I played with Clawyer and Smoke last night for the first time. The games were at least mildly interesting even with a bad connection.

The S12 isn't too bad once you level it up to at least have the long barrel. Still weaker than you'd like but the fire rate makes up for some of that.I'm not even sure which one the Remington is.

Those games were far more fun than the pubs we played after our ranking. Too bad only 1500 people play leagues.
What ranking did you guys get? Solo or Team?
bshell27
Footballguy
We ended up solo, we only had three playing. I ended up silver rank 133, but in our defense we won 4/5 games and only lost one because the other team dashboarded and ended the game, which from what I've read results in a loss for us. We may have been 3/5 because I remember a hardpoint we lost too. Not sure if that was before or after our ranking though.

Sorry, the Remington is the 870.
Giant Wooden Badger
the Beav
Isn't that the first one? And the same one that's in BF3?
Spanky267
Footballguy
Yes on both counts. In BF3 it is the 870MCS. In BO2 it is the M870, I think.I prefer it to the other 3 shotties.

I dig the 870. Still some sketchy hit markers at times but better than the others.

Is the Nuketown 2025 map not part of the rotation in public matches? I have yet to use this map.
IvanKaramazov
Footballguy
It's in the "Chaos Moshpit" rotation (under Bonus). That's it.
NeverEnough
Footballguy
I thought your scorestreak rewards did not reset between rounds in this one. I saved all 3 & next round they were gone.
GroveDiesel
Footballguy
If you're playing Domination/CTF/etc where there are "halftimes" they don't reset when you switch sides. But they reset between games.
NeverEnough
Footballguy
That's lame. It should be part of KC & TD as well.
IvanKaramazov
Footballguy
I agree completely. The good news though is that it comes up quite a bit on the chaos playlist, and everybody votes for it twice when it's an option. That particular playlist should just be called "Nuketown and sometimes Hijacked" since those maps are so popular.

I dunno. I run around like an effing maniac with the S-12, blasting everything that moves, 4, 5, 6 times. All the while giggling like a maniac. I LOVE it. I love that I can shoot anything that moves, and then shoot again 3 or 4 times, becuase I don't have to pump the damn thing.'Spanky267 said:

That is the big drawback with the 870. If you miss with your shot you might not get a second as the pump animation is so slow. Will have to give the S-12 another shot.

I'd recommend it. There's a going to be a pretty decent sized learning curve for you though.
Haha me and Z were singing that a couple times yesterday. Everytime I play Plaza I make sure I run through the bar room to get my groove on.

When you get a good connection this game is the best COD IMO.

For me, COD4 will always be the best. But this is the first Treyarch iteration I really like and plan on keeping.

It'd be cool if that club played different music on rotation.

Out of curiosity, how many people does it say are typically on the 360 version most nights?
I'm wondering if the somewhat better connections for the 360 versus the PS3 are simply from more people playing thus giving it more host options using the P2P hosting service.
What makes me wonder that is that I'm always surprised at how relatively few people seem to be playing the game with the huge sales numbers they have.
On a related but different note, it also surprises me just how much more popular TDM is than all the other game types. It usually has at least twice, if not three or four times the number of people playing it than any other game type. KC and Dom are usually next, but way behind. I know if I go play CTF or Hardpoint that the connections will suck just because only 5-10k people are playing them at most.

Thats when I first started and I was late to that party and FPS in general so it took me a while to get going. I may have enjoyed that game more had I actually been good lol

I still own COD4 and play the multiplayer occasionally. Brilliant game.
Giant Wooden Badger

500k usually I think.
madshot31
Footballguy
Totally disagree here. For me it has been the best year in a long time. It has been a bad year for multiplayer shooters because yearly editions has made them stale. But The Walking Dead(GOTY imo), XCOM Enemy Unknown, Borderlands 2, The Witcher 2, Dishonored, Minecraft(I never played it on PC), and Mass Effect 3 are all great games that offer a bunch of variety. I think the fact that I'm still enjoying Gears of War 3 and recently acquired Battlefield 3 helps with keeping the multiplayer spectrum fresh. Different strokes.'Ren Ho3k said:

Despite the hackers, noobtubers, quickscopers, and knife monkeys I prefer MW2 and still play it the most.

That's a good thing. That means it's harder for them to hipfire accurately.

Ugh
GroveDiesel

Lots of good changes. Hopefully UAVs will be a tad less prevalent now. The delay put in for the lightning strike was needed as well. I always have that equipped because you can rack up 3-4 kills instantly with it. Now it will be more like mortars in BO where guys need to either be standing still or you have to predict their movement better.
The bouncing betty needed a delay too. Unless you had flak jacket, that thing is an instakill when it goes off.
Also like that they increased the hipfire spread on snipers. I am tired of getting killed by a guy running around with a SR hip firing and getting one shot kills on me from a few hundred feet away. I'm disappointed that they didn't either increase the ADS time for sniper rifles or increase the sway though. But that's obviously a pipe dream at this point. The COD teams have shown they want to please the kiddies with their quickscoping rather than make the gameplay better.
I think we all knew the SMGs were getting nerfed. Altering the hipfire accuracy doesn't affect me much as I tend to ADS most of the time anyway. The added recoil to the PDW could suck though.

Connections more or less are what they are. They'll make some adjustments that will hopefully make things better over time but lag isn't going away in party play on this generation of consoles for P2P connections.Also, I had my best connection ever playing solo for part of one game (host migrated) the other night while I had my work laptop logged into the VPN connection. I had host for like the first time ever. It was glorious.

I changed my connection type (located in Public match / playlist / hit X for search preferences) to 'BEST' and it's made a huge difference.
