Preferred Nuketown in BOPS1 I have to say.

Ya it seems that there are a lot more boxes and fences to hide behind now. And its very hard to see people if you're running around quickly because the background is so colourful.

And also I think the ability to have 2 attachments as standard is stupid. Almost everyone is using a silencer now aswell as a sight so they have best of both worlds. I never know where I'm being shot from.

Why bother paying for good internet if you are just put into lobbies with yanks and Germans over and over. I don't remember the last time I saw/heard an Irish person in the game.

I'll go back to black ops 1 for a while :cool:

Good! :pac:

Your lucky then. I won't use IRL or EIRE as a clan tag because half of those that do usually have names like anto_up_da_ra or paddy_ira and all you hear is "yer bleedin in man is a fuken wanker, yer a [insert nationality here] prick"

I love the French because all they say is putain!

I don't think it's that. I think it's a combination of the spawns (remember Treyarch altered the spawns in Black Ops 1 for Nuketown not long after release because they were god awful) and the gun power/recoil.

In BOPS1, even going solo it was easier to maintain map control more often than not. In this, not so much.

Kerplunk124 · 16-11-2012 08:28PM

Was in a game earlier with a few Irish people actually

Headshot · 16-11-2012 08:34PM

No recoil.
ridiculous kills from a distance with hip fire
Art of snipping gone
Running knifing idiots

That's what needs to be improved

Soby · 16-11-2012 08:39PM

Patch to test the IQ of team mates is something every games needs

It just so happens that I'm in a game with a fela called IRA_BOMBER_69.

Let's be honest, you'd want to be insane to think BLOPS2 is worse than MW3 - so on that front, at least we can say that this game is a step in the right direction. But we were already scraping the bottom of the barrel with last years game so anything Treyarch threw out would have been better even if it had wizards, dinosaurs, goblins and Mario running around the maps collecting mushrooms. The only thing MW3 was any use for was perhaps a coaster. Granted it's not the best argument to praise BLOPS2 but that's the position I'm in right now. Some of you may find it hard to make that connection but I just found MW3 shocking. It was the pitts. Absolutely f*cking tripe. And for that reason alone, I'm going to give Treyarch more than a chance with this.

A lot of people are having serious lag problems but that will pass. Every COD had hiccups in the first couple of weeks but I've far more belief in Vonderhaar than the new idiots over at IW to fix their game sharpish. Treyarch have a great history of it. Having said that, other glitches or whatever could easily be smoothed out with a BETA and I'd be in favour of that....whatever the politics of it over in Activision.

I'm the first one to critic Call of Duty but I think Treyarch have done the most they can. It's a different animal than it was 5 years ago. It's the biggest franchise globally and I believe the only way to take it forward is to open it up to the community, the creative, the innovators. It has to be open source. I'd like to see modders get creative with maps/game modes and just about everything else for the community to look at, see what works and what doesn't etc. I understand this wasn't much of a megabitch but I do have one complaint....

The Zombies this year.....I consider Tranzit one map. Where are the rest? I'm not going to accept Tranzit all cut up into tiny parts are 3/4 different maps!!

mufcboy1999 · 16-11-2012 11:20PM

i taught mw2 and 3 were the worst of the cods just all over the place hectic games, no gun v gun at all.

blops2 is ok , not mad on it because its baiscally nothing amazing like every single cod since modern warfare 1. The only thing thats really pis*in me off is the amount of sniping and how sh*t the maps are.

Magill · 16-11-2012 11:34PM

Just played on the ps3 for a few hours... Still has those new release lag issues it seems. Really doesn't feel smooth at all. Kinda frustrating.. Me playing like im using my feet probably didn't help ! Its weird how limited u feel coming from kb/mouse to a gamepad after nearly a year barely playing on ps3.

Ohhhhh and has anyone used a escort drone yet... Seemed to bug out on me earlier and killed me 3 or 4 times in a row.. Like it was crashing into me lol

Nuri Sahin · 17-11-2012 12:42AM

Theater is a load of bollocks still. It says matches I won are losses, and doesn't record the entire game despite no host migrations for the most part. Could forgive them for messing up 2 years ago as they just introduced it but this is beyond tedious at this point.

