What do you hope is fixed with Ghosts versus BO2?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:45:58 GMT

I have played every COD Multiplayer since Modern Warfare came out in 2007. I have achieved maximum prestige on every title. I have logged well over 30 days playing for every title. The previous points were not to brag but inform you of the amount of experience I have playing COD. I am not some dude that lives in my parents basement... I am actually a white collar professional who enjoys online gaming because it allows me to stay in touch and have fun with old Army buddies and friends. I would really like to know what you would like to see in Ghosts versus BO2.

I enjoyed the Modern Warfare series more than the W@W and BO series. I was however impressed with how BO2 changed how you can create and customize a classes. I would actually like to see the same point system, but it would also be nice to see Pro Perks again. I hope that Ghosts keeps the challenges running through each prestige versus resetting after each prestige. I hope Ghosts does not use the same match making algorithm that BO2 uses. I hope Ghosts does not cater to one specific type of play style. I don't think Ghosts could possibly have worse spawning than BO2 because I don't see how it could get any worse. I would love to see the developers more engaged and in tune with actual everyday online players. League can disappear. Actually, anything that does not improve or enhance the experience of playing online needs to be removed. What I mean by this is anything that could remotely negatively effect one's connection, game play, or matchmaking needs to be removed.

Please let me know what you think should stay or go. Thank you.

TBH... they are different games, by different devs, on different consoles.

BO2's issues have no bearing on this one.

I agree that they use different devs but as you can see from playing MW2 and BO2 they tend to borrow from each other. The example I will use is with Cold Blooded. First introduced in MW2 and tweaked and used in BO2. I believe that the overall COD franchise management would be inclined to ensure lesson learned are shared between teams.

Brains to play a video game bahahahahaha! what do you do for work? just asking.

So you have to have a brain to sit in the corner/prone in the grass/hide behind cover/or just hide? skirt tatics there, A good rusher will clean that out and if he's playing with other good if not better rushers you can be sure theres going to be a few leaving the game on any map.

Please read the following text slowly...I want you to be able to comprehend what I am saying...what I basically stated was when I am looking at stats in a HC TDM lobby, a High SPM and Low KD means that that player will more than likely help you lose a match versus a player with a Low SPM and a High KD. I am an ex-Infantryman and an ex-Army Aviator. I play the game to win. Some maps are great for heads-up gun fighting whereas others are more conducive to camping. Now, I know I may have used some big words that you might not understand...so if you need any help let me know...

Whats funny is how a "few'" of you come and say how the game should be played like it will give you honor or something hahahaha ... play to win I say

I have no idea how you deduced from my original text as to how I was instructing anyone on how to play...I play the game to WIN! Sometimes running is better sometimes camping is better...That's it...I make no claim as to how good or how bad of a player you are...I can only assume by the bravado in your response that you are really trying to compensate for either playing skill or intellect. Anyway...Have a wonderful day!

Also im not so sure how the military is defending my freedom cause the country where i live right now aint at war and hasent been since WW2 and the country where im from doesent even have the money to get anything that could resemble a military.

Also while your military might be defending YOUR freedom , you should not forget its taking away someone else their freedom in the proces.
Unless you think your military never kills innocent people lol.

There are those that had the honor to serve...like myself...and there are those that reap the benefits of those that sacrificed. Your country hasn't been to war since WW2...Your welcome! As for the taking of someone else's freedom in the process...You are mistaken. The country that I live in and protect is the United States of America...We have done more to spread democracy throughout the world than any other country. We have sent our own men and women into danger to protect those that can't protect themselves. Sometimes innocent people get killed...it's unfortunate, but it does happen...war is not perfect...I appreciate your ignorance though...it must be nice to think that peace and freedoms are secured though hugs and understanding...The truth though, my ignorant friend, is that peace is maintained by ensuring that your stick is bigger than that of the other guys and freedom is earned through sacrifice.

You have to be kidding...SPM...what does that have to do with anything? If I'm playing TDM I'll take the player with a 100 SPM and a 1.5 KD any day over the 290 or above SPM and a .95 KD. When there was HC CTF I hated the larger maps because of the longer, more open areas that you had to traverse to capture the flag. Now that HC CTF is gone I am now playing HC TDM and I actually like camping and sniping on the larger maps and rushing on the smaller ones. It's a nice change up. Oh and your "most campers are like 7-18 by the end of things" I actually see it the opposite way when I'm camping...The runner is 7-18 and I am 19-3.

