If you are having troubles with connectivity, try forwarding these ports:

TCP: 27014-27050
UDP: 3478, 4379-4380, 27000-27031, 27036

It seems to have alleviated a lot of my connection issues.

First 2 days poo poo was running fine, past 2 im constantly lagging about a quarter second behind, or waiting for eternity in the lobby.

And then I got put in a FFA game by myself (I won).

Don't have much to complain about mechanics wise on the MP though, I like the speed, the movement style (despite spacebar mashing giving me some pretty serious wrist strain) and I even like most of the maps.
Tweaking the scorestreaks is pretty nice, with special mention to the wallhack UAV.

Things that bother me:

Camo/attatchment challenges - Have you loving SEEN what the camo requirements are like?! 500 headshots? Plus longshot distance seems to be a lot farther than what one might expect, and double kill seems to now mean'both drop at exactly the same time' so gently caress knows how you're meant to get that with half the guns.

No C4.

No Tomahawks/throwing knives

There is literally a spikey metalic boomerang that acts the same as the tomahawks/throwing knives.

It used to be that when your computer got old newer games would just run slowly. The last time I encountered a game that simply couldn't run because of hardware was back around 2000 (or before or whenever that was) when you first started needing dedicated GPUs to play games. I can understand that somewhat, but like I said the fact that AW can run on a loving Xbox 360 which came out in 2005 makes me mad as gently caress that it can't run on my graphics card which came out in late 2008. And there is no loving way that there has been such a loving advancement in graphics from dx9 to dx11 that requires some massive change in hardware. AW looks arguably worse than loving bf3 in some places.

The fact that there is requirement for the game to run on dx11 and nothing else tells me that either the developers were too loving lazy to code in support for lower versions of dx (civ 5 gave you the option of running the game in lower versions of dx), or someone stands to make money from forcing people to buy new video cards.

Yes I know I could just spring the money for a new card that supports dx11, but its the principle of the loving thing at this point. I don't like being jerked around and told what to do by either lazy programmers or corrupt businessmen.

I think consoles are better suited for you. (Hint: Its because you're an idiot).

So is this fun in MP? My last experience was playing a silenced shotgun + that shootable knife guy in Black Ops so that's my yardstick.

Yes, however connectivity issues are kinda bogging down what is, at its core, one of the most fun COD's to date.

Shotgun builds are in, but silenced shotguns aren't a thing anymore (I think).

Tac-knifes do exist and several of us in the thread have used them to great success.

Seems global. Current rumor is that the game prefers trueskill matchmaking to ping but its unconfirmed. Basically even if there a game two feet from you, its gonna choose the game in Ukraine because that dude is close to you in skill.

All of those are off :/

What I did is as soon as a cutscene started I brought up my steam overlay. This pauses the game as soon as the cutscene ends. Then I save and quit to the main menu, and I click "resume game" and it starts the mission again but this time with the audio synced correctly.

This is literally in the OP

In the end I thought it was OK. It had some standout bits, but the core gunplay dragged it down a fair bit.

I always view the COD campaigns as Michael Bay movies. A whole lot of fun with very little substance. No staying power but an enjoyable experience.

Maybe I'm not understanding you, but there are about a dozen scorestreak options, and each of those options have about eight configurable options that will make the cost more.

One of those options is to make the turret fully automated.

Yeah despite the remote sentry being the best killstreak in the game, it is really the worst killstreak in the game.

Points are better spent on paladin killstreaks, because, lets be honest, you're gonna get one eventually.

Accidentally posted in the console thread.

So that mouse bug that everyone said happened in the Blops 2 and MW 3 launches but got patched a week later which are also happening in CoD:AW where the aim would just randomly spin 180 degrees because sensitivity spiked for half a second every 20 seconds or so...

Anyone figure out a fix for that that isn't "set your polling rate lower" and "turn off mouse acceleration/smoothing." I've got a RAT 7 and the only help the Steam Forums had was the knowledge that there are people out there with RAT 7s who do not have this issue.

