I booted up WW2 again and got a skeleton helmet. You could say I’m boneheaded for thinking of playing this again. :drac:

Probably full of hacked lobbies just like all the other backwards compatible CoD titles.

I think the hackers are too busy ruining BO2 since they figured how to upload a cheat menu to the community files (or whatever it’s called, I can’t remember). Last time I checked MW3 had the occasional invisible hacker but that was it.

What's the general feeling been on WW2? Seems like a very forgettable entry; I cancelled after the beta.

WW2 is less awful than it started out. I'm still playing off and on, and the new game types are at least interesting (Hordepoint is even fun) - It was the worst COD at launch, now it's middling.

I pre-ordered Blops 1111, on the XBone because I am not an animal.

I might hop on for some BLOPS 3 in a few and join you.

In other news, I hit Prestige Master in WW2. I had failed to do so in IW, mostly because people stopped playing that game on Xbone.

New update to WW2. They have added riot shields :getin:

I will experiment using it and Saboteur later and see if the satchel and shield combo is as good as it used to be.

I've started dicking around in Blops 3. Who's genius idea was it to make a UAV a five killstreak? I don't know if I'm rusty or not, but I can't get a streak more than four playing this.

At least I can still do stupid poo poo and record it.

Treyarch. That’s now been the base for UAV in both IW and WW2 I think as well. It’s really done wonders to cut down the endless UAV spam. IW had streak variants where you could get an even more expensive one which owned for getting higher streaks. My only issue with it is Macy’s took too long to make me see the light on it.

People whined about “UAV spam” so they made it harder to get.

Then there was Ghosts that just outright removed it. People don't wanna run a launcher because it makes them feel like they'll be shot and killed in the .2 seconds it takes to locate a UAV.

They sucked in pickup games because if you wanted the actual UAV effect, you had to sit on yours until a pubbie placed theirs.

Supposedly, and it may be fixed already, but Serrated with the WW2 riot shields increases their range and melee speed

I feel the riot shield is kind of dumb. I'm interested to see how this new class holds up in objective games once leveled up. I'm assuming that Dom points get captured faster during the 3rd tier power?

That one perk that gives you random weapons all the time is also amazing, so much fun.

Yeah it’s pretty awesome how the real story is literally the flying wall of text at the start of the 2nd mission and the game itself is a hallucination / AI fuckup as you die.

Yeah it’s all entwined between what’s AI and the mixed consciousness that’s told throughout the story. Honestly, it’s super trippy and kinda cool if they had actually played with that and made the earlier level design aware of what was happening. By the time the “story” is aware of the infection and you’re doing the weird forest poo poo, it’s kinda so removed from everything else that it doesn’t lend to the idea that EVERYTHING you played was a simulation.
