Re: Unconfirmed Rumor Prestige level Max raised to 20!

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 02:43:15 GMT

I've only kept playing because I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, but If the Max Prestige goes up to 20... I'll pass.

it must be peoples mic's that was wrong they must suck i use a motorola h800 i never have any problems on any game no problems on mw3 b4 the patch. it's a bluetooth headset it takes a AAA rechargeable battery and lasts 30 hours then you just swap the battery and use it for another 30hours talk time and only cost £14 that's funny that you spent £250 or whatever and you had problems you got ripped off why would you spend that much on a mic just because it has a high price doesn't mean it's the best mic.

Yeah, it MUST have been people's mics that sucked. Hahahaha!

So some people from Infinity Ward got together and just decided to include a mic chat fix as part of the patch because NOTHING was wrong? - Good one bro. That is some solid logic from a keen mind.

Re: Playing DLC Content with other Profiles on your Xbox 360

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:31:56 GMT

I was soooo pissed when the DLC wasn't available to other profiles on my Xbox, that I swore to only buy Black Ops 2 for the PS3 in November.

You'll forgive me if I take a gotta-see-it-to-believe-it attitude. Not getting too happy about this just yet.

Re: Does your TV make a difference?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:16:22 GMT

Yeah, there's a big difference in resolution between Standard Def and High Definition. As far as TV size, it's all about getting the right distance between you and the TV when you play.

If you have a 24" TV and you're nice and close, then you're good. If you have a 60" TV and you're at a distance where your eyes travel the same distance to see the minimap as they do on the 24" to see the minimap there, then it's the same thing and you're good too.

It's all up to personal preference. I like a bigger TV, because I can lay down on the couch and chill while I play.

Re: Patch 1.08 questions...

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 08:19:45 GMT

Really? That sucks man. I've got nothing but good things to say about my PX5s. I had crystal clear chat in Black Ops, and then MW3 came out and there was mad static.

I just checked to see if the patch fixed chat and I'm happy to say it did. Not quite Black Ops clarity, but I can actually hear what people are saying now. I love the double bluetooth, so I can sync it up to my iPhone too and I don't miss any calls.

The only negatives I have about the PX5, is battery life, and when you're trying to chill and let it rest around your neck, it's too tight and chokes you. I'm skinny too, so for all you fat-necks out there, the PX5s could choke you out. Lol.

your game around a fair connection, dont compenstate, or punish,then add the goods.

Lag compensation is meant to do exactly that... Provide a fair connection. Sure it's an EPIC fail, but that's what they've been trying to achieve.

I guess you're saying something more along the lines of, "Ok it's a complete fail, just give up on making it fair and just give people with good connections the best perk in the game...Host Pro."

I'm not completely disagreeing either, but I think as long as Treyarch isn't putting out a Black Ops 1.5, then maybe they can get it right. I think since MW3 isn't exactly a fully revamped MW2, there may be certain code that fights their efforts of getting lag compensation to work right. - I could be waaaaay off on this last paragraph I just wrote, this is more of a guess than anything, since I don't know how the technology for lag compensation really works.

Normally a game designer will try to improve on the last game, so why did this game go backwards? A 6 man team cannot get into a lobby, the spawns are still broken, the lag is unbearable. Now i see why all of the big youtubers and mlg players are going to previous COD games. It really is an epic fail. most if not all of the issues should have been fixed by now. just my opinion guy's but im sure most of the passionate players will agree with this. Black Ops is 10 times the game as of now. B.O. online wager matches, the player and gun customization is far superior to MW3, the list goes on and on. The only thing good about MW3 for me is Team Defender, thats the only thing this game has going for it right now, So sad.

Without a doubt Black Ops is a better game than MW3.

Re: Why can't we turn off music?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 22:29:40 GMT

I have a sweet headset and I really can't believe IW chose to take a step back from the audio choices Black Ops gave us.

What some people are saying is that people with nice headsets are able to sound whore with so much ease, that they have an unfair advantage over those that can't afford a nice headset or don't have one for whatever reason.

