Don't worry i saved the video

Did you figure out the 72-2 Win -> 55-2 Loss thing out :confused:

I meant to say last night but kept forgetting between games, If you want any games like that capped just let me know

I don't have any way to send it you set up but thats a bridge to cross if and when.

Was good games last night, I still feel so dirty to have got a final kill cam of me QSing

Shame really I wanted it to be a nice hard scoped kill of the guy camping in the middle room but all went to pot when someone walked out of the train. Those semi auto snipers are stupid but there was lag playing its part in that game too, when I was using a sniper (bolt action) I was hitting them but there was a noticable delay until the hit marker showed up :mad:

How come the big youtubers get so much better games? People drop when they are supposed to in the correct amount of bullets and they don't suffer sudden lag attacks where the apponent jumps around the screen etc? I know they record via a pvr so it's not theatre mode. Do they just post good games? Do they suffer the bs as often as we do in Europe? Would they be as good at the game if they played on our connections?

Woodys gamertag posts a lot of custom games with subscribers.

So the only people in the game are people who have decent connections, are good at at the game, and play it properly.

Like this one

Even then there's a few moments when Woody doesn't get the kill when he obviously should have.

Do a quick google for BF3 lag compensation and you will find the same complaints being made as there is about this COD , it does still need it even with dedicated servers.

Since Treyarch / Ifinity Ward haven't told us what the code does, its very difficult to pinpoint exactly what mechanism here is to blame.

We're not talking about the mechanism that interpolates player positions when they have a different ping and attempts to "compensate" for the other player being behind. Modern Warfare 2 had this and this isn't the problem. Its what they added after that thats the problem. Thats what we're moaning about. Will you go away from this thread if we stop calling it lag comp to please you ?

Teach me.

Lol .

We had some great games last night. Apart from one game where I couldn't touch anything, every game was great.

antijoke · 31 Dec 2012 at 10:12

I will have to try to get a game or two tonight or tomorrow, but house training our dog is taking up my time lol. Should just stay on until late when he needs to go outside then go to bed.

We had some great games last night.

I had a 37-5 and got 2 AGRs which is normally completely unheard of for me. That was with 8 captures and 6 defends so i was PTFOing as well.

dannyjo22 · 31 Dec 2012 at 11:02

I hosted a gun game last night. Now going from your earlier "client v host" video theatre mode should have been accurate at my end. When I got to the sniper I had a go at QSing. First go, I QS'd someone like a dirty whore.

End of the game I saved the video.

Last night I went back to the video to look at sharing it and the theatre mode shows me hip firing. When I can work out how you youtube this clips like blops1 I will show you

So that lag shown in that video cannot be accurate to blops2?

Nope

it played the video and it just freezes at 55-2. Can you check your theatre mode and see if it's the same?

antijoke · 31 Dec 2012 at 11:09

Where you host? Common reason for incomplete videos is host leaving.

Fr0dders · 31 Dec 2012 at 11:10

Thats weird.

The game you went 72-2 i only have the 1st half on elite with a win of 149 - 125

The second half isn't there on elite under recent matches ?

I have 1st half and 2nd half of the Raid match before where i went 37-5 and only half of the 1st slums game afterwards too.

The 2nd Slums game however, i have both and went 24-14

People are starting to get very handy with EMP grenades I'll tell you. Quite a few times yesterday I got one and placed it in a pretty good killing spot and as I ran away to another objective with a smirk on my face and I would hear the EMP grenade followed by 'your sentry gun has been destroyed' =( =(

Why would I leave when i'm 72-2?

it may of migrated though as the other team was taking a serious pounding.

dannyjo22 · 31 Dec 2012 at 11:43

How the hell do you share a video on this. I edited it, rendered it. Go to call of duty elite and it's not there.

Surely they can make it a bit simplier than all the faff in the menu's to currently save one?

I am entitled to my opinion as much as you are :confused:

I'm one of them.

Most of my classes have two of them and they have a nasty blast radius and weight.

They are really light, almost as light as concussion / flash bangs and you can throw them halfway across the map.

Combine them with engineer so your sentry gun shows up on my screen as a bright red glowing object through walls almost like a wallhack, and i can destoy guardians and Sentry guns without them ever having killed anybody.

My absolute favorite use for EMPs however, is for clearing out campers, who sit there in a room, with 2 shock charges and a bouncing betty guarding the enterance to their room, usually with a mate who's done the same.

One well placed EMP in the room and i take out all 6, with the points to match as well. Hahah

Maybe you'd like to share another opinion with us as well then ? instead of just having a go at people over the same topic which you think doesn't exist. Yes we heard you that you're fine and don't have it. Can we move on now ?

They're all I use, I earn so many points from destroying equipment and assists. Couple EMP grenades with scavenger and I spend most of my time just destroying equipment

dannyjo22 · 31 Dec 2012 at 12:30

It's all about the claymores! I do love putting them down on one side of the map and then running round to the other side so they spawn on them.

Think I'll swap out my black hats for these for a bit. Although I do love hacking equipment through walls.

dannyjo22 · 31 Dec 2012 at 12:38

One of the most stupid things in this game is...

"The enemy have hacked your equipment"

It shouldn't tell you, I plant a claymore and someone hacks it the first thing I should know is when it blows up at my feet. Why give me a heads up that someone is behind me anyway?

Drunzer · 31 Dec 2012 at 12:48

I think they're a bit overpowered to be honest, EMP grenades I mean. I'm completely fine with them being devastating to all forms of enemy equipment but I don't like the lasting effect on your HUD that it causes, I think that should be reduced by a few seconds. I would like to try them but I mostly play domination so I really need smoke grenades for capturing objectives.

thelankymatt · 31 Dec 2012 at 12:49

Yeah, that is really annoying but most of the 'camp up with shock charges and betties' brigade are so lacking in brain cells that they go and have a look anyway!

Edit: and you can always hold down 'x' to detonate them once hacked

Fr0dders · 31 Dec 2012 at 12:52

As the usage of them increases they will get nerfed as more people work out how easy they are to use.

I think they will have to

A) reduce the distance they can be thrown
B) reduce the blast radius

On another note can somebody explain how the career rankings work on Elite ?

The only stats shown on the table are SPM and Score.

However i'm higher for both than Konvict, yet he's ranked above me. I also have a mate whose only a few hundred ranks below me, yet has a SPM of 126. If the career ranking isn't based on SPM, what is it based on ? and why don't they include it in the table ?
