MP1st - Reports are beginning to surface of a massive ban wave that appears to be primarily targeting PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 users playing Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Ghosts.
I think this will be the last COD for me (yes, yes I know it took me that long), I got bored of this game so fast that it felt like a slap in my face; but on the other hand I'm really starting to fall in love with bf4 (when it's working), and it's starting to make me contemplate on buying the premium :S.
Your entitled to your opinion. I actually like Ghosts and I can't go back to Black Ops 2 anymore. Maybe it just has to do with the Dualshock 4 and better resolution/graphics?
@the_infected. I totally agree with you! Unfortunately I missed out on cod 4, so my fav cod so far has been black ops 1 (I used to run riot with the famas). If they brought it back to that and mw2 standards, then I will defo be willing to purchase it again and have a blast online.
This IS the worst COD. I was hoping treyarch is next, as I like their style of multiplayer and I love zombies. But I guess they are getting one more extra year to work on the game, which is good, also gives me time to enjoy Battlefield 4 longer for my multiplayer FPS fix.
@Aggregate0072 How would you make the game any different ? Specially that it sells the most. They put an effort in their campaigns,extremely high production value.
Indubitably, and it is sad to see that they still haven't fixed cheating. Interesting that IW continues to ban player for hacking/ cheating but when I blogged about it, I had plenty of people claiming that I was in error. See their comments here:
That said, I think it is time that IW find a way to prevent cheating. I know it can't be fool proof since Amazon does sell modded controllers just for cheating.
@aggregate0072 I actually kind of envy the CoD franchise for being pretty much the same year after year. I loved RFoM and with the massive changes hated the 2 Resistances after that, mp was shit, not even the same game. Uncharted 2 was a long time mp game for me, then UC3 changed everything, went all CoD like. So I would gladly take more of what I like rather then the studio ruin my favorite mp.
@gravelord, I'm not sure whether to applaud or cringe! I mean on the one hand, your comment was an epic...on the other hand ...fail!
Do I commend the epicness or just face palm the utter failure?
On topic, I never got into CoD. Played 4 and thought it was very good but was not compelled to buy any sequels.
Heres an idea Hows about you make a COD that cant be hacked aa by 10 year old. I mean seriously, they shouldve learned by now that some things don't need to be on a save file..
Guess its just more of a tale of how little they actually change in each iteration.
lol i hadnt played a call of duty since black ops, played this on my mates ps4 and was blown away by the size of the maps, what were they thinking i spent most of the match trying to find other players
the problem is people who keep having this idea that the next one has to be better. in the end you end up buying the game anyway. you want any series to improve stop buying it!
took them long enough to finally ban hackers, if people can't play fair to begin with, they should face the consequences. Apart from that I haven't played COD since MW3.
I got it for $40 bucks the other day. Enjoying campaign on veteran but online multiplayer sucks always has since I picked up battlefield nothing compares to the scale, vehicle, teamwork that battlefield has. Its an actual war when playing. Its very excites. I played cod ghost online 1 time and was like yep...nope
Lol you have to be a PS4 fanboy to not like titanfall? I mainly play on pc and I don't like it at all , out of my 112 people I do clan games with on things like BF and ARMA, 3 have titanfall about 30 have tried retail and over 70 where on beta , the ratio seems about 4% like it of all my friends but you say it's only ps4 fanboys
Agreed...I bought a Xbox One for TitanFall(of course Halo played a big role in my decision as well)and I'm loving it. Never played a game as fast paced. Every 3 seconds your killing something. It's the best most reliable MP I've played since Halo 3.
I'm done with all the competitive war fps games this gen, they all get old too quick and they're all the same thing. Run around point shoot, repeat, played one ya played em all. The only way id pick one up this gen is if it went all out and had a good campaign and destructible environments, Land combat, space combat, sea combat, air combat, mech combat, sword combat, hand to hand combat, futuristic weapons, live weather, everything all mixed into one, And just call it War.
In the campaign you start out as the first humans, building all the way from the stone ages of war to the futuristic type war you see in Star Wars and gundam wing. No one would ever want to play a different war game than this. I've got some bold game ideas, only if I were a dev.
As an old counter striker now finally someone understands how i feel about these newer fps titles :) i mean they're great and all but i haven't seen anything that comes close to the original counter strike or quake 3. But people still go mad every year and buy that same game every time... It has to stop!
Bout time dude, black ops was my 2nd and my last cod I played, if I were to get another cod it'll be the next one with zombies. People wake up from your addiction to cod you'll feel good afterwards and other games to play.
If you actually bought Ghosts, then you're not stopping anytime soon. This game screamed terrible since itd reveal - you'd have to be a complete cod fanboy to buy it.
Massive ban wave? how can they do a massive ban wave when maybe only 3 people actually enjoyed this garbage game.
lol seriously though.. sounds to me like they just pooped on the few number of fans that actually played this game (in comparison to others i guess).
this is just one more reason to wait for Treyarch to release another COD.. IW is poop. after ghosts.. i refuse to support them. and really... ? console bans? id be furious.
If you get randomly put in a hacked lobby you will get banned for life.. Not exactly great selling point for future titles but great there cracking down on cheaters.. Just shows they have no time to actually find who's cheating and just ban anybody who's near anything cheating instead including innocent people.
I never got into online shooters because they was to competitive. I was really bad at them too. Based on what I've read this ban would've hit me if I played.
@thorstein
I think I see what happened. The players who where low skilled where being marked as cheaters PUMPING the stats of other players.
Basically, they detected them as EXP pumping because they stunk at the game their kill/death rate was a high ratio.
This type of ban system brings new meaning to the online communities. People who are horrible players will get marked for abuse and ban from playing.
In essence this ban is saying "Online is no place for amateurs or casual players who lack skill. That's how I see it. The cheat detection system is treating players who lack skill as cheaters because it boost other players EXP.
I could be wrong but from what I read that's how it looked to me.
I dont think COD Ghosts for PS4 and PS3 have dedicated servers. They shouldnt be getting on a modded server if the servers were dedicated. Modded servers on consoles are only possible on a P2P connection. But there are people who use in game glitches to gain an advantage, even on dedicated servers.
@sAVAge_bEaST I don't know. Mark Rubin said back in Oct that COD Ghosts would be using listen and dedicated servers. http://www.twitlonger.com/s... We all know dedicated servers cuts out things like host migration, modders and cheaters etc, etc. But listen servers are apparently similar to p2p. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
Evidently they aren't just using dedicated servers, because there shouldn't be any modding on dedicated servers. All game data is held host side with dedicated servers.
Even tho its broken at times ghost made me a huge bf4 fan. Alot of my friends play bf4 and its just crazy how fun the different modes that it has can be
I think this will be the last COD for me (yes, yes I know it took me that long), I got bored of this game so fast that it felt like a slap in my face; but on the other hand I'm really starting to fall in love with bf4 (when it's working), and it's starting to make me contemplate on buying the premium :S.
Can someone explain how it is possible to accidentally or automatically wind up in a hacked server.
BF4 is by far a better game.
I noticed a strangely large amount of seemingly not legitimate players when i played for the first time in a while last week!
