Does this game still only give away new weapons through loot boxes?

Is ground war still a cluster gently caress where only a few perks are viable?

So the challenges are totally broken right? I did one that was part of a mission, then I thought maybe the dailies had to be done sequentially as well. So I went and got the second domination win I needed to see if I could start doing AR headshots, but that didn't count either. And it was a last second comeback

No there are no lootboxes. I haven't tried GW yet.

I have a dedicated LMG with the 3.25x NVG scope. It kicks rear end, especially in the cave, or covering windows at a distance.
Setting up shop in the red and black store opposite the scaffold overlooking B on Picadilly is basically cheating.

Some guy was absolutely laying waste with that lever action marksmen rifle the yesterday, so I excitedly made a loadout with it and...it's loving impossible to use? I couldn't get a single goddamn kill with it. This dude was using it like a drat shotgun I thought it was gonna be so cool.

I feel like this is universal to all multiplayer FPS games, but I don't think I'll ever figure out sniping. I mostly care because I'd love to just level up weapons for the hell of it and get dailies done, but everything about it just seems so counterintuitive to any game mode, which I guess it probably is.
I am also a terrible sniper, go play some ground war and get on a high spot. Lots of people running around to practice on. Since I'll never willingly snipe in regular MP I'm using it to level up the guns.

The matchmaker is absolutely horrid. We played for a few hours tonight with a 4-5 stack and rarely if ever did the game give us a full party. We basically played the entire night spotting the enemy team a guy.

A SINGLE person is a very large advantage in non tdm lobbies. Two is almost insurmountable. This game has SBMM and could easily pair it with someone.

However you're probably right, everything about this game is bad and poorly executed so lobbies never filling make sense.

Don't worry I'm sure all those reviews were totally sincere and legitimate and definitely written by not-Russians who are absolutely not themselves part of the Russian propaganda machine that's been taking over the internet over the past few years.

Probably need at least three extra players to balance against a 5-stack, really.

Was there a large outcry when MW3 showed Russian army main elements literally executing European civvies in the streets of Paris or whatever as opposed to a vaguely rebellious general executing middle easterners in a fictional country? Neither one is a great portrayal, but I don’t remember people caring so much before.

Its more that they cite a real atrocity that happened, but while in reality it was committed by Americans this game says it was committed by Russians.

No. Because that came out before people felt the need to be outraged by everything. It's just the dumb bullshit of the week that everyone will forget about when Death Stranding ends up having a boob in it or whatever.

Not that I'm even gonna defend it, because it was a pretty sloppy portrayal, but at the end of the day it's a fictional, dumb action game.

I do think it's funny that depending on where you look, it's either left wing propaganda or right wing propaganda. The internet is just full of idiots that take entertainment way too seriously and want to be mad about everything.

So maybe I’m wrong, but having played the game, I got the impression that the line isn’t referring to the thing that happened in the First Gulf War. It was referring to a fictional event that happened during a fictional war in this fictional country, and something that had actually happened fairly recently. Like, the writing is awful, and clearly needed another go in the editor’s room, but it’s weird that a game in 2019 would reference an event that’s relatively obscure to the 18-24 demographic.

The worst is when your character screams out "I'M RELOADING I CAN'T SHOOT YOU RIGHT NOW PLEASE COME AND SHOOT ME" or "I'M PLANTING A CLAYMORE DON'T COME IN THE ROOM SO I CAN USE MY CLAYMORE!"

The callouts seem about 90% there to hinder you. Although the location based ones are super useful. I wish there was just a button for it instead of your character screaming random poo poo without your input.
