For sure.
Has this been confirmed to be a bug? We all know that the latest patch looks god awful but is it indeed a confirmed bug?
I'd say it has to be. The difference is massive, the IQ is just truly god awful with the patch and blur. Without the blur, the AA looks to be a solid implementation of MLAA. As good as could be expected given the dropping of MSAA and resolution the game runs at.
The only explaination for it being intentional is for framerate purposes, but I've had enough goes with bots on all maps without the patch installed to conclude that it's just as smooth as with the patch. If anything, it might be a little smoother without it I feel...

When does the double XP weekend start? And will it included Combat Training?

Seems like it. So far its the only map I really don't like.
I hope so as well, but I don't think it's that black and white.
Patches are typically tested. You would have to think they did it for a reason, but hopefully not. We'll see.
Froze up about 3 more times tonight, hoping that patch gets here sooner rather than later. An 8th bricked ps3 will be too much. Other than that, still think the game is great compared to mw3 and BO
Well im hoping 3arch goes back to the superior lag comp from MW1/2, fixes spawns and blurryness.
I spawned twice today in the middle of a lightning strike fml. I barely win a face to face even though i'm center mass and firing first - every killcam shows me barely getting out 1 bullet if ANY. I'm not the best player, sure, but when I fire first and dude isnt even facing me yet but I land every bullet and still get killed - something is terribly wrong.
Horrid.

Lol, strike force missions are absolute garbage. They need to fire whoever thought it was a good to add that. It should also be renamed 'monster closet madness' because that's pretty much all it is.
Honestly, I don't know if I can take this anymore. I have a good connection and the lag compensation is murdering me. Even with the jump on people I lose the fight, bad I feel like the killcam is more accurate of what's happening to me to the real game. Like when I knife I go right through people, and in the killcam it shows me knife behind them, so it's like they are always ahead of me. I don't know why it gives ahitty connections an advantage but this is soo frustrating. On 360 btw

Add me. Mangosucker on XBL.
After 28 lvls, I just now realize how much BS hipfire with a laser attachment is. Finally, I know why I keep loosing at sudden close to medium encounters.
It happens to me often too. And, I have a very good Internet connection. It seems Treyarch is still using their shitty Blops netcode.

They're definitely not going to make their DLC numbers without a pretty swift response to the low-latency-punishing-netcode. Once people hit 55 and the drip-feed of unlocks ends, they're are going to start jumping ship.

There's no guarantee of performance or people with the WiiU version. On PC those thing are guaranteed.

Or an install base on WII U to play with.
Yep, the hipfire accuracy in this is insane. Especially with laser attachment. You're not exgerrating by mentioning medium range either, you can literally kill from halfway across the map using SMG hipfire.
You know, analysing the proper weapons stats it looks like they've really thought about weapon balance and variety this time. But the hipfire accuracy, apparent increase of aim assist so that bullets just seem to stick to whoever you're firing at, coupled with complete lack of recoil on nearly all guns is just...too excessive really, even by COD standards.

Yeah, this may be more of an issue than anything else.

whats the point of installing the textures (on the ps3) I did it yesterday but cannot detect any differences...
If you watch Xbawks gameplay, its
fucking
You guys dont like Hijacked? Its SO easy to flank with the tunnel under the boat and get at least 5 kills before they realize you're there. Drop 2 shock charges or Betties in the cabin on their side and watch the show
There's no technical benefit. It's just to reduce the read stress on the blu-ray drive by streaming textures from the HD instead of the disc.

I'll be buying on Wii U. I wouldn't worry about the install base. The console will have at least 4 million sold by March (as good launches usually go).
CoD is a huge franchise, and it had a very loyal following on Wii (BO and MW3 both broke a million in sales despite "gimped" versions).
Ultimately it depends what you like more: comfy couch, kb+m, Wiimote aiming, dual analog, etc etc.

Fantastic job. Love how you coordinate teamwork too. Everyone seems to really be on the same page. I definitely have to crib some ideas for when playing with my bumbling friends.
Keep posting your streams, man.
Edit: And yeah, shock charges + Scavenger... :lol

No I pull out my stinger, look for the UAV and get killed. Or I shoot down one of the five UAVs, get my 75 points and then I'm killed-all for naught.
Does Scavenger restock Stingers again? If so, I'm just gonna hang out in the back and shoot down UAVs until I get a VSAT all day when I finally get my copy.

Are there any redeeming qualities to the Executioner? Such a disappointing gun, right now! The only good setup I can imagine for it is Dual Wield + Laser Sights, maybe?
Absolutely - I'm probably taking Scavenger over on my first prestige, it's just too powerful for so many modes.

Thinking about grabbing this or halo tomorrow ... The last few pages in here haven't been too encouraging. Haven't played CoD since modern warfare 2 ... Burned out back then.

I'm in love with the M8A1...The 4 round burst is sooooo good,man.
For people having lag compensation problems have you tried changing your search preferences to "Best" instead of "Normal"? It worked pretty well for me.

I'm gotta get flack for this, but the Russian campaign in Call of Duty 1 was my favorite. You see, the British one was all lone-wolf and I didn't like it. The american one was good, but the game deserved the critism. It basically was like that the developers had made the game so close to Allied Assault, just to pee in EAs mouth for screwing over 2015.
When COD2 rolled around I got angry because of jaded fanboys who just wanted to justify their 360 purchases. I'll say that the Africa missions did look good, but regen health have never looked so out of place as it did in that game.
COD3 rolls around, and I was bored.
I liked COD4s campaign. I did, but I also felt I played some hokey b-movie pro-america military thing. It felt so close in gameplay to the old game, but they opted for a realistic setting I was sick of.
I didnt play MW2, but it seemed pretty cool. I didn't play World at War.
But I loved Black Ops. Strangely enough, Vietnam is a setting I never get tired of. Unlike WW2 and modern day, Vietnam never got over saturated, and I enjoyed the set pieces. the crazy russian escape, the time travel aspects. It was pretty fun, albeit frustrating trial and error from time to time.
Modern Warfare 3, like BF3 campaign is complete dogpoop. god I hated these campaigns. So unbeliveable boring. Transformers 2 was a masterfilm compared to these two narrative michael bayish disasters.
Will I enjoy Black Ops II?

It helps, switched the preference yesterday morning and the games have been better though it is still apparent every now and then. Where it used to be 50% of games unplayable because of lag comp it's now 90% playable games.
This may possibly fix the whole game for me. Holy shit.
It helps, but don't expect that much.

Search preferences won't matter much when you play with friends who are spread out across the country.
Lag comp simply needs to go, or to go back to CoD4's mp code. Dedicated servers would have been nice too (lol like that would ever happen for console players.)
Black Ops II multiplayer seems like a step forward, and a step back to me.
What I like: class creation, tons of unlockables, better bots, lots of cool scorestreak rewards & gear, more theater filespace
What makes me sad: No more flamethrower or molotovs, same infuriating lag compensation (feels just like MW3), wtf spawn deaths, seemingly more aim assist (borderline aimbot now), and the Fing return of sniper quickscoping (WHY?!?!)
Sigh.

Better than nothing. I've been managing to keep my KDR above 1.0 in most of my games, so this will help me a lot more than if I weren't able to manage to do well in most games.
Agreed, but then again, the russian campaigns in both CoD1 and WaW are basically just Enemy at the Gates: The Game, and you can't go wrong with that.
Because the only way to remove quickscoping would be to remove the entire sniper class, and that's no fun.
