Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Vengeance DLC Coming July 2

talk about the ultimate piss you off moment, playing capture the flag on hijacked map I come up on a player laying prone with a sniper set up. I did everything but ram my assult rifle in his ass. I unloaded a full clip at wich time he gets up turns around and 1 shot kills me. I bet i get reported for my language when that happened
 
[quote name='The 7th Number']Anyone else call in a UAV and then the game doesnt even give it to you? Happened to me twice now. Also sometimes you can hear the enemy player talk right after you kill them. LOL.[/QUOTE]

I only receive the notifications that I earned something about 40% of the time. I had a Lightning Strike for the majority of a game without even knowing it. Then when I killed 3 guys in a group, I was like "Where the fuck is my UAV?!" That's when I noticed I had the strike ready to go.

This game is a shit show.
 
Here is the UAV glitch, 4th time this happened to me.

Also here is a list of maps i like/dont like/undecided
I think Standoff is my favorite map in the game. Plaza and Express are the ones i hate most.

Like
- Cargo
- Carrier
- Overflow
- Standoff

Undecided
- Aftermath
- Hijacked
- Meltdown
- Slums

Dont Like
- Drone
- Express
- Plaza
- Raid
- Turbine
- Yemen
 
I've put in days of game time and just saw Carrier for the first time -- weird.

Unlike MW3 there are no maps I absolutely hate. I think these maps are much, much better balanced -- at least to how I play. ;)

Agreed. There are maps that I would perfer not to play since I don't know them too well but once you learn a map it's all good. One of the maps I disliked but now like is Raid? I was horid at that map, but once I learned the layout, it's actually an awesome map. Same with Hijacked.

There are fourteen maps? 'The fuck? All I seem to play is Cargo, Carrier, and Slums.

Could be commentary on the map design. A lot of them blend together. Nothing really distinct like some of the maps in Black Ops 1.

Not one to bitch about insignificant shit like video games, but I'm starting to agree with those who say the hit detection and spawn system in multi could be better. I can deal with the shoddy hit detection, but spawning several feet in front of the opposition, multiple times per match, is an annoyance.
 
[quote name='pimpinc333']I called in an Escort Drone and it somehow got stuck under the map. The blades of the helicopter kept killing me everytime I spawned. Pretty weird but funny.[/QUOTE]

Has it happened since the patch? That was one of the fixes that was done with the update along with the Dragonfire not being able to be deployed. There was some setting where these would both happen if there had been a host migration at some point in the match.

What game modes are you primarily playing? I have noticed that a lot of maps don't come up in certain game modes. For instance, it is very rare to see Cargo, Carrier, Slums, and a few others in Ground War. However, all three of those come up quite a bit in Domination and Headquarters. Tonight a group of us were in Ground War and Meltdown, Overflow, Plaza, Turbine, and Raid were the only ones that came up in a two hour span or so.

Also to the person who thought it was a glitch/weird that you could hear the person you killed for a few seconds after you killed them... This isn't a glitch or anything. This was something that was added to COD in MW3 (possibly Black Ops, but I don't think so).

As for the maps, there are really only three that I am not a fan of, and it really depends on the game mode. Plaza can go away forever. Tubine wouldn't be so bad, but it seems like every match I play on there seems to turn into people quitting or sitting back and not doing shit which makes for some slowwwwwww games. Aftermath is good for anything but Domination... If your team doesn't get B first you are as good as fucked as it is really easy to defend it since there are so many ways you have to watch just to be able to cap it.

Personally Meltdown, Standoff, Yemen, and Overflow are my favorites.
 
[quote name='DomLando']Any suggestions on guns and perks to use in multiplayer?[/QUOTE]

Three of my favorite set ups are:

PDW-57 w/ Silencer and MMS
Wildcard Perk 1 Greed
Hardline & Ghost
Scavenger
Extreme Conditioning
Smoke and Combat Axe

SWAT-55 w/ Target Finder and Select Fire
Wildcard Danger Close
Harldine
Scavenger
Engineer
Smoke and C4

SVU-AS w/ Variable Zoom
Wildcard Overkill
870 MCS w/ Red Dot
Hardline
Scavenger
Engineer
Shock Charge and Bouncing Betty

I've always despised Ghost (and it's counterparts) and would say that I have maybe used it only for a total of 30 matches in previous COD games. However, now being able to take two perks from the same class, I feel like it is a pretty good thing to have with as many UAVs that there are called.
 
