Call of Duty: Black Ops II

I think this game was optimised on LAN. So perfect for MLG matches, awful for everyone else. So much for lag compensation making people move smoothly, all I see is people teleporting across the map. This is a great shame, because when it works, it's just as fun, if not more, than mw3.

It's just insta death bs now, yet I still have to plow bullets into people to get a kill but the video that was posted explains why its like this. Connection wise it's definitely the worst cod ever.
 
I don't know what they've done with host either since sometimes you can dominate as host or there's literally no point even playing as host. I also think I notice it more because I use the Ballista a lot and that can be hit marker city.
 
Carepackage description needs changing:

"On use, kills Woden, giving a free random scorestreak to an enemy player. On hardcore 25% chance it will be a team mate."

Or maybe, they could fix the spawns? I don't think they are fixable though, the maps are just way too small.

Chuck them off the map and use a Blackhat to get them. Stops most enemies nicking them if they manage to shoot you before you get it.

It's not the maps. It's the spawn system itself. Even on the largest maps(Yemen or Turbine for instance) i've spawned next to enemies or had them spawn next to me. Just like MW3 is seems the spawn system has in a built in feature to allow you to get an instant revenge kill.

The whole thing is designed to be pretty much random now. It's an easy way to cater to the masses of casual gamers, evening out scores so they can feel at least average against even seasoned players

The lag compensation, the spawn system, maps/equipment designed for campers. It's getting silly.
Even some descriptions are flat out false. Flack Jacket protects you against explosions ... except stickies, close nades (well any close explosion), hunter killer, hellstorm, warthog, loadstar and swarm.

It's a system that daren't spawn you on the other side of the map in case you have to walk too far and get bored and stop buying the DLC. Thus they will always try and spawn you "close to the action" for example.

It can for example spawn you below deck on hijacked. How often does it do it though ?

I am sticking with my "Random Averaging Hypothesis" (yes I just named it!) as theres far more to it than just the spawns.

Rarely. Why spawn you below deck when there is almost always someone on one of the handy balconies overlooking a wide open spawn?

A new Black Ops 2 update has gone live today on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 (no word on the PC release).
