Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

Yeah, I don't know what's going on. It's crazy random for me. One game is great, the next has an abundance of lag.

Sad thing is, i've heard a lot of people have taken to overloading their network by opening a bunch of Youtube videos to get on the better side of lag comp. It seriously needs to get patched. I'm ok with it for now, but I have a feeling it's going to start getting to me the longer it goes on.

I've tried it lagging down my connection, but I think it works more in your mind than it does in actual practice. If I head into a match thinking "I've got a level playing field (or an advantage)," you play more confidently and end up doing better.

I slowed down my approach to levels where I was at when the game first came out and I was just learning the maps. I've had much better games since I made the change in my style.

In another topic, Scavenger with claymores is like being a one man wrecking machine. Too bad I prestiged again and had to choose between them. Obviously the choice was easily Scavenger, but it's going to be a long road to level 28 when I can get the Bouncing Bettys.

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

I can say without hesitation that carrier is the worst map out of any MP game I have ever played. Just no rhyme or reason to it. People spawning beside me, behind me.

It's to the point where if it comes up next in the rotation, I just back out of the lobby.

They attempted to have at least one map where SMG's don't dominate. I don't hate it.

My least favorite is easily Express. That is a mess, spawning nightmare. Turbine is my second least favorite. It's just boring to me.

This GAME is a spawning nightmare.

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

Just had my best match yet in this game going 30-6 in HC FFA, and ironically I did it with no attachment/perks as I am going for the gold camo on the M8A1.

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

Honestly I don't think either BF3 or BO1 and 2 is harder than the other. I just think it is a different style of game. This is cominf from a guy who would not be classified as a FPS guy or anything like that. I first stateing FPS online around march this year with BO1 and then started playing Battlefield around June or so when i got it from Best Buy for 10 bucks.

I will say without question BF3 guns do take a little more to get used too because they have far more recoil. My early game scores in both games are basically the same. There was never a time I got on Battlefield and couldn't get a kill or was flat out getting destroyed like 13 implied earlier. Also I don't agree that guys can just pick up BO for the first time and instantly be good or as good as everybody else. Especially in BO1. After getting pretty good at the game we would be in a match and see the other team had multiple fresh players on it and we was pretty much going to dominate that match 9 times out of 10 and those fresh guys constantly stayed at the bottom of the scores.

I honestly think it comes down to how it used to be with Madden vs 2k and Live vs 2k as where it just depends on what style of game you like most. I can't comment on the MW games cause I have never played any of them online.

Most frustrating thing for me, I can't seem to find a weapon/set up I like best.

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

I am playing KC or Domination. Well not Domination anymore because no one plays right. Domination games are blowouts 95% of the time, but most of my KC games are close.


That video is nuts, if I saw it that bad I wouldn't play. Every game I see some of that stuff, but not to that extreme.

Yes im glad he posted that video, so others can see what some of us go through.

Yikes, lag comp got the best of me this morning. Pumped basically a whole clip out of my Skorpion at point blank range into someone only to get one shotted. Kill cam showed maybe one of my shots get off. I decided it was time to hang the boots up until tonight.

For some reason, my games seem more consistent connection wise at night.

Yes this is true there are times of the day when things work out better for you with your connection.

I played some last night because my homies missed playing with me, and I missed playing with them so we got on. Then they played some MW3 with me and they all said
"man I appreciate MW3 a lot more now after playing Black ops 2." It just offers more game styles in the matches than Blk Ops 2.

Now we are going to roll with COD4 for old time sakes.

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

i'm a fast paced run n guner, i've gotten better through the years and can make better positions in terms of what place i run to next on the map while keeping my same fast pace, so you would think i love having smg's forced on me but i honestly hate it.the fire rate is just way too fast, i'm at a handicap if i just aim down the sights so every fight becomes a spraying battle.i used to run an fal full auto with a shot gun and one with an smg to go with it, i was hoping for the mw3 experience of taking out shotguns or smgs when i go into a room or something but i ended up basically going complete smg or shotgun the whole time.it just isnt as fun, i love assault rifles so muxh because it includes more skill like getting your sights on target quickly and efficient and gives me a sense of pride when i knock down that mid-range enemy.probably going to get battlefield 3 to keep a good fps rotation or else i'm going to get bored of black ops 2 soon.on nuketown 2025 though i love the all out chaos of smgs and shotguns, man i really forgot how much fun demolition on nuketown 2025 is.

Same here. I've used every weapon, and have 10+ weapons with 300-400 kills. My most used is the MSMC but it only has about 500 kills total. In previous CoDs I always find about 3 guns I use extensively, however I can't settle on any that really stick out as my go to guns in this one.

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

I wish they could do something about the boosting. I have seen a player kicked for the first time. But when you see a guy with 15 kills 0 deaths and guy with 0 kills and 15 deaths and lodestars at the first objective on hardpoint it's stupid. 3 different games in a row I saw that tonight. Got fed up and turned off the xbox.

Update incoming for the PS3 tonight at 11 pst and xbox 360 on the weekend. http://mp1st.com/2012/12/06/incoming...-this-weekend/

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

The only two guns I have been using lately: The MSMC (2 different classes) and the M8A1. The M8A1 on full auto is awesome, then the 4 round burst for long range. I combine that with engineer, 2 black hat's and a claymore/bouncing betty and I am generally set up to defend the flag.

Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2

Us Hardcore guys only get Kill Confirmed? LMAO! What a joke! Why can't we get all the game modes the regular guys get? What about the map rotation?

I seriously should of just bought the BF3 expansion pack instead of this game. Waste of money...
