Re: This is Lag Compensation

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 07:10:26 GMT

Thanks for the effort. This is a perfect example of what happens to me when host, but with some of the recent updates I still get the same "host feeling" when not host now. If the game is to run around, get shot once and die... They have a real winner. Unfortunately I was expecting to have the oportunity to shoot at and hopefully kill the other player like all the other titles before Black Ops.

It is interesting how this issue is affecting peoples game play time. I used to play this nightly for at least 1-2 hrs, more when the time allowed. I now go days to a week without playing and when I do play, the experience is hit or miss (pun intended).

The messed up lag comp and no love for the hardcore mode (richocet only and elite mosh pit only) has really ruined the game for me. Its a shame. New content is coming out every month and I find myself not really caring.

Search the forum for Lag Compensation. You will find that the majority of people, myself included, who end up as host get screwed by lag. If you have the best connection in the lobby you will get host, so your friend having less bandwidth probably contributes to the situation. In an effort to level the playing field and eliminate host advantage, something went wrong and instead puts an extreme disadvantage to the host.

The game is nearly unplayable for me as host. Forget run and gun.. even camping dosent help. Its like bringing a pillow to a gun fight. Absolutely hopeless at times, especially against spawn trapping DB clans. I have quite more games in MW3 than all the past COD titles combined.

I am hoping that hotfixes and tweaks will one day solve the problem. It would be nice to have a full night of evenly matched games without the outcome influenced by lag. One can dream right?

To get the transfer title you need to knife a person with the transfer title on. It is the oposite of the infected title where the infected wearer knifes you to give you the title.

Why do you continue to post the same rubbish over and over again. Stop trolling already and play your beloved core modes that all of us whining pansies aren't talented enough to play. I lost count how many times you have spouted the same crap posts. Go play in the street and make yourself useful.

@deadestllama - yes. I went to activisions main site. The button is roughly top and center of page. I figure the more avenues being used, the better the chance of being heard. My twitter correspondence doesn't get a response back. Whether or not anything happens is anyones guess, but at least I got some sort of response from Customer support.

Yesterday I used the Ask A Question button on Activisions Web site and sent a polite note asking if ricochet could please be removed or give options to play without it. I also asked if HC could get more game modes added from past COD titles such as FFA, CTF and HQ. I added in my message that as a long time HC player, ricochet and lack of game modes has made MW3s HC MP experience less enjoyable for myself than all the past CODs.

Customer support sent a response by email in less than 24hrs. Standard thanks for feedback and suggestions, but it did say my concerns would be forwarded to appropriate parties for review and see about possible implementation. Ended with no guarantees though.

I feel better doing something other than nothing. You would be surprised how polite correspondence with a companies Customer support about being dissatified with their product can actually make changes happen. I didn't rant about their game being garbage and full of glitches or insult the developers intelligence.

I grew up with Atari games and Astroids, so I have some patience when it comes to game software, I remember an existence without 3D online multiplayer gaming. If a game had a glitch, you had to live with it because there were no patches/updates. Those were called the next game.

I think the more people that politely nudge the powers that be about our concerns with HC MP and suggestions to make it better, that eventually they will listen. But like OP said, if changes happen, we should be collectively thankful for something changing even if it doesn't appease everyones wishes.

I say don't be discouraged by the posters saying HC community is too small, that we need to get over the fact there are less HC choices and just stay quiet in the back. Silence can often be construde as acceptance. If you want changes, speak up.

Re: Need spawntrapping players, post here.

Spawn trapping takes absolute no skill, except finding the traps and coordinating teammates. People/ teams who do this for K/D, wins or just to piss people off are on just about the same level as boosters and glitchers in my opinion. Why not win on skill and strategy that doesn't involve exploting the extremely horrible spawning system? The s****y maps already give advantages to particular locations. It is a**hats like you that make playing this game frustrating at times.

Does anyone else dislike ricochet on the HC game modes?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:10:22 GMT

I love playing HC COD, but adding ricochet to every game choice is ruining the game for me. I have other issues with the game, but they are being discussed. The only mode that needed tweaking was S&D because of the game start team killing. HC is for players who don't want to play with thoughtless players. I shouldn't be punished because a teammate decides to run after my grenade or in front of my gunfire. I would like it removed or at least a choice not to play with ricochet on.

Any thoughts??

Re: Domination being ruined by KD whores.

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:50:56 GMT

I agree and disagree. If you support your team, that includes helping cap the objectives. Yes keeping enemies back, so teammates can work the objective is key, but we are talking about teammates that win or lose only care about padding their K/D. It is an objective based game. If you and another teammate are trying to capture spots and no one else is playing the objective, it gets really frustrating.

I would like to pick up games by myself without worrying that I will be the only one actually trying to win the game on my team. I have lost count how many games I have played where I am capping a spot, and my teammate(s) just watches or runs by/ away.

If I could win the game myself, I wouldn't be posting. Real Domination objective players, do just that, play the objective. We should be rewarded for that task is all. By making kills worth less, it might just stop the worthless teammates from playing. They should have a place to worry about K/D, just not in objective based games where K/D does jack squawt to actually win like in Domination.

Great post. I don't know what was so bad about WAW's HC solutions. You team kill more than a certain # of times and you are booted from the match, this was along with longer times before respawning being tacked on. It had no explosive damage on HC S&D by either team for 20 seconds or something. This was to stop tube killing by the other team and team killers on your team. I liked it and it seemed fair.

Ricochet is lazy and dumb. I really hate it. You have teamates running around like core and you pay the price. Dumb dumb dumb.

The only problem I had was in HC S&D at match start and having a **** throw, shoot, tube explode the entire team. These players waste bandwidth and peoples time.

I would like to use my assault package again. With ricochet on, it makes airstrikes a flip of the coin as to whether I live or die.

For the love of God or whatever you believe in, Please ditch ricochet. Please Please Please!!

note: I have prestiged in every COD starting with MW/COD4 to present. I never play core. I play core until I unlock hardcore and never go back. Every friend I play with only plays HC. No one I play with likes ricochet. HC players unite... for a better solution!

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:33:38 GMT

Yeah... something needs to be done about these players. Please get rid of ricochet on HC Domination... I used to warn them to help or I'd flash/ concusion them at a bad time. If that didn't work, I'd team kill them if they had assault on. I don't worry too much about KD, but I don't want mine to be worse, because these folks don't know how to play the objective.
