    Firmus,

    I play every night. I don't actually know any of the other PS3 players though.

    I'm on somewhat regularly, but I find I can rarely join other PA PS3ers' games because of full lobbies or shitty matchmaking issues.

    Also, post-patch matchmaking performance is a joke. Multiplayer is more broken now than it was pre-patch. Can't mute players in the lobby window, randomly backs out of perfectly good lobbies, controls freeze up during matchmaking, and I haven't completed a single match without a connection error or some other bs error.

    I'd be into getting a full team of PAers together if we can coordinate. Lately seems like never more than 1 or 2 other people on at the same time.

    Matchmaking will never be fixed. It's the same problem that has persisted across four games.

    It took them forever to fix some very obvious and glaring flaws with MW2.

    You need to play some more zombies with me Tridus. Maybe tonight, winkwink?

    Me, Sanguine, Vey and ... Ober (?) played on Sunday, but we got our behinds kicked. I did manage to make it to the Stakeout for the first dog round though. I was pretty proud of myself about that.

    Yeah. I get Christmas break.

    Of course, I've divided it up to four individual three day weeks.

    :D





    That's how it is. Last year I was bitching about corporate assholes and... well. Now I am one.

    Finally. If it doesn't drop I say we just finish up some more of those MW2 coop missions.

    Last year I had 11 days of vacation time to take at the end of the year. So I went and told my boss that I wanted to take Thurs & Fri off every week of December.

    ...

    He just laughed at me. December/January are our busiest times of the year with schools closing up their books and rolling everything over for the new year, plus payroll and gov't forms (1099's, W2's). So I get screwed in December.

    I've got at least 13 days of PTO I've got to burn up before the cut-off. Plus another 14 that I can carry over. One of these years I'll have to remember to take an actual vacation.

    Hey I play on PS3 too. I mainly hookup with goons and friends.

    PSN name: proyebat

    Also, I have a question about the DenKirson stats: What does "2x penetration angle" for the regular hardened perk mean? And what is the pro version's "1.25x damage to streak" mean?

    The former means that it has double the penetration power through objects. The penetration power of a shot is determined by the angle it's fired at (i.e., a 90 degree angle, or perpendicular to the wall, shot will have more penetration than a 60 degree angle).

    The latter means that bullets fired will do more damage to killstreak rewards like Chopper Gunners, Spy Planes, etc. I wonder if that applies to Dogs/RCs?

    What's the status of party play on the 360 with the new patch? Anyone know if 1-2 people still get separated from the party, get black screened and then everyone has to kick out to the lobby to reform? As much fun as that is, I'm getting damn tired of it.

    Seems to me to be the same. We still had to kick out last night due to losing people. It does say if your NAT is open or not now, which is a nice change. I don't have any numbers to back this up but it did seem like it didn't take as many tries to get into a game though. It could just be a placebo effect from knowing that the patch was out.

    This game is frustrating as shit if you don't have a "4-bar" (whatever the fuck that means, I'm evidently too stupid to understand the concept of ping in milliseconds) connection. When I do have host or at least a half decent person hosting my game, I steamroll people. If I don't, I struggle to go positive.

    Hurf durf consoles, derp dedicated servers derp P2P hosting model derp.

    I was in a party of 3-5 through out last night for about 3 hours and we only had problem with not everyone joining one time and having someone kicked off from party one time. So, it's big improvement after patch.

    It seems the gaming experience between 3 and 4 bars is bit random for me. There are times I can have a great lag free games with 3 bars then there are other times it would be so laggy with 4 bars. But YMMV. I only check to see if I have 2 bars or less before the game start so I can expect crappy game.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Update Released
    Product Update - Valve
    Updates to Call of Duty: Black Ops have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

    Call of Duty: Black Ops
    Improved threading performance on computers with only 2 cores.
    Additional performance optimizations
    Added an option to pre-cache all shaders during load time. This fixes hitching related to shader compiling on some video cards when viewing an area of the map for the first time.
    Fixed random freezes in certain computer configurations.
    Allow Team Change on Ranked servers when it does not unbalance teams (this is a server admin option).
    Allow Team Change grace period at start of match (server admin option).
    Added 4 more reserved slots (server admin option)
    Added /connect
    Improved quickmatch results (server side change)
    Fix for watching films through Combat Record
    Fixed compassSpectatorsSeeEnemies exploit
    Fixed 3rd person fov exploit
    Fix for infinite supply drop exploit.
    Fixed crosshair flickering when stereo is active.
    Various spawn improvements
    Various sound improvements
    Fix for Zombies – Teammate shadows not displayed properly.
    Fix for radar not staying on in One in the Chamber when it should.
    In a Domination match, the Position Secured medal is no longer delayed.
    'Hardened: Equipment Shot' Challenge can now be completed by destroying a 'Camera Spike'.
    Fix for choppy final killcam in dedicated servers.
    Various map glitches fixed.
    Weekly and Monthly leaderboards will now track all kills, deaths and assists properly (All Time leaderboards were not affected by this)
    Added mixed hardcore playlist
    Added mixed barebones playlist
    Added 12 player versions of all playlists

    Rcon
    Reduced timeout values. Connect (or failure to connect is faster).
    Added all white-listed dvars for Ranked and Unranked. Admins have rcon access to ALL available dvars.
    Added Settings and Console tabs for Ranked servers.
    Fixes a bug where the “Server” tab doesn’t update values when connecting to a new server.
    Added version number to the title bar.
    Fixed a bug where UI state didn’t persist after switching to another server.
    Added “disconnect” button.
    Fixed map “set” to not use admindvar.
    Changed all dvars which could be possibly float, to float. Mostly these are time-type dvars.
    Fixed bug where entering a value of zero for Message Duration would cause a unhandled exception error.
    Truncated all message fields to 140 chars.

    Finally. I think I'll consider reinstalling the game now.

    I played against a team of people where atleast 5 of them were using Second Chance. It was frustrating because of how fast I would run out of ammo just trying to kill these guys, because it would take 10+ bullets just to get a kill. Had to put on Scavenger + Ext mags on just to get a god damned counter UAV without running out of bullets.
