Well ... I finally finished Single Player ;) ... Actually was not bad... Also yesterday I managed to finish my prestiges ... hoo haa! Needed to make sure I at least did all that before Ghosts is released :) On a sad note, whats up with the servers lately, some hectic lag spikes going on. Wonder if its any coincidence to MWEB'S new stricter AUP for heavy users on the uncapped? They frekking the shaping / throttling and all of a sudden we getting huge lag spikes on the servers ... mmmm

I think that whole mweb story only kicks in end of the month... at least that's what the letter then sent me said... *********s
 
I'm not hating on the game but it seriously has been broken since day one. I had such high hopes for the game but i continuously get dc'd from matches, most of the time I'm unable to join a friends match, the lag compensation, player animations and camera angles in this game are really really poor, streaks extremely difficult to achieve in TDM as the score is too low, not forgetting the 2 most powerful shotguns in the game, the "Red-Screen guns - the 870 and DSR". I could go and on...I pray that Ghosts provides a fresh title. Really felt robbed after purchasing this game.
 
I dont have DC's in game? as for Kill streaks, achieving around about AGR / Dragonfire is quite attainable. Trick to BO2 is setting up to have the quickest draw possible. Having played MW3 for the first time in ages this weekend... BO2 is pretty dammed good.
 
Fook - try playing BO1. The hit reg is spot on - no tanking no bs. If Ghosts can manage to be anything close to BO1 we will have a serious competitive title next year.
 
BO1 was epic... [DoG] were discussing it last night. Ghosts is built on an updated MW3 engine... MW3 is a swearword :( so I worry about that. Hit reg in BO2 is very problematic, and the stupid spawning is F$#*ed. But I have learned to manage with it. Being in Durbs, I have had to adopt two playing styles; one for Cape Town servers (such BS hit reg for me there) and then the JHB servers which are much better. Beating anyone with a sub 30ms ping is tough (unless they just shyte players). Lag comp is BS, only helps players who have a 90 - 100ms ping. Anyone in the 60-80 range suffer.

EDIT: Yip tanking is hectic! But plays both ways... Strafing while shooting = tank time.

I get what you're saying but I've rarely ever gotten a swarm or dogs in TDM. Most of my class set-ups are for speed, but i still end up getting killed by those 2 powerful shotguns, the DSR and the 870. This game could have been so great but David Vonderhar trolled all of us. Kudo's to you David. I will never buy another Treyarch CoD again. The game doesn't have deathstreaks or support streaks and its still so bad. Overall MW3 is also a pretty poor CoD game but the hit detection and lag comp is better than BO2. I usually get DC's when there's too many Host Migrations or just get kicked out of the blue in-game. And when I'm in a good lobby with a good connection etc, the lobby lasts about 5 to 10 games and then the lobby just randomly closes. Hopefully Ghosts rectifies these issues. If not, it will be Battlefield 4, GTA5 and Batman Arkham Origins until Titanfall gets released!
 
Ok ... WTF has happened with this dumbfark game?!? I swear, my pings are fine in game, but it plays as if I had a 200 ping. Not smooth, over rotation on mouse, jumpy... Something is broke! Is it MWEB or is it the Game? Hell last night me and the boys got so gatvol, we actually quit and hit Black Ops 1 for a couple of hours (buttery smooth and spot on hit reg)....
 
I know that feel bro. I am with Afrihost and get the same. My mouse sense was spot on - now it's like my mouse is moving on a piece of ice. Not sure what they did. But ***** this game anyway. Over it.

I know its not my mouse, cause its fine in other games... besides my Mad Catz has double lasers....

EDIT: Twin Eye laser sensors....

True 6400 DPI 'Twin-Eye' Laser Sensor with 4 Custom Settings
The Mad Catz M.M.O. 7 Gaming Mouse’s new-generation 'twin-eye' laser sensor reads each axis separately and tracks up to a stunning 6 meters per second with pinpoint accuracy. Pro gamers who prefer low sensitivity with high movement speed will always experience correct tracking and precision. Four user-definable DPI settings range from 25 to 6400 and the DPI button lets you easily cycle through your custom settings.

Best freaking mouse I have ever used...

The SoS boys still going? barely see them play anymore. :(

I suppose our circles have changed a bit. If a game isn't worth it competitively then I am just not interested. Just jamming Dota and the odd BO1 game every now and then.
 
Hey guys, I need some help settling an argument with a friend. He claims that there are no CoD Black Ops 2 dedicated servers in SA. I'm searching for proof and the strange thing is I can find many articles of Mweb and gameservers.com announcing that there will be dedicated servers in SA for CoD BO2, but I can't seem to find any, not a single server and I've been searching for a while now. All help will be much appreciated. Thanks. Cheers.

The way I understand it is there are no "hosts" like mw2/3... There is still matchmaking like mw2/3 but mweb/game servers are the hosts.

So there are dedicated hosting servers

It works like this:
Its a Hybrid p2p matchmaking using Dedicated hosted servers. In other words, MWEB hosts the servers at their DAT centers in Johannesburg & Capetown. Users will be peered to the server that suits their ping (I think the default is 130ms). Given that normally from anywhere (ADSL users) in South Africa you should have a sub 70ms ping to any of the two locations, you will be peered to any available slot in either of the two Server locations.

BO2 does not migrate to a "better" host as was done in the past where the user with the best ping was the host for that particular game. The new dedicated host server solution was done mainly so that clients did not actually have the "Server files" on their local PC. This was a way in which they thought would curb hacking.

EDIT: I must really have just way to much time on my hands to know all that shyte :D

No...It's because I haven't played against you in a while.
