Since the last update I'm unable to play on Exodus as I just get an error message. Seems it's a known problem. Aren't Treyarch awesome, eh?

Tried playing hardcore mode? Isn't that the mode where eveything works?

Looks like Treyarch has added skill based matchmaking into BO3 according to Reddit.

If true...

Not on xb1 yet apparently

To be honest playing tdm alone I'm not feeling that sweaty
In lobby leaderboard I'm top and way ahead of everyone else

254

There is still no reduction in the amount of BS though, and the lobby I was just in I got melted before I even saw people.

And it seems everything is back to normal (SBMM is gone).

Placebo or not. Not sure what the game version is now but yesterday it was 43.6.22.5.

Skillz

I always get caught out in so many situations due to the chaos in this game I just find it too difficult to string anything tigether.

Maps look great!

Skyjacked looks epic and the water park one looks like loads of fun.

I'd love Treyarch to do a Vietnam CoD, they could even place it in the Black Ops universe timeline.

Playing through the campaign with a friend. What a load of rubbish! Treyarch should just stick to MP.
IW and Sledgehammer make much better campaigns.

Black Ops 1&2 were fantastic campaigns, you had too much Christmas spirit?

God dark matter is soooo good.

No, picked up a weapon from some boosters that had it in.

The game engine they use is super old, has quite high inbuilt latency which just adds to the problems.

But Black Ops 3 has the lower engine latency out of all the CoD games.....

I rarely experience horribly laggy games.

You do get them, but only about 1/20

Far more prevalent ar the ones where the game seems to play fine and isn't stuttering around but you just feel like nothing hits and people are seeing you before you see them.

I'm not going to pretend to understand it, but it's not lag.

I agree with what drift0r said in one of his problem videos, for whatever reason after about an hour or so the servers crap out and the game gets horrible.

Yeah, I have no idea what the hell is happening in those types of games, it's mind bending what is going on, what's even more strange is you can tell when "it" swings back and things work again and you start to melt people.

There is obviously some clever stuff going on in the background of matchmaking. While I wont pretend to understand the actual programming I can understand why, when in a party, we can all have good or bad connection / hit recognition/ lag etc. games. What doesn't make sense is why occasional matches only some of us suffer with it.

People moaning about connections though but generally I find them alright, yes you get bad games but they aren't the norm. I find the community a lot more frustrating than the connections. Like how many games of domination we win by a stupid margin like 200-40 because the other team are too busy camping and head glitching to capture flags. Which to make it worse they usually go negative as well so aren't even good kill farmers. It just makes the game frustrating and boring to play.

Problem is going for camos/dark matter people head glitch for headshots, then the secondary problem is people want a high KD/beast gameplays to upload to their 5 subscriber YouTube channels.

I've played 95% of my games on BO3 with my R1 off and I've had very few problem games.

There's been several games in that 5% though that were a bit crap at the start of the release.

This game seems to work ok on its own.

I played it 4 times yesterday, in a row, got to the top of the leader board in one though!

Was that before he hot fix though?

So they have nerfed how often Combine comes up but not put a limit on how many times you can vote for the same map? Way to not fix the problem. It makes it marginally better but once a lobby hits Combine you know it is going to voted again and again and again and again and..........*snores*

Vahn tweeted that to do that requires a game patch and cannot be done in a hotfix.

Holy crap, playing this on a monitor and it's proper different!!!

I'm melting everyone!
