Noooo!
I'm not even half way there yet -_-

Gator_ESG4875d ago

I know so many other games I play can't just no life CoD.

kparks4874d ago

Why dont they make a level system THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING and not just who plays the game the most what a joke the leveling system has been jacked up far too long

chriski3334874d ago

This is just sooooo stupid these lazy assholes can't think of anything new so here u go just prestige some more same crap over and over

Neko_Mega4875d ago

Wow, so the people that use the hacks have to update now? It's sad when the MW2 hacks work on MW3.

I don't care what level people are at, because all it means is that you played it more then most (Or hacked it).

NBT914875d ago (Edited 4875d ago )

Not always, if one is higher ranked but has less game time, then there is a chance that they are consistently good at the game.

Edit - or hacked it of course, but its usually obvious. The hackers are either level 9 or 10, its the better players who usually finish up on 4/5 or so.

BX814874d ago

Being good at call of duty is off set by poor hit detection and extremely poor hosting lag. When they fix hit detection and get dedicated servers for the consoles then I'll listen to someone talk about skill on cod.

NBT914875d ago

How many is that now? 80?
Because when you unlock everything in the game, it is totally worth loosing it all and unlocking it all over again just for a few pixels.

I suppose, to be fair that is not too much different from starting a new story mode save game to play through a game again. but to me it always looks like people prestiege on COD just for the sake of it, not because they actually want to.

BattleTorn4875d ago

I hate the idea of Prestieging.

Red Dead Redemption had it, and I guess I would "Pretiege" just for the sake of replay.

But in COD it's silly. In my first day on MW3 I think I reach lvl30. Which is ridiculous.

It took me 2months to get to max level in BF3.
Much better leveling system, IMO.

COD just hands "Promotions" on a silver-platter to anyone that can get a kill

NBT914875d ago

Although do remember, in COD the amount of XP you need for the next rank increases each time. So you might get to level 30 quickly but eventually it does start taking a while to plough through the last ranks.

Also, the way you unlock stuff in the game is odd. There is about 50 ranks+ and only 30 or so things to unlock, meaning you go ages without being rewarded other than a new badge lol =D

JaredH4875d ago (Edited 4874d ago )

It takes about 24 hours of gameplay to prestige or a little less.

But yeah I think it's pointless to do. Especially with higher levels getting unlocks like dead silence that you literally need to be able to run around and do good in modes like search and destroy.

Soldierone4874d ago

What do you mean by max rank in BF3? Just the Eagle? Or actually getting all the way up the ladder completely?

The highest I've seen on BF3 is 73, and he had like a thousand hours put into the game. But their system is so much better. I have 72 hours put in, in rank 2 of the eagle, and am still unlocking stuff. Its not just a random noob weapon, its extra's and getting service stars or medals, it keeps rewarding you and that is awesome.

f7897904874d ago

I never prestiged in Black Ops. Was consistently on the top of the score board.

Gator_ESG4875d ago

Think it might be a fix to the hack as well. Never know somehow adding this will fix it? or show how hacked and when you update your locked?

urwifeminder4874d ago

Give us achievements instead prestige lol if i had to kill 10,000 online id still play.

jeseth4874d ago

Yeah. Online Trophies and Achievements are WAY overdue!

HardCover4874d ago (Edited 4874d ago )

Online achievements are the absolute worst. After a certain amount of time passes, they become literally IMPOSSIBLE to get. If someone chooses to pick this game up 6 years from now and enjoys collecting achievements, then they shouldn't be punished simply because they're late to this particular party.

Developers should stay away from crap like that.

Modern Warfare 3 flooded with cheaters after arrival on Xbox Game Pass

Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.

“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”

This is pretty dumb to say the least.

Cacabunga319d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

badz149320d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up

blackblades320d ago

That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.

XiNatsuDragnel320d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

ZycoFox319d ago

If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.

lelo2play320d ago

Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.

Rynxie320d ago (Edited 320d ago )

They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).

StormSnooper320d ago (Edited 320d ago )

Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)

pwnmaster3000320d ago

I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.

Rude-ro320d ago

It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.

StormSnooper320d ago

lol well that sucks.

Is there a reason this happened upon arrival on xbox?

Activision Reportedly Sold An AI-Generated Skin In Call Of Duty

The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report. Instead, Activision assured developers it was simply for internal concepts. That, of course, was not followed through. For what it's worth, per the PlayStation Store, 2,400 COD Points cost $19.99, meaning players potentially spent real-life money on a skin that was not created by an actual human.

As far as A.I. use goes across Activision, a source told Wired that 2D artists are utilizing A.I. to aid their work. That is a result of mass layoffs, in which many 2D artists were impacted. “A lot of 2D artists were laid off,” the source named Noah said. “Remaining concept artists were then forced to use A.I. to aid in their work.” Mandatory A.I. trainings have been implemented, according to Noah.

I mean, is this even surprising?

just_looken322d ago

It is not ubisoft has a ai tool for crating stories/script's they even talked about npc's having there own ai speech like we see with those skyrim mods.

Ai is the future sadly which sucks in so many way's.

S2Killinit322d ago (Edited 322d ago )

Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever.

Oh and where the FRIGGIN outrage people? When Sony makes a remaster of a masterpiece single player story driven game, they get roasted. But this, this, goes unnoticed? Then don’t complain that you aren’t getting enough single player story games.

