God, it happened again...

I was doing really well and then I got into a game where every time I tried to shoot someone I'd get hit markers and yet the person I was shooting would shrug it off and kill me in one shot. And then the killcams would show I was just standing there. Everyone on the other team had 2 or 3 bars. I had four. The fucking lag compensation is bullshit, I'm fucking pissed.

 

[The Wraith]

This game, just like Modern Warfare 3 before it has some of the worst network coding on the face of the planet. Its unplayable for me. I have my Xbox connected via Ethernet and I have Verizon fios with speeds of 35 Mbps a sec down and 20 Mbps up. There is no way I should be having these connection issues. I'm constantly a half a second behind. All my ports are forwarded and my Nat is open. Fuck this game.

Bwahahahaha!

I thought it was just me! The same thing is happening to me often. I swear I shoot first and then the kill cam makes me look like a effin nooblet.

 

[Xamdou]

Man my initial hunch was to not get this game, I finally caved today and got it. I deeply regretted it, bad hit detection and the lag ruins the game.

 

[PSYGN]

This game plays as if everyone plays at their own connection speed, which sucks for me as mine ain't the fastest. And I'm stuck with 3 bars most of the games. IW's Call of Duty series detected my shots very smoothly. Black Ops was mostly a hit and a few misses. This game is a toss up depending on who I run into. In MW3 and Black Ops I was still able to get my shots registered pretty consistently and quick. But in this game, more than half the time I would either not yet shoot them in their killcam or be shooting at their shadow as they run by. Seriously frustrating. It seems to happen to every other player, and they would sometimes skip around on my screen as they got into my view. I popped in MW3 and it was smooth again, and I never got complaints of lagging or skipping around on the screen in the other games. Whatever Treyarch did broke the game for me, but I hope it's just something to do with the launch fever.

 

[FStop7]

I think the lesson to be learned here is if you end up in a game where a lot of the other players have slower connections, then quit. Just quit out and try your luck in another lobby.

On the bright side, this only happened to me once tonight, out of a total of around 20 games played. But mother fuck, when it does happen it's absolutely infuriating.

 

[papersleeves]

50mbps connection here. Never had a single problem with lag compensation, hit detection, spawn points or any shit of the sort. I think I should simply stop reading this topic because it's astonishing all the problems peoples seem to have when It's a damn perfect experience for me. This topic has turned into a big fucking complaint box. Not fun at all.

 

[The Wraith]

We're screwed

Lol. So true. I will say this. If they do not fix this shit I am done with this series. I fucking hate the lag compensation this game puts on me. Its like Im being handicapped. Fuck activision and treyarch. Call of duty is dead. Long live Battlefield.

 

[Fistwell]

MP still running great for me. Little noticeable lag, very little camping for a cod game. Nice flow developing in some of the games. Flanking the other team with a suppressed PDW is hilarious fun. Reasonably balanced games with the occasional landslide. A lot less of the GIANT S'PLOSIONS EVERYWHERE OMG KILLSTREAK AC130 RUUUN syndrome of past cods. Not even too much grenade spam (except on nuketown). Spawns have been fine, with the exception of smallish maps when my team is spread out (nuketown, hijacked).

Maps are hit and miss, but I'm warming up to some of them. I don't hate hijacked so much any more. Still loving turbine. Starting to enjoy drone and aftermath.

Yeah on a technical level, MP has been fine for me as well.

Viva la shoot bang! (with no lag compensation)

 

[FStop7]

Carrier is a weird map. I can't find a rhythm to it.

 

[Cudder]

As of right now, I really do feel the hit detection is better on Blops1. But I'm assuming that's cause all the patches. I respect your opinion though. Multiplayer has seriously been frustrating. Lol.

Okay, this game is officially off my Christmas list. It is done.

Thank you gents for your impressions. I simply cannot and wont deal with the problems I had in Black Ops 1 again.

