    If any of those hit the xbox I can see people raging about some of them. such as the reduced range on the sg that it can get one shot kills.

     

    and for the snipers taht even with the laser they still get increased hip fire spread now. will make the QSers unhappy about that.

     

    the smg crowd will be really unhappy because of how the smgs got the worst of the nerfs it seems.

     

    So yep, these forums will soon see lots of more rage posts and very few thank you posts if this happens on the xbox.

      I'll start out.  Thanks Treyarch for making the game more balanced and addressing the issues.

       

      I say that honestly. Yeah some things I may not like because they may nerf the gun I am using, but if it makes for a more balanced game and makes it so it can be fair/accurate for all users then I'm all for the change.

       

      You are right in that there will probably be a bunch of rage posts, but Treyarch happens to be the ones with the most (aka ALL) of the data and they can analyze the data. The numbers aren't going to lie.  Let's just hope they make the correct analysis of the numbers and make some good balance changes.

      Putting in more hip fire spread wont matter really, because most people dont hipfire to often. It won't affect me because i  will usually just quick scope them in my face rather than noscope or barrel stuff them. If i do noScope its usually by accident or a basically a panick shot. I can see that getting a little annoying for semi automatic snipers though, but hey its a game and people will always be able to overcome and conquer things.

        That would be great if they dropped it by Saturday.  I have shelfed the game until more HC games were added.  Maybe this will get me playing again.

    This patch seems great!

     

    Don't get the UAV whinage thou, just shoot the buggers down and collect your points from them. But I don't mind it needing more points to use. Seems like a good call.

     

    And nice nerfs to SMG's, buffs and nerfs for AR's and good to see Snipers are getting more hampered in close ranges. Pistols are really strong guns in this game, so I think it was ok to take the headshot multiplier away. They still kill pretty fast without it.

     

    Only thing that is missing in this patch, is the "revenge spawn" system fix. I don't understand why this system is in the game in the first place.

    • PerEverto13 Expert 1,886 posts since
      Nov 23, 2012

      Yeah the revenge system is a bit annoying. Also was hoping to see match making lose the skill based in everything but leauge play...but hopefully treyarch is working on it and will be in next patch...

        Let's hope. I mean I might be pissed off at some player, but I don't want to be able to respawn right next to him and blow him up before he knows what hit him.

         

        It really sucks because you CAN'T expect someone to attack you like that. It's impossible to know where they are comming from really.

          Yeah i have killed a guy on hijacked then rush into where his teams spawn, once rounding the corner my team began to spawn there so i turned around. Suddenly a enemy spawned with my team under that little covered area on the bow of the boat and walked out with a clean line of sight on me as i turned around. I mean its just insane sometimes...

          It would just be nice to not be kn try hard mode ALL the time. If i wanted such a high level of competition i would do league play. Even just diminishing the importance of it and increasing the priority for connections first then skill level as a seconday factor. Just needs something different...

          You have got to be joking - this is probably the biggest cause of laggy games! Ping should be the only factor - skill based games are already catered for in league.

    A very nice list of adjustment, all things I wanted wanted to see. Guess the Black Box monitoring is working out. Finally people have a reason to use other weapons besides the SMGs.

    all those fixes and none of them are anything I care about. Where is ~1 second increase in time you can stand still with Ghost?

    Where is the recalibration/removal of lag compensation?

      I can tell you right now that it's unlikely they will patching any connection related aspects until after xmas. This is simply because the player population experiences another boom during late december, this new wave bolsters the playerbase which will actually  improve matchmaking purely on its own. Plus people play a hell of a lot more during xmas holidays providing the most round the clock juicy data to help tweak the code. This is why proper tweaking will likely only occur after this period since all the eggs have filled the basket by that point. It's the same with many other big titles. Expect the patch sometime in January.

          It's definitley preferrable  they make the adjustments post xmas (for the reasons mentioned) because it would allow for a truer, more encapsulating improvement in the long term. To  address it now would be premature and therefore more likely to be unsatisfactory, elongating the pain deeper into next year as well as wasting an authorised patch opportunity from the powers that be.

