MW2 was the most fun cod for me. Flame away.

It's the best because it's the most balanced, and my most balanced I mean everything is broken so it all balances out.

A shame that game came out before the days of constant patches, a few adjustments here and there and it would be absolutely perfect.

This is getting frustrating - I am getting a huge amount of assists without kills. Last night I had a round with 18 gun assists and I'm averaging about 8-10 a round. Doesn't matter what gun I'm using. I'll see a guy, start shooting and get some hit markers and fall over dead. On respawn I inevitably get the +25 from someone else finishing him off. I am the John Stockton of COD (short shorts included).

Game is fun, but matchmaking on PS4 is just a complete poo poo pile right now. Playing in eastern Kentucky, I keep getting matches with people speaking Spanish, English with British accents, and even some French speakers. And also a smorgasbord of global clan tags.

When I ask "scoreboard, what is my ping?" the reply is "I don't fuckin know? One bar? Four bars? It's whichever one means what you see on screen is half a second behind what's actually happening."

They at least need to add regional or connection quality preference filters like some of the previous CoDs had.

Are you playing between noon and seven Eastern? If so, it's your own fault. That's prime time from Russia to the UK.

Yes, you must played in the allotted 3 hours of prime time for your region, if you play outside of it, it's your fault the game is unplayable! Even if a multitude of games have already solved this problem in the long gone past.

The good news is SP was surprisingly fun and Exo survival is as well, gives us something to do until they make MP playable.

Can't you count? Seven hours. I actually get off work just before US/Canada prime time, And trust me when I say it lasts until three or four in the morning, when the europeans come back.

Trip report:
Mountain Dew: Code Red and...

- Aviation Gin @ 1:2 plus a squeeze of lime
Needs more Dew to be palatable. Not worth it.
- Tequila, *really long name* (extra anejo) @ 1:2 plus half a lime
Not bad, but not great.
- El Jimador Silver @ 1:2 plus a quarter-to-half a lime
Could totally get drunk on this. It's alcoholic fruit punch. Almost like Tahiti Treat.

I didn't take it seriously, I thought the whole notion was obviously a silly joke. There are surely more then enough local people playing a brand new call of duty in any US persons region that finding a low ping game should be easy at almost any hour. At least this has been the case for the last decade of games in my experience.

People have to sleep/work/go to school sometime, and when the majority of the Western Hemisphere gets around to it, Europe is usually getting up, or getting off work/school.
You have a noticeable switchover in CoD's matchmaking, as far as P2P hosting is concerned.

You can press triangle on certain killstreaks to customize them. Choose support and there you go.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
I play CoD at some pretty weird hours and I've never had problems finding other American games but I live in Florida and we have 20 million people living here. I've heard some Spanish being spoken but I'm pretty sure those are just Hispanic people living here. I haven't had any connection issues at all on PS4.

Also does anyone know if you get extra clothing/exo stuff from beating the campaign on the highest difficulty? I got a bunch of Atlas campaign stuff once I beat it on normal.

I dunno about the tac knife but melee is a lot tougher than I recall, since there's no lunge-forward when you swing.

I don't care about the lunge I just don't like swinging my knife in a guy and then having him turn around and shoot me.

EDIT: I lied i actually do care about the lunge :(

Campaign: Did anybody notice how beautiful the main characters are? For army men they are all beauty queens with frosted tips or surfer hair.

They are not army men, they are private military company soldiers which means they are a product and need to have good looking packaging. This game was also developed to pull in as many conservative fans of Backwater with a favorable view at the start before turning them into United Nation loving homosexuals.

I've only read one threat so far, it was from a kid with a lisp who claimed I was "probably a loving squeaker" because he shot at me, I spun around and TKed him before I saw the name tag.

He threatened to hack my IP anmd find my house and kick my rear end, then ragequit when I told him "stay in school - those speech classes will probably help you a lot."

I used to have speech therapy for talking too fast and now its no problem so kids they can't say poo poo about my voice.

No headset for my PS4 yet may also impact it.

Yep! It doesn't have the option for like 50% of them but that's alright. For someone like me it makes the game much less frustrating. I've never been good enough to get the better killstreaks consistently so it's nice to always feel like I'm making progress.

I've been digging that A2M420whatever future thompson with the foregrip. The initial burst is great and I'm able to use it at a solid range. I swear I started off tied to the AK but now that I've branched out there are a lot of guns I'm liking. The laser is absolutely getting nerfed and it's going to be a sad day.
