So I just turned on CoD5 on my 360 and joined a multiplayer game. Nothing special, just Hardcore TD as usual. Game started.
WTF?!?
Everything is moving 5 times quicker than normal!
Machine guns sound like farts, movement is absurd. Bettys everywhere. Dogs impossible to avoid. Crazy firefights with people spinning around each other firing wildly.
Mental.
What's even more mental is that in several of the games I played people were getting 20+ kills! I managed to kill myself with cooked grenades, and my team-mates with erroneous machine gun spray more than I killed anyone on the other team... Games only last about 2 minutes so christ knows how anyone can get 23 kills when I can barely navigate the map!
I did a little research after I stopped playing and there are two camps of thought on what is happening: either it's a hack (it's 360 only) or else it's some kind of server error.
I also read that some games are in slow motion, and that later today there will be a flying hack applied to the game. This last one is dubious, and I myself have not experienced slow-mo, only the intensely f'ed up super fast variant.
Anyone playing this game right now? If so, did you manage to get more than 20 kills in a game? I think the key is to use bettys, turn look sensitivity right down and just camp in one spot.
Props to anyone who gets a knife kill, provided the victim is on the OTHER team...
Hmm, I wonder if zombies is sufferin a similar fate!!
