I know this isn't the correct forum to post anything about BO2, but this post is more of a question for the IW folk.

 

I'm monitoring David Vonderhaar's twitter and he's now responding to complaints of the ridiculous lag/lag comp in BO2, but his replies are strangely reminiscent of those from GHANDI... Supposedly, he needs videos to prove the lag issues.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

 

Is there no communication between IW and Treyarch?  I really thought there was.  If anything, given how bad the lag issues are/were in MW3, I would expect IW to have shared the telemetry data they got to help their brethren not repeat the same mistakes.  Perhaps I'm wrong.

Firstly, I'm sorry you feel I was merely bluffing and stalling during the time I spent on these forums. Secondly, yes, IW naturally shared information with Treyarch during the development of BO2.

I can't speak for David but I know he's stated publicly that the level of support for BO2 will be ongoing. If he's asking for videos I suspect there's a good reason for doing so.

Cheers,

The only problem with that is coming up with new arguments for the buffs. Unfortunately it's not as important what the users think, but rather what the "weapon balance team" thinks. They've repeatedly stated that they're happy with the current tuning, despite the user complaints. The devs buff them to their personal liking rather than the liking of the hundreds of thousands still playing.

So unless there's something up your sleeve that you haven't tried yet, we're probably stuck with them. That or hopefully there's some new people on the "team" that makes those decisions.

hey maccabi, did u try BF3? i am not mega skillah, but tried some SGs there recently and with Buckshot ammo and extended mag they re giving me easily K/D over 2.0

My apologies GHANDI.  I never meant to insinuate that you were bluffing or stalling.  I wrote that with a little bit of anger so it may have came across incorrectly.

I'm more upset that David is being somewhat dismissive, vis a vie, "no video = no issue".  I'm quite sure that IW and Treyarch, if not you and David personally had conversations regarding this matter.  I'm sure he's completely aware an issue exists because of those conversations.. so I'm expecting a bit more from him.  If he has reasons for videos, great... He should be more forthcoming with what kind of details he's looking at so we can get videos that he needs.

Anyhow, again I know this is not the correct thread so I'll post on this no further.  And I've said it before, I am greatful for all of the collaboration you have provided to your fan base.  I just hope that all of the data you have procured with MW3 will lead to greater success with your followup, whatever that may be.

Thanks GHANDI (and IW crew).
