Flawless for every other game available on any platform. NAT settings are open.
In any case, even if you take the bad netcode out of the equation, you still have the bad maps, the bad weapon balance, the bad killstreak balance, and the complete lack of any gameplay evolution whatsoever.
Sledgehammer is cruising to a big paycheque with this game, but they've done their studio no favors as far as establishing a reputation.
This is B-Tier stuff at best.
Call of Duty has not evolved anything since COD 4, I'm pretty sure you would have known this already when you bought the game. It is about refining and perfecting the formula which I must say they have done an excellent job at. All I can do is recommend you sell it if you can't feel the game at all.The Antitype said:
However I would vaguer that it is not all about the "netcode" and also about how you play.The Antitype

I'll definitely sell it after I finish Spec Ops.
Jeez.. I know how you feel though I can't say I've been on your position. You got your ass kicked in the game and just can't take it anymore, so instead of wondering if perhaps you are not as good, or your connection is bad, you decide to blame it all on the game.The Antitype said:
The maps are not bad. A couple of them are (Downturn and Carbon), but the rest are alright, and when you actually learn them, they feel pretty good. Not CS-good, but good enough for the kind of gameplay involved in this game (respawning all the time, etc..)
The weapons not well balanced is a first. There are a couple that might be slightly overpowered as some people say here, but I have beaten people with those weapons, so it's not like they are unstoppable. I actually think this is the best balanced COD game.
The killstreaks are fine as they are. I really don't know what game are you talking about. Perhaps you bought MW2 instead? That would explain a lot of things.
What gameplay evolution where you expecting though? Really, this feels like a COD game, and that's what everybody came in expecting.
Sledgehammer has worked on what could be the best COD campaign of the last few years. They surely did good enough and everybody here is saying pretty much the same.
The game is far from perfect, and I think the worst things right now are the three or four maps that suck the most, and Elite not being up. Otherwise it's good as it is.

Whatever. Had a 1.9 K/D yesterday, weapons were actually killing people in less than a clip.
Today, 1.1 K/D and I unload a clip into somebody just for them to turn around and kill be with a single burst.
So either I magically got terrible at the game overnight, or shitty netcode is shitty and can't handle the load.
Half way through any match I've played, the skies are FILLED, with up to three fucking kill-streaks from either team. All the kills from which stack into the next killstreak. It's laughable.
And yes, this campaign is fucking awesome if you love being driven around and placed on a turret. Then you're sure to love it.
I rescind my previous statement. The game is not bad. It is trash.
Eh.. what about.. when you first started playing you got paired with low-level people, which includes new people to the series that don't know how to play. As you leveled up, you started to get paired with higher level people, which started to kick your ass.The Antitype said:
Besides that, your connection could be acting wonky today. I live in Japan where the game is not even on sale yet (17th of this month), so the only people with the game are people that imported it, which means, not many. And even then I get lag-free rooms 99% of the time. Explain me that...
As for the killstreaks, I don't really know. I have yet to see anything like that and I'm already level 53. You might be out of luck or something, but most games I've played have, at most, a couple UAVs flying (which I usually take down, so whatever..).
Regarding the campaign... whatever. Not all games have to be open and let you go everywhere. If COD is aiming for a more 'cinematic' experience with big sets and lots of action, that's good. And I don't think most of us go into COD expecting something like GTA or whatever you might be expecting.
Saying the game is trash is not the best thing to do, really. The game might not be the best game ever. And many people will not enjoy this kind of gameplay (though, selling so well, I'd say most people do..). But it's far from being trash.

Done. As the merchant from RE4 would say...Strider2K99 said:

Is IW upscaling, unless you select Native?
Textures set on extra.
Ultra:
Native:
Apparently setting the Image Quality to Extra is really upscaling 720p instead of your native resolution so switching it to Native made a huge difference in clarity for me.

I do play with a regular team. And we win alot. My W/L is somewhere close to 3.0.
The problem is, I'm always around 1.0 or under because my weapons do less damage than anyone elses.
Win or lose, there's nothing fun about being fucked over by a game's haphazard quality.

I alternate all the fucking time to try and break out of the slump.
I like mid-range battles and using the sights, so I go with assault rifles.
I use the M4 (which is what got me to 1.9 yesterday), the CM901 and the G36C.
All the same issue. Pump half a clip into a guy to kill him (if I'm lucky), hearing the clicks of the hashmarks the whole way, only for the guy to turn about and kill me with one burst, often (hilariously) with the same weapon I was shooting him with.

