Pollard - will add you tonight. I play a lot, but I'm not going to play until after the Notre Dame game is over tonight.

I'm ok with any game mode to be honest - doesn't matter to me.

One thing I do enjoy doing is playing Domination and equipping myself with the Shield, Extreme Conditioning, Lightweight.

Run to the B flag and just sit there while everyone tries to kill you. After you finally die, change your class and play normally. seems to drive people nuts a bit

 

[Vykng]

Really starting to feel like I'm getting back where I need to be. Had a 56-8 game with 39 confirms in some KC earlier with Card and Z. Of course that's a far cry from a good game in B1 but it feels good nonetheless.

 

[Usual21]

first time ever playing Kill Confirmed. HOLY GEEZUS. Why someone would play anything but this baffles me. Where before a good game for me would be a 15-20 kill count with a K/D of 1.00, I was now getting 33/11, 29/8, 45/11 and with crazy amounts of Killstreaks. I went from a 27 to a 31 in about 1 hour.

Feel free to add me on XBOX: Usual21

 

[Worm]

It still baffles me the amount of people who don't give a #### about picking up tags. Almost every game I have a guy on my team who gets 20+ kills and <5 tags picked up.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

The hit detection for PS3 has been golden the past couple of days! Got the ratio up over 1.6 and the assault rifles now feel usable.

Add me on PS3-- headhunter418

What are you doing that makes your KD go from 1 on other game modes to 3 or 4 in Kill Confirmed? I'm usually steady in my KD no matter the game mode. Just looking for some tips.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Am I the only one that hates how the Domination flags show right in front of you no matter what direction you're looking in?

 

[JHuber77]

PS3 as well if you'd like to add me

Feel free to add me as well (gianmarco_00) as I play with them. I haven't been on much lately since we just had an addition to our family on Monday night but I'm gonna try and hop on for a little bit over the next few days. It'll just be easier if you add me as I'll probably forget when I go downstairs to play. As Pollard said, it's a fun group and usually do pretty well together while having a good time.

I'm with you. It was the same way on BF3. They kill your sightlines and it's actually hard to tell which direction the flags are sometimes.

I have no clue. I'm not playing different. The only thing I can think of is that since if you collect the tags you get a total of 150XP instead of just 100 in TDM. It adds up quicker, which then gives you killstreaks a lot quicker, which then gives me more kills. I was on Carrier, and placed a sentry gun on top of a downed jet and it stayed there for more than half the match. Finished 45/9 on that one. I'm very reliant on UAVs too.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Going to put the kids down and watch a show with the old lady. After that I will jump in with you guys.

Sent request to Usual21.

Game is so close to being great, but it's just awful

The amount of people I shoot through is amazing. Significantly worse than any of the CODs. I just had a final kill cam where the whole lobby was laughing about the # of shots on a guy didn't show hit markers. My crosshairs are literally on the guy the entire way, 6 shots fired, 2 hits. There was simply no missing him 4 of the 6 shots.

And it happens all of the time, seeing it on the final kill cam just magnified how bad it is.

Yeah, sentry guns on Carrier are amazing. I've gotten on twice on that map and both ended up 45+ kill matches (something I've only done 2 other times in my life).

I don't really agree, but maybe it's connection based. Their are bad host/connection games where I am definitely getting the short end of the stick, but the majority are fine to me.

Up until 2 days ago I would agree with both of you. The last couple of days my connection has been GREAT! The hit detection has been awesome and I've been having a blast with this game. Hopefully soon you'll experience the same thing because this game truely is amazing. IMHO

I have had a couple of games like that on Carrier. I generally run Guardian and Sentry Gun, so I protect the gun with the Guardian. I prefer to put it in the upper left corner opposite from the jets, but I have put them on a jet as well and those ended up being huge k/d games. Another map that is fantastic for this set up (sentry gun/guardian) is Slums. I've had games where I put a guardian and sentry gun in almost every corner of the center square and it pretty much locked down the center of the map for the whole game. If I don't get those type of score streaks I struggle to break even in k/d.

