I am playing for double XP. I have learned that core is somewhat better than HC, which is a horrible clusterfuck in this installment (and, as DJ lamented, has no HCKC). If anyone else is on, my gt is Jack5434.

I'd take Rewind over Phase Shift, FTL Jump, or Camo. You get a free health, deployables, and a mag refresh, and you're usually in a superior position. It's also one of the fastest charging abilities. Who needs Scavenger or Resupply, when you have Rewind? And the MacTav owns. If you combine it with the Soap calling card, the British flag emblem, and the [Soap] clan tag, your KD will improve twenty percent.

I think I've tried Rewind a few times, but the main issue is the same with Prophet's Glitch: Actually timing yourself to use it. But here it's better since, as you said, full refresh and free re-positioning.

The Hailstorm even has the same damage as the R3K. If all 3 bullets don't hit the upper chest or head, you'll probably die. You gotta sneak up on people. I almost got a 15 gunstreak with the Hailstorm last night just being careful. I think I'll use it with my shotguns. I don't have a fast enough trigger finger for the semi auto pistols.

Found out that you can once again airburst C4.  I know what my next permanent unlock is going to be.Also as per usual in games not made by Treyarch, AUAV is absolute poo poo. And whose bright idea was it to have Care Package be unlocked at level 51?

did i mention that SMGs are absolutely insane as a two point secondary? when you factor in that they mostly have good irons (or built in optics) there is functionally no reason to equip a pistol (especially considering how weak they are) if you're using a primary that has any sort of real range issue (e.g. snipers close up, shotguns pointed at anything farther than 3 millimeters away) equip a smg as your secondary for any time you're out of optimal range and watch your kd skyrocket IM DAY DAY IRL fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Nov 27, 2016 |

ERAD has too much recoil, even with a grip. If you're going to use a 5-6 hit gun, use the Type-2 instead. And the best secondary is the NV4.widespread posted:Care Package seems to be for balancing reasons. AUAV takes three rockets to kill and can at least see Ghost users. How is it poo poo?

I'm saying they're intentionally loving poo poo players by restricting their streak access. Especially when levelling speed is contingent on performance. I mean, come on; when was the last CoD to basically have non-stop double XP since launch? It's been three weeks and it's still going.

Oh god that sounds like a terrible future for Future CoD. I'd rather they throw bad players a bone. And by that I mean buff Persistence, salvage after matches (or even DURING, just have enemies drop a bit or ten after they die), just loving ANYTHING to people that have a difficulty dropping a 1.0 KDR every match. Like myself, and probably a few others. I mean poo poo, one of my favorite things I learned about Ghosts' MP is that Support users don't have to go on streaks to get goodies. Just kill normally (or assist with Hardline), and sure enough you'll have Sat Coms, Ammo Crates, and even a Juggernaut variant. But I guess at the end of the day, this shootmans series finds ways to shrivel up. For some reason or another. Kinda reminds me of a concern about Overwatch, where they IMMEDIATELY wanted to cater to competitive crowds and eSports poo poo and oh god I'm ranting again in the shootymans in space thread again.

Like myself, and probably a few others. I don't really thinking catering to the competitive COD community has really paid off. It's boring as hell to watch, so nobody is watching it on Twitch. The problem is that this community is incredibly vocal, so their requests tend to be fulfilled. A good example is the Volk nerf. I wish they would just go back to the 3-5-7 killstreak system. It's morphed into this ridiculous thing the average player doesn't care about. It assumes that people only play objective game modes and actually play the objective. Most COD players play Team Deathmatch, so they don't give a poo poo about the objective. Overwatch was tailor made for the competitive Team Fortress 2 community who got sick of Valve doing jack poo poo for their game so what Blizzard is doing there actually makes sense. That game has plenty of casual game modes, though.

To be honest, I thought they were also catering to people with what I call "the McDonalds wifi", but then I realized that bad netcode is still a thing regardless of quality. But yeah, why can't the balance be "high damage/low ROF to low damage/high ROF but all guns in those ranges have the exact same ttk". Also why not make the NV4 a 5HK since it's practically laser-like as it is. That kind of killstreak system would work, but I'd also tack on a Support kit for the people who can't go on streaks. Like, Kills/Points for Support/Objective, Gun Kills for Assault. Maybe have Specialist be prestige locked or not in at all. But yeah, I see why complex systems would drive away people who just want to shoot mans. And with Overwatch, it just has a weird feel. Can't pinpoint what it is, but like, it just feels off at times. Even if one of the casual modes is literally half of what SnD is.

Anybody having the issue where you can't find a single match? I downloaded all the DLC and gold edition via a Flash sale on PS4. I played a few matches and now no games are found. Also, how do I actually start Zombies in Spaceland? My only options are Exo Survival and Exo Zombies.

IM DAY DAY IRL posted:I have no clue what you're talking about; there are an abundance of bones being thrown to poo poo players as evidenced by dying right off your streak from a claw wielded by a guy going 5-23. Ennh, wrong. Game balance has been consistently shifted to favor the already good ever since MW3 (Support in Ghosts was pretty poo poo, let's be honest here). BLOPS 1 was the last game to significantly provide real boosts to garbage players in the form of Hardwired providing a flat -1 to kills required (thereby giving the biggest discount to 3-4-5 -> 2-3-4- (and they were still lucky if they could even get 2) and Hacker allowing crate rerolls (which, not coincidentally, aren't allowed in this game). Obvious example is Hardwired in IW having a limit to its bonus (400 points) per life, and UAV priced such that it still takes four kills (100->125 points/kill, 400 required), even with it. As for dying to the Warfighter's penny launcher, it's the best shotgun in the game; you deserve to die to it if you're not host, and in the hands of good players, you have even less of a chance against some poo poo aiming stoner. Stuffing newbs and drunks isn't a problem, it's the people who can aim. The Dragon is still better, even with the finite range.

Campaign, I haven't tried yet. Zombies Mode is... actually debatable. On one end, it's not Extinction. On the other, you can just level guns up for MP and get keys for MP without touching MP. This includes any Classic weapons you may come across, with the M1 possibly being your first maxed weapon due to costing $500 AND the synergy it has with two decent cards (Eagle Eyed/Scoped Dollars). Some people even go and upgrade the gun instead of trading it out for the NV4.
