Has anyone noticed any bugs with using Cold Blooded/Blind Eye? Several times now when using the multiple perks wildcards, I've noticed people seem to know that I'm about to come round corners,

There seems to be something weird with line of sight in this game. I've noticed the sometimes I get killed by an enemy who I can't see at all yet in the killcam i'm visible to them. it's not just when i'm lagging either :confused:

Which is pointless as all the buildings seem to be made of cheese anyway. Initially I used to stop firing expecting my bullets not to penetrate when someone went into cover. Now I just keep firing through the paper walls.

I'm only level 32 and will play this like I did with MW3, until I get to 55. That will take me to christmas most likely anyway. I'm enjoying playing cod again in a party but not this version. I've got the urge though to go back to MW1 or 2 even though they are ravaged by QSing.

I could have put up with the game if it wasn't for the maps. I wish I could find a stat for maps played because I reckon 60% of the time I get hijack which has to be the worst map I've ever played in COD. It might have worked in the dark like wet work.

Which leads me to, why are there no night maps and weather variation.

Agree with all these points. I would love more variation in weather and time of day. Imagine how cool it'd be fighting in a sandstorm or a blizzard, or at night where dual band scopes become much more powerful. It'd be great if the maps actually favoured some setups and weapons more than others due to the weather/tod.

Coming on next gen consoles.

So is theater mode broken? Wanted to watch a game yesterday where someone got 150 -5 with a few high end kill streaks in a ground war game. I was on the wrong team unfortunately. :/

I just spam the trigger with the svu it's so unreliable.

HAHA. I think I'd rather play the xbox to be honest.

I know the feeling, it's less hassle

It's been in others already and Gears. It's just lazy. Blops 1 maps had interactive elements as well, this has nothing.

Even wasteland had more areas of cover in objective games than these maps

oldbag · 3 Dec 2012 at 21:34

Lol just got 27 kills with the svu. The enemy players were shocking.

Thats client side hit detection for you.

You move on your screen, but of course this takes a moment or two to register and display on his screen.

He opens fire and shoots at you, you die after you've gone round the corner because on his screen, you were still out in the open.

BF3 got major pelters for this, as they used client side hit detection, even with dedicated servers like Gears.

Well i've had a few games and apart from one game where it was laggy due to one player, i actually managed to do fairly well, came top of the scorebard 3 times, with a positive KD, but started to get fed up of no one else doing the objectives.

And i'm getting the hang of sniping, but I cant be bothered waiting round, prefer to run and gun!!

I have a gold Type 25 and now working through the Vector, it's a bit of a chore!

So it's not just me! I thought everyone else's game was bugged and only I could see the flags in Domination ... or move.

Trying to max out the R870. One of the camo's for it requires getting 50 kills with no perks equipped. This game is bloody hard without perks! If I wasn't showing up on maps because of the UAV's then I was getting killed by bouncing betty's :mad:

Finally managed it. Now I just need 7 more Bloodthirsty Medals(5 kills without dying) using only the gun for the kills.

I'm not enjoying this game as much as MW. Treyarch have always been a massive disappointment to me. The only two good maps they've ever released were Firing Range and Nuketown. If you look at the pin graph of Hijacked, it's a reskinned Nuketown but isn't as good.

I'm the oposite lol. Black ops, for me, was by far the best CoD I have played. But they dropped the ball on this one. It should be very good, but its just so damn buggy.

I tend to agree with this. There's just something about BLOPS2 which means I lose a lot more 1 on 1s and die quicker. I seem to need more bullets to kill someone than in Gears of war... BLOPS 1 was the first cod I really got into the multiplayer.

I don't like domination in blops 2. Think Hardpoint is better because of the less predictable spawns and lower ability to camp the objective although it could do with randomising the hard point order. Haven't unlocked it for long yet because I'm prestieging guns but I think FMJ + Millimetre scanner could be a lot of fun in this mode when people are sat in the objective.

I think I enjoyed MW3 more then BLOPS2. I find the guns a bit boring, kill streaks a bit meh, hardly any new game modes. Think I might have reached saturation point!

I thought the maps were pretty good in black ops 1 and aslo sniping was a lot harder in black ops 1. Sniping in black ops 2 is a joke.

This game is miles better than MW3 IMO. Not as good as MW2 though.
And I disagree about the maps. There are only a few in this game I dislike and there were only a few in Blops I disliked as well. And Nuketown is a horrible map,I really don't know why people like it :confused:

The maps in MW3 are the worst maps in the entire COD series since COD4.

oldbag · 4 Dec 2012 at 08:00

This cod is the best yet tbh. Mw2 comes close and would win without the bs oma, tubes, claymore campers, some op guns and op killstreaks.

I don't like drone and cargo much, but the rest are fine tbh. Love the vibrant colours and the graphics - they've done well there.

Mw3 maps were made worse by the lag compsensation - as you died really quickly, when you were on the bad side of lag comp, it was insta death all over the place.

There seems to be more campers on blops2 though, seems to get worse after each cod release.
