Call of Duty: Black Ops II

I've got over 400 hours logged with BF3 for which I only have a reasonable 1.4 KD. I can tell the difference between somebody just being plain better and the game shafting me.

The sort of things that are down to the game shafting me just don't happen in BF3

Ok then :)

Don't think KD ratio means much in either game. One of our group has a 0.7 KD ratio but is always near the top of the leaderboard.
 
You make it sound like every lobby is the same skill level, sometimes better players join and change the balance of the game, or sometimes people just prefer certain maps and do better than on other maps.

It's probably nothing to do with who is the host at all.

That is a load of rubbish. I can tell if i'm being out played or if i'm on the wrong side of lag and it's the game that's making me play badly. If i'm dying fairly then i'm not bothered but if i'm dying because of lag then I just get annoyed.

The leader board tells you how much you play the objective and help your team.

Your KD tells you how often you die vs how often you kill somebody. Ib BF3 I average about 2 KD in good games, 1 KD when I'm having a bad game so it averages out at about 1.4

How many hours of Blops 2 MP have you logged btw ?

No it's not a lot of rubbish, lobbies change, skill level of players in the lobby changes.

Post up some theatre clips of all this unfair lag you seem to be suffering?

So when you are having a bad game in BF3 what is the reason for it?

Exactly, when I'm running behind someone pouring bullets into their back and they can still turn 180 and drop me in 2 bullets, I have a fair idea what's on my screen is not the same as what's happening on their screen :D

My personal favourite is when you are trying to get a camping sniper over looking a spawn. You edge out from side cover see you don't have the shot and edge back to complete cover. Only to then slump to the floor in death half to a second later. The other player must be thinking to himself, what's this nobbler doing sticking his head out for so long? :D

It's as obvious when this game is doing you as it is obvious when I'm on the complete polar opposite and they are getting done by me. I've had games where I'm almost unkillable and players run past me as though I'm not there. I call those times out too when I'm playing with the group from here.

All my cods have been pretty even in roughly the good games to bad except this one. I'd say 6 in 10 are not even worth me wasting the budget on bullets, 3 in 10 seem even and 1 in 10 I can't die.

It's also very easy to spot sometimes on host change.
 
3500+ posts in and i've not bought BO2 yet.
I liked BO, I like BF3, I didn't like MW3 after a while.

Has BO2 improved on BO without becoming too much like MW3? If so, I could be tempted to actually purchase it!

Personally I think the only area BO2 has improved over 1 is the pick 10 system. Other than that most changes I think haven't worked very well. The SP is very good as well, worth a try for that alone :)

The lag compensation is worse than BLOPS 1 (personally I found MW3 to be fine). Good connections seem to run .25 seconds behind. Lack of death streaks is nice but you still have rubbish spawns (near enemies, sometimes in sight lines sometimes get revenge spawn killed) and spawn in to lightning and hellfire missiles.

Some would argue its the best MW/blops yet. I'd say its good and different but not earth shatteringly! I miss MW3 actually and the ability to have time to react to people in 1v1s! The hit detection seems better in the former game. The smgs class pretty much rule in this game over assault weapons. Laser accuracy hip fire.

Probably one of the most frustrating cod games out of the last 3 for me personally. Yet I still play it on and off. I only played MW2 to two prestieges, am considering picking that up cheap for a whirl!
 
Like blops1, 2 is rage inducing when you do badly where in mw3 it was just a sigh and expected somehow. When doing well in 2 it's kinda meh or ok, but in mw3 it was fun, on the rare occasions I did well.
 
Was playing last night and I was way behind everybody one match on the Pakistan map i ran past a doorway and I seen a guy walking out , but I ran around a corner so i backtracked and as I was coming back I got shot but I was still around the corner, yet on the kill cam he shoots me soon as I run past but on my screen I ran past stopped then back tracked

I have bad games in BF3 and in black ops 2 were the players are simply better than me.

I play BF3 competitively for X3UK who won the WGL premiership this season undefeated.

So I know a player that's better than me when I see one

I can name players that are simply better than me. Soulja for example is better than me in both BF3 and COD and I can accept that. It's only some games where you are on the wrong end of lag compensation. How do you tell ? Well it comes down to which firefights you win and lose.

I've lost firefights where I've seen the player, got the jump on them,and they've just sponged bullets and turned round and killed me. Equally I've been shot round corners by people who have had time to see me, react, ADS and shoot, all before I've even had chance to pull the trigger on my controller to hip fire. Watch the kill cam back and I'm stood there for ages not reacting
 
If you search the previous COD threads you will find the same complaints by the same people, maybe it's just not the game :)

Probably this to an extent.

I wonder if people wouldn't rage so much if it didn't alternate developers every year. I never played MW3 instead playing Black Ops 1 a lot of the time and I didn't struggle as much transitioning to this game as my MW3 mates did. Most of whom have sold it already as they weren't instantly topping the leader boards.
