Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Page 135

Dubs,

Easy to do Raid -- tag the white van at the B flag or a car in the garage area when the enemy has the C Flag and they spawn there.

The other spot I had success with getting car kills was the van to the side of the B Flag on Overflow (right in front of the bank) particularly if the enemy started at A and works to be, someone is always behind that van.

The problem is you only get one crack at it per game.

Same here. Lag seems much worse this weekend than normal. The game cannot even find a hc ctf game despite changing my search preference to "any." I've had to play hc tdm instead.

Yeah I've almost got my diamond LMGs but I feel like once I get them unlocked I'm going to be so tired of playing the game I'm never going to get to use them.

Ya sorry I jumped out and in so much, it booted me from the game? party? then the lag was so weird I was done.

Do it on Nuketown from the window.

I am officially a Prestige Master. I cranked out the last 8-9 levels this weekend. Gotta love Kill Confirmed during Double XP weekends. Even just decent games gets you 15,000+ XP. I had a few in the 24-26K range.

totally agree! The points are insane.

I got 70K+ on headquarters earlier!

Play hard point. I don't think I've ever gotten a single game under 16K xp. 20-23 being the average.

I have a question for any of you who travel a fair amount with your XBox.

I'm leaving for Georgia this weekend for 2 weeks. What's the best way to bring all my gear? Carry on the XBox and put the rest of the stuff in my checked luggage?

It's going to suck playing on an LCD again not to mention the hotel internet, but I would like to try. I guess it'll be two weeks of doing my best Steelhouse impression.

I use a second computer bag that I pack everything in when I drive. One of those large roll along bags. When I fly, I just pack everything in a large roll along computer bag.

Good luck and safe travels!

I travel alot.. atleast once a month. And my advice:

1) Pack all electronics & valuables into your carry-on luggage. The airlines can/will.. lose, damage, destroy & delay your checked bag.

2) Pack the majority of your clothes & shoes into your checked bag. Your checked luggage should include anything you live without for atleast 1 day.

3) Pack any necessary hygiene products, and atleast a clean shirt/underwear/etc in your carry on. Should the airline delay/lose your luggage.. you will atleast have an additional day to recover those items or purchase new ones.


I generally do my best to do carry-on only. Its absolutely amazing what you can fit into a bookbag & quality carry-on suitcase. I stress the word quality as you appreciate the extra pockets, zippers, folding sections, tie down abilities of a well built carry-on suitcase. You'll also appreciate the quality rolling wheels as you lug all this stuff from your home to car to airport to ticket counter to security to gate to baggage claim to cab to hotel to cab to airport to security to gate to baggage claim to parking to car to home to unpack! The Kirkland Signature carry-on I purchased from Costco for $99 allows me to fit a suit, my Xbox, a pair of shoes, pair of pants and enough shirts/underwear/socks for an entire week. It has two flaps that literally "buckle-down" all the main stuff so I have plenty of room on top any extra items and hygiene/liquid products. Here is a pick of the flaps I am talking about:



Here is a link to the $99 suitcase. http://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature%E2%84%A2-21.5%22-Expandable-Upright-Carry-On.product.11760915.html

Also remember anything you cant fit into your carry on, you can still try and fit into your book bag. Many people forget you can bring one carry on bag & one personal item (briefcase, bookbag, large purse, etc). I highly suggest the bookbag as I can generally put my business portfolio, laptop, extra cables, USB thumb drives, adapters & connectors, headphones, spare credit cards, ID, passport, house/car keys, change, etc in my bookbag.. along with additional stuff. That way I can breeze thru the security line without pulling a bunch of shyt out of my pockets. And because the bookbag is on my back while travelling, its as secure as my wallet would be.

+1 Daekwan. I do everything possible to avoid checking bags and cram so much stuff into my backpack and carryon bag that I can easily go a week on just that. As far as toiletries go, I usually only bring a toothbrush and comb and buy the rest wherever I go so I don't have to worry about getting things in the right size bottles in a quart size plastic bag.

You guys are cute!! I am jealous. I have to pack like a woman. I carry extra everything as I have been extended so many times it just becomes necessary. Plus add in fire retardant clothing, hardhat, steel toed metatarsal boots, lock out tag out equipment plus all the other PPE and my baggage is extensive.

