Who thinks that this game is easy?

Posted by iivrruummii on Nov 15, 2012 9:34 PM

I sure don't.

 

Here are 3 things that I have found that make this game quite difficult:

1.  UAV neglect.

2.  Longer to kill one person.

3.  Running solo.

 

I think that if you are neglecting UAVs then you deserve to get killed.  And if you are running solo then you deserve to get slaughtered.  But for killing people quickly that is all about how good you are.

 

This game is not easy.  There is no scapegoating here.  Stop blaming other things for your misfortune.

 

So what do you guys think of Black Ops 2?  What is your K/D?  What is your W/L or Win%?  I won't judge you, because I understand.

 

I have a 2.18 K/D and a 87% Win.  I play in a party of 4+, and we devour UAVs.

    K/D is 1.4 at the moment. Best I have ever had in ANY COD title. W/L is horrible (as I run solo) at around 30% or something like that. I only have about 5 hours play time in so both of those could change dramatically the more I play. Good or Bad....Hopefully more good though. I try to knock out as many UAV's as I can..but one man can only do so much UAV killing. Lol. Other than that I am having a blast with this game. Have had a couple WTF moments...but nothing that isn't bearable.

      I think after about another week or so people will be using Ghost and all the other perks and will be enjoying the game.  I prestiged and the first thing I bought was Ghost and have hardly even been using it, but I was still taking out UAVs like I didn't have Ghost on.

    Its easier than the other CoDs, but for some reason, I run best solo, most of my friends coincidentally have the same strategy as me ( and I make my own strategies.) So I get kill stolen a lot. My K/D is 1.12 ( and rising) with a lucky .7 W/L ratio. Loving the SMGs. Chicom CQB and PDW 57 FTW.

    To be honest, I'm finding BO2 challenging but actually more enjoyable.

     

    UAV spam is crazy so I'm spending so much time looking up in the air for UAVs. Annoying but it's free scorestreak points at the end of the day.

     

    I play in a party mostly because I prefer winning and playing solo is no-no for me when playing COD especially when you're matchmaked with non-objective randoms.

     

    Statistically, I'm doing worse in terms of K/D but I'm happy with the game apart from the connectivity. 1.30 K/D, SPM is 337 and 89% Win/Loss.

      I have lost many games due to Host Dashboarding.  My W/L is around a 6.5.

        Our matches end in forfeits or the host dashboards at the end of the game. It get's really frustrating when you're in one of those matches where you're tearing up and the opposing team/party just rage quits.

         

        I've had my share of bad games including a match where I  went 5-18 but unlike most players, I stayed until the end. Too many players just care way too much about their K/D.

          I went 3 games in a row 1 and 6 in SnD.  I completely understand.  But I got a lot of points off assists and stuff.

        Game was much easier before the weekend and before patch 1.03. I managed to keep a 2.2 kd and a 6 w/l. Either everybody got pro really quick or somethings not right. Kd dropped to 1.7 and w/l cut in half.

         

        When it's working correctly It's challenging that's for sure but it's that much more enjoyable when you do well. I don't think ghost will be really prevelant. I see more people using it but honestly if you are a rusher, which you kind of have to do with ghost, there are better perks to choose.

    This game is broken. It's not a level playing field. The broken netcode gives some people an advantage and puts some at a disadvantage. Just like MW3.

     

    My K/D in MW2 was around 1.8, IIRC. In BO it was slightly above 2 and rising. In both MW3 and BO2 it's around 1, because it's just impossible to do well in these games with my low latency connection. Constant insta-deaths, guns shooting blanks and other BS, completely out of sync. No point in playing.

    I agree that it's not easy because simply put, the same strategies that anyone used before need to be modified. You need to be CONSTANTLY aware of your surroundings because of the UAV spam. Keeps you on your tows regardless if your charging in or defending a position.

     

    I play on PS3 and my ratio after last night is 1.86 but it was like 1.5 before that with the disconnect issue. My Win loss also is pretty terrible right now because of the connectivity issue (I hope). It is rising slowly.

     

    Players must modify there strategies from past CoD's, there is no other way around it.

    As of today, I have lost a total of two games and tied one.  I have not encountered any dashboarding hosts (does a DB count as a loss like it did in BO?).  I have only played in a squad of 5 or 6 players.

     

    So do I find this game easy?  When I am playing with the squad that geographically local to me, yes it is very easy.  When I play with my squad that is on the other side of the US....no, this game is extremely frustrating.

