perception by a few. reality is different. No more corner campers in HC than in core. Same % of b!tchs on both sides.

Re: Matchmaking is Terrible.. NOW WITH STATS!

See Ive noticed both sides. If everyone in the lobby is showing 4 bar connections, the host will generally change at least once. Meaning, the host feels like they dont have a fair connection.

When the host is the only 4 bar in the room, and everyone else is 3 barring, its like the host has god mode.

I agree, lag comp still matters, its just not always to the people with the 200 ms ping to the host now.

MW3 at the end of its cycle played better for me than black ops 2 does currently. I dont care what people say about how its still and has always been ping based first, Ive played thousands of hours of call of duty online, I know when something is messed up. This game has something different to it compared to MW3, and this guy made a nice chart showing us it isnt just in our heads like the devs want you to believe.

Also, I did a little independent testing, and "slow" connections with high pings DO NOT give you an advantage in this game. So it does have that going for it over MW3.

Uh, MW3 was having tweeks to its matchmaking for the entirety of the game. So yes, they can still change it.

Re: Remove shotguns from Core playlists and give them their own.

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 20:41:29 GMT

LOL. Dude, adapt to the game. People running around with shotguns? Use an AR and move slower, stick to long lines of sight so they cant turn the corner and blammo you.

Also, shotguns take as much skill as any other gun in the game. You are dominant up close, but you arent going to be up close unless you run the right routes to keep to short lines of sight. Also, if they are so OP, use one yourself and wreck shop until the shotgunners rage quit. Or, are you mad because you have tried to use them and dont get the same percieved results as other people?

Re: No one plays Objective in Domination

Good for you. Most of the Call of duty community cant even get to 70 kills in a game of domination. Ive seen guys go 30-5 or so with zero caps, call in one set of score streaks. They did not help the team at all in my opinion. They would have helped more if they played the objective.

Re: No one plays Objective in Domination

The majority of players do not fit the role of "slayer", even though they try very hard to do it anyway. If you're going to go 20-10 not playing the objective or putting up pointstreaks for the team then you are dead weight. The whole YT mentality is too focused on huge scores, and the most common game mode you see is Dom. So that is where all the wannabe kids go to emulate the YTers.

Blame all the YT pubstars. All these kids see their favorite YTer play Call of Duty running around ignoring the objective. What do you think they are going to do?

As I was told by activision support on twitter: "Fresh start makes it like you have never played the game before." Everything, including your emblem, will be erased.

Re: HC stealth help

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 19:12:40 GMT

I suppose Ill share something Ive found to be super effective in HC: ARs with laser and silencer. My favorites are the Swat 556 and the M8, with primary gunfighter to get select fire as well if you like. The M27 works well with it too. I dont like the Mtar or the type 25 with it, but I havent really used those as much.

Perks I usually run on my stealth class are:

Ghost

Scavenger

Engineer or Tac Mask + Awareness or Dead Silence (perk 3 greed)

Re: So.. Whats the excuse for removing HC FFA?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 06:33:40 GMT

Uh they took it out because it was the least populous HC game mode, and apparently 3arc says HC can only have 4 slots. I never saw more than 1000 people playing it, and its replacement (HC KC) has close to 20k most nights. I wish they would get rid of HC CTF and give us HC HQ or some other non-spawn delayed gametype.

Re: the ONE out of tweleve

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 05:33:22 GMT

I usually find it to be 2-3 players on the other team that have a huge connection advantage over me, and 1 maybe 2 guys that have a connection advantage over most of my team.

Re: Why are Subs more Over Powered that any gun in the Game?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 05:28:47 GMT

Maybe you should use the sniper rifle like a sniper rifle instead of running around with it? IDK just a thought.

From watching Frag cup 4 this past weekend, it was way different from Blops 1 events. I think I saw every SMG but the Chicom used, and the M8 and FAL seemed to be the ARs of choice.
