COD: Black Ops 3 (2 Viewers)

Liking it so far but wish they would fix the scoring. You should never, EVER rank up when you go 8 - 19. If anything you should be demoted back down and weapon xp is lost. So dumb. :wall:
You realize that's insane, right?I assume you're joking, so I won't explain why everybody wins when they encourage guys to go 8-19 and want to come back for more.

First impressions...game is fun. I really struggled for most of the night but overall had fun. The opponents are what ssuck, not the game
Sheesh. I play for 2 hours. Going about 11-11. Card pops in the game, joins me and Ry and his 2nd game is like 40-3. But he really struggled... Good thing I'm on your friends list. I don't want to play against you once you get going...
Ender, you have to understand... if these guys like clawyer, card, etc. don't get 50 kills, call in two chopper gunners, dogs, and a nuclear bomb, it's a bad game. More than 3-4 deaths = bad game. Etc.I'm happy when I go positive.
This isn't true at all. I don't expect 50 kill games but feel I've foolishly put in enough hours to have good scores. I DID struggle most of the night, you can ask Ryodan and Smoke, most games I was negative k/d, but I had fun, I'm still learning the maps and abilities and trying different guns and loadouts. My K/D sits at 1.2 right now, I'm sure it will go up
 
Played for about 4 hours last night. Only 2 in multi-player because the servers were down. I really like the maps. They allow enough cover without having any really great camping spots.

Looking to play multi-player with other FBG's

No, I don't think it's insane. Maybe I'm the minority here but I don't think going balls out every map and going 8-19 is fun. I also don't think you should be rewarded for sucking. Learn how to play the game, have a K/D at 1 or above and you will be promoted. It really isn't that hard.

That would almost make sense if you think leveling up is the real reward for playing the game.The reward for going 8-19 is the anger and disgust of realizing that you are a terrible human that can't even succeed at some loser video game.The reward for doing well is having dudes on the internet spread the legend of your greatness. Either way, everybody benefits from having people going 8-19, and it would be incredibly dumb to not keep those guys around.

In the end, how favorably does this compare to Blops1? Sounds like it could be the most infuriating COD yet.
Doesn't compare at all. It plays more like MW3.
I was watching Orb the other day and the SMGs are laserbeams. If the COD sniperchildren can still quickscope inspite of that then Treyarch really has lost its way.
I'm friends with a couple of guys that love to snipe and they're ready to return the game saying that they can only get a kill or two before being dropped by an SMG from across the map.The recoil on all the guns is extremely low which makes SMGs and Assault rifles very effective at distance.
 
Took some lumps today, but feel like I am making progress. I may not be up to FBG standards yet, but I feel I am trending that way. My kill ratio has gone from .33 up to I think its .84 now. I usually end matches at 1 or one kill above or below. It also helps I am starting to learn the maps and the gameflow.

I think I am lv 24 right now so I have played a ton of death matches. My kid watched me play a few minutes before I left for work and his statement to me today " Wow, Dad you dont suck as much"

I am on night shift until after Thanksgiving but would love to play with a team of FBG with a plan of attack. I think my favorite map so far is Hijack on the yacht.

Please add me on xbox gamertag: HercRaato

my sons GT is Dragonborne1113

 
I took the day off today and put quite a bit of time into this game. :bag:

For the record I am not good. I am loving the maps and weapons. I had trouble playing on line but I guess everyone did today? I primarily played combat training with bots.

I really liked kill confirm game. Not sure why i never played that before. I dont think it is new to BOPs 2?

I will be back on tonight.

PS3

 
PS3 version still essentially unplayable for many people. Even worse than the first BLOPS release, from what I can remember. Quite a feat.

I did find that installing textures on the HDD helped prevent the hard freezes that were occurring constantly. Or maybe it was that I completely gave up trying to play in a party for now.

I agree, and more headglitching spots than I care to name. Carrier is the worst map, period.
Absolutely terrible. Maybe the worst COD map of all time. Easily down there with Bloc, and probably Seelow.I'm starting to resign to the fact that I may not ever be good at this game. Had a pretty terrible run to end last night.

 
So the consensus I'm gathering is torn. Is it fun and worth the $65 or not?
I'm able to get into about 1 game for every hour I'm online and I still don't regret dropping $100+ on this thing.It's a good game. With an XBOX, I can't see any reason not to just buy it and have fun. if you like COD games, of course. If you don't, then obviously don't buy it. It's good, but still a COD game, for better or worse.
 
The spawns in this are absolutely awful.
spawns are awfulhead glitchingsub-machine are too powerfulsniper camping is the new camping(windows)little/no gun swayI've only got a couple hours in so far...........I'm sure this list will grow.
I haven't had ANY issues with the spawns. Even before a fix they're much better then MW3.Head glitching, sub machine guns too powerful and gun sway= meh to me. Neither has been a big deal. The sniper camping thing made me "lol"
 
Couple of dumb questions:

Where do you add camoflauge etc to your weapon? Can't find it--Disregard

Has anyone prestiged their weapon? What does it do?

