I'm not sure if it is the same thing, but in the very first game I played I slid round a corner and knifed someone, got me a patch for it too.

Just called gamestop. Trade in value is only $22.

I was expecting more this early. I'll keep it at that price.

HI guys, long time lurker, finally took the plung to sign up.

- Quick question, playing it on PS4.

- Huge fan of Call of duty 4
- Black Ops II, been playing for the last year - Great Multi player.
- Skipped everything in between,
- Got ghost with PS4, the game feels stiff and there is that jitter that almost gives me a headace. I am not digging the game at all.


I am pretty sure I am going to sell it second hand, is Infinity Ward planning to fix this game's jitter/unlocked frame rate ?

I would say that Black Ops II feels organic and this feels stiff. Is that the difference between IW and Treyarch ? I have skipped number of titles but I would say that I prefer Black Ops II.


Please provide some guidance, Thank you

I asked in the OT Ghosts topic, but I figure I might as well ask in here as it seems to be a little more active.

Anyone traded a 360 version in at Game and upgraded to the PS4 version? Just wondering if they still have their offer on or whatever it was that lets you upgrade, a guy in game a while ago said going across platforms shouldn't be an issue.

So a question about Extinction mode. Me and my buddies keep getting thwarted at the second barrier when the Rhinos show up. Any tips to deal with them? I'm a level away from getting armor piercing ammo which should help a bit. We can usually deal with one Rhino, but then we get steam rolled.

At Best Buy, the 360 version trades in for $40.

If you don't like a Best Buy gift card, they also offer Amazon gift cards which you can buy with it.

I want to have faith in IW and say yes..........but I honestly don't know. If they are up I sure as hell haven't been connected to one. BUT lag is better than other cods and I have only experienced one host migration so I can't really complain.

It only holds 2.

With DC/Refl/SoH I feel really comfortable moving around the map with just the Kastet out.

No it's the same. The grenade launchers on their own are weak and pretty useless, I agree. If you don't mind spending all your perk points to make it usable though, it becomes VERY good.

last night w/ double tubes (under + kastet):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRtgF...ature=youtu.be

I'm running Danger Close + Reflex + Sleight of Hand. It's insane how fast you can launch the tubes. With danger close they are pretty good but the magic comes from the super fast follow up shot. 1 DC tube can kill a blast shiled user if you aim well but 2 will kill blast shield user no matter what! hah

Kastet is a bit worse than underbarrel because it takes a little longer to reload but having 4 of them per life is insane. It's not uncommon for me to get 2-3 kills and I usually fire all 4 as my first four shots when I respawn.

Would not be surprised if they nerfed it. When I run around with it, it feels like a 870 shotgun gameplay but I have unlimited range. LOL

Yeah, blast shield needs a major buff. You noob tubers have effectively ruined Search. I see way too many lobbies with Danger Close tubers and Riot Shield/C4/Danger Close. Blast Shield is way too weak to counter this. And these classes are lame for no respawn modes.

I read that someone with Blast Shield will straight up die to an IED even if the IED user didn't use Danger Close. BS if true.

Sentry guns and armor piercing ammo. Make sure EVERYONE concentrates on them. Grenade turrets help as well. same with armor. Minigun works well too.

Blast Shield is really weak in this one. I don't know if the IED thing is true, but a C4 can kill you without being right on top of you, even if you have blast shield. Same with a variety of launchers.

I think Maaws has to be very close but as far as I can tell DC doesn't boost Maaws damage. Tube has about a 3-4 ft radius that it has to drop in with DC to get a kill from what I've experienced but even that isn't very difficult and killing blast shield people is trivial if you have enough time for a follow up shot.

Don't forget the wolf stuff! That shit is great for quickly targeting aliens.

Noob tuber... I dealt with a group of them a couple of days ago and it was extremely annoying. I almost got to the point of using it but I didn't.

Oh yeah, and apparently in this game, you can throw the C4 around Riot Shields. I encountered the C4/Riot Shield Search class in Black Ops 2, but when they took out their C4, you could still shoot them. In this, you're still covered by the Riot Shield even while throwing the C4. Plus you have Danger Close. And tubes.

And then you have the Riot Shield users who also just camp with their backs to a corner with Amplify until they hear someone run by them.

I don't know if they thought some of this stuff through very well for Search modes...

Played it at a buds place, I don't think it's a locked frame rate either.

I would say black ops 2 is more organized and structured. 3arc since MW2 has taken it upon themselves to basically reform (?) the CoD meta game with both Black ops 1 and especially 2. Not a fan of there vision of it but I can easily see people prefer it over the hot mess of a game Ghost is

edit: actually underneath the mess of it Ghost has potential. I feel like the guns and hit detection are on point and are slightly better then BO2. It's just everything else around it is...ugh

Yeah riot shield with quick switch is pretty dumb. It's extremely easy to get killed by them even though you're still shooting directly at them. I don't know if they're only vulnerable for a very brief amount of time or if they are still protected by the shield, but it's very frustrating. The weapon balance of this game is really garbage IMO.

The problem is, as indicated in the post he made, the people enjoy it and find it to be funny and don't care that they're ruining the game for others.

Judging from every angry xbl message and death mic I've ever heard, I'm ruining the game for others by shooting them with a gun

Since I care nothing for this game anymore I'll tell you the secret. Them doing this is not a bug or a massive screwup. You can shoot through riot shields now. Just shoot the edge of the guy even if it seems you're shooting the shield. Aim for the edge, near the feet head shoulder or arm. The front is not protected anymore, even motionless. You'll kill him. Yeah, so throwing stuff is safer now. But a riot shielder is not safe. Even if it looks like their appendages are neatly tucked in the edges are vulnerable. Period. Now that you know, stop complaining and aim at them. Shielders are worse, they seem to have more protection but they're worse.
