Black Ops B!tching Thread

[jmowen]

That's right. MW2 had one, so I'm bringing one to Black Ops. Discuss anything that pisses you off in this game whether it's online or offline.

I'll start:

ONLINE:

• Constant spawn changes in Domination or Team Deathmatch especially Ground War. Not sure if it's common in other games as these two game modes are typically what I play. Tons of my Godly streaks have been snapped because someone spawned a mere two feet away from me.
• Constant disconnections. Games end so soon because of this. 4 out of 5 games end with the message 'Unable to Connect to Host'.
• Lag. Constant lag. I blame some on my end but it seems to be happening to everyone.

OFFLINE:

• Freezes after you start the game, earn a trophy, or a friend signs off/on.
• Glitches. I've had several trophies glitch on me.

List yours. If you see anyone starting a thread bitching about a particular thing, invite them to this conversation.

I hate how the Veteran Trophies are glitched and I got to play them again. .

There is an exactly similar stickied thread in the 360 site, so probably this should too.

Anyways, fuck you veteran trophies. I will give all three levels a try today for "Its your funeral" trophy. If that doesn't do it, I will rip this game into pieces while video-taping it in HD.

Do it regardless.

And I haven't had a problem really. YAY!

And that HD part was in reference to the lame-ass 480p quality the game allows through its site.

Glitched vet trophies, fucking stupid infinite enemy respawns

Horrendous spawning system in Nuketown. Oh god, a guy can't even stare at the rainbow in peace.

Yeah I've got some complaints but overall I'm loving this game.

Online:

• The RC XD is overpowered. It should be put up to a 5 killstreak or it should be easier to take out. It should be either made larger so it's easier to shoot or slower so that it's easier to aim on. It seems like I die by this killstreak at least 3-4 per times a match.
  
• Lag. Yeah it isn't just you jm, I experience too. I hardly ever disconnect from games and the match almost never cuts out in the middle of it but about 40% of the time I'm at a 3 bar connection. Modern Warfare 2 may have had a host migration every couple minutes when people would leave but at least I would always be on a 4 bar connection in that game. I'm hoping they can make their servers bigger or something to reduce the amount of lag.
  
• Perk balancing. I still think that the perks need a bit more balancing. Ghost is used A LOT now that stopping power is gone and considering that the only other perk that you would use as your blue perk in this game is scavenger it forces a lot of people to use it.
  
• The economy system. I love the idea of the economy system but really nothing has changed. Great I can buy attachments and special grenades whenever I want but that's about it. You still unlock guns when you get to a certain level and then once you unlock them you still need to buy them. All of the weapons (besides for the classified ones) should be available from the start to make it a true economy system. It's the first time it's in the series though so I give them credit for trying it because it's certainly a step in the right direction.
  
  Offline:
  
  
• Too much action. I'm all in favor of the big set piece moments but really Treyarch? The entire campaign just stays at 11 on the intensity scale and never lets up. I can only watch a helicopter get destroyed or bridges fall so many times before I start to lose interest in it.
  
• Glitches. My game has frozen a couple of times while going for trophies. Every time I unlocked a trophy my game would lock up for a couple seconds and I was always cautious that the game could freeze on me.

EDIT: I've never had a trophy glitch for this game so I can't comment on that. I finished the game on veteran and I received all the trophies I should have when I should have.

Online-
Lots of lag for me, and a lot of connection interuppted errors.
I always seem to get spawned right in front of enemies or just a few meters from where I last died.
God Damn RC-XD
Hit detection can be a bit off.

Offline-
Frame rate goes down in the explosion sequences. One particular part made the game look like a slideshow.
Trophy glitches, only had one not pop up for me but replaying the first two levels made it unlock.
Friend and message notification make it freeze.
Quite a large trophy delay after you do what's required.

Zombies, I hate zombies!! Couldn't be bothered with them in W@W, and now you need to play to get trophies! Not only that, but 2 of them rely on having a team mate which is something else I can't stand.

I platted W@W and was proud of that one cos Vet was nigh on impossible, but this one, I couldn't care less if I platted it or not cos of the damn zombies.

If it's not done by 24th Nov, then it won't be done at all.

Just to add, in single player...

Infinite spawning enemies sucks
Friendly AI are still useless
- They don't move up with you til you reach a point, so it's like advancing alone half the time.
- They take all available cover leaving you nothing.
- They get in your line of sight so you can't fire, just in time for an enemy to take your head off.
