How long does it take to get used to a controller for FPS? I was very, very competitive back in the Q3A rail only days and I've only been playing FPS on a controller since Destiny came out. Does the fine accuracy and control come or is this just how it will be for me?

Make your life easier and buy a XIM4.

Some of the cosmetics are like special and expire. Not sure what triggers them. Maybe bloodthirsties or something.

There's a grenade drone you can drop which loiters and seeks out anyone who gets near it.

Ahh, great. My slow reflexes thank you. From the description this sounded like the Hunter Killer scorestreak, which of course wouldn't make much sense as standard equipment when you think about it.

One of those attacked me earlier and I wasn't sure if it was doing any damage or just shooting a laser pointer in my face to try to distract me.

Different one. There's one that marks you (the oracle-style red outline) and one that blows you the gently caress up.

Kinda what I was thinking, but it almost feels like a cop out since I see so many other fuckers making due with controllers. I guess they probably grew up on controller fps though so maybe it makes it fair for me to use kb/m. :v:

Maybe it is but you'll have a hell of a lot more fun playing games with a control scheme you're accustomed to. I think having fun when you play games is important.

Instict (the jungle map) probably has one of the worse spawn camps for Dom in addition to the temple thing that just draws bad players to the top of it it's like a 4th dom spot.

What is it's map care package ability thing?

Yeah, starting that map at C is a hassle. Getting to A to flip the spawns is a good idea.

All PC players:

:siren:There are two settings in your advanced video options, these settings are:

-Cache Sun Shadow Maps
-Cache Spot Shadow Maps

SET THESE TO OFF!

This will eliminate the poo poo textures in game and should alleviate a significant amount of hitching/freezing.

Prestiges apparently reset your challenge progress, but you keep the rewards of challenges you complete (i.e. those lovely, lovely weapon attachments and that gold camo from 50 attachment-less kills).

So you don't retain progress on camo unlock challenges, only the camo itself. Have fun getting 500 longshots on your last prestige!

Pickle: Inspected.



I only ever bought 2 games in the CoD series, MW1 and MW3. That being said, where between MW3 and now did they stop giving level progression to the horde mode? I admittedly loved MW3's horde mode - seeing how much better I could do when I had more poo poo unlocked - but it appears it's just some stupid off-shoot game with AW and there's no progression to it other than "how high can you get on the leaderboards?" Is that a surprise to anyone or is that purely an AW-only thing? Am I the only one mad about this?

If there's a loading bar in the bottom right? You can't.