While I agree the hit-detection and spawns are not perfect in Black Ops 2, I have to say personally I believe they were head over heals worse in MW3. I have a video below that shows how horrible the spawns were in MW3 (i.e. I would consistently have enemies spawn within feet behind me) also most head-to-head deaths would show me not shoot a single shot despite unloading a full clip into the enemy in MW3. In general, I never watched so many kill-cams as in MW3 since I always had to see just how that BS went down. So far, this game does not piss me off nearly as much as MW3 did.

[quote name='The 7th Number']Im at level 53, cant wait to get ghost, hopefully that will make my run n gun class better since it only works when you are moving. I wonder if you stay hidden using ghost if you just keep rotating your LS in circles... so you keep moving but you pretty much just circle around in the same spot.[/QUOTE]

I've been experimenting with Ghost over the past several days. FYI, your yellow arrow on the mini-map fades when Ghost is active.

These are the situations that I found "disable" ghost:
-stopping for about a second
-moving only slightly (i.e. just nudging your controls)
-mantling certain objects
-aiming down sights (even if you never stop moving)

I tested the ADS ghost-deactivation with 2 sniper rifles, 2 hand-guns, shotgun, 1 SMG, 1 AR, SMAW, and crossbow. All of them deactivated ghost immediately upon ADS despite never stopping movement. Somebody I play with made the suggestion of using the adjustable stock attachment but never gave it a try myself.

Also, it takes a few seconds of movement to re-activate ghost. Basically, it is useless for Sniper classes unless maybe for quick-scope douches.
 
I've had equally as bad spawns in BO2. They're both terrible, honestly. The only thing BO2 has going for it is that the maps are slightly bigger so it doesn't happen quite as often.

The BO2 lag though, IMO, is much worse. Anything but a 4-bar is literally unplayable. I will be lying prone in wait around a corner for a guy I see on the UAV that I know is coming and I still lose the gunfight. I can see the guy first, start shooting first, and it just doesn't matter. I'm done playing this game until it's patched. Judging by how many patches it took MW3 to be somewhat playable, I think I'll be sitting out for the foreseeable future.

Yeah im starting to think ghost isnt as great as it used to be. Especially since i play hardcore, the mini map doesnt show up unless someone calls in a UAV, and that can be taken down within seconds with a blackjack? i think its called. UAVs are almost never up for that long in this game. The only thing ghost is good for is if the team DOES have a UAV up and im running around with SMG/Ghost/Lightweight/marathon. Then they can see where people are and run around more, giving me the advantage of them not knowing where i am, but them thinking no one is around. So yeah i think im gunna stop using ghost once i unlock the blackjack thing again. Sad too because i used to love hiding around in blops 1 with a balistic knife and tomahawk. Now i cant even do that because you will show up on UAV even with ghost perk.

Also i miss my flame thrower, does any gun in this game have a flame thrower attachment?

I know what you mean, same shit happens to me all the time. Last night a couple times i got shot before i even seen the guy come around the corner. Or i go around the corner and get killed through objects you cant shoot through. Its just really annoying when you shoot right on someone first and you die, or you see someone and cant even get a shot off before you die. Its like playing against expert bots, where a guy comes around a corner and shoots you dead like he knows exactly where you are, and you have no time to react when you see him, because lag gives them a 1 second advantage.
 
For all the complaining about lag I'm shocked I'm not getting it as I have a pretty average internet connection. My biggest complaint isn't with the game it is with the players who don't play to the particular game modes at all. If your playing domination capture the fucking points, if you playing demolition blow the shit up, capture the flag...capture the fucking flag, etc. Another huge jump over MW3 for example is in domination it would show k/d ratio at the game stats at least BLOPS 2 shows captures.

