The pre-fight sass before fights from the specialists is one of the few things BLOPS3 has over IW.

I splurged a bit and bought a good ASUS Router since Netgear isn't cutting it and initial tests on noted lag-fest BO2 seemed very promising. I didn't feel a second or two behind like I normally do. I even managed to kill a blade-runner point blank!

I need to spend some time with Destiny and BO3 and see how they handle it.

It's almost like your problems have been due to your internet/router and not the games you play!

I'm interested in hearing what you find. My router has been poo poo lately and I think it might be time for an upgrade.

WW2 MP sounds real bad on paper. The Divisions system, which sounds a lot like Battlefield 1, will replace Create-a-Class. These are the divisions. While the implementation is unknown, I don't trust Sledgehammer to not gently caress this up.

Eh, it actually sounds more like Rising Storm over Battlefield. In BF games you have classes with a unique set of gadgets and weapons, but if you start seeing specific abilities attributed to classes it really starts to break from BF.

BO3 feels a bit better but it was sweaty as gently caress so I actually played worse than usual.

Some good games were had last night although the connection was definitely funky in some matches. That 99-100 match had some teleporting fucks on the other side.

THAT SAID, I need you guys to turn your rage into productivity. Instead of simply bitching about that jumping gently caress that 1-shot you with an ICR (:lol: who dies to an ICR?) I need you to bitch about that jumping gently caress while also telling me where said gently caress is / where you died. Even Macy's mostly incoherent bullshit yelling generally has a location attached to it. Map awareness and keeping track of where the spawns are is like the one thing that will never be a detriment to everyone else in the party so please give out more call outs.

My brecci demands blood and I hate running around the map missing all the fun.

Also, Bear, we totally won that match you raged out of.

And last but most importantly: The Peacekeeper is a piece of poo poo gun.

Kiz and I played another match or two after you guys all left last night and I had an epic run. Ended up getting a power core and nabbing six more of those kills. I also managed to finish off all my remaining camos on the PPSh in that match. You guys missed out 'cause that lobby was CAKE.

As soon as I disconnected from that and backed out the game pushed an update. I'm thinking they probably had some sort of server side issue that was effecting the connections.

I haven't played the DLC but I absolutely loved it. Got the platinum trophy for it too. It's basically Kingdom's Heart combat. The story is kinda all over the place and one of the end game section was HORRIBLE but they've patched a lot of things to be better.

There's a lot of repetitive MMO poo poo that is kinda simple and tedious but if you stick to doing what you enjoy and not try to complete absolutely every bounty hunt you'll be fine.

It also has just the right amount mechanics to break the leveling and combat that's extremely my poo poo so I played the game twice.

CoD Zombies: more gameplay mechanics = better. Also this PSN sale is actually good so I have other games to burn money on, and Never Buy CoD DLC.

I guess IW is now a testing ground since few will care about any radical changes at this point

I don't know what kill trades mean. Also the hacks for the weekend are:
- 15 rares, 1 epic drop, 1 guaranteed dupe protected epic MKII, and an epic weapon camo, 525 keys/3500 CP
- legendary or better QR-M5TR Sniper Hack for 1,000 Salvage

Bonus game mode: CRANKED (which owns)

I should be able to farm up the remaining keys I need for the big bundle between today and tomorrow in zombies.

Also speaking of zombies reminder than DLC 3 & 4 will be sequels to Extinction.

It's worth playing for $20.

If you haven't yet, play Witcher 3 or Persona 5 instead. They are infinitely better.

In CoD, after you die, your hitscan bullets will not register on an enemy even if they were on target so you won't be able to trade kills. Halo is an example of a game with kill trading.

I'm not a fan of kill trading in games with hitscan weapons, and it's an even worse idea when you consider CoD's ancient servers and tickrate.

Just DLC 3, and if leaks are to be believed, DLC 3 is actually more akin to 50s big monster movies like I THINK Godzilla? DLC 4, anything goes.

Also gently caress I should consider hopping on but I just got two PC games that are also MP.

BO3 is a 19 month old game with netcode/servers that are years behind every other major FPS. I'm saving my energy for when we have to play BO3 for a 3rd year.
