I'm sure this has been asked before, but is there an accepted better/worse on using keys for common or rare crates?

I got my 10 free rares and my COD point rares for a total of 15, and was profoundly unimpressed with the contents.

The stats for BO3 pointed to rares being significantly better. You can potentially get 200 or more salvage too.

Does anyone have any top tips for micro turret placement? I need to get multiple kills with a single turret to unlock a stryker body, but the turrets kind of suck and anyone with a brain can shoot them looong before the turret kills them.

I think I'm done with this garbage heap. Tonight everything went back to being exactly like it was before the qos updates I made. No game is worth constant futzing around with a router just to get it to work. gently caress that. Fix the damned net code, iw.

I'm up to 5 :v: You just have to hope you can babysit it/have team mates distract the enemy.

Made 0 progress with ballista double kills, triple gravity vortex and triple bull charge.

I'm up to 21 turret double kills. I play mostly domination but even then idk how I got that many. I've not got any more in a long time though.

Same with the 0 ballista double kills, and bull charges. I got one triple gravity vortex though.

So many of these challenges seem to rest on the other team being entirely retarded.

The only things that are improved are the UAV, CUAV, and RC-8 (compared to Juggernaut). Everything else is a step back from its equivalent, and given the map design, airborne streaks are even worse.

Warden, Thor, AUAV (after its confirmed buff), RC-8, and AP-3X are all strong. The mid tier streaks are weak due to spawn protection fuckery.

Warden's good for being a fat gently caress and letting me get my dumb fire launcher scorestreak destruction camo.

Yeah, Frontier is a good idea for sniping, especially in Frontline due to consistent spawns. Just aim down hallway and fire at red (or yellow-tinted red) targets.

I like the dragon calling cards. I like getting them. The one I don't like is killing ground scorestreaks with aerial scorestreaks because what the gently caress.

Ghosts made you destroy airborne streaks with a Loki. You basically had to earn it, then purposefully die a bunch in hopes that somebody calls in a Chopper, then call in your Loki and somehow destroy it.

Legacy Edition went on sale on European PSN for €65 (normal price €90 what the gently caress) and I am getting tempted to get MWR for just five europeans above a normal game's price. Maybe IW's campaign is worth that five euros.

But looking at this thread everyone seems to be playing the space poo poo instead of the good poo poo. Is MWR actually bad?

MWR is exactly as it was a decade ago. The problem is you don't really remember how loving terrible it was a decade ago.

I never bothered with that challenge on ghosts, which sounded like a smart decision. The aerial on aerial this time round was easy as the THOR is above most things and as the warden is roughly 9 feet off the ground you could hit it with any offensive aerial scorestreak. Well I never tried the apex but who knows.

I guess once I finish the apex challenge I'll just keep bombardments, scorchers and trinity rockets on hand and only use them when someone calls in a scarab, angry robot thing or a sentry gun they will put under cover.

loving stupid challenge.

I'm playing it because
1.) I'm not the type of person to let a gift go to waste if I can help it
2.) It's the new CoD, and that's where all the goons are. (Gun Game is good though)
3.) No other franchise can program how the right stick works properly.
