Looks like UAVs are going to really easy to shoot down now.

Now? Towards the end of the BLOPS2 days I'd pretty regularly run a class with a launcher as a secondary because 90% of the time when you'd hear the "enemy UAV/CUAV/w.e" announcement you could drop it within 5 seconds. I started doing this because I had run into a couple games where we played someone who did it to me and it was incredibly frustrating therefor I had to adopt it. It's a bit of a waste of a pick-X slot but can also be helpful while trying to run up your own streaks.

It was especially gratifying when someone would get a heli or a similarly mid-tier streak and you could pop two rockets, die, then spawn and immediately drop it. See also; dropping turrets with EMPs immediately after they've been placed.

Are either of the Atlas editions available for in-store pick up anywhere? Looking at Gamestop, Walmart, and BestBuy's sites, none seem to allow for it.

I'm noticing lots of neat little UI things. The minimap highlights your icon in red while you're firing an unsilenced weapon (I thought I also saw it highlight when someone got pinged by a UAV in another video, but that didn't seem to happen in any of these), and it shows you when your teammates are firing.


Thats actually one of the upgrade options for the uav. It turns it into a wall hack. Kind of like that grenade that tags people through walls.

No, I'm talking about the arrow that represents you on the minimap. It gets a red glow/outline effect just after you fire an unsilenced weapon. But you've seen someone using the wallhack UAV module? Is it constant highlighting or does it pulse like the Oracle did in Ghosts?

The wallhack UAV pulses like the Oracle does.

"But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own."
When you use your exo dash or double jump, your arrow is outlined, too. And yeah, it's a pulse like Oracle. It's that streaky red outline you may have seen, like tracker rounds or the grenade.

The movement explained:
http://youtu.be/bGl0EhhtoOs

tldr: Double tap/hold A to boost jump, hold longer = more boost. Click left stick to dash. Clicking while sprinting forward is a slide instead of dash. Seems Scuf users will really benefit. Melee slam is weak, you need to be right on top of someone.

Are you me? Cause this was my exact build.

I'd down UAV's the second they came up and would take down every sentry/guardian whatever through walls with black hats constantly.

You really are the only regular I've heard say they are going with the 360 version. Xbone is tops and PS4 is a close second. Even Cajun has a bone.

I've gotten to the point where I'm not buying 360 games when a Bone version is available, unless I have a very good reason. It's pretty clear the new consoles are going to be the lead platforms for developers now.

I didn't see many videos of quickscopers killing people while they were jumping. They were either at ground level, slightly higher than them, or landing. I have yet to see someone quickscope someone while double-jumping.

Still haven't seen if there are (and I hope there are) accuracy penalties while jumping. It could be they have them, could also just be people aren't used to the Hoppy Suits yet.

What do you mean? Did you want exo suits in MW2?

Also, this game sounds really good in comparison to past CoDs.

Am I reading right that there is no C4 in this game? Because that was kind of my most used weapon in MW3, BLOPS2, and Ghosts.

If VSAT is an upgraded UAV in this game, does that mean that the GhostLow Profile perk blocks it?

Also, trophy system built into hoppy suit :getin:

How can you quickscope a sniper pistol, bro? That poo poo's just not pro.

But seriously, no C4 saddens me. Maybe I will use hunter killerexplosive drone instead. Although my use of EMP grenades is likely to triple.

There's just no placed equipment period, isn't that right?

Those spike drone things look like they might be a claymore-IED sort of thing, maybe? They kill on impact, but the icon when they're sitting on the map made me think so.
