Having the worst luck with teammates the past few days. Always seem to end up with people who get ridiculous amounts of deaths. Think I played 6 games in a row last night were I had a rough average of +3.0 K/D ratio and still lost each time.

And that included me shooting down every single UAV/counter etc so it's not like I wasn't being a good team player.

Incredibly good game, compared to Ghosts. Just a fun game in general.

I came across a guy on Youtube earlier, seems to be starting out in the Call Of Duty world (at what would appear to be a bad time), using a camera of some sort set up in front of the TV recording the gameplay :pac:

Only had like 2 or 3 videos. Decent to listen to as well. Reckon if he went at it seriously, he'd make it big enough.

Anyone ever have same problem, everytime Drone comes up once in the game after about 30secs it just freezes and PS3 has to be turned off....now obviously I just quit out of the map now before that happens but just wondering if it ever happened to anyone else.

Stone Deaf 4evr · 28-02-2014 9:56am

I'd say thats caused by everyone leaving the lobby at once as its a brutal map that no one likes.

Makaveli · 28-02-2014 5:35pm

Bootleg and Arkaden used to do it to me on MW3 on the PS3. It's probably a sign your disc is knackered. At first I thought it was the PS3 but I went through 4 MW3 game discs.

irish_goat · 14-04-2014 4:28pm

Got back into S&D, enjoying it apart from the amount of people trying to get a trickshot final kill cam. Although it's funny when there's 3 or 4 of them against you and none of them can make the kill.

Sniper rifles being one shot kill is very annoying when you can't respawn as well.

Makaveli · 15-04-2014 8:21am

Full team of snipers, hide so you're last alive. Combat axe them all as they try to 360 yy no scope you.

Liam O · 15-04-2014 9:20am

I played BO2 for days and I don't think I seen one person try a 360 QS. I think some people just get butthurt when they get sniped at all and just blanket it as quickscoping. I ran around sniping when I played the game but rarely were they quickscopes. They made snipers nigh on unusable in ghosts but got a great balance in BO2 with them I felt. Sniping seems to be the great unknown in previous cod games, 'oh they used the hardest guns to aim and killed me, cheats'. Hardly.

Jump into S&D and you should have no trouble finding one. I would say in 8 out of every 10 search games I play these types show up. I don't have any gripes with getting killed by them as I appreciate it's a skill but what gets me is when you die and the rest of the search round is comprised of players from both teams drag out the round fannying about trying to hit trick shots on each other rather than actually just try and win the round

Yeah but they get so mad when you kill them with a reg gun, knife or axe it's almost worth it.

I hate when people quickaim quicknife or quickaxe me alright. They need to get rid of that in the next game.

NoviGlitzko · 15-04-2014 9:00pm

This is still the worst COD game by far. Ghosts has many faults but can't believe people don't prefer Ghosts over this campfest crap.

It's amazing how I believe literally the exact opposite of this. Ghosts is a terrible, terrible game. I'm trading it in without even prestiging, first time ever in a COD. Enjoyed BO2 upto the last moment I had it, will probably pick it up again soon. How you can call a game that has no repercussions for using a silencer less of a campfest than one that costs you something for having one is flabbergasting imo.

Do you even understand what we're talking about? We're not talking about snipers or quickscopers, we're talking about games of SnD where these guys wait until there is one person left alive on the enemy team and literally run out the round trying to hit a trickshot. But yeah keep on fighting the good fight for the snipers, like 99% of your posts on here.

I'm usually not arsed writing a lengthy reply but - the reason this game sucked to me is because everything was suited to camping. The only ones of my real life friends who enjoyed this are campers.

The maps, good god. The map with the fountain in the middle was probably the only map where SMG's and shot-guns could be used effectively throughout the entire map. You were left to small areas of other maps to run and gun or else you would get picked off. Cargo (I think it's called) is a classic example. It was just a maze with good vantage points with no decent running area. All the maps are like this, & MW2 had this problem as well, it was boring. The SMG's themselves were inferior to the AR's to boot; whats the point? The Vector was decent, that was probably it. The DLC maps for 1 & 2 (never got 3 & 4) were good though.

