Still on the fence with this one.......
I enjoy Borderlands 2 quite a bit, and it gives me my FPS and RPG fill. Is BlOps 2 that... damn.... good??
Depends. Did you like Modern Warfare 3/2 or other CODs? Do you like action oriented unrealistic FPS game or tactical slower pace FPS games?

What is the verdict chaps? I have decided to get back into Modern Warfare 2 recently, and my performance has been very good by my standards. Comfortably and regularly getting my killstreak rewards, performing well under pressure. I've switched to the TAR 21, and it's cluttered sights made me get over my aversion to using scopes, which has helped. The AA12 shotgun as a secondary weapon can get me out of a pinch as I usually don't come out on top in a knife fight. The use of scavenger has been an important part of the strategy - the psychology that I am going to need a lot of ammunition means I am always in for the long haul. The real difference is the replenishment of flash grenades, which are now a vital part of my strategy. I wonder if I should go for stun instead.
I would be tempted to go for Black Ops II but the thing that's good about MW2 is that it works very smoothly and I remember wanting to put my head through the TV with the amount of technical problems it had.

Fallen Angel, as usual, has a gift for overstatement regarding target finders. I've found that there isn't a single set-up that is overused or overpowered. It's probably the most well-balanced Call of Duty to date.

ECG said somewhere about all europeans. On MW2 I am constantly up against europeans. The ones that don't let you know by rambling on in another language will then always choose a nationalistic flag and clan tag. They're also children and they do stupid voodoo things like trying to quickscope with an SMG. It's probably down to everyone playing the new stuff, and PS3s being far more common in Europe than the UK.

It's more if you watch replays constantly, there's a very distinct delay (perhaps as much as a second at times) between when you initiate an action, or pull the trigger, or whatever, and when it actually does it.
To the point where I watch killcams where I unloaded on a guy, and on his screen I didn't fire a single shot. The majority of them are really split second occasions where it could be just your typical network latency. Things they really can't help.
But a stupidly large amount of deaths are from what seems to be other people literally a full second ahead of me in game. Like they're coming around a corner and shooting before I even see them on my screen, and then I'll watch their kill cam and it shows them coming around and shooting smoothly and with no problems, oftentimes without my shots even getting off even though I shot several.
As proof of this fact, while playing multiplayer split screen, I have witnessed the delay live and in action by seeing the delay from when I shoot on my screen and when it shows up on my buddy's screen.
Etc.. etc.. rinse, repeat. Then of course there's the legit lag, with people jumping around on my screen like fucking crazy, which seems to happen regardless of the color of connections in the room. Could be all green and still rubber banding.

As I said last week, I actually had a game on Hi-Jacked where I was shot BEFORE I went round a corner ( from my perspective). It wasn't possible to be shot through the wall and the guy was shooting straight down the space in front of him. He must have been seeing a full half-second to second ahead of me for this to happen. I get killed quite often coming round corners almost immediately, where it's obvious I'm lagging but being hit before I could possibly see the opponent while he had a full gander at me took the biscuit. And as I said, I think it is a consequence of having a good connection and it's largelu dowb to a really shitty attempt to compensate for connection speed and latency because it's awful when I'm host.

I do use cold-blooded on most classes DUE to this. It honestly feels like I have to have it unless I want Stevie Wonder hammering me with 100 lmg shots everytime a hair of my crosses his screen.
Ridiculous at times. Have even called out a few people on it and one guy I even went so far as to offer a two week live code if he could go positive using a setup I made for him.
Left after he went 0-6 to start.
Reminds me so much of Thermal.
Otherwise like you said, sans lag which is just sad, this is the most well done game in the series.

I wonder if this has to do with spawns as well. Probably 1-2 matches a session I get killed before I spawn by someone shooting me. The killcam just shows me standing still for like 1-2 seconds before I start to move and its always when I have a two-three bar connection.

I've been having longer MW2 sessions and still thinking about getting Black Ops 2. Having a great session, and slowly making up for hours of poor performance years ago. Then I get kicked from the middle of a decent game, no big deal. Then I fall into a trap where I am being used as a replacement player for people who are quitting in a huff. About three matches in a row, I come into a game where my team is 2000 points behind and there's a harrier, a pave low and a stealth bomber up my arse. I try to stick it out, as I said it happened for three matches, but it always gives a bit of a comedown to a nice evening, and although stats don't really matter it feels like it erases a lot of my hard work. Of course, evading these things is half the game, but there's something about coming into the middle of a match that's extra disorientating.

Yup, this is exactly it. I have a really decent connection for the US. 12MB down, and I get faster sometimes. 1 MB upload which is pretty standard in most places in the midwest at least. Around here, 12mb is EXCELLENT (which is really terrible when you consider what google fiber is doing).
But I am constantly yellow in this game, and at times when I am hosting, it doesn't seem to make fuck all difference. I agree with you about their compensation.. Seems like they tried to anticipate it and fucked it all to hell and back.

