Call of Duty: Black Ops II *Releases this week for PS3, PS Vita, 360*

[bevo]

This game is absolutely way different than all other CoD's. I understand a lot of people know CoD for being the type of game that is the same, but this one is just 🤬 amazing! Multiplayer has some lag, but what do you expect, just came out In my opinion, it's Treyarch, they will be fixing Multiplayer lag issues and server trouble. Just wait, my estimate is probably this weekend before double xP <--- So pumped for that!! But yeah, patch should be coming soon.

Other than some lag, Multiplayer is great, Zombies is really cool because they added in a lot of stats this time around. Anyway, if anyone wants to play B02 add me up on PS3 (harrison1476)

It's still the same COD to me only different maps. I don't know if I would call it amazing. Maybe mediocre would fit better for me. The one thing though COD does way better then anyone else is it gets you in games really quick with your friends and gets you playing. I don't know why no other shooter can get the matchmaking and party systems right. Halo is the only one that comes close. BF3, socom, and ghost recon all did a horrible job with that. I would have had several friends converted to BF3 if the party system would have worked right and we could have actually gotten onto the same teams together.

Why do people like the zombies so much?

 

[Daniel]

Do the campaign. It's worth it for the ending cutscene alone. Let's just say it includes Avenged Sevenfold with Sgt. Woods on the drums!

 

[m8h3r]

Do you get Nuketown Zombies if you buy the DLC Season pass and when would you get it. I want to play it so bad and I got confused buying my game. I thought Nuketown 2025 was the Zombies. I was going to buy hardened too until I read the 2025 on the normal edition.

 

[Daniel]

Sometime in December I think.

The nuke town 2025 map is included in the preordered version of it, if you want the nuke town zombies map you have to buy either the veteran or hardened edition. Unless they release it as a DLC, but word round the campfire is that they won't.

Looks like the connection issues are limited to the PS3 version:

Meanwhile, PS3 owners who are online have reported severe connectivity issues. On this subject Treyarch design director David Vonderhaar tweeted:

&#8220;We are indeed up and running, but we are also aware not everyone can connect. We are investigating something with our partners at Sony.&#8221;

Then: &#8220;We are currently testing backend matchmaking changes that we think can help with this. I don't have a time table, or I would tell you.&#8221;

Activision Support added: &#8220;We are aware of connectivity issues that some players are facing in Black Ops 2 on PlayStation 3. We are working on resolution, thank you.&#8221;

Shocked!

Not really, I am really very used to COD not delivering on the PS3. Not that I don't like the game I do. It's jut that we all know we are second in line.

Good question, has always perplexed me too, ok zombies was cool in world at war but I still think that is mostly because the rest of world at war was so terrible. IMO

Which is why I always get COD titles for the 360.

It's not. We have been having issues on the 360 too. It won't let you connect to Xbox live within the game sometimes. There were 2 of us last night that couldn't play for about an hour because of it. The first night all of us kept getting an error message when we would try and log on but we all eventually got it to work after a few hours.

 

[Spagetti69]

I would expect jitters in the first week of release.


Been getting my arse handed to me on Halo. That works flawlessly for me. ( Hard wired ).
3 minutes from Xbox boot up to in game lobby. No issues at all. ( So far ).

A lot of my friends list are on BO2. I haven't heard any issues there end.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Why do people like the zombies so much?

Because its the ONLY co-op in mode the game.
I really wish Treyarch would make another 4 player co-op campaign like they had in WAW. That was such an epic game.
With that said, how is everyone enjoying the zombies in this game? How is the 4 vs 4 mode? How is the zombie campaign mode or whatever its called?

Does anyone know what all of the league divisons are? I've been looking and can't find a list of them anywhere. I was also wondering how you actually get onto a team for the team portion of the league. Do you get locked in with certain players on an actual team or what? There doesn't seem to be much info out there explaining it.

I'm in the same predicament, I was on it for a couple of hours last night and it put me in a "gold" league. I don't know what the significance of that is, but I do understand that when the actual season starts, it's an all out race for the #1 slot in your sub-division.

I started at #186 and made my way up to #80. This is only pre-season, so I don't know what the actual season will be like.

Also you can enter as a team, you just have to get 4 of your mates in a lobby then enter a game.

Seems pretty cool.

How will it decide what division to put you in though as a team? I was hoping it would let you make a clan and actaully invite people to that clan and rank your clan as a whole, instead of just making you own clan tag.
In the individual I got in gold too. I'm assuming that's probably middle of the line. Probably a platinum and diamond division also like starcraft or something. It seems like any game I play I'm middle of the road as far as division playing goes.

 

[Daniel]

I think it goes Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Platinum. I'm in gold too.

Someone said something about moving from platinum to masters in another forum. I really can't believe there isn't a list of the divisions and expanation of how ti works on the official COD site.

 

[DiersZee1]

By chance any one know if the Network for Multiplayers is back up and running? Only thing I could get online was League. The games were ok if you could get in. But, I liked the fact you could use all the perks and attachments.

Call of Duty Elite....

https://elite.callofduty.com/leagues/about?newleagues=true

....has a bit that covers it.


The basic info is:

What are Leagues?

League play allows you to compete in monthly skill-based ladders. Compete solo or as a team to see how you match up with Call of Duty players around the world.

Divisions

Your performance in a season&#8217;s placement matches will determine which division you or your team is placed in. There are a total of six divisions, with each division resetting at the start of each season. Each division is broken up into subdivisions of 250 players. These players in your subdivision will be whom you directly compete with.

Seasons

League Play is broken up into seasons, each lasting approximately thirty calendar days. At the end of a season, there will be a brief window of time before the next season starts. This period of time is known as preseason. During preseason, we are finalizing results of the previous season as well adjusting the game rules and map rotations as necessary. You can play and practice during preseason, but these games won\&#8217;t count for league ladders. The current season and how much time remains in it will be displayed to you in-game.

Ladder Points

Your ranking is determined by Ladder Points that can be earned or lost by playing games. Your team will start at zero rank points at the season start. Wins will earn you points, were as loses will lose you points. The points earned are determined by the predicted outcome of the game.

It was only for a few people (I was still able to go online), but my friend had the same problem and he's able to go online now. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to 👍

 

[m8h3r]

Sometime in December I think.

The nuke town 2025 map is included in the preordered version of it, if you want the nuke town zombies map you have to buy either the veteran or hardened edition. Unless they release it as a DLC, but word round the campfire is that they won't.

I heard like Daniel with it possibly being December if you have the season pass.

Anyone having trouble buying ammo from the MP5K on Town. I seem to be unable to buy it unless I stand there and mash square.

I dont think it's quite a fun as Black Ops, but it's still good. Some maps feel really complicated, others don't fell done.

I didn't have release night or that day (11/13/2012) But, I did have connection problems yesterday. So far, so good today though 👍

What level are you guys at? I'm at LvL 25 now

Yes, were you playing Solo Or Multiplayer? It has a bit of a lag to buy ammo on that weapon for me. Today it has been going better, but yesterday was unbearable 🤬

Well I had a rather annoying glitch occur on the map Carrier where I couldn't deploy the Dragonfire I had gotten from a care package. Everything else I got from care packages were ok to use but that just kept saying 'Cannot deploy here'.

Dude, I had the same problem! Are you on PS3? I literally was so mad when that happened! Report it, Treyarch actually cares unlike hater-producers IW.

League play is kinda fun. Went 8-3 in my second game (S&D).

Yeah, the league play is pretty much private match. Everything unlocked, no xP earned, but great fun!
