life is killing me
Oct 28, 2007

Before MW3 came out I swore I wouldn't buy another COD game. I did not stick to my guns, bought the game for 360, and the loving 360 itself scratched my disc to beyond playability before I was ever halfway done with the campaign.

So I made the same resolution again. I would not buy another COD game, MW3 was a bad omen.

Then I move back to my hometown and my buddy is playing BLOPS2. I break down and get it to play vidya gamz with him. He quits playing it and goes off the grid shortly after.

I again resolve to never buy another COD game again. I managed to skip Ghosts which I heard sucked godawful sweaty gorilla tits, then this comes out.

I didn't even make it through day one.

So hi and add me on XBONE or whatever. GODSHAPED WAR is my gamertag.

gently caress my life.

What's the verdict on the single player?

Actually not awful, if fairly rote. Lots of gimmicky levels, which is good considering that they need the gimmicks in order to stay enjoyable.


Nothing like CoDs 4 through MW2 sadly, but nothing is. I actually liked the story in Blops 1, it was interesting, but there was something lost in the campaign gameplay after that.

Probably nostalgia.

Pretty fun as CoD single player goes, even if it does drag on a bit. First third is interesting then it's another "boo-hoo someone's being mean to MURICA" story, so your tolerance of that will obviously temper your enjoyment.

Alright, I just added a bunch of you weirdos on Xbone Live. I started out on PS4, but PSN is terrible by not letting me join parties most of the time and my PS4 controller is making GBS threads the bed right now (analog stick falling apart and won't fully charge). So, I'm switching over to Xbone even though the PS4 guys I played with were awesome and I love you and you're the best it's not you it's PSN.

I finished SP last night and it was definitely much better than Ghosts. But, to be honest, my opinions are weird because I freaking loved the BF4 campaign, which I played on Hard since that's what DICE said they tuned the campaign around. So, I can't objectively tell if military shooter campaigns are good anymore. I'm pretty sure MW3 and Ghosts were bad. Only played 10 minutes of Blops 1 before I got bored, and never played Blops 2.

I seem to do ok when I'm using the Run and Gun load out since it seems to have things unlocked way above what I've got now. Is there any reason I should be using custom load outs when I have nothing unlocked?

My roommate that considers CS1.6 being a gift from god told me to get this game. I did and now I want to loving hang myself. This game is one thousand percent poo poo and when I told him it looks and plays like titanfall he told me it was nothing like it and I wouldn't know because I never bought titanfall. The people these COD games create are literally worse than hitler.

Oh yeah and I am one of those loving morons that bought it on steam for PC so I am totally hosed with this lenseflare poo poo magic. I can't wait to be berated by this idiot I live with for not being able to handle the "hardcoreness" of this dogshit where every map of every game involves setting up spawnpoints that look at other spawnpoints so you can spawnkill the second you spawn because "owning noobs" is erection nourishment to these loving terrible people.

If you bought this game and like it then cut off your dick and sand down your vag because you need to be the endpoint of the thousand year chain it took to make you.

gently caress.


See above advice.

It okay. You're an embarrassment to your parents and your own mother doesn't like you. You might as well just said you have no will or sense of self control.

I dropped the AK-12 switched over to the BAL with the fore grip, silencer and stock. The gun is an absolute beast. Even with a silencer it's able to drop guys pretty fast. I also started running 4 streaks, support UAV, bombing run, assault drone with missile and HUD mods and a paladin. If I'm able to get the streak going right I can literally stare at my palm pilot all game.

Also if you guys haven't used bombing run definitely give it a shot. It has an extremely wide range and if you use it correctly, it gets you 3 kills MINIMUM. Also it obnoxiously shakes everyone's screen so it's pretty hilarious.

Consoles are running into the same connectivity problems aren't they?

So shouldn't it be "Don't buy this game anywhere"?

btw to anyone thinking about running SAC3s I think this is probably the easiest build to run it with atm:



There is some room for personal preference in the double exo/killstreak area, maybe swap tac 2nd exo for another perk too if you hate being on UAV.

This is my favorite alternative build, though I'm considering just dropping all killstreaks for another perk or exo in team based modes, though for FFA I prefer having those killstreaks.



edit: no ks build
