Call of Duty: Black Ops II

I think by Call of Duty 3 everyone had become fed up of the constant WWII games, then MW was released and was an absolute breath of fresh air, then Treyarch brought out WaW and I guess a lot of people felt it was stale before it even arrived. I loved it though, aperture sights, attack dogs, vehicles, artillery, the immense FG42... :D

Just tried joining your party mate but think you were AFK, if you're up for some games give us a shout, might have to pop out soon though

So, has lag comp taken over everyone's game now (for the worst?)?

I always feel like I have a 60% chance of losing a 1 on1 gun fight if that's what you mean! Ghost has slightly re addressed the balance but I've performed a lot worse than mw3 thus far. (30mb virgin connection). :/

It's weird, I never really suffered at all on Black ops 1 or MW3. I had the odd bad game when people raged but nothing worse than host advantage on the others. I'm on a poorish connection 31ms 448 up.

This is a whole new ball game for me, I didn't expect problems due to not having them before with lag comp. Now I've had probably one good game in ten. Much like when I used to run into a host, but now a team of them. In my good game last night I could tell they were on the end of it. Players getting the drop on me, firing first and I was winning the 1v1's.

BY far the worst I've seen was 3 of us running into one player on top of the broken plane. Soulja poured fire into him, so did some damage and lost, he then killed me while I tried to finish him off and then the player behind me. He took what looked like 2 full clips in total.

I'm sure it will be tinkered with over the coming weeks and get better for some and worse for others as usual.
 
I don't recall having that many problems on MW3 myself. Blops 1 I could tell when I had an advantage. Blops 2 the only time I've really felt an advantage is in gun game.
 
I'm constantly getting screwed with host. Every bs game that I quit out of you can guarantee that I'm host for, 100meg virgin.

So I host the game for them AND get screwed, that's fair! Mw2 had it spot on.

The icing on the cake with this is that because the host is always screwed over, many more of them are inclined to ragequit... resulting in the ridiculous numbers of host migrations which ruin the flow of the game (or stop it completely throwing everyone out back to the lobby).

I don't understand why the people at Treyarch haven't looked at this and though "well this sucks" like what everyone else thinks, and changed it. They are nominally intelligent people after all, and it's blatantly obvious to anyone with a brain that the current lag comp system is inferior to the older one (MW2/BO1 era), which virtually no-one complained about.
 
A few vocal people complain.

For the vast swathes of absolute cretins that flock to this game the experience is better for them.
 
The lag compensation on this seems to really like my terrible connection. I run and gun like a hip firing gypo and people drop quick. I dont even play tactically, just run at the red dots on the radar and drop them! This never happened for me on btinfinity (40/10). I had to go full 'tryhard' just to break even on that connection. I'd say a good 50% of all the games I have played have host migrated or completely disconnected.... Something is not right if that keeps happening.

Still, I'm laughing like a pirate until they fix it! :)

You're coming across as a real douche recently - something I've noticed anyway. I've ignored the last few posts you've made, but it's really not on how you think it's OK to come in and slate the people that play this game.

I'm going to RTM your posts in future as, for whatever reason, you seem to have taken it upon yourself to try and trash this thread and this game.
 
This is getting beyond a joke. I was good at Blops, above average at MW3.

Blops2? Well I just went 5-22 ffs. I just can't drop people, even when I am behind them and fill them with half a clip.
 
I love the way everyone moans about these games and continues playing.

Make your mind up, do you want to play it or not?

I hate the maps, everyone camps, I lose every 1v1 gunfight, the maps on X game were better, blah blah

If you don't like it go and play a different game, no one's got a gun to your head.

And forget the money we paid? Call me crazy but when I buy a product, and it turns out to be crap, I complain.

You should look at the old COD4 and MW2 threads, plenty of people complained about host advantage :D

COD is so popular because it's one of the few Shooters where the lobbys etc work so well and so fast. Games I loved in the past and would rather have continued to play like Call of Juarez online and GRAW were just absolutely awful in comparison for matchmaking. Quite why games after 6 years are still awful in this respect I can't get. PGR on release was better than 90% of the matchmaking in online games :(

Better connection for me tonight in the connection lottery, almost every game the other team were probably on the receiving end of dodgyness :D

It's not crap though, is it? It's exactly like the last one, and the one before, and the one before that!

If you actually look at the content of most of the complaints, and break it down, the complaint is nearly always:

"I'm not very good at this game"

That's what it is when I moan as well :p
