  • Registered Users Posts: 672 ✭✭✭Shifty Shellshock

    I just had a wonderful image of you being crushed by falling rocks/ care packages after professing your liking for Tony.

    It's the same as Headquarters point wise.... only difference is the care packages.

    1st game of infected, relly fun
    2nd game, not so much
    3rd game, hated it!

    People always quitting once there infected (being infected more fun IMO) If a new person joins goes on the non infected side. When its striker its good, that ass sniper yoke can be ok depending on map. PP90m1 ridiculous, 18 people behind the bar in arkaden, or on the shack roof in mission etc.. infected side should have smoke

    and im writing in italliics now and dont know how to change that, dafuqe happened

    Demo spawns are 10x worse in the last week? They switch constantly...is literally like 50% of the time you spawn in the other team's spawn, 50% in your own.

    Just do what I do, stay in one place and twirl around constantly attempting to quickscope.
    It works even better while drinking... Just put some newspaper down first.

    I fixed my lag issues. Apple time capsule + xbox = pain.

    Seen a new form of boosting on kill confirmed yesterday. Keep walking out in sniper's view, get killed, run back and collect your tags and get killed again. Repeat for the whole game.

    never seen so much universal negative feedback on an official facebook page, the comments are all complaints and still IW doesnt fix the most basic things people are complaining about

    Throw a tac insert on and you take it to a whole new scummy level. Saw guys doing this about a month ago and just reported them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,044 ✭✭✭gcgirl


    Tac insertions are ................
    I really hate them if I see them I can't hit the button fast enough to denial them
    IW really need to still sort out lag still seriously
    Spawns are not to me that bad

    Activision have a lot to answer for with the ps3 elite founders and I'm sick of the 360 fanboys I paid the same as a 360 user only they get the maps a whole month ahead of me not fair and it's seriously gonna deter gamers from making the same mistake

    It was the same, DLC wise, for BLOPs, it didn't deter you and many more from buying MW3.

    I figured out in Blops to not buy the DLC ;)

    But at least with that you knew you were going to be a month laters but as elite founders and selling the whole hardened package it's was one big marketing ploy get it first (on your own platform obvisously but we will keep that in small print )

    1) You're getting them as part of elite, and AFAIK, they said you'd get them ahead of non-Elite rather than anything else;
    2) You're not missing anything, they're crap;
    3) We pay for XBox Live, one of the perks of this is MS dropping moola on COD exclusives.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭iMuse


    PS3 users have been consistently treated like rubbish for years by activision and IW/Treyarch yet millions of people still buy COD on PS3 so they won't change their ways unless sales start to drop off. You would think that activision would realise that releasing the maps for elite premium ps3 at the same time as xbox would drive loads more sales of elite on ps3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,409 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    Never minded getting the dlc a little later than our console brethern. What annoys me this time round is how little threr is. Two maps is ridiculous. I'd actually prefer them to wait and then just drop a decent amount of dlc in one go. At least four maps and other assorted goodies. Also could care less if non-Elite PS got it at the same time as us PS elite users.

    I paid €50 or whatever for what I thought would be a similar amount of maps as COD/Blops. It's not that I'm dissappointed but the way they marketed and are distributing it piecemeal is pretty shtty.

    I know I have an xbox as well and pay for gold
    It's could have been handled better publicly and not keep people in the dark

    I can understand your frustration, but trust me when I say you aren't missing out at least with regards to the first map pack.

    They were always gonna keep hush re: a month later for PS3 ELite members.
    I figured out in Blops to not buy the DLC ;)

    KAPOW!

    Besides timing issues with formats, the quality of map packs since the 1 and only DLC on CoD4 overall has been poor. Though in saying that I did really like the first map pack in BOPS... Berlin Wall aside. MW2 had Bailout and Trailer Park but besides that out of the new maps for me.. meh.

    Tbh the last time I was miffed at getting the map packs later was the first one for BOPS. No point getting stressed over contracts, otherwise they just wreck your head more and tbh I'am half expecting Activision to renew again with Microsoft.

    Both of these things are true. I played one game of SnD on liberation, got killed by an assasin user lying on the ground and have never played the dlc playlist since.

