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.

Yeah its probably my favourite part of the game atm. I play as the stryker with the hardened perk so I can put the things all over.

'Cancer cryo mines' I believe they're called now.

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.

I did a number of speed tests using that tool posted a couple pages ago and then averaged those out and took 90% of the values. Then I enabled QoS on my router (quality of service) and put the calculated numbers in. I've been way more consistent with this trash heap since and regularly go positive as a result. The number of bullshit deaths is minimal in comparison and I believe Orbital and Javes can attest that I'm bitching far less the last couple days. :-)

I did that test but under bufferbloat and speed it has a null response. :(

e: also my connection speed varies wildly based on which device I'm using. My personal laptop usually gets around 24-30mbps which isn't surprising considering it's older and running on a lovely standard wifi card. My PS4 is hardwired and can pull connections of anywhere from 6 to 80mbps and it's not predictable at all. My work computer is hardwired and it gets around 100mbps consistently so gently caress if I know which of these speeds I should use for traffic shaping. You'd think the ps4 would get about the same as the work computer since they're both hardwired and I just got the Pro so it should have high speed ethernet.

Guess I can try DMZ'ing or port forwarding

Got my first epic gun, avalanche pistol.

It's actually not that bad when paired with a sniper, it's a good "oh poo poo" weapon. I saw some of you use the Ripper RPR-Evo variant, how is it?

I crafted the Ripper yesterday and I can definitely feel the RPM increase in smg mode, not sure if it affects AR mode. Curious what effect, if any, the higher RPM has on its TTK though. The reduced idle sway is definitely helpful in AR mode. They gave it increased recoil to compensate for its faster RPM, not enough to ruin the gun though. If you like the RPR I'd recommend crafting it.

So far the boxes are giving me a sidearm collection.



My mission teams are 12000 XP a level now which seriously slows down the rate. So much for getting that 8000 salvage without 200 hours played.

The avalanche (epic emc) has been really nice for me, the burst is fast and fires 7 rounds.. Slapped on the headshot thingie and things melt if they get near me.. It's a excellent secondary weapon when I'm using a sniper or something more long-ranged oriented.

Edit: Glad to hear the ripper has better fire rate in smg mode, that's what I mainly use anyway. I only need 4k salvage to craft it and I'm nearing it.

It's not what kind of crate you buy, it's how much Activision and IW hate your guts.

Besides, there's better guaranteed rares in Mission Teams. Only 17 more levels until I get the FHR Windfall. :shepface:

I don't know if using one of the game's best setups - a silenced NV4 or RAW with Ghost - really counts as a gimmick. A real gimmick in IW would be using a whole team using shotguns.

What the gently caress kind of hidden mode is that. Does it have camos and supply drops. Can I use my MP/ZM variants in this new mode. Is that mode's netcode up to snuff. Does it bring much to the table. How many others are playing this "Cam-pay-ne" concurrently. Can we whale on this mode.

Karma-45 feels so good and there are like two or three excellent variants of it. Feels like... I'm not sure, a 'classic' CoD sub? Feels good.

I think the HVR is probably still better, than thing loving melts up close because of the 3sk at point blank, but man you can go on some runs with a Karma that has a monster mag.

Karma is a reskin of the Vector from MW2, iirc (just has 2 mags instead of 1). I have a purple variant and I like it quite a bit myself.

Someone datamined the game and got some info. That new NV4 variant sounds absurdly powerful, it excels in every scenario. Also, is man-at-arms really all that necessary for an 8% movement speed increase? Infusion is a tough trait to give up. The payload cooldown timers were posted as well and phase shift has the fastest charge rate despite being arguably the best ability in the game.

Well, they managed to balance the Flatline make the Flatline a worse choice than stock in spite of its amazing ability, so maybe there's a hidden stat nerf that'll keep it in line (please god)

Also, you mentioned getting 2000 scrap for completing a Mission Team recently. I got Orion Initiative to 50, and that didn't happen. Is it like prestiging where you have to complete a secret, extra level?

I believe you get 2000 salvage through the process of leveling the mission team to 50. Adding up the 150-300 salvage you get periodically from them supposedly adds up to 2000.

Speaking of salvage, where are you supposed to earn it once you level up all 4 mission teams? I've already finished 2 of them and it's not even December yet. Yes, I realize I've poopsocked this game but still. They need to refresh their stock with new guns or add a prestige system to the mission teams or something.

You don't. You get your unpredictable rare crates and the daily login. I'd like to see an average of what rares pay out to get an idea of the rate, from the screenshots of 11 rares I kept it averaged to 40 a crate.
