    Maps need to be bigger. Spawns are so predictable.

    Guns need to be more powerful, takes about 10-12 bullets to kill someone.

    Matchmaking needs to be better and not put you in games that are as good as done.

    Guns need recoil. Not more recoil cause that would give the impression there was some to begin with.

    Are the spawns more like previous COD games or all over the place like MW3? the spawns were awful in that.

    Small maps are always the best maps

    My opinion so far is only from a small sample size of games but it reminds me of demolition on Black Ops 1. For the record I was playing TDM. Last night I rushed the spawn, picked up a triple and then they spawned right there again in front of me.

    Indeed, Salvage, Scrapyard etc are great, not many places for campers. cant stand huge maps like Derail or Fuel, just a chore to get around.

    Concerned about the servers not being up yet. Blops 1 had a closed beta to test the game and we all know the result of that. I predict a bumpy launch. Hopefully i'm wrong.

    Its why I'm waiting a few days before getting into the multiplayer, launch night is a clusterfcuk, always.

    The servers have been up since Friday, theres people prestiged already.

    Anyway I think the Snipers are far too easy to use, any decent sniper will have a field day

    Easy compared to what ? Like are they easier to use than SMG's or AR's ? If so, that could be a problem. Tho, i can't see that being the case, especially since the maps are apparently quite small compared to previous versions of CoD.

    Blops 1, They are on par with MW2/MW3, The DSR might actually be even easier to use than the intervention in MW2, less hitmarkers.

    Cool that the severs are up. Did you run into Whiteboy, Woody, Thunder, Jnasty, any of the OpTic guys, seananners, hutch...anyone? The people playing must be thin on the ground this early.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 11,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr. Manager


    That laser sight attachment is insane for close quarter. It blows steady aim out of the water.

    I wouldn't really consider that too easy then imo.. i'll wait till i try it out tho before judging it. Glad that there are less hitmarkers thats for sure.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 11,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr. Manager


    I don't think sniping is as bad as MW2/3 but a lot of people are running snipers. Got quickscoped once last night in the whole session.

    It's easier than Black Ops I but not as easy as MW2/3


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


    Sounds good... looking forward to giving it a bash during the week...


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


    Dont really like how domination is timed now


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭DaveNoCheese


    My serious bitch about this is game is... that I don't have it yet :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,649 ✭✭✭Not The Real Scarecrow


    what are the connections like and the matchmaking?Any lag/lag comp? Presume its much better than mw3.

    great so far (ps3) been in a few games where everyone is on 4 bars. it loads super fast as well, compared to how Blops1 was laggy as hell on launch its a nice change. matchmaking seems ok, was lvl 9 and the highest rank i was in with was 16, am 16 myself now and the highest rank i was with was 25 so not major differences.

    Laser attachment on a silenced Scorpion EVO. Is ridiculously quick, no time at all to react to that..

    Ah well, still enjoying it so far :D

    4 Bar means nothing on treyarch games IMO. I remember when blops 1st came out......everyone was on a 4 bar at the start too, even with people teleporting around the map.

    Rubbish 4 bars on Blops and worked fine 3 bars and connection was questionable.

    Blops2 has been extremely stable since I got it yesterday at 4pm, even after the hoards started started signing into MP after midnight it worked fine and today with US players on line it's still working fine for me and anyone I've been playing it! Fair play to Treyarch great effort for making sure the title launch went smoothly:)

    Havent seen much lag at all, early days and all that but its running reall smoothly, 205k people online right now and nothing less than 3 bars in any match i've been in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 843 ✭✭✭Yellowledbetter


    I keep getting a message saying "the COD servers are currently unavailable",getting it all day and can't get online....was fine last night though. P!ssing me off now


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,005 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    Just played 2 games, 1 game of Free for All and 1 Nuketown, Free for All wasn't bad, Nuketown was laggey as a laggey thing on laggey day, up to level 7 after 2 games though, seems way too easy to level up now

    The 1st few levels are always quick but then slow down as they go on

    FFA Nuketown 2025 is......... interesting!

    Same happened during Black Ops 1 for me :/

    Being in the emblem editor when it tries to get you into a game is a game breaker

    do you have open nat?

    That map on the boat, whatever its called. Its horrible for domination.

    Yeah think so. Odd thing is i seem to easily get into core hardcore and nuketown playlists fairly easy but I haven't played any of the others as i've been waiting way too long to get in

    Not a fan of the sound of the guns. The 'silencer' sounds like those children's toy machine guns you get in pound shops.

    Then I had the Galil in zombies and it sounds terrible compared to Black Ops 1 Galil which had a beastly sound.

    Spawns in FFA are a bit dodgy at times, especially on Hijacked.

    Sound whoring is virtually gone out the window, which is bitter sweet.

    Other than that I have nothing to complain about, I haven't encountered that many campers either.

    Also, I seem to die instantly but when I shoot someone it takes a bit longer. Maybe its my accuracy.


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


    that map Crisis is basically the same one as the one where the missile launches in Blops1, feels identical


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭Cossax


    Spawns aren't great, that's for sure.

    Sounds are alright but soundwhoring is gone, boo!

    Headglitching EVERYWHERE. There's just so much stuff to sit behind. :mad:

    yeah the maps are very quiet aside from the gun and grenade noise, if there's any downtime between people shooting the maps are almost silent, least the footsteps are in sync now :pac:


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


    Van thingy was saying last night that you can sound whore, but you have to mess around with the settings in the options menu.

    I've been playing for about 2-3 hours... and so far I don't like it... being honest i was like this with MW3 until i got to know it.

    But so far I don't like the way it takes to many bullets to kill a person.
    and
    I don't like the graphics --- they feel to cartoony to me.. maybe it's just all the bright colours !!

    Hope it grows on me..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭iMuse


    Puts full clip into someone, they turn around and drop me in 1 bullet. 4 Bar connection and struggling to win a 1 v1 gunfight. Anyone else having hit detection problems?


  • Registered Users Posts: 672 ✭✭✭Shifty Shellshock


    Turbine is a horrible map. Suppose to be big but all you can do it go up the sides. Bad design. The Downturn of Black ops 2


  • Registered Users Posts: 478 ✭✭jimmy180sx


    Sweet mother of jebus..20 straight minutes of trying to jump into TDM and still waiting. My controller timed out twice!!

    Gotta agree on graphics .. quite cartoony alright .. very different from dreayness of mw3 .. hope it ll grow on me too cause quite enjoying gameplay !

    The amount of head glitch spots are my only problem so far


  • Registered Users Posts: 672 ✭✭✭Shifty Shellshock


    Too many random barrels around corners for the head glitch. The sound is completely f*cked. A guy jumps off the top deck on Hijacked onto the ground and shoots me from behind. i never even heard him pounce with my Trittons. And he wasn't using Ninja.

    If they sorted out the sound and the amount of bullets it takes to kill someone, it would be a great game.

    Drone seems like a discarded map from Black ops 1, a complete mess.

    Maps are too small to try for high score streaks. And bad spawns add to that.

    Combat Record is awkward to get through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,356 ✭✭✭NeVeR


    After another few hours of play the Spawns on some maps and stupid.. you die and spawn a few feet away from the person that killed you...

    Also played about 2 hours solid Nuketown... love that map :)
