    I hate turbine, so so much, worst map in the game by far. best (imo) are nuketown, cargo, standoff, hijacked on some games and slums. Aftermath can suck my balls, its just Hardhat

    Ive got about 7hours playtime (not a lot i know but ive matured a bit :P) but I haven't play on nuketown once....dying to play on it, is there a certain game mode that it usually works on???

    BTW standoff is a good map.....best of a bad bunch id say..... haven't seen a good map since COD4/MW2 days

    Jump into Bonus -> Chaos Moshpit. Nuketown comes up a lot and tends to get all the votes and replayed in particular for high point games (Hardpoint, Kill Confirmed etc)

    Standoff is a great map, I really hope the DLC is decent cos I'm withered from playing on a handful of maps I enjoy, the rest are a chore.

    The game is slowly but surely being ruined by quick scoping. Zero recoil when you're getting hit? Wtf?? They need to nurf the **** out of the snipers and the fal.
    Most of the lobbies I played today are full of tossers trying to do 360s. Waste of time.
    Can I just ask how you came to this conclusion? Don't see why anyone would have a problem with something that can be done much easier with a shotgun, much harder to use a sniper than any other gun in the game.

    As it has been from the start the biggest problem is the lack of consequences for people leaving. Even experienced players throw a hissy fit and leave when they die a couple of times. You should be demoted a level if you leave more than 2 games a day imo. (Only making allowance for connections)

    Standoff, Slums, Cargo and Hijacked(sometimes) are my favourite. Raid is decent for domination. Overflow is ok for hardpoint and demolition. Aftermath and Drone can suck my balls. Don't like Express either, but don't hate it as much as the other 2. Plaza is ****e too...although trying to capture the B flag can be good craic.

    Haven't played Nuketown, was too lazy to pre-order.

    Have you tried the shotguns? They're useless. There's one sniper rifle that's a joke altogether....you can just spam the **** out of it. The sniping is too easy hence Tdm is packed with clowns trying to so 360s.

    How can you make allowances for connections? I mean if I'm in a game, and I get killed 5 or 6 times in a row with the killcam showing no bullets have left my gun. I'm supposed to stay in that game? No thanks.

    The shotguns are not useless, to say that they are is ridiculous, if anything the range is too far on them. The KSG or whatever it's called have such a long range it's ridiculous.

    So is your problem people spamming snipers or 360s? Because you can't do both. Yet to see one person even attempt a 360 myself. Have you ever used a sniper? They are easily the hardest guns to control in the game and the only ones that you actually have to aim properly. To say they should be weakened is ridiculous. The semi auto ones are 2 bullet kills which is quite difficult with a sniper and considering a lot of people don't change their sensitivity ever for the majority it's nigh on impossible to do well at it.

    Honestly, I just couldn't be arsed arguing with you. This is the thread for people to give about certain things in the game. That's what I'm doing. You're untitled to your opinion.

    Fair enough. People who give out about snipers being overpowered just because they get killed by them annoys me.

    Saying that they're the hardest gun to use isn't saying much to be honest. There's a reason that so many players are using them. Snipers were rare in BLOPs owing to the fact that we're genuinely difficult to use and you certainly weren't going to find fellas running around quickscoping.

    PSG1 camping on the crane in Array ah we had good times :)

    First time I've noticed it, playing carrier dom last night someone on other team was running ballistic knife and the cross screen lunge has def not gone away that's for sure, he wasat far end of screen started runnig at me then lunged with knife and got me even with me pumping bullets into him! :mad::mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    Id actually say that knifing is too hard now. Sometimes standing right behind someone and you knife arseways at them, miss and die as a result. I have seen a couple of commando type lunges but they are few and far between so in that respect Im happy enough.

    I tried knife only for a while last night, was good craic depending on the map

    P.S, X is a welcher!!

    I've given up trying to knife people in the back instead of just shooting them, after about the fifth time I ran into a room and saw an easy knife target, missed and they turned and shot me I just said I'd save face and riddle them with bullets instead :pac:

    Unless you're in hardcore. In which case you develop a hatred for those sniping bastards. Snipers are just a bit overpowered in that mode.

    I always play hardcore and the lack of game modes suck. At least in black ops there was an option for headquarters.

    All the guns are overpowered in hardcore, I always felt that's the whole point of it.

    Do away with your secondary weapon..then when in game play switch to secondary for the knife. Alot faster lunging..this is also the same if you have ballistic knife..i think its great that everytime you meet someone around a corner you dont get panicked knifed like MW3..sticks&stones is a great game when ballistic knife is equipped..looks like your have some weird looking icepicks when you stab the other players, and is a hell of a lot faster than having a crossbow/prary weapon equipped..

    I feel people are overpowered in core. I played it last night and it felt like I was playing against Level 20 zombies :) It was taking half a clip to kill some people.


    Very few guns are one shot kill in HC. But sniper rifles all are.

    Em, is that not the point? That's what they are. ARs are far quicker aim weapons and in HC it onky takes 2 or 3 bullets for a kill with them or an SMG, don't see why snipers shouldn't be one shot kills?

    Connection was just bad today , finished second in nearly all close quaters fights . I kept jumping between 3 and 4 bars every few seconds and it did my head in .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,609 ✭✭✭Creasy_bear


    1st game on. Slums Tdm. Get 6 kills in the first 40s I'd say. Host migration. 4 people on their team leave the game.

    Exit game, turn off xbox


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 645 ✭✭✭Liam90


    I got a swarm in a care package and before i could collect it a guy on my team who had engineer turned it into a guardian. This really pissed me off because a care package is my only chance of getting one.

    Sickener...!!! But there is a funny side too :)

    Is it like this for everyone? My connection wasn't too bad up to a few days ago, now it's all over the place, as you said keeps jumping between 3-4 bars and it seems like it takes ages to kill someone now, I'm on Eircom BB if that makes a difference.

    Agreed, 9 times out of 10 in Core snipers are one shot kill anyway (2 max), thats why they're sniper rifles. The disadvantage is they should be useless from close range, quickscoping is the real problem. "Camping" is just using a sniper rifle they it was intended.

    Have had a pretty bad connection on Eircom for the last couple of days on the PS3. Last night wasn't too bad, but Monday was terrible.


  • Posts: 19,923 [Deleted User]


    Every game today had a host migration. All that's needed is something preventing people leaving just because they are getting killed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Loads of migrations this evening too, its a pain in the hole, not so much when the game resumes when it times out and you get hoofed back to the main screen its irritating, and its always when you're doing well.