    I'd much rather have 5 maps in one dlc pack too tbh. The lag is atrocius; Activison made $1 billion in sales in 16 days, surely they could provide dedi servers?

    BTW when I quote how do I get the "originally posted by" bit?

    Not played the game in a couple of weeks. Last time I did, I think they buffed the fmg9's rather than nurfing them.

    Anyone know if they sorted this out yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,137 ✭✭✭Balfie


    the game is gettin way too frustrating.. Played on nothin but 2 an 3 bar all night.. One bar at times, at other times the game jus totally stopped half way thru, not go to the host migration screen, and jus freeze. 2 mins later it would be back with the scores still the same..

    Its a joke.. Nothin more frustrating than lag, especially when it looks like u and your team mates are on that show dancing on ice, skating around the map while the enemy are calling in multiple amounts of air support and all we get is a hit marker.. One of the lads was 0 - 17 and he's not even that bad of a player.. It was shocking all night..

    I used the FM9s on my sniper class and fkn hated them. Don't get me wrong their still all powerful but I hate the look, sound and feel. Just started using the machine pistol below them and really like it. Even single/silenced it's good & just much more fun. Haven't even unlocked akimbo on it yet, though.

    Serious amount of boosting going on in Infected its stupid, people using split screen to boost.

    And watch out in Hardhat when its knife v xxxx people go into the little small square room thing and use their split screen to lie infront of them so the people with a knife cant get at them if you know what i mean, its hard to explain but its bull**** anyway people cant play the game properly

    yea remember to report them after the game tho


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,236 ✭✭✭Dr. Kenneth Noisewater


    I've noticed the Irish players being especially bad for this, was in an almost all-Irish lobby the other night and the amount of boosting going on was pathetic. A couple of times I killed the same fella and the second time I did it I got a tirade of abuse;

    "For fu*ks sake will you fu*k off and leave me alone, I'm trying to boost here ya pri*k" :D

    "Ohhhh, sorry, you should've said man."

    Haunted him for the rest of the game until he left the lobby. Tooler.

    IW are finished now - there is no way they're going to be able to keep the series alive, particularly since Treyarch are using a new engine for BLOPS2. Once a company setting the standard, IW has now become a "keep you entertained for a few months until the cavalry arrive with the goods". And then we need to take into account that Respawn (the real IW that left Activision and the creators of COD4 West and Zampella) will be releasing their "COD KILLER" around the same time as BLOPS2 and things could get very interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,721 ✭✭✭Kells...

    doubtful, the engine is fine for this generation of consoles anyways imo

    Indeed. I prefer the BOPS (1) look anyway over the over saturated malark of MW3. I just hope they just work on the basic structures of the game, graphics aside.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,649 ✭✭✭Not The Real Scarecrow


    Previously, reports suggested that Activision may be prepping Black Ops 2, though that hasn't been confirmed. Sledgehammer has been hiring for a new Call of Duty game, and Infinity Ward is working on a next-gen Call of Duty.
    Source IGN http://ie.games.ign.com/articles/121/1218375p1.html

    Doubt we'll see anew engine for the current gen consoles and reckon even the new one won't differ too much from the current one.

    Thye will only consider updating the engine when COD games stop breaking records and starts to drop in sales.MW3 broke records again even though the engine is years old. If the next game is as successful as this one then there will be no updates in the game after that.The cycle will keep repeating itself as long as people keep buying it.:cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,742 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    Engine's fine tbh, the problems lay elsewhere.


  • Registered Users Posts: 571 ✭✭✭Thomasheen


    Blops was on the cod4 engine wasn't it? And mw2 and mw3 are on an updated version of the same engine if I'm right. Blops 2 will probally run on mw3's engine


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill


    No point making a new engine for this generation like most have said, it'll be fine for a couple more games. They'd really need a new one for next gen consoles tho, thats for sure.. no doubt they'll be working on that pretty soon, if not already. Again... it'll probably be a modified ID Tech 5 engine or maybe they'll use one of the other good engines about, think unreal 4 is sceduled for next gen consoles too.

    Blops engine is pretty solid imo, at least on dedicated servers it feels pretty good. Reg is much better than CoD4 on dedi's and on p2p hosts aswel i think. Tho i know they had huge frame rate issues on release for PC. Proper CPU hog.
