Headshot isn't an insta-kill is it? There's multipliers like 1.1x..So if a gun dealt 30 damage, getting a headshot would deal 33 damage. So it would still take 4 shots to kill. If you mean 3 shots before any hit markers appearing then fair enough.
But generally speaking I agree with this game sometimes being terrible in the sense my bullets seem to be made of cheese.

You're right, the headshot multiplier for most guns from watching in depth from drift0r is 1.1x, and as he says, headshots at any range on 99% of guns are useless.

:/

What annoys me the most is that it's not occasional either. I could stomach it if it was a game here or there, I understand how P2P works so that'd be no biggie. What gets me is that it's like a switch. It's as if the game goes "ok, their turn now" and just gives enemies a huge advantage. I just snuck up on a camper on Combine (you know the ones, LMG in the top floor corridor) and got a headshot off him. Must've taken at least 3 bullets before anything registered.

What a joke. If this doesn't get sorted I'll be removing this and sticking it on the shelf, this just isn't worth the frustration.

Yeah I agree, I wish they'd just get dedicated services.

Another issue I'm having is I seem to play Combine over and over. Does anyone get to play any of the other maps? I play 12 games of dom yesterday and all of them were on Combine

I like the map but it's starting to get a bit repetitive

Did you not think to back out and try a different lobby after the 11th game?

Seriously though I find the small mosh pit games usually stick to combine or nuketown and you have to change lobbies and or game modes to play other maps.

Maybe that's how those who were on the end of your endless raps streaks felt. Tbh mate, people need to start talking with their wallet. Activision keep churning these out. The netcode has got worse each time if you ask me, they could easily put out dedicated servers but yet haven't?

Too much $$$$$ for the greedy fat cats to lose.

I did try lol but every game I go into is Combine.

I've completely lost the ability to aim in this game. I'm always shooting either side of the other guys head and can never get a shot on target. This is using the XR-2 in HC mode.

I just switched to the KN-44 got a headshot straight away and then auto aim pulled me around 20 degrees for another hs on a player I didn't even see.

antijoke · 9 Dec 2015 at 20:44

I hate auto aim when you have two players in front of you and auto aim pulls you off to aim at the other one and the one you were shooting turns on you and kills you.

Auto aim is very strong.

Diddums · 9 Dec 2015 at 20:55

Yep, it's annoying as hell especially as it always seems tk target the furthest player.

Also, Greboth's emblem is frikking awesome.

RedStarRiot · 9 Dec 2015 at 21:22

Unplayable at the moment. Some guy climbs out a pool I look like I've put a full round into the lagging **** but he shots me once and I die.

Cue kill cam.

He climbs out and I don't even fire. That's breaking point for me. I can take being **** at it on the chin but this is a joke.

Yep, same here. ****ing ridiculous.

Its all lag now. Shame as I enjoy this game sometimes.

Just as I think I'll take a break from this at the weekend and play some FF7 they announce double XP.

biron_w · 10 Dec 2015 at 11:18

I played quite late last night and didn't really have any problems.
If you're sick of getting hit markers and people sponging bullets, here's some advice:

PLAY HARDCORE! I stopped playing Core in BO2 because of the problems that people keep moaning about.

Zatoichi.uK · 10 Dec 2015 at 11:37

I switched to hardcore last night after some frustration and instantly played better.

See! I'm not saying HC is perfect as it can be a lesson in frustration sometimes but I have a lot less problems playing that than I do playing Core.

Zatoichi.uK · 10 Dec 2015 at 11:43

It probably says more about my aim after landing the first shot, but either way I'm preferring it for now.

The one that ends saying PM Soulja?

it is a carry over from BO2.

HC suffers the exact same problems as core, it just isn't as noticable. In my experience of HC you still get people who kill you before you can react and times where you fire first and die but because there isn't the longer TTK or kill cams it isn't so in your face this BS is going on.

I'm having a whale of a time with the first assault riflle w/silencer. Maybe its damage output isn't the best though.

Honestly not unlocked any other weapons really, I have about 13 unlock tokens sat there

Any recommendations?

ICR.. Low damage but makes up for it in accuracy. Tho I only play HC so the damage is no big deal to me

Greboth · 10 Dec 2015 at 15:03

I like the ICR for core too and use it on the larger maps. Shieva is beastly too if you are accurate enough. Though I still prefer SMG's which I would suggest trying the Kuda, Weevil and/or Razorback.
