Be Excellent To Each Other

Drunk Jen called the house phone and when you answer it the Internet disconnects, sorry. Need to go drive to Prestwick now.

Had fun tonight. Unlocked a few more cool things, like the crossbow and several Pro perks.

I agree and I think that, for the most part, it slows the pace down a bit and discourages people racing about the map. You can get more use out of the handguns, shottys, and sniper rifles too as they become lethal.

I love ELPRESADOR.

Some of you may have noticed Ramsea online tonight playing this....it's not actually Ramsea, it's our young fella. We can leave the discussion about how bad a parent I am for letting him play codblops online when he's only 8 BUT.......check out this pic I took!!

He's the next Nickachu, he makes me so proud

The man makes a good point.

'Free' Xbox live weekend and double XP next week :

FUCKING BOLLOCKING CUNTWIPES I AM UP NORTH THAT WEEKEND WHY DO YOU TAUNT ME SO?

It'll be lagged to death and unplayable next weekend then...

Perhaps it would be good to fix the lobby before such an event - and last night showed that even although they have put some patches on the lobby is still basically borked

Indeed, I don't know how it can be so difficult to match up people in parties? It's not like they don't have millions of people to choose from...

I'm no sure how, it's p2p innit. There's as much chance of lag as any other time, matchmaking might be [more of] a cunt though.

Past experience of MW2 on free weekends, shows that regardless of being p2p, the lag and general shiteness will be off the scale

Yay lobbies!

If you're unsure about prestiging probably best to do it then when you can just skip through the levels super fast.

Sorry for just leaving last night...I may have been told off again...

Yeah, try to avoid that. Also, don't fuck up a relationship just to play CoD

yeah, there will be plenty of time for CoD once she finds you out.

Heh.

Well tonight was the worst for the lobbies / network that i've ever had.

Spend time in the lobby , if we were lucky enough to get into a game i was in there for a few minutes and kicked (connection is missing or 'you must be signed into Xbox live to play this game' - even though i'm in live and still talking to the others in the party) - once kicked it wouldnt let me rejoin because it said everyone else was in a different mode - rebooting the box got me back in for another 5 minutes.

I do seriously wonder if its people fiddling with things that have broken it today since we saw 'custom' clan tags (different colours) which are unlocked at prestige level 13 but tons of people had them and some of those had not yet prestiged.

Even playing without a party i still struggled to last a whole game - and the games just kept dropping out players - i managed to get to the end of a domination game that started at 6 vs 6 and ended as 2 vs 3 (and it was a close game it wasnt as if people were dropping out because they didnt want to be on the losing side).

I was playing this tonight up at my brother in laws. Had no problems at all with lobbies and that was with three of us connected via the same router on two xboxs. I also had a full connection in every game and it was great, I was winning most firefights where usually I often feel a bit cheated or need to use double the amount of bullets.
I did notice the coloured clan tag thing you're talking about Zaphod, but i was lucky not to experience lobby problems.
I also played my first game of Nazi Zombies and loved it, even though I kept getting frights
I wish I had better internets now, I've seen how the other half live and I like it!

It could well just be coincidence that they showed up last night and things fell apart or it could just have been me

Oh look people are also hacking to get funny characters in their tags (like MW2)

A long thread of whinging about the coloured tags here :

http://www.callofduty.com/board/viewtop ... pn3nieut27

God damn cheaters.

I also hope that everyone is reporting people with swasticas on their playercards. If you view playercard you can go to report and click report emblem. I don't mind all the other things but swasticas is a bit far.

*hastily deletes 'Hitler bumming a rabbit' emblem*

Ahh - it seems the coloured ones are a bug rather than a hack



BTW just me or does this guy sound like every american on XBL :-)

I did that the other night and then wondered if I was being a nutter for getting so annoyed about it. Glad it's not just me.

There's nothing wrong with the penis' and stuff. Most of them are funny. But not offensive.

Do you actually find idiot children recreating swastikas offensive? I mean, I'm not condoning it or anything, but it's all a bit of childish harmless fun really, innit? Obviously I draw the line at "paki" clan tags and the young Americans who are obsessed with the N word.

