Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

[youngchew]

why does the campaign mode tease us?! It's got all the beast Black Ops guns. M60, Spas, AK74u, Galil, AK47.

Oh what I'd do for a Galil in BO2.

[youngchew]

off today, i'll be on black ops all day. somebody invite if you're on. even if i have to deal with the west coast lag

in denver, i normally get put into games with people from colorado, arizona, kansas city, etc...

but playing with east coasters, i always lag. bad.

It's weird, I'll play games of MW3 with people across the ocean and get no lag.

3 bars in MW3 is no problem.

I got my settings on the game set to only allow good connections. I think I saw the video on youtube on how to do it.

Roger that Samuels. I have my game search preferences set to "best connection." Its annoying as it sometimes takes 2-3 minutes to find a game vs 10 seconds when using "normal connection" settings, but i always have 4 bars on best connection games.

Ive been playing on PC, now started up on PS3 since I got it for Christmas, where do you change the connection settings for PS3? I didn't see them anywhere and I keep getting stuck in games where one or two people have one red bar and it annoys me.

I need hardcore domination. I love domination, but I hate the 5-7 rounds it takes to knock someone down. I love hardcore, but all the modes are campy (im more of a run and gunner dude). Please, please, please!

Also lag is terrible in 90% of my games. I lose most of my head to head gun fights. But I do well when I flank and 1-2 of the 20 bullets I put in them kills them! lol.

Should be on the main screen when you get in to multiplayer. I believe it says "preferences" and thats where you set your connection to best available.

I play hc tdm and I am a constant run & gunner

Gold MK48.

Strong. Slow rate of fire, but you'll get a lot of two-hit kills. The ACOG sight is ridiculously steady on this gun, it's my favorite optic for it. Silencer wasn't bad, but shooting at long distances with the ACOG, I wanted this gun to retain its range. On top of that, with quickdraw and the ACOG sight, putting on a silencer would make me use primary gunfighter. Decided to go loud with this gun the majority of the time, beefing up with flak jacket and tact mask. Come get me!

My K/D ratio with this gun is the best of any gun I've used. However, I didn't really have any great games with it. This gun makes you want to sit back and observe while aiming, I was very consistent with it, but to be honest, it became mundane to use. It's not comfortable to use without cover, and even with quickdraw you'll be at reaction disadvantage. Having a secondary pistol with your favorite attachment is so important.

It's called Lag Compensation, folks. Read up on it.

Essentially, the developers looked to have everyone on an equal playing field. Yes, even those poor folks who steal from McDonald wifi. The worst connected player is compensated immensely and everyone else pays the price. The result...

...a bad CoD experience. Very inconsistent games.

I'm good at this game but I'd rather play any of the previous CoD's before playing this again.

[youngchew]

Yeah, been pretty frustrated with the lag lately. Back on the campaign for the first time since the weekend the game released. Having a blast.

So cool how you can modify your loadouts for campaign levels.

modern warfare 2 maps were the best. i can stay remember how they look like and how they can play!

You know man ... I really think Black Ops 2 **** the bed with its maps. they are horrible. I think the biggest issue is the size. they are all small to medium.

I loved the larger maps like Wasteland, Derail, Jungle, Havana ... so great. Even the smaller maps in the other games were designed better.

The other thing I hate about this game is the lack of recoil in the guns, I know sounds weird, but it's a joke. lots of these guns are like lasers.

[Dont Taze Me Bro]

I like smaller maps to be honest in this series (CoD) because they don't utilize vehichles. Who wants to run around all day looking for a fight? Given the max number of people that they support in their games on all platforms, the maps are big enough imo. Now, on PC in BF3 where you have 64 players going at it, yeah, they need bigger maps, plus they have different game modes that utilize tanks, jets, etc.

The only thing I miss is good ole sniper maps from back in the days of Cod I and II. I can't remember which one, I think it was II that had a snow map and you could actually climb up certain trees if you knew which ones they were and sit inside a tree, completely hidden from everyone and snipe away. The only way anyone knew where you were was if they saw the bullets come out of the tree. It was pretty high up too, above the map. I loved it.

Now, snipers are so cheesy its unreal, half the time on the kill screen, Im dead before they even look through the scope (at least on the replay). Don't know if thats just the mechanics of the replay or not as I have a really fast connection and rarely lag, but it just looks odd to me. Its going in slow motion and you see them start to look down the scope and then fire before the scope even opens up completely. Plus, there are not any really great snipping boards, which is why I refuse to play the class in BO2.

Why does this game always seem to kick me when I dominate... I am on the PS3, and I have FiOS with the fastest speed possible... Whenever I start the game with run and gun and my killstreaks are coming in like candy, it kicks me... every single damn time!

Is there a way that players are kicking me out or something? Competitive advantage? WTF!
