my lag is terrible on this game and takes ages to connect to a game, getting raped due to it in games.

Strangely I haven't faced any lag issues whatsoever, where as I have some real problems on MW2 :confused:

yes it's very inconsistent, this game is won usually by whomever has the least latency in match ususally they will be the ones with a 5+ kdr, .

I find domination is won by people who go for captures.

When we all played last night it seems you guys were rarely going for them, although the connection was pretty ass a Semtex will still defend a point well too.

Yep really is on this compared to MW2. This is back to how COD4 played for domo now killstreaks are not stacking and over powered. Even the dogs on this aren't nuts.

I have bad latency but still have a 2+ win ratio due to going for points. Half of my losses have been when we have been kicked from games or the dropping due to party problems when that have cleared up a bit.

Even the 10 or so games we had yesterday just the pair of us we only lost one game I think as we just got on with capturing points.

How do you become the host of a game?

Umm I was going for captures.

Sorry I was talking about gamemodes that are kill death related.

I did have a 2+ win loss but it has dropped as the game is a joke as an even playing field.

If only it was true, have the best connection "according to the game" (generally you can pull host if you upload a large file on your pc as its searching for lobbies/selecting host apparently)

Lately it's been crap for me even as host. MW2 had a similar issue in early days. Let's hope they can fix it.

Hardest veteran ever.

Wish it didn't have trophies.

NickM · 20 Nov 2010 at 20:26

WTF, this guy killed me twice with valkarie missiles and on the kill cam he controlled them very accurately and they moved really slowly but when ever I've tried to use them they're all over the place and really fast, am I using them wrong?

I got to be honest since the patch I have had better games but it's still not right, there has to be someway they can balance the latency on the game for everyone.

Hardline pro with care package and sentry gun means 3 chances for good killstreaks !!
Could end up with 2 ammo crates tho !!

Does the SAM turret require an airdrop, if so, 4 chances !!

Stewy · 20 Nov 2010 at 22:12

This game is so favourable to campers it makes me a sad panda

nick_000000 · 20 Nov 2010 at 22:21

Is this game worth buying? If so on PS3 or PC

What is the corridor section? I've seen a lot of people say they got stuck there?

I was stuck on a corridor bit after when you destroy that Rocket with the stinger and have to leave the base.

Jeez it took me hours and hours to get past one little part. What made it hard was your NPC's compatriots who absolutely sucked got in the way all the time.

In that particular part the level progressed as your compatriots moved up the corridor yet in parts they wouldnt move up so enemys constantley spawned.

The single player in this game is very crap it just looks good.

You do know if you choose sentry gun or SAM, then that's what you'll get, right?

Nope, just checked, it works, hardline pro lets you change the content of any crate dropped, so you get care package at 3, 4 and 5 kills.

Only killstreak u get 2 chances with is care package. You have to double press square on ps3 or x or 360.

feeling a bit guilty about using this method tho, not fair having dogs and gunship from sentry and SAM crates
