I want the hardware to be the limiting factor not the game.

I said it as I know you 3 all have Z5500s so wanted to let you know I had similar issues on a decent amp.

Had a couple of instances recently where the warning and jet plan noise for the napalm drop doesn't happen. Suddenly, flames everywhere. Could be related.

i have heard the jet go over then napalm kill me and respawned and then heard the jet go over again

Dreadi · 3 Dec 2010 at 12:03

^ thats happens everytime i get killed by napalm, used to do it on mw2. Think its watching the killcam which causes it to break and replay the sound again

I only ever play FFA by myself. Any other mode is just annoying as nobody helps out with things like shooting down enemy air support

I love playing DOM and want everyone else to play DOM not just camp and kill nr the dom point. Seems everyone rushes to the first Dom point then goes into FFA. Its not like many people actually are on mikes ( except the h8trs ) to try and get to team play. I really need to get into a more semi serious group of like minded DOM / CTF players.

I mean how many times do I get shot whilst taking down choppers ! All the dammed time, and what are the team doing ...??? hiding inside , hoping it goes awau ....... " RETURN FIRE AT THE ENEMY " arrghhhh

Anyone know of any good jammer techniques ?

Anyone about for a game this afternoon?

I had a good game on HCHQ last night. It was on nuketown, some people take this game way to seriously!

I managed to defend the HQ on my own waving off 3 attacks, some guy rage quits and then I get a message 'ur ****' lol...

Is there anyway to only allow messages from people on your friends list?

The air support isn't really a problem in either game, the problem is that people can't be arsed to shoot it down. There is no excuse for it in Black ops, one of the default classes has the M72 LAW, no secondary weapon is even worth having over the Strela and you also have a SAM turret you can stick somewhere out of the way and it will shoot down anything twice as fast as a player would.

Really all you need is 2 people to drop what they are doing as soon as the chopper gets called in and it's gone.

The problem is - there's no cold blooded-esque perk, where it makes it easier to shoot them down, it's bloody annoying trying to shoot down air support when a huey is circling about killing everything in sight... and I beg to differ about the secondary weapon, the crossbow and fully auto CZ75 are extremely fun.

I will double check the settings against yours later in game see if I can find what's causing it

My other games are fine.

You should set up a quick private match get a huey up and spraying randomly at the ground then whilst it's up switch through the sound options to see if that helps, no problem with Astros pinpoint sharp in DD5.1 Headphone.

Yes, you can change the comms settings to do just this - I can't remember exactly how to get to it from the top of my head but it's there somewhere. You can either do it directly from your xbox or signed in through xbox.com

I think I have the same setup as well. Don't worry about Si, he will take every chance he gets to go on about his 'expensive equipment'

I'm on lowly Xlc's in "loud" mode and i cant hear enemy air support, however I had to fool around with the settings loads to make my team mates audible over Ice Cube telling me that my spy plane is ready, maybe this is something to do with it, gunfire seems to be at regular levels though :confused:

I'm amazed you can hear anything above the rage!

dannyjo22 · 3 Dec 2010 at 14:08

My in game audio was set to TV I'm presuming that was my issue. Switched it to theatre now, hopefully that should fix it and I can help Wydro shoot air support to stop the old fella having a heart attack!
