Multi team halo 3 games were always fun as gently caress as it adds heaps of chaos. Also fun to cheese as a small team that works together as you trim off the pubby fat from your team that isn't on comms and thus dead weight.

I have noticed people on Kill cams "pre firing" when rounding corners so not every insta laser death is a hacker, especially less so on consoles.

Hell there's been a few times I have used it based on seeing shadows on the ground.

Shadows and footsteps are very useful in this game

Rust is better than shipment because its slightly more playable and not just a lottery if you get a good spawn or not. Definitely helps to play objective gametypes so that you are at least spawning in your teams corner.

finished at the top of the field most games last night using the Firehose blueprint on the PKM.


headquarters should not be a gametype on that map (or any map)

we all thought they got rid of loot boxes from games but COD has just made the maps themselves the lootbox. sometimes you spawn and win (get some kills) most of the time you spawn and lose (just die again)

Australia MW is a land of unwashed neckbeards who all run Ghost/Mesh face in some vain attempt to appear badass when in fact they are just outing themselves as extremely dweeby baby boy manchildren.

if there is one thing gamers love it is avatars that disguise the face (because they are self conscious about their own ugly face)

Yegor and D-Day all day.


point blank no scope headshots with the deagle is satisfying as gently caress.



question:
what Field kit do you people use? I use dead silence and stopping power but I feel like stopping power isnt powerful enough but nothing else really jumps out as something that fits into my play style.

I find tac insert fun sometimes but honestly dead silence is so much better than all the others it is a problem

Dead silence is fine in how it functions but holy gently caress you can pop like 10 times in a bad game.

if all of the field kits had the same cooldown timer it might make it more valuable to run something besides DS.

i really dont see much merit it even having two field kits equipped.

Stopping power needs to be way more powerful than it is to justify the cooldown

ammo box should be 2 lethal nade re-up

drone shouldnt leave your avatar just standing around with a thumb up his rear end

trophy needs to last longer

I havent really used the others.

Ive been playing COD games since the OG MW and it still drives me insane that there is OHK snipers on body shots in core mode, and that the scope in speed for the largest scopes in the game is as fast as the fastest iron sights.

you could immediately fix the biggest complaints from non-snipers in this game by fixing that poo poo.

Scar can be good if you can deal with having low ammo all the time

M4 with a suppressor is very good.

I'm of the opinion it's far easier to play with a gun that plays to your strengths/how you want to play than one that min/maxes absolute numbers and shoehorning that into how you wanna play.

I absolutely dominate with the firehose build of the PKM on rust since you need range and reloading is suicide.

The mp5 is fast but I typically stick to ARs for the easier kills at mid-long range. Kilo isn't necessarily a stats darling but I find it (with my mods) to be better than the m4. I found the AUG to be somewhat better than the mp5 in terms of handling.

I'm Pretty terrible at landing single shots so avoid the sniper rifles. I also like the utility of laying down full auto fire to shut out lanes (every weapon I use gets extended mags if they have it.)

Do agree that objective game modes should be scorestreak rather than kill streak from a gameplay perspective but punishing players for quitting is dumb, especially in social lobbies.

I dunno how I feel about it. I like Plunder more than BR because I fuckin hat BR style games. I play COD for the pace and it doesnt carry over well to BR, but at least in plunder you can switch up how you play.

we tend to do a bit of looting then buy a balloon around 150k-300k, once we bank as much as we can we go hunting for the big carriers.

it seems real insane to use the heli pads since they just get camped by snipers who pick you off while their mates scoop up the cash and there is not much you can do about it.

there was more than a few times that we got ambushed totally out of nowhere in the open, from an area we had just cleared too.

not enough character diversity led to more than a few ghost/maces getting the jump on me because we had a ghost in our team.

3 man squads is also annoying because we have a 4 man crew usually so our buddy came on while we were in a game and just sat there annoyed he couldnt play with us.

Cross play is really great, I have two groups of friends and they are both staunchly xbox and PS4. They know each other for the most part but not enough that you'd get anyone to ditch their existing library of games/cheevos to switch platforms to increase our player base.

Hopefully more games do it in the future, particularly battlefield 80000 whenever that comes out (hopefully its just like BF4 but with better visuals). Its a bit janky at times due to chat not playing nice when you first add/play with someone but once you get past that its usually just the PC players who drop out every other game.


The amount of people that quit a lobby pre-game when they see a team full of the same clan tag is pretty funny.

Also, if you are having trouble seeing your stats track for attachment unlocks, I find quitting the game to dashboard (on xbox highlight the game tile then press start>quit) and restarting the game rather than resuming from your last session makes tracking work correctly. It also makes the live online friends list update in almost real time like it should, instead of having your last sessions players showing as online when they arent.


Whoever suggested that the Patches are working on a tick/tock build is probably right. the last patch and the one before that, this was not an issue. it only came back after the most recent update.

