Sometimes they do but most of the time just look for this thread and the constant bitching about rust and shipment. It’s all this thread is good for now a days.

This is the biggest oversight with removing lobbies and restarting matchmaking after every round, is flipping the coin and repeatedly getting heads.

It's compounded by the fact that Rust lobbies are essentially act like black holes that forever to launch because of the sheer number of people joining into them and immediately leaving because rust is such a poo poo map, so you just get dumped into one of the dozen never-launching rust lobbies over and over until you luck into a shipment lobby that isn't full

Yeah i figured I'd level some guns last night while the XP bump was still in effect and was just dropping from every Rust lobby and I quit after it was rust probably 25 times in a row. I'm pretty much at the point where I won't even play it anymore. I think it's just about the worst map I've ever seen in a video game.

That post was for you Jase

I didn't have too much trouble getting Shipment games, but I still didn't get enough out of my double XP tokens as I would have liked. Still not great they continue to tick down outside of matches.

Love to get hit markers on shipment with the 680 with range increasing mods both with and without slugs.

It's not that I mind Rust so much as I just love Shoothouse and losing that 24/7 lobby really makes it harder for me to play for more than a game or two without getting frustrated.

There should be a feature where you can choose your favorite X(where X is a number that is reasonably high so that you have to be good at more than just one or two maps) maps and don't have to worry about avoiding the ones you hate.

Like the other guy said; slugs are dog poo poo. Just accept that you'll need to get closer than you would like to kill a motherfucker.

And use the R9-0. Having a second follow-up shot helps make sure they go down quick.

Challenges tend to be arbitrary and barely thought out in all games but are these really just a script churning out do X, Y amount, in Z time?

Just a PSA to say that if you haven’t tried playing Ground War as a GTA clone you absolutely owe it to yourself to do so, it’s way more fun than it has any right to be

The farm and port maps are ideal for this, find yourself either a jeep or a cargo truck and hoon around the side of the map then back up the flanks to splat people sniping from the sidelines

Even on farmland I was driving slaloms through the middle because most players don’t bother to waste bullets on a speeding jeep, and then when my jeep got hosed I bailed, sniped a dude, jumped into the nearest window and came out the other side of the house into a fresh jeep to continue my vehicular manslaughter.

I was contributing pretty well to the team too as my squad mates kept spawning in on me while I was well behind enemy lines to cap flags

Had the biggest blue balls on port as I was driving a truck down the loading bay next to D flag, bearing down on a totally oblivious dude running away from me, metres from pancaking him when from from nowhere a cruise missile nailed me and saved the guy. The killcam was awesome

Maaan, "Run over 50 enemies with vehicles" kinda sucks as a rank challenge. Does the wheelson count? Can you even mow people down with it? That's the only way I could see it not being a really annoying grind.

I know I just didn't know if there were any blueprints that had weapon changes that couldn't be achieved from having all the unlocks, and it seems there aren't. Best I can figure is I was just seeing someone using a no-stock GRAU with the long barrel + suppressor and no extended mag so it looked like an EBR.

Ive been playing COD games since the OG MW and it still drives me insane that there is OHK snipers on body shots in core mode, and that the scope in speed for the largest scopes in the game is as fast as the fastest iron sights.

you could immediately fix the biggest complaints from non-snipers in this game by fixing that poo poo.

What? Pretty sure this is not true, I mean, if quick scoping is what you're referring to then yeah I guess it counts, but you're still not fully scoped in, past a certain distance it's unreliable for most people.

Eh, It's really not the scope speed being the fastest, it's that they are quickscoping (i.e abusing the auto aim by quickly tapping ADS) and if snipers were a two body shot kill they would be literal garbage considering how many other weapons are a 1 shot kill or TTK equivalent in this game. It's annoying as hell and I sure wouldn't complain if it was gone, but it's pretty much always been part of COD and I don't even see it that much compared to other ones.
