Man, Modern Lobby Waiting 2 was the best game. :allears:

That said, once you got in, it was way, waaaaaay more stable than every release post-BLOPS 1.

MW2 is the gold standard in gameplay, no argument there, but BO1 had good server management and browsing, and a passable gameplay meta

BO2 was a cashgrab laced with nostalgia that somehow ended up OK

AW was like a beershit followed by a spicy indian poo poo - you think it's just gonna be nasty but OK and then it goes nuclear and completely catches you by surprise and scorches your bhole for weeks

The one guy who did that stopped, so it took ages, in life-of-the-game terms, to get them for A&W.

It's OK, though, everyone will use whatever Drift0r tells them to.

I really hate drift0r, mainly because he's a youtuber, second because he has bad opinions and third because he gets the stats wrong most of the time, like he did for months in A&W and then tried to cover it up with a bunch of "WHOA THIS PATCH CHANGED EVERYTHING GUYS" videos.

Blops2 didn't have BAD maps, just not as good as MW2 and COD4. There's a reason they keep bringing them back as DLC! WA's maps, on the other hand, were mostly garbage.

Supposedly IW fixed a long standing bug with the COD engine where the hit detection doesn't register every shot properly (like shooting a guy in the head with a sniper rifle and getting a hitmarker).

This makes the most sense, it's amazing how often that kind of poo poo stays around in engines. A co-worker of mien is working on a game right now with an engine that is very old, and there are bugs in it that have been present since the first PS1 version of the engine, but never fixed.

Additional spergpoints about KC -

CoD wiki posted:

Kill Confirmed reappears in Call of Duty: Black Ops II [...] However, the player now gets 50 points for killing an enemy and 100 for confirming a kill, both of which will go towards the player's scorestreak.
This is good! it promotes people confirming existing kills and using ~teamwork~ to achieve victory!

CoD wiki posted:

Kill Confirmed once again appears in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. [...] Killing a enemy player awards 50 points, picking up a enemy/friendly tag awards 50 points
This sucks. It makes killing and confirming equal, which means it's just TDM.

Additionally, BLOPS2 had 100 points to win, A&W had 85, and Ghosts had 65. Higher score limits are always better in KC, as they encourage actually doing the game-mode objective.

boy, this turned into a lot of :words: by my codthread shitposting standards. Basically blops2 > ghosts / A&W based on game-mode implementation.

Personally I thought it was so scrubs like me can play a TDM mode yet still stand a chance of getting a decent score or kill-streak just from picking up tags and maybe shooting the occasional man.

that's teamwork though, feeding off of the work of the team.

For now... :tinfoil:
I hope you're right though.

So, why doesn't CoD use Valve Anti-Cheat for PC, anyways?

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...

this COD isn't very good. Seriously, I am almost wishing for a bunch of things from AW.

I want my AK12 back, the KN44 is garbage
The lag is worse than AW launch
The boost jump /slide sucks and is inconsistent as gently caress
wallrunning is dumb as poo poo
THEY BROKE NUKETOWN
Seriously, nuketown is even worse in this game, what the gently caress
Specialists are loving retarded and a terrible design decision

Pings seem to vary for me between 30's and 15-ish depending on the round, and the former makes it nearly unplayable, and the latter I do ok with.

I mean, I still suck at cod, but I suck less with 15-ish pings

The ping numbers are... inaccurate at best. I've been on 3-bars that claim 65ms that are just perfect, and last night I was on "4-bar" connections that CLAIMED 15ms but were fairly obviously 100ms+ (from killcams, reaction times, etc.)

So yeah, this is COD, all the connections suck, just calm the gently caress down or keep a spare chromebook around. You'll have good games and bad games and there isn't actually that much you can control about it, so just have fun.


edit: also when your team is calling out enemies and such reaction times and lag matter WAY less, so there's that.
