If the perks are deleted, how is he using them?  Is the coding for them still on the disk?

Yes, the code for them is still on the disk. In fact, most of the perks from MW2 were at one point supposed to be in the game. Danger Close, Stopping Power, Last Stand, Juggernaut, Ninja, and One Man Army all still have their image icons in the game. Also in the Perks.gsc (these are like files for multiplayer) you can find a lot more. It's actually really interesting.

You can find videos of people who have accessed these on the Wii (lol Wii). There are also deleted Deathstreaks which can still be used in modded Private Matches such as Pain Killer, and Copy Cat.

Something just hit me today, right after reading the responses in regards to "fixes soon".  I believe the original coders that wrote the netcode/lag comp/match making, the core of multuplayer are gone.

One clue that gave this away is, it was stated applications were being written to review the code in regards to connectivity. Which seems they have no idea where certain functions are being called from and how they interact.  No developer who originally wrote the code/package needs to write another application to review his own work, however another coder MUST to try and understand what the previous coder had done, tracking down functions and where they are called and how they interact.

How did i miss this? It is not about them knowing how to fix it, they have a team that can do just that, the skill and the talent, the problem is it is not thier code, it is not thier work, the new coders have no clue ( are currently figuring it out ) how it was originally written to handle connectivity.

This is why and every update something else breaks, same problem, just another version of it. The new coders are "hoping" this works based on the best information they have at hand.

This situation is a coders nightmare, if you ask the coders directly, they would rather re-write the entire POS from scratch then sit day after day trying to figure out what the other coder(s) did. However, there is not 2 years to fix the game.

This fits, this is why we get soon, we think, it should, we hope, if the original coders were still with IW and **** broke they know why, what needs to change, what has to be done, in a day? a month? no, in a few minutes the dev's responsible for the original code would have the answer of why it broke, time to repair a week ( depending on team members ).

Interesting huh?  Who knows why they left, what is more interesting is the entire "developement" tree is missing ( lead developer is gone also LOL )

How ignorant of myself to believe IW had thier **** together and they simply produced a **** game at the cost of everyone.  I appologize.

There are also deleted Deathstreaks which can still be used in modded Private Matches such as Pain Killer, and Copy Cat.

Damn, if only we could switch DMH & Final Stand for Copycat since it's already on the disc.

On a serious note, I hope this gets sorted out.

So, I decided to try and play after about a month (been playing diablo 3) and I must say, you guys still absolutely suck. Now I can try and respond like I did months ago and attempt to be respectful but you guys don't deserve respect, you guys are capable of fixing your product you just choose not to, that right there makes me see you as money hungry scum.

I want to say "oh Infinity Ward you have disappointed me" however, I'm MORE disappointed with Activision. Activision has let you guys put out garbage games your last two titles, they need to smarten the hell up and remove you from the cycle. Give another company a shot at taking turns with Treyarch, you guys are just taking up space.

Go ahead and keep on adding new maps, new modes, new guns... at the end of the day you guys are averaging the same amount of people online at any given time Black Ops does, meaning you guys have obviously don't something wrong and those new mapes/additions are doing nothing for you (hell most of the community would rather have no DLC if you would actually invest your time in fixing the core problems of the game).

As we speak I have mw3 on LSN. I'll wait until BO2 comes out and until then just do what I'm doing. I do congratulate you guys on pissing off millions upon millions of people and pretty much ruining this years addition, I'm sure you guys are perfectly fine with things cause you already got your bonuses and/or are probably overpaid anyways so keeping your fans/customers happy is the LEAST of your worries (which explains lack of community involvement and listening to feedback). You guys will do perfect making a single player shooter or maybe a Pokemon game, I suggest you look into both paths.

Can you not just remove launchers from hardcore game modes????

Seriously half the people only jump on hardcore to spam tubes and launchers, i play hardcore because it plays smoother than normal and it's a test of skill. Dying randomly to smaws and grenade lauchers is stupid, it's spammed and deserved to be removed. I thought this game was meant to be mostly gun on gun battles? And patching Blast sheild for hc isn't going to solve this problem, fix it please because hardcore is just mw2 again and that FS!
