Should've thought about it some more before posting, it doesn't make sense for it to work the same way since Gears had server side hit detection and Call of Duty client side. So then yeah, I have no clue to how the freezing worked then.
as for quickscoping in this game, as with anything else I think it's just the lag making things worse (or at the least making things seem worse)then what they should be. For as slow as these snipers rifles scope in, there shouldn't be any reason why a guy with a sniper rifle is beating anybody to the draw consistently. But because the game has so many sync issues, that guy who came around the corner to snipe you looks like he has godlike accuracy, speed, and a whole lot of aim assist working in his favor. In reality though, he rounded the corner, acquired where you were at, lined up his shot a bit, waited til that slow ass scope in was 3/4 of the way done, and popped you while you were looking like an idiot because while he was doing all of that, he wasn't even registered on your screen. I know lag is an easy scapegoat, but it seems like the most plausible reason to me in this instance.
hate to do it, but pop in MW2 and see how many times you die from a quickscoper, I bet it's less than in BO2 and MW3

I thought it was pretty funny and I hate campers. I'm the guy whose thumb hurts from mashing the sprint button for hours.
That said, since I saw this video yesterday, I've ran into 2 different people trying this exact same thing on the same map, same place. Without as much success though. Word travels fast I guess.
Bitch of the day: They need to remove tac insert from kill confirmed. I feel like its unfair to automatically deny the killer access to the tag because it disappears in 0.5 seconds as soon as the guy respawns. Cheap.

That was so well thought out, you gotta appreciate it. Why did nobody throw a grenade thingy over the balcony from outside?
Anyway, I just played a couple of rounds. I was in *beast mode* (~1.8 KD) and the sad thing is, I know for SURE that the next time I'll play this game, I will get my ass handed to me. Why is that?

There was two guys doing this a few days ago, the 2nd guy was set up to the left of the guy in the video, just in front of the metal gate where the video guy put his turrent.
Not sure how much fun it was to be camped in that room for a whole match, but that's some people for you.

Switch to the PC version which has dedicated servers?
I have this on PC, there are NO dedicated servers. There is no refuge my friend. But, at least CoD4 is still fun.

Yeah. We're rocking dedicated servers over here in pc land and it feels good. I feel really bad for our console bros
This game is a blast when you're not worrying about lag every other match. I can't go more than a round or two when I play on PS3.
His shotgun says "I CAMP" on it LOL
I wonder how widespread this misconception is because I've been seeing this claim in other places as well.

That's the best CoD video I've seen, and the commentary is priceless! "Hope you like lead salad mothafuckas" hahahaha.
What, the idea that BLOPS 2 doesn't have dedicated servers when it in fact does?
Yes. I'll even see the occasional rage over a supposed "shitty host" in-game.
LOL that was pretty funny. Anyway, or at least on that level, if you simply don't walk into the room he won't get any kills. Cannot believe people keep walking into that mess.
I have a problem with getting rage vision after getting killed by campers, and going back to kill them, but with all that stuff in the room, I think I'd learn my lesson after the first time. Now I'm curious, I wonder what his strategy is on the other maps.

How hard is it to throw an emp grenade up there, or to just ignore him?
edit: looks likes he brings it up in the video, it does pose a good question though, would emps work with the trophy system in place? I can't check right now.
Lmao. The guy knows whats up.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect tacticals but even if it did, you can just throw an EMP on the first floor and it'll still take them out because it has such a huge range.
Could be.
Yes, I constantly take out areas guarded by trophy systems using EMPs. The range is absurd, one thrown on the bottom level of the boat would have likely destroyed every piece of equipment in that room.
This is why every class I roll with has EMPs. And as the guy in the video mentioned, one "EMP would have gave you enough points for a swarm!" lolz
If quickscoping is so easy, why is it 99% of the time when someone is quickscoping in game they go negative?
Seriously, for all the people in this thread who says it's easy, can I watch you go a round or two doing it and having a high K/D ratio to prove it? I'm not doubting you, I play with aim assist off so maybe that is why I have so much difficulty finding it easy myself. But like I said most people in game do bad when doing it, from my experience.
It seems if anything the RoF is a huge hindrance. Can't see how it is easier than say mowing people down with an SMG in this game, or getting 1HKs back to back with the KSG, etc.

