Drift0r defended Tmartn when his csgo scamming scheme was found out and he's been caught taking money from activision to promote the serie, saying jackshit about it. He's an opportunist and the cod gravy train is running out, he couldn't straight up say that so he came up with an excuse that IW is simply bad.

If you want a youtuber that does decent indepths for current cod I recommend this guy https://www.youtube.com/user/TheXclusiveAce/featured he's solid and provides decent info about the proper range each guns are their best in.

Appart from that I've been using the type 2 for longer ranges and had a decent time, I'm gonna unlock the M1 soon and see how it stacks up. As for the HVR I'm trying to get Wraith mission team to level 30 so I can get the Carnage variant that extends the range on it. Want to see if I can turn it into a decent 3 hit kill smg.

The M1 is a beast, but it lacks the additional rounds necessary to make it truly awesome.

m1 with exmags gives you plenty of shots to deal with groups up to 3 (and 4 is possible if you have decent shot discipline). running dexterity and the hornet gives you plenty of wiggle room w/r/t up close 'oh poo poo' moments while also reducing the headache of having to reload after most encounters. it's Very Good and I'm surprised it took tryhards this long to realize that

it's very noticeably worse after the recoil nerf. that being said it's still good, just not nearly as dominant as it was before

As a person who luckboxed the Big Brother early on lemme tell ya that the Big Brother is only good if you wanted mini-maps as you snipe. It also has Stockpile for some reason.

Turns out my router is screwing up, and that packet loss the game was noticing is happening with everything on my connection. I just bought a Netgear WNDR3400 about 4-5 months ago. I can't put DD WRT on it, what should I get?

I guess that's why I never saw the value in it: Because I used the Big Brother while solo instead of with goons. But tell ya what. If we ever get into a party, I'll run Big Brother for a few matches.

Unrelated, but that new Zombies map is trying to be 90s now. I would be excited, but then I thought about it and yeeeeah I think I'll check out KF2 a bit more in-depth. Even with licensed music, I bet Smack My Bitch Up ain't even close to being in that map.

The networking thread has some interesting options. I'm not sure about a Nighthawk anymore because there was a security flaw in their software for several months and Netgear didn't bother to do anything about it until people complained.

Can you be more specific? Do you mean different streaks at the same cost as others, or lovely 'make them more expensive' AW style variants?

In case anyone didn't see the datamined post on reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinitewarfare/comments/5q030w/scorestreak_variants_coming_to_a_supply_drop_near/

UAVs that give more assist points sound cool. Warden having an extra flare seems pointless given it's easier to just shoot it down with bullets. The only way to make scorchers, bombardment, trinity better is to remove spawn protection but I don't see them doing that. That seems like something they would change across the board and not in a variant, but in the brave new world of supply drops who knows! Maybe I'm weird but I like scorestreak variants, more variety makes the game more fun!

What's worse is, UAVs used to be 3 killstreaks, or 300 points by today's logic.

And in Dom, they'd be 225, if I'm not mistaken.

In Black Ops 1, a UAV is three kills. Hardline is a flat -1 to kill streak requirements.

Dom/KC kills in IW are only 75 points, not 100, as they are in TDM.
