Thanks Rankismet! This has been a great thread. Every COD always has a Rhythm. Advanced Warfare is definitely the fastest of them all, I feel that no matter what is done to level the power of a gun, a majority of players will find that an SMG will fall into that rhythm. If you are dying constantly by the same gun, rethink your strategy. Try and avoid encountering enemies at a medium range. Sniper Rifles and Shotguns are a great way to take out SMG users if you can anticipate where the other players are. Also you have to move, always be moving, even with a sniper rifle. Take one shot, move. if the enemy is getting close with their ASM1, exo dodge back or to the side as far and fast as you can. This buys time for another shot, or to switch to a secondary weapon. All in All, play how you enjoy the game. I love the EM1 PWNER with the pink laserbeam, and a golden riot shield. Its not a competition setup, my KD is rarely over 1, but its fun. I play with peoples emotions, and I can easily find the guy that killed me because they have to steal my loot!

Banned for banning Yppe before I could.

Eighty7_Octane ... I've just started tinkering with the Lynx. Traditional sniping just isn't working for me - yet. I'm going to work at it some more. But when I sat down to think about snipers, the first thing that came to mind was that I needed to be able to go to good CQC to midrange secondary.

And I needed to be able to do it really fast.

So I've got four classes I'm tinkering with right now. Three Lynx/MP11 classes and a Lynx/Tac 19 class. One of the MP11 set ups has NO perks because I need to do the Lynx-no-perks challenge. One MP11 class is using Gung Ho and Fast Hands so I can try to score some slide kills with the MP11. The other MP11 and Tac 19 classes I swing back and forth with trying to decide if running an SMG is better than a SG with this set up.

Regardless, what is clear is that running a sniper without Overkill, for me, isn't going to happen. Quick Scoping is pretty easy in AW ... but what I run into is having to deal with multiple targets that tend to be 30 degrees or more apart from each other. I can't switch to the second target fast enough and that gets me killed if I stay with the SR. However, if I score the first kill with the SR then begin an egress while switching to the second primary, I'm coming out ahead about 50% of the time. I'm hoping with more practice I'll increase those odds.

The point is, though, that people just assume things should fit together a specific way. One of the "nerf ASM1" arguments I saw recently was that how rebalancing the ASM1 should not take into consideration other weapon classes. That's insane!

CAC is like a puzzle. There's hundreds of pieces that are all shaped exactly the same. So no matter what pieces you use, the puzzle will create a picture of something.

The trick is to get the picture created with a CAC to look like something Michelangelo would have painted.

Hahahaha...... I don't think it was even nerfed. Wasn't the reload time just prolonged by milliseconds??

Wouldn't be the first time the issued a rebalance ... but forgot to change the actual numbers. LOL!

Wouldn't eliminating as much latency as possible be the biggest hitters in your scope? To me, my perception, they believe their algorithms can solve the latency issues when one of the easiest things to do would be regionalize as much as possible first. And they will not do it.

well and we have to believe what they provide us: that games are selected based on best connection possible first as the intiial search criteria.

 

And I quote:

 

Sledgehammer Games studio head Michael Condrey was the one who spoke about Advanced Warfare’s issues, in an apparent effort to make sure people knew the company is trying to be transparent. The Express reports that Condrey took to the COD’s community page in order to address Advanced Warfare’s fans concerns. Condrey made sure people understand exactly how the matchmaking system in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare works as well.

“Player connection to the host always takes priority over skill in the matchmaking process – always, no exceptions. Fast connection to a match hosted on our global dedicated servers is the most important component of our matchmaking system. And yes, to a lesser extent skill as a component of matchmaking is important too. The system is designed to put you in the best match, with balanced teams composed of players of varying skill from your geographic region.”

And the reason I don't believe it is because, apparently I am host quite often, a connection from Brazil to me is NOT the best possible connection and definitely not in my geographic region.

I understand, you are going by what SH has stated but there are several out there that can attest that this isn't the case. I am not the only one, I am sure you may have seen it too and again, why would people need to buy a product like the NetDuma to resolve the issue that they claim is a priority.

I am not trying to be an jerk. I am just stating what I have seen and what I have noticed others doing/stating.

as a tiny clan we were doin ace ,1st in division..update & 2 weeks of no clan or able to access it = demoted to 7th we havent done anything so we cant get points?!

whats with " clan wars bonus-none" why wind players up with that & it reads the same everywhere ?

