2 months later....

Consider this my early morning rant...

 

While the game has gotten slightly better (7 fkn patches later... kind of a given right?). I am completely fed up with Activision...

They finally waited out all the customers to move on to allow their shitty Elite service the ability to handle the mobile apps.. cool..

 

Too bad the simple web app wont work for any pre-4G device... did i somehow miss that little detail during marketing??

 

operations still dont work... lmao... Honestly, that is absolutely PATHETIC! its become blatently obvious they never had Elite working... they sold you a promise that apparently they dont have the ability to fullfill..... they damn sure have the money, but the talent is obviously not there.

 

I am waiting on hold with Xbox support... I am demanding my money back for Elite... sure the subcription is like a contract but they have to live up to their end of it... which they havent dont whatsoever..still deciding if the game is being traded in as well..

 

I will never buy another Activision product ever... you have joined the list with THQ.... think of it as my own personal boycott to bullshit companies that shouldnt be in business in the first place..

 

but keeping releasing garbage... your sales looked great opening week, no doubt.... but why is your player count half what Black ops was? why is there a full shelf of used copies at my local GS? marketing will only allow you to pass off inferior products for so long... and at least for me, that time has come..

 

that feels better... lol...

    U mad Bro..........Sorry could not resist.

     

    I feel your pain and do beleive that everyone who purchase Elite was sucked in by good Marketing. Am sure they will get it up and running some time tho.

     

    This has happended to me before so I was Quite cleaver to stay away from Elite this time around. Maybe once it is working I will visit see what it is all about but for the moment I am giving it a miss.

    Yea i'm with you on that. MW3 is a joke and i'm just laughing at the people that lie to themselves.

     

    I went from only playing CoD every day to sniping on BF3 and playing Black Ops.

    So yer if you live in the uk? Could you let me know how it goes, i enjoy the game, but the fact elite is not working after a couple of months, i total BS.

    Re: 2 months later....

    I agree this whole thing has gotten absolutely out of control. They keep putting out these patches and I see no real improvement. When I have more that two friends that want to play together forget about having a game that isn't infested with lag. There are still major issues with the lag compensation. I am on the east coast and any time after 10 oclock my time the gaming becomes almost unplayable. The only reason I can think of is that that is when the west coast starts poring into the game and this game just can't handle it. It happens every single night. The other point about elite is just sad. We paid for this thing up front and are getting skrewed big time. So for three months we have been waiting for something with this and nothing. All we get is an extra month (for free) since they are still counting the first three as legitimate months to have us pay for. Just sad on there part. I can't say that I won't buy another activision product, what I can say is that I will not buy another infinityward/activision COD on release EVER. I will wait for at least a month, I don't care what kind of crasy marketing campaign they put out or what type of promises are made for people who preorder etc. It just isn't worth is. And who knows just buy waiting that extra month I could get the game on craigslist for half the price.

      Re: 2 months later....

      I'll buy a treyarch cod on release, as i love there games despite the problems, IW/SH probably wont, and the main reason for this is the maps, mw3 maps whilst they aint all bad, they're so boring compared to previous titles, i just hope to god that the dlc is good, as that's the only thing from elite that's stopping me from raging.

    Re: 2 months later....

    Connection wise the game for me has been about the same as all previous versions.  November through the beginning of January has always been hit or miss with many horrible connection rooms although the last couple weeks have been relatively decent as long as we don't try to play Ground War. . 

     

    I got Elite for the DLC.  The rest was just a bonus although honestly if Clan Operations would have been working at the start like it should have been that would have been a heck of a boon especially with all the double xp you can unlock.  Getting the 1 month free to compensate for the first month being horrible was nice and since then I've had almost not problem with Elite provided I view it from my PC. Going to it from Xbox on the other hand limits what I can see and do still. 

     

    As long as enough DLC content comes out then I wont feel I wasted my money on it and of course will directly impact whether or not I continue once the year is up.

    Re: 2 months later....

    what do you mean the app doesn't work on pre-4G devices? assuming you're counting the iPhone 4S as a 4G device?

     

    the iOS app is great. i am wondering why there is so much elite hate, because i assumed most folks paid for the hardened edition to get all the DLC in one shot upfront. i guess not? who gaf about clan trash? sure it's fun to play with friends but if you have an organized team of people to play a video game you probably need to go outside

    Re: 2 months later....

    wasn't saying being in a clan makes you a loser. but can't you still play as a clan without having some kind of app that monitors it for you?

