I don't believe it for a second. Not a single second!

That is, unless he was playing our squad with never-ending swarms and hellfire raining down upon him.

Quick question: Is there a way to see what gun/combo you were killed with?

I see the Kill-Cam, but I can't tell the different guns from each other (can you?).

Man, I could probably tell all the guns apart blindfolded just by the sound.

But....it should tell you what gun it is in the KC by looking at the lower right, right above the ammo counter.

You should believe it, I have died five times in a row, on spawn, a couple of different times. It does happen.

It's never happened to me, so I don't believe it.

Well does that entitle you to a prize or something? Why would he (or myself for that matter), lie about it? I have been spawnkilled countless times, heck, we've discussed it in here and I am pretty sure people have posted You Tube videos of it. It isn't like this is a secret or anything, it does happen and in some matches, there are situations where it can happen repeatedly.

7 times in a row, without even taking a step? Lol, ok. Post up the video or I am not buying it.

People tend to exaggerate frustrating experiences with this game, especially in this thread.

It's actually pretty easy to get video of it, since there's the built-in theater mode.

I'd be interested in seeing that - post up the vid!

1. the lag is off the charts.. i play in one lobby last night bottom 3 for probably 3-4 games, new lobby, top 3 in 4 games.. and it is not the people i was playing against.. in the "good" lobbies i would get kills that i know i shouldn't have gotten (like playing HC, someone shoots me and i still whip around and ADS and kill them!!!) and vice versa, we would have a UAV up, i know they are coming around the corner, i get the drop on them and i shoot, hear my gun go off, get no hit markers (even though they are 10 feet away, i am using cheater scope and crosshairs are red) and they, after realizing they have are being shot at, kill me?? i mean that is a huge swing both ways
2. Revenge spawning, haven't figured out why they did this, but i cannot tell you how many times playing KC i kill someone and BEFORE i can pick up their tags they spawn and kill me, and vice versa... why spawn someone right beside where they just got killed and they know exactly where the guy is that killed them?? i just don't understand this...
so all in all, i like the game, but man it is like Tony Romo, so much potential to be great, but has some major flaws that hold him back...

Exactly. *Pill drop language*

/Pill looks over at the cool kids table (jammy, sahlo, conman, lizard) and wonders how he can get a seat (never have lag in that party..........)

As I said, there are numerous examples online of continuous spawn kills, it is something we've talked about here, and been talked about in many other forums. Regardless, lets give the benefit of the doubt, if he took three steps, does that make it better? More palatable? I will admit, maybe there is some exaggeration in this thread, regarding the games problems, but some people in here also seem to see the game through COD colored glasses, and ignore legitimate problems that people experience in the game. I defend the game when it deserves some defense and I criticize it when I have problems with aspects of it and I think by in large, that is how 95% of owners of the game act as well. Why would someone be an owner of the game if they didn't at least WANT to like the game? We're all people that just want to enjoy and play Call of Duty here, so I don't think people are or would, intentionally come into the thread and lie, or waste their time, making up stuff about the game.

So the consensus is blops2 is the exact same laggy mess as the last two CoDs? Good to know I can continue to ignore my Xbox.

See you in another 11 months when we all kid ourselves into thinking the next one will be different! smile.gif

That's not the question, obviously people do, what my point was is that I believe the guy because he's got no motivation to lie, and, I have had the repeated spawn kills as well.

Lag wise it probably is worse than most or all of them....BUT, the game is still quite good and it isn't always laggy, in fact, more often than not, it plays well. Consistency is the problem, often you'll have a run of games where the lag is gone, or even "with you" and you rule, then, sometimes, it is like no matter what you do, you will lose gunfights, almost like it is predetermined.

Ironically, it wasn't til recently I noticed myself getting spawn-killed a lot more often. I was able to determine it mostly Plaza and Standoff. Well, those maps are a little tighter, so it's difficult for the game to spawn you in a place w/o a high degree of traffic. It doesn't seem to happen on Turbine, etc.

The only map I have been killed right after I spawned is Hijacked. Not sure if it's due to playing only TDM and KC as compared to other game modes?

Yeah but that's sort of like explaining how awesome your wife is-- awesome cook, great mother, dynamite in bed-- when she's not stabbing you...

No. I just really came here to see if I wasn't to finally end my self imposed exile of this series but I see nothing in these pages or on YouTube to entice me back. I think it's about time I stop referring to myself as a CoD fan as the last game I really enjoyed was mw2.

Peace.

Pretty much the same. Hijacked it happens ALL THE TIME, especially at the ends of the boat. It's rare in any other map, and when it does....what's the big deal anyway? So you died again, big whoop. Just press a button and respawn, it's like what, an extra 5 seconds of downtime? If you're completely spawn trapped and it keeps happening you're probably gonna lose anyway. Just stick it out and take your loss or rage quit.

The other night my wife was pissing me off, and then all of a sudden I was ready to throw my controller over every death and random little bit of nonsense like a spawn kill. For a few minutes I felt that same rage that many of you seem to perpetually feel, and if my experience was always like that....yeah, I'd probably have given up on it by now too. When you get to the point where every little thing starts to piss you off you just have to put the controller down and walk away, or throw another game in. Cod has never been about stress relief, it'll only make you even more angry in that case.

Eh, not really. For all the "warts" it is, it still is a fantastic online experience, arguably the best out there right now.

The "big deal" is that nobody has problems with dying, but at least give people a chance. It's not fair for the player to automatically die in spawn, in ANY game. That is just poor design or coding in my opinion.

Due to the relentless complaining from my wife while playing, I looked into every connection and setting.

I discovered that I had her Xbox set for 1080i instead of the Tv's native resolution of 720p. That made a big difference for her.
I also got on my routers forums and found a fantastic QoS page where I set my router up for the two Xbox units.

As long as we do not host we can play together and connections are much better. Playing separate, it has been a night and day difference. Especially for mrs.

Usually in the top two playing separate. Along with the Lizardking class, playing has been much more fun

I think halo 4 would like to have a word about that.

Connection issues are my a wart to me: they're a deal breaker. Cod4 had some wonky connection issues but the game was so fun and fresh it was easy to look past them. Mw2 comes along and I can honestly say that lag was never LESS of an issue than it was in that game. The last two (blops and mw3) games lack that feel of precision and because of it they feel random and less about skill and more about the luck of the draw. Not a good thing for a shooter.

In the end the only way I was buying blops2 is if there was a clear sentiment amongst the community that this games connections were better than the previous two. As that isn't the case I'm not interested.

Let it. Halo to me is too much about jumping and racing to the weapons, I don't consider it in the same league as CoD, but that's me. I'm not trying to convince you, seems like you have your mind made up, but why not at least give BLOPS II a try?