Like really man. With all the complains floating around, it's like we're playing a whole different game...

The only maps I'm not too fond of are slum and karma. I don't hate them. I just don't like those two as much as the others.

Okay, this game is officially off my Christmas list. It is done.

This game is great fun, and I'm someone who used to hate CoD games. Why would you only focus on the negative opinions and avoid all the positive ones?

Good move. Im extremely pissed off with this game because I had the same issue with modern warfare 3 and swore the series off. My fucking uncle is a huge call of duty fan and he lives across the country from me so the only time we spend bullshitting with each other is usually over a few games of call of duty. He convinced me to buy this piece of shit and now I'm kicking myself in the ass. I'm done with this game for good if it isn't ironed out.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I'm definitely having some issues with lag compensation on the PC, although only occasionally. Sucks that people are having it frequently.

 

[MormaPope]

Wow, after watching streams and seeing the impressions in this thread I'm really glad I went with Halo 4 this year. I loved the shit out of CoD multiplayer since CoD 2 and I loved Black Ops 1 but it seems like Treyarch forgot about what made Black Ops 1 feel different and fresh.

 

[papersleeves]

Carrier is a weird map. I can't find a rhythm to it.

I usually avoid the lower deck and simply scout around on the upper one. Don't fear cutting through the middle ground. Most people seems to avoid it in fear of being sniped/killed but that's to your advantage as most will walk around by the sides. Perfect to flank them.

 

[Cudder]

I'm sure the game can be fun, but I remember I had specifically these exact lag problems in Blops 1, and it was infuriating. A handful of people bringing back those terrible memories is enough to sway me on this game.

[Zeal]

There's always Halo, gentlemen.

 

[jns]

Can I just say if you are running a knife class and I shoot you with a shotty front on, even if it doesn't kill you, you shouldn't be able to just keep sprinting and warp in for a 1hk stab. I got no problems with 'knife' class but it should only 1hk from behind. The game desperately needs to fix the stagger effect from shotguns to stop the knife spam imo.

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

Messed around in the emblem editor. Closest I could get it. Do you unlock more layers or is 32 max?

32 max. Here's mine.

My friend made Cartman so I thought I would make Kenny.

 

[anonymous_abc]

ok, so played my first few games yesterday and am enjoying it so far, but as usual I have no idea about what a good class layout is.
suggestions?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

All opposing players must make a contract with me

 

[brokenbeans]

I'm taking some time off from this to preserve my KD it's been falling the last few hours I've played.

I'm not doing anything different but the game is.

 

[Interficium]

I have at least .2 seconds of lag comp on my connection at all times in this game.

This is the kind of connection I have:

And this is on wireless. My xbox is wired to the router. Sad.

 

[The Wraith]

There's always Halo, gentlemen.

Oh believe me when I say I have Halo and love it. I'm just blowing off some steam because I wasted 60 bones on this shitshow of a game released by a shitstain of a developer and publisher.

 

[Victrix]

Prefacing this by saying I'm enjoying the game and I've had relatively few issues with lag code

That said, we have a canadian who regularly plays with our party, and when he does, everyones connections are worse, usually his

He had a game earlier where he was bouncing 2/3 bar, and he pulled two fucking VTOL Warships. He's all "They can't kill me!"

:|

 

[shungokusatsu]

The lag compensation punishment needs to gtfo, as do these super shitty pop out my asshole spawns.

Also, I still can't play most modes. The lobby will be full with 12 users and it gets stuck in an endless cycle between saying 'the match is about to begin' and 'looking for more players'.

 

[ecnal]

the mp is straight up awful -- plain and simple.

spawns are horrible.
at least half of the maps are horrible.
the above two make a ton of the game types horrible.
uav spam is horrible.
the lag compensation is horrible.

hadn't played a cod since mw2, so i thought this would be a great time to hop back in... WRONG.

