What was the last game with good in-game party chat? Or is it more a PlayStation thing? I don't recall ever having issues on the 360.

360's ingame voice chat was great. PS3, PS4, and Xbone's is terrible.

No, it alternated with the developer. Treyarch's chat codec was always crap. Infinity Ward's was generally better every time.

I'm watching someone stream IW with the Captain Price voice pack. Some of the lines are just copy-pasted from previous CODs, and they don't mesh well with the new lines. Also, they didn't bother to make him say lines for everything, so there's still a different announcer for UAVs and certain streaks.

They added contracts. Mine was 25 kills before/after using a taunt. I'm saving it for next week (apparently new guns come out then). No word if it's dupe protected.

R70 Ajax:
- About ten ammo too little for its damage
- Needs Stock. All LMGs do, really.
- Add Laser/Quickdraw/Both to round it out
- Great recoil/accuracy
- More like a Dingo with faster reloading and accuracy, than a weak BRM
- BRM is still better for pure "holding the line" damage and capacity. (Nuketown/Redwood)
- Because Scavenger isn't necessary, it's actually a good gun for a no equipment run & gun build.

Galil:
- Needs both Stock & Fast Mags. This is not optional.
- Hits pretty hard and fast; ROF of the HVK, with almost the damage of the Man O' War.
- Not as accurate at range as the original. Closer to the Kuda, with an upper-left recoil bias

It's the reason I never touched the other LMGs except to get gold/diamond on them. Even the Ajax, although I probably should have been spending time finishing off the SVG... But I got a whole three-day weekend to play and get my diamond snipers. Then all I've got to do is the pistols :D

Oh, I know. I went to Hardcore for the drakon and brecci/haymaker headshots. But oddly, dual wielding the MR seems to be getting a ton of headshots for some reason. I think I'll be okay with core game modes for the pistols :v:

On the plus side I'm spending way less on Puzzle & Dragons this year so I have more money for Switch games.

Speaking of, who else has a Switch and is getting MK8D next week? I need people to play with.

Finished off the MR6 but I noticed someone cheating on Breach while I was hammering out the last few longshots. A guy was able to glitch up into the wall above the bar. He was deploying power cores inside the level geometry and could shoot out while nobody else could shoot in. Playername is GiFLiP-_- if anyone's ever run into him.

We had someone pull that on us in Breach. The next game, we camped the area where you go to do that clip (the couch between AC and the bar door) until they ragequit.

That was such a fun game. They just kept running right to the spot and getting mowed down. We basically held the whole bar until they ragequit.
