I actually couldnt hear you at all when we were playing. I could hear other people. Weird

And before I jumped off, a buddy joined my game and we could talk fine, but every time we tried to go into a game, it would immediately push him out of the lobby and throw me into another, separate one, no matter which game type we tried. He could join my lobby, but I wasn't even seeing invites he was sending me.

I think it's likely there's some sort of glitches going on, but it could also just be first day, heavy load wackiness. I'm glad I had a solid 7ish hours of playtime today with no server problems beyond those though.

Game's fun, but I think I do better when I try to play it more like a traditional CoD, saving Exo moves for when I need to get up on a ledge quickly versus just zipping around everywhere and getting blown out of the sky after three seconds. Also not crazy about any of the guns besides the AK12 and one of the SMGs, but these kinda meh guns could get fixed by finding a good Professional or Elite version out of a supply drop, so that gives me hope. Plus I'm only lv 39, there's still some to unlock and try.

I'm sucking too hard to have much of an opinion on the killstreaks just yet, but mostly they seem kinda weak, which probably makes lots of people happy that there aren't constant harriers and poo poo in the sky, but I kinda like that stuff after it's been a few months and I know the game well enough to be the one throwing them up. Only had a few games where I played how I usually do in CoD, right now I'm still kinda lost in these dense maps trying to learn my preferred routes.

I like it though! Feels like a good successor to BLOPS2.

I'm slowly getting the hang of it but winning gun fights is completely random at the moment.

I saw someone on Reddit call for the IMR (four-round-burst assault rifle, prints its own ammo) to be banned from league-play so, having never used it before, I foolishly burned my first prestige token on it and unlocked it with prestige 1.

My first match, I killed 51 people and got to level 9, and also unlocked the gold skin (since I didn't have any attachments).

It was pretty good.

They need to adjust that gun but I don't want another MSBS situation again. That gun was trash after they nerfed it.

So, should I get this on PC? I'm just looking for something to fill the Titanfall shaped void in my life.

Reading the thread, it sounds like the gameplay is better than ghosts.

I know most people will probably leave the game in few months, but it's not like that didn't happen to titanfall.

The best way to balance games is to make other stuff better instead of good stuff bad and unfun.

Also MW2's FAMAS never got balanced, everybody just got gud.

The moment they went on to make another CoD game before balancing the M16 in MW1 all notions of balance went out the window.

From what's been said in this thread, the PC version is already inundated in hacks.

I've been playing all day, apart from a couple hours in the afternoon, and I haven't had any issues at all. Granted, I'm on 360 (so if you're on Bone then there may be something there), but worth mentioning at least.

As bad as knife lunge can be, it's really frustrating when there's none at all.

This is probably the best way to play the game. Get an AR, put grenade lanucher on it, then spam superjump everywhere and pretend your grenade launcher is a spinfusor :getin:

Default latency setting in the config file is set to 800, so if you don't want to play with your pals in zimbabwe you should edit it down to around 100. The lag is not that bad, but every other round there's some russian guy with an aimbot spamming chat and killing everyone.

Just going off of what was said here. I play on the ps4 so how the hell would I know?

Im glad others are noticing the weird "lag" issues. It reminds me of MW3's launch where there were some qwirks with lag compensation, they fixed it in the first couple of weeks.

I'm glad to see this, because it definitely feels like everything is out of sync. With the increased speed of everything and kill cams you can really see some crazy poo poo that lag compensation is causing.

I was concerned it was just me.

I pegged the game as being Metal Gear esque, but I think a better description is Robocop fanfiction, starring Kevin Spacey. Who generally does a pretty good job with this games material, if I may say so.

Also, I don't care if it is a bad idea, dubstep shotgun and/or boost around like an idiot everyday.

Interesting. I knew this game had a really fast TTK, but yes, now looking at some kill cams I see longer bursts from my enemies, whereas what I experienced in gameplay felt like a quickfire snipe.

Personally I also like it when the maps allow for verticality and hope the future maps offer more of it.

That is exactly my experience. It's the horrible net code compacted by the excessive speed boost they've given this one and for the sprinkles on top someone decided to give bullets travel time, in a game notorious for net code issues. Really?

You have waaaaay too much health in this game.

We need fall damage, dodge-into-objects damage and one bullet kills (headshot should make the target explode and kill everyone around it as well). It's bullshit that it takes over a second to kill someone.

Could be latency but killcams aren't the best for showing this kind of thing. The only info I try and get from kill cams is what corner the prick was hiding in or what goofy line of sight I got quick scoped in.
Edit ^^ wait, bullets have travel time?^^

I've been doing this with the default class with a launcher on it, but I've only managed to get a single double kill all day. The time-out for getting both kills for the double kill is tiny.

First time playing COD and boy is it a lot of fun. I'm enjoying the boost jumping/dodging and how it seems to baffle some players who can't aim up when I double jump, turn around, and kill them. Add me on PSN to do some TDM/watch me be bad: Acquilae (no mic atm since I'm still debating on which Astro to get).

I get shot by enemies way before they round corners every time in this. This is the worst I've ever seen this problem on any FPS I have played. It's basically unplayable, by the time I see someones shoulder they've shot me to death.

Yeah, I know, the threat grenade is alright in MP, but it's not that. I'm literally taking damage a full second or two before they round a corner. It's like they're out of sync with where the game shows them with how fast everything is now.

BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU
So I've only played 3 or 4 matches but this game feels really cool so far. The double jump and air dash feel really nice and the maps feel like they actually have some decent verticality. Definitely feels more Black Ops than MW, which is great because BLOPS2 was the best cod to date and Ghosts was the worst.


Hardcore mode is pretty sweet too with the mobility plus the things like threat grenades that reduce camping. I swear to god they need to add HC CTF because it's the best game mode ever and was all I played in BLOPS2.
