Activision is at the mercy of the vocal minority of the fan base that feverishly demand "BOOTS ON THE GROUND" combat and hate sci-fi shooters. Did you notice in the most recent gameplay footage the player character never left the ground (well except when they were piloting the spaceship)? Gotta give them at least a couple projectile weapons to placate them.

Those leaks are pretty old at this point, CoD XP confirmed most of them (weapon variants, 'specialists', etc). I'm fine with weapon variants this time around because you can craft the guns that you want with the salvage currency that is earned via playtime. This system is much better than the AW system of pure RNG supply drops. Any reference to Extinction is probably a placeholder in the code, the third mode this year is zombies. I think I remember reading somewhere that zombies will be in every CoD title going forward given how much more popular it is compared to the other alternatives.

ADS speed with quickdraw seems faster than Blops 3. I still have no idea why Treyarch nerfed ADS speeds on so many guns during that games life cycle.

Jetpacking is even more effective compared to Blops 3 due to the faster TTK.

Also, anybody started progressing Strike Team 7 or the Wraiths? I gave up on ST7 when the second challenge I got was to kill two people with one lethal (good joke, game), and I'm wondering if all the challenges suck that badly. Also curious what kinds of challenges you get with the Wraiths.

The first couple missions ST7 give you revolve around equipment and grenades unfortunately but they eventually give you more varied ones, like call in aerial streaks or the general kill missions. Haven't used wraith much but it seems they revolve around simple kill/headshot missions.

The perils of solo queue (note the 1-20 pubbie :negative:).



It may be placebo, but those Astro settings Fuzzy posted have made footsteps more distinct. I've been able to get the drop on people more often now due to soundwhoring. Also, I got the epic KBAR from a drop :getin:

KBAR acts as a sub/AR hybrid with its higher RPM, makes it work out a little better with a rushing playstyle. However, the NV4 is stupidly easy to use due to its low recoil and long 4 shot kill range. Hope it sees a nerf in the first balance patch. Hipfire nerf maybe?

NV4 Flatline gets outgunned by other NV4s up close due to its slower fire rate. Ideal use of the Flatline is with a suppressor and trying to engage in fights at range.

Fuzzy, apparently someone on reddit tested the invective and it basically gives you the hollow point attachment for free with the caveat that legshots take an extra bullet to kill.

Reddit posted:

Kbar invective at point blank is 2shot headshot, 4shot body, 6 shot legs
Kbar stock is 3 shot headshot, 4shot body, 5shot legs
Kbar hollowpoint is 2 shot headshot, 4shot body, 5shot legs
So technically with hollowpoint on the stock gun is better, but the epic saves you an attachment at cost of taking more shots to kill below the waist

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P93b5Oerow (I guess Fuzzy forgot or is too cool to set his voice chat to public)

I also didn't figure out until later that the AP-3X can boost which makes it the best streak in the game (which being the final streak in the game it should be). Warden - AUV - AP-3X will probably be my pubstomp streak setup à la Wraith - HATR - RAPS.

Also, choked a 100 kill KC match. RIP.

Got my first epic gun, avalanche pistol.

It's actually not that bad when paired with a sniper, it's a good "oh poo poo" weapon. I saw some of you use the Ripper RPR-Evo variant, how is it?

I crafted the Ripper yesterday and I can definitely feel the RPM increase in smg mode, not sure if it affects AR mode. Curious what effect, if any, the higher RPM has on its TTK though. The reduced idle sway is definitely helpful in AR mode. They gave it increased recoil to compensate for its faster RPM, not enough to ruin the gun though. If you like the RPR I'd recommend crafting it.

Someone datamined the game and got some info. That new NV4 variant sounds absurdly powerful, it excels in every scenario. Also, is man-at-arms really all that necessary for an 8% movement speed increase? Infusion is a tough trait to give up. The payload cooldown timers were posted as well and phase shift has the fastest charge rate despite being arguably the best ability in the game.

Well, they managed to balance the Flatline make the Flatline a worse choice than stock in spite of its amazing ability, so maybe there's a hidden stat nerf that'll keep it in line (please god)

Also, you mentioned getting 2000 scrap for completing a Mission Team recently. I got Orion Initiative to 50, and that didn't happen. Is it like prestiging where you have to complete a secret, extra level?

I believe you get 2000 salvage through the process of leveling the mission team to 50. Adding up the 150-300 salvage you get periodically from them supposedly adds up to 2000.

Speaking of salvage, where are you supposed to earn it once you level up all 4 mission teams? I've already finished 2 of them and it's not even December yet. Yes, I realize I've poopsocked this game but still. They need to refresh their stock with new guns or add a prestige system to the mission teams or something.

The only SMG that seems to be worth using is the MacTav. It's 3HK range is pretty good for an SMG, apparently. Also the RPR Evo in AR mode, but the fire rate might get you killed.

The MacTav is a 4-5HK gun if I'm not mistaken.

I'm off work today so come and join me play this game. My opinion on this topic can be summed up as Jetpacking > BOTG. It's a more fun, faster paced game and the future setting gives the devs more creative freedom. If the Vietnam War era rumors are true for CoD 2017, I'll be bummed out. I still stand by my opinion that AW is a good game. Now that the supply drop system has been ironed out, I'd love to see a refined AW2. Also, instead of people complaining about a return to BOTG, why not complain about the fragmented playerbase due to map packs? That is the biggest issue with CoD right now.

Invective and Mammoth are the best epic variants you can craft. The Ripper probably isn't worth the 4,000 salvage but the increased smg RPM is nice and reduced idle sway is helpful in AR mode.

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.
