I split the difference and put the 725 on an overkilled loadout with an lmg. :getin:

Something like this started as my Cyber Warfare loadout but quickly became my favorite all arounder. Hose down walls with a bottomless box of FMJ and then the shotgun mops up.

People that hold on to their M4 are really missing out. So many FUN weapons to use. Because that's what gaming is about. It's about FUN.

I think some of the reason for that is the way that it feels kind of crappy to switch to a brand new gun with no attachments. It would be nice if marksman rifles came with some kind of optic, getting the red dot sight on the lever action rifle made a pretty decent difference.

If i were to try something like that every enemy player would beeline to my position and kill me in a heart beat. The only thing that seems to work for me is skirting the edges of the maps and hiding in enclosed spaces with my 725 like some fugitive on the run

There's no specialist bonus for getting 8 kills with specialist mode like there was in mw3, is there? Hearing "SPECIALIST BONUS ACHIEVED" and then turning into superman was seriously one of my favorite things in the entire series.

Speaking of field upgrades, I really thought I wanted the dead silent perk, but it turns out I'm a filthy camper POS and I'm much better served with the ammo box and its infinite ammo since that allows me to strike up my fireplace, assemble my tent and plant my claymores in the cheapest possible spot on every map and then never move

If you have a blueprint for a gun you haven't unlocked just open up your weapons loadout find that gun and choose the Armory option to the right of it to use your blueprint.

I have all these Legendary and Epic blueprints. Where do they come from? I haven't played the Campaign yet. I only have the Legendary knife because of the cheapest pre-order edition.

I'm using a Legendary weapon blueprint for the M4 I got from the campaign that a lot of fun. Also have they admitted a bunch of the Daily Quests just aren't working at all? I had one last night for using Field Upgrades that just was not counting uses at all.

Is this just for doing the campaign, or are they hidden stuff like Intel?

I just assumed I got them from the campaign but now I'm not 100% sure. When I started MP after I completed the campaign I had a Legendary M4, a Legendary Revolver and an Epic Knife.

Team balancing is just nonexistent I guess

My last five matches have started 4v6 with no backfill until it’s way too late

Does anyone even get any domination matches where the point differential is fewer than 20 points? I've probably played over 100 matches and can count the close ones on one hand.

Things are looking up...

It seems to be a crapshoot.
Most games will have 3-4 people that absolutely carry the teams.
Sometimes it's just one dude that has 62 of the 75 kills sprinting around with a shotgun landing midair headshots (I wonder how that is..)
I've mostly been playing realism mode, so primarily TDM - and the spread there is usually around 20 points. One game ended 69 to 69 thought, that was nice.

yeah i think im gonna have to agree

the maps are blatantly unbalanced for the mode, as one side often has a clear advantage, and it's absurdly easy to spawn trap by simply by covering the few egresses inbetween two points since the spawns don't ever want to flip

Not the best sniper, but I'm having fun with the Dragunov with scout scope and running with claymores. I basically prowl the perimeter of the map cutting off flankers and running up kill streaks. Had two really long killstreaks in a single match last night, like 7 and 8.

The warehouse level has a window that can absolutely trap a team in one of the spawns super easily. I was on the recieving end of that yesterday and even knowing where the guy was and having my gun ready I would still get got every time til someone spawned at the other location and was able to flank him. It was so annoying.

A good distillation of why Domination often has large point differentials on COD, I was playing TDM last night and a guy piped over of the mic and said "Glad this isn't Domination finally, its terrible my kill death ratio always sucks." A lot of the community are not focusing on the right stuff still.

It's been my go to and I see no reason to switch to an AR or either of the other lmgs I've unlocked. Too powerful, too accurate, whip up a nice kill streak on a single clip/box/whatever

Playing Piccadilly last night, enemy team had b and c the whole time while we had a. I was randomly spawned at c which led to the play of the game, easily piercing the temples of 4 guys who were charging out from what they thought was a safe area.

The 5.56mm AR’s are a good crutch while you learn the maps because they do well at all ranges, but it’s more fun to mix it up once you feel confident.

You apply it in the load out menu. When you’re picking the AR there should be an “armory” button next to it on the list. It’s a weird system, I had to look it up online before I found it.