     

    For all the testing that 3arch did before the launch, it must have all been over a LAN or something.  They had no consideration of how some of the weapons react to laggy situations, which in turn can make the game very frustrating for those impacted by these situations.

    Easy...For bad connection players.

     

    I really enjoy the game, when it works right...

     

    I play solo, so I understand the rage i'll get when I get placed with bad randoms(Which is 99.9% of the time.) but when the lag isn't bad to where I get killed before I see someone or they turn the corner and kill me yet I saw them first, it's so much fun.

    For me its the easiest CoD probably because this game heavily rewards flanking and PTFO, MW3/2 was horrid for me. I have 4 bars every game with 10 down 2 up (wireless, I can get 25 down 5 up wired, but I can't drill a hole through the wall.

    I have a K/D ratio of 0.05 and win percentage of 5%.

     

    Have 100/100 connection. maybe 75 down 27 up in test.

    My KD is around 0.95 and my W/L is about 0.65.

     

    I know you said don't make excuses, but the reason for this is lag compensation most of the time. I played a match and finished with a 2 kd. Then, in the same lobby with the same players on the same map (we voted it in again) I ended up finishing with 0.4 kd, and i was getting shot around corners and getting no hit detection.

     

    This isn't just me. Go on Youtube and you will see that there are a lot of commentators complining about lag right now.

      Lag is an excuse that I use a lot but the only reason why I use it because it is a valid excuse due to the servers.  I have a T1 connection and I feel like I am getting duped by this lag compensation BS.  They either need to get dedicated servers for consoles or get rid of the lag compensation and make the host selection for best connection like it used to.

    I believe this whole post makes you look like a complete noob. Seems to me your boasting about your KD, which is quite **** considering you play in a clan.

     

    I'm a solo player and I dominate nearly every game, I'm a team player and still manage to maintain a 1.90 KD ratio, 2.50 in Black ops 1, I managed to make top 30 in the world in the leaderboards last week.

     

    If I played in a decent enough clan I bet I could reach atleast a 3.50 - 4 KD in any CoD.

     

    Truth is, Run a clan member playing Solo, You'll find they're about as good as the next noob, That 2 KD will skyrocket down, Because they have nobody to back them up like they would in a clan.

     

    You'll also find that Clans wont play each other if they bump into each other in a lobby because they know it's not going to be as easy as dominating a team that isnt full of uneducated players.

     

    They just know how to dominate a game as a team by killwhoring and camping for high killstreaks.

     

    Clans = noobs that have ruined CoD.

    And yes, It is easy if your playing in a clan.

     

    So... Solo players, Rock on!

      You sir are F.O.S.  Lets be honest here.  I bet you back out when you see a clan.  So why are you even talking.  Another thing it is alot harder to keep a high K/D when I risk my life because I play the objective.  I bet that you just kill whore.  Next I play for the win.  I bet you could careless if you team wins or loses because you care only about your K/D.  I play with a party because they know I can support them and they can support me.  Playing solo is for fools.  I shoot down killstreaks not only for myself but for my whole team.  Which you probably don't.  I use support killstreaks like UAVs, CAUVs, and VSATs.  You probably run Dogs and Swarm, like a selfish person.  I can boast all I want about how good I am, I have every right to.  I do whatever I can to win rather than just racking up as much score as I can to bag about a high score per minute when you have no one to compete against.  I compete not only against the other team for score but my own team. 

       

      Calling clans noobs makes me laugh...that has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.  As for playing with a party or a clan, it is easier to win but it doesn't make the game any easier to play.  Another thing about clan member playing solo makes no difference other than he knows what is necessary to win but will be less likely to accomplish that with other selfish solo player who only care about themselves.

       

      I am not saying that all solo players play for themselves but most do and they are the real noobs.  So you can hate on me and other people that play in clans or parties all you want but in the end they will be always better than a selfish player playing only for himself.

       

      As for me playing in a clan makes no difference on how good of a player I am, other than I am just a smarter player in general.

          CS:GO was easy.  Halo 4 was easy.  Maybe you just suck at COD that is why you hate it so much.  As for my post I was comparing BO2 with the past CODs not another series.  So bringing up Halo and Counter Strike makes me think that you dislike COD a lot and thus don't need to be posting.

    so far i'm better in BO2 compared to all other COD titles. i'm a big demolition player and i actually play the objectives, with that being said the new score streak system has been working great for me, i hope it stays in future titles.
