Other than the spawn issues, whats wrong with the multiplayer? Mine still hasn't arrived yet, so I'm only going by what I have read. Spawning seems to be the only major problem, but its getting fixed isn't it?

If the host has poor internet it can be a total lag fest. In all fairness, host migration seems to happen a lot quicker, although it doesn't always seem to pick a decent host!

My only problem is that you can vote for the previous map, so you can get stuck on certain maps for a while - especially Nuketown and Firing Range.

Still having a blast with the mp though - new killstreaks and game modes are great.

Sound is terrible, if you get host you get a massive advantage , I was host last night was getting close to 50 kills with fal I coulndt miss , yet a match befor that I couldn't hit a thing when I wasn't host , was never this bad on mw2. The drop shooting is annoying with people seem to go invincible when they start dropping , the issue with partys , I think I am in lobbies more then in a game , you can sit in a party forever if one muppet has strict nat, the constant voting for same map over and over .I think hit markers are worse then mw2 , I had a vid on my theatre were I shot the wall big hit marker X on wall , I knew I shot the wall , yet managed to get a headshot on a guy next to it planting bomb. It's prob nit picking but I don't see point in playing a game that's worse then a game I bought a year ago

I'd hold on to it tbh. All those problems (well most of them) seem to be getting addressed:

# Improved matchmaking to find matches faster
# - Improved match and host selection; will result in much better networking conditions for all games (a.k.a., decreased lag)
# - Weekly and Monthly leaderboards stats reporting incorrectly for kills, deaths and assists (All Time leaderboard not affected by this)
# - Additional improvements to party system

The problems seem to be lag related, so given that its not even a week after release, there are bound to be server issues.

yup

cant believe its blocked !!!

Its fine to have a standard class with that in the name, but if you want to use it, oh no no, its too offensive.

Give me a break !

I can't remember where I heard this so I might of imagined it but... I heard that you can't call any of your classes "Assault" because of the fact that there is already a class called "Assault", Don't quote me for it though...

At least wait for a patch.
To be honest, I'm loving this, I especially like the fact it seems like constant gun battles rather than people relying on air support for their kills.

I love that about the game with the killstreak rewards not adding to kill streaks but I just can't enjoy playing it , one game I am going crazy because can never get the drop on sum1 people seem to know your coming around corners, yet the next game I am untouchable . As everyone prob knows I love hcsd but it's terrible on this, just cannot seem to enjoy playing it

Well the good thing about COD/MW games is that they don't devalue quickly. So you should be able to see how the patches come along and then if you don't like it sell it on for a fair price still.

Lag is my main gripe with this game. I ran up behind someone. Stabbed them....nothing....let a whole clip into their back (Just picked up someones LMG) and still nothing. They then teleported across the room and shot me :(

Apart from that it will certainly keep me busy until BFBC2 Vietnam comes out. Playing the two of these games will satisfy my needs until something else comes out.

Same here to be honest. Yes I do get annoying games but I got that in MW2 anyway. And at least in this game most of my deaths are from actually getting shot. Whereas in MW most of them were from noob tubes,thumpers,RPGs,or the stupidly easy to get killstreaks.

It's a Shame iw/treyarch couldn't team up and just make a super cod lol

Or a shame that IW didnt take more notice of what the fans wanted. I think Treyarch have taken a step closer but it doesnt have the same polish that IW put on it.

But to be honest I prefer gameplay to polished graphics. And BOPS certainly makes a better game. Glitches and bugs will always be in games, hopefully they will iron them out in the next few weeks.
 
Got the game yesterday and just finished the SP. Man it was arse. Predictable plot, obvious plot twists and seizure invoking cut scenes. Also, have they never heard of pacing? It's all EXPLOSIONS EXPLOSIONS EXPLOSIONS. I lost count how many times my choppers got shot down thought the campaign, or how long I spent walking through cut scenes and not actually participating.

Luckily, the MP looks to be good fun.

I noticed in domination you dont always hear "loosing point a/b/c" Is this intentional or another sound issue?

It's always been like that, even on older cods. PITA tbh.

I don't know if it's because another voice over cancels it out or something like that.

I think it never says it if one of your team members can see it happening, I guess its supposed to get teams communicating.