GREEN - The way that it should be...

RED - The reason why it isn't the way it always was, because it became a bitch tactic by campers who were too afraid to move and not legitimately earn a killstreak or kids who wanted to be on Youtube.

You're the reason why we are all complaining. ;) All the COD games have had lag comp... The difference is that in the early games if YOU lagged, YOUR bullets didn't register hits. Now, if THEY lag, YOUR bullets still don't register. MW3 really boosted the lag comp, and unfortunately Treyarch carried it over to this. The turning point in MW3 was in the August patch. That is when it got really bad.

I've personally experienced the lag comp from both sides on this already. I have played on both the connection at my house (usually pushing 30-40 mb/s dl and 7 mb/s up) and at my brother's house (15-20 dl and 3-4 up and his kids are streaming Netflix). Amazingly I have no problem going positive or any problems on the slower connection, but I'd be willing to bet people I'm playing against are getting screwed over. Then I go to my house where I am struggling to keep a 1.3 k/d ratio after having had a 2.0+ in BO and MW3, and above a 1.5 in COD4, W@W, and MW2.
 
Yup, just played a game where i turned, shot a guy first, then he shot me dead. This happened a few times that match. Watched it in the replay, and he shot me before i even shot any bullets. LOL. So im pretty much screwed playing this game unless the guy doesnt see me, or is really bad shot. Most of my games i can only get 1-2 kills before i end up getting killed.

I was trying to use the Black Hat this morning to hack a UAV and for whatever reason it wasnt doing it. Ive seen people do this, so do i have to level it up or something?
 
Yes. Blind Eye and Cold Blooded act as they have in the past (they never made you invisible to UAVs, just invisible to certain killstreaks/attachments.

They changed ghost so that it only hides yoiu when you are moving faster than a certain threshold (basically full walking speed); if you move slower than that/are not moving at all, you'll still show up on the UAV. Keep in mind, if you are ADS and moving w/o a stock, thats too slow and youll still show up on UAV

What do you mean? MW3's connections are better than ever. I have absolutely zero problems doing well on a 3-bar in that game now.

Ah... You answered your own question. Lag comp gives the advantage to the 3-bar, and in this game the 2-bar as well most of the time. Then of course there is the shit host where really they have the worst connection and everyone else is lagging.
 
Whats the point of the riot shield? I tried using it today and got a few kills, but the thing is so paper thin if anyone shoots me at close range im dead in 3 bullets. I actually made a video of me using the riot shield, and some dumbass threw a bouncing betty at me and it popped up and he killed himself. LOL. Too bad when i uploaded the video of it, it only turns up 2 seconds long on my youtube account. Video uploading takes long, and so far 4 of 5 videos were screwed up being only 1-2 seconds long when they finished.

Nah, I mean they really toned down the lag comp. A 3-bar feels like a 4-bar to me. I've been on 4-bars and not gotten screwed by lag comp, too. MW3 even has that weird shit where everyone in the lobby is on a 3-bar and it still feels good. All these patches made it much more playable than it was at launch.

Gotcha... I don't know... MW3 for me felt decent at launch compared to this. It definitely got better with each patch, but then I felt like the last patch in August just took a step backwards in lag comp.

This game just feels so inconsistent with the connections. I have had times where it was flawless and then I'll have multiple matches of shit. It was funny because a bunch of us did Ground War on Sunday night and the lobbies for 2 hours or so felt great. They were very consistent and rarely were we getting killed by bullshit.

Just curious Trak... How is your group doing K/D wise in this game so far? I know there were 5 or 6 of us that had 1.9s or above in MW3 and BO, and now it seems like most of us are sitting at just over a 1.3 to a 1.75 (which for me is the worst I have been at since COD4). Don't even get me started on W/L. Another thing that has been the worst since COD4.

At the end of the day I just wish Activision would stop being assholes and just get dedicated servers.

