Yup, I was pretty decent at MW3 and BLOPS2 on the 360. Just bought a xbox one and I am sucking poo poo at this game. I've gone back to my tried and true method of shooting down UAVs and other air stuff go get some easy points and hopefully make my lovely rear end less easy to find and kill so I can hopefully get better :downsgun:

If you can get over the fact that the Bull Charge immediately ends when you hit a wall and it's easy to be killed during it, it's my favorite toy in Hardpoint second to being an rear end in a top hat that throws seeker grenades at people. I found out during a panic throw that if you throw a seeker and it lands right on a person it counts as a STICK while it grabs the person's face before exploding.

Today I had a much better experience with lag, I was able to win gunfights and had a pretty good time.

Now I'm at a point, however, where I don't know if I won because the fight was fair, or because the lag advantaged me and the other team had to deal with terrible delays/instant deaths.

I'm wondering the same thing. Most of the games I played with you today went fine and I was positive. But there were a couple when I'd shoot first and die first. I hope they get it consistent for everyone soon.

[Witty observation]
Beyond the actual gameplay issues, this stupid game is just criminally lacking in personality and feedback. I'm legitimately struggling to tell maps apart. I think they could merge Scorch, Mayday and Stardock into a single map and people would be hard pressed to notice. Good luck figuring out that an enemy has their super before you die, because there are literally no audio cues, and the visual cues are worthless. I have newfound appreciation for all the work Treyarch did making supers easy to read at a distance. No leaderboards, no stats, not even a goddamn medal viewer. The gently caress did they put their three years of effort into?

Also, anybody started progressing Strike Team 7 or the Wraiths? I gave up on ST7 when the second challenge I got was to kill two people with one lethal (good joke, game), and I'm wondering if all the challenges suck that badly. Also curious what kinds of challenges you get with the Wraiths.

Yeah i use the RAW with quick draw and stock and it owns. 3 hit kill at any range (as far as i can tell) and steady as a rock. Almost never need to reload it. Almost never run out of ammo. The only thing that gets me in SMG dudes getting in my face. Even those i can still win half the time.

Protip: I use double radars and the warfighter perk that lets me restock more radars when i kill someone. Almost no one uses Cold Blooded. So enjoy your constant wallhacks.

The first couple missions ST7 give you revolve around equipment and grenades unfortunately but they eventually give you more varied ones, like call in aerial streaks or the general kill missions. Haven't used wraith much but it seems they revolve around simple kill/headshot missions.

MWR and IW take up 104 GB together. Since the PS4 starts complaining after 400 GB with the stock drive, the two games take up a quarter of your disk space.

i had forgotten i was using an old SSD i stuck in there with a pretty limited capacity, so that would explain my complaint. went out and grabbed a 500gb 850 evo for $170 instead

The impression I'm getting is that people who buy this for multiplayer are likely going to be disappointed unless they feel like dropping $80 for MWR, and people who buy this for single player are better off waiting for a sale. Is that a safe assessment?

I think part of that is just that the game is sort of floaty in a way. For some reason I have trouble accurately moving my sticks in a way I don't have in BLOPS3, even turning the sensitivity up doesn't help, I just jump all over the place instead. It's like there's a joystick deadzone.

I wish I understood the netcode in this game. It's so unbelievably inconsistent. Earlier today I hopped on and did pretty well. Most matches were 1.0 - 2.0ish. Then this evening I couldn't kill anyone and was averaging between 0.4 and 0.6 every game. I just hopped on and played three matches and got 2.0 - 3.0 in all of them. According to Reddit I'm not the only one experiencing this.

Ah, launch weekends...

Not knowing if someone has their super is one of my bigger complaints. The only ones I can tell are FTL and Phase Shift. The Equalizer is especially annoying because it's silenced, so you can't tell where an Equalizer is on the map by looking at the killfeed/map skulls. And it might be way harder to counter supers in IW as well because of a lack of weak points.

This is a nice segue to say that Kinetic Armor feels more powerful in this game. I don't think there's the headshot counter to Kinetic Armor in IW, and it feels like you can take more damage as well.

E: I just realized there's no semi-auto AR in the base game. All there is is a Volk variant and the M1. :wtc:

I wonder how far into Ghosts 2 they got before they realised they had to snuff it out?

Also, pubs need to learn to shoot down the loving air support in this game. Pretty much every game I play there are a thousand UAVs up that only I shoot down, and all my teams seem content to let Wardens pulverise them without attacking it.

I just got a full refund for the $80 from Microsoft. The single player campaign for IW is ok, but the multiplayer is a broken mess of a gray spaceman shooter with zero personality and a bunch of missing or broken systems. I might play it in a few months if they make it not so boring, but I'm not counting on that happening.
