Some cheaters use a lag switching device, I think this guy in the video is using one.
Not sure I would call dragshot an exploit as you still need some skills to pull it off

it is utterly baffling to me that people do this. i guess i'm just really really naive, or too old or something. what fun is there in cheating like this?
I'm pretty proud of it. Add me, let's play. I like survival and interrogation, also long walks on the beach.

Terrible. Hopefully, ND bans these cheating fucks.
Yeah, that dragshot looks difficult.
Jesus. Lag-switching is a fucking ordeal lol. Why people would go that far is beyond me.
Dragshot seems fine imo. I'm not skilled enough to pull it off except on accident, but it's something that exists in the game.

So I've realized that interrogation with randoms is a crapshoot. Supply Raid and Survivors isn't too bad because theres less tactics. Most randoms don't know how to play Interrogation though.
Yup. When molotovs are being thrown around in the first 5 minutes, I instantly know that they have no idea what they're doing lol

Dedicated servers would have fixed it...we are paying for multiplayer.

What's up with the team balancing in no party lobbies? 9/10 times I'm placed on a low level team while the other team is decked with 20s. Really fucking annoying.

Players are rated based on their combined leaderboard KDR values from Supply Raid and Survivors.Teams are balanced such that the sums of each team's player ratings are as close as possible. This also applies to parties, however when parties are involved the assignments of players are more limited so the team balance may not be as close.
meh. I've done this in interrogation. Keep in mind a lot of people arent actually trying to win in interrogation... They are just playing it for the longer match times to get the supplies they need.

Hm, hope it wasn't me... Last night on Checkpoint I sprinted a good 30 meters to "steal" someone's interrogation, but only because he was crawling off behind some shelves and I didn't see anyone nearby to get him. Don't recall if I did it after a revive, but after my next spawn one of my teammates spent about 30 seconds just following me and taking swings at me.
There was a guy on my team the other day that spent the whole round blinking back and forth about a foot or two (like 10-20 blinks/sec) Curious what was up with that; only time I've seen it.

lol will do. Your psn name sounds familiar since I think I've actually played on the same team as you in interrogation mode before.
But then they're not playing interrogation, which effectively makes them no more useful than those who really don't know how to play lol
I guess they're free to do it, but Survivor is generally the best mode for supplies from my experience.

I swear I just had the weirdest and glitchiest round ever. People were throwing molotovs at me and the wouldn't explode for like 30 seconds, I was shiving people who were down, etc
Edit: and I just got put in a game where everyone was frozen in time but me.

I've had a glitch several times where molotovs would land but I wouldn't be able to see the flames; just the embers as if the fire already went out, though it would still burn me if i ran over them :T
Another one related to molotovs are the victims floating a foot or two off the ground while burning. Those are hilarious because it looks like some sort of divine punishment.

Ever since the new maps were added I have had nothing but shit games. I can't remember the last time I played a match that I didn't feel screwed in some way. Tonight alone I meleed someone with an upgraded 2x4 and they went down, then immediately were back up and shot me in the face. Nailed a guy directly with a Molotov who continued on towards me and killed me with an enforcer. Was behind someone and went to shiv them (the prompt was there too) and during the animation he turns around and kills me. Along with getting shot around corners and countless other seemingly lag related bs, I've pretty well had it with this game. I'm 6 weeks from platinum and I think that will be the end of the road for me. I was really enjoying it for quite a while but it's been such shit lately that I'm fairly well put off of it.

I've been running a silenced scoped semi auto/silenced shorty combo that's been pretty fun.

So, I've played around 10 hours and have got all of the MP DLC trophies other than one.. I have not played Hometown once!
Does anyone know what mode it tends to appear in most frequently? I haven't even seen it in a vote - I mainly play Survivors though.

I think it's just random. You can set up a private match if you want to see it

I guess I'll have to wait it out then - I seem to have played everything else other than Beach (which was only added long after I started) mulltiple times!I would do a private match, but I actually want to play on it;(
Had a bunch of amazing matches last night with 2 guys on mic who were courteous, helpful and very good players. It made such a change from the usual boorish randoms I get lumped with.
We wiped the floor with 3 teams by using distraction tactics 2 & 2. Whereby 2 guys distract the team with covering fire and running about while the other 2 flank and get behind. then we'd reign fire on their asses.
I was surprised how many times that tactic worked for us. It even prompted one team to call us a bunch of faggots for always sneaking behind them. One guy was quite enraged, screaming "You guys think you're good?! All you can do is sneak behind people. F*ckin' faggots".
Sufficed to say we laughed our asses off at him. I really do love this MP.

I've had the opposite experience. Since the maps and the latest patch, matchmaking times are much better and the online code has been much better. I've noticed less instances of teammates quitting and the game failing to replace them.

Came in here to ask the same thing. I backed out to the main menu for just a moment and can't get back into MP.
It wasn't. If I remember correctly it was a Survivor match at University. Anyway, I don't mind people "ks" when the situation demands, but in my case, there was no threat and still the other guy stole my kill.

Yeah, it's quite rare seeing Hometown on Remastered. I played twice on it (with 11 weeks in-game), via supply raid.
I see Hometown a lot.
That's strange, I wish it would appear more often for me. I like that map a lot.

I haven't played a MP game since Gears 1 that makes me rage like this one. I usually play with a friend and we constantly get paired up with HERPA DURPA randoms who go running straight into enemy fire. Meanwhile the teams we're playing against are highly coordinated and using fucking mlg pro strategy. It really makes me not want to play unless I have a full party on.

I barely use bow. Whats corner shooting?

1.03?
The one that included the technical hooks for the two maps and the scoped weapons.
Is 1.03 the latest patch? Haven't touched my PS4 in a while.
Ah. The corner shooting never bothered me, or anything about the bow for that matter. People constantly complained and it wasn't even OP.
Same thing happened to the shiv dance. It was never OP, but people complained about it because it was annoying them.
Thus, it was nerfed

This is probably my only major complaint about the game. Granted, I'm biased because it's punishing me, but I think it's a really terrible way to try to balance the teams. If you take me for example...I have a high-ish KDR, but I'm rarely the points leader on my team. I'm actually probably last as often as I'm first, even though I'll usually have the best KDR. I play fairly defensively and try to minimize deaths above all else. A really good game for me might be 8-10 executions. More often, I'm in the 5-6 range. To get to my point, someone going 12-8 is more valuable to their team than someone going 4-2. If they really want to balance teams by execution efficiency, they should calculate average net kills (i.e. avg. # of executions - avg. # of deaths). Even win % would be a better way to do it.
All that said, I wish they would just randomize the teams in the no-parties lobbies and be done with it. I get that more balanced matches are more fun for everyone, but punishing players for getting better at the game by constantly putting them on the weaker team hardly seems fair. If you leave it to chance, some games will be well balanced and some won't be, but at least nobody is getting screwed a majority of the time.

Sorry, I can't read. You said PS3.
Yeah. I figured I'd ask here because the other thread is dead and buried, and a few PS3 players post here too.

They're in normal rotation. I play in "no-parties", and they show up there. I imagine you'd have better luck doing that since there are no other dlc maps in that lobby.
