Call of Duty: Black Ops II |OT| Black to the Future

Just did 3 matches with the Remington and it does seem like the hit markers close up are more common now... but im still killing people from far.
 
I was thinking that once UAV is up to 425 pts, it might be nice to have a small scorestreak that has very little effect. Something with negligible impact, but might mean something for the player that got it.

It could be good for Search and Destroy where every little strategic bonus matters, and you're not going to see a lot of kills. Also, it could be a nice reward for players who aren't going to ever reach 7 kills in TDM to get that Hellstorm missile. I was thinking of a "Resupply" (i.e. one-time Scavenger) at 275 pts.

Thoughts? Any ideas that could make this worth doing? I'm just having fun with this thought. I don't think they're actually contemplating it.
 
As long as they don't nerf the B23R then I'm happy. I've averaged about a 2.8 kdr with that thing over the last few matches. Love it.


Edit:


You're....celebrating a decline in sales for a game who's thread you actively post in? I don't get it.

I play this game every day, and its the most I have been disappointed in a long long time.

I pray they slow down the god damn game play in the future, this has been so stupid.

If MW4 speeds shit up even faster, I am done. BF 4 will be my only MP game.

maybe favela is back?

That's what I thought at first, but I thought that was already back? In either case, it's super weird that I can't find ANY mention of this anywhere on the internet on the official boards, twitter, Gamefaqs or anywhere of anybody getting a new patch on 360 or it's contents. Bizarre.

I thought it was back in October? But good point I haven't seen it in the rotation.
Me neither, I've been missing it. But a quick google looks like PS3 got the Favela patch in October, maybe it's just now hitting 360?

Good news if so, I was counting on them never bothering and it's one of my favorite maps. Too bad they couldn't be bothered to fix OMA when they were messing around in the code... Come on, how hard could it be to just add "restock_ammo=false" or some shit?

The OP Shotgun gets nerfed pretty quick in every CoD. 1887, Spas, etc offhand.

I don't remember the ones in MW and Blops.
No, that has never happened. There was a glitch in the akimbo 1887 range (it was basically doubled instead of the intended halving) and that was fixed, no shotgun has ever been noticeably rebalanced. Actually, wait, the MW3 shotguns were buffed a few months after release.

People really underrate the TAR. It's so far my favorite weapon, but I refuse to use SMGs or Shotguns because of how OP they are. Starting to get pretty good. Once you quit relying on grenades and shit and just focus on gunplay you really wreck people.

Also, I've taken to using people's "awareness" against them. I purposely don't shoot down UAVs or silence my weapons now. I also run flak jacket and tac mask so I can take advantage of people thinking I'm going to be an easy kill when in fact, I've set them up.

I may not even bother unlocking ghost.

Completely random, pointless, and really stupid.

Yeah, pretty much this and it shows how "bro" this game is.

Post over on Den Kirson's forums, they love this sort of thing

Don't suppose they nerfed OMA?

Man, if they made the DLC maps free for everyone and nerfed OMA, I'd run right back to MW2. Netcode is so much better, guns actually kill people reliably.

Who?

But yeah, the netcode is night and day between MW2 and BO2, it's ridiculous. I didn't have nearly the problems most people have with lag/host advantage in BO2, but MW2 feels and behaves way better. Still the same usual bullshit that every CoD has, but the fact that it feels and plays better than BO2 is ridiculous.

EDit: Yeah, also no changes to OMA. Seems to be the same amount of time, and it still refills your noobtube ammo even flip-flopping between the same two classes. Unless there's another aspect of it I'm forgetting, it's been years (just very recently started playing again).

Man, the FFA spawns are awful. They need to add some spawns in the middle of maps for that mode specifically. If you want to see how bad they are go play gun game where there is a UAV up all the time.

The Warthog is one of the coolest scorestreaks in this game.

It's also one of the most useless. Used it on Overflow and not one strafing run took out a player. It's so simple to avoid it too. Hear it coming? Run into a building. So on a map like Express, it's a waste of a scorestreak slot.

At the very least, it shouldn't have higher requirements than the escort drone.

You think BO2 is fast? Id say all treyarch games are pretty slow.

So I confirmed that when I host I am getting screwed. I had a match, and the frame rate was dropping. I was dead before I saw anyone, and the kill-cam showed something different. I just left the match, and my party all confirmed that it instantly did a host migration the second I left. After that I set up all my netflix players, had a bunch of demos downloading on steam...and after that while I had good games and bad...it never felt like I was being screwed.

So they can talk all they want about how to improve your game performance, but if you actually have great internet speed...and you run the max bandwidth test in the black ops menu... you are being screwed....period....

When I get host, the game plays like how its suppose to. I'm not understanding how others who have host have these terrible experiences. There's gotta be something really wonky with how it all works.

With bo2 I don't want to be host because that means I'll lose all fair gun fights. Quite a departure. I prefer 3 bars for bo2, although I stop playing a week ago.

That Savage video is ridiculous. Don't recall having anything like that happen to me.
You must have a bad connection. Happened to me every 3-4 matches until I quit playing.

Guys a new patch went up

* Fixed hit-detection
* Adjusted Respawns
* Removed lag compensation
* War & Death Machine now random care package exclusives
* Removed quick-scoping
* UAVs now the same score as Counter-UAVs
* Removed Orbital VSTAT
* Removed Hunter Killer Drones
* Iron Sights a level 1 unlock for Sniper rifles
* Removed Lightning Strike
 
Still need to finish Campaign. Zombies gameplay sucks compared to BO1. Its only fun with others to play with now. The Added bots within the disc was a great idea in MP. Weapons are alright but BO1 felt more balanced. I do like the new additions to your killstreaks but dislike the added double perks or tactical additions when removing your secondary slot. That doesn't even look legit at all and would break map flow, imo. Planning to buy it next year.
