I can never be bothered with all that staying on the same place and shooting people that come to me. Bores me senseless. Hence my huge 0.98 K: D!

It's better than the last 3 though. I'm enjoying it as long as I stick to certain modes. The league play, while all randoms, seems far more balanced with people playing it properly on the whole. THough I can see league play being annoying as it's entirely based on team wins. Managed a 24-7 k:d on one match (which is nearly unheard of for me as I usually float just under 1.00!) , got the highest score in the game but my team lost and I lost league points. I assumed it would be based on individual performance!

It has to be based on team performance to force randoms to play as a team. That's the awesome thing about a playlist like the one COD appears to have, you can go in as a random and know that you'll get a semi organised game of objective COD even with complete randoms. It's the beauty of a ranking system, it gives people an incentive to try and WIN and not just pad their K/Ds. I cannot believe that COD now has this whilst Halo doesn't.

Was a good laugh with a group of us last night, we took some beatings and some of them were lag, but it feels solid enough as a go to shooter until someone brings out something better.

Yeh, the lag free hardcore games I really enjoyed. Really tense creeping about the level. 

A few lads from work (delboy, OldmanTaylor) have it, so we could even get some 3 v 3 private games maybe.

You guys have got to pair up Engineer with the Black Hat. The number of times I hacked a Betty to then see the previous owner come to see what's going on and get blitzed by his own gear will never get boring.
I think it even says to them Your equipment is gone, so they come back to take a look. It also drops UAV's after a time delay.

You're ALIVE!!

Really am enjoying the MP when it's ticking along ok. Some decent games tonight.

Fucking HAAAATE the Yemen map. It reminds me an awful lot of the shite MW3 maps. Hijacked isn't too bad unless you're against an entire team of snipers, which happened the other night. I suppose I should do the SP but I just haven't been bothered...

Yo.

I'm online just now if anyone fancies a few games.

Cheers

Every kill on cod is the same so I don't really see much attraction in watching videos of them. The highlight function sounds amazing though, COD copies and then surpasses Halo in yet another area.

Imagine if BFBC2 had it. You'd spend more time capturing insane jeep flips into buildings than actually playing the game.

Enjoyed the CTF last night with Iain, Rayman and Kneecap. Not gelling with S&D so, not a fan of no respawn game types. Started campaign afterwards on Vet, s'alright I spose. Having not played Blops the first I'm obviously missing some back 'story'.

I played the campaign in BlOps 1. Didn't understand a bloody word of it.

I've not turned it on in a while so people might already know all this but here's the short version of the patch update.

Patch Source
21 Nov 2012 – Xbox 360 Game Update Notes

Made infrastructure and performance improvements to Live Streaming.
Made streaming performance improvements to video playback in CODTV.
Addressed an issue where flight range parameters for airborne vehicles could be deleted in the middle of a match due to a network interruption. This fix resolves the following symptoms reported by the community: Escort drone flying under the map and inability to call in the Dragonfire.
FHJ-18 weapon level is now increased by destroying Scorestreak vehicles and aircraft.
Care Package/AGR canister exploit has been addressed.
Patched a small map exploit in Aftermath.
Addressed a rare situation that would cause the Emblem Editor menu to overlap other menus.
Balance pass on spawn influencers to improve cases causing non-optimal spawning under certain conditions.
Improved performance for emblem uploads to prevent an occasional hang. If there is an error connecting to servers during an upload, you will now be able to re-try your save.
Emblems and Clan tags will now appear correctly on the Assault Shield when stowed on the back.
Addressed all reported UI error code messages.
Elite Clan Friends list no longer actively sorts players when their status is updated. The player list will refresh after closing and re-opening the tab.
Improved a number of emblem icons in the Emblem Editor.
Junkyard IV reward added to Calling Cards.

Looks like the spawning has at least taken a step forward. No news about a much needed smg nerf.
I'm having an hour on it now and tomorrow I'll be on from 1500 onwards.

So this BlOps 3 beta is excellent fun eh?
