Custom Games don't count on leaderboards

[Ourobos]

I wasn't aware of this, just did Mind Games, went to a new high round.. Custom / Original difficulty. Didn't count. Got the easter egg done which is good, but damn, played for 3+ hours. Just a heads up.

I found this out when Die Rise came out, my friend and I went past 30(high rounds for us) and were sad to see no leader board.

A 30+n game is a high round game,IMO :)

custom games helps when doing easter eggs in my opinion. I was able to invite another player to finish the sharpshooter when a buddy timed out.

[Ourobos]

That's why we went custom, incase anyone got dropped, they could join back, which did not happen. And yes, the kills etc counted, everything but the rounds. We made it to 33 and just killed ourselves, had been playing all day. I think we could have possibly made 40. We were holding down the upstairs of the court house FYI, two entry points, fairly nice spot with decent weapons.

It bothered me before and it still does now. I have a 3 man team and we do superb with just us, 30+ on Tranzit, 35+ on Die Rise, 42 on MotD, 44 on Buried, and yet none of these have been recorded. It really bothers me, and I refuse to go into a public match with a random. These new maps are so complex that complete coordination is required. I wish that if it was on Original difficulty it would count it damnit!

How do you set up a Private Match on ps3? The only option for me it is public match, solo or custom game. I would like to be posting to the leaderboard but I hate having to be paired with random people. I want to to play a game with 2-3 players but it is always trying to find other players and wont start till there is 4 players in the lobby.

Try setting your search preferences to "best". It will decrease your chances of finding someone fast, giving you and your two other friends time to ready up sooner and have a game without a forth.

I was refering to the private matches on BO1.

Private matches are not possible on BO2.

And the price we have to pay for that is playing on some "Multiplayer engine" that causes the game to freeze frequently and is just more glitchy in general.

[TheKingOfToast]

If you have a second controller you can join it in under a second account and ready up with it, then when the countdown hits one back out. The odds of picking up a random are slim to none. This is also possible to do with two people as well.

[TheBSZombie]

I have problems joining games. I will have 3 other players in my match and it will NOT put me in a lobby.

Another tip I learned today (seems I'm behind the times), if you play solo, then end the game without dying, doesn't go on the leaderboards. Also it seems your solo / multiplayer cash are SEPARATE accounts..

[Tattoo247]

I play nothing but custom games, as I don't have a fourth player that I can stand, and forget randoms I've been done with them for ages.

My solo leaderboards are all fairly high, but the multiplayer scores are all probably single digit. Yet I get mid 30s almost nightly on any of the ps3 maps, I always figured if I had some amazing game or got to a high round I thought I never would get to again, I would just save the video or make a highlight reel.

It's a shame you can't start a game on public without a full party, I've heard about ways to get them to quit before the counter reaches 0 to start the game, but it's such a hassle. Everytime I try it they just purposely stay in the game to annoy.