Yeah, everyone I play with is lower in this game. There is supposedly skill based matchmaking thrown in now as well, too. Honestly I think it's just all the bullshit the game has right now. The connections, the super powerful hipfire smgs, and the terrible spawns all mix together for shit K/Ds. I was at about a 1.6 in BO2, (which shouldn't happen when I'm at a 2.5 or above in every single other COD game) and the lag pissed me off so bad I just reset my stats one day. Right now I'm like a level 22 and have no intention of playing for a while.

I thought the skill based was just for league play? Which actually is a pretty good matchmaking system. A few of us have done that, and it is fun because it is competitive, everyone has access to every weapon, attachment, perk, scorestreak, etc. Also in the one that requires a full team Care Package is not allowed so it keeps you from getting screwed by some idiot who can only get a few kills and then proceed to get VTOL Warships, Lodestars, and AGRs from care packages.

I was actually thinking about doing a reset after awhile. I did one in MW3 when I hit 15th Prestige (before they made it 20). I think in that I was at a 1.8x something before doing the reset, then after the reset went to 10th with a 2.2 and then got bored and just started playing more reckless and dropped to a 1.9x by the time I switched to Medal of Honor. The only thing with this is that I don't really want to have to unlock some of the things I have already unlocked (Scavenger, Ghost, and C4 after this prestige).

EDIT: In regards to the previous talks about Ghost... I did some tests last night and here is what I noticed:
- You are invisible when LS is all the way forward and sprint is or isn't being used.
- When ADS, if you are moving you are still invisible (not sure if it is because I was sprinting right beforehand or not), and again I had LS pushed all the way in the direction I was going.
- Once you stop moving it takes about 2 seconds for Ghost to turn off

Here is the setup I was using when I did this:
PDW-57 w/ Silencer and MMS
Ghost/Scavenger/Hardline/Extreme Conditioning

Yeah i remember going 7-2 before the host migrated, after that i couldnt get any kills, being shot before i see people, my shots going right through them, i think i ended the game negative. I love to run and gun in hardcore TDM, but in this game its damn near impossible unless i want to go negative. Only way i can get a good KD is if i camp or use a sniper.

I was wondering if uninstalling the game, or downloading the nuketown 2025 map would change my lag any, i doubt it but thought i would ask here.

I'm convinced that skill based matchmaking plays at least a small factor in regular matchmaking as well. I was running into way more full parties and way less low level people in BO2. I think I ran into maybe one or two guests in like a day of playtime. I've heard it's based off SPM, but I don't know.
 
I just wish that they had the "locale" option for match-matching come back. The "laggy" matches I've experienced pretty much always look to be when playing foreigners that get host. I wonder if they took that out to expand the player-base for non-US players.

Personally, I'm not as much concerned with K/D anymore as I was in the past (still matters to me, just not as much and I'm at about 1.6 K/D or so). What does matter to me is playing on a team with team-work and winning. That goes for both TDM and objective modes. What aggravates me the most is getting shot in the back after someone else was just killed and they don't warn me (it takes a second for a team-mates arrow to disappear on mini-map) OR calling out that I am taking an objective and have nobody join me or even cover me.

I thought I remember MW3 being OK at the beginning and then drastically going down-hill for me with crap connections and BS deaths. From day 1 the spawns were crap and never improved. I didn't like any of the on-disc maps and it wasn't until some of the last maps that I actually enjoyed the game a little more again. My opinion is that MW3 maps are very illogical and very poorly designed.

I agree about the maps. I ended up liking a few, but for the most part they were awful. I downloaded a couple of the DLC maps and thought they were even worse than the disc ones. So much so that even though I paid for year of elite and had access to every map pack, I just skipped them. The thing with the spawns in MW3 is that I don't think they're fixable. The maps are so small and designed so poorly that no matter how much tweaking they did to the spawns, there would always be someone spawning near someone else.

That being said, BO2's maps make me appreciate MW3's maps more.
 
Can somebody post a few good newbie loadouts? I am kind of new to the Blops games I really havent played a lot of COD on-line since World at War was popular.
 
