To be fair, if this is real, then the only thing really going for it is just the Vietnam settings and maybe a few Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now references. You just can't play COD MP without parties nowadays unless you wanna be a pub star.

Still, firing a muck-covered M60 at a group of enemies while wearing the bloody head of a panther while screaming "we're all animals here" or something.

Bought the Cyclopean. Fun gimmick weapon, but not the optimal choice. Up close, it's like a mini Steel Dragon with less aggressive tracking, but it also doesn't have a maximum range so tap firing is surprisingly effective.

We know the game sold like poo poo compared to previous CODs, no point in hiding the player counts from us. I also like how this post doesn't address any of the major issues the game has, like the minuscule amount of salvage you earn, the terrible netcode (outside of Tactical TDM, anyway), Synaptic's broken hitbox, and the busted party system. Activision rushed the MP portion of this game and it really shows.

I still find it hilarious that with 3 developers working on rotating annual titles there appears to be no loving collaboration on the basic for a FPS poo poo like leaderboards, combat records, replays/theater, even gimmicky poo poo like the MW3 app that let you set up classes outside of the game.

Like all these features should be rolling over and I proving every year, not being made from scratch annually and then releasing them 1/3 into the game's cycle.

Apparently Activision doesn't let them collaborate very much, which would explain why every game feels like its reinventing the wheel. Even something as mundane as autoaim feels completely different in every game.

Just so y'all know I'm not ignoring your invites to shoot mans, I've just been playing Division with a friend. She doesn't own BO3 and feels bad about going really negative in IW (I told her you don't care). I think she's going to a work seminar next week so if that's the case I will come and yell at my TV with you.

Quick question. I bought three copies of this to play with my family who is spread out with the intention of playing zombies or w/e it is called now. One of my cousins ahs a kid and wants to do split screen AND play with us over PSN. Is that possible? OR is that restricted to local only? Just zombie mode, not TDM or the other multiplayer stuff.

It looks like pretty much every other PS4 controller except there's a grip on the back and the four buttons. It's also got trigger stops and a remap chip inside so I can reassign the back buttons on the fly.



Edit: and yes, that is in fact a crocheted blanked from one of my now-deceased grandmothers.

Sorry for the bitchfit tantrum I threw earlier, lost twice in a row to some of the sweatiest tryhard and all I wanted was to relax after a lovely day. Shouldn't have been a massive idiot and kept my frustration to myself, wasn't your fault.

In other news, I have no idea what to use for longer range with ARs other than the NV4. Would the RPR evo regular variant be better for longer range fights? I want something as accurate as the NV4...that isn't the NV4. Maybe I should unlock the M1 next just for that.

M1 yes, also surprisingly the Type 2. It doesn't have a ton of recoil, can be suppressed basically for free with no meaningful damage range loss, and its akimbo mode is one of the fastest killing weapons in the game (assuming shots hit, which they usually don't, cough).

Only problem is its AR mode is the slowest killing AR in the game other than maybe the Goliath so... its not great to be caught up close in AR mode. On the other hand, NV4 does it all the time!

I haven't had great luck with the RPR AR for really long range, its a bit better with the variant that has Focus on it.

R3KT is another possible option, straight vertical recoil is really controllable.

Orrrr, R3K counterbalance + foregrip + zoomed VMC.

Obviously, you're not going to be landing all shots with smgs or high recoil guns at mid/long, but you can pick out the guns that are actually controllable at longer ranges in there easily enough.

I never thought to use the Type 2 as a longer ranged weapon, I'm gonna have to try it out, I remember hearing that with grip it is almost a laser.

As for the REKT, I'm at 3200 salvage, I thought people didn't like it at first but more and more seem to be warming up it, probably will get it once I get that 4k.

R3KT is my main weapon so feel free to grab it and give it a go. As they said it's pure vertical recoil and not even a ton of it at that.
