Call of Duty: Black Ops III |OT| No Content For Old Gen

Goddamn. If Treyarch doesn't take some of that half billion to work servers on PS4 I'm out. This BS is one of the reasons I stopped playing. Absolutely zero fucking reason to go from 2:1 to 0.4 in a matter of hours. None. Every damn killcam the past few games I barely get a round off when I'm getting multiple hit markers like mad. No reason for that shit.

Man. How common is this after the initial launch?

Did past dedicated server COD games get fixed?

How does AW run?
 
It is quite disgusting that a game which makes so much money doesn't have genuine dedicated servers across the board.

Black Ops 3 is a fantastic game but lag issues etc always let it down. Step it up Bobby you rich see you next tuesday.

I was stinger 24/7. I'm the guy who shot down every. single. UAV. the enemy threw up there. My brother and friend loved it.

In my parties, you have to fight to take down a UAV. 9/10 times by the time I pull out my blackcell and aim at the UAV it already says 'Teammate Lock-On' (which is a great feature :D)

That's awesome. I wonder if it works if a teammate is trying to hack it.
 
Either I'm just lucky or a bunch of y'all need to step up your internet game. Get off that wireless if you're on it. I hardly have any lag. If I do then a lobby switch resolves it quick styles.

It's really inconsistent.

It's also often worse in parties, because apparently if it can't find a server that has a good ping for everyone, it reverts to p2p.

Last night was good for me, all dedis all night long on PS4, and my shot was on the mark.

... unfortunately this left me no room to complain about laggy bullshit when I died :(

Switched to a long ass ethernet cable and now I'm beasting. You guys gotta ditch those wireless connections.
 
I didn't go positive for my first 10-15 games.

Now I am going at least even or better every game. It's clicking. And I love it.

Still need some good partners for Zombies though.

Black ops 1 hardcore was my shit. Ended up with ann average K/D of 2.76 after hours and hours of play. So i bought this one, this being my first COD since Blops 1. And doing okay in reg tdm but nothing special. But on hardcore oh boy went on a 8 kill killstreak on a map i dont know shit about and ended up 2nd on that stage thingie. Looks like im going to stick with hc for a while yo.

I'm pretty new to cod and have a question, I'm using the icr-1 and have 6 attachments on it so no sidearm or perks. Is that a smart strategy? My kdr is only .89 so I'm not great lol but I do tend to be in top 3 the last few days so any help is appreciated :)

Been on a wired connection since I started playing this series with MW2, and the netcode gets worse and worse every game. Doesn't matter if I'm in a party or not.

I really wish Treyarch would encourage objective play. Domination seems like where a lot of KDR tryhards go to pad kills

That's true in every objective mode. If you want to play to win, play in a party, randoms are never going to be consistently objective focused.

Good old CoD.

Yes but I feel they can definitely encourage better play

For one, KDR should not be tracked or shown in Domination.

Score, Caps, Capturing Kills and Defensive Kills should be the only things shown and glorified

I mean, it's such a simple fix but it's nonsense that so many players stat pad in modes where they can pick off objective players

Scorestreaks improved upon killstreaks.

No reason why they cant do the same for these troed and true modes. Itd at least be enjoyable to play games where the focus isnt on KDR

I'd argue part of the objective is to overcome that obstacle of people concentrated on mostly killing. It's not like that doesn't help the team, just killing people.

This is too broad of a question to answer simply

In general, no, running 0 perks isn't a great idea - the powerful defensive perks can save your life, the powerful informational perks can get you kills.

I'd recommend Flak Jacket, Hard Wired, and Awareness (if you have headphones) or Dead Silence (if you don't). Engineer is a really good perk 3 also, strong with a launcher to protect against enemy streaks and equipment, and strong in general to avoid equipment/streaks on the map.

Those three will protect you from explosives and some streaks/specialist weapons, tracker/sixth sense, and soundwhores, three really common sources of death.
 
Just earned a Super Kill medal (6 rapid kills) during a game of Domination. They kept spawning at C while I was trying to cap it, lol. Will upload that soon.

A Super Kill medal is one of the Dark Ops challenges, btw.

Really like this calling card I just got (not the Super Kill one):

I'm completely awful at this game. No clue how people can be so good at it. Played a game the other day and the leader went 24-4 and I went 4-13. So demoralizing.

Yeah I figured it would be a hard question to answer, but you got me in the right direction. I'll play around with those perks thanks.

funny took me until this game to realize that CoD doesn't count the round in the chamber when reloading (I guess that little mechanic being in BF4 which I played quite a lot until bo3 made me more aware of it), actually had to go and look up videos of previous cod games to see if it's just a blops3 quirk or if it's a general CoD thing ^^

Slow down. Don't move in a straight line towards the enemy spawn. Stay near your team.

Yeah slowing things down helps a lot. I think a part of getting better at COD (apart from getting a feel for the maps and their lines of sight) is learning when to rush into position for an advantage or slow down and take a corner cautiously.

I'm always crouching and going slow but I still get owned. I guess my reflexes suck

CoD isn't a reflexes game, really. I have an easier time gunning kids down in CoD than I do in Halo - that's a reflexes game.

Don't crouch, just don't rush. Pick an area of the map and lock it down. Don't camp a corner in a room, pick an area, say, one side of B in Dom, or one field of view near a bomb spot in Demo, or one part of the map in TDM/KC, and hold that area.

If the spawns flip, change positions and set up shop in a similar area on the other side of the map.

Start learning where enemies attack from so you can prepare for them.

Don't run out in the middle of the map. Don't rush the enemy spawn. Don't stand in obvious sniper lanes or silhouetted in windows. Don't kill three people from behind one rock and stay there after they respawn.

As much as the meth addicted 13 year old SMG rushers might make you think otherwise, rushing is not easy, and is not the path to a healthy k/d, scorestreak spree, or good time in general (though you will piss off your entire team by constantly flipping the spawns, thanks meth addicts).

Rushing (well) is hard, and the strongest skill in CoD for rushing or camping is situational awareness - and you can learn how to be aware more easily by starting defensively and then putting what you've learned to use while rushing.

If you're having more fundamental problems like basic gunskill, then yeah, you just need practice, but shooting mans in CoD isn't very hard, it's more about being in the right place at the right time with the right loadout.

Slow down, realize you don't need to be sprinting everywhere to contribute, think about what you're doing and what is getting you killed.

Start from there and you'll improve.
 
Anyone face this particular issue in the campaign: While playing through the campaign, game's traversal and aiming movements on the sticks become extremely laggy, it stays that way until and unless you restart the entire game.
 
Something just feels a bit off about the multiplayer to me. In 1 on 1 situations, I feel like I most of the time get the jump on shooting someone but almost always die first, like their gun is stronger than mine.

I also really dislike how maze like a lot of the maps are. Feel like there are too many entrances so I'm constantly getting snuck up on.

I love Gun Game. Am I the only one? Wish it was in every fps lol

I love the mode , but i loathe it in this.
Having UAV constantly on and showing where everyone is , at all times , is stupid as fuck.

It's apparently to stop "Camping" but it makes it easier...

Too bad , because i love the mode , but i really hate it in this game

This is a very common complaint. Sometimes I will get enough hit markers to down an elephant but I still won't get the kill, it's as if half of them didn't register.
