    are folk old enough to know better actually playing this sh!te?! like, over 15. thought about creating a separate account to save myself the embarrassment of being caught playing B.O.; but then thoughts cross my mind of a 'firing range' to name but one.. n like so many times i didn't even break the disc out. fcukload of wonga these guys are making on a dependable build not being availed of. indeed sabotaged now, it seems. the series is bloated, weary, meandering and confused and not knowing which direction to take. much like our hero in the campaign. the comical maps are another obvious indicator, but when you see lack of effort in audio / hit detection / balancing.. crazy megarich bastards know they're at the point where they can release anything based on that engine combined with the series success, as seen with the worst yet / fastest selling yet. and we'll still pay, if even not to play.

    i've clipped off a few friends for repeatedly switching on their machine to play essentially only B.O. - actual friends; i'm mortified. god bless the prestigers. i salute you

    i remember being called a hacker on waw as i was 10th prestige
    I was called a hacker in Black Ops for having 29-6 K/D in a TDM :eek: What a way to rain on my parade, I thought I was doing quite well (although, the guy who accused me ended up shooting half a round of an assault rifle around my character :D)

    I don't suppose anyone could explain to me why everyone I meet (haven't been on the Boards server in a while, my Favourites list doesn't seem to work right) seems to be under the belief that hackers are always the reason why they lose? Some player has a good K-D ratio and he's immediately labelled a hacker because his/her team won - maybe I'm just not wise in the ways of the hacker, but surely they would have a near-perfect (if not perfect) score, through the use of their hacks?

    And people who only do melee attacks with Ballistic Knives are irritating. I don't see them often, but it really does my head in - I wish the knife lunge range wasn't so damn high.
    At least I made an effort to hit someone with the projectile >.>

    EDIT: Shooting people through walls, it would seem, is also regarded as hacking... /facepalm
    I guess we can now identify hackers by seeing if they have Hardened Pro :P

    Hmm I've taken my crappy FIFA Club form into COD. Wonderful

    Oh and for the 583848901 time, nerf the 74u or make the other SMG's stronger for godness sake.

    _______

    2nd game of the day, frozen.

    Someone's testing my patience today lol.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,692 ✭✭✭GEasy


    ^^

    Don't fret bud. . Played two games of COD after that. Both TDMs and came into the games when the other team were on 7000 points or so.

    Went 2-4 on both iirc.

    Since someone has sand in their vagina in another thread, I thought I'd repost this here.



    This was uploaded to the Frag of the Month but, as I was watching it, it stopped at the headshot and I had a close look. I know we all get pissed off in COD games when you're around a corner and somehow still die but that is a very strange kill.

    Heres the shot. No way it should have hit.


    Same thing really. Think its a lag, maybe **** hitboxes.

    Its ****e. Have looked at loads of replays were I had run behind cover and still been killed.

    It is lag, cause the way the game is set up anything that happens be it from you or anyone else in the game runs from your xbox, over the net to the host and then back to your xbox to show the result.

    He shoots you, his xbox calculates the hit box damage and sends that to your connection, your connection registers that as a kill and sends to him. If there is lag or latency the game is set so that it will continue the last performed action until the "exchange" is completed and hits registered.
    Its very normal but on blops it seems to be extreme.

    MW2 was set up a similar way but you mostly would only see it on kill cams seeing as the action was slowed down. eg, spaz a running target and by the time the blood spatters you have gone from direct in front to right by his side circling him.
    Seeing as its linking most folks with local peers one can only assume its not latency but lag caused by ether strict packet monitoring or crappy routing.

    I'm really ****ing pissed off with this piece of **** game, team members quitting as soon as they start loosing a match, constant server disconnections, terrible lag.

    How can they go from MW2 to Black Ops? It's three steps backwards, ****ing Treyarch not being able to put a proper game out. Hopefully MW3 is as good as MW2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,516 ✭✭✭Hoki


    Im finding that i literally have to switch off my Ps3 at least twice every few hours because Bops is causing the screen to freeze , its so annoying . Also sending messages to people - its so slow that i barely bother anymore . And just now iv tried replying to a message twice but both times it just froze my ps3 again , its chronic ffs.

    Aye hopefully it will. I miss rolling with Noob tubes, OMA, Danger Close and Commando or camping in a corner with HBS to get precious killstreaks in the hope of getting my nooooke while screaming yes, yessssssss hahahahah I got it, I got my NOOK, yessssssssssssssssssss!.

    Hopefully I'll be reunited with that stuff in MW3.

    I think it's because it doesn't directly kill anyone, like the flamethrower, nade launcher or masterkey can.

    Still, the fact that warlord's description describes it is... meh...

    As much as I love warlord, it has far too many exceptions:
    codwikia wrote:
    Warlord is unusable when the player has an underbarrel attachment - Masterkey, Grenade launcher and the Flamethrower - equipped.
    Only one sight can be used.
    Magazine related combinations (Dual Mag and Extended Mags) are prohibited.
    Dual Wield cannot be used with Rapid Fire or Grip attachments.
    Rapid Fire is unusable with Extended Mags.
    ...
    As of the latest patch, silenced sniper rifles are one shot kills to the head and neck. However, snipers used in conjunction with Warlord and a silencer are not one hit kills to any part of the body.

    Eh, I'll stick with SoH, I love that perk. You're right though, there is a lot of exceptions with Warlord.

    Im going to post one huge ****ing post about MW2 here so be prepared


    Ok we all know MW2 was ****ing **** because of the unblanced weapons and perk combinations and many **** expolits that all came out so soon, the fact of the matter is IW had no team to fix all this, dont know if you heard but over 70% of their team left to EA games because the top two developers were fired because they refused their pay from activision, so with less than half the team there it was near impossible for people to patch most the stuff, n00b tubes were ****ing annoying as was boosting and dangerclosing, along with scripts left in the game also like the script for the Spinning Skull Coin emblem everyone tried to get and couldnt because it wasnt supposed to be in the game, there was an acievement for 150 in the No russian mission which wasnt taken out but eventually was patched, people bitch and moan over how MW2 was so broken and ****ty and I agree, but you have to hand it to them, they made a kick ass campaign a multiplayer with great potential but as always it was ****ed up, with barely any of a development team left it was impossible for them to fix half the stuff they apparently had only 40 people working on the coding for the care package glitch ontop of making the map packs and the scripts to stop cage match boosting, so one thing, before you bitch slap the name of Infinity Ward just remember, they have it hard too, dont call them lazy because they arent, with a small team its impossible for patches to come out quickly because the patches have to be approved by Activision and sent to Microsoft which in itself takes weeks to do, so no IW arent lazy they had problems, they have great games, if you compare IW to a football match imagine a manager sending all of his players off and leaving 3 players on, whats gonna happen 3 vs 11 (dont watch football) they will be slaughtered and people will hate the 3 players, but know what, those three players tried their best but were screwed over just like IW, thanks for reading, and next time you bad mouth IW ill ask, you and 39 friends go make a multiplayer game for about 3 million and make it perfect in one month

    Paragraphs dude.

    Despite all that, MW2 is still more fun than Blops :pac:
