Played a few more rounds today and quite enjoyed it. Never played BO3 so I don't know how they compare. ADS aim speed seems really loving low though. If I start shooting and I'm not perfectly amied on them then I find it impossible to correct the aim in time before I'm dead. Can't tell if it's the netcode that's loving me or just my unfamiliarity with playing on a controller but fuckers always seem to take at least 4-5 shots without going down then they'll kill me in 3.
The folk 'round here that got gud recommend correcting aim by strafing, and not by using the right stick as controllers aren't as sensitive and you'll usually end up overcorrecting the other way and your shots going wide. If stock is an attachment option use that.

One of the few good reasons to buy this bitch digital - MWR is already playable with SP. Also they probably did it digital only so they can sell it as a code later without having to print discs.

I thought I'd preloaded, when I checked the data it said I had 50 something gigs but when I went to play, nope, gently caress you gotta download another 20 before you can play. So I booted up MWR and played that for a bit but was having the same old problem of mag dumping somebody at point blank and not getting hitmarkers. So gently caress it I'm going to bed :mad:

I think the servers semi-collapsed there for a bit. Had a few games where everyone was stuttering and poo poo. Smoothed back out towards the end. I notice the lag more in IW, maybe because of the low TTK or else I just sort of got used to it in Blops after months. I seem to have more good games than bad though :shrug:

IM DAY DAY IRL posted:

I was having no-bullshit 7.0 - 10.0 KDR games the other day for a hour or two. it legitimately felt like I had the game genie turned on because I wasn't doing anything differently at all yet later that day kept going .5 - 1 with different hosting. I have no idea what is happening with this game
This is me (with a much lower good KDR, usually 1.5-3). When it's running well it's fun and nuts and though the maps are still kind of confusing I do all right. When it's bad it's loving terrible. Like if I had a spare Chromebook lying around I'd punch it terrible.

MWR isn't any better. Had a game on Vacant where I went 26-5 or somesuch, but the majority of them were "dump an entire RPD magazine into someone and get killed with a pistol." There's no way to make up for lag with the slower gameplay. MWR was just a bonus as I never played the original, but it's fun to be idiots and hush or whatever so I hope they get stuff squared away on both titles.

e: and since I'm a masochist I'm off in about 45 minutes and will be playing.

So I am new to call of duty multiplayer so looking for tips because every single matched I've played, I get killed before I even get the chance to fire a single shot.

I have played shooters but for the life of me I cannot seem to land a single kill and die 20 times in a match
If you haven't played FPSs for awhile CoD is fast as gently caress. Try playing a local match or 7 against bots just to learn the map layouts so you'll have an idea of where people will be coming from. Playing with an SMG might help, the default one is my favorite and you can spray bullets little laserbeams everywhere. Also keep an eye on the minimap. Because it's so fast, spawns flip often. Where your teammates aren't is where the enemy is.

you have "average" internet, so what lag comp sort of does is try to make your connection as good as mine (150/50) and mine as bad as yours so what ends up happening is what Macys described
Yeah, it's pretty obvious when the connection is bad. I've been around a corner for a full second and then was suddenly dead. Or mag dumped into the back of someone's head and had them turn around and kill me. There was an in-depth (if somewhat dry and boring) demonstration someone did showing how lag comp worked with one of the older CoDs. With 2 people recording simultaneously one of them would see the other player nearly a full second before the other one did. In a game like this with really high ttk you're going to get loving murdered if you aren't on par with other players.

It's game mode/time dependent. There might be a small bonus for winning. It's probably just a rough c/p of the BO3 earn rate, which was (roughly) scaled based on the expected time it takes to finish any given game mode.
I think Macys bitch is that we can be in the same lobby and I'll get 2 keys and he'll get .5, like there's some fuckup there.

There was an issue with earning keys period, but that's some PC issue with long steam names (lmao PC cod).

I did a number of speed tests using that tool posted a couple pages ago and then averaged those out and took 90% of the values. Then I enabled QoS on my router (quality of service) and put the calculated numbers in. I've been way more consistent with this trash heap since and regularly go positive as a result. The number of bullshit deaths is minimal in comparison and I believe Orbital and Javes can attest that I'm bitching far less the last couple days. :-)
I did that test but under bufferbloat and speed it has a null response. :(

e: also my connection speed varies wildly based on which device I'm using. My personal laptop usually gets around 24-30mbps which isn't surprising considering it's older and running on a lovely standard wifi card. My PS4 is hardwired and can pull connections of anywhere from 6 to 80mbps and it's not predictable at all. My work computer is hardwired and it gets around 100mbps consistently so gently caress if I know which of these speeds I should use for traffic shaping. You'd think the ps4 would get about the same as the work computer since they're both hardwired and I just got the Pro so it should have high speed ethernet.

Guess I can try DMZ'ing or port forwarding
