Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

Ok how the heck do I link my gamer fuel energy whatever to my PSN AW account? I went to the actual COD website and unlinked my Xbox account and linked my psn account. Am I missing something?

After another day of playing, every single MP game continues to have red bars for 90% of the players in it. Is nobody else experiencing this on the Xbone? I'm shocked I haven't read more about it.
Played a handful of games with US goons last night, every game I (and most people) seemed to flip randomly between 1 and 4 bars. Gave up after several instances of putting entire magazines into people at close range with no result, then dying in what felt like 2-3 bullets from people across the map.

Anyone playing on PC in Asia? I wanna buy this game, but not if there's only going to be TDM available to play due to lack of players.

Hm.. is something up with the spawn points? Sometimes in domination I will spawn next to a point that enemy has captured, and in momentum I've had the same guy spawn two times in pretty much the exact spot I killed him in - I'm guessing that guy was pretty mad.

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

This time it's different.

Must be your cpu. COD never has problems with spawns. It's one of the shining achievements of the series.

The spawns are as bad as they've been in every CoD ever. However. The maps are small and with the increased mobility they are absolutely loving tiny. People will spawn behind and in front of you allllll the time.

You have 3 things that can expire: Gear, Reinforcements and Double XP.

2 of them are obvious but Reinforcements apparently gives you a free Care Package a certain length into the match. The one I got was 4 minutes in. It had Scavenger in it.


Gear from Supply Drops seems to be permanent. There's also some Assassin set I've been unlocking that appears to be permanent. I don't know if it's from level-ups or challenges or what. The time limited gear is from getting certain medals in a round. If you get Bloodthirsty, you get a red and black helmet for 30 minutes. Getting the medal for 5 headshots in a round gets you a skull painted helmet, things like that.

I seem to have lost some really cool looking helmet; I saw this message earlier and didn't know what it meant. A little bit more obvious with the timed stuff like bonus EXP or whatever. I just want my helmet back :saddowns:

Him being overseas shouldn't cause everybody whose in the match with him to have wildly fluctuating latency. Besides, it's happening to a lot of people, not just goons playing with across the pond goons.

Also, any gun you get will be permanent. At least the 10+ I've gotten are.

Typical experiences playing from UK with US group...

Every previous CoD: 2-3 bars depending on East/West coast makeup/location of party leader - 3 bars not too bad, 2 bars pretty hit-and miss. Never ever had a 4-bar connection with US goons. Sometimes 1 bar when we get chucked into a Brazilian/Japanese hosted game.

Advanced Warfare: Randomly 1 bar or 4 bar from game to game (sometimes flipping between them mid-game). Lag seemingly has no correlation to ping report, can happily kill people when it's showing 1 bar, other times targets are warping across the map/bullets not registering when showing 4 bars.

Clearer?

I gotta say, despite you kids here saying don't get this on PC, I've been having the most fun I've had in an FPS in a long time. My only gripe is that I have no one to talk to about how lovely I am at it, so add me on Steam if you would like to make fun of my gun choices. Name is either TarKist or Fart Sparkles.

If you go to the Armory you can see a timer on your stuff that isn't permanent.

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.

Late to the conversation but I've been using it when breaking off from a fight. Round a corner, cloak and go prone. Most dudes will run right past you letting you heal up and get the drop on the them.

I agree that it's garbage if you're moving though.

The exo power that mutes your footsteps though is brilliant for creeping up on people, especially with the perk that makes it last longer.

I don't think Exo Stealth is terrible but it mostly serves two purposes:

1) Making your character harder to pick out at a distance to help you move through larger, open areas

2) Buying yourself an extra half-second of reaction time against a good chunk of players

That said I find Exo Ping to be the most useful ability so far.

I got a chance to give this game a go and it's still the same slow CoD game. You'd think that adding the jump button they could go back to at least Quake 3 movement speeds. Better luck next year after Nintendo's Splatoon shows Activision how a console shooter should be done.

We can lower the bar if needed:

What I played was incredibly slow even with the look sensitivity turned all the way up. Then again, I was playing it on a console so that could be a factor.