I was wondering what was wrong with it. I was hoping to look back over some good clips I got but I went into theatre and didn't know what was going on. I wasn't sure if there was a delay in the match finishing and the theatre version being available or if it was just broken. It said I had lost some matches by a couple of hundred points when I had actually won.

They better bring out a patch before next week or I'll be seriously pissed.

that map Slums is the new Terminal corridor of death, looking across the courtyard with the big water fountain where B is, its a nightmare trying to cap it back.

Yeah it's a total cluster duck but can be fun sometimes. I'm actually enjoying the maps though I have to say, most of them anyway. Funnily enough I thought hijacked looked terrible in the pre release clips but it's probably my favourite map now, particularly for TDM and domination.

I couldn't agree more.

When COD4 launched, it brought in a whole generation of new gamers that may not have even had the slightest interest or knowledge of the Quakes, Dooms and Counter-Strikes of this world that went before it - it was new, fresh. But Call of Duty has always been Call of Duty and it WILL always be Call of Duty....that's just the way the game is. It is what it is and for those that say it hasn't changed this or that, well...have they considered the fact that they may just be running on empty when it comes to the actual mechanics of the game itself? Now we can criticise for what the developers have or have not done tweak/map-wise but I think it's safe to say that the core of the gameplay will always be the same. FIFA never changes, 22 players kicking a ball around a green pitch....so why do people expect COD to be any different? That's why I find it hard to get excited anymore at this time of year because I know when I'm on my way to the store that what I'm buying is an updated version of a five year old game.

You mentioned map design which leads me back to a previous post. I really believe the community needs to get their hands on the mod tools with Activisions full support. Most of the memorable maps of earlier games across all genres where done outside official studios. The developers got their hands on them and with their fancy budget, made them sparkly and all shiny.

This is what needs to happen in CoD. NukeTown Zombies was a mod for W@W. Treyarch have long been taking ideas from the modding community. I just wish they embraced them and got them in on the act a little more by holding map design competitions for us, the consumers to analyse and dissect before passing judgement and voting on which one's we feel will play better etc. Then Treyarch can go to work with the barebones and build it up.

So get the consumer in by asking us what game WE want as opposed to all the "it's a secret...wait for release BS". After all, we're the one's buying it....it should be OUR game.

zombies isint great its all about finding pieces and building stuff these days. The fog and how you are lit on fire when you walk over a crack on the road is very annoying! The regular mode zombie maps are too small and the tranzit yoke while a good idea isint working for me. I was of the assumption it was a sort of campaign

Don't forget those little ****s thats jump on your head when you leave certain areas :mad:

Sold the game yesterday because I only really play the game for zombies and its terrible this year.

hypersquirrel · 17-11-2012 03:50PM

I think this is a huge improvement on recent installments. The scorestreak system is great and the addition of combat training and league play makes it easy to switch out when things start getting frustrating. Having party and custom games back properly is also a big plus.

That said there are a few things I hate.

Since Cod 4 I have always run ghost/UAV jammer with a silencer and any other stealth perks that came along. Having blind eye and cold blooded near enough at the start is fine but ghost at level 55 is just bad. It's great that they made it only function when you're moving. I always run and gun as stealth so that's certainly not an issue. Since I usually carry rockets or black hats I'll adapt but I can't adapt to not having a silencer.

Silencer at weapon level 12 for an assault rifle is insanity. I've switched to using SMGs which get them at level 4 and considering that SMGs are alread fairly overpowered I think it's going to result in virtually nothing but SMGs and Sniper Rifles.

They also seriously need to fix the Escort Drone and fast. Called it in 3 times last night. The first time it did brilliantly. The other two... They glitched and just killed me over and over for the duration. I'm not sure if they're bugging and shooting me or if they're flying too low and killing me on impact but I've had to take them off for now.

The amount of people that dont understand you have to press 'ready up' to start a game of zombies is crazy.

I saw this floating around twitter today @Spikey_Mikey_23 if you press square during the 'Game Type' menu you can select 'Choose best connection'.

Its worth a shot and will only take about a minute to do .
