1 Question for Treyarch to answer

Posted by robbierocket on Sep 17, 2012 2:53 AM

___________________________________________________________________

 

So, after all is said and presented about the upcoming release of Black Ops II...

 

- the exciting innovation of streaming and Esports, the competitive initiative of COD divisions, the creative and informed take on future warfare, the wonderful create-a-class points system and what will surely be a Treyarch classic of thoughtful maps and unmatched game balancing -

 

What can we expect regarding matchmaking and lag?:

 

- Is the matchmaking system the same as in BO?

- Has lag compensation been revised?

- Will hosting a match cause similiar scenarios to that in BO and MW3?

- Is there an option to use more time for a better match & will this filter work?

- Will my online experience (lag, hosting, parties) be more like MW2 or BO/MW3?

_____________________________________________________

 

After no response, I have reworked the questions and allowed for multiple choice answers.

 


- Has the matchmaking system been...?

- Has lag compensation been...?

- Has the scenario of hosting a match...?

- Has the search filter...?

- Has the functionality of lobbies (lag & connection to host, plus parties) been...?


A: left as it was B: looked at and discussed C: tweaked, revamped or redesigned

_______________________________________________________

 

After no response the 5 questions are now simplified into ONE QUESTION, multiple choice.

 

- Is the stance on matchmaking, lag, hosting, partying-up...?


A = Treyarch are supporting the community and advise towards optimising users connection for best results

B = Treyarch appreciate the functionality problems that some people have been experiencing and have investigated or had a look at the problems

C = Treyarch appreciate the functionality problems that people have been experiencing and have initiated some procedures or countermeasures to improve or go some way to resolving this problem for BOII.

    So, I can almost hear the tumbleweed (which I believe was briefly interupted by a post placed by a forumite, which was then removed).

     

    Did anyone at Treyarch read this?

     

    I'm pretty convinced a massive portion of the community of COD players, new and old, PS3 and X-Box, especially current PS3 COD players, would like some feedback here.

     

    Are the questions too abstract or challenging? Because there are other questions that could be fielded as a precursor to these ones - just to get things started.

    I know your asking about matchmaking, which I fully support by the way, could you add the HDD install that Robstang has been trying to get an answer for, he has been trying for 3 years now

    I assume that the questions at hand are not within their capabilities. That is obvious. Or they have no respect for the consumers, whether on Xbox or PS3. How difficult can it be to answer the "commom" mans questions about what makes online gaming possible? Either they have no repsect or integrity...Or they are taking up the old saying " Better to play dumb than tell a lie!"

    there wont be a hdd install option as that would be sonys place as that would require a firmware update. You need to ask sony to add install hdd option but i doubt they will allow it as we have been asking for install to hdd since cod4.

      Its not a firmware update, other games have install options,  Battlefield 3, Medal of Honor, Gran Toursimo 5, MLB The Show, Mass Effect 2 & 3, Resident Evil 5. Its a system that the developer has to put into the game, not Sony

    You bring up some good points. The sad part is we already know the answer. Which is no to everything. And good thing we already know because if we didn't we never would with how they go about getting back to people. Very offensive

    After editing the questions and adding multiple choice, I have now made just one combined question. I'm still hoping for a response.

    Good question(s) but maybe putting posing it in the PS3 forums is not the right place.

     

    Maybe going up a level into the tech support, or general discussions, is the place to put such a question?

    I'm not sure if you've noticed or not, but only 10% of people are still playing MW3. The numbers have dropped off dramatically over the last several months. Yesterday I saw the numbers just hovering 200k (204k) to be exact.

     

     

    I can assure you, with the amount of people giving up on MW3 being so staggering there's going be a very low tolerance for poor match making

      I barely play cod anymore because of the lag.  I can tell you I play a lot more battlefield because of cods lagginess.  (Did I get activisions attention now?)
