I (iNth) am on the 1. Just played my first night last night with Donkey. Didn't play BLOPS2 and damn I suck.

Sik and Matt, regardless of how much this game sucks you know it's good times with buds!

Everyone mount up on the 1.

I really sucks that I can't use the microphone on my headset

12/3/2013 9:57:40 PM

My turtlebeach PX21 headset works with my PS4, mic and everything

12/3/2013 10:02:03 PM

quiet you

12/3/2013 10:17:53 PM

Does anyone here have a scuf controller? I just watched a review on this, and I always wondered how some people drop shot so fast, and shot semi- automatics so fast. I am wowed by what people will pay for to win.

12/4/2013 10:14:18 PM

You can dropshot by changing your button layout to Tactical. That swaps the Crouch/Prone from B button to Right Toggle Stick. Knifing goes to B.

Thus Panic Knifing becomes Panic Dropshot.

I run this not for the dropshot but because I crouch/prone way more often than I have the opportunity to knife. This keeps my thumb on the stick more often.

12/5/2013 8:31:30 AM

^ ditto

12/5/2013 10:16:19 AM

I already know about the tactical set up, and btw dropping on me rarely works, I ALWAYS look for it. And if you watch really good players play they really never drop shot, its really a noob thing.

12/5/2013 10:34:54 AM

i love it when people dropshot, because it almost always means i headshot them.

12/5/2013 11:21:01 AM

Drop-shotting is the stupidest shit, I hate it because it is so connection-dependent.

In a lag-free game its a free headshot for me if the player I start shooting goes prone. If it's a laggy game (99% of Ghosts games) my screen doesn't tell me the player went prone until I'm already dead.

Also modded controllers are useless for all Cods post WaW... all the semi-autos are rate limited by default, which pisses me off because I have an absurd trigger finger that got me tons of "mod" complaints back in the day. Honestly I liked scrubs trying to use mods... its not like it aimed for them, plus it was a welcome change to be able to pick up weapons off bodies that wasn't an MP40.

12/5/2013 12:06:46 PM

I miss the G3.

12/5/2013 12:10:19 PM

I miss the M1A1 Carbine and box mag. Shoot fast as balls.

G3 was rate limited but not to the extent it was useless... semi autos black ops-ghosts are all shit.

12/5/2013 2:18:49 PM

^ The marksmen class has a few that you can pop off pretty fast.

12/5/2013 5:49:52 PM

I miss the G11

12/5/2013 5:52:07 PM

Quote :

"G3 was rate limited"

I didn't think they did that until a month or so before MW2 came out.

There were tons of modded controllers on COD4.

12/5/2013 7:25:50 PM

I miss the ACR

SCAR was also a beast, though slow firing

12/5/2013 7:53:34 PM

Removal of the ACR was another reason this game went to gamestop. I can't think of one gun in ghost that was actually dependable.

12/5/2013 8:29:55 PM

^what was your issue with the Remington R5? With a foregrip it is pretty damn solid even at long range. Not the most damaging, but then again neither was the ACR.

12/6/2013 1:16:33 PM

Clip size. And wasting a attachment to fix it. And then I rage traded the game

12/6/2013 1:28:29 PM

Well, you effed up then. You let a game pwn you and you are a human with a brain lol

12/6/2013 1:30:22 PM

The R5 and sc2010 are close to the ACR but neither delivers imo. The clip size on the R5 is pretty pitiful.

12/6/2013 1:35:49 PM

My biggest issue with this game is lag. Is there lag comp in this one? I always am dead before I can ever begin to ADS...this is when I run into someone and we see each other simultaneously.

I didn't play BLOPS2 so I don't know how it was there.

I feel like they fixed it gradually in MW3, and about 2 months in it was definitely playable.

12/6/2013 1:40:24 PM

I haven't had ammo issues with the R5 so far. I think it has a 24 round clip? It takes fewer rounds to take someone down than I remember the ACR did, so it's kind of a wash IMO.

But then again, I'm somewhat of a compulsive reloader, so that's likely masking the issue.

12/6/2013 1:45:35 PM

^^ host comp was the biggest reason i quit playing BLOPS2. i noticed issues with it in Ghosts when i rented it from redbox a week or so ago... in fact, the last game i played i actually started to get mad, decided to quit, and lo and behold it went into a host migration when i did (i.e. i was host, and getting screwed... again). earlier i thought i was just getting old/tired when i was dying before i saw people, and wanted to give the game the benefit of the doubt.

honestly, i'm hoping it's a non-issue on XB1 so maybe i can play a new FPS again. hopped on MW3 with matt a few days ago and it was enjoyable in comparison even with horrible teammates.

12/6/2013 2:03:32 PM

Well I'm on XB1...

12/6/2013 2:22:11 PM

in that case.


balls.

