You and me both. I actually put it in. 0 people online. ![Frown](/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Its still a problem but its a little less of a problem when I'm just flying around with an SMG. Thing is I don't find that to be nearly as much fun. I like to play slow and methodical. In MW2 and Black Ops you could play at whatever pace you wanted. Here they are pretty much forcing you to play one way.

MW2 maps were by favorite with Black Ops trailing in second and WaW being 3rd.

Even though I'm playing the hell out of this game, I may have to finally be done with this series until they make major improvements to the lag problem.

I'm definitely done until the next gen. And I'll take a wait and see approach to that one before I even buy a system.

for me the maps are garbage...the weakest in the series. None of them would be in the top 5 for me on any other call of duty game. Raid/Standoff/Yemen are probably my favorites. That being said the leveling up/10 point system/attachments have been the best in the series, and HIGHLY addictive. Plays into my RPG nerd.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (November 2012)
I have a lot of issues with that video. While it's technically excellent, the idea that the game is "broken" because of the killstreak annoyances or Pick 10 system is completely subjective. I love this iteration of CoD -- but I have never raged quit more than I do now. I also disagree about the Host having an advantage. Normally I can tell within a minute or less if I'm host because I seem to get smoked regularly.
That said, if he's correct about the host actually having an advantage (in all cases) then this needs to be fixed. I'd prefer a system where your ISP is the source of the issue (or your hardware, router, wired, wireless, etc) than the game itself.

If Aftermath comes up, I leave the lobby. I absolutely hate that damn map.

I'm glad the game is so terribly broken. I put in almost 30 days of mw3 and I don't think I've even done a day so far in blops2. More time to do othermrhings. Last night I went .5 Kd then the next map, same teams/map/game type I went 5.0. I was Running around with an lmg and just smoking everyone with at least a second of extra reaction time than I should have had. I do love the customization of classes. Hate the perk system though, mainly for slight of hand being missing as I'm OCD about reloading. Overall I could live with everything else, but the lag issues completely ruin the experience.

My k/d is at .83. I'll never get it above 1.00, because matches that don't even start and you get dropped out of count as 0.00.
Anyway, I'm done with multiplayer until the new maps are out. Hopefully there will be some improvements at that time.

Do you mean W/L? Because I'm pretty sure it counts all your kills and deaths no matter what (unless you dashboard maybe).
As for W/L, mine is probably under .5 now because I refuse to join a game already in progress. Especially lopsided ones where I spawn and I hear "Enemy has orbital VSAT... Enemy VTOL Warship incoming"

I have changed my connection mode to best, but haven't tried it out since doing so.

Well when I check my k/d record, sometimes, it will have 2 or 3 out of the past 5 matches that are giving me a 0.00. I have never done that bad in any of the matches I've played
It has got to be with the merging hosts, bullshit.

I gave up a long time ago joining games that are a lost cause. If the score is one sided I don't even join and I just leave. I hate that it has lowered my win/loss but I gave up on that. I don't find it fun joining a match with a vtol/dogs and down 50 points on kill confirmed. The game should not punish me for playing by myself, which gets you thrown into these games more than when you are playing in a party.

So I'm prestige 10. I haven't max prestiged. I have diamond launchers, SMGs, assault rifles and shotguns. I completed reflex, eotech, and hybrid scope sights. I was trying to work on diamond LMGs and ACOG, and it is boring me to tears. I hate these weapons. Maybe it's because I'm working on my ACOG scope, but I have been quitting after one or two matches because I just don't find this gun fun. I hate how slow the sight comes up even with quickdraw. I might just use my diamond guns until I max prestige and stop trying to do these mini goals.

^^ dude, how much have you played?? That is astounding.
I love this game... problem is, I don't know why. It's always a rush to get a great scorestreak and notch 30 kills but after the match, there's nothing to show for it besides some XP. I really need to quit this game and play more Sleeping Dogs.

Fast hands only switches weapons faster, correct? I use the attachment, but it uses up 2 slots on my classes because i have to run 3 attachments to have what i want. I guess its only annoying because it is different from the norm.

Can't wait to get my hands on that. Been burning up so much time playing Zombies. Finished both sides of the easter egg, can't wait to get the next piece now.

If things play out the way they did last year, this means that the first weekend of February should be a Double XP weekend since it's being released on the 29th.

I haven't even finished out my SMG's yet (2 left). I have a few headshots to go with the MSMC before I unlock the other camo challenges and then I need to start from scratch with the Chicom, which I'm not looking forward to.