          Might as well concetrate on going out and getting smashed over this month to help cope with any crappy online experience.

    I still think the SMGs will still rule. The map design and CQC on a lot of map is made for SMG battles. If the recoil of the SMGs will be sufficient enough, then we will see an increase use of the Assault rifles.

    If these changes do in fact make it to the Xbox (not holding my breath) as long as we get HCKC...I can totally overlook any of the other changes I don't agree with!

    Still need adjustments to League Play score when rental players on your side drop out.  The loss should be less lossy and the penalty to those exiting the game should be lossy more so.

    BS that the SMGs can penetrate better than the LMGs.

    So, I get the Remington gold in the first week, never use it again because I want to get other guns gold, and now it's going to be reduced to crap like the S12, and I won't get a chance to go on a week-straight bender with the Remington like everyone else I play against does? Damnit.

      I'm in the exact same boat.  Ifinished the KSG and am using the weak S12 and M1216 just to get diamond for my R870, which I now won't use as much.

       

      The more I think about it, If they are "decreasing the one hit kill range", then maybe, just maybe, the damage profile at longer range will stay the same, but the damage at the end of the range desperately needs to be buffed.  If I have time to hit you three or four times with a pump action shotgun, you deserve to die. If I had any other gun in the game, including a semi auto pistol, you would have been dead long before the thrid shell was chambered.

       

      And what is with breaking the B23 and Tac45?  No headshot damage bonus?  That's ridiculous.

       

      I have long hoped for a TKO rule on pump actions.  Three hits in a short time and you die, no matter the actual damage done.

    No response to the lag issues, what a shocker. I remember MW3 admitted a month after release there were conenction issues and began patching, eventually it started to smooth out. BO1 they never admitted it and with BO2 they still wont admit it. GG.

      IW could not avoid admitting to problems because we were all clearly playing against people in far flung corners of the planet, plainly something was wrong with the matchmaking and it was the disasterous and retarded geolocation system which damaged playability for most of the games lifecycle for many. Also parties were suffering under a rediculous "averaging" of  ping system. That is why IW were forced to admit there was connectivity problems (which were derived from the matchmaking and party system). BO2s problems are different and it should hopefully be fixable for most.

    Considering the high rate of fire and high damage of the SMGs compared to ARs and LMGs I think they should go further and reduce range and damage too.

     

    Ping based (and only ping) matchmaking should really be the no.1 priority though. It's so poor right now it results in horrendously lopsided lobbies where foreign players are given god mode while the host goes negative regardless of ability and then rage quits resulting in the most host migrations ever seen in a COD game - despite the threat of probation. This should tell Treyarch everything they need to know about the matchmaking and lag comp situation as it stands.

    I haven't seen this posted anywhere and I didn't want to create a 2 post thread..... But has anyone used the Tomahawk? Maybe its just me, but It seems slower than it did in Bops1.  Feels like there is a slight delay when throwing it that makes it completely unusable. Needs fixed. Also, If you are in melee range, the tomahawk should automatically hit imo.

      If they never fixed it in blops 1, and ignored it over and over again just like there doing now why would you belive that they would even fix this game? They had 2 years to fix the lag, yet this game came out worse than blops 1. I have no faith in treyarch what so ever. A company that adjusts the game before actually fixing the lag is stupid. For all we know smgs may only seem overpowered because of the huge lag compensation this game has. The main issue is lag, and treyarch never plans to fix it. COD has made them millions every year, yet there are still no dedicated servers. Shows how much they care!

      After prestiging, you have a reward optino that gives you an extra custom class (classes 6 - 10, earned 1 prestige at a time).

       

      Prior to the patch, you were only able to copy classes 6-10 to classes 1 -5.  You were unable to copy from classes 1-5 to classes 6-10.

       

      This is apparently fixed.
