my 1.8 gig IW update is going painfully slow. seems like its going to be more like a hour and a half

The file scanning process is the longest part of updates on PS4. None of my other consoles do that.

I spent half of last night sitting a scarab near major wall run areas and let me tell you: people do not wall run as much as you want. the only time I saw someone some bitch on my team jumped over my scarab and killed the guy wall running whilst he himself was wall running just as I detonated it.

I don't know why I do challenges on this game they are torture

From my experience of putting cryomines on walls, the only map that they will constantly wall run on is Breakout.

The air challenges are beyond stupid. Ten triple kills with bombing streaks that are affected by spawn protection. I called in a triple bombardment on an open air hardpoint claimed by the enemy team and got zero kills :downs:

Oh and blow up ten ground based scorestreaks with air based streaks. Sure. Like pubbies call in ground based streaks? Like you're going to hit a loving Scarab with one?

I also like the buzzkill challenge on Active Camo, it's even worse than the Heat whatever one from BO3. I think it unlocks at 54? I'm like 7th prestige and I think I have 2 camo kills.

This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: you hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the posts from the screams.
Active Camo was (still is) comically bad in Black Ops 3, it should be called 'spooky ghost mode' and last forever because all it does is turn you a bit grey. Of course I play on minimum settings so that might have something to do with it :v:

I don't know who thought the Brecci or the Ripper were good ideas but I'm still not complaining

Feel free to remember that a trinity rockets triple kill does not count because...*shrugs*

I think only my warden and ap3x have ever counted for that?

I'm on 4/10 on air to ground. Don't expect it to be past 6/10 by the next COD.

Also the map that is in space and on fire or whatever? If you miss the ground on it and your trinity rocket goes through into space, sit tight for the time limit to run out. I just spent 10 seconds waiting for my last rocket to maybe hit space debris or infinity wards office.

E: got my scarab wall ride on Frost the very next game. I love you Frost. Got my ground streaks master card and never have to use a scarab again. I am also in love with the karma-45. It's blowing my k-bar, OSA and ripper games out of the water.

Guess as I still have to get my dragon master card...hmm...scorchers, bombardment and warden? Need a lone triple kill and 6 air to ground.

It's not an Infinity Ward game if the ARs don't outclass SMGs.

i also realized there's a sweet spot with jumping that you can dial in where your fall speed comes close to matching (or matches) your recoil rate so correction is unnecessary on a stationary enemy or one that is moving directly towards/away from you

I forgot about the MTAR. That was a solid gun, but then I switched to the Honeybadger and never looked back. Putting in a silent AR with no range penalties was not very bright.

SMGs really sucked after the Ripper came out. They tried to buff the SMGs, but they went too far and dialed it back. Even the CBJ was good for a bit. The Bizon was absurd because it received the same range buff as the other SMGs, but its rate of fire was so high it outclassed the rest.

Of course, it was only nerfed because of MLG. :negative:

It depends on who you play with. Usually only a small portion of goons end up getting all the DLC so you don't end up playing the new stuff anyway. If you primarily play solo or with friends who do have it then...maybe? BO3's first map pack ended up being poo poo but I liked the last 3. I think there were a couple of maps that I ended up playing a grand total of once or twice though :lol:

Got to say I'm liking MW:R more then IW the more I play both. IW unfortunately really doesn't have the feel of a well put together game MP wise. Blops 3 was good in this respect and I think Treyarch is now the "A team" studio wise for me at least.

My speculation: Ghosts 2 got cancelled so one year from the 3 YEAR DEV CYCLE went out the window. Then IW spent their time budget on single player and zombies while waiting on orders from Activision about whether to copy Black Ops 3 for MP. MWR does show its age with the speed of the game and the various quality of life improvements made in CoD since 2007, but I think the maps and gunplay are both significantly ahead of IW. (P.S. everybody I wouldn't mind if we just played Black Ops 3 for another year)

I am beginning to truly despise Frontier now that pubbies are turtling up specifically on that map. It's so closed that you can't just jump straight over the pubbies and there's only really one lane of attack. Mid-map is clunky as well.

What's the purpose of the EBR again? I think it's supposed to be like the Barrett of old games but you can't spam the trigger? It definitely didn't feel as good as the Longbow when I used the old Epic EBR I got from a box.
