Yeah, it seems Xbox users are mostly in the clear but PS3 and PC gamers are left high and dry with what amounts to a broken game. Here is a video from NextGenTactics that is getting spammed all over the official COD:BO section. It's a bit over-dramatic and repetitive, but he touches on the main issues...
Well, that's just fucking dandy. It's not like I've been playing a lot lately (the broken down tv issue came back) but I did notice that before the patch matchmaking was horrible. I don't have an open NAT type, it's set on moderate so it could be better but apparently the patch made it even worse? Christ. I might hop back to MW2 after all. I am very excited about my new TV though. Bought this one. Anyone heard of it? It looked awesome, but the Korean guy didn't let me plug in my PS3. I hope it works.
What has two thumbs and is cool enough to play on Xbox? This guy. In all seriousness, it sucks that PS3 and PC guys have been screwed over with this update. I agree with GunsForHire that Treyarch can't afford to take an entire month to unfuck themselves. This is the first major thing that's gone wrong post-release, so I think it's unfair to give up on them entirely so quickly.
If it's that bad, and not an easy fix why can't they just roll back everyone to the previous version until they figure out what is going on?
Come on, Black Ops is not that bad. It took awhile getting used to, but I think Treyarch has improved on its predecessor. Most complaints have been personal preferences aside from online issues. Granted this is coming from a 360 player, but what do you PS3 players expect from free online service?
So, I'm playing today with my usual set up, and started to notice something when I was getting care packages. They were ALL ammo. 18 of them. So i re-rolled, every single time. Guess what they rolled into? Spy Planes. EVERY GODDAMN ONE. maybe its this patch? I dont know, I love having a spy plane after 2 kills... basically ensures me getting to 4 (care package) and 8 (chopper gunner) however, if this shit keeps up, I'm going ghost and switching up some kill streaks. anyone else have this problem?
I'm pretty sure the patch made it so care packages no longer include things like Blackbird, Rolling Thunder, or anything involving a higher kill streak. It happened to me a couple times so I just switched from care package to Napalm Strike. I'm loving the new patch so far, it was a little rough getting used to the lower knife lunge. I found myself trying to knife anyone close to me and would completely miss only to get shot up, but now it actually makes more sense since its tougher to knife someone while getting bullets sprayed into your chest.
No I've been connecting fine, played my first match in a while yesterday. Some dumb ass t bagged me while I had an AC-130 up. I saw him just humping away on top of me so I switched to the 20mm and swept him without so much as touching myself even though he was right on top of me. After the match cue him and his clan flipping shit and the hate mail rolling in. Owned.
I seriously NEVER got the reason why so many people thought that shit was that funny. I always figured it was just 12 year olds. Why waste time when someone else could come along and shoot you while you're digitally humping a digital corpse?
What the effing h? Do you mean to tell me that people would virtually hump vulnerable enemies with their own character when they had air support up? Is this a joke? Sigh. And people think MW2 is better.
Video Game irony- Wife bought me a Turtle Beach headset for my birthday so she wouldn't have to hear it in the next room. I'm louder with the headset than the tv ever was.
Just pointing this out. I was going down the list to see who I didn't already have added and apparently I have you on my friends list, twice. Do you play on two accounts or something?
