    I always have a 4 bar connection and have a solid broadband at home too.

    What I'm saying is, it's not just people with good connections that suffer from the lag/connection. I have an ok connection and suffer from it, lads I play in parties with have great connections also suffer from it... I'm not sure what you above post means?

    That doesnt always work. For example, I have open nat, using wired ethernet cable. Pings are around 1 ms to and irish site, 5ms to UK. Even if I have bittorrent open and watching a movie my latency wont go below 10-15 ms.

    But I am still penalized. Same thing as Jimmy. I can hear them coming, I am waiting for them, aiming at the door, I know they are about to pop out and all of the sudden I am dead... I didnt even have time to shoot. When I watch the killcam I can see him coming out the corner, turning, looking, he spots me and shoots and kills me... and of course, I look like a fool

    I also tried changing the connection filter to best/normal/any and made no difference :(

    I’m sorry, you misunderstood, that link was only to assist in opening nat connection. Not to prevent lag or improve lag compensation

    I knew snipping was piss easy but bloody hell I never knew it was this bad. I ran out of bullets on my an-94 and had to pick up a snipping gun, the svu (special victims unit :D) and jebus lads its taking the biscuit, its so darn easy to snip. Where is the skill?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    Where's the skill in hip firing, or using the target finder attachment? Like others have said, they dumbed it down a bit, not much skill involved at all

    cant even beat someone who i used flash bang on with 3 bars

    the guns and grenades and the like sound fine, its the ambient sounds in the maps that sucks, you can barely hear wind on maps like Turbine compared to on Afghan where it was blowing and you could hear car metal creaking and stuff, that all adds to the atmosphere, its like you're fighting in a vaccum in some maps on Blops 2.

    I'm exclusively playing hardcore now. Ignorance is bliss with the absence of a killcam, I know I'm still affected by lag but when it's not shoved in your face straight after you die,it doesn't annoy you nearly as much :D and people actually die when you hit them in hardcore.

    Could do with a few more game modes being in there. You could play HC DOM and KC in MW3.

    Yeah, it’s probably my biggest complaint about the game; it’s the 21st century instant gratification syndrome. They want new players to be able to play and do ok, rather than having to put in any time and effort into improving.

    I also have a strong suspicion the maps were designed as they are to nerf the new ghost, even if you know where someone is, in a lot of cases it's difficult to get in at them, they can just head glitch. Where are the guys who designed Firing range, Summit and WMD????

    Thats something Ive never quite understood about modern gaming, instead of wanting players to improve they want people who are crap at the game to do well. Deathstreaks being the biggest culprit (I know theyre not in blops but still oh you just died 5 times in a row? well here's a cheap kill for you, dont try change your style of play to get back on track.

    maybe its the old school gamer in me but back in the NES/SNES days games didnt offer to lower the difficulty or play themselves (looking at you new super mario bros!) if you were bad at it. suck at a game? tough, get better.

    I can only assume it all about the moneyzzzzz. Making the game more noob friendly should result in more sales.

    "tough, get better" Yep, my thoughts exactly...:)

    I traded in mine and got 25 euro in xtravision, just wasn't enjoying playing it.

    Hey, don't knock death streaks, I think podgemonster said it best :pac:
    Sometimes you can get stuck in rut, caught in a spawn trap and you feel like you cant go on, feel like giving up....

    But then a hand reaches down,
    A hand pulls you to your feet,
    A dead mans hand.

    It gives you a little pat on the pack and in a way that says "hey, here's some volatile C4, go kill someone?"

    And then you run like a starving child after a UN convoy to that camping blind eyed príck in the corner and laugh as you both die pathetically together.

    Anyone that uses that laser pointing thing needs to be put down like an unwanted puppy left out in the rain on Christmas Day.

    Such a complete piece o shît that was made for retards to get kills. No one uses anything else but those things.

    In my defense.... nope can't think of anything, just another reason for people to call me a cûnt


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,670 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    I see snipers with the laser

    Now that is ****ing ridiculous


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,139 ✭✭✭✭Mr. Manager


    That thing is the absolute definition of easy mode. It's a joke. Just spray from the hip up to about 30 metres away. Sorry Lynx, you're a cünt :pac:

    I know what you mean, broadband speeds aside.. It's the lag compensation really does go over the top.

    Again playing last night, using the Scorpion Evo. Firing a full mag at this lad, he wasn't even moving, it was like some bullets were hitting him and some weren't in the same mag. It shouldn't take 32 bullets to kill someone..

    Ah well..

    It's just like the perk Steady Aim. Why do people hate on it now when it's called something else.

    Are you for real? This is like steady aim,enhanced times 3, maybe more.


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


    Seemed pretty much the same as steady aim to me, you could hipfire from miles away with steady aim in blops 1 aswel iirc.

    Quick youtube search..


    Being an attachment and not a perk is a bit op tho.

    saw one yesterday with the laser and no scope just iron sights, picked it up off the guy after i killed him it was pretty cool, reminded me of the rifles from the WW2 era games.
