it shriveled up
Jun 28, 2004

Welp, guess my crash issue wasn't one of those that was fixed. Still can't play more than one match without having to restart my game. As soon as the second match gets to the map loading screen, I freeze up and have to kill the task in task manager. Also, what's up with the PC being one version behind the other platforms?

What do people who hate it want from the 725? If it's not a 1 hit kill what's the point of it? The other shotguns would just be objectively better and it would be pointless. Seems like the whole point of a shotgun is to wreck poo poo point blank.

My only gripe with it is that some of the barrels make the effective range wayyy too long. I hope they don't gently caress up my shorty though. Indoors with a sawed off 725 is the only time this game actually lets me run and gun.

E: wow I typed the word "point' in that post way too much lol

Yea the problem is the range.
It should wreck poo poo in close encounters but not be 1 hit kill at medium range

20 yards is very feasible for twelve gauge buckshot.

It's funny that nearly every post on the reddit mad about shotguns comes from folks using M4s.

What's a baller medium-semi long range gun? The M4 is a crutch and I need to ween myself off it, and the Odin just isn't doing it for me I think. I wish the DMRs were better in this game.

I find it super weird that people are praising the campaign - this is anecdotal obviously - when there's only one and a half interesting levels (Benghazi Embassy Jingoist Tourism and Piccadilly Circus Terrorism Extravaganza) and .5 interesting characters among the main four (Farah)


I’m with you on this. I stopped playing at the second to last mission due to a combination of boredom and disgust. I like to imagine that after I refused to threaten the butcher’s wife and kid, I told Price to pull the cop car over and let him do the mission himself.

I’m no COD expert, but the whole thing felt no different than any other one in the series besides looking prettier and sounding better. Teammate AI is still poo and that story was trash.

I’m thinking I’ll come back to the multiplayer after a few balance passes, but I’m done with the single player.

Maybe I’m just getting old.

It was my first foray into LMG but the TTK is ridiculous and it’s basically an AR with a mag big enough to wipe a whole team in between reloads

Also I don’t mount much but it’s a loving LASER when doing so

LMG's are ridicilously strong, especially when you have a couple of levels in them. I wouldn't use them for running around at speed because you're a bit slower, also ADS isn't as fast. But with the huge clip you can mow down an entire team from medium range before they know what's happening to them.

PKM is a very good choice, I'm very fond of the M91 myself.

Farah was a good addition and I guess Alex was a decent character, but it's a lovely grimdark reboot with needlessly edgy torture sequences. It stems from us playing a game aiming for a level of maturity that appeals to teenagers.

I thought they designed a good sniper level (at least until it's Russians from all sides), but the rest of it was check the box. Explosion knocks you down and you slowly recover with a fuzzy POV? Check. Needlessly superfluous dog murder? Check.

I'll give them credit for this much, they apparently took the sexual violence out of the story early on.

After using nothing but the M91 since the 2nd day I got the game, I can't really handle the M4 whenever I try it. It feels too light, I can't aim with it. It's like a nerf gun in my strong muscular LMG hands.

Guys, the MG34 is a wicked beast. It feels laser accurate, has a high ROF and its incredibly lethal at all ranges in the non groundwar maps. Downside is the slow reload however.

What works for me is a slow methodical approach where i try to figure out good spots to cover without being exposed. I find an area and defend it, I hardly ever run with an LMG and usually try to stick to the flanks of the map when i move to minimize exposure. I like to play domination so I find a flag to defend and move about that area. It is halfway camping but an aggressive playstyle with an LMG is drat hard if you are up agaisnt half decent players. (Also claymores go well with this playstyle)

Scope up an LMG and make it a poor man's combat rifle with a rich man's ammo load. It's nice for that first lane on Euphrates Bridge that everyone plays sniper duel on, from either side.

The M91 with FMJ rounds absolutely destroys killstreaks also, great to have in Groundwar, takes less than 10 bullets for a UAV.

It feels like the Titan all over again and I love it.

Got a quad kill with a PKM though, which in Cyber War is a Big Fuckin’ Deal. Completely swung the round in a second and a half.

I feel like camping a point in groundwar is totally valid because any team worth their salt should be pushing hard enough to uproot you. The real sin is camping in a spot where you're not directly defending a point and/or, most importantly, have no way or intention of recapturing or holding down the point.

hmm. allright guys PKM or M91? I'm gonna waste the rest of my XP buffs on one of them so I want to pick the right one. If they are about equal I'll go with M91 since it looks cooler imo.

I still find the callouts in this game to be more of a distraction or help for the enemy than it is for me.

For example, I was playing the cave map with a sniper rifle and was on that ledge/box area near C and sniped a few people who were down near B when suddenly a couple of enemies ran into the cave from the C side rug shop entrance looking towards B. They didn't seem to have any idea I was there until my character yelled incredibly loudly while I wasn't in a position to fire on them. Sure enough, they both turned and one of them gunned me down instantly.

Or the times when I hear a nearby teammates character yell about spotting an enemy and it causes me to pause and look around only to get horrible murdered from a direction that wasn't were the teammate was looking.

PKM. More consistent with less recoil and (maybe?) a faster reload.

There is a perk you unlock that speeds up reloads, I added it to my M91.

That said, I've levelled my trusty M91 to 41, currently I switched over to the PKM which is now at 20.
They're both fantastic weapons and totally interchangeable imo.

preface all my posts with this
I really like the Azhir Cave & Hackney Yard a lot, just the right size for TDM. Some of the maps have ridiculous sight lines though- Grazna Raid is about twice as big as it feels it should be, and unless you're playing HQ It's just not great to run around for 45 seconds without finding anybody. It reminds me of Gustav Cannon from WW2, just way too loving big.
