we are now celebrating the two week anniversary of the certification process of the patch we waited two months for. of course, we still have awhile to wait if cod2’s six month patch process is any indication. at least they’re not charging us for it.

PRESTIGE IS JUST A WAY OF SAYING “I DON’T NEED ALL THESE PERKS AND GREAT GUNS, I WANT TO GO BACK TO SQUARE ONE AND SEE IF I’M GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY IT WITH STICKS AND STONES!” THEM BADGES ARE YOUR REWARD FOR THE SACRIFICE. ALSO, IT’S NICE GETTING THEM CHALLENGES AGAIN AND AGAIN. LOVE THAT SOUNDBYTE WHEN YOU GET ONE!

i think he is referring to the faulty hit detection. i feel that when they patch the hit detection, we will be seeing a lot more fools go down in one hit. especially with stopping power. i am constantly hitting people three times to get the kill i feel i should have gotten on the first shot. i guess we will have to wait and see what changes.

I’m a lvl55 and that is were I’m staying. I have no interest in prestige mode. Maybe if I didn’t have a job and somewhat of a social life then I’d think about prestige X10. WTF!

You complain that every fucking game lags for you, so your whining about it on CoD4 as well holds no weight. It RARELY lags for nearly everyone I’ve talked to.

And Whatev, there is a challenge for that, it’s called Misery Loves Company, it’s under Humiliation I think.

I’ve got the most of the challenges complete for it, why? It’s plenty accurate, I don’t know why people bitch about it so much. The really, really long distances are kind of deceiving when sniping, but that usually only occurs on a few choice maps. But yea, I use it plenty, although I prefer the M16 or G3.

I’ll tell you where interest is starting to slip– in Buffalo Bills football. But I have vowed to do everything I can to keep the lowly Bills right where they belong– at the bottom of the AFC East and in the city of Buffalo! Fear not, Buffalonians, Roger Goodell is coming to town!

Thats bullshit. The game clearly has serious networking code issues that dampen the experience for everyone who plays online. I can’t recall the last multiplayer match I’ve played that didn’t suffer from inordinate lag and hit detection problems. If the release had been delayed, we would have seen a complete and WORKING version of the game probably before Christmas. The fact that it was released incomplete and needed a patch only delayed things further.

In case you aren’t aware, prestige is an option.

In some respects, I agree with you. The host issue alone is not a big deal. The problem is, when we let (as if we have much choice) them do this with some stuff, they tend to do it with a lot of stuff. Give an inch, take a mile type thing.

And let’s be honest here…..if they had to correct this issue before the game was released (and before they started pulling in the profit) do you not think they’d have it sorted out sooner rather than later? Wouldn’t they get the job done faster if they had to have it done before it was released?

It’s like paying a contractor before the job is complete. They get paid and the work slows down. Progress is slow because the incentive is removed.

The trend is going in the wrong direction, is my point…I guess. I believe the ability to update over Live has created some apathy with respect to fixing problems.

I pay the full price at purchase and I would like a completed (or at least a more complete) product. If they want to fix the game later, then maybe I should finish paying them later.

I know bugs will slip through, but something as obvious as this hosting issue should not, IMO. It wasn’t some little corner aspect of the game…this problem effected every single person who played Live, and it should not have been released with that in mind.

In spite of my desire to play a game ASAP, I would prefer a completed game at release.

The answer is pretty simple really.
Get it out before the holiday rush.

patches can wait, but 4th quarter results can’t!!!

For once, i agree. The issues with COD4 were minor, especially when compared with a game like Assassin’s Creed.

I’m STOKED for the all the new features. Spectating was broken … I can’t tell you how much i wanted to be able to move the camera around in Search and Destroy while I’m waiting for the next round.

I hope when they say the ACOG scopes have been tweaked they mean that the don’t zoom quite so much … it’d be nice to have a scope on the M4 or g36C, but the ACOG is nearly useless on those guns.

All in all, very exciting. It’d be cool to see the playlists get shaken up again. it’d be cool to see some new challenges (I’d love to see one for what I call going Al-Qaeda … or running into an opponent’s lair cooking a grednade and let it go off in you hand for the kill … a regular suicide bomber)

In real life, there’s no “martyrdom” or “last stand” either. It’s all gameplay decisions. If the .50 killed everyone in 1 hit, it would be far too overpowered and ruin the game (see AWP from Counter-Strike).

Well to be honest, I’d rather they released the game in the state it was in back in November than to still be waiting for it today, host issues or not.

I agree that when a very broken game is released then patched months later, it’s not acceptable. But this is just one minor issue that for me isn’t that big of a deal, so I’m grateful.

By: FF

FF — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:36:32 +0000

I can’t help but wonder why the hosting problem wasn’t corrected before the game was released. How dd they not consider it a problem until it went public? Do they not test games anyore? Do they not think about shit like that? WTF?

Or does this explain it?

“This has been a tall order and something that we’ve put a lot of work into which has allowed us to really optimize online play all around not just specifically with Host migration.”

They knew it was a problem before the release but they also knew it would take a long time to correct? Is that the deal?

Sorry…but I just don’t understand how shit like that is acceptable. It’s not like it requires a Mensa membership to know how things will go down. Hire some people with the brains to know about these problems before the release…and also have the balls to fix that crap before you ship it out to collect money from consumers.

This “release it today, fix it tomorrow” bullshit has to stop.
