EDIT - Thanks to Genuisidiot We've got more info on MOTD. Summary -
The AK47 Will be back!
For the Wonder Weapon, it's a "directional beam". Apparently you can augment it to enhance it.
The Warden is like the Cosmonaut. He may lock certain doors, such as locking a cell. 2-hit down with Juggernog.
And now Best Buy is advertising Uprising on their Website
Xcal has been my favorite since I started. <Thee3nd montage
EDIT: If you want to watch said montage here you go. It's not on youtube anymore.
Quite funny. This guy has done four reviews in total. He gave Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops 2 both 0/10, and gave both Halo Anniversary and Halo 4 10/10.
I'll never understand why people care so much
You can use G2A but I used CJS-Cdkeys
From CJS
> The activation code that you are purchasing is sourced from the EU, and is totally region free. It will function worldwide.
Doubt you will find th game cheaper than on those sites :)
Play combat training on Recruit to get your aim up, that's the biggest thing you'll need from the change.
As someone that changed from console as well, disable your mouse acceleration as soon as possible. Here's some files to do that: http://www.gamefront.com/files/22306419/MarkC_Windows_8+7_MouseFix.zip (or use an alternative method, I changed mine last night using that link, worked perfectly but I understand the risk etc).
Simply put, get accustomed to using a keyboard and mouse. You have a greater ability to turn on people on PC, hand eye co-ordination is more effective (not reliant on the speed/stickiness of the joystick).
Lastly, have fun! It's frustrating as hell learning to play PC when people often have played it for years. Chill out, take breaks and turn your FOV up (60 is fine for console, when you're sat close to the screen on PC a 60 FOV can cause strain and damage to your eyes, play smart!).
I'm not entirely sure how a VPN would solve your issues, but as long as you know what you're doing, you can try asking on /r/VPN. My personal recommendation goes Private Internet Access, though I don't really use it for gaming.
People don't think of Best Buy when it comes to pre-ordering, they normally go to Game Stop for the pointless swag, albeit Best Buy gave us some also. Like I said before, I was driving away while Gamestop's system had people lined up around the block.
> A-10 took this damage in OIF in 2003 and kept flying like a champ...
No doubt the A-10 is a badass flying tank, but did you ever hear of this: F-15 flies, and lands, without a right wing!
Hell yeah the population is still around 10k.
here is a link to G2A for a great price
Scroll down for the $10 option :)
You need to spend $429+ though.
No store is going to give you 0% on a 60$ video game. You can get a regular credit card with 0% for the first year though but it won't arrive by Tuesday.
I bought it here not long ago, I think steam still wants about £40 for it and it has a decent community too, that's the reason I quit MW3 at 500 hours due to all the kids using kick tools
Then use the unlocked one from OP. I'm not going to make any more changes. If you aren't happy, remake it yourself.
I don't think there's a point in going finer than 5 games, it's a gross approximation as it is. I'm assuming a linear relationship between SPM and games played, not taking into consideration gametype or any other factor.
I see you already made some changes, but I updated the calculator to include both. Download here if you'd like to check it out.
I always played on 360, so i'm not sure about player base on the PS3. The only one I had trouble getting into games was MW. MW2 is populated but the population counter no longer works. It just says 0 players online. I easily find games of TDM and Dom. Hell, even that 4v4 playlist I don't have trouble.
MW3 is populated, and i'm not sure if the counter works, but never had trouble getting into TDM or Dom. I want to say the counter does work, and on a weeknight there was over 20k people playing.
BO and BO2 same deal, no issues. BO2 had like 30k people playing on a week night.
The nostalgia is fun also. MW at the bottom of the multiplayer menus has, "Check out @fourzerotwo on Twitter for updates!" The scroll bar for MW2 has, "For the latest on MW3 check out https://www.callofduty.com/mw3 for more info!"
Yes, you can still purchase the Season Pass. I bought it with the game a while back and have no regrets. Here's the official site to buy a Season Pass. https://www.callofduty.com/blackops2/dlc/seasonpass
I have a ping of less than 10 as well.
I've done some research on the subject and this is what I can find so far.
Some people are using Net Limiter (http://www.netlimiter.com/) to cap bandwitch and somehow cause intentional latency. (I'm no expert by any means on terminology but I think I understand the concepts in play here)
Download and Upload speeds aren't important with lag compensation, our ping is. (latency) As I understand it can be caused by any interference in signal.
I think one solution is to intentionally cause interference. I'm wondering if a hundred foot Ethernet cable would be enough to cause some latency. Any thoughts from the "smarter than me" crowd?
Don't pay attention enough to see it happening to me but apparently it happens a lot. Here's a quick random thread I googled on it. http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/669289-call-of-duty-black-ops-ii/65674955
Edit: Btw, post was from March 12th 2013 so I have no clue if any updates were done to try and attempt to fix them since then. Here's the site with the update list and what was done in each update. http://community.callofduty.com/thread/200545668
- Worst hit detection ever
- Lame sounds
- Ridiculous lag compensation
- Assault rifles are a joke, no power at all.
No wonder it has a 4.4 on Metacritic. http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii/user-reviews
Anyway, I don't have to "convince" you, if I don't like the game, It is my point of view if you disagree, I couldn't care less. And even less now to an already sold game.
If you are a BO fan, I am not, and the difference between you and I is that I don't need name calling or insults to make a point.