FeeX

Personally I do yes. I wouldn't say swastikas are childish harmless fun. But that might be due to my polish heritage more than anything.

Depends on the swastika. All the ones I've seen have obviously been Nazi ones, though. And I'm not offended, really. Its just so childish and stupid that I can't not report them.

Riles might get in trouble for his emblem. Though I think it's quite reasonable really - he's just warning people.

I've seen many other ones similar to Riles' already. can't see it being too much of a problem.

I stayed up late last night playing this with my North American friends, and oddly had far fewer problems with lobbies and connections than when playing with you lot. In fact, we didn't have any issues at all, despite having three Americans and two Brits.

I've had no lobby issues playing on my own since they released the patch.

Hardcore S&D was so little fun that I went to do painting instead. Bobby doesn't get to host any more.

Apart from the painting.

I just finished the single player, and I have to say that I loved it.

I thought the storyline was done well, and...

BIG SPOILERS!

Re: Coloured clan tags; LOL! Is no h4xx... you can buyz teh culorz in playercard/clantag menus n00bz

You're apparently not meant to unlock coloured clan tags until a high prestige, although i think some people have found out how to do early without hacking.

Yeah, they're a 13th Prestige unlock.

Or a dumb bug to use (i havent done it - and for all i know they will be banning people but to switch the tag to any colour

Go to multiplayer
Select xbox live
Select player match
select your tag on the right hand side
Press B
Go to local / splitscreen
Press up
Press A
you can then edit the tag to have any colour

Its obviously just something they've missed so will be patched and i really dont care if my tag is white - although tonight in a game of domination i turned round a corner and got wiped out with a *SENTRY GUN* and was so hyped to select my ghost class and get back there to kill it before anyone else did and i now have Ghost pro (so no name above me now!)

Yeah, I got Ghost Pro yesterday with the same stroke of luck. Ran round a corner just as Bobby shouted there was a gun there, deliberately ran in front of it to kill myself and luckily respawned with my ghost class just round the corner.

That Unlock is fundamentally broken due to no-one using sentry guns. Probably because in MW2 there was no chance of getting any kills once cold blooded pro was unlocked for most people.

OK, so In a perfect world Treyach (like it's brother Bizarre Creations) wouldn't be making big budget cookie cutter games like COD and PGR for Activision but would be free to make the wonderful small arcade games they are so good at.

In W@W, Nazi Zombies was Treyarchs' Geometry Wars. Small but perfectly honed, spiced with risk reward and wonderful. In the map packs and the new version in CODBLOPS, the formula has been complicated out of the nessecity to create a reason for a sequel, but that first map is still just as good as today.

And they've done it again for CODBLOPs, and I'm not talking about Zombies (or the top down shooter, though I haven't played it yet), I'm talking about ONE IN THE CHAMBER.

It is spectacular. 6 players with one shot kill pistols and knives. They start with a single bullet and get an extra one for each kill. You get three lives. Make them count.

It's hidden under the wage map options and can be played for 10 codpoints a round. (If you make the top three you get 30, 18 or 12 codpoints.)

I've been playing all day whilst ill'd up to my yingyang and as long as you aren't playing against 5 campers it's one of the greatest little games I've played in a long long while.

LAVERECOMMENDS.

I played my first go of Nazi Zombies at the weekend and loved it. Up for some tonight if there are two others wanting to join? Just for a few rounds, then moving into mp.
Not played One in the Chamber yet Lave but I loved the go I had of the one where the weapons cycle every 45 seconds. Which surprised me because I usually don't like free for all (cos I suck) but I finished first!

In for zombies

one in the chamberis excellent fun. And gets really tense if you're close to winning or losing etc... especially with 1000 money on the line.

Hmm, you know those silly cars, I don't like them. But not because they kill me lots, but because EVERY FUCKER IN THE WORLD has them instead of the much more useful Spy Plane. Also:makes Ghost pretty pointless. (I'm currently rocking Spy Plane, Counter Spy Plane and Napalm Strike, for the record.)

They're my Killstreaks too!

Spy Plane, Napalm and annoyance chopper here.

napalm/care package, mortar,choppa here.

I find that saving the spy plane, getting the counter spy plane and then unleashing both almost simultaneously can be pretty devastating to the other team.
