Here's the Reality!!!

Posted by ruwal1979 on Jan 22, 2013 9:06 AM

There is only one real problem with this game: Connection Issues (Lag, Lag Comp)

 

All the other "problems" are really just opinions. This gun/perk/equipment is OP is all a matter of opinion. I think the game is fairly well balanced and it can be really fun to play when you get a reasonable connection. However, getting a reasonable connection doesn't happen for me very often. Even when everyone in the lobby is four bars, I still end up being a half of second to a full second behind in the majority of the matches (or at the very least a second behind a few players who could stomp me with a sewing needle because they seemingly enter god mode).

 

But you know what? Even with the horrible connection issues, I still really enjoy playing the game, even if it the connection issues do drive me nuts half the time. I've given up worrying about W/L and in some respect K/D since during many matches they are out of my control as I play lonewolf most of the time. I have some control over my K/D, but only because I quit matches very quickly if I realize I'm never going to get a kill because of the connection.

 

Do some other things bug me now and then. Sure they do. I dislike quickscoping and think it is probably way too easy in this game, but that is my opinion and very rarely will a quickscoper get the best of me over the course of a match. They bother me the same way long-range shotguns bother me, they one shot me and ruin my scorestreak without me having a fighting chance. On the other hand though, half of the time I ruin their scorestreak by outsmarting them (or in the case of shotguns, making sure to keep a distance). You really have to change your play style to match your opponents, instead of just complaining that their "setup" is OP because it makes your class less useful. For instance, I had three guys the other day camping away with 3 roit sheilds, trophy systems and a crap load of other equipment. I watched my teammates run at them over and over with run and gun classes, expecting to somehow have a different result than the first 5 times they ran at them. If you can't deal with a camper, either leave them to camp, or as I did is this case, pop out some emps and gernades and make them change to your play style or die repeatedly.

 

What I can't stand, is playing a smart game to be gunned down by someone because they see you a second before you see them. This is what really needs to be addressed!!!!

    all the more reason why they should drop the ridiculous mw3 moving style and get back on track with the Black Ops original fluidity of movement. Wont fix connection but would make things feel much better

    the real problem is people quitting games. I can't remember anytime in blackops where every game was 1-2 players left on the other team 2 minutes into the game.

    Couldn't have said it better, I agree 100%.

     

    Host disadvantage, host selection, matchmaking and most of all lag comp need fixing. I must see the host migration screen at least every other game I play.

        There has to be a way to make it better. It has gotten worse with each new title, this being the worst yet. Something, somehow for some reason.

    Here is the REAL reality.

     

    First of all the mods will probably delete this thread because its another repetitive post about lag comp issues. They say thay would rather see them added to an existing post than started with a NEW thread.

     

    Second reality, you bought the online portion of the game AS IS.

     

    Third reality they are not going to fix the lag issues. They can only tweak them and most likely they are already done tweaking them. The havent done it in 5 years so why would they start now ?

        First, you must be joking.

         

        Give it time, the moderators will surely lock the thread and tell you to post in an EXISTING thread. I have senn it happen many times over the past month or so. They are getting tired of seeing all the lag complaint threads keep popping up on here.

         

        Second, I bought a online game that was suppose to have competitive gameplay, not random deaths caused by lag comp system. If they had advertised that the game was going to have you a second behind the action 80% of the time, I wouldn't have bought it AS IS. And they could have given people that option if they didn't rush games and actually had an open beta.

         

        BF3 had an open beta and look at how bad that game is, rubber banding, hitmarkers not working , etc. They dont rush these games out. Each COD from each developer take TWO years to complete. I have some games that are bad lag but that just happens in the world of online gaming. You remember that part on the back of the box that says Activision reserves the right to remove or modify any online portion of the game at their whim ? They can cancel the online portion of this game at any time and there is nothing we can do about it.

         

        Third, the systems have changed greatly in the last five years. My connections were never this bad in previous games so something must have changed.

        Look at all the other forums you will see TONS of lag complaints. In MW3 there is a lag complaint thread that went on for a year and NOTHING was done about it. YOUR connections in the game may not have gotten better or worse but in general players are still suffering from lag issues. This games online code is still basically the same and players have been complaining for years about lag, since at LEAST WaW when I started on the forums.

         

        You didnt purchase the game. You dont own any portion of the game. all you own is the disk it came on. You bought a licence to use the software on Activisions terms. Read the back of the box and the inside Agreement you also should have read. we as players have NO rights to anything in this game.

         

        No boycott, no BlackOut dates , nothing any player has done has made this game any better. THAT is the reality

        a second behind the action 80% of the time?  sounds like you're complaining to treyarch about something they cant fix like your internet connection.  that statement would imply that 8/10 players are 1 second ahead of you?  seems like you're exaggerating quite a bit.  I think as a general rule the community needs to stop complaining about their poor game play and ability to adapt to a new game, and actually work on getting better.  i'm by no means an expert player, but my k/d on black ops 2 is very similar to all previous cod games... definitely not an outlier

    Have you ever thought of looking into what you could do about your connection configuration before making the 100th post about lag? I really don't have the issues you describe. I do have some minor lag but the same lag I have had for years. Have you tried to DMZ? Did wonders years ago for me.

        I agree with you. MW3 was garbage till they tweeked it now it's close to garbage. Blops 1 was better, WaW was a lot better and MW2 was good.

         

        Something has changed and needs to be put back. lol. I can still put blops 1 in and WaW and still play better cause the lag isn't there like it is in blops 2 or MW3.

         

        It's a fact. It's also funny casue when one person says they have no problems 10,000 say other wise. Sometimes the masses are correct.

         

        Just comparinug Blops 1 to blops 2 there is a HUGE difference.

    Locking. We do not need individual "I have proof of a bad game or instance of lag" threads. In my opinion they are also entirely unnescesary as we all know that anti-lag exists, has existed and will exist.

    Locking. Not only have we had many threads regarding this topic, we've also had a large amount of attempted explanations from users. At the end of the day, there are so many conflicting explanation of what is happening that it is best not to allow discussion of it due to the circular arguments.

    That enough proof for you ?