12/6/2013 3:09:54 PM

Im no lag expert but it seems that the lag would come from the quality of your connection to the X1 servers. How would there be lag comp if no one is hosting?

Correct me if I am wrong.

12/6/2013 10:09:22 PM

You are making the assumption that Ghost has true dedicated servers. Ghost has a hybrid setup, some games you may be on the dedicated servers, others you are getting hosed by lag comp with the listen servers. Activision is as cheap a company as it comes. All the sales of COD games and you cant invest in servers? or create a game thats equal or better than the previous. Stupid company

12/6/2013 10:39:36 PM

Ghosts was not engineered for Xbone. I would assume Titanfall, Halo 5, and any CODs to come would take advantage of servers...but Ghosts I doubt it.

It's kind of telling there is no connection meter for the player to view.

12/8/2013 11:29:03 AM

I thought all Xbox One Ghost games had dedicated servers, that's not true?

Regardless, I have experienced fewer lag issues so far with Ghosts on Xbox One than I have with any other COD

12/8/2013 12:55:31 PM

Nope not true. It depends on what you would have the best connection to. Welcome to Call of Duty next gen.

12/8/2013 1:48:22 PM

aka "we have servers so we can say we do, but they aren't very good"

12/8/2013 5:10:09 PM

Are you guys really have lag issues on Xbox One? I haven't had a single problem so far.

12/8/2013 5:39:09 PM

Yes.

It's not lighting fast (thanks TWC), but I get 15-20 down at my house.

12/8/2013 7:20:06 PM

Just torrent when you play. The worse your connection the better it will behave. Or buy bf4

12/9/2013 1:35:48 PM

I've played on Wolf Village 80 down and 50 up, and residential TWC 10 down 1 up, honestly for COD not a big difference, its all about ping.

Having a good internet isn't even an advantage for COD, they penalize the host, they have lag compensation... the fact they removed ping bars tells you all you need to know.

12/9/2013 2:43:40 PM

Anybody got a PS3 copy for sale?

12/15/2013 1:21:42 PM

akimbo magnums + acogs ftw

12/15/2013 5:37:32 PM

I too have no idea what I'm doing...

I almost broke my controller completing it...but the emblem is the greatest thing ever. I don't think I'll ever change it.

Also playing ffa running akimbo magnums made me a better player I think (I'm still garbage). The game seemed so much easier when I went back to an AR.

12/16/2013 8:16:21 AM

what emblem

12/16/2013 9:05:08 AM

is that the "clueless" one with the dog wearing sunglasses and a tie?

12/16/2013 9:15:58 AM

I created a clan "TheWhiteWarriors" on Xbone. I think I need to invite people to it.


However, I just got battlefield 4 and I may spend a lot of time playing that instead. I haven't had any issues with it and it is crazy better than CoD

12/16/2013 10:21:13 AM

mind blown had no idea there was an operations system to unlock badges and emblems.... DOH'

12/16/2013 10:27:36 AM

^^ how is it better?

12/16/2013 10:19:41 PM

More "Xbox Record That!" moments, destruction, huge buildings utilize/jump off of, vehicles, 32 vs 32, and the size of the maps.

Where as CoD is more of an arcade game that rewards individual skill and twitchy fingers (which I don't seem to have any more), BF is strategic and team based. You can just do so many diff things, the learning curve is much steeper than CoD,though.

12/17/2013 11:38:02 AM

I really don't feel like CoD rewards individual skill. there are so many "systems" that a person can exploit that make even the best players play shitty.

12/17/2013 6:39:03 PM

Need some tips. I havent played this series since mw3 over a year ago (ghosts2 looked shitty so i took a year off) but i never used to be this horrible at this game. On mw3 i had a 1.5-1.6 kdr rolling with just smgs etc. my style was completely run and gun.

Forward to this game which i bought for ps4. I cannot string together kill streaks for shit as my run and gun days seem to be over because of the fucking ease of sniping with these maps. Im debating on selling the game because my idea of fun isnt being perched up on a ledge for 10mins at a time looking through a sniper scope. My kdr is like .7 in this game. Granted i play videogames about 10% of what i played 2 years ago but sucking this much ass cant be because of that

12/17/2013 7:33:47 PM

^That's what was happening to me also. Two tips:

1. Play squads wargame. My k/d has gone from 0.5 to 3 with that.

2. At least until you're more familiar with maps or are working with teammates to cover you, find an area and lock it down/patrol. This works best with the CTF type modes.

Honestly, I probably already would have traded it for BF4, but it doesn't have local multiplayer, while Ghosts does. None of my friends have either system. It's my first time buying a console since original Xbox, so no friends on Live either. It would be nice if they let you search for friends via Facebook.

12/21/2013 7:43:41 PM

One of my buddies told me there was an update recently and it seemed like the spawn system got better. Can anyone confirm that?