From my understanding, upload speed is what's needed for a good connection. Hardwire your xbox, if you're on a router set up the QoS and funnel most upload speed to the system.

I'm getting 4 Mb/s upload speed now and it's still shocking. I know a lot of people aren't having any issues but it's seriously fucked for me and a lot of others. At some point the developers have to take responsibility. We can all deal with a little latency but this game is absurd.

I tried playing a bit again today and didn't finish a game. It's just too disheartening. It's impossible to play for me. I mainly play Domination and it's just not worthwhile when I try to flank a position, come up behind or from the side of people, and they are able to turn and kill me after my bullets tickle them a bit (or if I do manage to take out one person, I've used up a whole clip so have to re-load while his mate kills me). The number of assists I was getting after emptying half a clip into someone was getting me down as well, it sort of adds insult to injury.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but isn't everything unlocked for you at master prestige? If so, then the people who hacked that would get the diamond camos by default.

Interesting, I put my PS3 in a DMZ and forwarded the ports on my connection here at home (tried it before in my own house, didn't make any difference) and now I've turned it around so now I'm getting the ridiculous lag advantage. I'm now getting 20-30 odd kills a game (though sometimes a similar number of deaths). For whatever reason, in this part of the country I get put in games with Irish and British people rather than French and Germans also.

I just need a "bloodthirsty" medal to finish the crossbow and then I'll move on to ballistic knife.
Just got this but had to cheat. I didn't realize Sticks and Stones kills would count toward it so I added a 2nd controller to help me. The first map was the yacht map so I hid in the engine room so it looked like I could also be on top and no one really goes down there while 2nd controller would run into the room and then I would kill him. 5 kills in one life is fucking impossible with the crossbow in a normal game.
Working on the ballistic knife now and if there is a similar challenge that I have to unlock later then that's probably the strategy I'm going with.

Peacekeeper is nasty. Fire rate of an smg, but with longer range and almost zero recoil. Anticipating a shit storm from people who didn't buy the dlc.

Other: Combat Bow is starting to catch on to me
El Capitano Gatisto
02-02-2013, 02:00 PM
My fav SMG is the PDW because of the lack of recoil and big mag. For assault rifle I say M27 or AN94. Fav shotgun is the Remington. Don't do LMGs because being slow in this game = death. People on lightweight with light weapons fuck the hit detection massively, plus lag is absurd, so LMGs are a waste of time in my opinion. I like the second sniper rifle the best but crazy spawning makes sniping difficult without being a dickhead quickscoper. The amount of quickscoping in this game is very upsetting.
The Rogerer
02-02-2013, 03:12 PM
There's so many ways they could have dealt with quickscoping that leaving it in was intentional. I'd personally have given snipers a movement speed penalty for the ghillie suit and the big gun on top of fixing quickscoping.
Also I could use LMGs quite a bit in MW2 but found them useless in Blops. Maybe it was the grip+quicker ADS you could have on the RPD which made it into a death machine. They don't have a massive benefit over a assault rifle, I mostly got into them to punish myself out of bad reload discipline.
El Capitano Gatisto
02-02-2013, 03:36 PM
SMGs are massively over-powered, there are plenty of long sight-line maps that should see LMGs raping them, especially if you're stationary and crouched, but SMGs are far too stable over range so the speed advantage and hit detection issue with speedy movement means they outgun almost everything. The M27 wins out because it's this games ACR with the zero recoil. Stick Toughness on and the only thing beating you is lag.
El Capitano Gatisto
02-02-2013, 03:52 PM
And yeah sniper rifles should be very heavy and have enormous recoil if fired standing. I hate the fact quickscoping is embraced since it's essentially an awful glitch of the auto-aim mechanic.
By the way, there's easily 20x times the proportion of arseholes playing on XBox than PS3. Don't know why it is but it's true.
The Rogerer
02-02-2013, 05:31 PM
It's absolutely true in my experience. 360 is just the mass market choice in the UK and US and then there's a magnetic effect where the further unwashed join up because their friends are on it.
Sniper rifles have a very wide hip fire radius so the bullet can randomly go anywhere in that circle. Quickscoping works because the aim tightens up to that central point while it's still coming up to the eye. The simple thing would be to randomly set the central point to somewhere in that radius, so a scope aim would be as random as a hip shot until it's manually adjusted. This wouldn't penalise normal snipers at all but would eliminate the benefit of quickscoping. At least they still deserve a chance firing at point blank range but it's so annoying to see them try their ~skillzzz~
Team Fortress 2 has the solution where as soon as you lift your scope you do a weak shot, and you need to have been looking down the scope for a few seconds to be able to do a full power shot, which is good but wouldn't suit the gun nut po faced CoD system.
SMGs are just so good because, ultimately, so much of the combat is short range, and the long range combat is never that long range. LMG damage doesn't drop off over range, assault rifle has a drop off at a far distance where it takes 4 bullets over 3, and then SMGs have a tighter dropoff, but it's never much of a disadvantage, and the quicker motion and aiming more than makes up for it. The UMP45 and silencer in CoD was deadly - Silencers were supposed to make the damage dropoff happen at a shorter distance but this was negliable with the UMP, so you were getting a silenced weapon with no downside.

