What exploits....for weeks on bops you could rank up in that combat mode then glitch your way to the last prestige :pac:

nah, I wouldn't normally go to this bother but I knew it couldn't be weeks! I looked up the blops forums for patch release notes. Another thing IW got rid of.

11/18

· Improvements to the spawn system to resolve an issue where negative spawn influencers from specific game events were not always being deleted after the danger had cleared – in some matches, this was causing good spawns to be erroneously flagged by the game as bad spawns, which in turn forced actual bad spawns to get selected later in the match
· Experimental slight reduction in knife lunge range – this is a trial change
· Prevention of Prestige glitching – trying to prestige from Combat Training will reset your stats but not give you prestige

9 days to patch this, hardly 'weeks' .

God damn it, team-mates do not enjoy listening. Enemy called in an Explosive Decoy, I had sit-rep on so I saw it. Type into team chat: "Don't, decoy!" and a team mate walks over and sets it off, killing a guy just spawning beside him in the process.

Darwin's theory in motion right there...

used the trophy system today to try it out, deployed it in two different games to prevent being hit with a predator missile when i saw them incoming, predator missile still gets me after deploying it, worthless tactical equipment

As far as i know i think it only works against projectiles i.e flashbangs/grenades,not missiles.

Not The Real Scarecrow · 04-01-2012 08:24PM

Just had a quick game of team defender...horrible.Unsurprisingly full of camping idiots.Ended up calling a child a fag before quitting in the lobby...oh well.

harvester of sorrow · 04-01-2012 08:28PM

Really?I love playing team defender,alot of easy kills.Havent come across many campers tbh.But where theres a game of cod theres a camper:mad:

I have stopped a good few preds with it. Unless they have patched it. It's a class piece of equipment for domination and demo

the trophy is fantastic, its essential on drop zone. I didnt think it would stop a predator either,its a friggin missile being launched from the air not a ball of semtex. thats like saying a riot shield will stop an ac-130 round :pac:

The connection differences between playlists is unreal at times. For Mercenary, I'm on 3 bar but feels like a 4 bar, then in a party playing domination or tdm it still says 3 bar and yet you're handicapped with what feels like a 1 or 2 bar.

If 3 bar was consistent and not some random-number-generation-connection (by random I mean sh*t and sh*tter) then you could pick strategies from the start of the game to cope with the connection and not have to lose four or five 1 vs 1 to realise their being p***ed on by a blatantly inaccurate description and play more conservatively trying to claw back a positive score from starting 0-1-7.

Connection depends on the host not the playlist

You're missing the point. I used solo play in merc playlists vs party play on tdm & dom to illustrate that the connection beside you're name in the lobbies is unreliable at best and at worst, a falsehood.

The game is saying 3 bar in different playlists/matches/lobbies/etc, yet there is a vastly different connection experienced on a 3 bar, it's a catch all term and it's misleading. I've played matches against Brazilians on what MW3 calls a 3 bar and vividly remember playing more Brazilians on a one bar in black ops.

The sooner IW owns up to fudging/ignoring the connection issues the better, as it stands they're fixating on tweaking guns not core game mechanics that impact everyone. The difference experiences in a multitude of playlists shows that it's not just playlists but inherent throughout the whole game.

Buffing/nerfing a few guns or turning off music is p*ssing in the wind by IW, when there is major flaws not even acknowledged much less rectified.

Me too, I've stopped a bunch of predator missles with it, great yolk altogether.

Finally someone else noticed this. I never pull a 4 bar in any cod since my net sucks and my ping hovers around 70 to 80. But in this game it gives 4 bars yet my first 3 shots never register, I get shot around corners etc. I've learned to not pay attention to it because its the same whether it's on 2 or 4 and theres nothing I can do about it

These forums truly do baffle me. I sold Black Ops after 2 months because it had so many ridiculous issues. On Black Ops I'd be given 1 bar on a foreign host, for no reason. I'd go back to an English host (in gaming terms we're taking this as non foreign), be on 4 bars, then 1 bar on spanish again. On every other cod I'd be on 3 bars. It seems everyone on boards either had incredible luck on Black Ops, or the last 9 months of it being fine has made you all forget about the 2/3 months post-release where the game was a disgrace.

Double ****ing standards. The connection on this game is generally good too, since they patched it.
The issue with this game is maps and spawns, one of which they just attempted to patch. The gun balancing/connection/matchmaking is one par or better than the other cods.

This game has the worst connection out of any cod I've played by a country mile. Blops had its problems in the beginning but by this time last year they were fixed. Im happy for you if your not having that many problems with connection but for me its boderline unplayable

Forgotten how bad the connection issues were on blops at the beginning. It really was unplayable. Fell out with blops after about 9 months and never went back to it. I understand why people like it, it's just not for me.

Never had major connection problems on MW3. Don't hate the maps but agree they could be a lot better and the clutter detracts from them.

Totally agree with gun balancing being ok. People whine about the FM9s/Type95s, they may be overpowered but they're just not a problem.

really? I get constant 4 bars lately and my net is sh1te. with blops I'd get 2-3 most of the time and joining a party was impossible.

Shammy · 06-01-2012 02:28PM

I really liked Kill Confirmed when it first came out , but over the past couple of weeks I cant stand it , its full of campers who dont bother picking up tags and just use the game type to up their k/d :mad:

it really should be scored on tags collected, I know you get xp on the leaderboards but it doesnt show your confirmed/denied score outside of elite, annoying.

06-01-2012 02:30PM

This on a 50% wireless connection will give me 4 bars to good english hosts, 3 bars to bad ones, and 3 bars to all of mainland Europe. Though obviously theres a massive difference between a spanish 3 bar and an English 3 bar.

I have never gotten a 4 bar. It always says 3 but feels like its on a 2 connecting to eastern europe. Im like a 1 second behind everyone. Blops works like a dream for me, partying is no problem and 9/10 connections are solid unlike mw3 where its the other way around

Well after watching you running around with the striker on bootleg I seriously hope your connection doesn't improve. Give the rest of us a chance m8

lol i love that gun. I got a clip on dome yesterday that is crazy. Killed 3 guys taking b, all 3 spawned behind me killed them again, spawned again killed all 3 again. This was in the space of 10 seconds. The game is awesome when it wants to work

Really? I always thought it was more grr arrgghh mother bleeping bleep, i already killed you once you bleep now you're making me come and kill you again you stupid bleeping bleep bleep bleeper :pac:

Samba · 06-01-2012 04:12PM

It has come to the point that I now spend about 5 minutes just trying to find the right host, where my bullets don't just make spitting noises but actually register kills. I know straight away when i'm on to a dodgy host, you can put full clips into people and just manage to kill them.

Of course then when you do finally get a decent host, it gets switched mid game

Bohrio · 06-01-2012 04:15PM

Actually I have noticed that it doesnt really matter if you have 2 or 4 bars. I am always on 4 bars, and most of the times the host and I still find it really hard to kill people at times. I might be playing search and empty a mag on someone and wouldnt even get a hitmarker, my flashes wont work etc. I leave before I get angry, rejoin the same lobby and everything works perfect now, I am able to kill people once again...

I dont know whats going on but is really hard for me to find a lag free lobby.. but is not the same lag problem as in mw2 everything looks fine here but I know that the guy is just not exactly where I am aiming at... is like if he was just a couple of meters ahead or something... very annoying..

dead mans hand can eat a bag of dicks as well, ****ing ridiculous death streak. get rid of death streaks altogether, the only one I use is juiced, you can run faster for a few secodns, oooh, least you're not getting kills from pistols and c4 from it.
