I was curious how it was in COD4 and it's pronounced there as well. At this point, it's a fundamental pillar of COD games and I don't see them getting rid of it because it is a quirk to give less skilled players a chance which is ultimately a good thing for the devs and publisher.

I'm not bothered by it because I never viewed COD as a pure skill game. There's a lot of skill involved but with killstreaks, flinch and so many other variables involved, it's tough to see it as a purely skill based game like Counter-Strike..

That is MW3, and I think MW3 is the game where I noticed flinch the most, certainly visually.

You don't even need a good headset, Awareness is so good in this game it will work with any shitty pair of headphones you have, and even through your TV speakers, especially if you have Dead Silence as well.

No, not that one.

He said that there is a tab under camos labelled Black Ops 2.

There is a camo, singular, camo for Black Ops 2 under the 'Extras' camo tab.

Not 100% on how this is given to you, I know I was prestige master in BO2, I can only assume it is something like that.

It is black with glowing orange bits.

Edit: actually that's labelled Black Ops III, maybe you friend made the same mistake I did and thought it said II :p

This will pretty much be my last week with codGAF, then I have to take a week break while my eyes heal. At least i'll come back an even better player because i'll be able to see everyone! (right now people blend into the environment due to how bad my vision is lmao)

You are totally right. I just saw the red dot sight and assumed it was COD4. :(

Point still stands though. Heh.

Just went into a lobby and this player was in there. I'm assuming this was just some type of glitch or something, right?

I use the dead silence + awareness combo as well...cause hey why tf not? everyone else does so whats the point of trying to go against something that is so OP its game-breaking. This is the 1st CoD where something is so op that it makes the game so fuken easy it's ridiculous, makes it impossible to do good against a team that's using it.
Clutching a 1-v-something in search where the opposing team is using it? good fuken luck cause youll need a lot of it.
Don't think itll ever get patched either cause the game's been out for 2 months already.

Yeah. After doing some more searching around flinch was introduced in MW2. Videos likethis and this show quite the kick up.

Driftor made a BLOPS2 comparison and it looks like BLOPS3 is somewhere in between no Toughness and Toughness perk but I could be crazy. It's tough to compare without proper testing.

Anyways, watching MW2 videos made me all nostalgic for that UI. I really liked it despite eventually ending up hating what MW2 devolved into.

Error: Communication with the PlayStation Network servers has been interrupted.


I just started getting this error today. The message of the day will pop up but then I'll lose connection. It's nothing on my end, nothing has changed and I can play every other multiplayer game I have fine.

What's going on?
Click to expand...
I got this fixed. Forwarded port 1450 UDP and TCP. Something must have changed on their end that is screwing with UPnP.

I don't know how Vondaharr can say connection is king and sbmm is gone, or that there isn't any bullshit going on because every goddamn TDM game, EVERY ONE, there are 2-4 players on EACH TEAM with a .5 kdr, going fucking 5-15, 10-20. There's some kinda absolute bullshit going on and I'm sick of shit teams dragging me down just because I'm decent. There are never, NEVER games where it's like, everyone got a 1.0 kdr, or everyone except one person did good. There's no variance at all. It's always the same; 1-3 people have to carry a shit team.

Oh yeah for sure.

I took a pic of me going 34-4 or something. Pulled the whole damn game and still lost because the rest of the team went significantly negative

I miss MW2's art style.

But look at COD4 vids. Flinch was nowhere what it is now

Varix sight glitches the camo challenges. You need all 5 kills to come from the same zoom on the varix. If you change zooms, it glitches out the camo challenge.

Thank you for this. I have been doing the bloodthirsty challenge on the m8a6 and I couldn't figure out why they weren't counting.

I played for 2 and a half hours and I finished positive twice. I am trying to do all the challenges for the AR but the problem it is combine after combine after combine after combine so I am losing almost all the one on one battles with the man o war vs sub machine guns. Not only that but I see someone, shoot three shots what is dead center, get one hit marker then I get killed. All night this happened.


I just suck sooooo bad at this game. I am the Philadelphia 76'ers of black ops 3.

Decided to just aim for hero armor instead of daek matter since I don't have much time to go all through guns.

First time using Spectre consistently and my god, his ripper is amazing. Fast and guaranteed 5+ kills per game.

Got diamond ARs tonight. Not really sure if I'm going to try and get diamond for anything else. High caliber attachment made ARs really easy and non-grindy for the most part. Everything else seems like it'll be a pain lol.

Here are my stats after finishing all the camo challenges for AR

Performance-wise I think they're all pretty usable depending on the connection and opponents. When I have a shit host against a bunch of head glitchers I have to default back to the M8 though :\

My experience in Cod has dramatically gotten better recently after getting a new router with some nifty options on it, and turning on it's QoS( Quality of Service) option. Basically a thing called Bluffer bloat has been screwing me over for god knows how long, and QoS fixes that. Doing that fix has dramatically improved my experience in not just CoD, but in every other online game too. Anybody having issues should look into fixing bluffer bloat(via custom firmware or a router with a QoS option on it already) because it adds a whole lot of latency to your connection; fixing this won't fix everything with the game, but it'll make things a whole lot better at least. I have to be averaging a 3.5 k/d solo since I've fixed this 2 weeks ago.

I've been able to use different guns to greater effect too now. The Pharo really is a beast. I'm pulling down 30 and 40 kills in tdm pretty frequently with this gun( mostly on Combine since that's all anybody votes for).

People have already been accusing me of aimbotting, hacking, and lagging (I have 17ms ping and 0% packet loss). I missed the CoD community.

your ping times aren't one static number, they vary depending on which server you connect to, how far, etc.
