Best out of 71?
The RAM-7 as a hipfire smg is nasty. I ran around shipment with 13.5” barrel, 5w later, rubber grip, 50 round and a merc grip and tore people up. I’m cranked, it was even more insane.

I now have two other console guys who are regularly playing WZ with me and it is a lot of fun even though we are pretty bad. Got a 12k duos win earlier tonight

I run a 680 with dragons breath and all the hipfire stuff except laser on shipment.

apparently dragons breath isnt as good as straight up 12G but gently caress, I do not care at all. 10 rounds, VTOL in 9, with a good run around the map I can hit that.

in shipment dom i was getting 1200XP+ per kill just by clowning on dudes while standing in a capture zone.

and of course play of the game neglects it in favour of some dumbass knife throw or sniper shot :rolleye:

Play of the game is a really cool idea that seemingly no one in the games industry can actually make a good one of. Granted, it's probably a next to impossible task but it is still frustrating to absolutely slaughter some people and then PotG is some dude laying there holding the trigger on a corner with an LMG.

it has potential to be cool for sure. it just seems that outright point-chain stuff is not weighted as heavily as sniper/knife OHKs.

like one of those things can and will turn the tide of a game. the other one is only interesting to the person who made the shot.

I called in a cluster strike in dom and team-wiped the enemy and we went from nearly losing by about 100pts to winning by 40 points, but the POTG was some shitlord who got 3 knife melees in a row.



final kill cam is always some really uneventful thing that in non-tdm modes should be outdone by basically any other kill. Even for TDM, its not really indicative of how the game was won, its 9/10 times its just some person with terrible recoil control displaying why they probably shouldnt have earned a kill.

:ohdear:
Final Kill Cam is way more entertaining on average because like 90% of the time it's super dumb and you get to roast whoever got it for their poo poo aim or whatever and it's great. I hate that Play of the Game has taken this time honored CoD tradition from us (yes I know it still shows up sometimes).

Does anyone else sometimes seem to not get XP or battle pass gain from Ground War? Sometimes the match will finsih, final scoreboard will fade out, fade into the rank screen and it's just sitting there unmoving in silence like :geno:. Is it because I'm joining matches in the middle? Or did it actually move but just not show me?

edit: For reference it's always been like this for me, not just recently with the Bnet server trouble.

Servers are pretty disconnect-y now, was there some maintenance scheduled ? I am sort of half remembering that there was.

My only gripe with play of the game is that it way, way overestimates how hard it is to get multiple quick kills with a sniper rifle in this game lol. I'll happily watch someone run around like a lunatic getting a 5-kill knife streak but watching some goober quickscope a few people is completely unimpressive.

A couple hours ago would have been the start of season four, might be they just didn't reschedule whatever maintenance there was.

Yeah the border cop skin + maga tag + ok gesture is really getting some mileage out of this game's incredibly lovely playerbase.

Finally ditched semtex for the C4 meta and I constantly gently caress up and throw a second one out instead of blowing the first one off because of the control change. Just totally fucks with my muscle memory.

They are pro team colours.

They are almost always used by people completely terrible at the game.

Yeah this fixes if you restart the game.

UI seems to stop updating after a couple of matches but it still records XP in the background.

Holy poo poo is the VLK Rogue amazing. I unlocked it last night and ran around on Shipment 24/7 just clicking on dudes and racking up kills.

It’s my new fav shipment gun and it has decent enough range with a barrel that you don’t have to worry much on shipment

Thought I'd just had this realization that I could use blueprints in my loadout and adjust them how I want while keeping the cool look. Can't use most blueprints in loadouts. Why the gently caress not? What's the fuckin point?

Wait what? You can use any blueprint just like in multi, you are even sharing the same loadouts. Maybe I am not understanding what you are saying though.

Edit Loadout, change gun, armory from the gun select menu, select the blueprint, change the parts. If that's not working something is massively hosed with some part of your game.

It shows the blueprints currently for sale in the store in the armory as well, even if you haven't purchased them.

On PC, what is the function you need to map in order to call in airstrikes?

When I get one, I hit the button to bring it up, I get the little binocular (monocular?) thing in my hand, but I cannot at all figure out which button actually calls it in, and I'm pretty sure I have all important functions mapped to a button. So what is the function I need to find and map to make that happen?

That's the problem then. Just figured after 2000 hours I'd unlocked more than 1 gray or black skin for each gun

Anything with binoculars requires you to aim then fire through the rangefinder. Anything that gives you a laser designator you can just point and click.
