I've logged into tonight and i'm suddenly on level 60 and everything is unlocked in create a class. Rebooted and it's the same, and I can't find the option to prestige. Have i been hacked? Has someone taken exception to me hiding with a silencer? Think my account has shithouse AIDS.

Certainly sounds like you've been in a bad lobby at some point.

 

Don't know if it's related, but, I had to change my PSN password tonight.

I wonder were there hackers being mischievous?

I was on the Sony sites last night and I had to change my password for one account, but not the other. Think I'll change the password for the second account today to be safe.

Nothing will prepare you for the spawn system.

I like it. Nowt groundbreaking but that is going to be harder and harder to achieve a truly special game whilst following a familiar format.

Upcoming Improvements

 

 

One of the first things we want to make sure everyone is aware of is where are patch notes are located [click here]

 

Spawning: Spawning is one of the most talked about subjects in Ghosts, and it’s one of the most talked about subjects here at the studio as well. We’ve been addressing bugs with the current spawning system, but feel we can do more to make the experience better. We are currently working on significant changes to the spawning system based off of the learnings and play data that we have gathered over the last 5 weeks. Work is progressing here and we recently had our first internal playtest of this new system. The designers are working feverishly to get it ready to go live and we will keep you up-to-date on our progress.

 

Weapon Balance/Sniper Rifles: We constantly evaluate and re-evaluate weapon balance. Any changes we make have a ripple effect throughout the game so we test things heavily before they go live.  After much feedback and many hours of internal testing, we recently made adjustments to the MSBS.

 

Sniper Rifles are something we are also looking into; as we said before, we changed Sniper Rifles from MW3 to Ghosts. Those changes are:

 

  • No aim assist from the hip, which was a huge part of how Quick Scoping worked in previous games. Players now have to aim unassisted until fully scoped in.
  • Hip fire reticles for Sniper Rifles were removed and hip spread was increased drastically. This reduces the effectiveness of hip firing with a Sniper Rifle.
  • The Quickdraw perk’s Aim Down Sight (ADS) speed scale was reduced significantly for Sniper Rifle.

Moving forward, we are testing adjustments to address the Time to Kill for Sniper Rifles versus other weapons. These Sniper Rifle balances include:

 

  • A reduction in the flinch benefit of the Focus perk.
  • An increase in overall ADS time.
  • Sniper Rifles with a silencer are being changed to a chest-up kill instead of a waist-up kill.

 

We will continue to monitor the data and balance these weapons accordingly.

 

Hacking/Cheating: We have a dedicated Online Security department enforcing our online code of conduct for Call of Duty: Ghosts [click here]. This team is actively banning cheaters, cleaning up the leaderboards, and fixing hacked stats. The development team is fixing hacks and exploits as we find them. Please refer to the patch notes for a list of security fixes we’ve already addressed [click here]

 

And you can help! When you report someone in-game, it goes directly to our Online Security team and they investigate every issue. You can also report issues to Activision Support, either through twitter (@ATVIAssist) or online [click here]

 

Squad Points: We are making a change to the amount of Squad Points your soldiers earn. For ranks 1 - 5, each rank up will now give you 5 squad points (increased from the usual 2 squad points). So each Squad Member that you take to level 5, you’ll get 25 squad points.

 

Operations: We are looking at large, potential changes for Operations. For instance, we are looking into increasing XP rewards for completing operations. More info to come.

 

Infected: We are in the process of adding new loadouts to the Infected playlist. This is currently being tested internally, so be sure to look out for more variety in the future!

 

New game mode: We are in the process of adding a new Heavy Duty playlist that increases player health.  We would love to hear your feedback on this new mode, so make sure to try it out.

Just played it for the first time since I last posted in the thread. Only went online because I saw TK had it, even when I was first playing MW2 and was absolutely dreadful at the game I always enjoyed playing it and wanted to be on it loads. I just have no desire to play this at all.

 

It's absolute garbage. Hit detection is still all over the place, spawns are still crap and people are shooting me before I've even got them in view. 

 

I honestly have no idea how this got through testing to be released. Not even just the worst COD I've played, it's probably one of the worst games I've played full stop. 

 

My copy is going on ebay tomorrow. 

 

Did you bin it off in the end?

Quit midway through my third Tdm. The respawns were a disgrace. Die, respawn, shot in the back within five seconds.

 

Yep. The spawn mechanics are not the best to say the least. They say that they are actively working on them, so hopefully they improve them soon.

I've only played a few games and I'll deffo have a negative kd ratio of about 0.8 but I reckon that's alright considering I don't know the maps yet.

 

Kills come very quickly though, you don't get anywhere near the amount of time you used to.

I dunno, I've only played two and a half games. Can't get on to play it at the minute, the game keeps crashing on me, which seems to be quite a common error on PS4.

 

Going by early impressions, I doubt I'll get near the 2.50 I had on Black Ops 2.

I take it you got the PS4 disc version, rather than the PS3 version and PS4 upgrade?
