Yes, but they never said when it would start. I would bet January. It'll roll through to September, which is when the hype for Treyarch's next Call of Duty will begin.

Those numbers are for the bullet spread caused by recoil. The visual recoil doesn't always match that, and I don't feel like it does for the CoD4 AK. The video shows that pretty clearly - the gun jumps around more than the bullets actually do, while the MP5 barely jumps around at all.TestOfTide said:
Oh, and people really should have complained about the MP5, or any SMG, with RF in BO. It was a joke how fast they would kill with so little recoil.

Holy crap, the Striker is beast.
At first I had trouble using it, which drove me frickin crazy, but after getting used to it it's just too good.
Same with the MP7, totally beats the PP901 IMO.
PS. Hey sorry I didn't accept your invite earlier Xtortionist, my connection was acting up so I kept resetting my router.

The videos shows that while the 74u had a lot of visual recoil that blocks your view. But it's alot easier to deal with because it's not random like the MP5's recoil that will randomly jump to the right (hence the viewkick having a value of 80 for the right side). That's why in the video I showed the guy wasn't getting alot of long range kills like that other guy was getting with the 74u.
But they didn't. Partly because the ARs were so ridiculously easy to use in BO compared to all the other guns, and partly because for long range the AK74 was much more accurate than all the other SMGs (besides the MAC11) so there was no incentive to use the MP5k once you unlocked the 74u.

patch incoming! I was just prompted to download what I'm assuming is the patch that features all the new balance changes.
It's going to be TU6 and then balance changes after based of Bowling's post

ahhhh, okay. My mistake then.
Has Beachhead gone completely quiet about Elite or what's going on there? I mean, they're fucking up far beyond just the connectivity issues we had during the first week or two. Where's the promised smartphone app? Where's competitions for europeans? Where's the ability to earn clan XP? What did their lack of server preparation have to do with the fact that the app obviously isn't finished or the fact that some dumbass forgot that europeans can't partake in 9PM EST competitions? Dirty business, Activision.

Boo! It's a little frustrating that he pointed out that they don't have to wait for updates (and certification etc) for weapon balancing, they can just hotfix that in a quick playlist update. So do it! I want an FMG9-free weekend please.
Oh, shit. Don't tell me they're patching out the extra pellets with extended mags? Doublefourzerotwo said:

402 gets so abused on Twitter, lol. Some of the shit he's been responding to has been downright hilarious.
Fucker deserves it though. He's a douche.

I had a really bizarre game earlier where there was some sort of audio bug that occured. It turned out to be a decent enough game so I uploaded the whole match but here is where the bug starts for those who don't want to see the whole video. around 9m24s in is where the audio really starts bugging out. So many damn guitar riffs, I thought my XBOX was about to implode.

That's a Juggernaut. It shows the Juggernaut hitmarker when you shoot them and why he took so many bullets.

"Additional improvements to address lag. Fix for Melee Jump. Clan Tag Validation (remove buttons from clan tags). Improve Host Migration logic. Prevent stat Loss."
Haven't seen any clan tags with buttons so far today.

Does he not get that without the extended mags glitch the shotguns are going to be too inconsistent for anything that isn't a semi-auto?
For reference he is responding to a kid asking him to not nerf the shotguns.
.....Well I guess I won't be impressing GAF anymore with my long range USAS kills.

so... I'm assuming this is the patch that nerfs the type95 and fmg9? I just started using the fmg9s recently, too. I wish I knew how beast it was. Oh well...
Edit: I just read the link. Yay! I get to spend the weekend trying to get the callsigns for the fmg.

To Activision support:
Me:
There must be something wrong with the game, because I can't find the volume slider for the music.
Activision Replies:
We are sorry about this issue.
Make sure that the cables that connect the console to the television are securely plugged in and in the correct port.
Me:
Thanks for the answer.
I've checked all my cables now and made sure they are connected, but I still can't see the volume slider for the music.
So, I'm now waiting for Activisions next move..

Just got new internet. Hoping it remedies some the lag that I've been experiencing.

The more of an advantage you have because of your connection the more artificial lag you're going to get.

It's not really going to make a difference. I've had similar speeds since day one.

That's hearsay. There has been nothing but anecdotal evidence in regard to how the "lag compensation" actually works.

I'm upgrading from a 2 down connection so the leap is pretty dramatic, but if you're still getting BSed with that speed then damn.

I've got a good connection and essentially every time I'm chosen as host I can tell right away because the same room and same guys I was just doing great against now wind up destroying me.
I think the sweet spot in this game is to have a good connection to the host, without being the host yourself.

Google "cod Anti lag". I'm sure there's still the same sites and videos around. People were pissed when it was auto enforced on pc when cod4 first launched. It's a shitty solution, dedicated servers is a lot better
. But what's cheaper?computers putin'

I've been playing late at night the last few days and I've been doing consistently well ( like, really well ) on basically a 3 bar connection( connecting to out of state hosts I presume), perfect hit registration and everything. I was a little skeptical of the whole "you play better on a shitty connection" thing until those string of games happened.
Activision can afford some dedicated servers, they're charging for a monthly based subscription service on top of an assload CoD games sold, so why not?

MP5 is so bad. Let's give it a way lower fire rate than the PP90 but like 3x as much recoil.
Not too big on the UMP45 either. Even lower fire rate than the MP5 and while the recoil is better, it's not as stable as it should be.
PP90, P90 and the MP7 are all great though. PM-9 has high kick but I recall the fire rate being pretty decent. Probably a beast with Steady Aim, though that's par for the course for SMGs.
You got a problem with my coolness bro?
