all killscorestreaks have nothing on MW2 (why make remote turret manual?!), in fact, there's no point in bothering with scorestreaks at all.

Maybe I'm not understanding you, but there are about a dozen scorestreak options, and each of those options have about eight configurable options that will make the cost more.

One of those options is to make the turret fully automated.

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.

Yeah despite the remote sentry being the best killstreak in the game, it is really the worst killstreak in the game.

Points are better spent on paladin killstreaks, because, lets be honest, you're gonna get one eventually.

Turret is good for zombies mode but yeah otherwise it's garbage. First few days I was wondering why it never fired off a single round when I deployed it...

It's not bad, but grip/quickdraw/thermal IMR has been my weapon of choice for the most part. Even better with the 'feedback' one I got in a supply drop with a higher rate of fire.

They lowered the kills required for camos, but I also think they made it so you can't unlock the camos if you did not have enough kills/headshots/whatever for the old requirements but have more than enough for the new numbers.

Bought this game despite swearing to never buy another CoD after Blops 2, then Ghosts. I think I might have a brain tumor.

Pleasantly surprised with multiplayer though, the movement system gives it a nice open feeling it sorely needed. And yet people still camp corners :negative:

Also, ATI released a new beta graphics driver for most cards today, after installing that, most of my FPS issues were alleviated and I can actually load into a game and not get insane frame drops when i see someone from the other team.

I'll take back SOME of the criticism, Hardcore Domination, like in all CoDs lately, does comes to rescue and makes almost every other gun besides fastest-fire-rate submachine guns playable also. In fact, you can ever pick up something as unbelievable (in late cod games) as sniper rifle and actually use it. Because HC Dom games are much more campy and much less crazy-ten-year-old-flying-whoo sprayfests so you have time to go prone and line up a shot and all that.

That said, HC mode makes akimbo submachine no-aim gunners deadlier also. But I guess it balances out in HC (unlike vanilla modes). The one-shot railgun thing is still useless and that continuous laser gun (EM1 or whatever) feels like cheating in HC. Luckily, noobs using it are badmouthed quickly enough. And it's crazy fun using Exo Stomp on capture point B in Terrace (the map with nighttime luxurious hotel thing) and clear out all the campers. I got some bloody shoes and shin guards and whatnot. Pity that I have to use lowest texture options to have any reasonable fps (on Intel i-7, 16GB RAM and Nvidia GTX590, what the flying gently caress?!). "Low" in Cod:AW apparently means "lowest than goddamn Quake 1".

Oh well. I've been playing about 17 times today and not a single time I've exited the game properly, due level loading getting stuck and "synchronizing" phase. Thanks for another crappy, unoptimized, buggy console port. I wish general consumer protection laws would start to apply to game developers too. What would happen if you buy a car that explodes randomly, gas pedal gets stuck every now and then and you'd have to scrap hood, hub caps and muffler to make it even start?

Protips:

If matchmaking takes forever, go to customization and enter firing range. Helps to kill boredom, and does not interrupt matchmaking
Go to armory and redeem poo poo you don't want to use/wear for XP - helps to unlock stuff you want quicker

What kind of sick gently caress wants another WW2 game in the YOOL 2014.

Besides, AW is mercs vs mercs, so it's got a reasonably even racial spread.
