Wish they would patch the lobby-filling mechanism. Getting really sick of 3v3's and 6v3's

I really enjoy the game but my two biggest gripes are the lobbies not repopulating when people back out, and the horrendously shitty spawns in TDM.

The spawns in TDM are laughably bad. I spawned in to a spot where an opponents targeting reticule was aimed -_-

Wow. I've had entire enemy teams spawn around me, but that's really bad.

My single biggest gripe (by far) with the game right now. I'm not sure why they're even working on the little balancing issues right now when it can still take 20+ mins to get your party into a game and playing, or when you get into a game having to quit because it's 1 vs. 6.

Yeah, this same thing has happened to me a lot in Halo games as well. Once the lobby is fully populated, the teams are locked and can't be changed. Over the weekend I got put in a 4v1 game (and I was the 1). I actually ended up winning because half the other players quit and the other half started killing each other when I was dominating them. But it was still frustrating.

I don't know why they can't fix this. At least in situations where someone leaves very early. Like, if there is no score yet, rearrange the teams to be as even as possible.

BTW, I love the Commando and alot of the other automatic assault rifles but I ran out of ammo with one this weekend and was forced to pick up and use an enemy's M14...it's probably my favorite weapon in the game. Perfectly accurate, great sights, high damage, quick follow up shots, and with the grip you can put lots of accurate shots downrange quickly. I made a class with it and had my two best TDM games ever back to back (37 and 38 kills). And considering it's unlocked at what, lvl 8 or so, I won't mind prestiging at all now.

Agreed. I think everything else with the game is fine except for getting into the game itself.

In other news. Had a dominating tdm match on Havana last night, 39-2. I was playing by myself with a bunch of randoms and we were trapped on the fountain side. My teammates of course knew no better and kept getting murdered over there. Mean while, since we were trapped, I just camped the side opposite of the fountain and kept murdering the rushers. Thankfully I got to my huey and was able to end the streaks of the fountain campers on the other team. We ended up winning by 2 kills or so.

I've never tried the M14. I'll have to give it a shot.

I fell victim to some peer pressure and prestiged yesterday. I'm actually doing quite well with the MP5K. I am not looking forward to unlocking the Pro perks again. I had 7 of them unlocked.

I've also stopped using the silencer and noticed that I do just as well without it.

Pepare yourself because it plays VERY differently from the burst/full auto weapons. But I find that even in close-quarters whoever aims first typically wins, 2 hits anywhere up close is a kill with the M14. Medium-long range is where it shines, I was actually getting longshot bonuses where previously there'd no way I'd get a kill.

Good gaming with you last night.

The MP5 is pretty good I mainly used it until I finally unlocked the AK74. Now that I've had a few games to try the AK out, I'm liking it better so far.

I just started using a silencer to see how I like it. Still undecided but I'll probably keep it for now.

have you tried the FAL? its the same but less recoil from what I can tell. I have been trying it out.. Still getting used to it.

 

[SunnyD]

The spawns in TDM are laughably bad. I spawned in to a spot where an opponents targeting reticule was aimed -_-

I have to admit, this is by far my biggest issue with the game as well. It irritates me to no end to spawn, take 3 steps and get shot in the back... even worse when it happens on multiple consecutive spawns.

Bad Company 2 at least was somewhat fair by designating spawn areas on opposing sides of the map.

 

[Kabob]

I've considered it but I don't think I'll like it as much. The FAL has slightly less vertical recoil, but while the M14's is straight up the FAL's is up and left. Add to the M14 a grip reducing recoil even further, fantastic sights (I hated the FAL's in MW2 but haven't tried 'em in BO yet), better damage modifiers, faster reloading times, and quicker off-run sighting and it seems to be the better weapon. I will give the FAL a whirl though before I declare the M14 the clear winner.

The silencer improved my game when I first started by keeping me off radar, but now that I know the maps and where enemies tend to be I don't need it as much.

Try out the Galil, I liked that gun when I played and I think you said you just unlocked it. I'll be on again tonight.

i will give the m14 a try and give my feedback on that gun.

i use red dot so i can comment on the sights.


but even with the dmg mod.. they are both 2 shot min 3 shot max. i dont thnk that makes a difference then
for the fal i run SOH/red dot ... I think SOH pro would help the ADS be better?

if i ran the m14 it seems the grip is required to be accurate.. so i would have to give up SOH for warlord.. im not sure that is a better trade off? ill have to try it with grip and maybe w/o grip.. hopefully i can be successfull without grip to i can keep SOH.. headshots dont payoff with these weapons

 

[Schfifty Five]

I didn't know that once you unlock pro perks, you still had to buy them!

No wonder my marathon sprint still stopped and my aim down sight (sleight of hand) was not fast.

I guess I'm not used to having to buy nearly every single thing in the game.

I don't think you have to run a grip to use the M14, without it still has barely more vertical recoil than the FAL and no side to side recoil. I need to take it off and see how it handles. And I'll tell you, the sights are so good you don't need a dot.

SoH Pro helps ADS for all weapons, it's not "that" big of a deal though. It is the perk I use on most of my classes, unless I'm running with Warlord.

Yeah, Pro perks are $3000.

not really a fan on irons.. something about red dot i play so much better.

See, I find the M14's iron's atrocious. The sight itself is fine, but the rest of the weapon REALLY obscures things.

I can't see either image (at least not from my phone).

I use irons on pretty much every gun though so maybe these just work for me.

 

[dougp]

Fixed.

FAL:

M14:

 

[Kev]

I've gotten really sick of the commando lately. I think I'm going to stick with the AK47. I seem to aim much better with the ak

 

[Kabob]

OK, so I tried the FAL, it is AWFUL! Recoil-wise there is absolutely no comparison between the two, the M14 wins hands down. But try it for yourself and compare.

 

[fbrdphreak]

I seem to have on & off games with the M14 and FAL. Some days I'm in tune with the semi-auto, others it's a no go.

Sorry I couldn't join you guys earlier. I was starting my last match before getting some work done.