And for the record, the fixes in the OP do not work for me.

You changed your mouses's polling rate.

Tried, didn't work. Funny enough, other RAT owners say stuff like "RAT doesn't let you change your polling rate" but the dpi setting is a program that lets you set 4 different dpis so that's... confusing. But yeah, setting it to 100 (minimum) doesn't work. My default is in the 3000 range.

Polling rate is not DPI, you realize that right?

Enjoy being a ninja with a machinegun. This build took me from regularly going 3-15 down to regularly being 1:1 K:D or above and the highest on my team frequently.

Not gonna lie but this build seems... like a bad build. Or at least it wouldn't jive for me. I'm also not sure why you added descriptions of every perks/attachment, I'm pretty sure people know what they are.

If you're being a ninja why not overclock or exo mute (don't use exo mute its worthless). Also you are using an SMG that isn't very good ADS so why bother taking toughness, which really only benefits you when you ADS. Low profile is good but instead of wasting two points to get it (greed + the perk) just pick up a launcher and shoot down UAV's. It helps the whole team and gets you mad points. Peripherals is a good pick up but why not fast hands or gung-ho instead of blind eye, if its truly a fast runny smg ninja build shooting from a sprint, which is what smg's excel at, would be very useful.

The build for the gun itself isn't too bad, except you should always have the foregrip, it shouldn't be a maybe, especially if you ever plan on ADSing with the thing, the benefit is too great. Silencer is OK, I'm not sure I would take it on a super mobile build but if it works for you go for it. Don't waste a customization on point booster for the UAV it turns a 10 point uav assist to a 15 point uav assist. Meaning if your team gets 20 kills when your uav is up (unlikely ) you only get an additional 100 points. You would do better to throw threat on that bad boy.

I posted the descriptions because I have no idea of the experience of the person who asked me, plus I don't actually know what the abilities are without looking them up. I mean gently caress this is the first CoD game that I've ever picked up. Like, it's probably a bad build for someone that can actually hit people with a gun from more than point blank. I can't because I am a bad.

The entire game of the build is to be invisible to any sort of detection shoot a couple of dudes in the back and die. I have blind eye and low profile because I've never seen a game where UAV isn't chain up for like half the game or I'm being killed by swarms of missile strikes.

If you are terrible, utterly terrible at the game, this build will make let you have fun without having to get good. That's all I really want. It can probably be improved.

Hey if it works for you it works. But don't diss the launchers, you get 150 points for shooting down a UAV which is 1.5 kills worth of points. And its braindead easy to do. It would free up an extra point in your build as well cause you could get rid of low profile. Plus it makes people really sad when you shoot down their toys.

I'm just trying to give you some suggestions because it seems like you earnest want to improve your kdr. If you're goal is just to have fun and not kill dudes then do whatever you wanna do.

Yorkshire Tea posted:

Nah that's cool. It was more a desire to stop myself getting 3-18 curbstomped. Now that I'm there I'm not hugely troubled. I'd get rid of toughness ahead of low profile though. What was putting me off the game was people just knowing I was round the corner and killing me before I could do anything.

Again though, a UAV is up for ~40 seconds. Sure when one goes up you might be spotted for a bit but if you shoot it down it'll only be in the air for <10 seconds. Thats 30 seconds of no UAV for the enemy, and 1.5 kills for a few seconds of your time to look up and lock. And its helping your whole darn team! Sure there are times you might be caught out with it though, that's true.

I haven't really tried a full ghost build in the game because TTK is so low that I figure I'm gonna die eventually anyway so instead I tend to focus on whatever gives me the best fight ability as opposed to the best sneak ability.

One of the things I will grant you is I absolutely love having low profile because when a UAV does go up they are going to rely on it and you can just shoot them in the back.

In fact, I will try out your whole build tonight, it does sound like cheeky fun. Cheers!
