Uploading a 1gb file to rapidshare while I play the pc version has dramatically improved my K.
If only. My internet always turns to shit around 1am and so does my KD.
From positive to negative very quickly.
PC is on dedicated servers. There is no host advantage or disadvantage.
If this was true.
Yeah, I'm soooo disappointed with Zombies. The poor visibility and lack of enough place to run around makes me rage.
I had fun for lots of hours playing Kino Der Toten.

Agreed. Pick 10 works really well to add diversity to the load out options. It's not something you can dismiss by looking at it.

I'm playing console version of COD for the first time (played on pc) and have a question about multiplayer:
I can see that there is aim assist setting even in MP, so what's the situation with that? Isn't it bad to play with aim assist disabled against someone who has it enabled? Is that aim assist subtle and actually a thing of preference, or just a bad game design choice? Is there a way to filter servers and play with players with same settings? Are there any modes that disable aim assist for everyone (hardcore or something)? Should I even bother with all that?
Any general advice for a new console cod player coming from pc? I disabled aim assist right away, but should I continue playing like this, does it make sense at all? I woulld certainly enjoy playing without any aim assist in any game, but this situation is little wierd, as it affects MP game at the core.
Besides this dilemma, I'm really enjoying new COD experience on a console, I'm new to it and it is refreshing to me by itself. I'm tired of over decade and a half of M/K in mp, every game started to feel the same to me, so I want to try something new.
Thanx.

Console versions have a suite of high value aim assists. A short step away from aimbot, imo.
Absolutely. You will be putting yourself at a HUGE disadvantage.
Excessive not subtle, and leads to balancing issues. The only reason I can think of, as to why the aim assist is so strong, is probably to level the playing field and sell more copies.
You can turn off the aim assist for yourself, and that's it. "Hardcore" does nothing but reduce your health to 30%, and remove HUD elements (including the crosshair, lol.)
Turn aim assists back on, absolutely. Unless you enjoy the challenge, and don't mind that everyone else has a HUGE advantage on you. Watch the killcams - notice how people's crosshairs "snap" onto targets, across a surprising distance. Tonight in fact, I had to fight my controls to stop pulling my crosshairs into a rock, where an opponent was hiding behind.
There are M/K adapters out there for consoles. CoD works very well with them.
XIMs probably being the best ones, with 1:1 mouse movement.
If you like CoD, I'd recommend giving HALO4 a try. Halo games feel really good with the controller. Each weapon has a distinctive feel with the rumble pad. That's my recollection of Halo:CE, anyway.

Been playing with the patch for a bit, some random thoughts:
- I was expecting to be fucked over by the UAV nerf, but it's not too bad. Probably make me a better player in the long run.
- Bouncing Bettys are still pretty good. They were pretty OP to begin with though.
- The fact that it was fast was pretty much the only thing I really liked about Lightning Strike, but it still seems pretty effective for some reason so oh well.
- Sensor grenade is actually decent now. I might start using it as my standard tac nade.
- The FAL w/Select Fire is noticeably worse now. Not too bad though.
- I don't think this was in the patch notes, but they added 'XP Gained' and 'XP needed' counters to the match results screen. Not sure why they weren't there to begin with, but I'm glad they added them.
Good patch.

Fired up the PS3 for a few quick rounds last night and got absolutely destroyed. It felt like everyone was hopped up on Energy drinks running around with SMGs, or quickscoping with the Sniper Rifle.
Getting spawn camped on the Cruise ship was a bitch. I seem to get killed in the blink of an eye, yet the replay seems to show something different. Worst experience I've had with the game yet.

Host dashboarded and I got probation, that was the last time I bothered playing the competitive stuff.
I only ever quit in public, so I dont even get why I got that probation warning.

Quick question about Score Streaks.
Does the score stack? I.e. if I have UAV, Lightning Strike and Vtol do I still need 1600 points for the VTOL or does that really increase because I have to also account for the UAV and Lightning Strike?

Simmer down. I wasn't moaning about people picking a map I didn't like. I asked on the off chance there was something about the map I was missing; maybe a glitch or easy camping area or something,

The scorestreak requirement is for when you reach that score, not when you get +1600 more than your previous scorestreak.

Thanks! Glad they didnt do it the other way, would have been annoying.
Also just found out probation affects public mode, what the hell?

It's one of my favorites and I vote for it whenever it comes up. The combo if it being small and flat means there's no million windows at a million different levels you have to be aware of like Yemen so you're not going to get sniped and it's pretty easy to hold down a section/lock another team out of B in Dom.
As long as you're on a team that knows a little about map control there's very little you can do to fuck up a win on that one.
Cool, that's more than fair enough.
Like I say, was just curious. I think there several good maps in Blops 2 but I don't see any that get instantly voted every time they appear like Slums does, so wanted to know if I was missing a trick. If not, and its just that people like it, then great.

They need to up the points in TDM. I went 16-0 before I died and did not earn my Escort Drone
How is that even possible, I thought it was 100 points per kill?
I'd check the film but uh... theater etc.
I think it's 50 points now?
A little question about DLC: I've played on the Wii versions before, and they didn't get DLC at all. Now I'm on the Wii U version. Have there been DLC of maps from older games before? Or do they make new maps? I'd love to see some of the old favourites again... don't really enjoy the new maps as much as many of the old ones.

How do you go through your saved videos and remove them? I can't see options for that.

MW3 had one map from MW2 and BO1 had a remake of a map from WaW (but it didn't really feel right and wasn't as fun), but MW2 wa the last one to really do it properly (like 3-5 retro maps in map packs and one that came with the game was a remake of a CoD2 map).

Bouncing Betty's feel the same to me, still pretty quick to detonate on me, and I get many kills with them.

Meh I can't play till later today. I'm really curious about that shotgun change. You able to test that out?

Only for a while, I was still able to get some long range OHK with the R870, the only thing that feels noticeably different is less UAV's in the air which is great.

Got a great triple kill with the HK drone once. Was on Hijacked, holding down in the rear cabin. On the balcony that overlooks the stern being a douche to the people trying to kill me down below. One of them calls in a care package. Black Hat that shit through the wall, immediately throw it out. Triple Kill.
I laughed like a fucking drain.

They have clearly made tweaks to the matchmaking. It's no longer gathering people strictly by skill.
I'm noticing a much greater variety of k/d ratios in my TDM lobbies. Because of this I feel like I'm seeing less lag, and my k/d is going up rather quickly.
I like the UAV tweak.
Good god are target finders getting popular. They're like the new heartbeat monitor for some people.

oohhh. Well the guy who came up with it did an impressive job.
Yea theres some crazy good ones out there.
Edit: is it just me or does this game have soooo many places where stuff just "hangs" in a loading bit. The theater now syncs in the loading screen forever, and i can't seem to delete emblems anymore... Stupid 3arch symbol just taunting me.

The good thing about that is it fosters a sense of "camping" which means those of us who run around the map will eat them up.
