Hey Pauly01 I see you added me last night and i tried in vain to allie up for a match but fo wht ever reason (i presume something they need to patch still) I could not get in to a lobby with you maybe you were with the OFC guys and girls!

Its strange to see so many mixed reactions to this game it really has divided opinion its a love hate thing like marmite! i think those who hate it are due to connection, lag and framerate issues and I hope for those people they are behind the scenes tryng t solve the problem, however I don't think i could go as far as frying my coppy and wasting £40 when you can stil play the sp and spec ops off line! rather then the multiplayer and i'm sure this game will still be patched, they continued to patch blops up to May so that gives us 6 months at least.

If you are looking to leave OFC then i'm sure there are a few people on here happy to play some TDM or domination, kill confirmed etc, we may improve your stats for you

Its also interesting to hear peoples thoughts on map lay outs as i was thinking over past games as why peoplethink they are better, someone even said they are too flat? bit confused as Bakara is on a hill as you look down to the crashed chopper, hard hat has tunnels and stairs, seatown has multiple layers as does under ground to name just a few! i think the maps may have a lot going on as some blackops had large areas without much i forget the name of the map but it was the snowy one with the big rader and tower you climb!

I think the extra content helps hide you and allows you to sneek up on people and from what i have seen there are not too many places for people to camp well i have not com up against them and if i have they get a concussion grenade that soon sorts them out! I ope you can continue to grow and like the game, like i say why it works for some and not others is very strange even here on our little ireland the playing experience is so different and we have similar download and upload speed from our ISP and not a million miles away at maximum 200 it's not like I ping over to moscow!

maybe ping rate is an issue for you and as you play a lot with OFC who are in the states you are a few seconds behind them as your connection has to travel akot further then it may between themselves!

Try and ping test web site to se how yur isp rates! i also think they this new inclusion NAT type has something to do with te problems, we never had it incuded in other titles and it determines who we are matched against  think as i'm strict I play alot closer to home including europe so my experience is better? I just hope those tech guys have a handle on this and will help as i am sure they dont want this game to fail!

A last point i do not think IGN review helped this game they rated it 4.5/10! due to isses such as hit markers an FPS being half the Xbox and no elite content, why give the game o someone who obviously never plays wii and then tries to compare it to ps360! they need people like wii gamers reviewing wii games and they should have waited a few months knowing there will be fixes.  I'm sure we will see the numbers on line improve after xmas when kids etc open this on xmas morning.

Give us a shout will be online over the weekend also send me your FC for blops as from time to time i will jump back and see myself how this compares.
