Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

[TTViper]

Lag sux!! I lose battles all of the time, even when I have first (second and sometimes third) shot. I played with Viper (Guys a beast!! ) and in one kill cam, I easily had 2 shots on the guy.

But I'm in Phoenix, and it may be me. I'll share some of the responsibility. The only thing about "sharing" the responsibility for connection, is that in other games, I've never had issues. Just drives me crazy cuz in other COD games, this wasn't an issue. One could easily play a night of games without any problems. Now it feels like, we can't play a single game without some sort of host errors.

Yeah the main issue was you are across the country from most of us. I've been playing some league matches with some buddies in Cali, while I'm in Virginia. I pull a 3 bar every game. After about 3 games i can compensate and get used to, I go back to playing pretty well. When I go back to 4 bars, it's like a whole new game, and it takes me a few rounds to get used to it again.

Next time we play ill have one of our friends in Dallas host the party and you should have a better chance of getting a neutral host.

It also doesn't matter if you have the fastest fiber connection in the world. If the ping/latency between you and the host is high, your 50 down/20 up won't help you.

had a party of dudes join my lobby....they all had clan tags of "LAL" and were clearly from southern cali....

in a HEAVY mexican accent, dude was like "aye fools, look at that dude's emblem, RG3 fool. Redskins. that dude is a beast fool. i hate the redskins but respect to rg3 fool. he's rookie of the year."

I have been going crazy with the my "fast" class. I use the dual wield auto pistol that is the last to get unlocked. I add all the fast Perks to the class and swap out scavenger for the primary weapon slot.

Question, caused I prestiged and am only back to level 22 so all my unlocks are gone now. how do you duel wield the pistol? And are you talking about the Kap 40?

Hijacked's spawn system is worse than all COD's maps combined including the terrible spawns in every other FPS that ever existed. What in the blue hell is going on here? Wetwork from COD4 is practically the same style of map, take a cue. Obviously spawn trapping can be quite common on tight, rectangular maps, but hey, it's part of the game sometimes. The fix is not to start spawning mother****ers 30 yards behind me. Having a good fight or kicking ass on Wetwork was awesome to me, Hijacked sucks win or lose.

By the way, if no one mentioned it, you get one free unlock token each time you prestige. Use it at the start on your favorite higher level gun, makes going back up the ranks a lot more bearable.

It's the new Nuketown. Spawns get completely screwed up if you have a few people at each end of the map.

Huh, I like hijacked.

I used it on the FAL, but I dont recall being able to duel wield that gun. Is duel wield a perk? I never got into the pistols.

[TTViper]

Dual wield is the last attachment you earn for the pistols.

[HSW]

I tried the FAL with selector last night and did not care for it. I prefer a higher rate of fire. I am having a hard time finding something I like more than the FN25 for an all purpose assault/smg weapon.

The design is cool, it's got a signature to it, it's just where they place enemies at key moments sometimes. I imagine it's not nearly as bad in HC mode.

I literally died 16 times in a row on hijacked without taking 5 steps a few weeks ago.

Killstreaked and spawned camped. I think I was able to move twice and I had fire coming at me from all directions. The opposing team was camping both sides.

I rage quit so fast after the 16th death.

yeah, i don't know how you guys play core. though, i have been forced into it some because kill confirmed isn't on the hc list.

the spawns on hc are a bit more frustrating than in previous cod games....but it has gotten better and is nothing like core mode.

In the Infinity Ward versions core was fine because folks would die with 2-3 hits. With Treyarch, sometimes I will get 3-4 hit markers and they act like nothing happened. Add in the lag factor and core is just a hot mess. HC is definitely better for me.

The spawns on that map are stupid. I cannot count the number of times where I have spawned and then had the enemy team immediately spawn behind me and shoot me in the back. I agree with the spawn camping also. They will camp each side of the boat at the same time and just shoot you when you spawn.

[youngchew]

i don't know how you play on hardcore mode

I played HC on Black Ops 2 for the first time last night, it was AWFUL. TDM on Plaza....kids corner camping with shotguns and SMGs around every corner. started outu 0-5 and I left the party to play by myself, coudln't deal with it. just felt too cheap.

And what's up with the limited game modes on HC?

[RichmondRedskin88]

Guys I need some combination suggestions. I've only had the game a week but I never remember struggling on a COD this much (I always put up pretty good K-D numbers. Now I'm like going negative a bunch). It seems like I'm always losing one on one battles.
