    I've just about had it now with the game,the game is so broken its easy to fall into the false belief that the game is riddled with modders and hackers.Roll on Dragon age 2 and I'm gonna dump this game before my blood pressure goes through the roof.

    Has anybody else noticed an improvment since the DLC was released?

    Improvement in what, or just in general?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Sorry, meant to say improvment in the match making.
    I'm finding shorter waiting times and less interruptions.

    Have to say now that you've mentioned it... I did notice that finding a game took mere seconds with the new patch. Never really had huge problems with it I do think its been working better for me anyway

    Still loosing connection to host, crashing etc at the same rate thou.

    I never really experienced any problems in the first place to be honest.

    Ah right, I haven't encountered that just yet but I'll hold off counting my blessings for now.

    I have been getting a lot of lag today,it hasn't froze on me in a month or two now.But today was bad i turned it off i was so pissed off with it.

    LMAO 113 pages of people complaining about COD BO :D and fully deserved.
    I play it on the PC, I only play it as thats what everyone else in the clan i'm a member of is playing it.
    Can't believe we've all fallen for it again. This is basically a 4 yr old game, they re-release it every yr with a few 'tweaks' and a new name, and we all rush out in our billions to buy it. The latest news is from a tweet from 1 of the Infinity Ward boys that states MW3 will also use the same 5 yr old game engine, and that building a new engine for the game would be 'counter productive'. In other words, why would we want to build a new game engine when you lot keep buying the old one :rolleyes:
    Roll on Battlefield 3.

    Considering a spy planes 3 kills, I think having the idea of having a blackbird at 10 is a bit much. It can be rendered pretty much useless if somebody has a counter spy plane which is half the kills but a lot of people dont like running this team one.

    Right.... i think i've had enough of CoD... dont think i can stomach playing another session of it (Any of them). Its nothing in the actual game that bugs me... just the entire CoD concept... its just... well... boring.

    Time to get playing some SP games i think....

    I always carry a strela as my secondary, any spy-planes or counter uavs are knocked out of the sky almost immediately. Blackbirds are immune and have a huge tactical advantage over the other two. I'd almost consider the other two worthless choices if you're playing against a good team.

    So then youre almost always outdoors and free of any enemy then? Convenient. Basically any killstreak that can be shot down is pretty worthless by your definition but its not really since the enemy is having to deal with it for starters. I play merc and both the spy plane and counter are good value and better team streaks than say an RC-XD.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,178 ✭✭✭hypermuse


    Always have a counter spy plane in your killstreaks!!

    If the enemy puts up a blackbird.. your FUUUCKED!! counter spy plane.. mwahahaha!! :p

    A counter spy plane at any time I feel gives your team a huge advantage as they have to play with out their map.. which for me, imo, gives you a huge advantage.

    it also means they cant use napalms or B-52's.. or.. well they shouldnt but you do get some retards!! :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,051 ✭✭✭jimbling


    IMO, Counter Spy plane is actually one of the most overpowered kill streaks there is.
    If it just "countered" spy plane then it would be fine, but it doesn't. It counters a hell of a lot more.

    I've never played in a party, but if I did I would be making sure at least 3/4 people are running Counter Spy plane. Makes life hell for the opposing team. For the life of me I cant figure out why more teams don't use it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 191 ✭✭JustPaddy1


    They should bring in a counter counter spy plane. But then they'd have to bring in a counter counter counter spy plane, then thing just start to get messy. :D

    Already there, it's called a Strela 3 :p

    But still. What I mean is that the Counter Spy Plane is too powerful. It shouldn't block out the map... it should just stop a Spy Plane from working.

    Its true, it is an extremely powerful killstreak if people used it. But thing is that it can be easily be taken out.


    If I'm playing against a party and there are alot of counterspy planes going up against me I cant stand it.. have to put on ghost n whip out the strela!! problem solved... but then you are left vulnerable and not contributing directly to the objective... which if anything adds to the power of the counter spy plane!

    Simples, it doesn't give them, as an individual, any personal gain (i.e better their KD ratio). Most people who don't play in a party are just in it for themselves!! they dont care if a counter spy plane benefits the team..

    Its the same retards that equip a RC-XD instead of a spy plane.. a spy plane can help contribute to multiple kills for the team, whereas a RC-XD mite get you 1 kill!!

    I have ordered Arkham Asylum online from Play.com for 13e.

    I'm gonna play that until friends come online in Black Ops from now on.


    I played a game of Dom last night with randomers and I got 9 caps and we won. Out of the other 5 "players" on my team, one got 1 cap, the rest camped and yanked on their k/d ratio...

    Not that easily though... it's easier to take down a Chopper Gunner as it shows up on the map (assuming Counter Spy Plane isn't running :pac:), than a spy plane/counter spy plane which can sometimes be hard to find. (maybe that's just me though). Also, as you say, you're not getting to play your own game if you're having to change to your anti air support class and take them down.

    I actually meant the party players. I understand that people on there own wont want to use it (although I almost always do)
    I play on my own, but am always up against clans/party teams. I don't see counter spy plane that much. And when I do I know we're in trouble.

    Stun nades are absolutely USELESS in this game. I don't how many times I've killed people while I was stunned or I stunned someone and he kills me. They're just useless.

    I find them great tbh. Although I usually throw them fairly close to the enemy

    Have to agree, I used to love using stun nades but now they're just so useless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill


    Stun nades are a pain in the ****ing arse... nothing worse than getting clipped by one while ur rushing the objective or something. I wouldn't say i die often because of them because you can just drop to cover and watch the corners but for defending objectives or if your capping a flag... they're insanely good.

    They arent flashbangs, dont use them like they are :)

    For ages I was like that. Fck those feckers using second chance. I used to even go over and tea bag them and walk away.

    Anyway, recently I've become more sane about the whole thing. So last week I decided I'd start reviving people when I could. I'd say I have died a good 70% of the time. So, while I possibly wont tea-bag the idiots anymore, I will most likely continue to completely ignore them.

    Point being..... you deserve to be ignored almanu :p
