I'm just hoarding my Depot Credits (MWR's "Keys") until they add the guns in. Got 187 credits now and I bet I'm still not going to get any guns out of all the drops I will open.

Also Winter Crash 24/7 is up on MWR. I wish they did Winter Shipment instead :( leveling up is so slow, 15 hours of play and still no prestige

I'm promoting the R3KT to 'almost worth spending salvage on, but not quite'

I think it's a better version of the Volk all around, faster ads, tighter hipspread, more ammo per mag, way better accuracy, with the tradeoff of a tiny (tiny) bit slower ttk and faster falloff to a 4sk (meh, the Volk can't *hit* people at its max 3sk range imo).

R3KT suffers from being 'just kind of a good gun', which isn't really worth spending salvage on unfortunately, because I'd like to use it instead of the Volk when I'm in the mood for that kind of AR :saddowns:

And as I complain about leveling being slow, this happens.


drat, I'm going to quit every game that isn't on Shipment, gotta get those prestiges.

Ok so I bought this piece of poo poo again since it's on sale for the digital version. And it's really me. Revo and I voice chatted earlier. I don't have my cinch controller since the fuckers stole it too, but I'll hop on and play bad shootie mans later tonight once everything finishes downloading to the new system.

The bright side is my insurance is totally covering everything so instead of getting a bone again I just upgraded to the PS4 pro. lovely shootie mans, but in stunning 4K!

Also I rebought titanfall 2. No blops 3 though until that goes on sale digitally. gently caress swapping discs.

People are trying to avoid my twin seeker grenade attack with Stryker's regenerating trophy passive now. Good thing I'm packing a Titan and Hailstorm in my other classes to make up for it. And I won a Phase shift battle today. :yarr:

As for me, I've taken to liking the Centurion. Plant in a high traffic area and watch all those assists come in never stop hearing hit markers.

I dropped one and spent a match confused as to why I was getting hitmarkers randomly

Clearly the other team was as well because they never shot it

(then I never played Stryker again)

The Good things about stryker:
-The hardened perk lets you lock down wallruns over death pits
-you... uhh.... have a turret that might kill a dude???

Hardened to lock down wall runs, or Trophy to always have a trophy for defending.

Also the Turret's okay. Just don't use the Grav Vortex Gun, as you get just TWO shots.

Phase Shift could probably use a nerf in its charge time since it's pretty powerful and you get it in 60 seconds in TDM. But Phase Shift users can be predictable, just hang out in a corner behind your current position.

Looks like they already removed today's holiday box to prevent the glitch from being used. Or at least that's what I'm seeing. Can anyone confirm?

Confirmed on Twitter the crates were turned off so RIP.

It quit working for me after about 1200 keys. Only got one epic weapon, a handgun. Got an epic calling card and epic taunt as well. No loving way I'd pay money for that poo poo.

I love the constant ridicule IW is getting right now. It took them about 3 hours from the time the exploit was found to stop it but since leaderboards and netcode do not cut into their cash flow they can't be bothered after months.

Pretty funny to see that opening thousands of dollars worth of rare crates still doesn't get you that many epic weapons or salvage.

Wasn't around to poke it but with how cheap they are I can't imagine them letting you keep the stuff but on the other hand Activision are unlikely to have bothered to invest time in making an account system that can be rolled back easily.

So I bought the digital version of the base version of this game and it's still downloading. MWR I downloaded because it was already in my library. It finished downloading and this morning I went to start it up to check out if it works and it says it needs the IW disc. Am I boned? Should I contact Sony and get a refund so I can buy the Legacy edition while it's on sale?

IW never even bothered to roll back XP from the FTL CTF glitch a month back, which was way easier to roll back.

Reflect on the fact that it's Christmas - more than a month and a half from launch! - and we still don't have a Combat Record, or a way to view recently acquired items from boxes. :iw: There's a Triple Play bundle available in BO3 for 100 wins now, so if anybody else wants to play BO3, I'm down.

That version of MWR requires the IW disc. You can just buy the base game again and it will work fine. The disc is the same in each edition.

You can probably get a refund on IW, call Sony support and explain what happened and pick up a disc version used somewhere.

Sorry about that terrible game last night Day Day, dropped in, had 2 bars the whole match. Went and played solo and the rest of my games were in the upper 1+-4.2 KDRs. I dunno who was hosting but drat.

I think some days ago. IW realized "oh poo poo 2XP doesn't work with challenges", and boom, 2xp on EVERYTHING.

Always apparently, you just couldn't tell because lol no post game medal/xp summary.

Probably applies to challenges too, though at my level I've knocked off most of the low hanging fruit.

You can really tell when you get a huge xp bump in a match if you finish gold+ diamond, I saw like 25k in a non 2xp game.

Curious what IW does about the key exploit. Resetting everyone's salvage and keys to what they were prior to the day 2 reward seems reasonable to me. It's also hilarious how fast they patch the game when microtransactions are directly involved.
