    Wow, talk about bad luck...

     

    Personally I've had to turn the graphics down to Medium as even if it runs fine on Ultra, on certain spots (especially when looking into the distance at some places) the framerate drops significantly, even when running in borderless window mode. Game doesn't feel that well optimized, or I might have to upgrade my hardware at some point soon...

     

    Either way, loving the game. Can't say much about it yet as I'm still absorbing it all but the story was pretty intense and got me invested almost instantly.

    If I had to sum up the luck I have in any CoD game it would be a dude named Murphy with an express badge attending the Bullshit Convention. This isn't an exaggeration because I counted. 10 games. All different lobbies. in each game 2 people on my team that went 0-15+. One of them was sitting there shooting at a fucking rock. literally just aimed down at a small rock on the ground and shooting every so often. On top of that every game had someone on the other team going like 30-5 with that bullshit shotgun haymaker. Because you know, fighting an AA12 with faster fire rate and less spread is fun.

     

    Then there's the lifelong trend that if I'm going to shoot at someone who's not aware of me yet, you can bet your ass a team mate of his is gonna round a corner with some 1 hit weapon and fire first. If I had to put a percentage on those odds, well over 80.

     

    Another predictable pattern: my team never travels in any semblance of a group. once that starting bell is rung then that's the LAST I see of them outside of the final kill cam. And the rare occasions they DO travel as a group, they wipe to one guy. Almost always. It feels like if I don't land the kill on that dude first then the killfeed is logging red for days.

     

    Don't get me wrong. This game is fun. one of the most fun CoD's I've played in forever. But tonight can go fuck itself with a rusted iron nail bat. So much bullshit it's starting to burn into my monitor.

    CoD is one of those games that when it works, it's the most awesome thing in the world, but when it doesn't... it's really frustrating yeah.

    Have I ever told you how much I hate the avatar size restrictions on this site?

    I think they are fair enough. Avatars bigger than appx. 100x100 just clutter the forum imo and look horribly huge on lower res displays.

    That's what I've been doing, but that adds a 5 second delay, and quite a bit of duplicated data downloading. (it loads for the integrated player, and then has to load again for the full player on the Youtube site) In addition, I prefer to stay on a single tab when possible, because it reduces strain on my HDD. (I have an old HDD and can't afford to replace it right now, and the more tabs open, the more temp files written to/read from)

     

    In short, this requested update is to make everything simpler, faster, and make my HDD last longer.

    Fair enough.

    I'm gonna be honest with you guys.

    I almost jumped out of a window on purpose this morning.

    No joke.

    What's up...?

    It would take way too long to explain the full story,but I got yet another fucking F on a test which I studied HARD for.

    Among many other things about a lot of stuff.

    Damnit... that's gotta suck hard... :/
