On another note, I've given into the comments on this site and another on how good the game is and bought the 360 version.
Yeah, but good thing is that it does'nt happen alot, and only on Death Match, since on Team games you respawn near your starting place in the beginning of the match.

So you got it for the 360, that's good, I don't think you will be disappointed, it's a really good shooter. Gfx are top notch, and the realism is just uncanning.

So what you are saying is that when you get killed, and then see the Kill Cam waiting for the respawn. You see the person who killed you, reloading their weapon? and some how firing bullets out of it, that go right by you and miss?



I think there is something wrong with your T.V or copy, that has never happened...although I don't pay much attention to the killcam, I wanna get back into the action ASAP. I'll see next time I play to test it out, I die alot so...should'nt be too hard to spot

Nope 2 types of death. Kill cam shows player reloadign no bullets being fired and i die. Second kill they shoot around me and miss and i die. and I have a 32" samsung LCD.

Asked my friends online about this and I quote "with this game you will" Hey the game isn't perfect so I expect strange things to happen

That's weird, I have'nt seen that, I have a 27" SD tube TV btw

So what do you believe? that you are'nt actually being shot when you die, or that the kill cam is flawed?

No idea then xplaing how you get shot when the player is reloading whats is it the mag fire bullets not the run. Just like that act when the magician throws knifes around the woman and never hits her. Same here bullets around the player and do not hit the player but you die that I understand could be lag. Ah Kill cam flawed well the game is not perfect is it

But you are getting shot when dying right? I mean you see the red all around you and then boom you're dead, correct?

No game is really perfect...except for the Perfect 10 ones

But did you buy this game for the kill cam? I did'nt even there was one, and just thought it was convenient when playing online, I don't have the problem you do though.

Well yeah I can agree on that, if it was more like Warhawk online, that'd be great...cus they have dedicated servers and tons of people playing.

"find a game" is'nt as good...but hey, the LAN and Invite friends feature is convenient for those types of games with people on your PSN.

I don't think that you level up "too quickly"; it's that there are far more levels and ranks than in most games.

Also, it depends on which game mode you play and how good you are (though more on which game you play).

For example;
I'm level 25 and I've played just over 10 hours. I usually play free for all and almost always finish in the top three.
One of my friends is level 22 and has only played for 5 hours. He plays Search and Destroy and isn't any better than me (our accuracy and K:D ratio are almost identical).

Phenom

PS You get points far too easily in Search and Destroy, I think.

Search and Destroy?

The rounds are two minutes long (I think) and a match is first to four wins (or "best of seven rounds").

One team defends two potential bomb targets while the other team attempts to plant a bomb on either of the targets.

Once planted, the team that planted the bomb must ensure that the bomb is detontated (there is a timer) while the team defending must attempt to defuse the bomb before it detonates.

You switch teams after 3 rounds (defenders become attackers and vice versa).

You get 50 points per kill, 25 per assist, 100 for planting a bomb and 100 for defusing a bomb.

There are no respawns on either team, though.

I prefer the fast action of FFA to the slower more strategic S&D, to be honest (I prefer to work alone ), but it's okay every once in a while.

5 Star already (bit sad maybe lol). The Domination is a good mix of stuff, team based, can spawn in anytime and not the complete mayhem that can be deathmatch. Although that one map, about the size of a match box with all the containers in it is insane.


As for the kill cam stuff above, its lag and the slight of hand reload thingy...

It'll feel a lot worse when you unlock the Challenge "Place first in a Team Deathmatch game" and you can't repeat your performance...trust me .

But congratulations all the same.

I got to rank 16 in 5 hours of play time.

I've found Headquarters is a good game to rank up seeing as it's a team based game, and everytime your team is in possession of the HQ, you gain like +5 every 2 seconds, and you can still get points for killing and what not. Also when your Team is defending the HQ and you are dead, seeing as you cannot respawn, you still get +5 every 2 seconds and what-not. Awesome game and very fun.

I still have yet to try out any of the game outside my newbie comfort zone, but mainly because no one is playing them, and I don't really understand the rules completely.

What is with this game 80% of the time it is laggy as hell. Most pings are yellow or red. Just played a game so jerky it was unbelievable. Sony needs to improve the online play that what next gen is not provide a laggy service

Yeah I've encountered games like that before. Terrible lag made me screw up.

But for the most part, I'm in a clan that takes part in MLG (Major League Gaming)...and the users that we face have a great connection just like us...they also have alot of skill, and we got raped

BTW I'm rank 43 now...I'll most likely go into Prestige Mode once I get it.
