Black Ops 2 Patch and Updates Thread

[CAG CheechDogg]

So last night around 12 midnight I got an update.

I noticed the game played very differently after this update. People are now running around full strike from across the maps and getting 1 shot kills in full strike.

Did Treyarch screw up the game? Since when is a shooter running or on the move more accurate than a shooter in a stationary position?

I had a very strong feeling that Treyarch was going to do something stupid like this when the truth about Ghost came out. How is it that Ghost only works if you are on the move?

They are trying to get rid of tactful gaming and to the noobs this is called "Camping". Seriously man, I hope Treyarch did not do this on purpose.

Have you guys noticed this at all or is it just me?

I've noticed this as well. Although I didn't know what to attribute it to. I thought it had something simply to do with the artificial lag. Have you noticed that having 3 yellow bar connection you can get off on people faster than having 4 green bars? I don't know how the artificial lag works, but I was testing a bit in the non-hardcore game modes to check kill cams. I have 30 mb down internet and when I play in the afternoon/evenings I notice this even more. A fraction of a second difference to compensate for players bad connections. Anyway, in the early mornings when i'm playing with foreigners and have a worse connection, I can get my shots off faster. Is my mind making this shit up??

Actually having a high down is not what helps you out here, it's the upload speed that you need to look out for. The upload speeds are what helps you send your information back and forth , think of it as you uploading your information faster.

I have 25 down and 2 up here as you can see from my test results in my forum sig. I get up in the mid 30s for download every so often because of the extra boost in bandwidth they send us during peak hours.

No your mind is not making shit up lol...also the bigger your tv is the more lag you are going to have not only because the delay in big tvs but also because of how much longer it takes you to span your eyes on a bigger screen.

I have a 60 inch Sharp Aquos and the closer I get to the fucking tv the slower my reaction is.

There is always about 16-38 ms delay in hd tvs because of input lag and you can add another 5-10 ms if you use a wireless controller as well.

Add into that if you have a wireless head set and maybe a wireless router if you have one in your room and that can also cause interference between your controller and the xbox.

So all together we are looking at around 20-70 ms of delay and input lag on top of any lag due to your internet speed.

If you have a game mode on your tv use it! It helps out with the input lag.

I appreciate that response man! I have about the same internet specs as you. ave 30 down and 2-3 up. I had just recently moved my box to my 52 inch hdtv downstairs on wireless internet. Still close to my office but wireless none the less. Looks like i'm going to need to be back wired to my router and on my computer monitor lol. I did notice a pretty good lag time from myself. I was playing like shit yesterday and the day before haha. Combination of tired/big tv maybe... Dunno. Appreciate it though!

Yeah bro, I am thinking about getting the damn cables for the controllers and see how that goes. I am hardwired from the roster to my xbox so that is good, I have some custom settings on my tv now that I got from the internet from other people who own Sharp Aquos like mine and all the settings are pretty similar. After I added those settings to my TV I noticed a good change. Now the input/delay lag is almost not existent.

Are you going to be on in the morning, I watched football all day today and just relaxed. I will be on around 9 am pacific time.

Moved my box back to my office so my computer rig/xbox is again one. Gotta switch back n forth on the monitor to use computer now but oh well... My HCTDM kill/death reflects haha. Was looking into wired controllers. Was browsing forums to see if there was a specific thread from folks discussing what they use far as modded controllers or what not. Couldn't find one so I think i'll throw it out there to see what everyone is sporting.

Yeah I get get off work 7am cali time and am usually on round 8am-1pm your time depending. My little ones are 3 and 1 so if they are awake the wifey usually bitches if I don't help her out in the mornings ha. So unless it's my days off or they are sleeping there MAY be a slight chance that until about 9am your time I may have random interruptions while i'm playing. So by the time your on my kids should be pre-occupied leaving me be to gaming!

[CAG CheechDogg]

Good shit bro, did you notice any less lag now?

And no problem bro, take care of the family first, we are not going anywhere. This is why I think CAG is one of the best clans to be a part of. I understand how it is to have kids and family comes first.

Awesome man! That was one thing I liked about what I saw here. No young immature knuckleheads lol.

I did notice a big difference playing on my small 23" monitor as far as my hand/eye response time and being hardlined to my router/modem there was def a seemingly noticeable imporvement in many instances. Thanks again for that info.

I think my schedule should work out with everyone. By the time everyone on the west coast is on in the morning, i'll have my shit handled at home, and by the time the east coast guys are ready to play at night, it will still be early enough for me to get some time in before work.

Looking forward to my tryouts!

[CAG CheechDogg]

Hahah good shit man. Yeah dude we will have someone online for everyone to always be able to play with other clan members in no time. I usually play the most at nights or early mornings when my Son is at school or asleep.