CozMick said:So what's everyone else rolling with?
For me:
M4A1 w/ Holo
MP7
Kick
Sleight of Hand Pro
Assassin Pro
Stalker Pro
And if you say UMP then you don't deserve to quote me
The setup I had the most success with (yesterday) before this newfound difficulty dealing damage was:
M4A1 w/ Hybrid Sight
MP7
Kick
Blindeye
Assassin Pro
Marksman
It's cool that you're loving the game, but I think you're being far too forgiving of the game. You are not the only person having a "lag-free" experience while everyone else has a terrible connection or whatever, you're just the only one not noticing how incredibly laggy the game is. For the record, I'm rocking 100mbit with a perfectly set-up Linksys router and every other encounter is 100% bullshit for me! Dude enters my screen and I instantly die, killcam shows him being in the room for a good second or two before firing.Mik2121 said:

It's not your connection's fault, it's the game. I also have 4 bars in every game I play, as do the opponents, but see many of the same situations. Turn a corner, instadie.The Antitype said:

It's not a particularly well-crafted game, so you'll be surprised how many 'Wha?!' moments occur both in the action and in the menus.

Kick will always help you. Stability only really works when you've been ADS for a little bit, which generally isn't necessary. If you have your sights trained on a particular spot, zoom in and out about every second to keep the sway from building up - there is little to no sway when you initially zoom.
My setups
Assault
M4A1 (outstanding rifle, can compete with anything imo) w/ Red Dot, Kick
FMG9 w/ Red Dot
Bouncing Betty/Flash
Scavenger
Quickdraw
Stalker (Should be Dead Silence)
Stealth
SCAR-L w/ Suppressor, Kick (SCAR-L chosen for it's superior iron sights) or UMP45 (low recoil, seemingly better range than other SMGs) w/ Suppressor, Kick
FMG9 w/ Suppressor
Bouncing Betty or Semtex /Flash
Scavenger
Assassin
Stalker (Should be Dead Silence)
And the mother of all classes:
The Blain Train
Type 95 w/ Red Dot, Rapid Fire, 2 Attachments
FMG9 w/ Red Dot
Bouncing Betty, Flash
Sleight of Hand
Quickdraw
Steady Aim

I just got paired up with a random in Survival on Dome and it was glorious. We made it to level 30 before the Juggernauts, air support and C4 dogs cornered us. . Soooooo much fuckibg fun. I love it more than zombies or horde mode.
. Soooooo much fuckibg fun. I love it more than zombies or horde mode.I might be a bit forgiving of the game because I'm enjoying it. And I have experienced a couple matches with lag (as I have said a bunch of times, the game's not even out yet on my region), but overall it plays just fine.aku:jiki said:
As for the 'getting through the corner and instantly dying' thing, why don't you go to Theater mode and check it out from the other guy's point of view? If he was already looking at that corner, when you enter it your weapon shows up first and they might have started shooting by then. Hell, I've done that a couple times, and with well aimed bullets, the enemy doesn't last a second.
While the game might not be running perfectly fine (I will blame a tiny bit of it to the fact that it's still the first week, and most online games suffer during the first week), I think claiming it's trash, shit, or whatever.. is going a bit too far.

I also love how in 5 iterations now, these fuck-tards can't create a spawn system that DOESN'T spawn enemies 10 feet away from each other.
Laughable.

In a game where the weapons are killing faster than ever at 1 to 2 tenths of a seconds, those sometimes minor network delays can make a world of difference.; because in those small network delays lies enough time to kill you before you know it. It's not an issue of ego not letting you admit to being a bad player( for most ). Most of us here have played plenty enough fps's and are perceptive enough to recognize whether it's our skills failing us or it's something off with the game, even if we don't entirely understand what it is.
It just comes down to this, Call of Duty is a game of who has the better connection. Not saying it's the only factor, just the most important because of the nature of peer hosting and how fast these guns kill. It's about time the public demanded dedicated servers if everyone is gonna mention how unfair p2p is......... but that's never gonna happen, we keep buying the games regardless, and I'm part of the problem

I just put some codes in for the DewXP thing, and I don't see anywhere I can enter my PC credentials. It's asking for my 360 or PSN id.
I take it this is a console only promotion?

I put the game into my console for the first time last night. Played some Spec Ops and a few rounds of Kill Confirmed.
The LOWEST freaking level player I saw was 43. Christ.
But the new Spec Ops is the bomb. Really liking it. And I am sure that they will add zombies at some point via DLC. Which will be good too.
