What's the purpose of the EBR again? I think it's supposed to be like the Barrett of old games but you can't spam the trigger? It definitely didn't feel as good as the Longbow when I used the old Epic EBR I got from a box.

BTW for all 3 of you that play MWR in this thread, Raven did bring flinch down to CoD4 levels, and footstep levels are back to CoD4 (Dead Silence is really muffled footsteps and soundwhoring is pretty effective.) I was able to soundwhore my way to this score tonight.



Piss to flinch being added sorta, but eh. I'll manage with my M16A4... even though I want the pistol challenges out of my way asap.

Also the EBR is supposed to be a hybrid. Sniper for when you want it, AR for literally every other time.

And unrelated, but why does it seem that everyone else's recoil is near-laser like but mine's loving godawful. I was watching some footage of that LV8 Basilisk AR in Blops 3 and that seems hella laserlike.

the karma45 is good, the variants are great, but I still get buttfucked by kbars and NV4s regularly :shobon:

Running silencer, ext mags and foregrip I don't usually have a problem. Although I'm either above them or behind them so they can suck it with their stopping power/zero recoil. I'd run quickdraw instead of ext mags but no fucker bothers with SMG's so I don't need it.

Orion is the only team I don't have maxed/above 40 so I don't have the Phobos yet but the "built in specialist" legendary karma is working really well for me. The Phobos I'll definitely use though as it has good hipfire in the air which is My Thing.

Two of my favourite guns in Ghosts. Along with the honey badger. Of course any gun was good when I spent my entire Ghosts career camping like gently caress.

Speaking of double jumps, I put on propulsion for the first time in a while and my god is it absurdly powerful.

I watched some dude get a nuke without ever hitting the ground on SPACE MAP WHICH IS ON FIRE.. It was also abused like gently caress in the recent CoD MLG tourney by some British chap. I just don't like any other Reaper loadout so I tend not to use it, despite it being exactly what my playstyle wants.

Great games yesterday, I think server hiccups have been fixed for me, though from the server map people posted a few pages ago, I live on the east coast so I'm near NY's location.

Now what I'm wondering is does; the MACTAV (ump) have no aim assist? It feels strangely hard to keep my aim on a target. I got no problem real close but even at mid range I start being innacurate as gently caress.

That's probably because the range of aim assist on SMGs is smaller than the ARs, which is smaller than the LMGs. And for "balancing" reasons, it could be that there's a shorter aim assist range on the MacTav?

My basic strategy with any non RPR smg is: don't ever be in front of them.

Doesn't necessarily mean flank all the time or rely on your thrusters, it just means outmaneuver them. In earlier cods I couldn't do this reliably without stock but these days with perception, phase shift and the sound on enough to hear boosters and footsteps it's only the people ADSing on long range parts of maps that should be catching you off guard. Or someone running dead silence, cold blooded and hard wired but hell if they are doing that they deserve it for being Metal Gear Solid as gently caress.

On a side note I run with the legendary karma/rpr:

Ext mags, grip, silencer

Phase shift and perception/fuzzy ghost and heightened senses

Ghost, scavenger, dead silence and hard wired.

Only thing I change on the OSA/NV4/K-bar classes are the attachments.

Most of the SMGs kill faster than any of the ARs, so as long as you do get into close range and don't miss your shot, you'll win the gunfights consistently.

Notably the HVR is one of the best subs imo, the 3sk up close is extremely loving fast, and lets you win those 'oops' ran into a guy face to face fights. The FHR is next in line, but that gun has severe damage falloff and recoil, the HVR is a lot more manageable at a distance.

The ERAD and Karma are middle of the road, the ERAD has the best damage range of the higher rpm subs, and I think a bit better recoil profile, but I like it and the Karma both, plus the ERAD can't use extmags.

The MacTav has the worst ttk of all the subs in exchange for super long 4sk range, and putting a suppressor on it does basically nothing since the range it drops to 5sk is well past where you'd have autoaim anyway.

The RPR is a special snowflake, if you can handle its recoil and intelligently switch modes, its one of the best all around guns in the game, barely behind the HVR/FHR up close, and in the top few guns period in AR mode at midrange. Not the easiest weapon to use though, and getting caught in the wrong mode is usually death.

So Modern Warfare Remastered is getting new guns. This looks like BO3 Haymaker. Some dudes on Reddit are saying the gun just got new texture files in a recent update. They're definitely working on this gun.

I guess I have to prepare my wallet for microtransactions now. Still saving my free drop credits for when the guns are added to supply drops, because obviously that's where they will be.

At this point Activision probably make a profit back just from various random Youtubers doing their OPENING 50 SUPPLY DROPS AND OVER-REACTING! videos. Anyone else buying is just more money in the pocket.

One thing I did notice though, the parts / scrap / whatever numbers are much less insulting in MWR. Duplicates get a few hundred instead of... Ten.

No recoil guns are always the best to choose if you like a bit of a camping session.

Sometimes I just like to settle down in an area of three different camping points, and randomly rotate through them every 1-2 kills. You know, when I want a rest from noobtubing from the skies and want a peaceful match which ends in PS messages calling me a oval office. Crack out the NV4 Flatline/RAW, slap on ghost and use active smudge + heightened senses.