Does the IAV/APC or kill streak kills count towards the "get 15 kills without dying" mission?

I've gotten up to 14 kills without dying in Infected Ground War, but unfortunately time ran out a second or so before my 15th kill. Depending on the map, I could probably get 15 if the airstrike/sentry gun count towards the mission.

only kills with guns/nades/melee count for this i believe. that was my experience at least.

i have an anti-aircraft build that will drop vtol/chopper gunner before they can get a single kill. all you weirdos who are searching for the right calling card or whatever to troll people need to understand that this is easily the most rage-inducing thing you can do to someone in this game

no getting the final kill of the game, knowing you got the final kill of the game and throwing up a thumbs up or OK gesture is the ultimate troll. alternatively we spray paint the pubbies on our team with the bullseye graphic.

speaking of gestures, what the gently caress is activision doing with the Shaka Gesture. it was in a pack that was available and i didnt have enough CP to buy it (surfs up pack i think?) and it seems to be the only loving pack that hasnt come back.

The weed pack has come back twice now. I already have the weed pack, give me the shaka-containing pack!

they should just let you see your SBMM score or whatever because people will always, always ALWAYS meta the SBMM so that they can dunk on new players/morons to make their modernwarfare.exe edits or whatever.

at least in Halo 3 you could see someones rank and you could discern through rank + XP if they were an account churning idiot who felt that Bungie had robbed them of their 'true' rank or a seasoned played with actual skills.


the masterstroke was Bungie locking cosmetic items behind your Rank in SBMM, and the ultra-masterstroke was making it the ninja armour with a Katana on its back. so you'd have people creating new XBL accounts so they could game the ELO of SBMM/ranked play to try and rank up quickly to 50 and if they ever unlocked it, it was tied to their newly minted account with none of their halo 3 stats, achievements or their original gamer tag.

I know this is very much a me thing but I wish the jumping around corners whole deal wasn't a thing. Ah well, get used to it eventually.

maybe not the jumping so much but crouching and proning is purely a tactic to place your character in the area of the screen hidden by your weapon.

I think jumping thing is because auto aim doesnt really correct for upwards movement, so while auto aim might track a jumping player laterally, you have to manually correct the aim up to hit the high-damage areas.

I mean they could just make it so that jumping immediately craters your accuracy to zero.

and ADS could not give 100% accuracy until the animation is fully finished

and they could make certain weapons *not* a OHK anywhere on the body

but the game has had terrible loving dumb rear end bullshit like that in it for 10 years and like 10 different games so i doubt itll ever change.

I run a 680 with dragons breath and all the hipfire stuff except laser on shipment.

apparently dragons breath isnt as good as straight up 12G but gently caress, I do not care at all. 10 rounds, VTOL in 9, with a good run around the map I can hit that.

in shipment dom i was getting 1200XP+ per kill just by clowning on dudes while standing in a capture zone.

and of course play of the game neglects it in favour of some dumbass knife throw or sniper shot :rolleye:

Play of the game is a really cool idea that seemingly no one in the games industry can actually make a good one of. Granted, it's probably a next to impossible task but it is still frustrating to absolutely slaughter some people and then PotG is some dude laying there holding the trigger on a corner with an LMG.

it has potential to be cool for sure. it just seems that outright point-chain stuff is not weighted as heavily as sniper/knife OHKs.

like one of those things can and will turn the tide of a game. the other one is only interesting to the person who made the shot.

I called in a cluster strike in dom and team-wiped the enemy and we went from nearly losing by about 100pts to winning by 40 points, but the POTG was some shitlord who got 3 knife melees in a row.



final kill cam is always some really uneventful thing that in non-tdm modes should be outdone by basically any other kill. Even for TDM, its not really indicative of how the game was won, its 9/10 times its just some person with terrible recoil control displaying why they probably shouldnt have earned a kill.

They're sold as 'blunt force' packs in the store. There has been 2 so far I think.

one has a 'pot head' charm for your gun, which is a Devo lookin' thing and a banner 'fertile green' (a weed plant/grow op style illustration)


The other had a banner called 'afrodesiac' (an animated illustration of a smoking woman with an afro and a large hookah/bong and smoke clouds) and a pot leaf animated icon that walks and blows smoke rings



I bought the first pack with free CP because weed is indeed cool but the second pack seemed mildly racist and didnt look that cool

At the same time though, COD really doesn't reward you for playing objectives. The bonus EXP from actually capturing flags is pretty abysmal, especially considering how many deaths and how much time you are going to throw at capturing a flag. Also, bonus EXP doesn't unlock weapon skins... so EXP is almost worthless once you have the attachments you want.

its kinda hosed that playing shipment Dom with scorestreak on makes it significantly harder to get kill streaks than just rolling dice each spawn that you might get a few hot laps in.

I think one time I got a quad kill with the 680, all OHKs while capping a flag and it was barely enough points for a UAV with hardline.
