Servers perform way worse on event weekends like 2xp. I have very few connection issues until 2xp ect then I find tons of laggy out of sync games. It has nothing to do with good people playing.

How do people do the OHK challenges for the shotguns? I tried HC Dom last night with the Argus with fast hands and gung-ho equipped but I can barely get a single kill. I see an enemy I hit my trigger they also fire and I die every time before my gun even fires. I even have an elite controller with the trigger throw set to the smallest setting but it doesnt help at all. Is it possible to get OHK's with the shotguns outside of HC?
It's both.

Play to the shotgun's strengths. Try and get the drop on people when you are behind them, and try not to get sucked into ranges where the other guy's guns will do better. (Except for SMG's I guess, since that's unavoidable)
Also, try and play small maps like Skyjacked and Combine. And yes, you can get OHK's in Core.

I was about to come back and edit my post and say it's not the good players who show up for 2xp. They are always playing the game that's how you get good.
The real problem is all the bad kids who don't know any better playing on wifi while people stream and download shit. Good serious players know not to play on wifi and how to setup a network.
Theoretically we should see better connections during double xp as a larger player base should give us more local players but I usually see the opposite.

Thanks for the reply. I dont think I could have taken another night of going 3 -31 in matches and shit like that. Hopefully core will better.

Only way you get the best connection in this game is to play solo and get connected to your region's host. That's almost always a guarantee youll get good connection but will get stuck with shit teammates so prepare to carry.
But if youre in a party then good luck, everyone being from different states/regions = lag central, lag compensation of peace, rage inducment....but youll still win if your party knows how to play.

The KRM and Argus(especially when ADS'd) should regularly OHK in Core within their ranges. I would not take them to hardcore seeing as almost all other weapons OHK in close to medium range in there.

I need Treyarch to ban splitscreen online multiplayer on PC. I can't deal with another 1-18 and 1-24 co-op duo. I don't think I've seen two strong splitscreen players yet.
They also need to figure out a way to minimize the damage a terrible player does to the game. These 1-22 guys naturally gravitate towards my team.

I dunno about you guys, servers are wotking fine for me.

Just started using the Argus seriously and I got Motherships with it rather easily. I'll be posting games of it soon.
Argus has decent one hit kill range in core modes. Just use Awareness and wait for guys to run around corners if you still have trouble with it.

Thanks for the replies. I am doing so much better in core. Got 20 OHKs with it in one match of safeguard on nuketown. Just wait in the house every time a red dot pops up jump out blasting. HC to Core is night and day with that gun.

This game changes so much I don't know if I like it any more, does that make sense?

I don't know what has changed that has made it bad, but I've been enjoying myself with just using AR's, in a game where SMG's supposedly rain supreme.

I dunno, I do pretty well with the Marshal 16. Here's a match I just had today, 40-2 using it.

You could've done 40-2 or better with any other gun with that positioning though. 40-2 doesn't make the marshal good it just means you're good.

Thinking about it, maybe it's the fact I am trying to grind dark matter and I am using the weapons I don't normally use that's the problem.
Couple that with the fact that when I get to the smg's I have no idea how they'll handle because they are always changing, I mean now it's probably going to be very hard to use the vesper after the heavy nerf.

I'm new to black ops. But quick question. If I prestige my weapons without prestige my level (still at lvl 55). If I was to prestige my level in the future. Do I need to prestige all my weapons again? I know I have to unlock the weapons again but does it reset the weapons from pestige to.. 0 again as well?
Debating if I should do the level now that I prestiged a few weapons .. I don't mind if I need to unlock them again. But don't want to prestige weapons again.

No they are separate, your weapon prestige level will remain if you prestige your account.
Weapon challenges and camo unlocks do not reset either.

Trying for bloodthirsties?
Use rejack, it doesn't disrupt your KS for knife kills AFAIK, unless it's been patched.
Weapon levels, camo's, attachments, etc are completely separate from your rank...the only thing you have to do is get back to the required rank to unlock the weapon itself...
Go ahead and prestige..don't be that guy with 30k kills and still sitting at lvl 55
That's what I've been using. The knife just doesn't fit my playstyle(run around like an idiot and die alot). Five fricking kills though? why not four or three, they would be hard enough.

So I just found out that I cant possibly unlock and use everything in this game without prestiging. I think this is really stupid, and basically kills my interest in continuing playing the game.
How many times would I need to prestige in order to get enough tokens to unlock everything?

i don't get it. do people not see the ready-up button in the Zombies lobby?

At the end of prestige 10, you hit max which unlocks everything. Before then, you'll never quite have enough tokens. You do get to refund all of your tokens once per prestige if you want to try new stuff though.
So I've managed to diamond for all the primaries but LMGs so far, which I only have the 48 Dredge. I'm reaching my final conclusions about the game, it's a good CoD game, but my hopes that this would be the one to elevate the series beyond mediocrity (MW2 was the last good one, imo) were disappointed. Which is a shame, because Zombies is really good. Multiplayer just has way too many issues for me to be happy with it.
Any advice for the getting Glitch kills and sidearm/knife? Those are really all I have left.

They did, conveniently in time for the new weapons.
Really? That's pretty shady.
