BLOPS2 on PC is frustrating as gently caress to play right now due to the huge number of hackers, I wonder how many months I can enjoy BLOPS3 before the same happens. I am somewhat tempted to buy a PS4 since I imagine hacking is much less common on consoles.

Every Call of Duty game on the 360 had hackers after 1-2 years. All of them.

shouldn't be an issue on xbone/ps4, the 360 was hacked wide open very early on but neither current gen consoles are

OTOH PS4 is almost certainly never going to get the mod tools or the player-hosted dedicated servers they have promised for PC either. Treyarch have also come up with their own anticheat solution for this game so it's not even guaranteed it will be easy to cheat indefinitely like in Blops2.

Probably because to use VAC, you have to hook it into you code in a ton of different places, and you also have to use CEG for copy protection via Steam.
Also, VAC doesn't work very well. Neither does CEG. So...

Every CoD has used VAC on PC since at least MW2. VAC is not intrusive enough to be able to detect new cheats, it will only catch known or very poorly programmed cheats. There are several people running very blatant aimbots in AW on PC who have been doing so on the same account for months and have been reported countless times but nothing ever gets done about them.

so when I go to the blops website the countdown timer says 4hrs:57mins... is this just incorrectly using my timezone or will it actually release early in australia/nz ?

edit: what I mean is - is it releasing @ midnight in each timezone or @ the same moment globally.

If you're doing PC ozgameshop is doing a Steam key for $60 AUD. They're legit.

Otherwise Big W has it for $64, JB for $68

Every demon wants his pound of flesh
It would be a laugh if the digital downloads didn't include the day one patch, which you then had to spend 4 hours downloading in order to play online.

Question for Xboners. Last November on DAY ZERO it took ages for Advanced Warfare to install and patch before I could get playing. My connection speeds are decent (76Mbmps down, 19Mbps up) but the Xbox often doesn't hit those speeds even though it's capable, according to the bandwidth test.

So when I get this bad boy tomorrow, am I better installing it from the disc while offline, and then download the patch when I connect to the intertubes, or should I let it do that simultaneous install/download thing?

I ordered from them a few hours ago and haven't got mine yet. Hopefully since they're Aus-focused they'll send keys out at 12am or something? Doesn't give you long to preload but it's better than paying $60 USD

"Pre-ordered products (including codes) will be sent out as soon as we receive them from our suppliers, either on or a couple of days before the release date stated in the product description."

Patch is available on the bone now, not sure if it'll automatically download or you have to kick it off.
