Black Ops 3

[bigdnlaca]

Yep. This is basically what works the AIM assist the best way possible. If you do it this way the game will basically auto aim your shots into the chest/head region.


I have been playing this game a TON. I took advantage of as much Double XP as possible this last weekend and already I can't wait until the next weekend that they do this.

I've been on it so much in my free time that I'm already 3rd prestige and I'm more than halfway to 4th prestige. I have almost more time in this game, already, then I personally had in Ghosts and Advanced Warfare. I had less than a day of playing time in AW. I've smashed that time, by a long way already with Black Ops 3.

Yeah this is a fun game. That robot game needs to go from Ground War and bring back Kill Confirmed to GW. This is a game imo where scorestreaks matter. In the past, cheap scorestreaks were OP. I am trying to deal with the shotgun. It is horrible but I feel great when I get a kill.

Perhaps you're the individual who constantly shoots me dead 8 to 10 times a game. Arrrrgggghhh, I come for your head!

lol. Well I'll be on the look out for the mad man coming for my head then.

Nope. I only have a 360 so can't play BO3 or Halo5.

Oh well......

Time for an upgrade bro

cable2300 on Xbox One: I play Domination, Kill Confirmed and Deathmatch only....I know I need to branch out to others,

Yeah, probably, but lots of other more important stuff I need to spend on right now. Maybe I will treat myself for Xmas.

LOL....

Hey you could always go back to stripping....Just Kidding...I totally understand, I just traded up this summer.

LOL....

Black Friday has some pretty good deals at Walmart and Gamestop on Xbox Ones. I just thought I'd throw that out there for you.



I'm going to remember to pull this thread up on my phone, when I'm at home, and add folks so I can play with those who've left their names on here.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Okay so I keep forgetting to get my dang phone out and add you folks. I'm still going to though. I always need new friends to play games with.


So over the weekend I put a lot more time into the Xbox version of this game. To this point I've been a ton of time in on the PS4 and I had really play very little on the Xbox. It said I had about 14 hours in on the multiplayers on Xbox but the reality is that 12 hours of that was my kid, who plays on my account on Xbox.


So what I think I've found about the game, having played it quite a bit now on both systems.

1) It seems like the hit detection is actually quite a bit better on Xbox.
2) It seems as though I don't get nearly as many laggy lobbies as PS4. Does Xbox have their servers for the game more regionalized? It seemed like the game just ran way more smoothly.
3) The graphics are better on PS4. They're brighter, more clear, more clean. But the Graphics are still very good on Xbox.
4) The competition doesn't seem as good on Xbox.


Now #4 leads me to a question though. I know that there is supposedly skill based match making in this game. If that's the case I'm wondering how much of a difference that makes in this game.


On my PS4 I'm the only one who plays on my multiplayer account. My son can play zombies on PS4, but not my multiplayer. I have a 1.3, almost 1.4, K/D. Now I realize this is very average but I'm just a very average player. Across all CoD's I average between 1.3-1.7 K/D. Interestingly enough my highest K/D ever of 1.7 was on MW3 which was my least favorite game in the series, prior to AW coming out last year.

Anyway...On my Xbox when I started playing this weekend my K/D was a .5 as my son has played 12 of the 14 hours on the console. This weekend, during the time I put in, I raised if from the .5 to a .9


Now the reason I ask how important is the skill based match making is this...I haven't really found that the lobbies have gotten any tougher on the Xbox despite my K/D steadily climbing. Meanwhile on PS4 it seems like almost every lobby is way more competitive. I dominate on Xbox WAY more often then I do on PS4. Is there a magic number in which these skill bases kick in? Is it really that important and that's why all these youtube, people, and other fools, are intentionally killing their own K/D's so they can get into easier lobbies?

Just some observations and questions I had from playing this weekend.


One last thing about all that I found that I rage a heck of a lot less on Xbox than I have on PS4.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

i dont ever have any lagging anything on my ps4.

It's common to rage when you're getting your *** kicked which would explain it for you.

I rage all the time because I'm getting old and my reaction time and accuracy stinks now. Of course it doesn't help that I don't play enough to really raise my skill. Well, it is getting better, but not anywhere near as good as I was when I played in my 20s.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

i dont ever have any lagging anything on my ps4.

I wish I could say that. I get some really bad laggy lobbies.

In the middle of next year though, after I get some debt paid off between now and then, I'm investing in a Netduma gaming router. It's supposed to a great quality gaming router that helps a lot with that issue.

I'm on a wired router connection with my router settings all setup correctly so that NAT shows open.

