I didn't realize uav's stacked to where you could see them thru walls was wondering how that was happening.

I don't think that's the case. One of the modifiers you can put on a UAV is threat detection, which paints them for about 1 second for every swipe of the UAV.

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"

After playing for a few hours last night, I'm cautiously optimistic. The exo movements are fantastic, and right now no one is expecting you to drop onto their face out of the sky so you've got an upper hand in that regard for the time being. The TTK feels pretty much like Call of Duty, though there have been a handful of times where I've stopped firing because I thought the guy was dead only to have him ice me shortly thereafter. Maps seem to be sized right and don't feel like giant empty boxes like Ghosts, though I think I've only played 4 or 5 of them. Hopefully this game is fun because it's actually fun, and not just because of the newness.

Don't clutter this thread up with that "Story" poo poo - the MP is a blast. I'm just finishing the opening prestige after gaming all day on my post-call day and this is the first time I've wanted to stay home playing Call of Duty since MW2. Actually very fun, truthfully do not get frustrated by good kids with gun skill beating me, very much enjoy the "Destiny creep" of custom weps, items. Looking forward to maybe hitting the prestige a few times in this iteration.

I got the railgun sniper with 2 +damage mods, 2 -fire rate mods and like 1 +handling or something.

It reminds me of the mods you could throw on sniper rifles in Mass Effect 1 to make your own railgun.

Game would be a bit better with a tiny bit higher ttk.

I actually thought the TTK was way too high on that EM-1 energy rifle that never runs out of ammo but maybe thats the trade off? Hard to tell.

As a person who uses almost exclusively that weapon: if it were any better they might as well remove everything else. It is A Good Gun.

edit: the trick is to never ironsight it. It's a natural laser pointer. Just hipfire and win.

Oh really? The slow down from iron sighting really hosed me up on that one. Will have to try this strategy.

I just can't find good connections anywhere, I've played all night long and its nothing but awful lag-fests. It's not even just me, entire rooms of red bars. Titanfall never had this problem for me so it's not on my end.

I want to like a lot of things about this game but its impossible like this.

This is what makes me nervous. This is my entire experience with both MW3 and Ghosts

Judging by the press f to pay respect screen shot I assume garbage for idiots, but I'd like to hear some actual opinions.

MP is genuinely fun.

What's the go to assault set up? I think I'm level 17 and the default gun is serving me well enough, but I'm wondering if there's something better.

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"

Oh, one thing I have noticed that's kinda annoying: I bought the chat adapter a few days ago to use with my old 360 Turtle Beaches, and the chat and game sound seem to be mixed together so I can't adjust their volume separately. Is this just a general XBOne issue or is it tied directly to COD? It's annoying to try to make out what people are saying in-game, and you miss out on death mics if you're in party chat. :smith:

This should be the next thread title.

Had fun last night although there were a couple of matches with terrible lag. Like, slideshow terrible. I'd be shooting someone, the screen would freeze, then they would be behind me and I'd be dead. A couple of games everyone had 1 bar. Otherwise it's pretty entertaining.

Obviously not the one where he can make an emblem of a unicorn kissing a dolphin, which is worth all costs and future costs this game will create.

This might be relevant info to you: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1F800DOG4XBSB/

If I recall correctly, this is what I read and followed to allow my mixamp to handle the game and chat volumes separately, but that was a while ago, so I don't really remember.

This is a better goon group to join on PC because the other one is full of goons who didn't (and smartly so) buy Advanced Warfare.

MG2 is better if you want to hang out in a steam chat and get to know people you're playing with. If you want to use a group that only exists to give people a list of goons they can spam AW party invites at, then sure, the other group is better.

I haven't played since Black ops 1 and the game is pretty chill, reminds me of cod with some tribes and UT 2004 mixed in :)
