Anyone who has been in the military knows that prone is probably the position of choice and is very realistic as it reduces your exposure to enemey weapon targeting drastically. A game without prone is very unrealistic. This isnt a simulator anyway, play ArmA if you want that, (very boring IMHO) - this is essentially an arcade. People need to chill out. Black Ops is by far the best COD release thus far, the sound quality is amazing (much more realistic), the graphics are as good as or better than MW/MW2 and the MP version rocks. They just need to fix the lag issue and the broken spawning algorythm and a couple of glitches. I am sure they will. I bet we will look back and laugh at the complete bitches complaining about such trivial things.

I agree. Although I find the sounds in MOH better than Black Ops, but it's not a big deal. I'd like to agree with you on the last part, but we all know they will be complaining about another game when that time comes.

Apparently there issues with the Rcon tool as well. We can't access our server settings because Rcon keeps giving us an error whenever we try to connect to our server.


Our server is up and running floating out there somewhere, but we can't change the name of it or any settings....

Anyone server admins having issues with the Rcon tool?

You guys realize that if COD or another game didn't include jumping, prone, and knifing, and even made it realistic, people would bitch. And that's absolutely fine. Because if you guys wanted realism, then you should only be able to die once and that's it. COD is fine the way it is, always has been, and always will.

I need to jump in order to get to different places on the map. I need to go prone to be able to remain as unseen as possible when shooting. I also enjoy a good knife kill, very fulfilling.

I am glad though that not every game implements the ability to go prone. Since I recall some people complaining that you couldn't do so in MOH. If you don't like it, either do it to them or don't play the game.

I don't think the argument is about the whole prone part, but the diving (I think there is a exploit called dolphin diving or something? can someone enlighten me on that?) or at least how fast you get to the ground. Well to me that is, I dunno what other peoples problems with prone is.
Also I don't get why people get angry at campers (besides spawn campers) I mean, if I am in the same spot every time just shoot me haha.

In one of the multiplayer videos that was released a few months ago, they showed a guy clearly diving to the side. So I doubt it's an exploit.

I dunno what you mean by the side, but in previous games where you dive to the ground really quick and can jump, you can jump and dive mid air or something and you are hard to hit. Not sure if you can in this, but I think that is one of the people's problems with diving/prone.

The video showed the guy playing, shooting at a guy in front of him, and in the background a guy dived out of the way, to the side.

And I've never seen diving before in COD4 or MW2, only in Black Ops. And my only problem with going prone is being just going prone before shooting. They don't jump. They just go prone.

CoD isn't and shoudn't claim to be realistic (which it has in the past). Like bigfella says, if you want more realism, go play ArmA or AA or something along those lines. However, there are some unrealistic things, such as hopping/dolphin diving (will explain to goose/g4m3r in the quotes below) that shouldn't be in there

Apparently there issues with the Rcon tool as well. We can't access our server settings because Rcon keeps giving us an error whenever we try to connect to our server.

So far as I know, admining our server hasn't been an issue, however I'm not sure if the settings were changed server side by admin, or through rcon by admin. I'll ask this evening when everyone is on and get back to you, I can't find out because, although I'm an admin and can kick for stuff like disallowed weapons/abuse without being in game, I can't get the actual tool because I don't own the game :rolleyes:

Dolphin diving is jumping, then going prone straight away. It is similar to flopping, which is just going prone straight away, without the jump. The whole unrealism comes in when you can flop, carry on shooting, and immediately gain composure and carry on shooting perfectly accurately, or even maintain a perfect view down your sights. I think prone should be implemented, however you shouldn't be able to shoot as you go down, and you shouldn't immediately be able to shoot perfectly. Prone should be there to quickly get in cover/prone in long grass when ghillied/take a better deffensive stance with more accuracy and better cover. It shouldn't be there to be able to flop out of the way mid combat.

As for jumping, jumping should be allowed to get from 1 place to another, I agree, but shouldn't be allowed in combat. There are 2 ways to stop this, either make it so you can only jump in certain areas which allow you to get to other places (which will also prevent glitching), or to make it, like a hell of a lot of mods have, so you can't shoot whilst leaving the ground, in mid air, or when landing. This doesn't include falling, only jumping

Just because it has always had it doesn't mean it should always keep it. If it kept everything CoD2, or any CoD release had, then they may as well just bring out expansion packs instead of new games.

It is also a discussion thread, there is no right or wrong answer, only opinion. By all means voice yours, but in the process don't say things that could cause hostility please

If you have the PC version, you have to have it through steam, like you did with MW2. Steam automatically updates all of your games, so it will have already downloaded, or will be downloading your patch now

Well im not sure if its already Downloaded/Updated mine on Steam,But i just played a couple of rounds and nothing seems to have changed....still lagging like mad.

Has anyone else noticed like a delay between the time you press the botton on your mouse and when the gun actually shoots in this game?...maybe its just the lag but it seems delayed and usualy ends up getting you killed.

damn it :(

oh, and you may find this quite fun:

when in the chair at the main title screen:

if you are on PS3/Xbox, repeatedly press the triggers
if on PC, repeatedly tap space bar
if on the Wii, flail your wiimote/nunchuck around

Stand behind your chair, facing the monitors/people in the room

do a 180 degrees turn, so you are now facing the opposite direction. You can activate the terminal infront of you. You can find a list of commands to use in it here:

http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency_Data_system

personal favourite is "doa" (without the speach marks). Once you have entered it, I think it is on a timed base before it starts, or maybe holding down space bar on PC (I may have got lucky holding it down). Idk about consoles though, just button bash if it doesn't start after a bit
