Seems to only be certain streaks I think, called in a warthog that killed more teamates than enemies a while back (well over 3) and didnt get kicked

For me the games get better each year but connections/matchmaking get worse each year which is what makes the games seem worse for me and have made me play a lot less

Mw2 was my fave multiplayer mw1/waw was my fave campaign

only got waw late as went from mw1-2 then back but I loved it, it has a different feel for me than the other cod games they probably dont want to fix waw as they'll make no money off it and they want you to buy the next one instead

Re: Some scorestreaks are just to costly...

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:36:20 GMT

the last thing I would want to see is another mw3 support stealth bomber, still have nightmares about 20 being called in in one game before but each to their own

guardians and sentries can just feed the enemies points with engineer and an emp nade

got to say rcxd or dragonfire tie for worst both are a guaranteed death the way the spawns work in this game I find I get more kills with the non lethal pointstreaks uav cuav and vsat (even if i dont get the vsat at all) strange

Re: Why the fascination with: Hijacked, Slums, Yemen?

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:25:30 GMT

I didnt get the maps as I dont like the originals and the gameplays too inconsistent for me but I'll have days where I play hijacked twice then standoff twice then slums twice then the lobby will close and the cycle repeats, really not a fan of the maps on this game

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 16:29:35 GMT

this,this,a thousand times this when the region lock was on I had the best games since mw2 and earlier then they "fixed" it and it was back to eurovision

Re: Its all a joke...

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 13:40:04 GMT

played 10 games of mw2 recently and everyone of them felt great, tried blops 2 afterwards back to square one, the only thing I've found that works better for blops 2 is to be on the wireless upstairs

Re: Matchmaking options?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 23 Mar 2013 13:13:40 GMT

Same here, add in hungary netherlands and portugal too

settings to best on solo hckc or domination,would love to have an even stricter option above best but I cant see anything changing,mw3 is still a united nations lobby for me

Re: Black Ops 2 is the best CoD right now

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:26:13 GMT

Agree with what you've said,

but if you were in a lobby with people on your f/l which would you go for? I'd say mw2 as I loved the maps and it had a "fun factor" (for me they havent been able to do since) also my first cod to play a lot too so thats a big factor, they fixed so much with this game scorestreaks,perks,certain weapons not being as dominant as they have been, just wish the matchmaking would improve

Re: Booster Justice!

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 14:10:46 GMT

Find I dont see them for weeks then I'll get 3 back to back (downstairs in hijacked is popular)

I shoot them both till I get kicked, report and find another lobby

HCKC is where I see them most, Big killstreaks are rare in this game so its an eye opener when there's dogs after a minute

Can we make "best" stricter in matchmaking?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 15:14:53 GMT

I've been playing since release with my matchmaking settings to "best" and yesterday I decided to try the "normal" setting and found the game puts me in similar, sometimes better sometimes worse lobbies (in terms of geographic location)

I'm located in the uk (wales) and find I'm constantly in lobbies with mostly france,germany,austria,netherlands,spain,italy and lately hungary (sometimes japan for some reason) all while on best setting, yet when I switch to normal it tends to be slighly less spread out, admittedly only a few hours tested but has anyone noticed a significant difference with these settings? I would have hoped "best" would keep me in uk maybe france

I also find when I choose best it throws me into a game within 3seconds I would be more than happy to wait longer if it put me in more local/consistent lobbies

I remember playing mw2 and almost always being in a local lobby until late at night or a low playlist, blops 1 (local only) very similar but mw3/blops 2 seems to be like eurovision with matchmaking

P.s I usually play solo dom or hckc

Also wondering if anyone knows for sure if playing internationally in europe makes much difference to the "lag/latency" or should the game be able to handle the different locations/connections comfortably until they're much further apart? it seems an obvious answer but with no knowledge of networking I wouldnt want to jump to conclusions

Would people be for or against making "Best" a bit stricter? if your in the uk whats your Matchmaking like?

Re: Black ops 2 lag help

I thought it was only me appearing offline regularly to avoid invites as I rarely want to stay on for more than 30 minutes

wonder if we appear on the global stats if we appear offline?

wonder if he is still concentrating on the importing or moving into exporting?

Re: Solo Play

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:15:53 GMT

It can get frustrating solo (wait till you get a guy purposely shooting your bettys to get you kicked for team killing) had a guy teamkill me for grabbing his "ticket" which he left in the open for about 20 seconds with noone around,

back on cod4 I used to leave the mic on in lobbies and have a friendly chat (most of the time) now I'm just grateful for a mute all button

Re: The next generation map design...

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 13:18:43 GMT

I prefer bigger maps my faves being overgrown and afghan,for me mw2 was the high point of maps but overall a good mixture 1 chaotic shipment-esque map and an even spread of small medium and large, none as big as bf maps though as it seemed like a running/driving sim with the odd shoot-out to me (each to their own though)

Re: No head shot hit markers on a stationary target

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:48:12 GMT

Had a similar thing a while back where a guy was stood still and I popped only a single shot into his head after aiming for a while (waiting as it was near kills limit in tdm) fired and it went through his head but no damage so I fired again and got the kill, it was the final killcam and it showed the first shot going through him and everyone was like ???

Re: Error?

Re: To much information only hurts us all?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 15:13:11 GMT

I dont think throttling your connection makes any difference on blops2 positive or negative it may help people avoid host but I find this game works best for me when I host,I seem to get a massive advantage, and wonder why people seem to avoid it but everyone's game seems to play very differently,

I dont think the large discrepancies between speed/bandwidth make much difference as Mw1,WaW,Mw2 all work great,more importantly "consistent" still,up to 5 years on

We dont need to know why it works/doesn't work only that having a better connection could only improve your gameplay rather than everyone using torrents/streaming which has given us the revolving door that hosting seems to be,for me if everyones trying to improve their connection couldnt it only make the game better?

If anyone told many of the cod community that having a cow stand by your router puts you on the good side of "lag comp" there would be queues at farms the following day.
