New mission team coming. And the final gift is a KBAR nuke variant, so maybe we will see a little less CoD: Infinite NV4fare?

Now it will just be KBAR warfare.

Kbarfare is massively preferred. poo poo players are poo poo with the Kbar. Mediocre players with an NV4 at medium range are loving irritating.

I doubt nuketards will jump ship to it, but maybe it'll cause a spike in newbies switching off the NV4 to the Kbar, I'd be all for that.

I love the Kbar so I'm all for this. Pubbies don't know how to control recoil properly, so something like the NV4 was excellent for them.

You ever do the chicken dance at a wake? That really bothers people.
...Am I the only one who's pissed that the blue ice camo everyone got for free from the holiday drop looks so much like the diamond camo I worked painfully for?

the M1 is good; arguably better than the DMR even w/ the 1-shot headshot buff they added to it

M1 is better. It's not even a contest. Rate of Fire, low recoil, and follow up accuracy wins. Add 12 rounds and it's the M14 reborn.

Is this what it feels like to be Macys or Jones? Connections have been stable for me except for this game tonight, where my shot disappeared despite being on the other player according to the frame analysis and then I get bullshitted.

Yeah, basically, though not quite that blatant usually.


More like getting three or four hits into a guy's face with the RAW/NV4 while they're lying down in lethal range, and losing because apparently headshot multipliers simply don't exist.
Or no hits at all even when they're standing still, then opening fire and immediately winning.
Plus, the typical hit first/die first paradigm that's emblematic of this game and pre-patch BLOPS 3. I get a lot of Goddamned hits first, and this game simply fucks me because I'm not in America.
I've done everything I can to lower my ping short of moving to a server city and buying a fibre optic connection. It just doesn't matter; it's a lottery.

Yup. That's exactly what it looks like when I'm hollering "gently caress you, I'm around a corner!"

Or getting 6-8 hitmarkers and then still dying, only to see when on my screen I was mag-dumping the guy but on the killcam I'm just coming around the corner.

Howitzer done, never have to touch that piece of poo poo again. I think they knew it was flaming garbage too because getting diamond launchers gave me like 40k xp for that match.

Re-download blops 3 and play it with me. It's so much better of an experience all around and there are plenty of Christmas noobs so it's well populated.

You've got it wrong; it's not that the games that got two years of play (MW1 & 2, BLOPS 1 & 2) were so good, it's that the games that succeeded them were that bad.
And, bad as IW is, it's not bad enough.

For one thing, IW has better maps for Dom.

s/o to revo for getting the necessary kills but having the 25th happen as the 100th kill in TDM

Actually, I prefer 90% of the BLOPS 2 and BLOPS 3 maps when it comes to Dom. IW just has better maps than Ghosts and AW.

It was the pubbie we had in that match that got the 99th kill I believe.

I died two off a nuke on Scorch with the Kbar :( Was pretty bummed, that map is a bitch to stay alive on. Unfortunately it was KC and I had 23 kills with 25 seconds left, and the spawns flipped. Couldn't find anyone until 8 seconds left and died to the only visible pubby.

Love that Kbar though, great gun, and the nuke variant isn't even the best one.

Nah, the killcam showed revo getting her 25th for the nuke... and then accidentally getting killcam because one of the enemy pubs ran in front of the person that just got killed.

At least that's how I saw it.

Ah. Perhaps. I didn't watch the final killcam. I thought someone said the pubbie killed someone.
