He's got some sick rhymes though, dog.

The patch isn't that great on 360. Hit detection with snipers is still pretty off at times and host problems are still bad but now it just boots you back to lobby instead of out of the game altogether. It's kind of like wrapping bubble gum around a pipe leak or something. It doesn't really fix the problem, just makes it slightly more bearable. Why would they not just design the game to find a new host quickly from the start? This set up reeks of early PS2 online.

The new killcams and the quick mute additions are great though.

PS2? SOCOM used to switch hosts on the fly, mid game. There would be a laggy-pause, but it would switch. This is totally unacceptable to say the game wasn't designed with this in mind. It's a totally rediculous situation that tears you out of the experience.

Yes, the killcam additions are great, the ACOG is better, but the snipers are a lil strange now too. I was a big pusher of this game early on, but now the honeymoon's over.

Yeah, I just dl'd it. When host leaves, you're booted back into the lobby, not the pregame lobby of the group of ppl you were in that room with, but the game's lobby :(

DAMN! why no rumble?? How hard can it be to implement this?

Preach on brother...lack of rumble in this game is really annoying. It doesn't add up - Infinity Ward is a quality dev so this should be a no-brainer.

I'm confused. I just booted up CoD4, played two matches, the host quit BOTH times (of course, it's very common) and both times it just booted me back to my own screen. I wasn't in a game lobby with other players or anything. I thought this patch was supposed to keep everyone else on the server together when the host quit.

Where is the "host migration" feature? It just boots me back into the regular lobby. The mute thing is in and being able to spectate in first person mode.

If Confrontation is anything like S2 I wont be buying a FPS game again for years to come. Just R2 cuz R1 has the best online setup this gen(and halo) and KZ cuz its beautiful looking and with time and money spent on it I'm sure they'll add the basic shit that should have been included in a online game, ie. mute, host migrate, vote kick, proper clan, etc etc.

After R2, Kz, and Socom I doubt I'll ever need to buy a FPS game again, 1 of those 3 has to be a winner.

Just incase anyone is wondering where the patch is for PAL land, SCEE are so fucking retarded that they couldnt even fucking release a PATCH on time and it will (probably) be out tomorrow.

Regretfully it looks like Big was right. I just got word from SCEE that they didn't manage to finish the roll out today (UK Time) and will finish making it available for download tomorrow (UK Time) however no exact time was given as to when tomorrow. Sorry everyone, I was assured and it was scheduled for all of these to come out at the exact same time as they were both certified at the same time, but they will be releasing it tomorrow (UK Time).
