Re: Increasing the speed/stability of my PS3s connection?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:03:30 GMT

We were promised at least 5Mbps in our subscription. We're getting maximum 2Mbps under perfect conditions with wireless.

I really don't know about moving the router. I'll have to look into it.

Paying more per month for the network isn't something I'm going to do. It's already expensive enough.

So I'm thinking about laying ethernet-cables instead. I'm just wondering how much of a difference it will make.

Increasing the speed/stability of my PS3s connection?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 16:41:28 GMT

So we've got horrible internet. No doubt. Though I've been able to play Black Ops/MW2/CoD4 on it just fine earlier when the PS3 were stationed closer to the router.

According to SpeedTest, we have 1.84Mbps download and 0.29Mbps upload. Whiel do.wnloading stuff, I usually get around 200-250Kbps
I know, it's horrible though that's not really the problem. The problem is that the router is on the other side of the house, one floor up, and the connection is very unstable. Unstable connection + weak router + low speed = lag while playing.

So, what can I do to make the connection more stable? Can I increase the upload/download speed?

I've been wondering if ethernet cables would do the trick. Though is it worth it? Cause' it's going to be a lot of work laying the cables across the house.

Thanks!

Make sure that the PS3 is set to use the highest resolution possible in the settings.

Got HDMI cables? If you're still using SCART, the improvements won't be that big.

Why did you bring this up? I haven't heard somebody complain about hardscoping/quickscoping in months.

And I quickscope... a lot.

I do it cause' 90% of the time I get sprayed down while steadying the scope.

Learn to dragscope. It's another way to quickscope. Horribly accurate in Black Ops. Of course, classic sniping is the best way to do it across Array and such.

My words of wisdom: Learn both techniques. They both help you, though only if you use them accordingly to the situation.

Re: Can we talk about weapon balance?

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 11:35:57 GMT

In my opinion, weapon balancing shouldn't be so strict. Then you'll just end up with multiple cloned weapons, like Black Ops.

All weapons should be unique, and not be "locked" to a specific range. Sure, snipers are intended for medium-range combat, but they should be usable as a last-resort in extreme close-range, and visa versa with SMGs and such.

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 11:20:04 GMT

I don't really see the benefits of teamkilling, even if my teammates are being a**holes.

Thugh I hate it when I get cross-map tomahawk teamkills. It has happened to me several times now...

Re: A feature to solve map-pack tryhards...

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 16:18:23 GMT

Nobody likes to lose, but I like to sometimes just chill out without trying too hard.

I do win most of the games I play, but that's cause' I'll have to try pretty hard myself to win. I don't find that fun.

And sometimes, I get sick of the maps in the packs. Just implementing a feature to disable the map-packs in-game doesn't sound like too much.

A feature to solve map-pack tryhards...

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 14:16:57 GMT

Don't you too sometimes go nuts when playing with/against super-tryhards? I ceirtainly do sometimes.

So wouldn't it be great if you were able to temporarily disable the BO map-packs in-game? I find everybody who play on map-packs to be super-tryhards in parties. I usually find it annoying. I play on the PS3, so I have to exit the game in order to disable the system and the map-packs. That kinda sucks...

So, please, implement a feature like that!

Treyarch fails at modifying engines...

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:19:07 GMT

It's hard to believe that the engine used in Black Ops is based off the Call of Duty 4 engine, which in my opinion, were very stable and performed very well, even though host migration wasn't present(though it doesn't matter since host migration fails 8/10 times).

Anyways, how is it possible to mess up a game engine so badly? Sure, the World at War engine wasn't that great, but it seems more stable than the modified version used in Black Ops. Why?

It's not hard to see how the technology has been changing in both Infinity Ward and Treyarch's game...
Infinity Ward manages to make an incredibly stable game engine(IW Engine 4.0 a.k.a the MW2 engine) with decent graphics and OK netcoding, while Treyarch goes in the oposite direction, almost going back in time with bad hit-detection and horrible netcoding and worse graphics.

I'd be happy to know how they failed.

Yeah, it's a bit strange and annoying. I guess only Treyarch can really answer...

And by the way, scrolling half a page cause' of your sig is a bit annoying. Just a tip.

At first glance, I'd go for the one at the bottom, simply cause' the processor sports a higher clock-speed.

Though the other is quad-core, so I really don't know...

Anyways, both would deliver and satisfy your needs.

L96A1 - The Difference Between the PS3 and XBOX360 version

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 23:44:04 GMT

Is it just me or is the in-scope crosshairs on the L96A1 much slimmer on the XBOX360 version than on the PS3 version?

To me it seems like that's true, and it really makes a big impact on accuracy at medium range(cause' I don't believe long-range exists in Black Ops, but that's not the case).
Slimmer crosshairs means clearer vision of the target at range.

Anyways, I've got both versions of Black Ops, and I'm much more accurate with the sniper, specifically the L96A1 on XBOX360 than I am on PS3, even though my skills lies in the PS3 controller which I personally feel many times more comfortable with.
It really makes a big impact, and since I to be honest hate the XBOX360 controller design, I think I'm right.

Anyways, why is it like that. Is it supposed to be that way? Why?

Well, I don't know...

Any thoughts?

Re: Quickscope

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 13:49:31 GMT

To begin, here is the setup I normally use:

Primary weapon: L96A1
-Attachment: Extended mags, Variable scope(whatever you prefer)

Side arm:Python
-Attachent: Dual wield

Perk 1: Ghost
Perk 2: Steady Aim
Perk 3: Optional

Prefered sensitivity: 7+

The reason why I'm setting a sensitivity is because you shouldn't go for clean quickscopes. Always be prepared to pull a dragshot, since you'll 99,99% of the time miss the center of the screen.
At sensitivity levels lower than 7, you'll simply not be able to drag quickly and effectively enough. Trust me, I've been testing this for a long time now. Usually, I'd say that sensitivity is a matter of preference, though this is the exception.

If you do it right, you should be a much better sniper.

To be honest, I'd recommend dragscoping instead of quickscoping at all times, simply because it's x10 more accurate and reliable.

But do not try a drag/quickscope where you can easily just scope n' snipe for the kill.

"Go for wins, not for spins."

Always remember that!

To be honest, I think the Black Ops campaing sucks hard, so I haven't even gotten a single trophy from single-player.
