On Nukeboat, I think in the building on the A site, does anybody get really bad screen tearing when aiming down the sights over that railing? It's kinda hard to explain, but there's a spot where my entire screen becomes a blurry mess. I haven't seen anybody mentionning that.

Yes they redid the lighting to make it brighter.

Crowbar attacks twice as fast as the combat knife. Pay2Win is real :allears: Probably an oversight due to animations.

Hey dudes, since the new update on xbone, had anyone noticed that aiming, particularly down the sites seems to be super slow?

Which gun are you using? Apparently Treyarch stealth nerfed the ADS time of a bunch of guns. The Kuda is almost as slow as the Dingo now. :laugh:

This isn't even that bad, it's just some of what I bothered to record. Now imagine that poo poo game after game, night after night. And this was on 4 bar. It gets exponentially worse at 3, which I have frequently.

Holy poo poo. That's bad if it's not dedicated... if it was on dedicated then that is a joke.

I've seen at least twice guys who should have been gotten by a conc somehow take no effect so I think there is a rare bug with tacticals.

So last night I couldn't connect to an xbox live party (game party worked fine). Every time I did it dropped me from the party chat after a few seconds. Has anyone every had this happen?

I show an open NAT, play on a wired connection, my router has all the correct open ports and the network stats all come back good. I tried playing a couple games and my fps dropped to the point the game was a slideshow. After about an hour I came back and while I still couldn't join party chat I could at least play and use game chat.

It also seems to take about 45-60 seconds to start up and log into xbox live now.

Consoles are p2p so quality can vary wildly. I've seen games where nobody has a 4 bar, I don't know how that even happens. And yeah, I've hit people with tacs and had no hitmarker and apparently no effect. Also the night the new maps dropped I was shooting someone with a Brecci and kept getting flak jacket hitmarkers :psyduck:

get good scrub


That you are able to join the party, then get immediately get dropped is weird. If there was some networking issue, I'd assume you wouldn't even be able to join the party in the first place. That being said, check on port 16000 TCP/UDP if you haven't. I believe that port may be used for party stuff. Also check if your router is filtering Teredo, and if so, try disabling that.

I have no idea of the veracity of it, but I have read somewhere that the 'e' at the end of the version string at the top right of the screen when the scoreboard is up indicates that you are on a dedicated server. That has lined up with my experiences. There was one Ground War game recently where it seemed obvious that Caf was the host as he had 4 bars and everyone else had 3, and during that game there was no 'e' at the end of the version string. Every other time I have looked, I have seen that 'e' and I can't recall ever seeing a host migration despite people leaving games frequently. I'd have to double check, but I think most often on Xbone I end up playing on a dedicated server around St. Louis.

I wish they'd be upfront about this crap. That and put the whole thing on dedis. You're still going to get some relative lag based on location but probably not as bad as some random kid whose entire family is streaming netflix at the same time. I should really dig into my router's settings and see if there's anything I can gently caress with. This is a pretty good CoD title and I like playing but goddamn sometimes I want to punch a chromebook.

Since patch on PC queue times have gone down the toilet randomly and it felt very laggy though I could've just been in bad rooms. Like I lost every gun fight. 95% of the time when I start getting mad I just look at pings and killcams and nod my head.

I played with Xcal but he had an aimbotter on his team so it sucked. He used brecci which made me sad.

Any new numbers from victrix since the update? The AK doesn't feel quite as good as before and the ICR feels better than before? Pump shotgun couldn't 1-shot anybody from the hip anymore unless literally humping them. Also the Manowar with rapid fire was now terrible but without rapid fire was dominant (all different from before). Am I the only one?

Golded the Man O War last night; zero issues with it. RDS - Long Barrel - Fast Mags. The ICR has been good for a while now, and the KRM has always been garbage since beta- Fuzzo excepted.

I'll check all that thanks Ven. My router is the old lovely verizon one so I'll try to see if they will give me the new one without paying. They make it nice and difficult to use your own of course.

KN (AK?) is significantly better post-patch. It's probably the best non-burst AR.

A50's are pretty loving good. You'll slowly begin to detest people who are using iPhone earbuds with their DS4's, though. They pick up a ton of background noise which will keep some people on perma-mute.
