Ever since the patch....

[Gellard]

i know there are is a lot of talk about this but it's not about the kill cams etc in this post.

ever since this patch came out, i have gone terrible at this game. ok i know this sounds really weird but to be honest i just can put my finger on what the hell it is! i am not the only one as my mate who lives in the house with me thinks the same...my kill/death is never anywhere near what it used to be and i just cant seem to drop people!it's not even like im a bad player, im a top prestige guy so it just feels random

anyone else found the same thing happening?

Could it be the improved sniping and acog features? I am just guessing, because we don't have the patch on the ps3 yet. It is interesting, though, and I hope its not because of the patch.

[iNfaMous]

true bc now everyone is sniping and if you werent an already good sniper then there might be a prob...ive loved nsniping eve when it was bad so im really good with it now, and the acog is much better so its makin the people around you better...

i usually always play the same so this patch didnt affect me =]

[Hunter125]

He's right. The quality of gameplay has gone downhill after IW released the patch, and I think it might have something to do with the host migration feature.

Before the patch came out, I'd experience laggy gameplay maybe once or twice a night, but now it seems like practically every game I get connected to.

I don't know what the deal is, but people still manage to get away with some pretty lag-tastic moves; especially the snipers that don't even have their crosshairs anywhere close to you when they kill you.

rather interesting.

[Gellard]

yeah i know, its really strange but it just doesnt feel like the same game....but i can put my finger on whats different at the same time! i've ended up switching to hardcore mode cos i've been unloading a whole clip into people on normal games and they will just drop me with a couple of shots.

[NumB004]

idk..i guess i just dont see wat was wrong with the patch... =?

[Stealthboy50]

Can anybody tell me if the ACOG had improved dramaticly. I am gonna try it out with ps3 gets patch. Is it like better than RDS now?

[Anubis80]

well the ps3 patch aint out yet. so i couldnt tell ya if the acog is any better. i hope that this problem is just temp for you guys and we dont get it on the ps3 either.

[Hunter125]

To be honest, I can't tell the difference from the old ACOG compared to the new one. I've tried using it on the M4, AK-47, and the M249 SAW and it's pretty much the same. Unless IW tells us what exactly they fixed about the ACOG, I've gotta say that red dot sights still have the edge.

thats the talk ive heard alot of people are going either way. theyre gettin whooped due to the better accuracy, or doin better for that very same fact. i used acog on dragunov the other night (overkill with saw as secondary) and as n00b as it was, it worked really great. must be it right there.

I don't seem to be doing as well either but I did get a personal high kill streak the other day. I personally don't think the patch has anything to do with my decreased performance. I just think the competition is getting bigger and better. The new kill cams are pretty sweet too. Air strike to your head FTW!

[AC Dice Mann]

I see no improvement with the new patch, the ACOG is the same and there really is no difference with the snipers. The spawn points now suck, you spawn upsidedown looking at the sky or right in front of your enemy, I was killed 5 times in about 4 seconds playing TDM. IW said there were new spawn points, 9 to be exact, I would have liked to have seen some spots open up on the maps, like being able to go into some of the houses or rooms that are blocked off...

[Gellard]

i know exactly what you mean about the soawning issue, it's defo messed up...the amount of times i have been spawned looking at the sky and therefore dont have a clue where i am is ridiculous! maybe it's just their way of disorientating the veteraned players of the game who just mash the respawn button and run straight back out into the battle...

as for the snipers, they have definatly changed, i would not snipe before but have now become quite addicted to it...it's loads of fun just lining someone up for a headshot and actually hittting them now :)

as for the ACOG, they are terrible scopes anyway IMO and are not needed over a red dot.
