I used this weekend to grind the Oden (at level 40 now) and boy am I satisfied with my decision! The Colossus suppressor is hilariously large, and with thermal optics and smoke grenades it's just too fun to not use.

I run specialist with Dead Silence and Tactical Insert, and I've arguably gotten more value out of Tactical Insert. It's hilarious to use on console, provided you kind of check where your killer is going (usually, to a point where you will be primed right behind them).

Could they ever theoretically add Nuketown, or does Treyarch technically own the rights to that map?

Realtalk it's less about ADS speed and spawns, and more about map knowledge, good crosshair placement, and knowing when/where it's safe to peek with audio tuned to hear footsteps. Same as any FPS. Any way I finally am trying out shotguns and managed to get a jug on Shipment while leveling the R9-0 today. Easily the highlight of my time so far.

Not really? Those skills apply to both offensive and defensive play and COD is largely a series that excels when you're quickly switching between the two (as opposed to, like, R6 Siege). Which, tangentially, is why S+D and Ground War suck.

it shriveled up posted:So the challenge for the new gun doesn't seem to be tracking for me. I've plays a few rounds of shipment, popping smoke and killing guys in and around it, and no progress is shown. Anybody else having this issue? Are you two rolling with LMGs? The "around smoke" radius appears to be pretty generous but it only procs when you kill someone in/around smoke, using your LMG bullets (and I don't think it needs to be your smoke). I'm at 9 out of 15 after using the PKM with a Thermal Hybrid, and am taking a break. Shipment is pretty funny today though, just the entire stage covered in smoke at all times. f#a# fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Apr 29, 2020 |

Statutory Ape posted:This game is buggy as gently caress now I mean I'm willing to chalk it up to quarantine efforts but yeah this is really pretty bad. Also, because we couldn't matchmake last night, we ended up playing a fair amount of Warzone, and twice we managed to kill ourselves via vehicles somehow. I hopped out of a helicopter when it was about four feet from actually landing and it blew up wiping our squad, and then my friend was just mantling over a stationary ATV and got crushed somehow. Probably not the patch but very frustrating.

I don't know why i hadn't put akimbo burst renettis on my warzone loadout until just earlier today. Holy poo poo that thing shreds armor like nothing's business, and is your best friend for building infil and playing late-game circles aggressively. My main mid- to late-game BR loadout is now an SKS (PU 7x scope, Mono suppressor, longest barrel, tac foregrip, and the stock that doesn't look like rear end) and Renettis (Burst, Akimbo, Desperado Compensator, Heavyweight Trigger, 27rnd mags) and our crew has been cleaning up. Any improvements I could make here though?

IIRC if you or a teammate chuck a base that is then destroyed by a trophy system, killing you, the deployer of the trophy system gets the kill.

For whatever reason, POTGs seem to heavily weigh throwing knife usage. Their timing is also notoriously bad, so it's likely that your riot shield friend got something like a triple kill either right before or right after.

CJacobs posted:The default sights are fine on a lot of guns but I've never been clear where to put it on the enemy. At the top tip of the line? Should the line be over the enemy?

Sans gas mask, you live 12 seconds in the gas regardless of armor value, so it's enough for that challenge. But yeah, it's finicky as hell and I have no idea what causes it to actually trip. Things I've done that have helped: - Make sure the operator you're going for the challenge with is marked as your favorite, so you actually drop in with them. Note that in MP, it only needs to be the faction's selected operator, not your "favorite". - I've triggered it without a gas mask before but YMMV. - I have not triggered it while in a vehicle. - It appears to trigger when your health starts regenerating after you exit the gas. - gently caress it, solo queue and just run straight into the gas before the first circle closes, then out, then quit out when you get it. f#a# fucked around with this message at 18:47 on Aug 10, 2020 |

Shipment is much, much faster, because weapon XP is dependent (almost?) solely on kills/points earned while using that weapon. Like, 50x faster if I were to take a stab at numbers. Character and battle pass XP on the other hand increases with time in matches though, so BR and plunder are more advantageous for those. Only slightly. f#a# fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Aug 24, 2020 |

Oh, this is interesting, the home screen is now three tabs: - Cold War - Warzone - Modern Warfare Additionally, they've split out loadouts and operators between the two. In other words, you have a set of 10 loadouts for Warzone, and 10 for multiplayer. Operators are no longer divided by factions in WZ and you can only select one. Challenges appear to still be "shared."

John Romero posted:drat was hoping for an op that would help a newcomer. Any good literature out there of that sort Are you doing BR, Plunder, or a mix? Here are some general tips either way: - Superstore is the universal "sweaty drop" - There's a bunker SE of the Park monument that is open and contains about a dozen legendary crates - Standard loadout is an AR and SMG. Large-capacity mags are a must. VLK optic is the best for your MW-based AR. Mono suppressor keeps you off maps and enhances damage range. Otherwise focus on recoil reduction and a bit of ads speed. - Thermite is handy for vehicles. C4 is too but watch the throw distance, you'll have to set a trap. - 2x claymore/prox mine is an instant down. - Always be armoring up.

John Romero posted:thanks for this brother, just br for now Oh, alright. - Supply run > loadout marker is a good way to start the game, just pick one by a vehicle and grab some cash on your way - Pros might grab two loadouts (one SMG, one AR, or one with both desired weapons and then one with desired perks) so they can run ghost rather than overkill - completing a recon gives you a peek at the next circle on your map. You can chain these to position yourself for the endgame - But really, best way to get to the end is prowl the edge of the closing circle and pick off people who are late relocating (bonus if you have a gas mask and can duck in and out). Unless you have a solid squad, you're not gonna have a good time having your hidey hole expertly assaulted - you can really extend your fall range by chute-strafing if you want to get somewhere remote - the small profile of Roze's default skin makes her a popular choice for operator, but have some personality for Christ sake - don't neglect mounting for long-range engagements, it really helps with recoil - for a more offensive strat, try confusing people by charging them in a vehicle and getting out of it at high speed; most will keep shooting the vehicle

Mongoose posted:I'm still a nooby noob but I'm having a lot of fun with the Kar98 and akimbo m19 pistols. What other guns are really fun that aren't just FFAR and Aug/m16? I'd like to try a semi-auto rifle that's faster than the Kar, and maybe a shotgun for more close range fun. The Kar98 is pretty on-point right now, but you could also try the DMR-14 (semi-auto CW tactical rifle) or SKS (unlockable MW semi-auto marksman rifle). But honestly I have the most fun with SMGs—Mac-10 is obviously the best for Warzone but you can make most of them work. Shoutout to the MW MP5 which is always pretty solid, and ISO which I am playing with now and having a good time with.
