Re: Changing Iphone5 NAT for online gaming

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 04:34:58 GMT

I doubt you would be able to modify any NAT settings because it would most likely require you to modify system files, which could only be done via jailbreaking.

I don't have an iPhone, but have played with my Android phone online.... it was a strict NET but had no issues.. But I also usually play alone... YMMV...

If you don't care about completing challenges for calling cards, or unlocking camos, etc, then yeah its not bad. I think you only get half xp too... But hey, if it works for you, then great.

C). People who come to the forums care enough to start/participate in discussions regarding their favourite game.

The problem is these discussions fall on deaf ears because we are the minority...

After reading the post, Im not even sure if your supporting the game or not.

In it's current state, I do not. Mainly because of the issues pertaining to networking. There's enough evidence to say something is wrong, but as another poster said, it's hard to tell.

My post was intended as a wake up call. For example, I remember in Black Ops 1, lag comp was discussed quite often. The developer's response? "It's all in your head".

I believe Treyarch chooses what to listen to and what not to. While that is entirely their perrogative, I can't understand how so many of us have the problem. If you are accused of something, then the accuser has to show evidence. There's mountains of it; people have posted, usually quoting their upload/download speeds and ping, and there are as many different setups as there are posts, yet it goes unanswered.

All of the so called "fixes" the community has offered have either had very limited success or none at all. I don't claim to know what the problem is or how to fix it, but I certainly experience it. And yes, I have foolishly believed that changing a setting on my router, pc, what have you, will somehow solve everything. The fact that Treyarch stands by and does nothing speaks volumes, and has for quite some time.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not singling out this one game, all games have issues. There are at least couple of reasons why I believe people feel strongly about it. First off, for me personally, I actually enjoy the concept of multiplayer, and when it works the way it's supposed to, it's great! Second, is that COD is the #1 franchise on Xbox 360, so yes, it will be in the spotlight more, and will be scrutinized more naturally.

As I said in the OP, I am guilty of wanting to keep playing hoping (hence, the delusional part) it will not necessarily get better, but at least a more level playing field, but that's another subject. The question in the OP is more of a "why bother" scenario more than anything.

I am not saying you are wrong, 90% of us feel like that but you don't need to make 10 accounts, you or anyone else here

While I can understand how you might think that way, I hate to inform you, I'm not that guy...

EDITORIAL:

This post only expresses my feelings and points of view, I don't believe there's a right or wrong here.

I've been around this forum for a while now. I was also on MW3, Black Ops 1, and MW2 forums. Mostly a lurker but made a few posts here and there. My question to you is this. What makes you keep playing? Post after post I see things that are wrong with the game, this scrorestreak/gun/equipment is op, or lag, or host issues or just plain BS. I would say at least 90% of posts on this forum are centered around this content.

Same thing in previous games forums. I am guilty as well. I keep playing under what seems to be a delusion that the game will get better. That I won't drive myself crazy because of all the above mentioned issues.

Unfortunately, we are the minority in the COD world. I would guess for every one person who posts on these forums, there's at least 10-25 that do not, and thats the way that Treyarch/Activision sees it. I honestly don't think anyone there loses any sleep at night wondering about who is having issues and checking this forum. I'm sure some intern or temp employee gets tasked to probably glance at the forum every once in a while and come to the conclusion that there's nothing wrong, we're all low lifes who have nothing better to do than to sit behind a keyboard and ***** about a game that we all want to love, but honestly can't.

The fact that we are so very adament and determined to make Treyarch/Activision see the error of their ways, while noteworthy, is also pointless. All of the posts, youtube videos, commentaries, etc I beleive still only speak to the minority. When was the last time you saw a major gaming website do an article about the issues with this game (or any other COD for that matter?). The majority will have either moved on, or for whatever reason honestly enjoy the game.

Take MW2 for example. Tons of us whined bitched and moaned mostly about noob tubes, hackers, and boosters. Load up the game today and what do you see? Pretty much the same damn thing! In the case of boosting, I believe they actually ENCOURAGED it by taking out 1 on 1 3rd person tactical matches, and making it so boosting went on in just about every other game mode. Yet we still played it. I have traded and bought back every COD game because I'm addicted. It's sad, and I feel ashamed. But I know I'm not alone.

Anyway, I might still play, but I honestly think the solution is to stop. It might get someone's attention if they notice no one is playing their game online. Although, after 4 COD's, my hope runs thin....

I got a swarm once...

Re: Anyone else think the higher score streak rewards are over rated?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:41:51 GMT

Hunter killer drones can be destroyed by emp grenades, I don't see why swarms would be different. I somehow managed to stop a hellstorm missle with an emp grenade once too... that was weird.

I would say anything above the escort drone is meh.... but you're right it does depend on the map but with how high these score streaks are, I don't see them often? Unless it's in a care pacakge (got the swarm that way), I can't help but suspect boosting. I'm not saying it can't be done legit but the high point requirement makes me suspicious sometimes.

Anyone else think the higher score streak rewards are over rated?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:24:05 GMT

Just my opinion, but it seems that things like the swarm, dogs, lodestar, warthog are mediocre. The VTOL ship is pretty good, but the others I'm not so sure. I've also gotten the lodestar, and emp... and have seen dogs in action a few times. I got a swarm the other night and wasn't impressed, just seemed meh...

For how high they made the score requirement on some of these would have thought it might have been.. more powerful? Especially for swarm when the hunter killer drones are easily countered by emp grenades?

Um, that's kind of what you did and why this thread will probably get deleted shortly... but I do agree with you... that dude is a tool.

Re: Experiencing problems problems after update?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:02:48 GMT

Where to start.. LOL I'm not a god like player by any means but, in the beginning, things started working out a lot better for me. Going positive a lot more, able to get some of the higher score streaks (stealth chopper, escort drone, lodestar). Then the patch came...

Since the patch I can count on one hand how many positive match I've had. I also have extreme difficulty getting a score streak period. I'm not much for UAV's, so I changed from what I had to RCXD, Hunter Killer, Lightning strike. I can barely get to RCXD and it doesn't matter if I use hardline or not...

I'm not sure what it is. Either my guns don't work at all, or register anywhere from 3-6 hit markers only to be shot at by one bullet. People running around with superhuman speed, even if they are running lightweight, extreme condidioning and only a knife I still think it's too fast; having experimented with a class like that myself. It's pretty bad for me.

The answer for me to this was, in mw3, to play hc kc. Seemed better to me. Now that the respawn timer is gone, it seems like a spawn killing fest. I don't understand how I could be doing so well, but now so horrible.
