Re: Just got Black Ops 2.......not great!!

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:55:08 GMT

I went to gamestop the other day to get a gift card and asked the guy if anyone had been coming in for a refund due to the ps3 problems. He actually said "not aware of any ps3 problems." I told him what is going on and his reply was "the only reason anyone has been asking for refunds or trade ins is due to them being dumb"

wow

mk assault rifle - how tmes have changed

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:52:15 GMT

When I first started playing I could not understand why anyone would pick a single shot AR over all the automatics. I am almost done golding guns and had to move on to the MK. What a difference time with the game makes. I found that the issue with fully automatic rifles is that it takes 4-6 shots to kill, but you can miss a few shots, the rifle can rise up while firing, the person can duck behind something, or they can blast you with 1 shot of a shotgun. BUT, time with the game has made me pretty good at quickly getting hits the first 1 or 2 shots.

So I move on to the MK and find that, since it only needs 2 shots to kill, those are the 2 shots I always made contact with when using autos. All of a sudden I am going from 10 to 14 kills and 4 to 7 deaths to 25 and 2!

This gun is an absolute beast for me and last night I was only 2 deaths from a moab, something I never came close to getting before

AWESOME

positive, I only play tdm, I even commented on it at the end of game summary and someone said it was hacked - I bolted

As soon as I realized I got the hockey sticks outta there -

other than a hacked lobby, what was the purpose do you suppose?

Re: Question: Camping or Strategy?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 17:53:53 GMT

to add to this - if I kill someone, chances are they are going to try to intercept me and get even - the spawns will even give the dead person a spawn close by a few times to give them a chance. It is not camping if I kill someone, then move to another spot nearby where I believe they will come back, kill them again, rinse, repeat until they either wise up or the spawn puts them across the map - then I move on with the game

Re: saw someone with riot shield and last stand

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 14:32:36 GMT

the first time I saw it I couldn't compute what I was looking at - so I threw a grenade at him. The second time I got him I just walked up to him, stood over him for 2 or 3 seconds (just so he KNEW he was about to die) then walked around his back and knifed him in the head -

saw someone with riot shield and last stand

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 14:10:14 GMT

you shoot him and he looks like a turtle on the ground with his shield on top of him - loved how helpless he was just laying there!

played v1 face off for first time - awesome

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 13 Jul 2012 16:19:53 GMT

it was like that sniper movie enemy at the gates - it was the map with the ship - instead of an all out killing spree it took time, patience, cover, planning, counter moves - it was great

Re: the decoy care package, is it a good thing or bad!?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:39:49 GMT

i found them becoming less effective, but then I started enhancing the lure to them. I make sure I throw them in areas where I would throw a real package - out of the way, good defensive place while waiting for it to drop, etc. Then, when it lands, I use an unsuppressed weapon and let a whole clip go, lighting me up. Then I run away and leave it alone - I may throw a flash over there after 10 seconds, or even return and use more of a clip - like fly fishing - gotta make it look real!

you have to learn to enjoy the small pleasures in this game

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:58:55 GMT

rounding a corner to find 3 enemies, all with their backs turned to you, peering around a corner.

Slowly raise your weapon and, beginning with the one closest to you, mowing all three down in one clip - they must have been bitter in the killcam

Re: 6 seconds that made the cost of the game worth it

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:51:13 GMT

your way of telling it is better. The funny thing was I was looking for someone to throw it on (yes, I meant C4) for a few matches - I figured it would be a sniper, but then when I threw it on him, he ran past the van, I was excited to blow him up. Then I realized where he was going and man, kid in a candy store!

how I dealt with lag

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:17:53 GMT

I was using wireless - it got so bad with the last 2 patches that I simply could no longer play. Before giving up I ran ethernet up 2 stories from my office to the game room

turned on the system, instant PSN log in, 80% quicker online login in game - owned every single match I played. I have played 10 matches like this, got all 3 killstreaks at least once each game, it was like a brand new game

Obviously going from wireless to wired will make a huge difference, but if you have the ability to do this, DO IT!

BTW - wife not happy about the cord hanging up the entry way, down the upstairs hallway, and into the third floor

6 seconds that made the cost of the game worth it

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:10:10 GMT

(no video - lag avoidance)

Resistance

A dude runs past me in front of the courtyard of the main camping building. I throw semtex on his riot shield and watch him run into the house

I click the switch

He explodes and just happened to have his entire team in the house with him

$59.99 - all settled up!

Re: Do you use low or high killstreaks and why do you use them ? video included

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 24 May 2012 19:12:11 GMT

man, jeff spicoli has nothing on you

hypothetical - you roll into the store to buy the next MW release and you see

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 17 May 2012 16:24:24 GMT

two different options:

1) $59.99 MW4 General Population

2) $89.99 MW4 Moderated Release - all cheaters investigated within 24 hours, action reports generated on investigation. All requests for fixes responded to within 48 hours. All glitches investigated and patched within 1 week.

Which do you buy? (or option 3 - walk away shaking your head)

Re: Re the new patch

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 17 May 2012 16:21:14 GMT

I used to be in 75 lobbies, now I am in 125! The amount of dropped in progress matches has tripled or more - the lag is unbearable and now at least once a session I get "you have been disconnected from the media server" and have to wait about 10 minutes to log back in

my take on a few things - take it or leave it

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 03 May 2012 18:14:14 GMT

1) yes, there are campers. People moan about it every single day. What I don't get is why you care? If you've spent any time with the game you KNOW where they will be - be cautious at those points. I know at certain areas that I may get killed if I don't proceed carefully. If someone gets you from a new camping spot, remember the spot!

2) quickscoping, fmg's, uav spam, etc are in the game - gotta live with it, figure out how to deal with it

3) dead man's hand - I use it, I admit. I rarely get a chance to use it, but when I do, I find it really funny and it makes me feel better for getting owned 6 times in a row -

4) Lag - it exists, it sucks, it is a video game. Considering how far video games have come, MW3 is pretty great. A long way from Contra - which was awesome in its own time. I don't like having to run up the stairs 4 times in a row only to be back at the bottom, but I still love playing

5) Foul language on the mics - I wish people could be more mature, kind of a sign of unintelligence if that is the only way you know how to communicate - I deal with it by turning off the voice volume (but I miss out on the 3 second death audio)

6) Boosters - I guess if that is what makes you feel good about yourself, ok, but it seems kind of pathetic

7) Cheaters - you suck

Go ahead - flame away!

Re: Anyone have this title, TRANSFER.

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:45:50 GMT

i got it a few weeks ago and have been displaying it ever since to spread the love - no one has knifed me in 3 weeks.

If you want to stick a knife in me, look for me in the East Coast evenings (lucifudge) and join my game.

Re: how do you destroy enemy equipment?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 17:29:23 GMT

well my line of thinking was "no way a knife could disable a turret" but I guess my fatal flaw was in thinking MW3 would ever remotely mirror real life. So it takes about a clip to destroy, how many knife swipes? I'm guessing I will find the answer amusing
