Who wants to play video games?

Give Pat a Job posted:

Anyone else have a problem where the game just lost all your local settings (on PS4)? Logged in today to play MP, and it started up like it was the first time (set brightness and everything). Control scheme was default and for some reason I'm no longer part of my clan? Loadouts are the same, but otherwise very strange.

That's weird, most of that is stored locally on your PS4 (with maybe the exception of what clan you're in). The loadouts most likely stayed the same because that is stored server side.

Survival is so boring. The only rounds where you really feel in danger are the objectives, because you have to leave your camping spot. Spoon and I just got to 101 and ended up committing suicide because we had been playing for 3 hours.

Random Survival Tips!

Exo Cloak is life. If enemies don't see you cloak they pretty much ignore you. This helps a lot with the dogtags and emp rounds, especially with fewer then 4 players. Also great for regenning health, which takes forever.

When you buy a gun it replaces whatever you're holding. You can have two primaries, but you need to make sure you're holding your pistol when you buy the second one otherwise you'll hate yourself.

Don't bother using the care package scorestreaks for the early rounds. Once you have a full stack of 3, any other packages that give streaks will give two upgrade points as well.

I feel like heavy is the best class, because goliath really helps out with holding the hardpoint. Turret is dumb except for ripped rocket turret, and uav is nice but not essential except for invis guys.

You look tired. Maybe you should stop posting.
So you know the thing where you reload faster but lose ammo when you double tap the reload button? Yeah for some reason it keeps happening for me even though I'm pressing the reload button once and slowly, anyone know why it's loving up? It works fine in the firing range but as soon as I get into a match it becomes completely random. For clarification I'm on the xbone version.

I don't know honestly, but I think they're saying that the game uses Trueskill instead of best connection for matchmaking.

I think it says to pick skilled matchmaking over the best quality connection.

Trueskill is Microsoft only though.

Or do they license it for multiplat games?

All you can realistically infer from that is that some piece of code loads the DW_MatchMaking_Skill address. I would assume the assumption is that the game uses skill based matchmaking rather than matchmaking based on best network connection.

However, there are a lot of reasons why this isn't necessarily true. This code could be dead code or this bit of code might be executed after some sort of network based matchmaking that limits the set of matches and then the skill based matchmaking chooses from among that set. Also there are a lot of lovely developers out there who will copy/paste stuff and modify functionality without changing the name to something more indicative of functionality.

e: Without looking at a much greater amount of code, I don't think you can definitively infer anything from this.

Sure, using skill based matchmaking over network based matchmaking seems like something they'd do, but using that tiny snippet of assembly code as some sort of proof of anything is specious in my opinion.

I have it for both.

Either play with a friends and lock down a hallway/room or use the lightweight class, take gung ho, the BAL with lasersight, and constantly run around hip firing. Running around kind of herds the enemies so that you can just turn around and take out a group without worrying about your rear for a bit.

The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

So did they make a version of COD yet for adults who have jobs and lives and poo poo or is this a bunch of kids who saw 'cool robot exoskeleton' and thought 'oh boy i cant wait to play TDM and let the timer count down while sitting in a corner' like it is every year

It depends on what lobby you are in. The corner campers are still there, but the game is nothing like Ghosts. The only time I have had the time run out is in Domination, but that's because its set up exactly like Domination in Blops 2.

The Classic playlists on the other hand, are hellish. The maps are clearly not designed for the old movement system.

Play hardpoint. Everyone runs to a spot in the map so you can just toss grenades and hose down people trying to get in. And if you're inside it you get bonus points for killing enemies.