On a 150mb down connection...oftentimes I am the host lol

What the heck is a laggy lobbie? Is that like a Hobby Lobby?

I've been thinking about picking up a PS4 for sports games and the like. Not FPS. They suck on console.

I'm tired of those folks saying 1.3 is bad or average. The main thing is that that K/D means you killed more than died. However, the problem is that those with the high K/D are the one running the scorestreaks that supports the player only. There are people that like me that has a 1.3 and I run scorestreaks that help my team like UAV, CUAV and that blackbird version a UAV. Also, remember that not all guns are treated equal. If you are a 1.3 with a sniper and camping, you are bad. If you are a 1.3 with a shotgun, that is pretty impressive. If you are a 1.3 and you just capping flags, hardpoints, collecting tags etc. to me that is a good player. If you are a 1.3 k/d with a 1.3 w/l ratio playing solo, that is a good player.

What I feel is the most important stat is score per minute. It tells you if you are just camping for kills or if you are getting down and being productive. Otherwise, K/D should not include scorestreaks. It's simple that all you need is 6 or 7 kills to get a hellstorm, lightning strike, and whatever else you want to run

OK now that I got that out the way,

I don't know about the competition but I have seen the tryhards totally demolish PS4 players but I think the opposition maybe blind. Also, I thought I read that if there is a party, the matchmaking will try and include a game with another party. That probably is the reason why you claim you see more competition on the PS4. More people on PS4 = more parties = more competition.

Regarding the K/D ratio again. I think this COD really handicap many players in the beginning because the scorestreaks that help your k/d isn't available. That is probably the reason why your k/d gone up from a very low one from the start.

All excellent points. I appreciate the thoughts on this.

I don't have a great SPM. I'll admit that. Now when we play objective based games I'm definitely one of those guys capping and defending those objectives. I'm always trying to be in the hill on domination or hard point.

Probably my favorite new thing about this game is the new game type Safeguard. I love that game mode.

But with that brings me to your point about parties. That does make a whole lot of sense. Last night, for example, Xbox seemed like it was a lot different but I was playing with a friend in a party. So that makes sense that in a party it just throws you into lobbies with more parties. Good point and one I'll check out on both versions over the coming days to see how true that is.

If that's the case wow does that screw you. lol.

Unless you're in a party with a really great group of players you're going to be screwed by that set up for sure.

I tested this out a bit on both systems last night and I do believe the party thing is a very real deal. Playing solo, on both systems, I found much different lobbies. What I noticed, from the leader boards, is that on both systems, despite very different K/D ratios by system, I was put into lobbies with pretty much the same type of K/D's.

They were lobbies with a mix of people from .6 to 1.8 K/Ds. So that part did not actually change system to system. It was really the same.

But I did find that I ran into less parties on both. So I know that must be a very real thing that you mentioned up there.


But I also found, playing them both the same night, that I do believe I was right about hit detection and lag. I do feel like the game lags less, and the hit detection is better, and the game simply runs more smoothly on the Xbox 1. It just ran, and felt better, on there then it did on PS4 despite the lobbies being basically the same in terms of ability and such on each system.

I don't know if that's due to the Xbox version not needing to work as hard on the graphics, which aren't quite as good but are still pretty damn good, or what but it definitely feels like the game just runs better.


I also had another thing I want to test out going forward and wondering. Does it matter who the host of your party is? For example.


The other night I was playing with my buddy on Xbox one. When he was the host of our party we kept going into really bad lobbies, we were getting killed, and we couldn't do squat really.

We switched to me hosting the party and when I searched for the lobbies we immediately went into several games in a row in which everything worked great, and the two of use dominated the other team. Soundly for several games.

So does that really make a difference? I'm not sure. I need to test that out more on each system as well.

Very interesting testing. I was about to trade this in for Battlefront since it is $39.00 at Gamestop (price match @ BB) and also around Jan or Feb, Xbox will come out with a digital sale including COD w Season Pass for a low price (normally it is after the first dlc). Don't want to lose that much value of the hard copy. But I may give it another try. Sometimes the game is so fun and then the next time, I just get worn out. Maybe I need to go back to the shotgun and have fun with it again. I was working on the Weevil and that gun is horrible.

Safeguard is horrible but maybe it is because I play alot of Ground War. Safeguard on Ground War is horrible so maybe having it on 6vs6 would make it better.because there would be more room to operate and the people would actually work together.

Some nights, like last night, its very glitchy on Xbone and find it difficult to focus. Other nights, its smooth sailing.
