The good news is the new COD will have crossplay and cross progression. The bad news is I don't really care and probably won't buy that one.

Got the Finn to level 30 and my biggest takeaway is avoid the +fire rate barrels like the plague. Although that might be a very different story with the chainsaw stock which I haven't unlocked yet. I feel like its even more effective at short range/hipfire with a long barrel than it is with fire rate mods. With the fire rate mods it legit feels like just about the worst gun in the game.

I've literally found the inverse - The +Fire +Range barrel is magical, and having tried it in a couple of WZ so far, I think I might be quite enamoured with it.

That's because it shreds out to like, 50 meters. Like, MP5 at point blank ttk. It absolutely dominates the 10-50 meter bracket.

The #1 reason to use the RoF barrel is actually that if you hold down the trigger long enough the barrel gets lit on fire

The gun is ridiculous, I was downing people parachuting in at like 250+ meters it rules and will be nerfed but not enough to make it not rule.

That one doesn't unlock until around level 40 so I didn't have it yet when I posted that. But yes, it is way better than the first two. Still can't decide if I like it better than the regular super long barrel though. to me at least it feels like it drops guys at about the same rate but the complete lack of recoil without it out felt like I was dropping guys more reliably and getting more assists with the fire rate+velocity one. It's definitely good though.

The factory+ROF Adverse one is the one that felt like trash.

It has some reasonable downsides for sure. Reload is rough, not good at after 50m, open bolt is a liability at point blank, Burns ammo. But as far as just deleting anyone in your sights it's very very good.

Apparently aiming stability is more important than previously estimated

Fart Car '97
Jul 23, 2003

I tried to figure out if aim stability was worth it a while ago. The ranges he's shooting at and the builds he is comparing make the issue seem way worse than it is in reality. The aim stability on the first shots is horrible because he's using no-stock, which took a huge stability nerf recently. There is a massive difference in the stability between no stock and the full stability builds he is showing but it's not so much that the stability improving attachments are good as the no-stock attachment is atrocious for stability. There is not nearly as big a difference between the normal builds people use with tac laser and the full-stability builds he shows there, and you'll still absolutely notice sway when using a high powered optic unless you stack every stability attachment on it.

Basically stability attachments aren't good enough unless you stack all of them which you'll never be able to do because silencer/long barrel/big mag are just too important.

You can downsize your suppressor on most guns to tactical (maybe not on bolt actions) without huge downsides. I'm a habitual head-shooter and had without testing ended up more or less at the same spot: Compensator stability penalty itself is so obnoxious that it is easier running other recoil mods + no attachment on the barrel for my ghost-free builds (Flash, C4, restock and a taste for violence). With the way HSing in this game works, it is only really worth it if you're landing them very consistently - otherwise, upper torso is the golden spot - and the unpredictable portion of recoil (along with the odd visual vs actual recoil misalignment) makes it so that some guns just do very poorly at hitting the exact same spot over and over (see f.ex. MP5 vs MP7).

This is interesting and all, but what do the patterns look like if you do move the mouse to keep it in the same spot? Why do I care if the recoil patterns are different if I keep aiming at the same spot (which will be made easier with the commonly used reduced recoil attachments instead of increased stability attachments he's advocating here.)

Fake Edit: I'm referring to the LMG examples here, the SKS one was quite interesting.

Because good recoil compensation is practicing so you're shooting pretty much the same spot repeatedly, not just keeping it in approximately the same zone. And that is predictive - meaning you know a large part of the pattern and make the exact same movement regardless, rather than reacting to what you see. It also means that the shot-to-shot magnitude of recoil matters less than the predictability of it - there isn't a limit to how much you can pull down (and in MW, it is really minor anyway), but active reactions will always be too slow to land every shot if some sort of unexpected deflection happens.

Dunno, this is really tempting and I'm going to see if I can't optimize patterns - it seems like on stuff with irons, you would have room for a stability stock, so you end up with:
Long barrel
Dollar store suppressor
Steady stock or some foregrip (f.ex. commando)
Tac laser
Mags

Which is pretty high-stab already. I wouldn't be shocked if one could mine the baseline stab values, find a high-stab gun (not the AK with a bayonet), mod it into a viable build and end up with a HS machine. I'd be tempted to if anything permanently move away from suppressors and build for maximum accuracy.

Yeah, I'm going to say the FINN is solid in WZ - You can't fight super long range like with a Bruen, but you absolutely goddamn delete anyone foolish enough to 1v1 you at Medium range.

Personal choice at present:
Mono Suppressor
XRK LongShot Adverse
Tac Laser
VLK 3.0x Optic
Commando Foregrip

I don't think the trade-off for the ammo belts are worth it; The Recoil hit is too hard.

There should be a part like in New Colossus where you have the opportunity to shoot him even though it causes an instant Game Over.

Black Ops 2 had Oliver Freaking North not only as a consultant but also in the game voicing himself. What do you think?

Hell, wouldn't be surprised if they had waited until this new console generation to lovingly recreate Reagan's craggy rear end face.

Would they have to get permission from Reagan to use him in the game or can they use him under some sort of public figure type law?

If they have fair use, can they literally have him running around topless with dual M16s?
