Still useful as fuck, considering the UAV spam and the fact that a ton of people don't seem to use it.
Yeah there's ludicrous amounts of UAVs cropping up. It's why I often pack a launcher, just to pick up easy an easy 75 points here and there.

Something just occurred to me and I have no idea how to get it answered but here goes.
If Treyarch had of wanted to, what would be the possibility of releasing the included maps as DLC instead of on disc?
Reason I ask is because I wonder why they haven't taken advantage of the fact they have dozens of maps from previous games that dont get used anymore.
Think if they made an online store to purchase certain old maps by your choice would be pretty swell.
Only issue I can think of is matchmaking.

Lag has been awful in some games I have played, went 1-15 before hosts got switched.
Also, trying to knife people has been pointless for me. Possibly due to the lag.

I wonder why they did away with the regional match-making anyway, I'm a bit fed up of being turfed into games with French/German/Spanish/Italians gibbering away on their mics.

Playing Battlefield 1943 or Uncharted 2 online always had you in with the french.
Theoretically you'd expect a game to look for worldwide games and then pick the ones with the best lag, which logically would be close to you, but it could be that they're just ignoring that and throwing everyone into a Euromix.
I have a PSN account that's registered as US to get access to their store and I signed in to play Blops 1 on it once. Literally heard a "YEEEEHAAAWW" over the mic, so it seems they're going for region over lag and so want to lump all the eurosocialists together. There should be no shortage of local people to play with. Is their maybe a setting to prioritise connection speed? I know some games have that.
El Capitano Gatisto
11-30-2012, 10:45 AM
I have it set to best connection to try to get games where theoretically I should have the best ping rate possible (in BO1 this was "locale only"). I'm usually playing with a 15-18 Mb/s download rate and a 1.6 Mb/s upload rate and I generally have 4 full green bars in any matches going on and that should be more than enough to have a decent game. See the problem is that unlike MW2, when you knew being host would mean you'd murder everyone, in this it's actually the opposite and being host means it's going to be a battle. I think that the measures they've put in to balance out the ping speeds are basically broken so that invariably people with a worse connection actually do better and it's exacerbated by the bonkers match-making from all over Europe. In MW2 also the match search would tell you it was trawling through games under a certain ping speed. I don't know how this works. The worst part is, much of the time when the game is playable, I know it's probably factoring the other way and I'm being given an advantage over some of the other players. There's genuinely over a second of difference in what players are seeing on their screens and I refuse to believe it's down to my connection being too poor, so I would guess that this is down to a deliberate attempt to help people with shite connections.

I always thought the system from the Modern Warfare games worked great. I can only guess that Treyach have to come up with their own system, hence all the problems with Blops, especially on PS3, and now they've changed it so it's a completely new system. Your connection speed itself is far beyond mine, and knowing you can play other games then the fault would either be shit software or a poor selection of players, and with this being the biggest game in the world, etc, it's not the latter.

I read some stuff about players being matched on ping but I seem to end up playing a group of Germans or French 90% of the time so I don't know how this could be. Maybe it picks out one person in the lobby who is in Mongolia.
Hasn't stopped me playing it absolutely shitloads as its great when things are going ok. Although I don't believe the stuff about punishing players for stuff, I've backed out more than I've completed matches over this at times plus I back out in the innumerable times the match-making system drops me in some hopelessly lost team.

Got the Domination capture calling card. Been averaging around 4-7 captures a game. Still losing games because of ass teamates though.
If you've got A and B captured, your best bet is to just hold fast and defend them. But people try and get C, and when they do,it throws the enemy spawn all over the place, and makes it easier for them to take B, which is the key point of the game.

I'm highly guilty of that but only if I'm on a team I trust and can handle holding down all flags. It shoots me right to the top of our team.