Re: I'm SO BAD at this game, what should I do to improve??

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:19:55 GMT

I skimmed some comments and there is great advice. Here's a few things I didn't see.

1. CROSSHAIRS - So important to practice keeping your crosshairs EXACTLY where the enemy would be if he came around the corner. This way you're already on target if he does.

2. HIPFIRE - If the person is close enough, don't waste precious time Aiming Down Sight; just hit the trigger and hipfire. Since you've been practicing keeping your crosshairs right, you're already on target. Use Steady Aim to keep your bullets more on target as you hipfire.

3. ASSUME - As you come around a corner, picture in your mind that there's already an enemy there and ADS; you'll save yourself the reaction time. SERIOUSLY, try it. Go around a corner and see how much faster you shoot when you assume there's a guy there.

4. VIDEOS - I saw people suggest watching YouTube videos, but on top of that another suggestion if you still have Black Ops, it will let you look at the Leaderboards of the best guys from around the world and watch their most recent games. It won't help you as far as MW3 map strategy, but general beast strategy is in abundance there.

Re: Camping and holding an area _ theres a difference

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 07:20:54 GMT

I don't know how people play Hardcore TDM. I tried a few times, and because TTK is so low, everyone is scared to be aggressive and camps like crazy. On top of that there is NO killcam?!! (no killcam is a camper's wet dream)

Hell no! If you play HC TDM, you're either a little b!tch camper or a masochist.

Re: Worst Map in the Game?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 07:13:40 GMT

Your logic goes completely out the window with MW3 maps. MW3 maps, in general, make it EXTREMELY easy to flank, so nothing good can come from longer lines of sight. (unless you're a fan of snipers and campers.)

Re: Why Do QS Think This Is A Skill??!?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:35:35 GMT

There are only two grammar screw-ups that I can't pass up and I have to leave a comment when people use them.

It's amazing how many people think it's "I could care less" when it should be "I COULDN'T care less." The second grammar screw-up is when people say "I use to do..." when it's "I USED to do..."

Everything else can be forgiven.

Re: Why can't we turn off music?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:09:49 GMT

Yeah, it's a pretty messed up. I still play MW3, but between not being able to turn off the music and mic chat being broken, I definitely play a lot less than I otherwise would. I can't wait for Black Ops 2!

Re: Camping and holding an area _ theres a difference

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:40:57 GMT

Yeah, defending by spreading out and then not hiding in corners or windows but waiting for the enemy to come to you is still camping. "Holding down an area" aka camping is mostly accepted in many of the objective game-types though, since it greatly improves your chances of winning. Don't get me wrong though, the corner and window campers are in a completely different league, but it's all still camping.

Re: Petition to change the term Camp to Mousetrap

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:16:33 GMT

If you really keep moving around half a map, then that is definitely not camping and I don't know why you'd be accused of it. However, many people try to say "Holding down an area" when all they're really still doing is camping. People can continue to call camping whatever they want, but if someone is chillin' at a chokepoint and waiting... he's camping. Even if the guy moves on to another area, if he just keeps doing the same thing... he's camping.

Sometimes everyone is forced into camping for a kill or two, but anything more than that makes the game less fun.

I could lay on the ground in "plain sight" and get 3 kills silenced and with Assassin. Then move to another spot not too far away and do the same. "Holding down an area"? Yes. "Camping"? Also yes.

Hey, it's part of the game and there are too many people that get their jollies by playing this way for it to ever stop, but let's not fool ourselves, it IS camping.

Re: to all the haters out there

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:33:45 GMT

Really? So the mic chat is completely jacked, but oh well. The broken mic chat isn't just an annoyance, it's a huge part of the game. If you can't talk to your buddies while you're blasting, that takes away from the game in a big way. The way IW is promoting Elite with the social aspects angle, would make you think that broken mic chat is unacceptable. ...and it is.

Re: Anyone geeky enough to answer this?

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:15:27 GMT

How can you tell that you are picked host 95% of the time? I know how to tell sometimes in Black Ops, but the connection bars go up too fast in MW3 to see who's host.
