New Kill Cams

We’ve added new Kill Cams for everything. So now those “WTF!” grenades that seemingly come from no where, you can see that a guy threw it over the house, it hit a tree branch, bounced off a rock, into a tiny window, where you happened to be pointing out of, and say…… whoa. Follow behind RPGs and M203’s kill cams, claymores, Airstrikes where you can follow the bomb from the plane until it hits you.

Host Migration

Now you won’t have to be dropped back by yourself when a host leaves. Instead, everyone will stay together, a new host will be assigned, and the game will auto-start back up. Keeping everyone together, no more re-inviting, re-joining games because some host leaves. This has been a tall order and something that we’ve put a lot of work into which has allowed us to really optimize online play all around not just specifically with Host migration.

Improved Sniper / ACOG Accuracy

Sniper and ACOG scopes have been tweaked and are really improved. I use to not snipe at all (mainly because I’m a horrible sniper), but now it’s so much more fluid and natural, while still having the same difficulty to use, it has no more “WTF I know I hit that guy!” moments.

Upgraded Spectator Cam

Now when you’re in spectator mode you can follow them in 3rd person, switch to their first person view, or rotate the camera in a full 360 degrees around whoever you’re watching.

Quick Mute Option

Users will now be able to quick mute players on the fly by pulling up the scoreboard in-game or via the lobby by simply going to their name and hitting the mute assigned button. As quickly as calling in and designating an airstike. So no longer getting killed while trying to make your way through the Xbox blades for the mute option so you can shut up the guy who always seems to find it funny to sing into his mic or cover up for his lack of skill by telling you how to play Domination his way.

Played a bit more over the weekend and am really starting to appreciate S&D more now. I've slowed my game down alot and now take my time so don't die from all the grenades as much. The kill cam is excellent as I can see how the person actually killed me and it wasn't a fluke.

Learning the routes/tactics people take is always very important. i.e. on District if you start by the gas station be VERY careful by the cars as that almost always gets nade'd at the very start and if you aren't aware the nearest exploding car will kill you. Claymores are so useful on a game like this as I aways claymore door ways to the bombs and generally take people out first time

I'm thinking of combing that with sonic boom

I'm not sure whether to be

but had a crack at the noob tube team deathmatch on strike which was fun. Actually took 3 people out with 1 grenade. However my favourite part is killing people at point blank range with the grenade tube

so much fun

So is everyone up for thursday as usual?

I may be up for Thursday. I had another go at the weekend and continued to suck and continued to not enjoy it, even on Team Deathmatch which is my favourite game type. I'll try to play a bit more before Thursday to try and get back into it.

leowyatt · 03-03-2008, 13:20

Sorry to hear you aren't enjoying it. We could go for some private matches if you like to get everyone back into the swing of things

Davey_Pitch · 03-03-2008, 13:50

Nah, I'll be fine. I was a decent player before, I'll get it back again

Haly · 03-03-2008, 19:45

Jhadur · 03-03-2008, 20:22
