You know the campaign's "challenges" are designed for consoles when you complete every single "headshot" challenge within the first two missions. KB/M too stronk.

All PC players:

:siren:There are two settings in your advanced video options, these settings are:

-Cache Sun Shadow Maps
-Cache Spot Shadow Maps

SET THESE TO OFF!

This will eliminate the poo poo textures in game and should alleviate a significant amount of hitching/freezing.

So I'm having trouble with aiming and hitting. This is weird to me because I managed to do so more then well in Titanfall, which had a similar gimmick of extreme mobility, and I didn't do too badly in Blops 2, the last of the series I played, but now I'm finding myself missing even the NPCs, frequently getting murdered, let alone in multiplayer. Should I be aiming for low or high sensitivity, and what are some tips for actually... you know, hitting dudes?

Lower your sensitivity. If you have it real high so you can turn really fast, that's probably loving you up. The TTK is low enough that if you're getting shot in the back it doesn't matter how quick you can whip around to face your attacker, you're gonna die anyway.

Aside from that, just practice. Or getting a XIM if you're a console player.

Right, but I mean is it like... buy a 12 pack to unlock Dew Pants, or do you choose what you want from your codes?
Edit: I wouldn't actually drink or eat the Dewritos so I'm curious how much money I'd have to waste if I wanted to get this stuff.
One code unlocks one thing, be it boots or 15 mins of 2XP or whatever. You can't choose but it's one thing per code

They seem to be a matter of preference, although if you're playing on next gen I don't think you have a choice in the matter since BO2 isn't on PS4/Bone.

Some people like BO2 but most seem to say Ghosts is snappier. No harm loading up both and seeing which you like better.

You can still use last-gen profiles on current gen platforms. I used the Halo 4 profile before they made a proper one for Destiny.

There is some very impressive cutscene stuttering. I'm guessing they saved every frame as a bitmap or something.

Trip report from some connection testing.

10 PS3 games I had host in 8/10, the 2 I didn't host were 4bar games.
10 PS4 games I had host in 0/10, 9/10 were 1 bar the other was a 4bar.

Both my playstations are wired. I don't know what the hell is going on. Just happy I got the digital version for both.

This game is really fun. I've played a few matches and pebbles trying to camp is hilarious. They alway go to the same spots but the maps have so many opening it's easy to just scoot on back there and blow them up.

Running exo muffler, blind eye, and low profile means I like never show up on radar unless I want to. Is swapping low profile out a good idea if I have a launcher on me?

Got a good couple hours into it. Spawns seem very reasonable for the most part.

Also that Lazer gun does pretty low damage but it's just so drat convenient that you don't have to reload.

I had more fun playing with the goons last night shortly after launch. There was more shooting, less terrible feels for characters you know will die and no dramatic plot twist like every other loving call of duty before hand.

Call of Duty is the Dan Brown of video game franchises.

Can't say I've noticed anything significant, textures seems a bit muddier but that's about it, did some campaign, did like 7 multi matches, ultra smooth.

AND loving 4 BARS FOR ME AGAINST AMERICANS. That made me absurdly happy, actual stable connection.

I think due to the verticality stuff they altered the aim assist, its not as severe as it was on other versions, probably because if it magnetized you to someone when they're boosting you'd never hit anything.

Time to either buy a XIM or learn to shoot better. :sweatdrop:

Campaign owns, I love the little upgrade system for the suit.

I only played a few matches on PS4 last night but each one was kinda squirelly, connection-wise. Every time I'd check the score board almost everyone was 1-bar'ing except for one guy and maybe another guy 3-bar'ing.

On the other hand, it seemed to play remarkably well. I only had maybe half-a-dozen spluttering involuntary "FUGGIN BULLSHIT" moments. Once on the map that has a hanger with a plane in it, I was shooting a guy from on top of it. He started shooting back so I went prone, and a full second later (after he was out of my sight and presumably not hitting me) I died. Also plenty of moments with the shotguns where I'd hit a guy multiple times point-blank, full-on, and still not get the kill. Then again maybe the shotguns are just horseshit in general.