Man, I could watch this dude play all day just for the raged filled outbursts alone, lol!
Who cares about K/D, it's the total bullshit of being unavoidably one-shot in even one instance.
I 1HK people all the time using my KSG and long barrel from the same ranges snipers quickscope...
Watch the youtube quickscope accuracy videos and see the effective range of it.
Then check the KSG 1HK videos. Not only that, but the KSG has a higher rate of fire.
Not seeing your point at all.

It's too bad that I wasn't in that lobby. He would have been so easy to disarm and execute.
It's not easy, people just complain about it because it's annoying to die that way when you're on a good streak. And, like putin posted, it's made worse and even more annoying by the lag. I mean, we see killcams where an SMG spray looks like it misses 90% of its bullets all the time and get annoyed, but somehow it's even more annoying when it's just one bullet that looks like it missed you.
But, yeah, I do agree with you and I find it absurd that people like to complain about how they "abuse aim assist," as if the SMGs, LMGs or ARs don't do the exact same thing.

I kind of wish Sniper rifles would be taken out of the game.

It just annoys me that i shoot first yet lose firefights to snipers very often.
It's going to happen whenever in gun fights with an enemy that has a 1HK weapon.
Whether it be a 870 user up close, a KSG user who knows how to aim, or even a ballistic knife thrower.
I have a blast running around smaller maps with ballistic knives and getting kills by shooting them. People said it was cheap since I kill them even though they get the first shot. If you are getting annoyed because you are dying to someone who is shooting ballistic knives at you even though you fired first, something is wrong at your end.
If you play on hardcore, you'll find that this is less of a problem, as pretty much any gun will kill the person really, really fast.
If you play objective modes, especially on ground war, they offer a unique role that adds a level to complexity
I don't play TDM (unless it is part of a clan challenge I'm in or something) so the snipers you encounter are mostly hardscopers, providing cover while the team caps a point.

Even the amazing quick scopers dont do that well, everytime I play against a good one I look at the scoreboard and he will be like 25-20. Which is good but I have yet to see one go like 40-3 quickscoping. Somehow they still make me rage more than the guy going 40-3.

Get your shield kills on Hardcore Hijacked, one hit kills with it on HC and the map is small enough to surprise people. The later challenges for shield will have to be spread out over other maps and game types, though domination is good for the axe challenge.

FINALLY got the "cap all 3 domination flags for 3 min" challenge earlier today with friends. Feels good.
In other news, just experienced some glitch where I couldn't kill anyone and they couldn't kill me. It's like I was in the game but I wasn't. We could see each other and shoot each other but it had no effect on us. Very weird. When I noticed this, I jumped off the map to see if that would fix things but it didn't so I left the room.
There was a host migration that happened during halftime (playing domination btw) which may have been the cause? I'll be uploading the clip later.

So the Trip Cap challenge has to be three consecutive minutes I guess? Because I was in a game where there were only 3 people on the other team, we won something like 200-30, holding all the flags for I don't know how long and ended up with nothing.
Sucks because its the only dom challenge I'm missing and I'll never get it unless I stumble into a game with a team that is going for it.
Didn't realize how much I miss flak jacket either until I prestiged again and wasted my permanent unlock on the FAL, lol.

Yes. Maybe they cap one in the middle of the game.
Got it when blops decided to drop 5 people from the enemy team and forgot to add more.
I've come to the conclusion that it is impossible to play Dom efficiently without flak jacket (unless you play a purely defensive role).
I tried to get by without using it, it is impossible to consistently capture points (especially B) without it. The difference it makes is retarded. You go from dying because a grenade blew up 10 ft away from you, behind a short wall to being able to see the semtex stuck right in front of your feet and walking away from it like nothing.
I tried to even replace flak jacket with trophy systems. Doesn't work. Within about 5 seconds of the opposing team spamming grenades, both trophy systems are gone.