I had the same issues all weekend (but seems to be a regular theme for the last few months). The game was unplayable!!! The only time I didn't have issues was on Friday afternoon. Got home from work early and killed it! From the evening on it was unplayable. Jumping all over the place, super lag, 10 seconds left in a game and host migration to connection lost for no match bonus, etc. Sucks for a double XP weekend!!!

---This was the proverbial straw of the weekend. Capture the Flag. You can watch other people playing after a death and my whole team was dropping instantly! I was spawn killed 8 times in a row, feet barely touching the ground on 8 different spots on the map. There was something majorly wrong with the game. As you can see my team, which had numerous experienced players, went for a total of 12 kills compared to the other team which had 135 kills (not to mention another guy dropped out right before I took the picture which had gone 3-17, prestige 6). One guy was 51-0 and got his first death right before my picture. I know there are good players, and there was a clan we were playing against, but come on. I'd unload a full clip into a guys back and he'd turn around and kill me without one bullet leaving his gun. People have said this before (on Activision's site), but I think this game is broken. Never played a game which I love and hate so much. Can't believe my controllers are still intact.

OK, rant over, carry on

And all the cocaine, Moonshine and Cuban cigars

I guess I have been lucky to never see the horrible lag that everyone talks about. I actually got into the game this weekend so I could finally prestige for the first time (yeah, that's how little I play) and had a pretty fun time on HC Kill Confirmed.

Hmmm looks like the same supplies list you need once you are married

Thanks for the great info Daekwan - I had forgot about a carry on in addition to my laptop backpack. Damn, I might even be able to bring my monitor!

I feel you. Just last night my girlfriend was playing in my sons bedroom and I was in the living room on Hijacked. I was killed in our spawn in the rear of the boat by a guy in the balcony. I spawned in the same area but this time was able to kill the guy in the balcony. I stayed put just in front of the pool for about 5-10 seconds and was killed from behind by my girlfriend. After the game she told me she spawned right there and I was standing right in front of her. She even said she almost missed me cause she thought I was on her team. How can it spawn me in an area twice, I never actually leave that area then spawn the enemy right behind me.

Not only that but on Hijacked if I am laying down sighted down on of sides of the boat it will spawn my own team right on top of me or directly in front of my sights. This has gotten me killed sooooo many times cause I am afraid to shoot cause i will kill my teammate and the guy that is shooting at my teammate just happens to hit me in the process. I love playing HC/KC but the spawn issue is really starting to upset me to the point I don't want to play the game and i love this game.

For travelling with or shipping my Xbox 360 for work I bought a
Porta Brace case for $125.

http://www.portabrace.com/products/production-gear/694-pb-2500-medium-hard-cases



Fits my 360 (older model, not slim), the power brick, controllers, spare batteries, and my TB Px5 base station.
I'd keep my PX5s in my carry on for use during the flight with iPad via Bluetooth.

Worth ever cent.
Shipped my Xbox cross country probably 10 times one year, billed back to the client of course,
never had a problem. No breaks, scratches, etc...
Works great as check luggage as well.

FYI, I've never had any luck connecting to xbox live with a hotels internet connection. However, with my Android tethered, I can play xbox live just like at home. Maybe you will have better luck connecting to their connection than i did, but if you don't have a tether option, you may have a tough time getting online.

Its hit or miss for me speed wise. Of course I have been playing MW3 and BLops2 so YMMV

I usually call the number in the room and ask for an X number of days Mac address pass. That is one of the free ways to do it. If they charge, Or just log into the network with whatever device you have (usually a laptop) and then clone the MAC address to the Xbox. Just cant run both devices at the same time.
Obviously if the hotel is busy, things can be slow and the tether is the only playable solution.

Never traveled via airline with an Xbox. What's the drill, do you just pull it out like a laptop and run it through xray? I never did because I thought the TSA people would go nuts over something the size of an Xbox.

I have not done it myself but I was traveling a couple of weeks ago and the TSA agent at security was asking for people to take out laptops and gaming systems.

Yeah my experience is that it sucks, but it's something to pass the time. I tend to have a moderate NAT, and sometimes connectivity issues.

Thanks again for the feedback, everyone.

Double weapon XP starts this Friday. Time to prestige those weapons!

Gotta say I've been having a lot of fun just doing new and sometimes stupid things playing the game.

While I still love putting on my try hard panties and trying to crush the other team, I've found some other enjoyment. As I said before, I really like running the ballistic knives and tomahawk. But last night, I played HC to try to level up my shield and decided to run the crossbow with it and I actually had quite a few laughs and even a couple good games doing it.
