    The last one we lost (iirc) was in Mw2, on Wasteland.
    The whole team had OMA DC Noobtubes/Claymores.

    It ended up going to sudden death, and they let off like 3 harriers, few pavelows and preds. Nothing we could do :mad:

    Oh yeah that one! That was a truly terrible match to be in.

    I should have added, I meant the last one I've lost with boardsies. On my own I'm sure I have a few though I only have played once on my own in BO. That last 10 seconds and we won :pac:

    so im playing with the lads here

    It actually seems a bit better tbh. went 18-0 there, bullets seem to be registering a little better, may be some truth in it. The game is saying that my Nat type is strict, anyone got an open nat? mines was fine on mw2 for joining parties.

    Only got the game today as i was working all week.. I like it but the amount of server disconnects are mental.... I'm on a 15MB line and on MW2 may 1 game in 20 would disconnect.. MAYBE... but this is 7or 8 out of 10 are dissconnecting. I'm on PS3.... very annoying

    Happened to me 4 or 5 times!!:mad: Needs a patch. Love saying that!:p

    Been playing for the last hour and didn't get to finish a game through disconnections,absolute ****e!!!was playing FFA and got first blood in nearly every game because straight away someone ran across on front of me,if they can't even get the first spawn points right what hope is there of fixing it??I've been changing my mind constantly about liking this game but I'm settling on it being a disaster,looks ****e,sounds ****e,plays ****e,for all it's faults mw2 always had a bit of excitement whereas this just simply doesn't.the only thing it has going for it is the lack of everything that ruined mw2,if infinity ward made the game and treyarch made the rules I think we could have the perfect game,

    I started a game of TDM on Grid with over 12 kills within the first minute of the match starting. After the game went to add to my file share only to find that the bloody Thetre Mode didn't record it, i was pissed to say the least.

    finally got that video

    have a look at this

    1st game tonight I paired up with Remi on Summit playing TDM. I literally tore the other team a new one. Went somewhere around 35(have to check) without dying and bham host migration fail with 2500 points left for us to get and a chopper gunner still not used!

    I think Remi knew how pissed off I was.

    Still played very well after that match with more of the lads but very frustrating nonetheless thinking about it.

    As for 3D in this game, I might as well wear a pair of shades. No real effect apart from an overall darkening of the screen, rendering distant enemies invisible.


  • Posts: 19,923 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    stupid COD! I was 20-1 after getting the sniper perfectionist challenge and dogs in a care pack and the host leaves so there's absolutely no record of it ever happening. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

    No need to be so smart about it.I'm entitled to my opinion. Just because you post a few videos on YouTube doesn't make yours more relevant.

    It was the component cable that did it for me .

    Cheap shot.

    Off topic rant here. Laptop ****ing broke last night :( Atm I cant record any gameplay :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,881 ✭✭✭mle1324


    Is it me or does it really sometimes take up to 9 shots with the M16 to kill someone ?:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,721 ✭✭✭Kells...


    Possibly it does take 9 shots especially with the lag

    If the full burst doesn't land, or you're hitting legs/hands (I assume chest shots do more damage than leg/arm shots), then 9 shots could be possible.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,881 ✭✭✭mle1324


    I even find it odd that they feel the M16 should be 3rd burst as the real one was full :/

    Have the makers of the game released any statements about the lag issues ?


  • Posts: 3,598 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I can go around the whole lot of a medium sized map with an RC-XD!
    What's the point? Make it have a shorter time frame.
    Oh and having to buy Pro versions of a perk is frustrating.....

    I don't think there was ever as much camping in MW2 as I came across last night. It was beyond ridiculous with people lying prone near doors/corners or sitting up behind high cover and just waiting for some poor sap to walk into their line of fire. Perhaps a symptom of 'more balanced' weapons and more difficult to get killstreaks?

    Also, am I the only one to notice far more dropshotting in BO than in MW2?

    I find in tdm there are far more campers hiding indoors or in bushes.
    I think if they did a time limit on killstreaks e.g 1 minute to get from killstreak 3 to 5 , in otherwords get up off your ar$e and get the kills.

    Dropshotting is far more common in BO's than in mw2

    Edit: You can nearly guess the campers on the leaderboards by their k/d and points per minute.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,721 ✭✭✭Kells...


    Yes theres a lot more dropshotting


  • Posts: 3,620 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Does any one else have a problem with stuttering performance and jerky gameplay on the xbox?
    Everytime it has happened I seem to have been host. It's at the point of being unplayable at times.:mad:

    Personally, I think the camping is primarily a result of the maps, rather than the weapons/killstreaks. They're just too busy, MW and to a lesser extent WAW were fairly linear and a good player would find it pretty easy to guess where an ambush might happen, with this game you're stuck in fairly complex, dense environments and tearing around the map like in MW is going to result in your death. I'd describe myself as a rush style player and even I'm slowing to crawl and being very weary in these maps.

    Massively, absolutely massively disagree with that at least in my experience so far. I have had one guy dropshot me and I have dropshot 2 or 3 people but other than that. I have seen nothing, zilch people dropshotting.

    _____________

    On a different note

    Just thinking about it earlier. But after I returned from YLOD, I really struggled to build killstreaks. Anyone who has played with me regularly, might have noticed that despite my stats I very rarely got a chopper gunner or ac130. Part of the reason is I usually rocked 3-4-5, 3-7-9 and 3-5-9 set up a lot but when I went for the big ones I just failed. It should be easier in MW2.

    But in BO I pick up high killstreaks fairly easily. Kind of frustrating looking back at my time on MW2 considering everything.

    Personally speaking, I've gone back to COD4 mode(ie: run n gun) playing BO and it's served me very well as some of the lads will tell you.
