I meant " Did they nerf this gun?" by the way.

Ha ha. I never thought of it that way.

It is absurd some of the things people talk about. "Did they need a gun?" No, probably just crap matchmaking, causing you to have fire more bullets to get the desired results. "Will you please buff these guns?" Probably not, due to the reason that they are more than likely balanced in a LAN setting and crap matchmaking is producing different results.

I do smile when I see the threads, buff this, nerf that, don't put a portable radar in BO2. None of that will matter if you're five seconds behind the rest of the match, a match full of ice skaters and break dancers. I'm convinced the developers couldn't have created some of the scenes I've seen in this game if they wanted to. Still I guess I should be grateful for the cultural experience and teaching me how to call someone a camper or noob in french, german, polish, spanish and other languages. There was me thinking I'd bought a FPS when actually I got learn a foreign language.

Better ISP service will do nothing.

As I stated in the original post. Why worry about how the game is destroying your enjoyment now? Keep asking for a better Theater, Stealth Perk, weapons.

I imagine it was and therefore he is as ignorant as his comment was.

I think it was a racist remark about how his vision of "common sense" ended with the Civil War and now everything is centered around appealing to everyone and making sure we are all "winners"

My interpretation

I will add that if ANY of these devs ever ended up having to serve a real COD, they'd be more lost than any pogue I met. Id bet a cool grand that NONE of them have EVER held a real weapon.

I definitely understand yours. I have no issue with making sure things that are in the game work. They should.

Let me clarify a little. When the Forum first opened up. There was of course very little to talk about. It had been stated by fourzerotwo that SP as a Perk had been removed, Commando, OMA...blah.blah.blah.

Yet very little attention was focused on how well the game was going to perform, if the same system for netcoding, matchmaking, connectivity was going to be used.

That is why I started this http://www.callofduty.com/message/205322754#205322754

way back when.

Really what i am getting at with this Thread is that, a new game is on it's way. Time should be used that has been given to us to call upon Vahn and Staff to ensure us that we will not be going through the issues that we did last year. It is somewhaat pointless to all of a sudden to wakr up after 6 months of a game being out and trying to make a stand for improvements to how a game runs. As a Developer has stated to me many times, week we arent having many complaints about how the game runs except for a few.

What they are being bombasted with is...

Shotgun NO killy in 1 hit...Buff

me Druganov no 1 hit kill..buff

and things of such nature that depend on matchmaking performing well and the Developers getting the gam erunning as smooth as possible.

Look at all the effort into making Game Modes, Extra "Free" Maps. " Give them more pretty boards, and games to play..they'll shut up". Senseable customers are the ones who say " Well thats all well and good, what about addressing issues that will keep me and others from buying that crap?"
Maybe appeasing disgruntled customers is part of their evil plan, but you have to know that the devs are perfectly aware of the matchmaking issues. I think "forumites" should bring up the core big issues as well as the smaller less consequential issues because they're all part of the game. (or what we wish would be a part of the game)
That is my point in this Thread...

All year long, even before the games come out. The majority worry about the less consequential/fluff more then they do the Core issues of performance. Then when they arent feeling as if they are getting a fair shake at a good experience, they then turn "OMG,WTF, WTH" and all that other nonsense.

It doesnt matter how many things that they put 'uber cool' in the game. The more they add 80+% of the time they screw the game up, because it is a new additive that has not really been tested online.

The "forumites" should talk about the big and small of it all IMO, because the devs are definitely aware of the big but may not be so aware of the small.

It looks like what you want is for the devs to put a halt on any fluff work and devote all their resources to figuring out the big issues like matchmaking. I'd have to say, this would not be a bad thing. I will say, however, that the chances of this happening remain exactly the same, whether we get the "forumites" to concentrate on posting big issue stuff or not.

Either way, I can see your point and I'm sure you can see mine.

If you're still singing from the same song sheet after the 13days I have put in then I would agree with you. I have probably had around half of those days as okay, but only because I back out of any lobby above 75ms, which I shouldn't have to do. My brother has Virgin and he disagrees with you, he wishes he had stayed with Sky who he had previously.

I'm a 3 prestige with over 4days of gameplay and I play at all times against all opponents from all countries. Not just luck.

If you want a service that varies between 0.02-60meg, then yeah go with Virgin. If you want a service that is consistent then look elsewhere. Sounds to me like NJOY hs simply been playing at the right/lucky time. Personally, I am with Sky and they don't vary their service, it is consistently good, more than can be said for CoD.

Anyway, the problem isn't the internet service provider, if it was then after five years of CoD we would have soon realised and everybody switched to the best. Not only that, the better your connection the greater chance you have of being host and suffering from that angle. So it isn't "simples".

UK? If so..you are one of the first to say that you have no problems. I have see a lot of UK Forumites state they have Virgin and have problems.

Re: Well it is that time of year again...

I have 60mg broadband from virgin. No problems my end as per usual. Get better internets... Seemplez.
