Went against my better judgment and decided to get cod points with the 15$ credit PSN promotion from october and I am now convinced I have the worst luck. I got jack poo poo, only common and rares  Appart from that, anyone got the Ripper variant for the RPR? I love the gun by itself and a better fire rate sounds great for it.

My big problem with this (and BO3) is how the minimal is a rectangle and it shows way more stuff to the sides than it does to the front/back. Why is this?

Aesthetic reasons. "People play on widescreen televisions and monitors now, and the map should reflect that for better symmetry!"

AA tests: Black Ops 3 guns had different hipfire aim assist ranges (pistols to ARs etc, as you'd expect). Black Ops 3 guns had the same ADS aim assist range. This let SMGs have as much accuracy at the same range as ARs or LMGs (not accounting for recoil of course). IW guns have different ADS aim assist ranges, again mirroring the gun classes (The LMG hipfire range was different between the two as well I think, I'd have to go look at the footage again). All this really means is SMGs have no aim assist at shorter distances than ARs or LMGs, so they're a bit worse at longer ranges, as you'd expect. Really at the ranges where they lose their AA you probably shouldn't be trying to shoot some dude behind cover aiming at you anyway. If they're oblivious, sure, go for the tapfire long range kill. Optics didn't seem to have any impact on ADS AA range. I only tested gun classes, not specific guns, so it's possible some guns have different distances (though I kinda doubt it). I do wonder if the RPR in AR mode has SMG or AR ads aim assist distance though (or possibly EBR in AR mode as well I guess, I'm not sure it matters much on the Type 2). So the effective AA engagement distances are a bit different between BO3 and IW, but not radically so. I still think the AA in general is weaker in this game, BO3 felt a lot stickier to me, and I've seen a lot less cases of my aim getting pulled hard by enemies, particularly in groups or pairs, or through/behind cover. I'm too lazy to crop a bunch of footage I recorded and XclusiveAce mentioned he's doing a video specifically on aim assist today, so look for pretty graphs and poo poo from him on this topic at some point probably. Network tests: Test your network and get your bufferbloat under control. I dropped my pings from ~130 cumulative up/down to ~40 cumulative up/down. Just go here: http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest Run test, click Results, scroll down to Grade, look at the bufferbloat ping results chart. Head to your router, clamp your upload/download speeds to less than your max. You'll have to fiddle with the numbers depending on your specific network setup, I have 100/100 up/down on fiber and clamping it to 70/5 for the PS4 went from this:  90 avg down/39 avg up To this:  26 avg down/12 avg up If you don't know what the hell any of that means, you can watch this, it might help explain it a bit, maybe not. Your specific router might not have speed adjusting built in (it's called Traffic Shaping on the Verizon router and allows specific up/down settings, it's done as a % slider on the Netduma, I don't know about others). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEOkZiSrEeU Finally, if you don't have Open NAT for some reason, either a) DMZ your PS4 or b) port forward your PS4 (you can google the ports you need) Also that dude reported that instead of dmzing or port forwarding, if you want to use UPnP, rebuilding the database on his PS4 and then launching BO3/IW let it open the ports and allow an Open NAT simply having UPnP enabled on their router. Don't ask me to explain that one (he also said launching an older CoD like Ghosts would always open it, wtf). victrix fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Nov 17, 2016 |

I did that test and got a big fat D for my blufferbloat. I have an average of 723ms of blufferbloat.  I was having problems with Comcast and the tech made me go back to their crappy router/modem combo unit. I cannot control my internet speeds with that so I'm going to buy a better modem so I can use the good router I have again.

As it turns out, a good chunk of people are gonna get at best "C" grades on the BufferBloat category. Apparently modern-day stuff still suffers from it.

Comcast in my area was way better when they first came out here. They got so many customers crammed into each junction box I wouldn't be surprised if that is also a factor.

