Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.

How do you even akimbo those, I don't have an akimbo attachment even unlockable for that gun, is he hex editting?

I suspect it may be a supply drop reward, That's the only legitimate explanation I can think of.

the XMG, as cool as it is, has no place in a game this full of mobility. I can't think of a single good use for it that isn't outclassed by other guns. You theoretically become a mobile turret, except you're not a turret so you die quickly.

Toughness is still in the game right? Is it as good as it was in Bloops 2? I always felt gimped whenever I didn't take it, since it made such a drastic difference in whether I could win a fight or not.

The real drawback is that there are other good perks in tier 3.

I like the maps, but the only issue I have with this game is that literally every B cap point is a goddamn coverless deathtrap.

Though this is after playing Ghosts which has possibly the worst loving maps ever in the history of Call of Duty.

Is there a groundpound style exo perk I'm not seeing? Decided to gently caress with everyone and just go exo abilities/knife/perks with no guns because it's actually kind of fun. Only situation I find myself wanting in is killing guys below me quickly, so want a groundpound.

And yes I realize I'm the asdhole ruining the game, but at least I get on point and die half as often as the pubbies do.

If you press the Crouch button midair, you'll do a quick drop to the ground that can goomba stomp the baddies. I think the Overcharge perk just augments it to make it better or something.

Also, Knife and Boot runs are hella sweet.

HEY I want to know some stuff

1.) Is there some in-game place to view all the cosmetic clothing unlocks and what unlocks them? You can do it for the playercard background things

2.) Is the new reload mechanic hosed for everyone else too? Pressing it once is supposed to reload like it always has, but pressing it twice is supposed to reload faster at the cost of throwing away whatever's left in your current clip. Thing is, even if I press once it throws my clip away like 98% of the time

The netcode seems about on par with all of the other cod games, but as you're well aware the gap between a good/bad connection for me is probably much narrower than for some people. I have had a couple matches where I felt absolutely loving helpless, not able to win anything one-on-one, even though on my end I was registering 4-6 hitmarkers. The vast majority of matches have been pretty fair by my standards, and in some past CoD titles the connections eventually improved significantly for me as they tweaked stuff; maybe this will happen for AW, maybe not. Could be like Blops 2 and hate me forever/ actually get worse.

The movement is really fun. Even if it isn't anything "new" for people that have played shooters in the last 10 years, it's pretty loving drastic for the cod series. Some matches move incredibly fast because of it, some move quite slowly because everyone's scared. I'm quite interested to see how it works out, and I think that people who are actually good are going to have another advantage over the average player. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing; probably bad for me.

Visually it looks pretty good for a console game, I guess?

The sound could be amazing if the announcer dude would shut the gently caress up and they got rid of the noise that accompanies earning a medal or whatever. It's seriously like a loving Transformers movie at the theater but all of the viewers are also yelling and the projectionist is narrating the film via a 300 dB intercom system.

The maps are fine. I hate some, like some. A couple have some serious spawn-locking capability, though I was on the receiving end of this for the most part.

Dom still feels like a good security blanket mode, but locking down a map is going to take more coordination than a thrown-together goon group usually has (probably a good thing, but maybe not ideal for my lazy playstyle). I'm still bad at TDM/KC and they're still boring. Momentum and uplink are probably a lot of fun, but I got loving destroyed for the most part by junior varsity MLG dudes when we played those modes.

The perks are probably the worst thing about the game. I can live with it, but there's really no counter to the stealth perks, and you don't have to sacrifice a loving thing to be invisible to everything.

Honestly I really like the game so far (I poopsocked to first prestige, shame on me). It's a loving mess, but in a good way mostly. It has the CoD stuff that I like, much of the poo poo I've always hated, and some actual new features. I can't remember that last time a CoD had something that felt new. ADS? Perks? Killstreaks?

It's not awesome, but let's face it: the opportunity for a CoD game to surprise/awe/impress-the-gently caress out of me passed a long time ago. I've had a lot of fun so far though.
