Change Demolition back plz.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_xgA3-bXs4&context=C3f0001eADOEgsToPDskKe5PgZ0Yc YRLiwKQ1u8F-x

 

I cant even spawn anymore without this bullcrap happening

 

And I though spawns in domination and tdm were bad. Change the game type to what it was before please.

 

Spawn trapping wasnt an issue. you and your team were just crap and now look,

 

the complaining has caused people to spawn behind eachother and right beside the bomb theyre supposed to target and behind me

 

and thats balanced to you cowards? Smh

 

Go stick to tdm if you want people spawning all over like sheep without its shepard and leave demolition to the pros....

    Spawn trapping was an issue, and no people were not just crap, the spawns were crap the way they were before. You are now just crap because you can not spawn trap for easy kills and kill streaks.

     

    Leave demo for the pros... yeah right you are no pro if you come here and say that crap.

     

    Your the coward for not being able to deal with random spawns. The only thing that needs to be done is disable the spawns within 100 feet of the objective, nothing else.

      Re: Change Demolition back plz.....

      I swear all trialsstardragon does, no matter the argument at hand, is just argue the opposite case for the sake of an argument lol.

       

      Anyways back on topic. Yes i think demo should have its spawn set back to the way they were. There is now no tactical skill in the game. Before if you were getting locked down in your own spawn you had to work as a team and use actual skill to break the lock. Now you just spawn behind the enemy, where is the skill in that? And for all the complainers about "spawn trapping", you do not start the game in a spawn trap do you? you shouldnt let yourself get spawn trapped, its your fault for not being able to control the map.

       

      To sum up. Random spawns decrease the skill gap between the good players and the bad (as if the gap wasnt small enough already).

        Actually Marsie I do just that very things. For every discussion needs both sides to be stated for never is one side more important than the other.

         

        You do realize this is a game meant for fun, there should be no skill gap at all. The best game made has no skill gap where all players are equal and have an equal chance, not where one team can abuse a game mechanic flaw to win easily.

         

        It should have never been about map control in the first place, that is MLG notion that never belonged in this game to begin with.

          Re: Change Demolition back plz.....

          Trial, so what you are telling me is that the best game made has no skill gap where all players are equal and have an equal chance of winning? So you think that if you and 5 other people, each chosing one number on a dice (or di, which ever on is singular lol), and then sit around rolling it is the best game ever made? Sounds pretty boring to me.

           

          What makes multiplayer games fun is the competition, just like in any sport/game. If there is no skill gap there is no competition which means no fun. Im not just talking about hardcore win at all costs competition, light casual competition to.

           

          The oxford dictionary defines a game as "A form of play or sport, esp. a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck." A skill gap is also needed to be able to improve. A game gets very boring very fast if its not possible to get better at it.

           

          As for the map control argument, maybe i should word it better. Maybe the term "controlling the game" is more suitable. Controlling a game is how you win a game (assuming the game you are playing is based on skill and or strength not luck). Fighting for control of the game is what makes the game fun. Map control is just one of many things needed to control the game, as is controlling your engagements, communicating with team mates and even the loadout you chose.

           


          TLDR
          Getting the skill gap and learning curve right is probably one of the most important things to get right in a game. A game like CoD has to be "a minute to learn... a lifetime to master".

           

          Unpredictability and randomness negate skill. Thus making the skill gap pointless and making the game frustrating for players at the higher end of the skill gap since their skill is pointless.

            Re: Change Demolition back plz.....

            That is where you are wrong the competition comes it pitting equally skilled players against each other. Demo did not do that, it allowed players to abuse the spawn system to get an advantage one that never should have existed in the first place. No player or team should have an advantage over another because of the spawn system such as sided spawns.

             

            the only thing they need to do is disable the spawns near the objective so people can not spawn right at them and plant or defuse. A good team can still very easily hold off the attackers and prevent them from planting, with out the need to try and trap the other players in one area of the map as before.

             

            No CoD does not need to be "a minute to learn... a life time to master", for it is just a game for entertainment and not really a sport to begin with.

             

            Being able to react and adapt to random factors is the very essence of skill. Having it play and work the same every time negates skill.

        Thse AntiAssasinPro fool does not even deserve to post here for his style of posting and what he says..

         

        See I can do that too.

         

        And the five stars by by name are not given through karma or anything like that here on this site. It is solely by post count and how long I have been here. And I have been part of the series on the forums far longer than you foolish tool.

         

        My K/D has nothing to do with if I should have the right to state my view or not. And if you think it does you are nothing more and elitest prick that never learned that this is just a game and nothing more.

         

        People did not learn to adapt, they had no choice if the wanted to play that game mode but to accept how it was played. Finally IW got smart and fixed an issue that never should have been there from the beginning. People like you are just mad because you can not trap/camp anymore for easy kills and now have to watch your back instead of being complacent like you were in the past.

            Actually yes they do have the right to change anything about the game they want since they did develop the game you fool. You do not own the game or the right to tell them how to make it. IW on the other hand has every right to change any part of the game they see fit regardless if you like it or not.

