Are the ground war maps actually carved up warzone map or are there various tweaks?

They are slightly modified versions of the warzone areas and have slightly modified versions of the mp maps in them. Not always exactly the same but really close to it.

What is the advantage of the thermite over explosive? Explosive is a guaranteed down, with a guaranteed elimination if you hit in the torso/head.

Thermite "might" (being the operative word) spread across several players if they are huddled close together for moar burninating!
Smart squads don't tend to orgy up like that so it's about as effective/useless as a molotov depending on how your mileage with those throwables go.
For me it's easier just to pop C4s or frags, guns blazing and hope for the best.

Honestly I have no idea. Explosive seems like the obvious choice I just noticed a bunch of streamers using thermite.

I read somewhere that thermite does more damage to vehicles and can be ricocheted more easily, but I haven't done much testing with either tbh

I run explosive bolt, ADS stock, velocity arms, velocity cable, reload perk. If you want a sight, replace the velocity cable, it doesn't do much anyway.
The ADS front grip doesn't seem to help with ADS acording to one of Driftor video.

Explosive bolts don't do much damage against vehicle, maybe thermite is better.

I did launchers alongside other ones and didn’t find them that bad, I expected to hate the strela but it turned out to be pretty fun to snipe with.

Everyone on reddit also complains about leveling the uzi and dragonov but I found both of them to be a pleasure. I golded the drag in a day

Thermite works better for suppression or area denial. BUT, it takes waaaaaay too many bolts to kill a vehicle so it's not worth building for that purpose.

None of the crossbows are good at vehicles, they take at least 5 bolts to kill the smallest ones. The only upside is the damage-per-bullet ratio is super high so it's not really a waste to throw a bolt or two at a passing car. If your goal is to actually kill a vehicle just shooting it with an AR would be much faster.

You just fucked with the wrong Mexican.
Going for gold on the shield. What a pain, why is it I always get killed by the shield guy, but once I have the shield I'm a delicate butterfly. Anyway, this whole 25 finishing moves is ugly.

Am I correct in that I just need to be having the shield, so I can run wild with a pistol and still get the credit.

Also, xbone, lately as I've been moving I've been killed with a finishing move, is there some new dynamic other than the long press of the melee attack (left stick for me)? I feel like I'm running a long and then surprise execution.

A lot of what driftor has said about the crossbow has been outright wrong. He said the speed grip has no measurable effect but folks with more thorough testing have found it has a 2-frame ADS boost and a sprint to fire speed boost, putting it on par with the stippled grip. He also said the "16 and 28 strand cables have no real effect on accuracy" but...



That's at 10 meters, 28 strand cable on the left, 16 strand cable on the right.

One Day I Will Return To Your Side.
Hey guys, why is COD on the PC being such a broken piece of poo poo?!?!?!

Not only does the game have a very big propensity for DirectX crashes, a couple days ago the game has completely shut me out of multiplayer, I can start the game fine, but the second I click 'multiplayer' it gets stuck at the 'Fetching online Profile prompt' then after a couple mintues says 'You have disconnected from the server Error Number 4' Then a line of 01010100101010101 underneath that.

I have so far tried the following:-

1) Ended all the processes, then went to %programdata% and deleted the Blizzard Entertainment Folder

2) Manually reset my DNS settings via CommandPrompt

And still the game never lets me into multiplayer except by chance once or twice..

What the gently caress is going on?!?!? I really dont want to re-download 200 loving gigabytes all over again.

*edit*

what the gently caress the game just let me in again what is going on?!

After a night of using the crossbow in WZ (ADS Grip, velocity string, explosive bolt,200lb,sleight of hand) I feel like its a mix of insanely fun and frustrating. Within a certain range (maybe 30-40 meters?) it just feels drat mean. It's hilarious just instantly dropping and executing in one shot. On the other hand past that range I can't get a feel for the bolt drop at all and can't seem to land a single shot no matter what I do.

That's at 10 meters, 28 strand cable on the left, 16 strand cable on the right.

Speaking from experience, the accuracy difference is HUGE if you want any kind of long shot on a crossbow. at ~100m w/ the 28 strand you might as well roll the dice if you will hit a stationary target sometimes. If it's moving you already have to account for the slow rear end bolt so a slower rear end bolt isn't exactly THAT much harder to handle.

On the other hand past that range I can't get a feel for the bolt drop at all and can't seem to land a single shot no matter what I do.

At 45m the variance in where the bolt can hit with the 28 strand cable is a ~1 meter in any direction from where you're aiming. Combine that with the slower semtex bolts and you won't ever reliably hit anything at over 40 meters because there's no accounting for whether the bolt is going to go a meter left/right/up/down of the target. There's no "trend towards the center" for the accuracy either, it's a total crapshoot.

It's better after you unlock attachments, but this is my least favorite Dragonov implementation.

Dragonov is somewhere between marksmen and sniper rifle, but unfortunately it falls short of both categories. It takes attachments to make a choice between the two options and the result usually isn't great.

It has reasonable mobility, deceptively quick follow up shots, and is a great head clicker. Sniper rifle penetration lets you blast weak walls for wallbang kills. The range isn't great for 1 hit kills, but the damage falloff is reasonable that 2-3 shots should kill.

I had best luck pretending it was the EBR-14 and firing multiple shots at people.

Do longshots in hardcore...

Allright, I figured it was something like that. I just won't go for long shots with it then. Unless there is some way to make it accurate at a reasonable distance. I figure the best build for it would be to equip amped and a pair it with a good AR that I can just pull out right away if the shot doesn't connect.

I know 'lol reddit' but this is 100% my favorite tin-hat conspiracy about Modern Warfare:

quote:

When will people start recognizing the very real possibility that hit registration is being turned up or down depending on someone's "skill"? A few months ago a guy on here found a patent held by Activision for a system that changed weapon accuracy based on a players skill level. They 100% have the software to alter things like this on the fly, it's only a matter of whether or not its actually being used. It would explain the erratic changes in footstep volume. Sometimes I hear someone buffalo stomping from 15 meters out, other times they sprint up to me from behind and I hear nothing.

I’m by no means that great and I usually run with LMGs (M91 mostly, I have given up attempting to get the Bruen I don’t play enough) and I read on Rock Paper Shotgun that it was quite good so I gave it a chance. Highest damage LMG and great range along with fastest reloads due to magazines makes it quite decent!