Same here, I think. I've been reading this thread frequently because it just feels weird to not buy the new CoD, and I've been on the fence about it, but the lag compensation that seemed to come into play with these games after MW2 has almost entirely killed the series for me. I am by no means a stat whore, and play only to have fun, but it is infuriating to lose the majority of 1-on-1 encounters through no fault of my own. As much as I want to buy this, I don't think I should punish myself yet again.

No. He can d/l at about 12mb per second. 100mbps doesn't mean 100 megabytes per second.

 

[Xux]

Prestiged my 870; miss the Long Barrell already, lol. QBB's also a pretty sexy gun though it's annoying having to grind for Quickdraw on the LMGs.

 

[HiiiLife]

Played my first strike force mission. And all I have to say is.. WTF? Take me back to the actual campaign. Lmao.

 

[SkyMasterson]

So split down the middle in here, I wonder what side it will move over to as times goes on, good or bad. I finally tried hardpoint and it's great. That and Dom will be my go to modes.

Yea, I actually plan on picking it up tomorrow, but maybe I should wait.

Then again, why wait? It will still be the same price in a year.

I can play the campaign and zombie mode while I wait for a patch to fix the lag...if it's fixable.

How's the campaign compared to the first Black Ops? I enjoy all the Call of Duty campaigns, so I'm pretty stoked to try this one out as well.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

As somebody who felt MW3 was nearly perfect, I'm having a LOT of trouble with this game.

I had a decent k/d in MW3 but I'm getting chewed up here. I feel like I'm playing against professionals.

I had a shit k/d in MW3 but I'm mostly pulling even here, with the occasional 3-4k/d game. I feel like I'm facing reasonable competition.

I think, on some level, CODPLOS2 is the anti-MW3. And Graffgor is Festwill from bizarro-world!

 

[HiiiLife]

So far I've done a few missions in campaign.

Spoiler

Just did the flashback mission with Menendez. Put a machete in multiplayer Treyarch. Lmao.

 

[amar212]

Yesterday a strange glitch happened to me during server-chocking period.

I went into Create a Class and was grated with 17 slots for equipment loadout. 17.

I thought it was something that unlocked for me with ranking, so I didn't actually took any pictures. I made a 17-items classes and went over to join friends. Once I did, my classes went back to usual 10, and I had "17/10" displayed with red lettering.

Strange.

Is it even possible to obtain more slots for equipment then 10 through gameplay?

 

[Fistwell]

haxor!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

After 48 hours, I can officially declare there is no hope left for Call of Duty. It's gone. The greatness of CoD4 will never return. It's been lost to this madness that we see now. This run-and-gun, broken spawn, no teamwork, killstreak focused, technically flawed madness.

As much as Treyarch has developed an eSports boner over the last two years, I really expected this to be a much more cohesive game than MW2 and MW3 were and more like Black Ops 1. It's not. It's Call of Duty on a turbo speedball, if you can even fathom that.

Black Ops 2 is more of the same bullshit: constant headglitching, easier-than-ever quickscoping, getting shot less than three seconds after you spawn, that typical Treyarch garbage hit detection, and more lag compensation to punish you for having a good connection when you get shot at before you even see an enemy yet on the killcam he's looking at you for a full second before shooting.

They don't give a shit about fixing any of this stuff. They just want your money every year. It's the same old shit every year. And suckers like me fall for the hype every year. Well, no more for me.

As someone who was thoroughly unimpressed with Halo 2, 3, and Reach, Halo 4 blows this game out of the water. Not even close.

And then the killcams would show I was just standing there. Everyone on the other team had 2 or 3 bars. I had four. The fucking lag compensation is bullshit, I'm fucking pissed.

Yup, happens to me aswell.

The most infuriating thing is when someone just pops around a corner and one shots you, all in a fraction of a second. Then on kill cam you see he had ample time to line up the shot, except his position updates maybe once a second so the view just warps around.

My connection, for reference:
