Black Ops 2, info released...

[brian6715]

Yesterday it was really good for me, I was getting about 1.6 and about 260 points per min in kill confirmed, I am not that caliber of gamer for sure. Then when I quit it wouldn't show me any leaderboards or stats, don't know what that was about

[NKLCOLT1911]

How much of these complaints are from your internet provider, rather then the game?

i have more than double the required upload and download speeds xbox live says you should have for a good online experience, more than likely whoever is hosting the game might have bad internet and is getting lag help from the COD servers and its affecting everyone else in the lobby.

What about your ping speed though?

ya know.. i dont think i have ever looked at that, im not really sure i know what that is exactly. ill do another speed test tonight and see what that says.

No problems with other games such as MW3.

This is just the typical poor game play we've come to expect from Treyarch.

[Born2Fish]

I really can't say I have one complaint about the game other than maybe a few maps I don't enjoy as much as the others. I played MW3 enough and my personal opinion is that this game plays much better than 3. Sure there might be a few things that can be fixed, but the game is still very new and I am guessing things will come around more. I have found that i LOVE the PDW-57. I am not sure I could even like another gun as much.

Played pretty much back to normal today. Why it was so laggy yesterday, I have no idea. Couldn't take those 5-20 mathches though!!!

Have not tried today yet but agree the past few days have been laggy. Also noticed some glitches in the leaderboard screen yesterday. Would be very interesting to get inside their "command" center and see what kind of battle they are raging against hackers and cheaters. Bet that has a lot to do with it as they quickly apply patches that then have to be refined by a more proper design team.

Yesterday was cyber Monday, lots of online activity.

[LMITOUT]

For about 45 min last night it was playing unbelievably awesome. It was like I could do nothing wrong, yet this happened in and out of lobbies so I wasn't playing with the same people and the same connections.

It was magical.

45 minutes of glory out of the 30 something hours I've played...what a fantastic ratio.

Well, I have to get back at it. Thirty hours of pathetic game play to get that 45 minutes of fun doesn't happen by itself.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

When you guys talk about this "lag" and "lag compensation" what are you talking about exactly? Is the gameplay actually lagging consistently for you? Sure I have moments where Im running to cover and make it and that split second after I make it I die but it doesnt happen all that often and happens equally in all titles. Or Ive been in games here and there where its lagging but usually host drops, it times out or I just leave the lobby, again very rare.

Ive been on 20mbps the past few CoD titles and played on 1.5 mbps before that and honestly I dont notice a huge difference in gameplay and my KDR, W/L has been pretty similar.

[DTro]

Its easy to see if you have issues, all you have to do is pay attention to what happens when you get killed....then watch the killcam. The killcam is really what is happening.

If you think you are shooting rounds at the guy then watch the cam and not one round comes out of your gun, you are on the bad end of the deal.

Its fun when you are on the good side of it though, you can't do anything wrong and it is like you are playing against stupid bots.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Oh got ya, makes sense now...

I very rarely watch killcams. Only when Im wondering where I got killed from or playing a game type with a respawn delay. I usually know why I died I dont watch it over again. Like I said I notice it occasionally when I running between cover and seem to die after getting to safety.

Lots of times my play type isnt frantic running around the map, more of a flank and anticipate where the enemy will be so I minimize those "oh $#!%" head on moments.

[shnelson]

I completely blame treyarch for poor match handling. It almost always seems like host advantage, and like Dtro said is very apparent when watching a kill cam.

It has been this way for every game produced by their studio - World @ War was horrible at matchmaking & handling in game latency but was eventually improved with patches. BOPS was bad, BOPS2 is the same. All Inifity titles have their issues, but I feel like the matchmaking & latency is handled quite well... or at least consistently.

I still enjoy playing all of the titles, and no matter how bad the gameplay gets I still try to stick with whatever the latest release is. The only time I'm going back to MW3 is when I get an itch to finish the campaign

I finally went out and bought this game, and am disappointed with how little I get to play Nuketown 2025.

[Deitz Dittrich]

to play the nuketown you have to be in the mosh pit bonus game. Then it comes up every 4-6 games it seems like. You also I believe had to have pre-ordered the game to have the Nuketown code.

you didnt need to pre order it persay but would have had to get it fairly close to release day, i bought my copy black friday and i got the code.

[Scott K]

Where is the code? My case said it includes Nuketown, but I havent yet played it, I didnt know there was a code

[DTro]

Its in the case

[ted4887]

Somehow I actually scored one with the code yesterday at BestBuy. I was pretty surprised, but pleased nonetheless. I've played around 15 games of chaos moshpit today, and haven't even seen Nuketown as an option to play once. Guess I'll just keep trying.

[EBass]

I bought it on opening day and I didn't get a nuketown code. (PS3) I looked as I've have gotten some codes before (Batman) but no slip with a code on it. Just the game and the instructions and I checked each page of the instructions. Dunno

[NKLCOLT1911]

it will say on the back of the case if the nuke town 2025 map is included then the code will be inside on a card like dtro said.

[fishuhalik]

Speaking of nuketown, why can't I play nuketown zombies? I have it for multiplayer but not zombies.

[Bryce]

Unplayable last night. Lag needs to be fixed.

[NKLCOLT1911]

it was complete carp for me last night also.
