Neck high walls are everywhere in this game, it's stupid, they have only a tiny part of their body exposed with you completely out there.

Is there really any point to clans anymore?
While there are no operations right now, I'm sure there will be some in the future, but there are no good rewards for leveling up clans anymore, besides I guess the yellow clan tag, which we already have.
we don't want you in our clan anyways
It's actually not that bad in this game. A lot of the spots leave your full head exposed and some of the spots have your upper body exposed as well. In MW3 there were so many headglitch spots that were forehead high. It was impossible to get them even if you knew exactly where they were

Actually going to rent this today and play the campaign.
I enjoyed the original BLOPS campaign.

Thank god I only played that game for like 4 days if that was worse than BO2, at this point I know where every spot is, and I'm usually aimed towards the spot when I turn corners and get the kill most of the time, but I still find it annoying.
I'm not convinced that you've ever played a CoD game.

It does. It's not as tight as Steady Aim made SMGs in previous games, though.
Well yeah, you're pretty much throwing a buzz saw at them.
I agree; these are probably the best maps in the series. Best gun balance, too; just hope they work on the netcode.
If they fix it, as in move the camera, you wouldn't be able to get a clean shot on someone that might have a clean shot on the top of your head. ...That's the only reasoning I could think of.
I felt BO did a good job of designing maps without those spots while MW3 has a few seemingly overlooked spots and BO2 has Cargo and Carrier which seemed to be designed around. I always countered it with LMG+Deep Impact but some barrels in BO2 don't seem penetrable.

I know I should have expected this, but TDM always turns into a campfest now. Everyone can be running around the map at first. But as soon as someone gets a big streak, or my teams just winning in general, the other team just plants there asses into a corner.
I would love to run the higher kill streaks, but I play solo most of the time, and can never trust my teammates to even get a UAV.
Did this randomly once. Got three hit markers then dead. You can do the same with grenades in the other games, but you have to be super close to get the impact kill. Another plus for the bouncing betties, the new claymore.

What he meant to say was, it was your fault for not having eyes in the back of your head and being shot in the back.
I played 2500+ hours of high skilled competitive CoD2 on PC, so yeah.
So what difference does it make wether or not your enemy is "headglitching" or not when you get shot in the back anyways?

For the past day and a half it's been almost impossible to get into a ground war match. It just gets stuck at the pre game lobby and does the "need more players to balance" thing, over and over. The few matches that actually managed to start were unbearably laggy, like tele-lag. Does play testing before a game is shipped even happen any more?

They do happen but more often than not, the launch date takes priority over fixing bugs. And playtesting and regular QA isnt the same thing.

This game purposely spawns people basically anywhere on the map with very little strategy involved just to have people run around constantly.
That is a very real issue but it still doesn't have anything to do with the headglitching discussion.
That's nice. This thread is about BO2, though.

Ive never noticed it before like i did in this game multiple times. I could barely see the top of the guys head and on the kill cam his arms and gun are above the wall. Its garbage. It gives the opposing player a false sense of security and should be fixed. If the guy isn't showing IG to the opposing player, the guy shouldn't be hitting me. Its a glitch plain and simple.
Other games deal with this and normally they just make my bullets hit a rock or something even tho it seems from my point of view that it should be fine. It happened to me quite often and i always wondered why it did that. Now i know. Good design.

Pretty sure you lose EVERYTHING. It's as if you never played the game before.
For some reason I feel the need to run around like an idiot in this game instead of playing a smart pick-and-pop style that lends itself to a good KDR. I've been playing a ton of hardpoint, and I need to start playing smart rather than just zerg rushing the hill all the time.

I feel like it's a total toss up if I get 3 shot kills or 8 shot kills far away with the S12 and M1216.

Thats exactly when my K/D ratio started to go up. Its as if people are just so anxious to get points in this game that they just forget that you'll also get them in the next match too.

I hate the fact that I'm punished because I have high speed internet. I need it for other reasons but I cant stand that it's ruined one of my favorite games for me. It's soooooo frustrating when you have the drop on a guy that you know is coming around the corner and you know that he doesnt know youre coming and bam, you're dead. This happens farrrrrr too many times to be a coincidence. I know exactly what it is when it happens and it makes me want to quit playing and I usually do. I dont wanna be like that but I refuse to play a game where I dont at least have a fair fight.
What can I do to help myself? Should I download some ridiculously large file while I'm playing or?
The only real way to do it is running some software that causes packet loss and other stuff I don't know about, there are probably youtube videos on it.
Saw a dude today that had so much lag comp, I swear his connection could see into the future. Every time I'd anticipate him coming around the corner, I'd take cover and instantly die, but his killcam showed me standing there for far longer than I actually did... This netcode blows my mind sometimes.

Just started the campaign.
WTF is this visually impressive 60fps shit playing on my Xbox? I was recently blown away by Halo 4's sheer graphical power, but all things considered, Black Ops II is equally impressive for being 60fps while looking as good as it does. I'd much rather every game go the BO2 route and sub-HD it up with a few blurry textures. The 60ps just can't be beat.
Anyway yeah, shit looks good. Apparently not all sub-HD resolutions are created equal.

Bouncing Betties are the best! I just run around chucking them like Frisbees at people, up in the air, at objectives etc.
I already have my awesome Betty card background thing for 300 kills with them lol.

The S12 and M1216 have wider spread patterns than the 870 and KSG because of their semi-automatic/automatic nature. If you're having trouble making mid range shots then equip a long barrel and/or aim down the sights. Aiming down the sights with shotguns in this game defies gun rules and actually tightens the spread, significantly in most cases.
Claymores are super effective for me right now. I think It's because no one is really expecting them yet this early. I unlocked them with my permanent unlock when I was 2nd prestige and they have been getting hundreds of kills so far.
It's funny watching enemy players run around the corner and duck down, only to get blown up anyway because they think the click sound is from a betty.

Shock charges, bouncing betty or claymore, and scavenger = ultimate defense 
Exactly what I've been experiencing the majority of the time I'm playing. Every time I think I got the upper hand, I get killed by the lag comp.
I feel like I'm being forced to play a more conservative, campish style just to be able to compete and contribute.

I've noticed a few games where we would dominate one guy for most of the game and then there after every time you'd encounter the same guy and only that guy the game would start to stutter. I'm assuming some kind of lag switch coming into play?

Hey a Tweet from Vahn acknowledging issues involving pumping a whole clip into someone.

I ADS almost 100% of time and always use Long Barrel when I have it. The spread's the same for the 870 and the automatics; the only difference is damage and RoF.
A friend and I are having terrible luck with games today, every Ground War is doing nothing but balancing teams, Team Deathmatch wont even let us in and keeps erroring out either trying to go into a lobby or as a match starts, some weird "modifying session" nonsense.
This game is all sorts of fucked up at the moment, lol.
And also these Sniper guys carrying pistols, not only do the Sniper Rifles which ohk you at any range, the pistols have a habit of killing faster than SMGs.

I like how he posts this : @DavidVonderhaar: @etilt44 Helpful video, but the Theater comparison won't help me me. No latency and likely not your view of the world at the time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvUGKyWrepA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Yet in the video the guy shows live and theater side by side showing the difference. I think they just refuse to believe their game isn't as great as they think it is.