The discussion of K/D got me thinking so I just logged into ELITE to compare my K/D over applicable games.
Black Ops: 2.52
MW3: 1.91
Black Ops 2: 1.54

Granted, I have been playing much more objective game modes in Black Ops 2 vs TDM from Black Ops 1.

Maybe they changed ghost with the last patch for SMGs. I'll have to try again with SMGs but definitely still the case with Assault Rifles and LMGs when I tried this past weekend. Unless it has something to do with the speed at which you are moving while ADS.
 
This is the biggest turd of a game I've played in a long, long time. It's like they took every good decision from Blops and did the exact opposite for this one. Terrible, terrible maps, spawn killing galore, dat lag compensation, the return of quickscoping, steady aim lasers that no longer require the use of a perk on top of the innate abilities of smgs, buffed pistols and stun grenades that no one asked for, and worst of all, they ruined zombies. This shit has put me off COD for good I think -- as if activison cares.

But hey, at least we got shoutcasting, right guys? :roll::roll::roll::roll:

Tried to upload another video, this one showed up at 4 seconds long. I dont know why the video uploader is broken, but 2 of 6 tries have actually came out okay, the rest always show up 1-4 seconds long... and this after waiting like 15 minutes for it to upload. -_-

Hmm, this is the first I hear of the "Diamond" camo. I must look into this as I have 3 Gold Guns at the moment.

I haven't tried any video uploads yet but have tried some video editing with mixed results. First few times the game/my system just seemed to hang. Last time I got frustrated that they seemed to have taken out that alternate control scheme where you had d-pad control of the playback so didn't finish to the point of uploading.

EDIT: Nice, I'll have to start working towards the Diamond camo unlocks. Looks like you have to unlock Gold camo for all weapons in a weapon class.

I am missing 5 camos for combat knife. Seriously for one camo they want you to kill someone with the combat knife, then kill them again with their own weapon! That sounds seriously hard, even if it is only 5 times. Also for another combat knife camo you have to get 5 bloodthirsty medals, which is 5 kills without dying. Good luck with that!

For the crossbow im up to 181/300 kills before it opens up the additional challenges for the rest of the camos.

Can you unlock emblems in combat training? I really want the reaper emblem so i can make a sons of anarchy logo. But you need to get 25 kills without dying. -_-

7th, are you still playing mostly Hardcore? Those blood-thirty medals may just be that much harder on HC TDM given the extra damage guns do. I just two nights ago setup a custom class with tactical knife only and have gotten a couple blood-thirsty medals. (haven't unlocked the camo challenge yet though). I do find knifing much harder in this game because it seems to miss a lot. I think the launcher multi-kills are going to be a PITA though since I find it hard enough to kill a single person with the SMAW on top of the fact that it has 1 shot.

Also, I originally thought the double-kills required for the Sniper rifles were for 2 kills with 1 bullet but it's just 2 quickly subsequent kills (AFAIK). I did find at least with the sniper rifles it's much easier to get multiple kills with a single bullet using FMJ (I got a triple-kill one-shot on Nuketown the other night using FMJ). Unlocking the camos for the first sniper rifle is going really slooow though since unless it's a direct headshot or an injured person it's at least 2 hits/kill. I might have to play some HC TDM for those :whistle2:(

Also, I feel like black hats are backwards. They should immediately blow up betties, claymores, and shock charges to deter camping, while taking control of equipment like sentries, UAVs, AGRs, and guardians. That makes sense to me.
 
[quote name='woodcan']7th, are you still playing mostly Hardcore? Those blood-thirty medals may just be that much harder on HC TDM given the extra damage guns do. I just two nights ago setup a custom class with tactical knife only and have gotten a couple blood-thirsty medals. (haven't unlocked the camo challenge yet though). I do find knifing much harder in this game because it seems to miss a lot. I think the launcher multi-kills are going to be a PITA though since I find it hard enough to kill a single person with the SMAW on top of the fact that it has 1 shot.

For killing people with combat/balistic knife im doing it in core TDM because often i can run through the fire and kill them. Yes its annoying, especially when you get the stabbing animation 1-3 times and they dont die. For the crossbow ive been doing it in hardcore TDM. Ive given up on the combat knife for now and im working on crossbow and balistic knife.
 