Really think that Treyarch nailed it with this. Love this game to be truthful. Few things annoy me about it and its relatively balanced which is great.
Few spawns, Carrier and Hijacked in particular tend to be irritating but that is avoided by playing with people with some knowledge of how the game works.
Besides the absence of a few weapons, I am happy with this. Getting every DLC since I want more maps.
Yes, FAngel plans to buy <I>all</I> the DLC. The end of days is upon us! Sinners repent!

The maps were better in BO1, If only for Firing Range.
The level of customization in this is exactly what I wanted though. I can make my sniper class insane with the options I have, Even more enjoyable to play it then my MW2 with Barrett/Spas-12.
That and my run and gun has a silenced mp7, with laser and reflex. Lightweight, Extreme Conditioning and a smoke grenade.

No. You shouldn't be forced to use Ghost because of UAV spam. Without scavenger the most you are gonna be able to shoot down is 2, maybe 3, UAVs per life. And the only other option is counter UAV, you know the thing that's supposed to counter UAV spam, and it takes more fucking points than a hunter kill and care package to get.

The game is better when you have to be aware of where you are at all times, Ill still use the UAV regardless. This decision to leave Ghost to level 55 has separated the shite players from the skilled ones.
Without scavenger the most you are gonna be able to shoot down is 2, maybe 3, UAVs per life.
Your opponents aren't doing it trust me. Be better then them fundamentally and you will tear them apart.
And the only other option is counter UAV, you know the thing that's supposed to counter UAV spam and it takes more fucking points than a hunter kill and care package to get.
So something that provides an enormous tactical advantage to your team should be cheap. Gotcha.
If anything they should switch hunter killer and counter UAV.
No they shouldn't, that would make getting Ghost so late pointless. Some people would use it, but most wouldn't. UAV shows where people are, so that benefits the user primarily since he is on a three or four kill streak. Counter benefits the whole team by giving them. an advantage over the ENTIRE enemy team.

i agree with counter-uav being moved closer, disagree with being 'forced' to use ghost. Dont use it then, and stay on your toes. You pop up on the radar when you shoot a gun, do you feel 'forced' to put a silencer on it?
Also, with two black-hats, you can easily take down 4 UAVs. If you play smart and the map permits it, you can trick people of your position in a two-story building.
Calling something like UAV spam is ridiculous. You still have to EARN that streak.

If I had my way, you would be stunned if you fired without holding your breath with a sniper, but that'sjust me .
Or do something what I suggested YEARS ago.
- If it's an unscoped shot, the crosshairs are so large, they take up your entire screen. Literally the only way to kill someone with an unscoped shot would have to be in melee range. Otherwise there's a 99% chance your shot will not hit.
- The moment you aim down the sights those crosshairs become smaller. Obviously we're getting out of touch with reality because when you look through a scope in "real life" you'll see exactly where you're aiming but I don't give a fuck anymore because that's not how people are using it in this game.
So you press LT and the crosshairs slowly start to collapse into an actual reticle that you can use to snipe with. Think of the laser in Halo 3. Similar to that but just a little bit quicker.
- People who actually get kills like that can be rewarded with an attachment that makes that collapse quicker but not actually game breaking like quick-scopers.
Sniper rifles will be used how they're supposed to. Bullshit quickscope kills have been eliminated. I don't see what the problem is.

Quick-scoping is rife in BO2. It's thoroughly irritating as well. Benders.
I enjoy a bit of sniping but it's way better in Battlefield 3 with bullet drop, one-hit-kills only if you get a headshot and the spotting system. I headshotted some poor bastard from 500m when he was running down the beach in one of the islands. Of course no one else saw it but it was immensely satisfying still. Sniping in CoD is more a case of if you're smart enough to avoid getting rumbled too often, it's not difficult to hit even a running opponent.
RoXer
12-07-2012, 02:58 PM

I'm highly guilty of that but only if I'm on a team I trust and can handle holding down all flags. It shoots me right to the top of our team. I remember two things playing Domination with Alvarado, one time I was the top scorer with 0 kills and god knows how many caps and then another time our team won 200-4.
You might have been there too, I don't remember.
Fignuts
12-07-2012, 03:10 PM
Maybe.
And yeah, I agree that if you're playing with a few people you can coordinate with, getting all flags is a viable option. But when it's with randoms, who most of which don't even use a mic, it just leads to the opposing team getting two control points.

