    Kells tells me he's the best player on Xbox btw.

    Only on Xbox? He's not usually that modest.

    Don't understand the backlash at all. Granted, I still have to play the game (waiting for Xbox One), but from all the gameplay vids I've seen, multiplayer looks like a big improvement. I haven't played any of the Black Ops series. Only stuck to the Infinity Ward games.

    Like, it's got some savage sounding new modes that really encourage team play. Yes, the game can be played alone, but if you can get a team together, it's fantastic fun. I remember the most fun I had was going on a 109 game winning streak in MW3 with my friends.

    New equipment and weapons look fun, everyone basically has stopping power, sound whoring is alive and well, I like how busy the maps look, and the dynamic thing has me totally sold.

    Cannot wait.

    No offence to Kells but when he rage quits as much as he does he loses all credibility. Decent lad, decent player but you can't just leave games when you're getting smashed so you can join a shítter lobby in the hopes to up your K/D and stomp on some n00bs.

    I miss that about Kells on PS3. Good times.

    I was on fire last night, even got 5 sat comms in one game.

    I know I know, it's ok, hold your applause...

    I'd consider myself a longterm COD player since the first COD ever. But even I can't justify this game.

    What do you reckon gamestop's trade-in value would be?

    Arguing what consumer rights? not liking something isn't grounds to get a refund, the product isn't faulty.

    What's e-sniping? Is it something that's going to make me angry?

    Competitive gamemodes using sniper classes only.

    Theres also pro mod where each squad must use 1 ar 1 smg 1 sniper and 1 lmg

    So it's sort of like how many pints you can drink on a night out type of thing


  • Site Banned Posts: 26,456 ✭✭✭✭Nuri Sahin


    Pro-mod and ugh, e-sniping shouldn't be brought up in the same sentence. One requires the best of the very best teams duking it out on a level playing field.

    The other to me comes across a something for the iSniP3RZxXx crowd to make themselves out to be MLG L33T.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭MarkY91


    honestly, could all you moaners go away and create a cod hater thread or something?

    I aint exactly pro sniping, but what i'm saying is that if snipers want to do their own thing and create their own sub community let it be. What some snipers can do is impressive, but as long as it doesnt impact on others.

    If that's aimed at me, how about you actually report me then. Maybe it's best you stick to the sunshine and lollipops thread.

    That would defeat their purpose :)

    Haven't played this yet. Waiting on the PS4 so probably won't get to play it until the New Year.

    All the hate is making me want to buy the PS3 version.

    If that's the case and what the private lobby games are being used for, fair enough.

    Would have been nice in that case had there been a community for that during MW2!

    its aimed at alot of people.

    the thread is being spoiled for actual fans of ghosts who wants to discuss the game.

    Wouldn't have thought so. It's fine to have an opinion

    I thought he was referring to the posts yesterday - registering accounts just to post negative comments and such

    discuss - verb - talk or write about (a topic) in detail, taking into account different issues or ideas.

    there is discussing the negative points of the game(ive done it myself the past few days) then there is posts that come across as pure hatred for the game..

    Showing disdain or negativity can help improve things by highlighting grievances and creating an understanding of what could potentially be changed. As boards is crawled by Google, it can be then picked up and listed on a search engine. An Activision employee who's job is in post release QA (they do have QA positions in Ireland for COD) stumbles upon this thread and goes, "I wonder if this could help me on my way to promotion, there's a few valid grievances, I know i'll write a proposal report (stimulating work .... zzzz) ?" He writes the report, gives it to his manager, listing specifically the points made here, good and bad. The game is improved, everybody smiles more, making the world more happy. "Sunshine and Lollipops" he says, as he walks out the door with his promotion and bonus.

    Yes, negativity too can help breed positivity.

    Sunshine and lollipops is there if you don't want negativity.

    At least have the balls to call someone a troll properly rather than hiding behind vague statements.

    I'd advise him not to considering the numerous on thread warnings, with one specifically stating not to call people trolls but to report their posts instead