Well i managed to get 5 kills in a row without dying with the ballistic knife. Was able to do them both in the first 2 games after i got home from shopping. Funny thing is that i got the ballistic knife master card and gold camo after i only did it once. So I had gold camo but not the skull camo. I had the gold camo for the SVU-AS sniper but not the skulls for that either, but it somehow looks like it fixed itself.

Glad i was able to get the gold for ballistic knife, because im about to prestige, but i can prestige and then use my free token on the crossbow, since i will have the combat knife from the start. I still need 4 kill enemy with combat knife.. then again with the weapon they drop. Also need to get 4 blood thirsty medals with combat knife. Its kind of hard, but once i get 2-3 kills in a row i try to camp with shock charges so i can stun them and then rush and stab them.

Oh and here is my new emblem... Lag Ops II wasnt cutting it anymore.

So I like BLOPS 2 MP but not in love with it the way I was with the 1st game. Still it is way more enjoyable for me than MW3 ever was. I just finished the SP and I have to say I was really disappointed. The story was pretty meh and the villain was just not that intriguing to me. They tried to give him a motivation but in the end it seemed so contrived and stretched beyond reason to really accept. I did find it hilarious when you find out
David Petraeus was the Secretary of Defense. I guess that is one future not going to happen
. I liked BLOPS SP even if it was predictable. In all honesty the last SP COD game I loved was MW2. The last 3 have just been ok. Don't get me started on Strike Force. I was so excited for something new to only be instantly turned off by the execution. Overall the MP is a 9/10, the single player 7/10 and the zombies TBD.
 
Well the only thing that is stopping me from getting diamond camo on my combat knife, ballistic knife, riot shield, and crossbow is two crossbow challenges.

1. Get 1 bloodthirsty medal using only the crossbow.
I might have to wait until i unlock scavenger before i can do this, since the bow only has 6 shots in it.

2. Get a kill with every round in a clip from your crossbow.
I hope this means 3 kills, and not 6. The most i had was 2 so far. If i have to wait to unlocked shockcharges so when the enemy gets shocked i can shoot the bow and blow them up easy.

But the lag in this game is getting annoying with these challenges. Last few games guys are moving really slow or standing dead still and im aiming right in their bodies and somehow my shots are going past them. Or my favorite, i shoot my bow, get killed, and my shot somehow disappears.
 
The knifing is kinda janky in this game. I was behind a sniper and I swear I swiped like 3 times before I made contact lol. The opposing team hates my emp grenades on Hardpoint, destroying all their equipment and especially their sentry guns and guardians haha
 
Can you use your prestige unlock token for perks? I used it on the last assault rifle, but I didn't check if you could use it on perks.

Pretty sure you can use it on anything, first thing i used it on was Ghost perk. 2nd time i used it on crossbow.

Damn man, i got the kill someone with each bullet in a clip for the crossbow. Killed one, then two, then i camped knowing i only needed 1 more kill. All of a sudden 3 guys starting rushing into my building so i fired. I got the 3rd kill and 4th kill, but then ran out of bullets in my crossbow to try to get the bloodthirsty medal. If only i had scavenger perk i could have gotten more arrows. I ended up killing like 9 or 10 in that building before i died, but only 4 were with my crossbow, the rest were with the knife. The bloodthirsty medal is the only one i need for crossbow to unlock diamond, but thats going to be hard without scavenger perk, and i cant unlock that until im level 44 and im only level 22 right now. :(

Yes... I used my first three on Scavenger, Ghost, and then C4.
 
Finally did it. Got 5 kills with the crossbow in only 6 shots. Thank GOD!!!!! That was so annoying to try to do. I got a little help since i shot a guy running an RC Car, and another one camping. But the last 3 shots were good. Helped that i put the zoom scope on the crossbow. So now i can diamond camo for all specials. :) Now i just have to get to level 34 again to unlock the riot shield and show it off. lol.
