RolidSnake Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm pretty dissapointed with it to be honest. It feels slow, clunky and very laggy. I know it's a beta, but this has seriously put me off pre ordering the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Man, rough first day. Sounds like a lot of folks are having some problems with getting into games and then compounding that with hit detection issues. That's disappointing. I can't do another three years on Blops 2. I have no hope of even entertaining the next Infinity Bored offering, I can't do Ghosts 2. I hope there are some serious meetings being held now in preps for the XB1 launch. I saw some posts/tweets and supposedly Treyarch is waiting for feedback, I sure hope they have plans on addressing some of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you getting player hosts inside your geo, or are you on dedi's the whole time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagsta69 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Not had a problem finding games right up until tonight, now really struggling. When I do find a game a fair few frame rate drops (I think that's what they call it). It finds plenty of games and occasionally puts me in a lobby with 4 others but then game never starts and it keeps looking for more players. At least this will hopefully be solved by release. I guess that's why they have a beta:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Does anybody know what it means when your gun is glowing red?

RolidSnake Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It takes 10-15 mins to find a game with the R1 off and 30-40 mins to find a game with it on. My ping in game reads at 50-70ms whilst the R1 says it's on 20-30. Some friends I'm playing with say their in game ping is 10-15ms and they don't own the R1.

Alex49H Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yep mine is getting lots of games with PA set to 0 and Distance set to 0 and getting a lovely 13 ping I have seen a constant Dedi Server in Cali with PA set to 60 ms. The in game ping fluctuates from 50 to 80 to 100 ms. But still alright to play. Will have to set it to 0ms and 0 miles and see what happens.

bagsta69 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Turned off filter and got straight into a game on Dedi in Netherlands, not o bad tbh. BUT R1 said ping of 15 MS and Blops said 400ms lol Its a welcome diversion for a few days from AW and I have filed a few bug reports and feedback to the devs here, https://support.activision.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops-III-Beta-Feedback-and-Bug-Reporting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yeah I will say the pings are the lowest I've ever had.I actually played a game by myself eariler today,just me I was the only one in the lobby and it went thru 30 seconds of countdown,then started the game.Needless to say I capped all 3 flags and waited but no one joined,so I quit.

RolidSnake Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 The game also froze and wouldn't let me turn my ps4 off. I had to switch it off from the wall socket which is never a good idea. There's some pretty big issues with this beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

procreate Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Is anyone getting in any lobbies? It's been searching for 20min now. Just says checking for quality of match 0 of 50. Even tried disabling geofilter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Had to give up for the night on the beta.Is anyone able to party up with friends ? As I can't so we spent most of the night in the same lobby's sometimes on the same team,so times opposite teams (which was fun too) but couldn't pick up each other on the mics.Which isn't normally the case as we game all the time together,Is anyone else having these problems or am I just the lucky one ? Just wondering if they made the beta but since it isn't done yet that's why we can't party up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltr7 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Beta started out strong, now effed up beyond repair FML. AW is better than this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 @Fuzzy, Just read some comments over on CI about the Beta. One post said the same thing, they couldn't get a party or a 1 to1 paired comm to work. That was replied to several Times with same complaint. You might be right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JConnor Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 OK, first a big shout out to FuzzyClam, who was generous enough to give me a beta code since my pre-order isn't going through, for some unknown reason? Anyway... Downloaded fine, set up fine and at first, I had my home location in Kansas City, but low and behold... No server! So, Activision does change things up, OR it may just not have a beta server since I know there is a dedicated AW server. So, this may change at launch. I decided to play with this anyway with strict on, PA @60 and Geofilter @ 500mi. There are fewer hosts / servers in the mid-west, but that is to be expected since it is a beta and not a full release. So, the game played fairly well. It is laggy, it is buggy (frame drops, not optimized, etc.), but it's better than most betas I've been a part of, ironically. After a half-hour I moved my home location back to the East Coast and low and behold the game plays like it is on LAN. I ping 30-40ms to hosts and dedicated servers. My in-game ping said 50ms, but it never went above 40ms. So, thank you, once again, Ian, Fraser and the rest of the Duma team for creating such a cool piece of tech As for the game itself... Which is of course, subjective and personal preference... It's a step up from AW. I will give it that much. The Specialists and abilities are interesting and not OP as you would think. I only got a few Tempest kills and ZERO Compound Bow kills simply because everybody is running and gunning that you have to be camping, or on the move and be extremely good with it to get a kill. Speaking of being on the move, the wall running and boosting is very clunky and feels "heavy" -- This may be on purpose because AW feels like you're on the moon and weigh nothing. But once you master the Parkour it is rewarding to wall run and not fall into the abyss - lol. The weapons are your standard CoD fare. They are the same archetypes from previous games e.g. The Vector, The M4, The M16, etc... Even if they are pimped out futuristic versions of them. There are three maps and they are pretty diverse. I played TDM, DOM and KC, all core. The TTK feels right... Unlike AW that is even faster than Ghosts, IMO. There were many WTF?! moments because... Well, we've got players from across the country connecting to hosts and servers they shouldn't be. Go Activision MM... NOT! Since I pre-ordered it, the question is going to be will I cancel it? I'm on the fence right now, but I've only played an hour, so I can't in all fairness base my final decision on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dali86 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Ok guys, I played the beta. I have to say the first game I have played was like against bots. My ping on speedtest.net is in general around 9-11 ms. Ping on the Netduma R1 interface is around 20-23 ms. In the Bo3 beta it's around 60-80. My geofilter covers the regions Austria, Germany, UK, France. Spain excluded. It's set on maybe 800 km. My general experience with the beta is "good". Some guys see me first but if you play COD you have to adjust. This was in every COD since now. The hitdetection is fine for me and I'll try to decrease the geofilter a little bit so maybe I'll get better games. Maybe pings around 30-50 ms. This would be nice. In every COD I have this phenomenon where I play the fist game (of the day or even in a long time) online and the experience it's really good and smooth (excluding AW). Like I'm playing against bots. Then the second or third game is like hell and lag compensation kicks in and so on. I'm gonna play the beta a little bit more and report about it. People complain about the Destiny powers and how they brake the game. In Destiny this powers are really annoying. Here I'll have to play more to make myself a picture of that. I am assuming that the life span of BO3 will be short like the last COD titles because of the complexity and versatility of the game which we never asked for. At least I didn't. PS: I forgot, my PA is set on 0 because of Destiny. I'll set it back on 50 or lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
