They just need to change it to connection being the priority and not "skill".

Guess that's the problem with only 160k players online.......

Unless out of all of those 160k people not one of them was from the UK :rolleyes:

It's pretty bad - low tdm scores because of insta deaths, deaths round corners, bullets not registering (especially on burst guns) and crazy deaths through solid walls. Oh and grenades from nowhere with no warning.

Treyarch are so obsessed with League Play - which the vast majority of players aren't interested in - they've just messed the game up for everybody else.

Thing is, league play is broken as well. I was placed in a bronze league, but was constantly put in games against gold/platinum players.

Now I would say I am a not a bad player, a little better than average, but these guys roflstomped me, and quite legitimately. But it makes a mockery of the league system, I lost points and went down in rankings because their matchmaking is so broken.

I've given up hope with this game.
What could be the best COD for years is ruined by Treyarch's refusal to sort their netcode out.

Soulja · 11 May 2013 at 17:35

It really couldn't of been the best. Even with good netcode it's still an unbalanced pile of crap. Sniper gays complained about they can't QS on blops 1 so they made it the easiest it's ever been, then they complain gay snipers don't have a good secondary weapon so they add the Kap 40 and B23r. The Remington is crazy, can be hip fired next to somebody and you get the kill. It really is the worst COD I've played.

When it actually works properly it's the most fun i've had in a COD game since MW2.

youdsy · 11 May 2013 at 18:05

what are the DLC maps like compared to base game maps???

base game maps IMO are the worst yet. BO had lot of medium and big maps with one small map, now its the complete opposite.

turbine is my favorite map nice and big which caters to all play types.

who enjoys spawning and dieing every 5 seconds??

Yeah when people don't use stupid op weapons it can be fun.

I think turbine is too big for 6 v 6 and it's normally full of boring snipers.

whats your favorite map?

im on pc btw. the game plays differently on PC>

i think in future they should create maps for specific game modes. domination on hijacked for example is just silly, no tactics what-so-ever. also have playlist's for people who prefer small, medium or large maps, instead of all maps in rotation.

there are far 2 many small clustered maps in this game.

Soulja · 11 May 2013 at 19:30

I like Raid & Standoff. I'm more of a fan of the medium sized maps. Not ones like puketown.

how do the dlc maps compare to base maps??

they dont look as bland and as badly designed as base IMO.

Once you get passed the bad net code the next problem is the hilariously overpowered sniper rifles and even funnier ease at which you can quickscope in this game, then throw in the stupidly powerful kap40 and b23r then you laugh at the zero recoil SMG's and you realise what could have been a great game is fundamentally flawed.

You then compound this problem with 'skill' based matchmaking and it becomes a mess.

Its a shame because i play for those 1 in 50 games where it works and you get decent enemies who use none of the cheap ****, then its pretty fun.

Soulja · 11 May 2013 at 19:42

I'm not a fan of them really. I liked the firing range remake but the rest are quite boring but you might like them as some are quite big.

Cargo,Overflow,Standoff and Yemen are my favourite maps. Rest are pretty meh.
Played a laggy game earlier,checked my previous players and I had a player from each of following countries: Spain,France,USA :eek:

,Belgium,Norway. The rest were from the UK. How the hell is a lobby with players from those countries ever going to be decent?!

i bet its down to those people not changing their search preference. noobs will be boobs as they say in france.

im sure there's enough people playing in their region to allow people to play at less than 100ms.

Cargo is a camp fest, Yemen is another camp fest.

Soulja · 12 May 2013 at 13:44

Just had a game on MW3 and it feels & plays so much better than blops 2. I really don't feel like lag comp is shafting me.
