they need to get rid of that retarded X everytime you hit somebody through a wall.

This.

They implemented this in promod for the PC and it worked great. You could still pick up the kill through the wall if you knew they were there, just no way to spray and find out.

Re: And yet another day without a patch

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 19:21:32 GMT

I'm sorry that they can't push out a patch every day to satisfy your needs.

I'd rather that they take their time and work on making a good patch rather than pushing out patches every other day that barely fix anything.

Re: Clan Tag Feature

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 06:38:05 GMT

The brackets do suck.

I actually discovered recently that you can use special characters in your clan tag by editing it in through the config. Just CTRL+F for clanName in your config and edit in what you want. You still will have the 4 character limit. Now my clan can use =FA= for their tags instead of just FA. It's really funny because the ='s even get shown on the guns with the clan tag feature, so they obviously had support for special characters, just didn't let us input them.

Re: RCON App?

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 06:32:28 GMT

My clan already has a web-based RCON tool so we don't need to alt-tab. We just use the steam browser. I think we've considered makign an android variant, but I'm not completely sure.

Re: How Many Hackers Have You Run Into??

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 06:30:43 GMT

Across our 3 servers we have 9 total bans. Not sure if they are all hackers or just ******** that we needed to ban.

Even just one player with a Strela is a force to be reckoned with. I have the Strela on most of my classes and enemy aircraft is lucky if it stays up for half a minute.

Here's the facts.

He can rent a ranked server and still have his own rules. There's nothing you can do about it, and Treyarch isn't going to intervene.

Find another server or rent your own.

This is pretty much it.

At this point of the discussion the thread has pretty much degenerated into "I'm right!" "No, I'm right!" conversations and it's hardly worth to try debating anymore.

I believe the OP has missed one key point, that Treyarch said you could have custom rules on RANKED servers. SO.............
No they didn't.

Unless Treyarch explicitly states otherwise, it is completely fair to assume any server admin can kick for whatever reason they want.

Yes you paid extra , yes you can fine tune it as you want, BUT AS A UNRANKED server. Thats the only server class that gives you the right to make those changes. Can't you get in into your thick skulls. Put your damn server as UNRANKED and go complain to Treyarch that you want to be able to rank up like us who play on unmodified RANKED servers. No you guys act like a bunch of egotistic power hungry idiots that think you guys can ruin it for the general population of gamers that get harrassed if we use a goddamn claymore when the game is allowing us to use it. Wake the hell up at at least admit thats what your doing is circumventing the damn config file in order to please your self indulging righteous selves and stop trying to spew your crap trying to justify that because you paid for your server that it gives you the right to do it!!!!! If you had the right Treyarch would have given you guys the rights to change it in your config files!!!!

Believe it or not, us server owners are not trying to "ruin it for the general population of gamers". We are, in fact, catering to a smaller (but still prevalent) subset of players who can appreciate the different rules. If you don't like a server, find a new one. If you don't like finding a new one, play on a Treyarch server. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Vahn is a developer and JD is a robot. At least, that's my theory.

Re: Player Speed

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 04:38:12 GMT

As stated above, it's an arcade shooter.

Also, I'm pretty sure the speed in MW2 and BO is exactly the same, or at least VERY similar. Not to mention Lightweight in MW2 makes you faster than it does in BO.

OP here.

"I pay for the server. It's my right to run it how I want."

We payed for the game, and we just want to play the game. As per THIS game, ranking up and completing challenges is a part of -playing- the game. Where's your compromise? I gave you mine, from the players' perspective. Make your special-rules server Unranked.

We payed for the game as well. However, we ALSO payed for our own servers.

"So go to another server."

Are you serious? I've seen a few of these posts. Are you trolling? I addressed this TWICE in my OP.

Here's a thought. Instead of "just go to another server", how about you "just make your server for another game". Sure, you could do that, but it's a hassle. It's not what you shelled out the cash to rent the server for. It shouldn't be necessary. And I'm a jerk for suggesting it as a valid point. FASCINATING.

You could buy a server yourself. But you won't do that. You want to have your cake and eat it too. If you want the game to played exactly how you want (which I absolutely cannot believe is such a big deal to find a good vanilla server) you could go buy your own. Fascinating, isn't it?

So, what's the word on third party RCON tools?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 04:22:14 GMT

Are these sorts of tools actually allowed or not?

I don't want to post a thread about my clan's only to end up having it be against the rules.

Re: hey, look who i bumped into!!

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 04:20:29 GMT

I think there was a guy hacking on one of my clan's servers earlier, but for whatever reason it wasn't recording theater footage from that server. I didn't want to ban some guy who might not have been hacking. :/

Re: Calling me a cheater.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 20:11:08 GMT

Just find some servers with some cool admins. I know on my clan's servers we wont kick until we've reviewed Theater footage, or if it's just a blatant aimbot getting headshot after headshot. I'd recomment a server with admins who are good players, because they will understand that you are just playing really good and not hacking. Obviously another thing you can do is get your own servers, and laugh at anybody calling hacks on you.

I run my own server, not to change the game to how I want to played like a selfish child, but to give people a place to play the game, how it was intended, without the worry for any cheaters or people who overuse profanity.

And that's how you run it. That's perfectly fine, and definitely respectable. However, some of us admins like to set up our servers in a way to make it more enjoyable for ourselves and players with similar opinions. Neither way is inherently better, just better for different players. If you don't like one servers rules go find another. If you honestly can't find one you like, buy your own.

no, their is hitbox issues like their was in WAW, the hitbox issues I refer to is hitbox lag.

and it seems non existant on most SMGs for some reason which is why SMGs over power any other wep in CQ and sometimes at ranged.

Often times lag on your end will affect your hit registration. If there are hitbox problems it would apply to all guns. The reason SMGs do great in CQs is because they are supposed to.

recoil, dmg, and all of that on SMG including the 74u dont seem over powered when you use them, its the fact their is bugs that need to be worked out on them.

SMGs as I said many times before seem to win head to head battles all the time because they have no hitbox issues, sometimes you dead before that first bullet of an SMG even hits you, and their range is ridiculous even though they suppose to be CQC weps.

I'm sorry, but do you even know what you are saying? "Hitbox issues"? The hitbox is the same for every character and every bullet path from any weapon is calculated the exact same way. There are no "hitbox issues". What you're talking about is lag.

@smithjn: That's not the AK74u being overpowered, that's HC being unbalanced. HC has ALWAYS been unbalanced. It's no surprise that it still is.
