I tried Black Ops 2 yesterday and it was a lag infested mess, went back to BF3 and it was OK.

Fantastic news, keep us updated.

Ghosts looks like it has good spawns because the maps are do big and the game is so slow but I still had bad spawns on Ghosts.

I notice that a poster for the first dlc has been made available. 1 weapon, 4 maps and Exo zombies it's called Havoc.

I won't be buying any DLC unless they make some changes to Hardcore.

I'm confused by that video, he mentions dedicated servers...I thought Aw didn't have them? If they do how do you know your connecting to one?

He tells you right at the start.

Lol am I being dumb but I haven't heard him say how you tell?

The GF got me with with the XBone for xmas and having not played COD, well a console since Advanced warfare i am always at the bottom which i don't really mind but having played abit now i agree that there is way too much shooting in the back action. Also don't know if its just xbox going through changes but when i last played on live there was a hell of a lot of chatter. Now there is hardly non. Haven't felt the need to wear my headset yet. (Not got a lot of RL friends with live) so i look forward to hearing some voices.

Hate the jumping and the whole exo abilities. I don't use these i feel that they are pretty pointless. I would much, much prefer flash/smoke/stun and semtex/frags etc. That being said, i love the whole soldier customisation. Like all the funky helmets etc.

WTF is going off with this lately? I have had several games now where you just get idiots that are killing themselves with a rocket launcher. I have seen it and even been killed by them. They spawn, aim the launcher at their feet and boom. If you are near them you also get taken out. What on earth is going on? Is this some sort of exploit or are they chasing some sort of terrible KD achievement? Someone last night in a game was 0/127!!!

Reverse boosting. It helps them got in lobbies with lower skilled players.

Yep, this.

The skill based matchmaking is 'making' do it.

I actually had some 'fun' last night whilst playing this just as a stupid run and gun and shove a shotgun in peoples faces. Hilarious.

Had one lobby with a full on Euro flavour, 2 Swedes, 1 German, 2 dutch, 1 Italian, 1 French and 1 Spanish guy, sprinkled with some UK folk, lobby had it all. Needless to say the Dutch and Swedes were full on try hards. They were afraid of the objective though, the HP switched to behind one guy and he couldn't run away from it fast enough. He got a face full of ARX, but he just went *bloop* and I was dead.

Yet more exploiting going on after the last lot were patched - Solar being really bad for it.

Uber annoying.

Report them and back out. Sledgehammer have said that the ban hammer will be coming out soon so a lot of these idiots will go. According to Thunder on Youtube these reverse boosters are now being put into lobbies with each other

Solar is a terrible map as it is! That, Riot and Instinct are maps I hate and refuse to play on.

Haha I like all of those maps, not really a map I don't like in the game which makes a massive change.

antijoke · 7 Jan 2015 at 18:06

I hate solar, I do like riot though.

Iceman · 7 Jan 2015 at 18:41

Love most of the maps except, terrace and greenband.....

I used to hate Terrace but now it's my TAC-19 map and I have loads of fun using that shotgun on that map

BuffetSlayer · 8 Jan 2015 at 10:32

Terrace and Instinct - my 2 least fave maps.

Welll I actually hate all maps cos I am terrabad

Getting a bit better on pad now though. After 20 years on mouse and keyboard it is taking a bit of time to retrain my brain! One thing I have noticed though is I seem to get far more goodies after maps on the PS4 than I do on the PC......

Anyone else find that?

Strangely, even though I am bad I am still enjoying this more on PS4 than I do on PC - which is something I couldnt see myself saying 2 months ago, but there you go

I never thought to do that.. Will be doing it from now on!

Solar, Riot and Terrace are my Fav maps at the mo... I do hate instinct though, especially with the dom point under the massive crane thing, there are a couple of spots there that are almost impossible to shoot someone but they can shoot you fine..

antijoke · 8 Jan 2015 at 14:27

I like instinct, but like you say, there are some real stupid lines of sight for people that can see you easily, but you cannot see them for toffee.
