How late we talking?
I won't be buying that so lets hope so
I've just had a quick bash myself on Black ops after like 10 months or so and I can safely say I will NEVER buy another Call of duty game again now that the MW series has gone down the crapper.
My first game on Black ops and as soon as I spawned I tried to sprint and barely 5 steps were taken before I stopped to catch my breath
There's also the problem of not being able to shoot down any air support until level 30 because the default launcher is a complete and utter bag of ****. In one game they called in 2 chopper gunners and 2 attack helicopters one after the other, and there I was sat there with my dick in my hand because I only had a single rocket that wont even destroy one of them 
and people say MW2 had a killstreak problem.
10-11 start

It was the perk side of it that bothered me most without fail you had Cold Blooded at 25 out of 70 in MW2 and Ghost Pro had to be earned via 3 challenges one of them third party.
The Destroy Aircraft sounded easy, but meant sitting back a bit. There was a fine line between having some spy planes up that you can shoot down and there being something up you can't shoot down or getting done because the very thing you're looking for with what you have to shoot it down with is working against you.

Why is dmg so hit or miss,whenever i seem to get shot by a sniper i die in 1 shot even if hit in the leg and sometimes it takes me 2/3 shots to kill someone, then theres nade dmg in hardcore its an instant kill if it goes of near me ( 5 feet away) even when ive got blast shield on and my nades dont kill even if they are closer and the guy doesnt even have blast shield.
Also another pet peeve is sit rep perk why is it so hard to get it up to pro, have hade it since lvl 1 ( 2nd prestige) im at lvl 60 and still 20 short of the 50 as no one seems to be using anything i can blow up

you are only half way through the prestige so I am sure you will get it by the end. EMP grenades and the EMP is your friend on that quest

Did anyone else notice that everyone on CoD was rubbish today? I played about 20 games (all regular 6v6 TDM) and got over 25 kills in 12 of them. Over 30 kills in 8 or so. My average KD was probably about 4. I'm not saying this to boast but to illustrate how much better I was doing today than I usually do. Most of the time I get >25 kills maybe once every 5 games, and average KD is 1.55.
Is it just me/luck, or did anyone else rape unusual amounts of face today?

^That has been me for most of the night.
I've had amazing games all night, but the teams you get stuck with are worse then useless because they're taking up space on your team that could be given to someone who is actually going to do something other then die. I've had a lot of fun playing until 6am, but the randoms ruin everything, "Lets all vote for Domination and not capture anything beyond the first flag!"
I absolutely hated losing to bad teams most of the night just because I can't be in 2 places at once to defend the flag while I'm capturing another. I think that there was only 1 match that I didn't mind losing because the guy on the other team actually had some skill for a change and deserved the win.
Barebones is an amazing gametype even though it's ruined a little by Domination and Deathstreaks.

That will be the host disadvantage tweak I posted above in #6921. I thought it had improved things generally along with running my connection in game mode with reliability off, but two games on a bad host wiped out all the ground I'd recovered after the DLC patch had done its worst.
On occasion where I did pull host or it felt like host I could really attack for a change with no double history lessons.
EDIT: Some detail on what they did.
Someone posted this graph as proof of hosting.
It just goes to show that increasing download on the same upload speed is pretty pointless.

Sorry I'm not too good with the technical side of the "lag compensation" issue. Did the recent tweak make the host at less of a disadvantage than before? That would explain it then. I used to have a KD over 2 in Blops partly due to finding it an easier game but also due to being chosen as host the great majority of time. Then in MW3 it's 1.5. Maybe it's so much lower because I'm still being host most of the time but now it puts me at a disadvantage rather than advantage. But now the patch has changed it more towards how Blops was?
My friend that i've mentioned before in this thread is on bt infinity,she always gets picked as host and always gets screwed over. We played earlier and she was struggling to kill people. She dashboarded twice and both times she was host.
The game should not be punishing people for being host. People moan about the host dashboarding but if the game didn't put them at a massive disadvantage then they wouldn't need to dashboard.
On another note - the KSG-12 is awesome now. Been having a right laugh with it. Reminds me of the SPAS12 from MW2
Tell her to stop being such a silly cow and ruining it for everyone else.
Tad harsh. Why would someone stay in a game if theyre being disadvantaged.

Tell IW to sort their game so it doesn't screw the host
Seriously though,she doesn't dashboard because she's the host it's only when she's doing really badly. I'm the same. You can't blame players for the game putting them at a disadvantage.

nope you keep all unlocks and the group you are in (as long as the host was not the party leader) stays together. The only things you loose are KDR and you get a loss.
