| Maybe you're bored cause you're not playing with 30s Are the Halloween props an outlet for built-up Ghosts anticipation? No coincidence the first prop you built is a ghost. Resetting stats to get better lobbies.. starting to make a bit more sense now, not complete sense, but more. I'm still trying to reach Master Prestige before Ghosts, but got me thinking now.. maybe I'll reset if/when I reach it. | |

I dont know what the algorithm is in match making but I felt I was still up against similar players before and after the reset. Maybe my prop build is subconsciously in anticipation of Ghost?!?!? | |

| I think the Bored feeling is fairly rampant thru out the forum lately. I check in at least once a day and if you watch the topics scrolling up the side, aside from the occasional league play vid from JK or Criptic, there is nothing COD related. maybe a few GTA vids from BD or winners. but there just isn't the same chatter on the forum that I'm used to seeing. I'm not the oldest member on here but I've got a year and a half under me and this is by far the slowest I've ever seen the forum. I'd be a lot more bored if I wasn't in the process of moving. BTW I've been playing MW3 more than BO2 lately so I'll shoot ya an invite if is see you sign in. Honestly, not that ghosts will play like MW3, but i figure i'll get used to playing an IW game again so the transition to a new game is easier. I almost feel bad for the new guys that have joined these last couple months. they aren't getting the 30 experience that i got joining mid MW3. | |

Maybe my prop build is subconsciously in anticipation of Ghost?!?!? The algorithm for matchmaking has a tolerance for something like +/- 300 spm so even with a low spm of 200, you're gonna get 500s. so basically its total crap (in my experience. there's no science behind that. I'm not driftor) | |

| I was bored until a couple of weeks ago when everyone got me to start playing league and now I am obsessed with my ranking, and cant wait to do a full season from the beginning. We lose way more often in league than we do in pubs and I think that makes it more interesting to me. Not that I like to lose but I feel challenged. Plus playing different game types helps keep it interesting too. The only thing I hate is to be the last alive on search and everyone watching me cause I get so damned nervous. I thought I hated league until these last couple of weeks where I really gave it a chance. | |

| I hear ya. Quite frankly I've enjoyed BLOPS2 quite a bit, but a big part of that was actually the Peacekeeper...if they would have continued to drop new equipment and, or perks though the lifespan of the game that would have kept it fresh. The new cameos are really just a money grab...had it been attached to accomplishments they might have meant more and kept things competitive. Still, I think the future of COD has to be something like Bungie's DESTINY. An expanding world, perhaps with shifting threats, alliances, missions and equipment. Still, at the same time I think it needs to be locked into something resembling "reality", the present and perhaps real world situations to make it viscerally exiting. I think that's what made MW3 so good...the expansive sense of the current world at war with semi-current tech, physical space/location and geopolitical realities in play. It was just more immersive in that sense. Though BLOPS2 has a lot of factions, locals, characters and tech...and an interesting speculative view of future warfare...it still feels small mission/location-wise and perhaps a bit cartoon-ish in it's futuristic setting and tech overtime (a big reason I just can't get into HALO). That being said, I'm a little concerned about GHOSTS in regards to it's futuristic, or alternate history setting, but I'm hoping that the player customization will keep it fresh. Halloween? WTF...the department stores are already putting up Christmas stuff! I love Halloween, but in the city my idea of it is really not a reality/feasible. Have fun with it..., but in the meantime be sure to enjoy Oktoberfest!!! | |

| I was getting really bored with BO2 as well. I played in some league games for the first time. A few weeks ago. Actually it was the first time I got to play with some fellow 30s. It was a great time. We didn't do that great, but it was the most fun I have had playing BO2. | |

| League play is the only thing that kept this game fresh at all for me. I quickly grew addicted to the 4v4 style of play and the diff rules in league play. No betties, claymores, etc - it's gun on gun action and 4v4 makes it both fast paced yet way more tactical.
I haven't had much time to play at all lately, but when I do have time I play league exclusively. | |

| I got bored about six months into the series. About that time I discovered the Riot Shield. I found out quickly it really pissed off anyone playing against me (us). I never realized just how much I enjoy pissing people off. In TDM ... those precious two second after you kill am opponent (and can hear his mike) was like Christmas everyday as they use my name in vain ... cause they got killed by a Riot Shield.
Even better ... is when I piss someone off enough to prompt them to send me a private message ... usually stating very eloquently how much they hate me. Kinda makes it all worth while | |

Thanks SouthPaw, your mention of the Peacekeeper got me to pick it up again and I've been cutting them down with laser, sights and long barrel. I think you're right, had they continued to drop new equipment, perks or even attachments it would have kept the lifespan going much more, but then again, these days nothing lasts and everything is disposable. I'm still enjoying the game though, looking for those rounds where kill whoring is easy and working to get to Master Prestige. One thing I don't get though.. in the Octoberfest pic, why is the chick on the right look so pissed? It's Octoberfest girl! | |
