I didn't really notice the ACOG being better, it still shakes and doesn't hit when your aiming at them alot, but maybe thats just the nature of the M16. I did notice, however, that the sniper hit detection has improved. What a concept, bullets actually hitting people when they are in the middle of your reticule.

I think Infinity Ward made some changes to the game that they're not telling us about. I've noticed, like others, that I've been spawned into danger many more times than usual. For example, I was 18 and 3 today in TDM on Pipeline. I ended up 18 and 9 in under a minute, because I kept respawning, and every time I did so, I would die before I could move. Every single time.

I had another match today where, no matter how many times I shot somebody, nobody would die, at all. I came up behind someone, knifed them twice (they were sitting still) and shot them with a full clip of G3 before they ever moved, and they seriously would NOT die. My stabs hit, and every bullet from my G3 hit. Any explanation?

As far as the gameplay goes, I hate it now. I feel it's completely ruined the game. The Acog has definately been improved, and the kill cams are decent now, both of which I like. I haven't noticed any improvement with sniper detection; no, completely opposite in fact.

In closing, the update made certain aspects of the game better, but the pros do NOT outweigh the cons.

Now combat seems to be more long-range oriented, with better accuracy for both the ACOG and the sniper rifles. I was doing pretty well today on Backlot with my M40A3.

See, that's what I don't get. I haven't been lagged out of a single game, but I know that it's purely lag. I just recently upgraded my connection, so it's not coming from me. I love how I'm suffering from other peoples shitty connections.

What excactly is sniper hit detection

also known as "Why death hasnt hit the top 100 yet"

seriously pisses me off, especially once where i made 8 shots right into a guys head with the R700, then he goes from prone to crouch and headshot's me with a single burst from his M16.

RESPAWNING!!

Good God it's pissing me off
EVERY time i respawn, so-one's looking right down their P90 sights straight at me!!

The only good thing about the update to me was the addition to the killcam.

And even the airstrike bombs go through buildings!!

quote Silent Storm

Yeah. M40A3 with ACOG is all I ever use now.

quote cheapshot

update is ok. sniper hit detection is alot better. but something thats still pissing me off is at start of maps when everyone sprints same way and you get pushed and lagged into walls.
