For the record, I didn't mean the lack of quick scoping. I agree it is a good thing it's gone.

You must be one of the lucky ones as as mine will go an entire day with no issues and the following night will lock up every other game. Also, I don't know what to tell you but I definitely do not hear anything with ninja pro. Which is really annoying when someone with marathon runs up and knifes you in the back.

I just played with the lamest group of players I've ever seen.
They artificially pad their k/d ratio by backing out of games that they aren't doing well in. Was playing a game of domination on nuketown and their team was destroying mine, well he sent me a message and said "ur trash". So I look at his stats and he has a .58 win ratio and a 4.02 K/D ratio.
What's sad is most of his scores were 5-1, 8-2, etc etc. he basically hides in a spot on the map that people don't typically walk near hoping for easy kills.

I'm seeing this more often now for some reason. It's definitely annoying.

I hope they fix the stupid "Waiting for other players" hang time bug that causes you to shut down/reboot your PS3.

I did read online somewhere that logging out of the PSN will kick you out w/o you needing to reboot, but I have yet to try it. While that is a much better solution if true, it is only a bandaid solution to the real problem.

Well I hear footsteps just fine, are you sure they had marathon and not lightweight+ninja? Lightweight makes you run faster, not marathon.

I've seen this a few times and it is annoying. I love when they talk trash though, because I will destroy them the next game.

I hear footsteps just fine too. Sure, it's not like MW2 where you can hear people half way across the map, but you CAN hear them. Turn the volume up or get a headset. Hell, I've never had Ninja Pro and I can still hear them.

lol.... Played against a group of guys with over 3 kdr in Grid Domination. I was like, whoa should be a good challenge for us.... We whooped on these guys and they must have all dashboarded... We all laughed so hard.

A lot of people dashboard to pad stats. It is real sad. I don't care so much about stats as I do points per minute. Trying to hit that 15th Prestige and I took a month off to move so I'm behind. =( Last weekend I went through 1.5 Prestiges though!

I just wish I could find a decent group to play Domination with, so I can get more wins and have communication on my team. I hate playing solo because people either have no mics or are in party chat, that and they are usually terrible.

Screw Ninja pro and put up a motion sensor if you're woried about guys coming in un-noticed to stab you in the back. Ninja Pro is pretty much useless. Hacker pro is easily the best 3rd level perk in the game.

Also, each map has a ton of key points in BLOPS, you must have not played enough to discover them. ie. the top hill in Jungle, powerplant on Grid, top area of launch pad on launch... etc.

I think you can look at K/D along with points per minute, but I think points per minute is actually a better indication of skill. Maybe I think that because my PPM is pretty high at around 250 (300 over the past month or so).

Yeah my ppm sucks, not even 200 on TDM. I just don't get a LOT of kills, but I'm usually 2:1 or 3:1. My friend gets 300 on TDM which is why he is several prestiges higher than me. I don't really like TDM though because of the spawning in this game. I bounce around through game modes, but I should play domination most since I get the most ppm in it. At least I think so, I have to do a couple of ctf matches to make it show up on the leaderboard so I can check it.

I really wish Treyarch would make combat records viewable on the website. I don't understand why it hasn't been done yet.

Motion sensors are a lot of times useless on HC game types though.

I wouldn't know. I don't play hardcore. I tried a few times in MW2, but the matches were full of campers just waiting for people to walk by. So everyone camped, and it was all just a waste of time.

Motion sensor is really nice to have in the regular mode though. More effective than even claymores. Claymore can get you one kill, but the motion sensor makes you aware of several potential kills.

Motion Sensor really depends on your playstyle. I never sit in the same area for more than a couple seconds. I usually just drop a claymore in a high traffic area and move on. Usually nets me 1 free kill.

I think next prestige I'm going tactical insertion only. I generally stick with one equipment due to the high cost at lower levels.

I probably went my first 15 levels without any equipment purchased. I just bought 3 perks, rapid fire for the SMG, and a lethal grenade.

