    Hate the way if you have say uav/hunter/package and get a second set of streaks without having used the first you only get one care package, I earned the second one ffs let me have it.

    That wreckes my head. Constantly happens too as that streak set up runs well into each other

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

    I understand your point but I'd say 24 hours after they'd implement that you'ld probably have four people playing online. The randomness of the gameplay/connection/hit detection or whatever it is, is just bizzare.

    Most people are not leaving just because they are getting killed. People are leaving because their connection in that game is horrendous. I played 2 games there and had to turn the Xbox off. Between people teleporting around on a 3 bar and my screen skipping every 10 or 15 steps. Do you expect people to play in those types of games?
    Until we get dedicated severs.....until everyone is on the same playing field, people are always going to leave games. The connection is this game is ****e.

    Game is playing as designed, or the developers are ignoring the obvious.

    If you think its bad have a look at these. It’s far worse than most people think.

    He used some network emulation for this. It may not have been 100% but clearly shows the errors and delays in the netcode. Far far to much for a twitch shooter.



    3arc and activision have ben trying to blame local connections (your connection) for the in game lag. Video below dispels that idea.

    That's not true, it's the exact same, probably better due to the fact you can search for best connection than in other CODs where it put you in a random game. The majority of these host migrations happen in the first minute of a game where B is captured and one team take control. That's when the kill whores realise it's not going to be their type of game and head off. It's been a problem since COD 4 and has nothing to do with connection, just people who can't take a loss and will blame everything under the sky to disguise that.

    You see it far less when there's a team playing, how do you explain that if it's connection? It's just people who get everything they want being unable to take a beating.

    That's not to say however that hit detection shouldn't be improved, I've been beating that drum for years but there must be nothing they can do about it, especially when people like me are still running around on 3mb and less connection.

    I run care package, throw down marker wait for it to arrive all good so far, it drops, SWARM woo hoo I think, go over to claim it and the f*cking thing launches itself into the stratosphere and just vanishes way off the map, to say I was p*ssed would be putting it mildly!

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


    Ugh, getting sick of being lobbed into games where the team you're on is being annihilated, just landed in a domination game losing 47-160 and the top scorer on my team was 7-25, with an enemy lodestar bombarding the map, fuuuuuck that.

    Playin a game of hardcore search & destroy a while ago.

    Anyway our team goes 3-2 down and i get killed in the last round so i watching the others and it come down to 1 v 1.

    The guy on our team ends up killing the other guy and runs for the bomb which has already been armed.

    Once he reaches it he the starts shooting at the bomb for the next 45 seconds and when he runs out of ammo starts spinning around in circles before BOOM

    Defeat. WTF like

    Sounds like you got yourself a classic case of boosting! Either that or he's just a fúcking retard.

    The worst Call of Duty games I've ever played in terms of multiplayer. The guns giving to you for the first 30 ranks are absolute crap, an entire 30 round mag to kill someone, brutal accuracy/recoil. I also thought that the delayed reaction stuff was done away with cos a lot of kills against me look different when viewing the kill cams. It's been awhile since I played the first Black Ops but I do vaguely remember the same poor online experience except this time it's worse. There is only one or two maps I can think of that are alright, the one on the white boat and the other is one set in the cayman islands at night. The rest are muck.

    Zombies isn't too bad and either is the campaign, or tbh the campaign is actually decent as usual with most COD games. Wasn't too keen on the strike force missions though.

    Over all the Modern Warfare series is and always has been better for online gaming !


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


    ^ ah now the PDW is one of the best guns in the game, mows people down and you get it straight away, its my most used gun


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


    Has a pretty large mag as well if I remember right

    50 in the clip, stick on fmj and fast mag and its a beast of a thing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,207 ✭✭✭miralize


    I enjoy every SMG, most of the assault rifles and the starting shotgun is beast..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 190 ✭✭Ould Mr Brennan


    Im a PDW man myself. I was using the Vector and prestiged it once but the recoil off it is unreal and the forge grip doesnt do a thing for it.