"You couldn't be older than 12 years old with this kind of response -_-"
"to convince me that you aren't just an idiot? "
According to gamespot.com, BO2 takes place in the future and the past, which may explain the horses.
I'm definitely looking forward to the storyline for the campaign.
To everyone bitching about lag and latency...
>The multiplayer matchmaking system in Call of Duty: Black Ops II will work using latency and ping, Treyarch has confirmed.
>In a series of tweets, game design director David Vondehaar explained that the upcoming entry in the Call of Duty series wouldn't rely on region-based matchmaking, as was the case in previous games.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/26/black-ops-2-multiplayer-matchmaking-explained
That guy who responded is not quite right, yes it is more having to do with your CPU and GPU than RAM. However, if you're using a 64-bit OS (which I'm guessing you are) it probably uses around 1-1.5 gb just to run itself and the game uses probably around 2-3gb while it's running. So, if by "no lag" you mean 60 fps then no, probably not with only 3 gb.
But like I said before, even if you had 16gb of RAM it wouldn't help at all if you have a terrible CPU or GPU. All the components of the computer work together to determine how well something is run it doesn't solve everything to just upgrade 1 thing.
Try this to see how your other components stack up to the released minimums:
I played the first DLC on the 360 Grind and Hydro are good levels but it does impact your ability to find games. I play on PC now and never have problems finding a game (mostly HC S&D). I bought my copy from Here a month agao
Nope, not possible for you to play. What you can do though is go to G2A and purchase a copy from there. They are usually much cheaper than the Steam games and all of the keys that I've bought for games are functional. It will take a few minutes to get a key though after you pay, and you can return the key if it's not functional for a new one.
I'm not talking about the joystick itself. Generally the joysticks won't be a problem unless you rage and snap it. The module itself that the joystick pushes onto wears our and becomes "loose" that part has to be soldered on. http://www.dx.com/p/replacement-3d-analog-joystick-module-for-ps3-ps3-slim-controller-226062#.VRgeqvnF-So
Hey dude. Great to see that it works for you :D If you want to donate, here is a link :)

Really appreciate man, thanks :)
I had the same problem as you a couple years ago. Nat would never stay open. I tried port forwarding, static IP on ps3 set in DMZ without any luck.
I solved my strict and/or moderate NAT types by installing tomato firmware on my Linksys router. My neighbor was having the same issues on his router too, but it wasn't supported by tomato, so we installed dd-wrt firmware on his router and that resolved his problems as well.
These custom firmwares seem to have better UPNP support. I can log into the tomato interface and under port forwarding you can see all the Forwarded port rules that tomato automatically creates for all my applications and devices. Xbox, PS3, Wii, Minecraft server, skype, etc. Not a had single problem since installing tomato on my router.

Are you not listening to me? There's no hosts on PC, it has dedicated servers.

Just because you can't rent or browse them doesn't mean they aren't there.
The underlying problem here is that VPN's almost always make you lag, also if someone hits your VPN, they can then proceed to directly hit you. I'd recommend just checking winstreaks and time of recent games, not much else you can do. If you really want to try VPNs, I've heard good things about VyprVPN.
>The underlying problem here is that VPN's almost always make you lag
Nice, you said a broad general statement that is actually somewhat accurate for once. But VPNs don't make you lag, you just lag because you're adding more steps to your connection.
>also if someone hits your VPN, they can then proceed to directly hit you.
No... the whole point is that they can't. If your VPN has proper DDOS protection, then they will make you lag in the worst case scenario. They also will be unable to determine your personal non-vpn IP address.
>If you really want to try VPNs, I've heard good things about VyprVPN.
That is a shitty overpriced VPN, again, can you please not comment if you do not know what you are saying?
To the OP of the thread: I will pm you shortly with advice for VPNs.
Everything works absolutely fine chrome always connects steam runs fine. Even my Xbox works it can connect to the same server my PC is unable to connect to. Bf3's EA servers work on my box do does the treyarch activision servers. Another thing that could be important is I used to run a VPN service to watch blacked out NHL games on Gamecentre, I deleted it long ago though. CyberGhost VPN
maps is random, game mode is random. can obvious repeat last game which happens on good maps.
you can buy the PC version for $15 http://www.amazon.com/Call-Duty-Black-Ops-II-PC/dp/B007XVTR12/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1430854167&sr=1-1&keywords=black+ops+2+PC The cd case comes with a serial number you activate on steam.
If the subject matter interests you, I'd suggest taking a look at this series:
http://www.amazon.com/Engines-Extinction-Episode-The-Means-ebook/dp/B00QW2SPXY
It's only in book one so far, and book one is really just place setting, but it looks like it's going to be incredibly good.