Check it out though.. let's say you flank a group of people on say.. crack. You got a few kills on the way there, and trying to get to the higher kill streak. You put on that motion sensor in the back of enemy territory, and it's money. Especially with ghost pro, and a silencer on. Sometimes it could be a detriment if others on the opposite team have hacker on, but with out hacker most of the time, the motion sensor is left un noticed.


I put a motion sensor up on the popular hill at Jungle once, the enemy team never shot it down. Funny as hell. I was up there, and killed enough people to get to my huey. Went and hid in the back of c to use my huey. After I was done, I saw about 3 red dots on that hill. Threw a semtex up there, and got 3 free kills. I didn't die again for the rest of the match, and the motion sensor was still there and never shot down. lol

I don't worry about kill streaks. I mean I run Counter Spy Plane, Huey, Attack Dogs and I have no problem obtaining the Huey. I end up getting some bad luck after that usually, but I get my dogs enough. And I am always all over the map, out of range of a motion sensor most of the time. I never sneak around, just sprint and AK74u with rapid fire down as many people as I can.

There's another patch going out to PS3 users today:

http://www.callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=313365&sid=a009hsnji5eg41qmj5ml3vtr66

LIVE FIXES

1/25/11 (Patch 1.06)
New Features:
• New contracts added to the rotation.
• Added optional pre-match timer for LAN / System-Link games.

Issues Addressed:
• Fixed freeze associated with larger games.
• Improved reliability of players connections to one another.
• Improved ability to bring parties to the game lobby. Late party joiners would try to connect to previous lobby host and be denied if new joiners trigger a lobby host migration.
• Addressed an issue where the Host encounters and infinite spinning loading circle after a Host migration.
• Fixed a timing specific, long/infinite loading screen when joining games (sometimes giving you “Error - Read error (0x80010713) on file <map name>").
• Fixed a timing-specific freeze when host powered down during host migration.
• Cleaned up the map search filter in the Community section (deleted unused entries).
• Fixed Combat Training’s "USE FRIENDS" option for bots names.
• Fixed issue with split-screen guest profile names being blank, resulting in matches never launching.
• Instead of showing the generic “Player” for offline profiles in LAN, we now display the PS3 profile name.
• Fixed Friends list appearing after viewing a Friends Playercard from the Leaderboards.
• Fixed filter so players can now view Friends on Zombies leadboards.
• Fix timing specific issue where the game can be put into slow motion.
• Addressed "disconnected path" error when using the doors in Radiation after a host migration.
• Fixed stability issues navigating lobbies after client on Split Screen Zombies quits out of a game.
• Addressed issue/exploit when removing Counter Spy Plane effects with the Jammer.
• Fixed a freeze when quickly loading maps one after another in private match.
• Fixed issue where players get primary weapons in Second Chance.
• Fixed “NEW” stamp not disappearing for Custom Slot 9 when highlighting the slot.
• Removed water vision effect when respawning after dying in the acid pool in Radiation.
• Several contract fixes.

Gameplay Tuning:
• Second Chance – players that put an enemy into Second Chance are now credited for a full kill once that enemy dies. If another player kills the enemy while the enemy is in Second Chance, they will get assist credit.
• Adjustments to the PSG1 with attachments.
• AK74U adjustments.
• RCXD adjustments.
• Silenced sniper rifle adjustments.
• Removed hit markers when shooting friendly equipment.

Looks like they are trying out nerfing the AK74U & RCXD and adjusting Second Chance kills on PS3 first. There's no mention of an impending Xbox update.

Also FWIW, they mentioned the update may take a while to propagate.

For PS3 folks who have installed v1.06, you want to see 55.1.2.7 in the top right hand corner. If not, reboot or go to SP then back to MP.

You do that all the time though? I run the ak74 with rapid fire and it's fun as hell, but I can't do that all the time and not on every map. Are you able to pwn on Jungle by running around like that. That setup is crazy effective on Havana and Crack though... I must admit.
