Protect children from "Safe Schools" social engineering. Shame!

Mill Village posted:

David Vonderhaar has been dropping some tidbits about this game on his twitter. He is emphasizing that the multiplayer is in Pre-Pre-Alpha, so these things are subject to change (especially the perks).

-Ghost will again only hide you from UAVs while you are moving.
-A Scorestreak like the VSAT is returning. He emphasized the like part, so its probably another version of the Advanced UAV from MW3.
-Wall-running is on set lines and you cannot change your elevation.
-Scorestreaks cannot be assigned by class. He says it encourages risk/reward.
-Melee attacks are a 2 hit kill unless you equip the Knife.
-There will be fall damage
-Flak Jacket is back and it currently works like it did in BLOPS 2.
-No toughness
-Scavenger is back (no details beyond that)
-C4 cannot be detonated until they land.

2 hit melee only applies to panic knifing, it's still a OHK when the knife is equipped.

If the knife mechanics function the same as they did in Blops2, I hope its possible to pistol-whip someone using a knife if they gently caress up and miss. That has prime death mic potential.

C4 change is good, there was no other reason to use any other equipment. 2 hit melee is amazing. No toughness is good (crutch perks are dumb). Now if only goons would play a CoD for more than a month :(

I played Blops 2 all the way through and I played Ghosts for a long long while. poo poo I played for about a month after the last map pack released before I finally just got sick of it and sold it off. Advanced Warfare is the first one that just caused me to not want to play.

I actually gave up ghosts about 6 months in, but the clan tag was pretty barren even then. Then again Ghosts was absolute poo poo. I think AW just came at a bad time and I need a break from shootyman games for a bit. I'm excited for Zombies though even though I'm terrible at them. I'm glad it's going to be a new story since I've missed most of the last Blops zombies maps.

gently caress wall running. If there's boost jumping, I may rethink my plan to buy this game. That's Titanfall, not Call of Duty. Also, gently caress that C4 change. I suppose I should feel grateful that they're bringing it back at all, but I don't like super nerfing it so the MLG pubbies will quit their bitching. And there's nothing wrong with the VSAT, don't fix it if it isn't broken.

Other than that, those all sound good. I don't know why seeing your feet is so loving essential, but fine. Maybe we can convince pubbies that there's a secret achievement for shooting yourself in the foot.

Several of us (me, Ty, Knight, Mill, Moose, venutolo to a lesser extent, etc.) played Black Ops 2 from when it came out up through the first two months after Advanced Warfare was released. I think Ghosts broke all of us by being so awful, and AW was more of a Halo game than a COD game with all of the exo poo poo, which turned off the entire BLOPS 2 crew I played with. And even if you enjoyed AW, the idiotic thing they do with the DLC where you can only play it in its own playlist until the next DLC is released has kept multiplayer from staying interesting. Maybe if they release a COD game that actually plays more like COD and keep it interesting with new multiplayer maps that you can play instantly in all playlists, everyone will stick around a bit longer. I have some faith because Treyarch has historically made good COD games, but it seems like they're taking the series in a direction that makes it less like the COD we remember and all got hooked on and more like Titanfall, Halo, etc.

Very few of us actually care about playing Call of Duty, we just want to hang out and chat with our CoD bros while coincidental shootymans happens in the background.

As was previously said, C4 was getting to the point that it entirely outclassed any other explosive equipment. There is no way that something like that was going to get by a proper balancing without a nerf of some kind. IMO taking away air bursting but increasing the default explosive damage/range and adding a proximity sensor is a pretty fair trade. Then again I wasn't the biggest user of C4, so I'm probably biased.

But then if they don't change anything they get complaints about it being the exact same game. At this point it's almost impossible to not alienate some part of the fanbase. If it makes you feel any better what I've been hearing is that it does still feel pretty much like BO2 with a flatter, three-lane design and the new movement stuff is mostly just gimmicks that aren't essential to doing well (i.e. the ziplines from BO1).

I'm still hoping to get the entire nightly HC crew back together someday as those were probably my favorite CoD sessions to date. Here's hoping BO3 HC modes have teamkilling! :commissar:

Now that we're on internet/speedtest chat: My town is getting gigabit internet next month, I'm tempted to switch over. $99/month with a two year contract, which is over twice what I'm paying now. I have now idea how much gigabit internet usually costs in the U.S., is that reasonable?

Oh, also, AT&T has a 150GB monthly cap and if you go over it, it's $10 per 50GB "data pack". I sure am glad we're in a new console generation so all the download sizes are skyrocketing.

That might be what I meant. Is that the one that had the glitch that boosted its damage? MW2 was forever ago so I barely remember.

Google Fiber is $70 a month for gigabit with no contract, but that's google. I don't think there is any other real comparison from any other company on residential gigiabit.

The holo sight made the FAL a two shot kill at close range.
The ACOG was for the M40 sniper rifle in CoD4. Boosted the damage to one hit anywhere on the body.

Quickscopers never had it so good since.