Is there a list anywhere of which epics are actually any good? I already got the shotgun with the knife on which is hella sweet, but I've got like 4500 scrap and idk which epic to work towards. The Type 2 Butcher could be either super sweet or extremely poo poo. Likewise with the ERAD cerberus. Or the mauler mammoth. Or really any of the hipfire guns I actually like.

NV4 Flatline gets outgunned by other NV4s up close due to its slower fire rate. Ideal use of the Flatline is with a suppressor and trying to engage in fights at range.

What sort of sorcery determines your keys? I play like arse for several games pottering about trying to learn the maps, and get 2-3 keys a game when losing. Then go 'gently caress it' and sprint around in circles with my shiny new molten-camo'ed shotgun, go on a complete murder spree and somehow top the winning team, but only get 1.

Great games tonight, don't think we had a single laggy lobby, the few times we saw laggy players they were most definitely not benefitting from it. Didn't lose a match, and made both a six stack and two lobbies with nuke emblem bros bail out on us. Javes came a hair off getting three RC-8s in one match  Something like 72-7 in KC.Snipers are way less annoying than I thought they'd be, they're actually loving ez to use, just ads and fire, the end. poo poo scopes and not great due to maps/other guns, but meh, not a huge cockblock to Solar/Dark Sky camo progression. Pistols are real loving good. You can use the headshot mod on them while Akimbo

Yeah, I even played some Gun Game, and placed first or second for a handful of matches (so I could get a crate). And melee is one-hit in it. Embrace the humiliations.

With Snipers, this is where you should play Frontline instead. I tried it once on Frontier of all maps, and managed my first 2.0 KDR by simply focusing down the upper middle path. And by also having the purple Oni variant cheese me in some cooler attachments. Also, Longbow needs the Ballistic CPU like god loving drat. And you should try the Duelist class. I think that's akimbo/auto sear/extended mags/rifled barrel on the loving Kendalls.

IW stream live edit: Stream done, you can unclench your excited butts now Patch coming this weekend: Volk getting nerfed (?!) New gun variants coming Hardpoint initial spawns getting tweaked to give a more even run for either team. Hardpoint general spawns will be tinkered with to adjust how far out you need to be from the point to stop nearby enemy spawns. If you're planting, carrying a ball/flag/etc, your cloak drains 2x as fast (~4s cloak, no full defuse) Bullcharge, Reaper, Reactive Armor will all drain faster while carrying objective Rewind/Teleport will drop carried flag/ball Bomb sites getting tweaked in S&D, Precinct, Scorch, Retaliation, Breakout, Frost, Throwback Game modes will be rotated regularly to keep playlists populated (Demolition etc coming) Leaderboards are coming More detailed Combat Record is coming Fix for Prestige unlocking high level Rigs More Nuke weapons will be coming (supposedly Type-2 is coming next) Next weekend will have a totally new mode for ~~~classic CoD fans~~~  Advanced UAV will reveal Ghost They'll take a look at Grip functionality, especially if they feel the need to say nerf the NV4's recoil they might offload the extra accuracy to the Grip instead KBAR is getting a tiny nerf, it has 2 bullet bonus accuracy right now, it'll drop to 1 bullet soon They have longterm plans for updates for the next year Already implemented stuff they've patched: Maximum player speed capped (momentum + combat burst + variant gun speed + man at arms + rushdown etcetc) Daily login bonuses buffed Key gain rate increased PC: lmao you think I'm writing pc notes?

TTK is R3K one burst > KBAR > Volk (BARELY, and slower with ADS time accounted) > Type 2 ~= NV4 (Type 2 is faster in Akimbo mode, but I'm not done doing full ttk stats and too lazy to go faster so meh).

SubponticatePoster posted:No, I don't own the season pass and I get 1.5-2 per match. From the reports it's possible that some people's rates are just bugged/hosed up. It's game mode/time dependent. There might be a small bonus for winning. It's probably just a rough c/p of the BO3 earn rate, which was (roughly) scaled based on the expected time it takes to finish any given game mode. There was an issue with earning keys period, but that's some PC issue with long steam names (lmao PC cod).
