There's a pretty sweet unlimited XP glitch on CTF (with the FTL rig) going on.

Target has the Legacy Edition for $54 this week. I figure this is from EA cutting the prices of BF1 and TF2.

i didn't want this to be true but until IW stops with the loving obnoxious weapon unlock chains, IW doesn't feel fun. It's all in my head I'm sure, but man those orange guns seem much better than my gray and blue quality guns. I picked up TF2 last week and haven't touched MWR or IW since this morning to try the CTF bug. Even then, I wasn't unlock poo poo. I might try IW/MWR again but I would suggest people grab TF2 for $35 if they're not craay about IW/MWR in their current states.

Quite a few orange guns are outright worse, or weird sidegrades.

Don't worry, if you're getting your rear end kicked, it's not the color of the guns doing it.

Some of the rare and legendary guns are free upgrades with some nifty perks, but those are wildly cheaper to buy with salvage if you don't luck into them.

Since data is now being pulled to the front, apparently the Flatline has WORSE fire rate than baseline, and in fact Vigilance has the highest fire rate.

Plus the Orange Longboner just adds map. I forget the other benefit but basically you snipe pre-IW. I just use it on Frontier, since all the other maps don't seem to have a decent sightline or whathaveyou.

The vigilance stuff is bullshit, be careful of info from driftor or tmartn, they're phoning iw vids in. Xclusive ace is doing hand testing that has been pretty accurate so far.

The flatline rof is slower though, and the nv4 is already slow.

How would the dog wear goggles and even more than that, who makes the goggles?


the main really good guns arent the orange ones. Basically any of the ones with reduced recoil are good because of foregrips not working at all. Reduced recoil on already low recoil guns is great, reduced hip spread on good hipfire guns is great, but a lot of the oranges are just like, bad.

Like the KBAR orange is just a kbar with hollowpoints but a penalty to leg shots. The NV4 has a longer damage range but fires slower so you'll lose any close range contests vs regular nv4s. A few of the other oranges are just the regular gun with a different sight on it.

I have enough scrap to craft an orange and I don't know what to go for. All the really good oranges seem to be from the mission teams.

Foregrip does work, more bull from driftor getting spread. Grip benefits vary based on the specific gun.

The Epic RAW is great. You can't reload it, but you can slap a battery on it and have infinite ammo.

I loved the epic RPR from the beta, though it did apparently get nerfed from then. Also if you like semi-autos the epic Volk might be worth it because IW didn't add a normal semi-auto AR.

I finally got my Battle Beaver last night and it's getting returned. My hands cramp up hard, and my control in the air is worse than with Bumper Jumper. The controller is well-built and the Smart Triggers are really nice, but it's just not for me. My only options left are XIM or Elite + CronusMax, both of which are more expensive with significant drawbacks. :sigh:

What about the gun that gets bonus damage for shooting people in the dick? Is that worse than a regular gun? I ask because I already shoot everybody in the dick.

Better off taking the 3 bonus perk one. I find the base recharge rate is good enough that you never need to reload anyway ( the things I could've done with this gun in BLOPS 3... :allears: ), and it even has extended damage range.

Stats aren't as accurate, decreasing stat might not give a good indicator on what to do, et cetera. Said everyone else.

Plus I just don't look at fire rate changes per variant.

Had my best game in a while, kill confirmed, 6k points, we're 98 vs 70 point and just about to win.

Kicked, get a weirdo error message about the game not sending MUA/TUA something, get jack poo poo rewards.

Got cheated out of a double xp near perfect game due to dumb garbage on part of the game, love it. It's funny how mad I am about this right now.

I'm aware it's not an accurate indicator, but if you're going to stat whore, one should be more diligent about it.

I figured out how I'll make it through the pistol kills calling card without losing my sanity, and it is Auto Sear, Akimbo, Laser Sight, Suppressed Kendalls. The reload is a little screwy (the ammo moves from reserve to gun very late in the animation), and the magazines are a bit small, but you can win fights at surprising range.

I'm definitely not paying another cent toward this game, despite the qos settings helping substantially with the game. Oh and getting the raw benediction out of a crate. That gun owns.

Could be worse. You could have paid for a Nuke variant only for it to not really matter even after getting a 25 kill streak.

Also the Orange Longboner just gives more ammo. :laffo:

Edit: Also you could have paid for said Orange Longboner, but every game you get into has countless CUAVs up somehow.

I'm not sure when it changed but putting cryo mines on wallride areas over death drops (like that curved part on frost) give you an assisted suicide kill. I'm fairly sure that didn't happen when the game first came out. If I remember right I'd just get a hit marker and they'd show up in the kill feed as a dumb dummy.

This makes it the best part of the game.

They may have to take a harder look at ftl in general, with the way it gives medals for failed jumps it seems like only a matter of time before another instance like this happens with some other medal.

What are the settings that help? Fired it up last night and the shitfuck connection had me going like 8-24 because I could not kill fuckall. I enjoy this when it works, I just want it to work more often.
