Re: Having Connection issues or spikes in Lag during gameplay?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 23:22:54 GMT

Lag issues and server timeouts, I'm having both problems with the following set up.

ISP: Verizon Fios 25Mb down/ 15Mb up

NAT: Open with the PS3 in the DMZ

Connection: Wired

Region: So. Cal. USA

The games start ok, when I can connect, but about half way through the lag hits and it's really bad if air support is up. When it hits I check my connection and it still shows 4 green bars.

Run solo playing HTDM most of the time. I have good games and bad games, I play to have fun and that's all that matters.

The only way I see Elite staying free is for it to follow what other social media sites do, basically Elite is a social site, which is to have advertising. Of course Activision wants as much money as possible so they may charge us and advertise.

I see the whole online gaming industry moving toward pay to play. With so many users' wanting to play online, the publishers are looking at ways to cash in.

don't you remember how cod works, anything that kills you more is overpowered, there are work arounds but nope, it has to be overpowered :D

So bigb are you getting MW3? Have you talked to some of the old gang, bunny, sam, madfish? If so, are they getting it? I was on their little forum a while back and nobody was talking about it.

Wowâ€¦ what a bunch of ungrateful little complainers. I for one have had great times playing COD and for that Iâ€™m grateful. Iâ€™m sorry they didnâ€™t make the game the way you wanted or read your whining post and think it note worthy but to bad. Play the game or donâ€™t play the game, I personally donâ€™t care what you do. I will buy it and play it until it becomes unplayable, then Iâ€™ll move on to something else. Perks, killstreaks, deathstreaks, or whatever, just adapt and have fun with it. If you donâ€™t think you can do that then donâ€™t buy it. It is that simple. The world will not end if the game sucks so stop stressing over it.

This is just my opinion and not directed at any person. I understand your concerns, I really do but whatâ€™s done is done. Now could we stop complaining about whatâ€™s in the game and talk about how we might play the game. Maybe like what perks you might use, or weapons, or class. You know, have a real discussion.

Camping snipers lol I guess theyâ€™re suppose to run and gun. So why did you let him kill you 35 times?

Important: Killstreak appear to start over once you earn your highest.

So you don't have to die to restart your killstreaks... Not sure how I feel about that.

So my take on MW3, which I will be getting, is that IW is removing the things that were complained about a lot and created an unbalanced play style if abused, but only if IW did not find it fun to do.

I think if they had taken the time to really look at what was in MW2 and evaluate how it would all come together to make a more balanced game, making the tweaks and adjustments that were needed, we would have had MW3 last time. My meaning being that what weâ€™re getting this time is what we should have had last time.

Which means I will enjoy playing MW3 and I donâ€™t care all that much if it does turn out to be a more polished MW2. This is just my opinion of course.

also the bullet penetration has been way over done shooting through solid conrete thats around 12 inches thick is ridiculous, it seems that you can shoot through practically anything in the last 2 cod games

Not so, the Banana Plant leaves were made of Kevlar in MW2.

Re: A question for Xbox owners??

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 21:38:55 GMT

Thank for the input, I appreciate it. If I go with a 360 I would go with the one with the hard drive. The 4gb just has to many restrictions.

A question for Xbox owners??

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 20:15:56 GMT

It looks like I have to buy a new gaming system due to the PS3 YLOD error and the gamers in my family have Xboxes. I had nothing against the Xbox when I picked the PS3; the blue ray player is want swayed me.

So after doing my do diligent research I have a question about the Xbox 360 hardware. I have read the Xbox 360 has a high failure rate, depending on the article, which falls between 25% and 40% and Iâ€™m wondering if that is still the case or was that for older models? The failure rate is my main concern, my son had his 360 4gb for 3 months then the RROD hit.

I would like to get the 360 because of family members, but I canâ€™t afford a new gaming console every couple of years. I had my fat 40 for 4 years before having the YLOD. I just need some reassurance from other owners that the 360 is the way to go.

I meet your criteria but I donâ€™t like rules. Sorry no go for me, but you might try the clan section.

The whiners and complainers need to be nerfed because of overuse.

I would have to agree that a OHK should only be a sniper rifle, but the head should still take less rounds to kill. Now if someone is wearing body armor it should not magically protect the head too. Of course as of now body armor only protects from explosions.

It only takes 2 shots to the head with other weapons with SP and you can't have less than that, it's this way on purpose for balance reasons.

Thanks Boss, I know. It shouldnâ€™t go less than 2 but shouldnâ€™t go more than 2 either and if there is no SP it still should be 2 to the head for a kill. Unless they add some kind of head protection then maybe 3 but then players will complain. Of course however it gets implemented there will be someone complaining because itâ€™s not what they wanted.

Now here is my break down of how we should die. Only in generalizations.

Sniper w/hard scope shot â€“ OSK to head and to center mass chest. Oh I hear the moaning.
SMG and AR at range w/standard rate of fire and recoil 3 body center mass 2 head
SMG and AR at range w/fast rate of fire and little recoil 4 body center mass 2 head
LMG at range w/slow rate of fire and recoil 2 body center mass 2 head
Add 1 if not center mass and add 2 for arms and legs.
Damage decreases as range increases.

Go ahead and blast away but like I said this is just in generalizations.

Dedicated servers are good if you are close to them and your connection is good.

If you happen to not be close to the server or your connection sucks then that's how it will always be for you.

Perhaps this is why your (Collier) past experience has been like that, I don't know.

P2P at least offers people the chance to have the best connection regarding their situation.

It would be nice though to see how Call of Duty 'performed' on dedicated servers.

P2P doesn't offer the best connection, in fact its considered by many in the gaming industry to be the cheap option to client/servers

Cheap = Activision or as Activision calls it, thrifty.

On this forum â€“ no, on the IW forum â€“ yes, but not from the whining complaining post. There use to be some very informative post there. You do see some post here trying to offer help but most are whiners and complainers.