PSN is the better community by a very wide margin. If all my friends weren't on 360, I would have sold that instead of my ps3.

Really don't think ghost is worth it in this game. You have to constantly be moving which means you are pidgeon holed into that rush down play style. And it's a lot easier to spot a moving target than the guy carefully moving from cover to cover.
I think it's better to equip a launcher and just take down uavs. Especially considering you get a lot of points for doing so.
On another topic, I can't believe how few people use smoke for objectives. It's soooooo useful. I've capped tons of points with bullets flying harmlessly by. I even got a tomahawk kill through the smoke by aiming at the muzzle flash. Yeah grenades are problem, but even those cant be thrown accurately through smoke. I've survived quite a few grenades, just because guy didn't throw it close enough.

I can adapt pretty easily to both. Most of my classes have an AR and dual pistols for when ghost comes up. Very often I would get caught shooting down a UAV, but with ghost I can stay in a controlled area while still being off the radar.
Smoke is ridiculously useful, but I rarely play objective games unless I have a full squad.
El Capitano Gatisto
02-05-2013, 03:29 PM
I think Ghost is useful since people are keeping their eye on the map when the UAV is up. UAVs don't come up as much as before the first patch obviously but you can surprise people. Obviously when the ridiculous lag effects are taken into account at times this can still be negated, but often I get surprised by people with Ghost on from my own point of view.
I also generally like being a sneaky bastard who know one can find. I like having a suppressor plus Ghost so that the other team, if they aren't communicating, just see their chums disappearing off the map and start to get worried. It always appalls/fascinates me how many times I can sneak up on two guys playing split-screen and still get them both when they're fairly close together sniping on the likes of Drone or Turbine.

God the net code for this game is garbage.
FA, in case you were wondering why you were doing poor in Dom, there's your answer. When I was in your game, you were killing it and i couldn't win a gun fight even with an orbital vsat. When I invited you, suddenly your shots weren't registering, and I was first place every match.
I played cod 4 recently, and it was like night and day. I didn't lose or win any encounter I shouldn't have.
In this game, the end result depends on if the net code is in your favor. Obviously it's nice when it is, but when it's not it can be very frustrating.
I'm not the only one who's noticed it either. There's videos all over YouTube on it. Playing with FA today pretty much confirmed for me what they've been saying.

I've been banging on about it on here as well. It makes the game unplayable for me a lot of the time. If it weren't for my mates getting me an XBox to play it with them on, there's no way I'd still be on this game. It's absurd they still haven't attempted to patch this. What makes it worse is that we STILL get matched with people from all round Europe most of the time. 6 of us played a clan from Italy and it finished something like 75-24 because they were flying around the screen like lightning and shooting before they came round corners. The killcams were pathetic. I got killed by a guy who from my point of view I had found side on and who ran past me while I was shooting him. From my end I just died and assumed I'd been shot by a sniper behind me, then the killcam showed the guy turning and nailing me.

To have the things needed to play, It required $475 to play for 5 months. I know net and XBL is not purely for but is needed regardless.
That isn't even counting any DLC.
I had made minimal progress in almost two dozen games, because I could just pick up and play CoD anytime. Felt like i was wasting so much time playing CoD and while i did enjoy it at times, it really is far too expensive to rebuy effectively the same shit every year.
Plus, CoD just made me frustrated as shit at times and now is gone.

I love how Fallen Angel's COD stories start with him being too good at the game.

I pay $25 a month. It goes up to $45 every 6 months, I call, and they reduce it.
$72 dollars. Jesus. That's like $.25 an ejaculation.

<font color=goldenrod>I've had the game since Christmas but don't play all the time. A couple times a week for like 90 minutes at a time, if that. My K/D ratio is always crap so I earn most of my points through objectives, especially plants and defuses in demolition. If I get into a lobby filled with gayass spawn trappers, I just leave.
Just prestiged recently since I got bored of the points I was earning meaning fuck all.</font>

Forget the $72 Internet. Who pays $10 a month for xbox live? You can easily find a year card for $45, $30 if with patience.

