    I'd say at this point, it is what it is.  They've done what they could.  But they didn't quite get there though.  I think for one's mental space it's best just to let it go and hope for Black Ops 2 to have better connectivity.

    If you are playing Black Ops on Xbox...you will be fine.  I'm honestly scared of the PS3 version though.  I can hope that the PS3 version is at least playable.  If not, I'll play zombies until they get that fixed.  And from the track record of Treyarch, it looks like i'll be playing zombies

    The BO port was indeed horrible, and after playing a bit more BO today which i haven't done in ages other than the odd match here and there, it seems that eventhough i've always had a decent internet connection with low pings and played with an open NAT by forwarding ports, the ugrade i made to my connection and HW since February this year has caused also BO to screw me over with lag compensation. I couldn't get a single match today playing TDM where the opponent did not have the advantage over me, and there were over 300k people online overall with the majority on TDM as usual.

     

    I actually though that since i usually didn't get any lag issues with BO earlier, that Treyarch actually had a good record of fixing their game even though the release and the first month(s) were horrible. It's not as bad as MW3, but the lag issue is there, and like in MW3 it's increases if you are the host. So keeping this in mind, i'm not getting my hopes up even if i have preordered BO2.

     

    Unfortunately i don't like zombies that much, so i guess i will play it and rage like i do with MW3, and keep hoping they fix it if sucks on launch. What i will do though, is postpone purchasing a new gaming headset because i don't want to make the investement if i don't have a CoD game that you play without frustration.

    I hated zombies until I played with a group that could teach me the right and wrong things to do.  Once I knew what to do...it's beyond addictive.

    may i ask why the sniper only/no sniper playlist got ignored with 41% of the people voting for that

    and why you guys where so fast in getting SnD in GW while that also got 41% of the votes ?

     

    and then mainly with the eye on how many complaints there been through the last 11 months about quickscoping

    While I don't work for them, I think I can help with this one:

     

    Creating a new playlist, such as "Snipers Only" involves tweaking the settings enough to disallow every other weapon except sniper rifles. Either that, they just set-up some pre-set Custom Classes, and take away the users ability to use custom set-ups. Simply put, it would take a lot longer to set-up on a technical side.

     

    Adding S&D into Groundwar on the other hand is just a simple matter of adding it into the rotation. Everything is already in place to support the playlist since it already exists, and thus can be done relatively quickly.

    then why even inquire about it ?

     

    the hate towards quickscoping is strong with a big part of the community

    so why ask and give us false hope and then go for an easier solution just for the sake of it being easier if it went down like that

     

    seeing how many oopsies they had it would've been alot nicer gesture imho towards a big part of the community as the quickscoping in IW games always causes an upsteer in the community

    They may still plan on adding it. It could be that in the process of trying to implement it, there were more technical issues than they thought. It could also be it got pushed down in terms of priority due to other things needing addressed (DLC and Match-making for instance). It could also just be they forgot. This question I really can't answer.

     

    I'm sure Candice would be willing to look into it though if we ask, she's usually pretty good about that. I'd like to see a Sniper Only playlist as much as anyone (so I can Snipe and not QS).

    I tried out Domination yesterday and today on Xbox.  Absolutely horrible.  Worse than before with or without DLC enabled.  This game has always been terrible and always will be terrible.  I'm officially done.  It will not go back in my Xbox, nor will I ever buy another IW game.  I've wasted so much time on this board discussing, hoping that it would do some good.  Has it done any good?  Nope, definitely not.  I'm very salty right now that I was lied to almost a year ago being told that this game would be fixed.