Ea and ubisoft also use ai

ea using ai for development threatening mass layoffs.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/...

ubisoft ai for npc speech
https://www.theverge.com/20...

Almost every big boy in the industry is using ai in some sort of way now

Oh and sony? well they are making spyware ai were they can see how long it took you to do X and adjust difficultly.

@blackblades

Wow this site every time you say the S word or P word they dive in defend there god its beyond nuts

I said "they are making"

You know a term that means its not out yet ffs

S2Killinit322d ago (Edited 322d ago )

How is that a response to what I said? Are they also selling AI generated skins?

Cacabunga322d ago (Edited 322d ago )

Always bringing useless links totally off topic.. just to try to show you are superior in knowledge to everyone else

@S2Killinit

You never mentioned skins in your comment just stated its all microsoft's fault like so many others.

When like i showed they are late to the ball game as every other company is using or plans to use ai in various field.

If you combine everything then its getting closer to hitting a button and poof out comes a game no soul no passion nothing.

Right now its art/3d models/skins/writing/voice work some and coding can all be done via ai.

S2Killinit322d ago (Edited 322d ago )

That was the whole point of my comment, I wrote it in response to the article. Instead of focusing on making exciting games and developing talented developers, they are busy making AI generated skins that people are buying for huge sums of money. Then, some people turn around and shit on Sony when it tries to capitalize on single player classics by making remasters, and the same people then complain that they want more single player games. MS cannabalized the industry because they never thought making games was essential to their business. So, instead of nurturing theor own studios, they let them die, then went and shrunk the industry, hurting interests of every gamer in the world. Anytime there is a bad trend in the industry, MS is at the helm, leading the way. That is what I’m saying.

smashman98322d ago

I'm sorry but do you honestly believe Sony will sit out of A.I. Every executive at every one of these publishers is wetting themselves in delight at the prospect of A.I. You best believe that once we start seeing it spread throughout the industry Sony won't be too far behind. The only people we'll have to blame are the consumers themselves.

S2Killinit322d ago (Edited 322d ago )

No, I don't believe that Sony will not do the same. But, as I mentioned, MS is always the first to embrace such things and create the worst trends. Once they establish that this is the best way to make money, everyone else will follow. (Have to follow if they want to stay competitive)

thesoftware730322d ago

S2, and blackblades:

All from the Horse's mouth below.

"Artificial intelligence (AI) in video games is crucial for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who seek “personalization across everything,” says PlayStation executive Asad Qizilbash."

“Advancements in AI will create more personalized experiences and meaningful stories for consumers.”

"He emphasized that AI could enable non-player characters to interact with players based on their actions, enhancing the personal connection within the game."

Yeah, Just MS and Activision...smh

S2Killinit322d ago

I’ve already explained myself twice. Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good. Now, doing the same thing when someone brings up MS’s nefarious behavior, defend them to the end, and watch them scorch gaming as they have been. At least rest of us can take consolation in that the smoke will go in your eyes before anyone else’s.

thesoftware730322d ago (Edited 322d ago )

"Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good."

I'm not sure what you are talking about, you seem to have a issue communicating, because we are on a post about using AI to create video games content, and you put that solely at the feet of MS and Activision, when it's being, and will be used industry wide, right from Sony mouth, I would say it's relevant...then you went on to give Sony a spit shine slob down about a masterpiece TLoU when this had absolutely nothing to do with Sony or TLoU, then you attempted to clean up your rambling spit shine with no real backing for a ridiculous comment.

Obviously you meant to post that nonsensical over exaggerated comment. I also don't know what blew up in people faces, I am perfectly fine with the game industry, I don't have time to be internet outraged about nothingness.

Really read your comment and listen to what you said.

"Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever."

Bro, for real? Really? Seriously? It's that serious? So there is nothing Sony and Nintendo can do against MS and Activision? MS is 3rd place with you even talking about?

If we stay relevant on MTX, then you still sound ridiculous because again, you lay it all at MS and Activision's feet when almost all companies have used some form of MTX, including yup... Sony.

S2Killinit318d ago

I read this comment, it boiled down to “seeiously?”.

My answer: yes seriously. Since you didn’t say anything else, what else can I tell you? Yes MS is seriously ruining gaming. They have been for some time, and working their way to where we are today, and aren’t even done yet. MS are the worst thing to happen to console gaming.

"The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report."

We're talking concept art? Because as of right now there's no way to generate a final 3D model with final textures. So the final assets don't use AI. That's not to say that it sucks for 2D artist that it's easier to generate visual ideas and build from them leading to less 2D artists needed (really sucks), but are they say the final concept art was completely AI generated and then 3D artists built from that? And yes, I'll pile on that Activision as a publisher and their developers I have experience with suck and they'll do whatever, ethics be damned.

OldDuffer322d ago

Thats actually a very useful and informative piece, thank you.

just_looken322d ago

@OldDuffer

Your welcome though it seems it went over many users heads.

PapaBop322d ago

Wow I can just imagine the likes of Activision, EA and Ubi etc having an army of AIs creating overpriced crap and the fanboys just lapping it up. I hope the AIs have a good union.

montebristo322d ago

I understand why people think it’s good idea to Unionize to fight back against such things but it’s not. It’s a bad idea. It’s activisions wet dream to have these pumped out weekly by some AI. Protect your neck!
