Black Ops 2, info released...

[DTro]

Yes compared to all the other games in the COD/Black OP series, it ranks right up there. Over load the servers with any past COD game and the same thing happens…lag, poor hit detection etc etc.

Lets hope there are not too many glitches coming our way and also that Treyarch is timely in tweaking whatever it needs to.

Not too many things that really stand out as bad in this game yet, except for the stupid campfires in Zombie mode. They are more annoying than GAY/C cars.

Hey ebass, add me sometime. Fishuhalik55. Always looking for fellow ps3 guys to play with

PS3 owner here:

Seems like Im spending more time fighting the dam game than playing it. Ill sit in a lobby forever and it just keeps cycling through and never starting. When a game does appear about ready to start there is a 70% chance the game will freeze my system and I have to restart it. Freaking ridiculous

[Deitz Dittrich]

Has anyone looked into League play yet?.. what is it? And is it any fun? How big are the teams?

[LMITOUT]

THIS.GAME.IS.THE.BOMB!!!!

It is hard for me to be enthusiastic about something that requires unloading full magazine to drop your opponent, however this your textbook Treyarch watered-down, nerfed gameplay to keep the 12 year olds happy so I shouldn't be surprised.

Just like everything in life now it has to be "fair" to all involved, because it's not right that if I sneak up on someone and start shooting them in the back (element of surprise, anyone?) that they don't have a "fair" chance to spin completely around, identify the target, engage, and return fire to have a "fair" fight. It's the same thing as BFLOPS 1...nerf city. Good grief.

I agree with Jeff about the poor choice of weapons, even by the time you reach level 20. If you don't get the option to keep or buy back a gun like you could in MW3, then there is little to no chance I will bother prestiging.

Can't wait until next November!

[Deitz Dittrich]

Anybody play with the elite web page.. you can change your load out and check your stats and such.. kinda fun.

[fishuhalik]

Lmit, try hardcore. HC kill confirmed was pretty much all I played in mw3. I'm really bummed they didn't bring it back! There is a fair amount of camping in hc, but campers should only get ya once. Just throw a stun from cover to make sure they're still there, wait for your hitmarker, then throw a grenade at em and you get a free kill.

You guys must be playing a different game then me. I can't even tolerate this game anymore. Multiplayer is so buggy for me, constant lag compensation issues. I am getting killed before I even see guys round the corner. Way worse than previous cod games. I struggle to get a 1.0 k/d and I am a better player than that.

The maps are mediocre at best. Each map seems littered with places to head glitch and second story windows. The gun selection is not that great either. Seems to be a very sniper friendly game too which I hate. I would probably enjoy the multiplayer if the lag issues were figured out for me. As it sits, I don't enjoy multiplayer at all.

And zombies...for those of you who are crazy about zombies like I am you will be severely disappointed. They really took away from the excitement in previous call of duty zombie modes. Tranzit is huge which is cool, but it's not really big in a good way.

I am a call of duty fan boy, but this game has left me seriously disappointed. The only thing I can say that is good about the game is the sound effects. That's about it for now. Glad I didn't spend $50 on the season pass.

maybe you lost your mojo...j/k if your not getting around 1.4 something needs to be fixed

[NKLCOLT1911]

i hear ya about bashing the games when they came out, for me however i still think bops 1 sucks but i enjoy mw3 it just took a week or two to dial things in

I know the feeling when I started I was struggling to keep my kdr around 1 but Im back on the rise and now sitting close to where I usually average. You will adapt soon. Ive noticed most the guys I know are really good started slow out of the gate.

I wouldnt say every battle... Like limit was saying, it does take more bullets to kill. Watch the final kill cams and count the hit markers before the guy goes down. Probably 6+ markers. Ive had guys run away or turn around and shoot me but whatever it works both ways, Ive turned around and blasted people too. All that said Id say 75%+ it comes down to who saw who first. I guess thats what HC mode is for though, guys who want to kill with a few rounds but IMO it takes a lot of skill out.

