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.

Also that other one currently has a total of 3 members as opposed to MG2's 628 so um yeah.

We also serve as a constant reminder as to why you should not associate with goons.

I'll be back on the Bone (SpudsSpudsly). Is this unlocking stuff on the official webpage something I should care about? It doesn't even end up making sense to me but that's probably just because I'm old.

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.

Awesome, I'll give that a try tonight. Thanks!

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 :)

It's good to see that the bar of modern FPS is "plays *almost* like something released over ten years but not quite as good"

It's a mix of everything I like in modern shooters with little pieces of all the things I played as a kid. It's nowhere near as frustrating as the last few CoDs and the different builds are great for tuning things to your skill and preferences. I have no idea what the next developers in line are going to do to top this unless they just do AW2 with minimal changes.

That's not surprising since the bar of modern consoles is "plays something released over ten years ago but not quite as good".

Shotguns are great because they're accurate even when hipfired, which means using exo dodge is not awkward with a shotgun.
Use a shotgun. And the rail pistol as secondary weapon, because it's basically a sniper rifle.

It's pretty bad when your game isn't even up to par with titanfall.

Sorry, did you think I was saying having more than 2 customization options and 3 guns instead of wall run was a negative? I should have been more clear.

Which headset are you trying to get to work? I'm gonna try those steps too and see if I can finagle something.

I snagged X42s used hoping I could get them to work, but neglected to notice the tiny fine print hidden in a compatibility page that says you need to use the kinect as a mic and the mic doesn't work with the chat adapter, which makes no sense to me because what's the goddamn point of the chat adapter then?

I also tried to hook up my old X11s but I couldn't hear or broadcast chat at all, but I also don't know if that was a problem with AW or with the chat adapter. I also use that set for my PC and switching back and forth constantly would be a pain in the rear end.

A game doesn't have to be revolutionary to be fun which is sad because Titanfall was neither.

Titanfall was really good for 1-2 weeks until all the content was explored, which is something that can't be said for any CoD game. Kinda was hoping this CoD would just rip off Titanfall but add more poo poo and welp looks like they were like "+sparebar to jump, good enough".

I have some wireless Ear Force Bravos that weren't working at all with the adapter- sound was dropping out every few seconds and they were generally useless. I also have a wired XL1 that was having the issue ven's post is supposed to fix, so it might just be a wireless vs. wired issue. Or the adapter could just suck :iiam:

The issue with Titanfall was that the ttk was too high, there weren't very many weapons, there was almost 0 customization, and there were very few gametypes.

CoD may be just rehashing the same old thing they've always done but there's a reason they're so successful. Their games are fun to play.

I bought this on PC and am enjoying it so far. I know Ghosts was a huge fuckup on the PC but other than that these games are always a good time.

I just don't get why people get so worked up about this game every year and I don't think I ever will.

Yeah this is pretty much the whole reason behind it. Playing other games and not hearing "are there any cute boys in this lobby" is really boring.

Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!


Coming to this from BF4/Destiny, is there any tips or something? I hadn't played a CoD game much since MW2, and I've just been getting wrecked constantly.

I'm trying to give it a fair shake since I think a lot of the game modes are cool, and the movement is interesting with the air dashing and whatnot, but I die constantly from seemingly nowhere.

I don't understand. Do you actually play this new call of duty or are you here just to complain it is not titanfall? Basically :frogout: :spergin:.