As a player who enjoys sniping, I agree with RoXer.
My suggestion would be simply having the crosshairs not be in the center of the screen and off slightly in a random direction when you ADS.
Eliminates quickscoping and makes you actually have to line up the shot.

Why do you need a "constant feed of info?" Most players probably spend about an average of 40 seconds being alive at a given time in this game before they have to re-spawn, it's too fast paced and the maps too small to even pretend "tactical speak" is of any use.
All you need is players who can be relied upon to do sensible things in team games, if I talk on this game it would be to talk shite to my mates. And really if you want to form a really effective team, all you need is for everyone to have UAV and counter-UAV as pointstreaks.

I on average have the least amount of deaths and usually highest k/d ratio because I play it tactically. With a team giving info on locations when UAVs aren't up, it provides you with the possible location they are spawning and where to focus your attention.
I completely agree with at least doing sensible things, it is great when you ask a teammate to do a check down the stairs or watch the door while you check the other or clearthe room or setup a sniper nest.
Lastly though, complementary killstreaks, not just UAV and C-UAV are needed. What works is causing your opponents as much disadvantage as possible so for example A c-uav, guardian and a dragonfire and the enemy hasn't a chance.
I can and have played without a peep from the entire team I am playing with but really don't see the point if it feels like you are playing with a half dozen decent randoms and not some likable gentlemen like yourselves.

Honestly FA, I don't like talking to you in games because you don't even talk about the game half the time. Like I am trying to focus on killing people, and talking about that stuff with my friends or maybe joking around, nothing serious, and you come in and want to talk about the most random crap that totally takes me out of what I'm in the mood to do. Like, I'm playing this game because I want to kill the shit out of people with friends. Usually multiple friends. And you join and start domineering the airwaves with whatever it is you want to talk about usually, no matter if the chat is full of other people or not. This typically, depending on how your day is going, devolves into just complaining about what's going on, and it usually brings down other people, who then start bitching, etc... and it degenerates pretty quickly and brings the whole room down.

There is something cool about being able to fly a jet/helo, or drive a tank/ATV, etc.

You have to realize that they very well could have hit you in a vital area but lag causes it to appear they missed in the kill cam very much like how the final killcam often looks like they missed by miles.
Honestly, if the CoD franchise would give 2 shits less about the FPS and incorporate vehicles OR more diversity between players (a la BF3) I might come back to the series. After I played BF3 online, I have never looked back. Played a bit at my brothers' houses, but not purchased the game itself.
There is something cool about being able to fly a jet/helo, or drive a tank/ATV, etc.
Also enjoy the land mines, C4 that actually blows stuff up and the functionality of SOFLAM. Oh yea, destructible environments, that would be another aspect that CoD needs to incorporate to "catch up".
So you want CoD to become BF. Ok.
I run and gun as well, it's much more fun. I have never been sniped from across a map or anything. If I am sniped, usually it is a 2 person spotter/sniper team.
I don't blame you for giving up after that experience..... but isn't quickscoping just as bad or frustrating?
It happens so little to me that honestly haven't noticed it at all. The thing that pisses me off is that on maps like Cargo which are huge when you respawn ten feet from where you died with the bastard who killed you running around the corner.

I'm tempted to go back to BF3 because I am only enjoying BO2 maybe 50% of the time due to the scandalous lagging issues. When BF3 is good, it's unbeatable, however, it can take a while to find good competitive games. It's pretty shit being on either side of a game where one team is full of gimps who just want to snipe in Rush and, worse, are shit even at that. Also being spawn trapped on some maps is simply no fun whatsoever.

