If everyone is sick of this game that means we can play MWR now, right?

If we're talking some MWR on the xbone, I'd be in.

It works more reliably and fucks the consumer significantly less.

If you're going to live with an abusive spouse, at least pick the one that slaps you, rather than the one that punches you in the nose and gaslights you.

This "netcode patch" for MWR is a joke. It still doesn't feel like COD4, and that game was 100% P2P on consoles.

I bought Titanfall 2 which is the superior game, anyway.

It feels better for me. But I couldn't get an airstrike or a chopper back then and had terrible internet. It feels like everything in Mwr melts you so fast it doesn't matter. What does it feel like to you that you don't like? Are you getting shot around corners or shooting first and not seeing it on the kill cam? I've had very little of that.

I bet I'm the only one left who cares, but today's patch has two new guns and an axe melee weapon. The base variants of the ranged weapons are locked behind challenges: get 200 kills with a weapon from the same category with a prestige accessory equipped.

That's... surprisingly not lovely... for IW?

...so they want people to drop a bunch of money on boxes so they can get a prestige accessory, right? I bet that's the next Quartermaster hack.

What. Prestige accessories are the ones from doing the weapon prestige.

I haven't finished downloading the update, but my interpretation of "prestige accessory" would be the three accessories you get from prestiging a weapon (Dog Tags, DOA, and Demon Skull), which wouldn't require a supply drop.

E: Confirmed

The thread certainly is! :rimshot:

I will say I approve of every change on that balance list.
Too little, too late though. Half the players that still remain are back to BLOPS 3.

It's a sad indicator of just how little people like Infinite Warfare, that nobody bothers to tell how they did, or post screencaps/gifs/videos anymore.

I mean, I'm good with going back to BLOPS3 because I've always feels hanky as gently caress for some reason. The last few times I've actually had enough time to play no one is doing either, so it is kind of a wash.

I did on Xbox One then I just go through the motions of "lets see what I got from the daily reward" like I do with Smite. And when I do feel like playing I just try to see how many people get mad enough to retaliate againstst Stryker's "placable lethals remain after death" trait with trophy systems in FFA.

This reminded me that I got the R-VN out of a box, and while it's novel, it's not very good since Infinity Ward is too scared to add a good burst rifle into the game. The bursts feel quick only because the R3K's bursts are so slow; the burst delay is the standard 200ms. So the bursts aren't that quick in reality, and you have a minimum 2-burst kill, meaning you're at a severe disadvantage up close. It's alright at midrange and the alternate melee mode is more useful and fun than the Type-2's Akimbo mode.

It was amusing how often IW got poo poo on by NV4s during their livestream while using the gun.

I got 3-4 legendaries and 2 epics. The gun is the only one really worth mentioning because it's really good. It's a M1 sidearm that you can reload whenever.

If they're not guns, then they may as well be commons for all the good they do.

Like getting a foil land in Magic: the Gathering.

I kinda wanna buy the Machete variant for the Reaver. Because it looks to be fun in both MP and Zombos.

Is the Reaver on Brecci levels yet or close to it?

Yes

I've made half of a six stack of prestige masters switch to shotguns after tormenting them with a silenced reaver for just a few minutes

Can't recall which variant I use, but it doesn't really matter, it's just solid in general

I picked up some dude's Machete halfway through a match and pretty much worked everyone over with it. The melee is an instakill which is useful as poo poo on a shotgun class.
