The game is crazy awesome and if you didnt like BLOPS2 then its been several years maybe COD games just arent for you anymore.

Are there any other weapons that work really well without using ADS(like that big laser thing)? Going from CSGO to this and the ADS is real dumb.

There should be an option when you have the gun highlighted in the armory. Some cosmetic stuff is not redeemable for xp I think it might be the preorder and 'do the dewrito' stuff.

Speaking as a casual CoD player who hasn't played since MW3, I really like this game. That said, the game is still well in its honeymoon period and, let's face it, after Ghosts and having a relatively untested developer, everyone was surprised that it even turned out well at all.

I'm a big idiot and purchased this on PC, but it's running nicely. Occasionally I see some weird lag comp issues, but it's been pretty smooth sailing. The game is very fast and it's really fun just flying around the map with an SMG or pistol/knife combo. I'm a little worried about the community staying large enough to get regular games in a couple of months, though...

Now that DenKirson isn't doing his COD charts, is there a website to check out gun stats?

I just burned a couple rounds getting lovely scores and doing nothing but hip fires with a laser on.

It won't take much more than a couple to get it done.

MAYBE A DINGO ATE YOUR K/D
Just played a game where the enemy was on the receiving end of the strange lag. I went 30-0 in FFA and ended up with over 50k points for the match. poo poo need to be fixed.

For some unexplainable reason switching from lan cable from wifi has helped, might make the lag comp work in your favour? Its worth trying at least.

With the XMG, you can change mode in mid-air, so if you jump-boost and then change, you keep your momentum and become a majestic turret eagle until you hit the ground.

The gun's still terrible but it's also hilarious.

As someone who played a fuckload of MW2 and gave up after that, I'm loving this, it plays alot like MW2 but all the extra movement stuff from the exo suits just makes it even more hectic.\\

I just wish they had proper servers on PC because that seems to be the only major downfall, the P2P stuff is poo poo and laggy. :(

Less grenade spam though, which is nice.

The stun one is pretty good. But the threat detection doesnt last near long enough and a ton of people use cold blooded.

Oh I loooove going to the mooon ahaha ahhhahaaa
I'll put it this way... I run support cause I die alot, I die alot because im retarded and run blindly into poo poo. Having that said, having the extra poo poo on my score streaks to help the team out is loving awesome. In conclusion, if you were good at CoD, you'll still be good, just with more verticality... ALOT more verticality. So now, not only do you have to check corners and poo poo, but you have to check rooftops and basically have to be runnings/jumping/boost slamming in a full time 360 degree spin.

if you haven't bought this poo poo by now, do so.. quickly.


if you bought it on PC, see you on the xbox in 2 months.

Yeah so this game is pretty sweet. The exo suit can be annoying trying to chase down sporadic dudes but also is great for avoiding grenade spam. Especially on domination


I've mistakenly bought a season pass for past COD twice but this time I'm trying to convince myself "no it'll be worth it!" Then there's always one jerk who doesn't have it in the party!

Agreed with all.

As far as loadouts, I pretty much stripped the thing bare so I could go full spastic with 5 perks. Although I still have the painting, extra time UAV and a third attachment.

Gun-wise I find myself coming back to the AK over and over. Tried out the high damage SMG which was ok for a while but the range drop-off started to bug me. Nothing else feels right, but I haven't tried the last two assault rifles or the Ameli yet.

Now if I could shake this man flu I could get the headset on and talk crap with all y'all.

I got an elite SMG with a grenade-launcher on it from a supply drop, so now I can play faux-tribes again, and keep all my extra perks without having to drop one to attach the GL. I also got an elite Exo skin that looks kinda Human Revolution-esque from the one straight afterwards. Supply drops are the best thing.

Airburst stuns are amazing for keeping people in place while you flank them. EMP nades are also fantastic, but less so for not getting shot, just keeping people grounded while you stomp them.

Played this game a bit last night, it's pretty fun. I still haven't totally figured out the exo suit yet though, and pubbies are still terrible as always. I'm also trying to acclimitize to the Xbone, and I guess I hosed up accepting game invites. Sorry Bear and co. Although I'm sure you'd rather roll with ven when he's going 60-2.

It'd be cool if you could unbind or at least rebind the boosting/dodging. Getting pretty annoying doing that stuff accidentally on the reg.

How the gently caress do these guys get away with refusing to launch the game on a dual-core? I had to download a patched .exe and big surprise my G3258 with GTX 970 does 1080p60 with 4x supersampling. Oh but I'm sure Activision knows better than me what my system can play. Morons.

I just had a game where it refused to balance out the teams. Our team had like 5 people on it vs 1 on the other team, new players were still being added to our team.

Also Exo Stealth seems entirely useless to me? Is the only benefit the "optical camo" that makes me light up and glow bright translucent blue?

It makes you harder to see when still/prone/in cover etc. Moving it's pretty trashy.

Yeah exo stealth is kinda useless as far as I can tell. You're harder to notice in passing or at a distance, but that's not exactly too useful and a careful eye will still see you b/c you're bright loving blue.

I was worried from trailers that it would be too stealthy and annoying, but it turns out that it being useless is what they went with, guess they found being too invisible annoying or something.

Id rather it be that than too good. Stim doesnt seem to be much help either. I've been using the speed boost mostly

Reddit is overall a lot more negative on this game than this forum. Most of the hate Is focused on lag. I think this is a better gsme than titanfall but I didn't have the issues with titanfall that make this almost unplayable to me. Hopefully the community is finally to the point activitision will have to consider a full array of dedicated servers.

And re: 40 people who said "lol goons will bitch about anything," a recently released 5-year study found that they're actually about 300x more likely to drop into COD threads and white knight the game/deride goons for bitching and then never ever be heard from again after the end of the month because the game sucks
