AN-94 damage slightly reduced with the new patch.

I will not buy another treyarch COD again. Just leave the snipers/shotguns and pistols all over powered. Team of morons.

I feel the same way. Not only did they manage this, but they managed to take bad netcode from black ops 1 and make it worse, plus they didn't appear to do absolutely anything to improve it, which at least IW tried to do. They just spent time cashing in on dlc and purchasable camos, etc.

I'm struggling to get excited about ghosts though, so not sure if I will get that or not.

Of course the big youtubers will declare each new cod as amazing because they want to keep their subscribers, but this game cannot stay on top for ever.

When it gets to the point where the bs factor causes you to start one game, something unfair occurs and you just simply quit the game and don't continue to play, they need to reevaluate, and it's getting close.

But of course treyarch won't - since many people buy it each time, not sure if IWs attitude is the same.

Although it seems like there are less people playing at the moment, so maybe quite a few
Have stopped playing.

Sniping doesn't feel much different.

From VH's twitter:

The DSR fire time was 0.2 seconds. It's now 0.4 seconds. The rechamber time was 1.0 seconds. It's now 1.1 seconds.

The sprintinTime was 0.25 seconds. It's now 0.30 seconds. SprintoutTime was 0.25 seconds. It's now 0.30 seconds.

I doubt it would be easy to notice .2 of a second!

Personally cant see the point of trying balance a game which is inherently designed to be unbalanced from the get go which is what quick scoping is (imo).
 
Activision Community Manager: ‘Stop Threatening Game Developers’
Click to expand...

In an interesting and thought-provoking editorial on his personal blog, Activision’s community manager Dan Amrich expressed concern about the treatment of game developers on the Internet by the very people who play and enjoy their games, specifically citing a series of recent examples targeting David Vonderhaar of Treyarch.

In a recent patch of Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II, a series of tweaks were rolled-out that reduces the damage and speed of certain weapons. Due to the changes, which no doubt will alter the way some folks play the game, Vonderhaar was subject to ridicule and violent threats. The changes made some “people violently angry,” according to Amrich.


As Amrich explains, “One of [Vonderhaar]’s many responsibilities is to keep the game as balanced as possible,” yet when he does make these changes, he “often gets told he should die in a fire or kill himself or is a horrible person. If anyone thinks for a second that this is okay, it is not.”

“But if the loudest voices in the Call of Duty ‘community’ act like an angry mob instead, guess how the entire world views Call of Duty?” Amrich continued. “Now consider that these Internet Tough Guy rants and demands are not unique to COD, but exist everywhere, in many gaming communities. This is why the world often does not take gaming seriously; this is why gamers are assumed to be immature, whiny assh***s. Because the immature, whiny assh***s are louder.”

Amrich concludes with a plea for more thoughtfulness and calm, asking people to think about how they want to be treated. “If you enjoy your games,” he ends his blog post, “have a little respect for the people who make them – and stop threatening them with bodily harm every time they do their job.”

The guy shouldn't troll all the people that buy cod then and make it an unbalanced pile of turd.
 
This game just gets worse and worse with every "hot fix" .
Today it has just been horrible. Gonna have to stop playing in the afternoons as the only people I play with are French and Spanish.
 
Haha I was still doing ok but I've been having more bs deaths than normal. I've been watching the kill cams a lot and I'm being dropped in like 2 bullets. :/ I did manage to get my fifth nuclear though :o
 
Alright show off.

I was playing demo the other night for a change, I hate spawn camping **** monkeys on objective games like demo. Everyone else is busy covering the objective, apart from that one ****ing scrote of a sniper who wants to rape you as you spawn.

Skill-less idiots.

I blame Treyarch for it though, when you have titles like kill 9 players in 1 second, the only way to get titles like that is to be a spawn camping **** monkey!
 
Played last night and in one game I got a k/d of 5.5 so I stayed in the lobby and the next game my k/d was 0.3 :mad: It's the inconsistency that annoys me the most.

Do they have a qa process? Regression testing for a release or do they play the game for 30 seconds and say "yeah, that will do"?

They always claim to have "robust internal testing" for their games.
Not sure who the testers are but I'm guessing they must be mentally challenged as the always miss all the most obvious problems. If I'd have tested this game I could have told them within an hour of playing that their spawn system is utter garbage and needs completely remaking.