             

            I do not play on kiddistation. I only play on the xbox 360. So sorry no PSN to post. And no I am not going to post my GT here either just to be spammed by people like you. Unlike all the idiots that post their GT's places I am smart enough not to do that.

             

            Your forum account name shows enough for me not to need to take you serious since you can not deal with assasinpro. You are a noob if you can not handle how the game was changed. You are the one not adapting to how the game changed. You are the one trying to demand that it never change from what you like and want because it was easier for you and your friends.

             

            The fact that you have to call someone a coward shows that you are the real coward and just will not adapt to the changes because it is not as easy as it once was for you.

             

            And no I do not camp in the game all the time. Some games I rush, others I camp like a monster just depends on the weapon and perks I am using. For I never play the same all the time. I use every gun in this game, every perk, every attachment, every nade, every equipment. I do not need kills handed to me by holding them in one place like you seem to need.

                Re: Change Demolition back plz.....

                Clearly half the forum does not agree with you. And no you do not own the game, you bought a copy and own the media it is on but not the game itself. All you bought was the media and the privelige to play online that is all. IW owns the game so they have all the rights and can make any change they see fit even if you or others do not agree or like it.a

                 

                And there again your makin comment about my posts means nothing. I have been on these forums for a bit longer than you. It is not hard to get that many posts, so it means nothing.

                 

                And your name is enough content to judge the book by. Your forum name clearly shows you do not like assasin because of how it 1)hides players so you can not red dot hunt, 2) hides players so your kill streaks do not get you the kills you think it should. which clearly shows that no you can not adapt. Or else you would not need to come here and cry like a kid about it.

                 

                And there you go again thinking that those stats really mean something when they do not and never did. And having a 1.50 or 1.38 is not that great really. I have friends that have more then that. So stop acting like you are a great player, when all you are is an average player that can not adapt to a change because it made the game harder to get easy kills since now you have look more than just out in front all the time.

    The problem is they don't have there priorities straight. The connection is only thing they should be working on. It's like buying new tires for a car with a blown motor. Yes it needs to be looked at but not until it runs.

    Re: Change Demolition back plz.....

    demo is kind of an iffy issue due to the fact that one bomb site is for the most part in the spawn area. Now it would be nice if the sites were say closer to the defending spawn but not in it. However if you have noticed the maps are not designed with all gametypes in mind they look like they were designed for ffa with 8 players.

     

    the issue wasn't the spawns but rather the placement of the objectives and the design of the maps. its like trying to run a semi with an engine designed for a motorcycle.

    Re: Change Demolition back plz.....
    The problem here is that the spawns only flip like that when one team has pushed ahead of the objectives and entered the opposing spawn zones. The usual offenders for this are the attackers, but some times defenders push too far as well. I agree that it is an issue that needs to be looked at, but then again, the way it was before didn't really help either. The only thing that will really make things better is if teams stop playing Demo (or HQ, Dom, other objective based games) like TDM (i.e. playing for kills) - but we all know that won't happen.

    Re: Change Demolition back plz.....

    Personally I don't see Demolition lasting as a game mode in COD.

     

    It can only work if the bomb sites are progressive (like Rush in BF) as the bomb sites don't move to different locations everytime the attacking team takes down both bomb sites, requires much larger maps which COD doesn't offer & it's a game type for players to boost their K/D.

     

    I did play it in the BLOPS days and realised how flawed the gametype was in terms of spawns & how much of an advantage it is to be on the defending team.

     

    Spawns will never be fixed in demolition unless COD devs develop maps the size of what BF offers (which they obviously won't).

     

    I don't think it's right that they spawn behind you though.

    Re: Change Demolition back plz.....

    Spawns switching sides on objective game modes just doesnt feel right, especially in demo. In domination its fair enough if you start capping or a just pushed right up near their home flag if the spawns switch. Atleast you usually get a warning because they usually try and capture your own home flag.

     

    If this new spawn system is here to stay then i suggest someway of letting teams know that the spawns have switched sides. This feature is in GoW3 and works perfectly, the announcer says "enemy forces!" everytime the spawns switch.

     

    I think this will make things more even. At the moment when the spawns switch who ever you just killed knows generally where you and your team are where as you have know idea where they are coming from. So all they have to do is come from behind and shoot you in the back, wheres the skill in that? If the game announced that the spawns had switched this would mean the team was pushing the enemy into the own spawn has the chance to alteast turn around and start pushing towards the enemy again.

     

    Everyone keeps going on about how "spawn trapping" isnt fair, well this means no more spawn trapping, since the enemy spawns will switch sides but it will also mean that the other team will be able to take the enemy on head on again. They won't be able to insta-"spawn trap" again on the other side either since they wont have time and the enemy will have been able to get out of their spawn.

     

    Anyone think this is a good idea? feel free to shoot it down aslong as you have good reasons to back it up lol

      Re: Change Demolition back plz.....

      Your idea about it annoucing the switch is not bad really. Though it would take away some of the surprise factor unless perks like dead silent would prevent it fom being announced. It should not just announce every time the ememy is near your spawn for it would make stealth game play almost useless.
