Synaptics weird hit box, is it a real thing? I feel like it is and it makes it all the more annoying.
The moshpit playlist is also still broken, it runs frontline and kill confirmed even if you vote for another game mode. At least that's been my experience. This is in the DLC playlist.

The hitbox is the same but the model we see is skinnier so it should mess with our brains In the competitive tournament before the ban in CWL rules, 7 out of the top 10 kd players had the synaptic specialist so there's some merit to the idea

Bleh, forced to play this trash this week for those keys to get to 400. At 250. Got a 30 bonus for the login, that normal? I've only been getting five whenever I get keys. We'll see if an epic gun makes it better. Doubt it. Just found out that you actually get keys in zombies, so I might give that a try. Don't even know what to do on that shit.

Did anyone else notice that the leaderboards were messed with again? Maybe it's just me, but I didn't see the option anymore to sort your settings. Adjust the leaderboards to see how one has done over the past week, etc..
If this was removed, why?

Yes noticed that last night. I assume there was some bug or issue with them.
I really just want the emblem editor, so I can make my "Coming Soon" emblem.

Yes noticed that last night. I assume there was some bug or issue with them. I really just want the emblem editor, so I can make my "Coming Soon" emblem. LOL Nice one. It's been what? Four months now of 'coming soon' showing up in the game? I'm guessing they deleted the sort options because someone figured out how to use that, to calculate how many people were playing the game. Activision and the developers are deathly afraid of the actual real numbers coming out. This game is close to death in my opinion. I have 145 'friends' on my list, most all of which are very heavily active CoD players from the past. Right now, I maybe see 3 to 4 of them online when I sign in (and those are new friends I added). I think I have exactly THREE past friends from prior years that play this game. That's it. Three. I still sign on, maybe twice a week. Maybe three if an invite comes in. That's another gripe I should probably throw out there. Why no solo/mercenary play lists? This has been in prior games. Why was this removed too? This is part of more wide spread issue with CoD...which is the game's inability to grow up and evolve into something better. At it's core, the game is STILL the same shiitfest of game modes. Most people playing TDM and Dom. And playing Dom solo is just well....same as before. Fun if you are in a party thrashing people. Rage inducing after a few games if you are solo (and actually playing the game correctly). so yeah, CoD still hasn't evolved. Same old game with same old pencil necked F&^@#$# running around with zero caps trying to get kills, so they can brag about a dated 'KD ratio', coupled with no skill new playing bums who sit in corners watching a flag waiting to get one kill a game with a sniper rifle. It truly is mind boggling, how the game developers ....after ten plus years....still are stuck in the same above developing mindset. Why not evolve? Get away from the above crap? I could maybe understand before, don't mess with success, the game was selling 20 to 30 million units a year. But now? The game has tanked. Freefallen into a sales abyss. Why not try to adjust or tinker with HOW the game defines success? Are the developers still scared to alter the silly KD ratio, for fear of chasing away the few players left?

The game mode tinkering they are doing this year is annoying. They remove and add game modes week to week, and sometimes they disappear entirely for no reason. Mosh pit is gone, for some reason. Demolition, normally a core game mode, is now a special once in a while game mode. CTF disappeared for weeks and is now stuck in "competitive" purgatory. When you have hundreds of thousands of people playing, these issues are not as apparent, but when you have a smaller base, yeah it's a problem. I think they know that and that is why they are basically shuffling game modes in and out. Plus the mind-boggling insistence on ATVI to insist, year after year, on making some users open ports on their routers for port forwarding when the tech is there to just make your game's connection plug and play for NAT purposes. Having a huge swath of the playerbase suffer under moderate or strict NATs can't help connection or party up issues. (Mousey or someone who knows net stuff feel free to comment here.)
But it will never change and we should never expect it to because it still rakes in the dough. Even without being the top seller, it still makes money hand over fist for ATVI. Plus, talented developers leave because it is a sweat shop and ATVI is a cutthroat penny pinching publisher. With that mixture we are all doomed to get the same stuff churned out year after year, again and again. It is FPS Madden now, basically.

Good point with the game modes. I can't understand it either.
Regarding low numbers. I signed on and went into Domination the other day. Got dumped into a lobby where there was a party of five, and a bunch of randoms. I backed out. Fvck that stuff. Waited about ten seconds, resigned back in again and got dumped right into the same lobby. Left again. Went and played a game of TDM. A bit later, signed back into Domination and boom....game in progress against the same part of five. I finished the game and then signed off. Lost all interest in playing. You can't win.
I have only seen 'moderate' on my settings for this game since day one. I can't get it to switch over.

You may also be suffering from the split of the player base that always follows a DLC release. I assume you don't have the DLC?

The swap of game modes is a good idea in my opinion, to keep things fresh and to bring back good modes and to cycle out failed ones. Was a needed practice back a few years ago. They are swapping them way too fast from what it seems right now though. A weekend for a featured game mode? The hell is that? Do at least two weeks and bring them back next month or two.
Who cares really about objective games. Parties vs one good guy stuck with retards who've never held a controller in their life. TDM is a chore too. I've realized that each game is scripted on who wins in the first minute. One team at 15, the other at maybe half. The former team wins 99% of the time. How the hell do you not improve team balancing when working on a game for a decade?

How the hell do you not improve team balancing when working on a game for a decade? Well, that was kind of my prior point. While the CoD games have gotten shinier and prettier each year . . . they haven't really changed anything. Well, setting aside the shit they copied from Destiny (Specialist classes and exo jumping), and the loot/lottery wheel schemes to get into little boys pants..... for the most part, nothing has changed with the game modes and HOW a win is defined. Same old shiit. Insert whatever game mode you like [ Dom, KC, etc...], game starts, everyone plays to boost their KD, then brag about the KD afterwards. Same shiit. Do these douchebag developers even understand how players think? I might be behaving generously there, as that assumes they even care. Most likely they don't. But still, at some point, try to change things up? I would say the only thing they have added in the past half dozen years, is like IW's annoying trick of keeping the team breakdown hidden, so one can't back out if your team looks bad. The game shuffles people around, pre-game in the lobby, so you can't see whose on your team until to late. Again though, this is dumb, because it assumes people care about winning (backing out, but you get a loss). People don't care. Very few if any care. I don't even care anymore, one of the most hard core 'win at all costs' people who played the game. I back out as soon as the breeze blows these days. Fvck it. If I have an hour to play, not going to waste 1/4 of that time on a bad lobby.

I'm back on MW3 and ghosts. I like specialist and support because I can play more aggressive. IW is missing that and a riot shield. Those 3 things would make me love the game. Assault kill streaks pigeonhole me into 1 boring playstyle.

Ha, very funny. I wish though. Worst part was that I could have avoided it. But nope, had to be retarded and paid for it. I have another account, but losing 20 prestiges and all guns (especially with the shotgun situation) kinda kills the vibe. Be nice if they ported MW2/MW3 up on a new server.

I feel like they read a joke comment somewhere and thought "wait what if we actually did that!"
Also it's a very obvious ploy to make people try and buy more loot crates to get gestures.