     

    i understand that they promised things that are still broken. that doesn't exist solely in the elite portion of COD tho. most games have bugs and 7 patches is a good sign IMO. i'd rather it was perfect right away but that isn't realistic.

     

    yeah the openGL stuff works but you need to upgrade to the latest iOS version. what about the DLC looks disappointing? i'm looking forward to a mosh pit of the new maps. really sick of playing outpost, mission and dome. ok maybe not dome

     

    if they give us shipment will you still be disappointed?

    Agree, Game is still broken as ever, and the post launch support is garbage. 2 months and 7 patches! Wow! Lets not forget that they did near nothing. Fix lag comp!

    Re: 2 months later....

    i agree on some of the patch notes being BS. the FMG's, type95, striker need tweaking. lag comp is better but host disadvantage is still a disaster.

     

    the spawns don't appear to have changed much either. i.e. village revenge spawns are still very much alive and well. kill a guy near the pickup truck and head back towards the tanker. he's on his way to meet you lol

     

    is it really confirmed to be 1 map for 9 months? that can't be right. i think it's more likely you will see 4 or 5 maps per map pack. I don't expect all DLC to be maps though. More like month 1: map pack. month 2: weapon pack. month 3: Spec Ops mission. month 4: spec ops survival maps.

     

    something like that. releasing ONE MAP will melt this comunity down proper. lol

      Re: 2 months later....

      The people enjoying the game or defending it are mostly benefitting from lag comp. I usually let alot of things slide before considering a game "Bad" or commenting on it but this is definelty the worst MW out of the 3. There was such a huge difference going from MW to MW2........ Graphics,Attachements,Weapons,Perks,Killstreaks,Titles,Emblems and more. Almost everything is the same on this one from MW2, EVEN THE FONT OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS. I dont care or mean to make a big deal out of the font, but its just to show how much of a copy and paste this game was from MW2. So many people are complaining and have all the right to because the way this game was advertised and all the bullshit that was promised never came through. There was much more fireworks marketing this game than MW2 so everyone expected a huge change from MW2 like there was for MW to MW2. Im waiting for Respawn to come out with their game since most of the guys working their made Modern Warfare. I wanted to post what should be changed to try and the dev's attenion to fix the lag comp and spawning, but i guess their too busy trying to fix Elite. 7 UPDATES IN JUST 2 MONTHS ON THE BIGGEST OR ONE OF THE BIGGEST TITLES IN GAMING AND STILL HAVING THOUSANDS TO MILLIONS OF COMPLAINTS..........WHAT A JOKE.

    Re: 2 months later....

    good to know. i feel like i've already received far more than $100 of value for the game. currently at about $0.45 per hour and i'm not done yet

     

    which map do you think looks ok and which garbage? i think piazza looks like it has potential but will ultimately just be full of spammers [striker + fmg's] while liberation/central park will be more playable with a mix of smg's, ar's and snipers. we shall see...

        Re: 2 months later....

        I am happy for you.

        I am a fan of CoD thank you.

        I am also a fan of BF, NCAA Football, Fallout, Skyrim, Bioshock, and several other titles I keep.

        It has flaws. Every single CoD does. They have all said the same thing for years.

        "This is the worst CoD ever."

        "This game is broken."

        "The took my money and ran."

        It has flaws yes but I enjoy the game.

        I am simply pointing out that even though you are done with this game you are on the forums for it. I don't understand why you bothered b*tching about the game and not just stop playing it?

        I never said you were an idoit and will not get into an internet troll flame-war with you. I am happy for you getting your money. Now I look forward to you leaving the forums with your derogatory remarks. Enjoy your next game.

            Fanboy is derogatory. Hillbilly?

            So you meant fanboy in the most respectful polite way right? Sure.

            You don't like the game dude. Just sell it! You are not fixing any issues with the constant complaining.

            I congratulated you on your finding of the refund.

            I am not ignorant. I admit the game has flaws. I have being playing CoD since before it ever even hit consoles. I see the flaws in this game. I have heard the same thing said about every single CoD.

            You post was a success. You told people that if they called customer support they could get their money back if they stated that they were unhappy. Good work.

            Again if you truly don't like this game then why play it and not just sell it?

                Good answer. I live in Tennessee and yeah we all talk southern. I am pretty sure it was you that said Hillbilly. I have been wrong before but hey.

                One way to have fun with it is to not take it so seriously. It is game.

                Good response and thanks for answering the question. Gamestop is open until 9pm everywhere.