Funny you PS3 guys mentioning systems freezing. Mine has done it a few times with this game too.

Remember how everyone hated Bops when it first came out and after MW3 it was touted as a great game? Give them a few patches to work the bugs out.

I do have 1.4 right now as it sits because when it works I can mop people up. But like yesterday I could not play a single game that wasn't laggy and I struggled to go even each game.

[A R Johnson]

Im not liking shooting people 6 7 times to kill'em either

[LwnmwnMan2]

PS3 servers were down and / or crappy for a while yesterday evening.

I've had the PS3 freeze, but I just get up, turn it off, turn it back on and am playing again.

[LwnmwnMan2]

Also, if you're in a lobby and it isn't going to the game, just back out. I guess I just see a bunch of complaining about stuff that's easily solvable.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Well yeah... But when it happens lobby after lobby it gets annoying, especially running with a group as it usually takes a while to get a full lobby. but yeah, nothing to get worked up over.

[brian6715]

I LOVE that. It actually takes skill to kill a person, it's not just a matter of who saw who first

[EBass]

I'll get ya added over the weekend fish.

[rushing]

There are alot of bugs that they need to work out. But such was the case for BOPs and MW3...prob is they tend to not get them fixed until after the next COD game is out.

[Bryce]

Match making working just fine on xbox. Just sayin

[LMITOUT]

I've reached the conclusion that you cannot be more than 8 ft away from your opponent if using a shotgun and no more than 6 ft if not equipped with the long barrel. I measured it on my TV screen.

FIX THE GAME!!!

[CJH]

Well yeah... But when it happens lobby after lobby it gets annoying, especially running with a group as it usually takes a while to get a full lobby. but yeah, nothing to get worked up over.

Tried to get play last night around 8:30 and couldn't get in a game. Hit about 6 lobbies with the above issue and finally just gave up and popped in a movie. Very annoying. A patch is coming soon, so I am sure that will be addressed.

So far I like it. The first day it played really well for me, since then its been a little laggy, but no where near as laggy as BOPS1 or MW3 do for me. Hit detection seems better, and it seems like you are rewarded by shooting someone in the belly/chest vs an arm or leg. I like the maps and the scorestreaks. I've racked up some nice strings of kills by going up to a high window, putting a sentry gun in it, then a Guardian behind it facing the door/stairs. Locks down the room and lets the sentry gun do its thing.

I still use the MP7 as my main weapon. I've tried a few of the other SMG's and haven't found anything I like better yet, although I haven't gotten to the scorpion. Haven't used the AR's or LMG's much, but haven't really been impressed with any of them. Just unlocked the SCAR, which I usually like, so we'll see how that does. Overall the guns seem pretty balanced.

Somebody I was playing against on the carrier go the "swarm" scorestreak and it devasted our team. I was killed 3 times in a row by it. Killed, spawn killed, spawn killed again.

I was doubtful, and as long as the fix the bugs and get the game play stable, I am impressed!

[DTro]

A good way to rank up quick is to go into Nuketown and play for a few hours.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

This game can really test my patients sometimes. I hope whatever causes the system freezes ups can be addressed in a patch.

MW3 had flawless host migration why cant Treyarch duplicate it?

As for weapons if you want to suffer for a few levels get the FAL and use the full auto attachment its my favorite gun right now. It doesnt shoot super fast and the standard mag is 25 rounds but its accurate and drops people quickly. Ive pulled of triple kills with it with other ARs I find that between the amount of bullets it takes to kill and rate of fire I cant drop more than 2 guys in a group.

[LMITOUT]

Two words to describe this game: steaming pile

[fishuhalik]

I NEED GHOST!!!! I hate that I have to get to lvl 55 to be off radar. I can't step around a corner without someone waiting for me. I tried a silencer but if they're at any range it takes about 8 body hits to kill. After the 1st day my kd was around 1.5 and i was having a ball. After the last few days it's sunk down to 1.02 and I'm getting pi$$ed.