What else? The killstreaks. Why bother run and gun when you can rack up big, completely overpowered killstreaks by camping away with a ranged weapon. I could waffle on about how **** this game is like I did when this game came out but I forget a lot of it now. Maps, guns, killstreaks. Pretty much ****ing up the 3 basic things of what makes Multiplayer what it is.

Yeah, Ghosts has its problems, its far from perfect and I have things against it myself, but I really didn't like BO2. That's just my opinion of course. I'll always lean towards games where there are stronger short ranged weapons.

Have you even played blops2? The smgs were the most dominant gun in this from the beginning.

They were decent in the beginning before they nerfed them. The AR's were always more powerful anyway. All pales into comparison talking about the maps though.

I ran around with a sniper in it and used single shot and burst fire ARs, was still always top of my team in Dom and kill confirmed. In ghosts I gave up on sniping because it's too hard, I got diamond in BO2 so not someone who's inexperienced with them, tried to run around ARs or SMGs, run into people aimed in waiting for me to run around corners with SMGs or shotguns. There's no easy way around them, no way to destroy all the killstreaks they get without either shooting at the sky or knifing the ground. Campers were so much easier to deal with in BO2 because of the more open maps. Every map in ghosts is just corner after corner, no sightlines so it's all short range which is a lot more of a dice roll and makes the weapons that take more than a milisecond to aim in useless. Thus taking the skill out of the game in favour of an everyone can play attitude.

NoviGlitzko · 16-04-2014 10:55pm

I agree but this has been an ailment in the last two COD's to be fair. There is too much clutter in there as well. Both these COD's have far too much things that have no reason to be there other than to give it more of a 'real' feel, or else just to show off that they are trying to show you just how much work they put in.

I keep going back to MW3's Lockdown as a perfect map blueprint. It's tailors every gun class whether it be short or long ranged. It has no clutter, killstreaks have to be used smartly to work on the map, camping was risky because of the safe running areas and lack of edge of the map hiding areas, and it was a perfect size. Every game mode was excellent on it (esp. Team Defender). Simple.

I'm already looking forward to the next COD tbh. Ghosts has some truly horrible maps like Siege & Flooded, but what keeps me going back somewhat, is that the good maps are better than the 'good' BO2 ones, among other things.

I think we can both agree that these 2 games majorly need to sort out the spawns.

Copy/Paste from another thread here...

I only bought a copy of BLOPS2 last week (£5!) and after only three hours gameplay I had reached level 32. That was far too easy to do, there wasn't enough of a challenge and the challenges system was so messed about with in that game as to make it highly uninteresting. Quickscope snipers are everywhere and while there are some fun elements to multiplayer, I found the switch to scorestreaks and levels for weapons to be boring. A very poor game IMO. I didn't and won't buy COD ghosts.

I don't mind snipers at all but quickscoping ruins the game. Lads running around using Barratts as if they are assault rifles, defeats the purpose of sniping and ruins the game. I like sniping myself, there's nothing more satisfying than seeing someone run from cover in a quick dash and then looking down the scope, tracking the runner and then , BLAM, taking him out with a nice clean shot. However, tapping the scope button and fire button a millisecond later and getting a kill is a mockery to sniping. Sniping should be more about finding and selecting a good position that you can protect, has a good kill zone, and can be exited from quickly if you get into trouble.

Camping is something I've never really minded, the guy who sits in the same corner with a shotgun aimed at the door can be easily taken out with a well-cooked grenade once you know he is there. Then you plant a claymore in the spot and 10 seconds later, score more points because he went and sat in the corner again

The clever camper who moves around the spot he's camping in so that when you go back to get him with a well-cooked grenade, he's not in the same place and blasts you in the back is a challenge, I enjoy facing, so I'm not too bothered by that.

I think that the developers have caved-in to those who just want to run around and shoot people and have made it all too easy for everyone. There is no real challenge anymore. BLOPS2 is awful

Glad I only payed a fiver for it.

Does anybody play S&D seriously anymore? It's become my go-to gametype when there isn't enough on for Dom but all I come across lately are muppets jumping off **** with snipers

The thing I find weird about search is the number of parties you end up playing against, not that many, with the game being out for a year and a half you'd think only the hardcore would still be playing search.

The amount of trick shot stuff is a joke alright.

The Moldy Gowl · 26-05-2014 4:18pm

Thats when you whip out the shotgun and trick shot them with that.