If you're a rusher and aren't using black hat, you're doing it wrong.

 

[Willy]

Black hat and engineer are good to have. You see the equipment and can destroy or co-opt it though walls.

My kid destroyed an agr that was called in right next to him before the thing got any kills.

Also, I regularly Re-roll care packages into something better with engineer. Easily my favorite 3rd perk. And it really helps black hat.

 

[tjnc09]

Level 48. Getting there. Still looking for buds on PS3

I invite you and ignore me

 

[tjnc09]

Can someone tell me how to use black hat - I seem to hack my own care packages

 

[pollardsvision]

Just press R2 (or whatever the tactical EQ button is for XBOX is if that's what you have) and point. If it's working, it'll say "hacking".It shouldn't come into play for a care package though. Engineer re-rolls that.Black hat, though, can get unreachable care packages (top of buildings, etc). Just found that out.

I never got your invites my man. Ever. However sometimes I flat out miss them. When I'm playing headquarters and waiting to re spawn I usually check foot all scores or something on my ipad and don't see notifications pop up. I'll be more vigilant going forward.

Handful of other things also make this game bad. Faaaaaar from the best COD game ever.

Duh

I used it for about 20 levels or so, but I think I'm done with it. I like it, but I'd rather just carry a launcher. I think I got about 5-10 kills on hacked betty's, and that's the only real reason to carry it over a launcher. I'd rather just shoot the betty on the way to shooting the guy that dropped it. SMAW takes down UAV's faster and will blow people up.

Found a flaw with League Play. Twice our team was destroying the opponent and the host turned off his box and it booted us to lobby. Both times we got a loss even though we were WAY ahead.

 

[Carver]

just bought this game. Have never played COD in my life. Anyone want to show me ropes and help get me going?

ETA- im on PS3

Welcome to every competitive online match that doesn't have a third party observing.

Yep. Halo 2 and 3 had similar issues.

 

[Spanky267]

I may have said this with previous iterations of CoD but I will say it again. This game is like golf to me. Its appealing enough that I play it. But I usually get frustrated with my results and curse and hate the game. But then you hit a sweet tee or bunker shot and you think yeah, I am getting this. Then some jerk with a pistol and a tactical knife runs through all of your bullets and kills you. At that point you hate golf again.

This is a nice game but I dont think it is as good or as pure as the first Black Ops. Its gonna take me a while to get into this game after basically taking a year off from Call of Duty.

Is there any humanly possible away to get the big score streaks like K-9 unit without care package? I could get dogs on BO1 with ease and there seems to be zero point to have any score streak above 700 in this game

I think it is, but it's going to be extremely difficult. tMartn got 2 Vtols in a round.I got my first stealth helicopter tonight. Was pretty stoked about that.

Yeah it's possible and easeir as the game goes along

I havent played video games since madden '93 on sega. I just got Battlefield 3 and Medal of Honor Warfighter for PS3 and I am so addicted.

Probably getting COD at some point.

Is there a place for newbies to compete v. each other? I signed on and played a quick match and the poor sucker that team up with me...well lets just say, I am glad I couldnt hear him. I am Loosecroo.

I don't know about Battlefield, but BO2 gives you the option to play against bots. That would at least be a good way to learn the maps and familiarize yourself with gameplay without getting wrecked.

 

[Rick James]

Is it just me, or are huge killstreaks like choppers and dogs not very common in this game? I almost never see anything higher than a stealth chopper in battles, unless someone gets something from a care package.

I kinda like it.

Same here. I haven't seen dogs a single time yet, which is a good thing.

Yea, I am kinda doing that v. the program. Want to play real people without bringing down someone else or team.

It's just a fact of life that you're going to be terrible when you first start playing any online game. The good news is that if you're playing public matches, most of the people on your team are mentally handicapped and/or just doing their own thing with no regard for the objectives, so you're not ruining anything for them.

That's b/c this scorestreak is gay. Kill streaks is much better IMO.

I disagree pretty strongly. I think they've done a great job balancing it out.eta - the top streaks SHOULD BE extremely rare
