I doubt I will ever see a nuke killstreak used in IW because it's so hard to stay alive that long.

for what its worth someone put a nuke on us day 1 of the beta, maybe my third game in

haven't seen one since, though. to be honest I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that you're somewhat handicapping yourself by using a nuke-capable gun that doesn't have a boost in another area than it does with people not being able to run 25 kills straight

Goons might have more chances to get one if they played other game modes besides TDM.

I'm glad they IW finally got around to adopting Treyarch's 'loadout selection for campaign' stuff. I'm also glad that they adopted the 'tons of ancillary documents to read' from BO1/3.

IW is easily the grayest and brownest video game in recent memory, even by CoD standards.

It's pretty bad in that regard but it's not anywhere near Ghosts. That game had the worst color palette of any game I think I've played since the PSX era.

Ghosts felt as if Infinity Ward saw people calling CoD games 'brown and grey' and got upset and overreacted, like oh yeah? You think MW2 is 'brown n' bloom', xXCapn_Pri$eXx? You think MW3 is '2gray4me', b0n3rL0rD? Huh? You guys wanna see loving gray and brown, you've got it, gently caress YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I want a CoD that's ultra contrast. Or at least saturated contrast.

Some guns from other COD games were left in the MWR game files, some of the guns associated with the word "LOOT". So be prepared to spend some COD Bit coins on some randomized supply drop weapons in your MWR. :shrug:

TL;DR the NV4 flatline is about 50 RPM slower firing despite having the same fire rate stat.

There were a few guns cut from CoD4 that they might bring in. The LAW, MAC-10, AW-50, etc. And the Brick Blaster which as I recall was just a pistol that launched bricks. I think it was used to test the physics of random objects in the game.

I think I'm finally getting into IW. The netcode is still a loving poo poo show, but I've got a build I like now:

Attack Attack Attack
Synaptic - Rewind - Propulsion
ERAD Reckoning (Jackpot) + Quickdraw/Stock
Overclock - Hardline & Cold Blooded - Gung Ho & Dead Silence
Personal Radar
UAV - CUAV - Whatever (Adv. UAV)

A run and gun Info War class that gives you a full heal and ammo refill every... I dunno, 20 or 30 seconds, and/or saves your rear end. It's fast, believe me. CUAV so you don't need Ghost, and Cold Blooded to stop Personal Radar. With Jackpot and Hardline, it's all about ramping up those early streaks as fast as possible. Alternately, use a gun with Gambler like the Type-2 Enforcer, and sub out Gung Ho for attachments.

While it's not quite spreadsheets, it lines up pretty closely with my impressions and it confirms that ARs are the way to go in this game for me. Maybe I'll make a chart or two later tonight.

If it helps, imagine 250 inches being about 6 or so meters.

For reference, putting the RPR Evo into AR mode gives it a 40 meter 3-shot range, assuming Rifled Barrel. Though in practice, it really does boil down to connection and tactics and whatnot.