I think the WHOLE DLC should be free & some more,we should by now have cross platform & banked maps

i should be able to play as misty - on ghosts fog- grief - zombies as easy as goin in a MP game,the techs there ,the servers are there,this game is so far behind modern games its untrue.3 lanes small maps,always has been always will be

ONE DAY SOME BRIGHT SPARK WILL PUT DOWN THE BONG & SAY " HEY! YOU KNOW WHAT,BATTLEFIELD 4 MAPS WITH COD GAMEPLAY.........DUDE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME"

And again...... done with it.... for today at least.

Can you add me There are so many lizardsquads yours is so hard to find PSN jimbosr

I'm about 75% through the game with my son and I would say that one of each trap and one trap master of each element is an absolute minimum. There are 2 additional elements that were released recently: Light and Dark, which will likely add to the running total. This gives a bit more detail:

It is a very expensive game unfortunately, but also a lot of fun playing it together

In Search and Destroy, picking up and/or defusing the bomb through a solid object will be considered abuse of in-game mechanics.

Hosting
Hosting refers to the team that creates a Private match lobby. The team “hosts” the Map by creating the Private match lobby and creating the custom game in accordance with the information on the match page and this rules page. On many games, the individual player that created the room also often hosts the game on his/her connection. On other games, the connection is hosted by in-game servers. Please note that the use of the term “Host” below applies to the individual that creates the Custom Game Lobby.

In a best of 3 and best of 5 series, the higher seeded team must host the first Map. The lower seeded team must choose sides on the first Map. Then, the lower seeded team must host the second Map. The higher seeded team must choose sides on the second Map. This will alternate until a tie breaker is required. The team with the highest overall score will host the tiebreaker map.
For Search and Destroy, the team with the highest round count will host the final map. The non-hosting team will choose which side to start on.

All players must agree that the Host is reasonable before the start of a Map. If a reasonable Host cannot be found, we will help decide who will host the map. If we are not available, the best Host should be used.
We highly suggest that a lag test be performed before the start of each map. If a lag test is not performed, it will be implied that all players agree the host is acceptable to play on.

Once gameplay has begun, the host may not end the game. The only exception is if a player lags out/loses connection to the server(refer to rules 6 and 7 under gameplay) or if an outside player joins and disrupts the match.

Penalties
Settings:
For Search and Destroy, the hosting team will forfeit all rounds where the incorrect setting(s) affected the game.
For all other game modes, the hosting team will forfeit the entire map if the incorrect setting(s) affected the game.
If a map is hosted out of order, the hosting team forfeit the map that was played out of order.
In example, if Biolab is second map and played first, the hosting team will forfeit Biolab. First map will need to be played.

Restricted Items:
For Search and Destroy, use of any restricted item will result in the loss of the round(s) the item(s) were used in if it affected game play.
For all other game modes, use of any restricted item will result in the loss of the entire map if it affected game play.

I Have a similar issue. I get an error message saying that I've been disconnected from black ops 2 servers. Then when I press OK I go to play online and I have a 5 minute probation. Can't even play the game at this point all I can do is stare at a probation screen. I play PS3 btw.

My opinion on clans is that they ruin the casual experience of Call of Duty. It is my belief that clans/parties greater than 3 (4-6 + Ground War) should be forced into a Clan versus Clan sort of playlist. Putting a bunch of solo (potentially casual) players against a party of organized and calculated clanmates is going to make their experience less enjoyable. Do I think it causes lag? Perhaps. Given that these clans could likely have people from multiple different regions, they could likely - although not purposefully - "create" strange connections. I would be willing to be that clans definitely do make connections less than desirable in a lot of cases.

I got the same problem. Every time i go into a game and it keeps on disconnecting me from black ops 2 servers. Its been doing this all day and i am now pissed off. Trayarch you need to fix this. I have had enough of this.

I just got a PS4 and was wondering: when you log into your PSN account on the PS4, does the elite gear also transfer to the new console?

So about 3 weeks ago i bought cod 4 for pc, ive played a lot in my childhood on ps3. the multiplayer server list is completely blank. I looked it up and you had to replace a file with a good one because the one pre installed was blank. Then it said that you have to enable PunkBuster. I cliked enable and it did nothing. i Looked it up and i replaced another file. That it enabled it and i saw the server list and PunkBuster was enabled and i entered a server and the screen changed to a loading screen and i was happy but then it counted up to 12 and said connection time out.

IF someone could give me a step by step instruction or a link to the video or even some sort of compensation for the game i bought that DOSENT WORK that would be very great.

P.S. Activision, I would appreciate a number to call because I find forums very annoying. Oh well.