12-10-2012, 06:24 PM
Agreed that being spawn trapped can suuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
And no, Fangel, I don't want it to be BF3, but they need to introduce SOMETHING new other than "amigad we haz a new moed and different wayz to level, you buy nao?" My point is, the releases since MW2 could just as easily be "DLC" if not for the addition of the solo campaign.
I'm not a "fanboy" of either/or as both have their advantages to their style and can be fun in their own rights.

12-10-2012, 07:01 PM
Agree with the DLC comment, guns and maps could easily be added to games but they need their millions.
This CoD is different to me due to the ability to style a class completely to what you wish to do, even forsaking everything besides a primary weapon if you wish.
Have not enjoyed a shooter quite like this in awhile. I mean its still CoD but at least it's decent.

Thinking of breaking down and buying this. Ugh. Really just didn't want to spend the money, as I already bought Halo and didn't think I had room for two shooters. But people I know have been playing this more than Halo so damn it. Got a month off of school now, and I want to nerd out on something.
So I've seen comments in passing in this thread that say this game is pretty good. Any closing comments before I say 'fuck it' and drive to the store? Lag issues? Balancing issues? Glitches? Probably gonna still buy it regardless of what people say but I'd like to be a little prepared for anything I guess.

No game breaking glitches, pretty balanced (for a CoD game), suggest using the MP7 or Starter shotgun until you unlock the weapon you want, as the starting assault rifles are piss.

That's not hard. None of them are, really. This is the first game where I've unlocked all the camos for any gun. So glad the challenges aren't limited to just headshots anymore.
You know what's something I'd like to see addressed in the next patch? C4 and Betties being used as grenades. Throw some kind of detonation delay on there, for fuck's sake.

I never said it was hard, it's frustrating as hell to get 4 kills, then get killed by a sniper or a retard with a KSG. And they are limited to headshots, atleast for ARs/SMGs/LMGS, still gotta get 100 before you can unlock the other ones.
They already have an anti "C4/Betty used as a grenade" it's called use flak jacket over ghost.

Claymores are effective. They seem to go off quicker in Blops 2 than in previous games, making it possible to plant one right in front of a door and getting a kill, as opposed to planting it facing the direction the enemy will run.

He's right, the lag is fucking scandalous. I'm living back home for a while now too and i'm getting an even better connection (22 mb down, 4 mb up) and the lag is still a joke. They fucked the game.
Requiem
12-14-2012, 01:45 PM
The lag is pretty bad in this game. I've probably complained more about it in previous games, but usually because it was at least somewhat hidden and only happened from time to time. In this game, it happens every fucking game. There is just a serious lag issue with either the coding, or their servers. Get killed 5-10 feet behind walls every other death. Just as testament, I was playing split screen online at a friend's, and what I did on my screen was delayed by at least 1 second on his screen. Which is kind of silly considering we're on the same box.
I join a game and it's just a random roll of the dice as to whether my connection is good or not in a given game. I have 12mb service, which while it isn't fiber, it certainly isn't fucking terrible. 1mb upload too which is pretty 'standard'.
El Capitano Gatisto
12-14-2012, 01:51 PM
I have full green bars every time, but it's a lottery as to whether a game is playable for me or not. I think it's actually worse the better the connection you have because it can be particularly shit when you are host. This leads me to believe it's a lag compensation issue that they have attempted to put into the game and fucked it up royally. Black Ops had it too, but not nearly as bad as this.
El Fangel

I have green pretty much every map, but a quick check in the menus shows that a couple people have three and one has a two.

This happens a lot to me. I feel like my client is roughly 1 second behind whatever is happening in the game. People will start shooting me before I even see them because on their screen, they're already around the corner. On mine, I'm just raising my gun to shoot because I JUST saw them.
Or worse, I'll know a guy is coming due to UAV or whatever, and I'm aiming at a corner, and the guy comes around... I pull the trigger.. and he just shreds me since he's "ahead" of me and saw me before I saw him even though I was prepared.
