To all you face off players.

Its called face off, not hide and seek. You whine and complain when people like me back out and call me the problem. The game was meant to be fast paced yet most of the people i wind up going against do nothing but camp in corners with Blind eye and Assassin or just hide. I just backed out of a match because i ran around for like a minute looking for someone who apparently wanted nothing to do with "Facing off". Its pathetic.

    Re: To all you face off players.

    It's really sad.  My teammate quit right when the game started.  Then a guy joined in progress, saw it was 1 vs 2 and quit.  The game was spent trying to seek out the hiding players.  Finally quit because it was so boring.

        Craigs right. This is just another thread crying about how people arent playing the way others want them to.  I havent played the mode yet. But campers are in all modes. Figure out their style, adapt, and find a way to win. Its about winning, not seeing how fast you can make the game end.  Might be boring sometimes, but a wins a win, go on to the next and take it as a learning experience.

    Re: To all you face off players.

    Bro i understand your frustration i haven't played the face mode it self but i have gone through the maps on private there are pretty allright but i refuse to go into the mode it self number one its core number two exactly what you said above its camper pro on with dark corner pro it is disguting to see players like that.

    The only thing that might save that dumb game mode is if they ristrict certain perks like BEP-AP and the kill Streaks and leave that bloody radar on then there might be a chance, dont get it twited thoe they will still camp and the Lag comp will screw you over but at least the game mode will be salvageble.

    Thet game mode should have never entered the playlist sorry to say the only way i will play that game mode is if its in private with my clan members or friends.

    Re: To all you face off players.

    I quit a few matches today because ppl were camping in corners and not moving at all!! Really is annoying. People can say yeah but I can play how I like I bought the game . Yeah true but why are they playing this game mode ,go sit in a corner in SnD.

       As I played a few games I started to notice ppl agreeing not to camp when they were chating in the pre game lobby which is great as all these games where fast paced and exciting and even if I was losing I didn't mind and stayed in the game.

    Re: To all you face off players.

    Lulz for days.  It's almost comical that this game mode actually got all the way through all the testing and quality assurance and other approval processes, and made it to the street.  A lot of people made some poor decisions this time around.

    like most things, what it was supposed to be and what it becomes are complete opposites. you don't actually think that people will run around the map do you? they'd be risking their precious K/Ds

    Lewie, you completely missed the point, the game should be called "pants down" as that's what Wiggy is coming up against.

    Re: To all you face off players.

    I am 15-0 playing the 1v1 playlist.  Most of the people I play against are BE/A whores.  And when they start to get beat by 1-4 kills on average they quit.  If I run around the map for a min straight and don't find someone I just stop looking and "Camp", expecially if I have the lead.

     

    The average person's 1v1 class...

    Blind Eye

    Assassin

    Dead Silence

    ACR Silenced or other silenced weapon.

    Motion Sensor

    Claymore

    Support killstreaks, UAV, CUAV, Sam Turret.

     

    The only thing I want is an unlimited sweaping radar or radar always on for the 1v1.

    Re: To all you face off players.

    Liking the new game mode, hating sniping campers who do not play the objective, playing kc and it was drawn out as we were able to collect our own tags as they refused to move from one area and made it almost impossible to get to them, thought about quitting but I'm not that type of player.

    Re: To all you face off players.

    I played one game of 2v2 last night and quite enjoyed the map and the concept and when me and my team mate actually found someone and had the chance to 'face-off' it was fun. Sadly the emphasis has to go on 'when we found someone' 

     

    I also think they could perhaps(not that I know how this would work) match people of a similar level together in teams. I'm not very good at this game and I kind of felt sorry for the guy they matched me with as he was a good player!

    Re: To all you face off players.

    Tried it last night against this two man team.  I got my @ss handed to me.  I wish I can say they were camping or something but nope.  Just a whole lot better. 

     

    But I'm also not sure how the hosting or lag works with this few people playing.  I didn't quit out of any matches so I can't say for sure if I was host but it seemed like I was a tad bit behind.  I imagine on a 1v1 or 2v2, any slight lag becomes a huge advantage.

     

    Does anyone know after your opponent has quit if it changes host?

    It should be Bare Bones 1v1 and 2v2.  Remove perks and KS.  This should promote more action.

    Re: To all you face off players.

    It's funny that in the threads alot of people say how easy it is to kill a camper, but when it comes down to a 1v1 with a camper everyone starts complaining...

     

    If campers are so bad, then it should be an easy win...

      Re: To all you face off players.

      alot of people dont realize just how effective it can be to head glitch in certain areas of a map, It's not always so simple to get at campers depending on how they camp. People say "oh tube and stun them!!" thats great, unless they are posted up as head glitchers with blast shield or "flank them!!" not so easy when there are some spots on these face off maps that can easily be covered by 2 people and there arent very many ways to get at them that they cant see you coming. taking out a team of campers when you have 6 people all flanking from different directions or 3 teams of 2 flanking its easy, taking out 2 campers with just 2 peoplke, not as easy

    Re: To all you face off players.

    i tried both modes: 1v1 and 2v2. found that 1v1 is campfest while 2v2 actually moves smooth. i really liked 2v2, specially when you have a friend you like to play with and communicate well

    Re: To all you face off players.

    I tend to agree with the OP. The game type needs some sort of adjustment to speed up the game and remove those who wish to sit in corners. I absolutely refuse to even attempt to play the 1v1 matches based on that experience from 2v2

     

    Despite the extremely small  map sizes, the majority of the games i attempted to play yesterday consisted of assassin, blind eye, dead silence with silenced mp7's. Not my idea of a face off. And here i was, before the release, thinking this was going to be a fast paced game type reminiscent of the carnage on shipment back in CoD4...  i was wrong.

     

    I believe they should atleast remove assassin from the playlist at the very least. Then people cannot attempt to hide/camp and force them to move around. Can't really think of anything else that would fix it. Only problem with that idea would be the fact everyone would probably have UAV's/motion sensors on every single class and it would turn into a race for the first UAV... which would defeat the purpose.. Shame.

    Re: To all you face off players.

    I only played 2 vs 2 and had no problems with campers. I just dont allow people to camp! These maps are so small you really dont have many places to hide. Run an smg or shotgun class. I wasnt a fan of this new game mode when it was announced but it was a nice change of pace yesterday.

      Re: To all you face off players.

      I had loads of fun on 1v1 earlier, I started off with a sniper but failed miserably so Cm901 came into play, I ran around and had a ball with the other player, on the other hand I had a go on 2v2 and what a bunch of pricks they were, telling me on their mics that "this is a quick scoping" map so leave now if you dont use one, they were a clan that was pissed off that I was in the game anyway, I pay for my xbox live so will go on whatever map I want with whatever weapon I want 2 finger salute to whoever thinks they boss me around - Im a 38 yr old mom that takes no **** lol. Oh and Activision fix the dropzone problem, Im sick of Dome every time !!

       

      Oh campers let them camp, just throw a semtex into their tent !!

    Re: To all you face off players.

    Assassin can not go anywhere in this game. 1v1 and 2v2 is all about map movement, getting around the map effectively, outplaying your enemies movements. The minimap will totally take that factor out.

    Re: To all you face off players.

    I played about ten games of 2 vs 2 and had a blast. Had a teammate quit on me a couple of times, but another joined the game soon after.

     

    Funny, I didn't even do that well and when I did my kdr was just even, but it's the most fun I've had in a while.