TIA

Motorstorm: Pacific Rift was like this. That, combined with the matchmaking that paired you up to similarly-ranked players, made it hard as hell to reach the top rank but really satisfying when you did. All things considered, though, I play games to relax, not to get my blood pressure up, so I strongly prefer the approach that COD and practically every other game takes.

Halo 2 and 3 did this, but it was mostly based off winning and not stats. But that's one thing that made it the best FPS that I've ever played.

I didn't either, until I played some MTDM Overall I agree with you, as I said I've only got a couple hours in. Map recognition will help make my other complaints go away.

 
Now I'm having trouble with the custom classes. I'll play a game with my chosen loadout, get into the next game and the loadout is defaulted to the original. Something screwy is going on today. Frustrating.

ETA: Now its happening every single time. Ugh.

I didn't have too many issues with the spawns last night. Maybe a couple bad ones, but not too bad. I mean, you/they have to spawn SOMEWHERE.

Carrier is pretty bad. There is one corner that you can get trapped in on TDM pretty easily, and it's hard to get out. Overall though I really like the maps.

Not sure if I like the halftime switch on Domination or not. Sometimes it takes you a while to get into your groove/settle in to defending your points... then all of a sudden the round ends and you have to start all over. I guess it's fair, but it seems disruptive sometimes.

I'm pretty rusty on the sticks... I think my k/d was only like 0.9 last night, though I did play a ton of domination, where I generally do worst b/c I run straight to flags.

Maybe I can get in with you guys tonight without playing groundwar. :P

 
Liking the game so far.

- Love the pick 10 system. The ability to add 3 attachments to your primary and multiple perks in the same spot are very nice. I can see me dropping my secondary and perhaps nades or tacticals for more perks as I unlock them more.

- Love the fact that ghost isn't unlocked until level 55

- Love the objective-based scoring. I'm running the low scorestreaks since I've never been a huge K/D player. UAVs are awesome right now since most everyone hasn't unlocked ghost yet and I get +10 scoring bonuses for every kill my team gets when we have one up in the air. From there it's relatively easy to get to care package (engineer perk lets me re-roll them) and hunter killer.

Like the maps for the most part. I have noticed that the B flags in DOM seem almost impossible to capture on some maps without a concerted team effort, which brings me to my final point. It probably goes without saying, but my satisfaction level increases dramatically playing with a party. It's way more fun with a full 6-man FBG party going. Plus we tend to do pretty well together anyway.

Played a little more today, MTAR with silencer, MMS, and laser sight, also FAL with silencer, select fire, and MMS.

Hate a lot of the perk changes, but I understand the necessity to nerf ghost since the removal of stopping power and juggernaut made it the far and away best perk. I think flak jacket is probably the best perk at this point, I try to throw it on with a wildcard whenever I can.

I maintain that the time to kill is the fastest of all the CODs, makes a little sense since were in the future, but I believe the pace of the game is much faster now, the nerf to ghost and the subsequent buff to UAVs makes most people unsafe at most times, I was rarely in a game where we didn't have a UAV up at all times.

You definitely have to slow it down a touch and use cover if you want to run up big scorestreaks. If you think you're going to run and gun and rack up huge scores just using your superior stick skills you'll be perpetually enraged. There are a TON of little items littering the maps for cover and lots of small doorways and corners. It makes it tough to run and gun, but also means campers won't last long in one spot either as there are multiple approaches to every spot in the game.

I haven't been paying attention to map names, but the one on the yacht really sucks IMO. It's like an ocean bound Nuketown with horrible spawns. I actually spawned in RIGHT next to an enemy spawning in a few times. That's ridiculous and most likely caused by the map simply being too small.

Connections have been hit and miss for me so far. Mostly ok. But when they're rough, it's bad. And the bars seem to have no correlation to how good/bad the connection actually is.

Hit detection is a bigger issue in my eyes. I've seen some brutal final killcams where the crosshairs and bullets weren't even close to the guy getting killed. That needs to tighten up

 
I think I'm just going to not use Perks 2/3. Seems like double attachments and Perk 1's are pretty handy. I kind of think I'd rather have my flash bangs than any of the 2nd/3rd perks. I do miss Recon though.Don't really care about a secondary though, until I unlock the trusty RPG.
I feel the opposite way. I'm running 5 perks and just a frag grenade and fast mag with an MP7.
What perks?I've been using toughness/EC and like them well enough. Could do without though. I probably won't be able to resist ENG when I unlock it, I guess. The booby trapping crates is too fun to pass up.
Right now running Lightweight, Blind Eye, Fast hands, toughness, and Dexterity. But I'm still experimenting...thinking of changing Blind Eye to hardline as thus far very few people are putting up aerial AI score streaks. I'm eager to open up Flak jacket - that's the one I want the most.
Okay, I'm sold on 5 perks. No secondary. No lethal or tac grenades. Just a trusty MP7 blazing around the map with LW/HL/Toughness/EC/Dex.