My theory is, he has to be good at something. At least, statistically. So this seems plausible.
Far as the internet cost, I know I'm 'Murrican, but 60 dollars a month or I can downgrade my service to, like, dialup speeds. But I'm in a rural part of a country with one of the worst cost:service ratios in the industrial world, so what do I expect?
El Fangel
04-23-2013, 09:56 AM
I didn't say too good, I said very above average. Average is 1.0k/d and since I play exclusively TDM, that would mean a 1.75k/d is quite a bit above.
And yes, outrageous prices for crap service is the norm around here.

So you are an above average TDM player not CoD all together?

Never bothered with squad based gameplay since doing so with randoms rarely bodes well. However TDM is the most popular gametype.

I agree. My k/d in Kill Confirmed is horrible due to the randoms just spawn camping and not getting the tags which leaves me to do it and I wind up dying alot.

Kill Confirmed on Hijacked is one of my favorite ways to play BO2.
Hardpoint as well

I think most matches, I had the best ratio of anyone. Mostly because I move tactically to always be facing towards where the enemy while cutting off my flanking routes with shock charges or claymores which if not causing a kill, notifies me of their approach.
Honestly, not playing like an idiot is sufficient enough to have a decent positive ratio.

i.e camping
Which is why I never played TDs now. Kill Confirmed or Mosh Pit before they got rid.
Love getting the Doggies on Kill Confirmed and seeing the mini-map light up with gold tags.

It would be supreme overkill to have the dogs and swarm at the same time on KC.

Yeah I've seen that happen with one of the guys I play with. Now that I have the X-Box I'm usually playing with 4-5 other friends and one guy is ridiculous, so he sometimes runs VSAT, Dogs, Swarm. We all run VSATs, I usually go Sentry Gun, AGR or Stealth Chopper depending on the map, then Warthog, Doggies or VTOL depending on how I feel about it.
What usually happens when you get Dogs or Swarm anyway is that people start leaving. When Dogs and Swarm are both on at once, see ya.
Having maximum AGRs or maximum Sentry Guns on the map is probably funnier.
El Fangel
04-23-2013, 08:17 PM
I absolutely love the AGR because no one is smart enough to toss an EMP at it. :D
El Capitano Gatisto
04-23-2013, 08:19 PM
That's pretty rare I find. EMPs are the most used thing in this game now. I seem to spend 50% of my game time being EMPed. Normally it's unusual for an AGR to last longer than 1-2 kills unless the other team is really shit, which is also when you get the beauty of 3 AGRs rolling around at once.

At some point I switched to hardcore KC and I find it infinitely frustrating to play core these days.

Strange, whenever I got them I rarely ever had someone use an EMP. Knifing or Shooting seemed to be the preferred option.

Steam is letting people play Black Ops 2 Multiplayer for free this weekend... I have it for XBOX and rarely play first person shooters on the PC, might try it out for the ride or something.

I wish I'd know about this, damnit. I dug out MW2 this weekend and made a push to prestige, which took me a good few hours. I quite enjoyed it and my standard of performance was pretty decent, although I started to flag towards the end the more experimental and impatient I got. Also on Sunday I saw a lot more people hacking with messages for aim assist things coming on screen, which seems to be a hangover of the SOny security compromise.
I was wondering whether to pick up MW3 or think about dropping £20 on Black Ops 2. I personally enjoyed Black Ops more than MW2, but it was a lot less stable (especially on PS3) than MW2 was and seemed to have more lag problems. Any opinions? I'm also not that interested in single player, I never bothered to finish that on Black Ops 1.
Edit: Looking through the thread, I can see that a lot of the BO1 problems are still there. I get matched with a lot of Europeans in MW2, but the games still run flawlessly most of the time.

Do the enemies still show as red dots?

Probably. The most common problem is distinguishing red from green, so they need a different set of colours for the gamertags.
Edit: I've ordered MW3, I've never played it before so it'll be strange to come to a fresh set of maps after such a long time. Pretty sick of the MW2 maps now.

I got MW3, the new killstreak system seems interesting, and it's nice to have a new perk system after so long.
I am doing pretty poorly as usual, but I feel I can blame the new maps, vs people who have been playing for 18 months. I have come out on top a few times, but eventually if I loose my cool or concentration I just start to run into everything. I have been thinking about my perks and what not, I might try and go SMG for a while as it occurs to me now that I spend so much time meeting people face to face, I should be working on coming on to them from the side, and learning the maps accordingly.
I wonder how the matchmaking works on this because I was up against this Al Pacino chap who would get about 30 kills a match and I was on the opposing team to him about 7 times in a row until he left. I'm sure he had to leave and evaluate his life and add up how much he had spent to play because he was so awesome.
The Rogerer
05-18-2013, 11:01 AM
I decided just to go back to MW2. Although I'm new to the maps, I don't know if I liked them as much. I don't want to put the time in to learning them when I can just stick with MW2 until Ghosts comes out.
Will be moving on to Mass Effect 3 multiplayer soon

I thought the maps in MW3 were probably the best map set out of any game. Mission and Village are two favorites.