Back to the thread...I think the reason most people don't like to larger maps is exactly what Ghamorra said "People like small maps because larger maps requires them to use what's between their ears."

How can you possibly conclude that "having the mind set of seeing trolling as an escape due to a person's inability to play good is completely illogical"?

That is a completely logical conclusion being that a majority of your parasitic kind like to create accounts just to troll. You may be an exception...only to the extent that you do not lack the ability to play. But you are still a selfish parasite!!! Yes, you are absolutely a worthless PARASITE to this game!

Your attempt to gauge how well my life has been just confirms my theme throughout this post. You are an insecure person who does not know how to achieve and accept praise as a positive thing. You, unfortunately, are a shallow, deflecting, self-loathing individual who seems to embrace negativity. I feel sad and sorry for you. Continue your pathetic route to happiness via being known as the scum of the game. Enjoy!

My stats reflect days of getting gold camo without regard for my stats...

Your stats are the only data set that is available to the public that can be used to "quasi" gauge your ability to play. I have been completing challenges as well. I have finished all my primary weapons and all but of my 2 secondary weapons. I compared my stats to yours, and yours are well below mine. I conclude that based on my analysis playing with you would be a waste of my time.

You are absolutely 100% correct. Just as you like to deny others of their enjoyment, I am choosing to deny you.

You are a parasite. You feed off of negativity while at the same time producing nothing for the host or other players. You like the other guy add no value...This means that you are worthless. You are worthless to other gamers. It's sad and pathetic. I don't believe maturity has anything to do with it. You hide your insecurities based your inferior playing ability by Trolling. It's sad...I feel bad for you...

Re: Is Trolling Wrong?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 01 May 2013 18:55:49 GMT

Because I reviewed your overall KDR, Win Percentage, and Time Played. Based on that data alone I can easily conclude that you are a below average player. The truth hurts sometimes...and reality sucks...try to get used to it...

Re: Is Trolling Wrong?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 01 May 2013 18:51:11 GMT

No sir I would never choose to play with an individual like yourself. I play to win. Winning is what I enjoy. Playing as team is what I find enjoyable. I've seen your stats and they are not impressive. Sorry, please continue on your pathetic quest of selfishness.

Re: Is Trolling Wrong?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 01 May 2013 18:45:28 GMT

Thank you...I am not sure what makes you think that you are a good player...You are an average or maybe even a below average player at best. You are indifferent to other people because you are a novice player who possess minimal gaming skill. So in order to compensate for that you deflect your inability to perform by Trolling. In other words you are worthless, worthless in the sense of adding value to game play.

What is your PSN Gamertag? I am curious as to how great of a player you really are. A Troll has no value. They add no value to the average players enjoyment of game. They are more of a negative to said enjoyment. A Troll is a selfish individual who desperately needs negative attention. They are almost opposite of the social norm, in that they prefer hostility over praise from other players. It's really sad that these people exist. They are parasites that take rather than contribute.

Re: Critical thinking on lag, (it's our fault it's so bad)

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 01 May 2013 15:27:23 GMT

Great post! I have been playing COD online since Modern Warfare and Black Ops2 is the only title that I have ever experienced such a significant amount of "lag". I don't believe that it's the game data that's causing players to perceive lag, but rather I believe the issue is with how the game itself is trying to "synchronize" everyone's connection. I think that the Dev's for BO2 may have over tweaked their lag compensation algorithm.

The reason I believe this to be true is based on my experience playing previous COD titles and being the Match Host. When I was the Match Host with previous titles there was a bit of perceived lag but nothing like the level of BO2. When I am the host playing BO2 I am almost assured to be almost a 1/2 second behind everyone else. I believe this is because the the lag compensation algorithm is over correcting when trying to sync everyone up.

I believe that the demographic has shifted quite bit since MW. Over the past few years as the price of consoles has dropped from the $600 range to the $250 range you see a lot more kids and teens online, as well as, the 20 something crowd. With this shift you see a lot more immature players. I have noticed, especially with this game, an increase in the Internet tough guy or tough kid persona.

I actually think it's funny to hear a 9 year old try to use curse words in the right context...I would almost diagnose them with tourettes if I didn't know any better. Accepting personal responsibility for your decisions while playing this game has gone out the window. Now, when you get killed its because the other guy cheated, camped, try harded, hard scoped, quick scoped, drop shot, corner camped, noob tubed, or used a target finder and killed you. The reason you died or lost a match had nothing to do with the fact that you had a riot shield on and were running across the map like a headless chicken. LOL!!!
