Sorry, guy.
Last question for now. I still... STILL in hours and hours of play, have not unlocked a single Exo. I remember a feature on IGN or something that showed off some crazy gear. Do I need to be part of a clan or doing "Clan wars" or something for all the cool kit?

No, EXO suits are locked behind challenges just like the other gear. For example, the KVA Assassin Exo requires you to earn 5 Merciless Medals. The challenge menu shows what you get for completing each challenge.

You get an Atlas Exo for completing the campaign and I got some Elite KVA Leader EXO from a supply chest, looks kind of cool, it's like white/blue urban camo with some red letters on it.

Wubstep shotgun owns pretty hard. Could stand to have a little more range but it's pretty fun. I've paired it with an assault rifle so I have some kind of defense on long range maps and, assuming I don't get spawned in bad spots, I can clean house with it.

Oh thank god, I just got an email telling me how to boost my multiplayer performance.

So now I will start using: guns, scorestreaks, and exo abilities.

Thanks, Activision! I would never have considered using those things on my own!

Yeah that only appears on certain attachments/items arbitrarily. But I guess you keep your eyes glued to the control text in the bottom right of the screen as you go over all your class items huh?

Honestly I'm really enjoying the game right now even playing solo but I would rather pour molten metal into my rear end in a top hat than play the regular playlists. Classic Domination all the way, aint nobody got time for all that jetpacking around like some loving idiot from Halo. In my humble opinion they made a super solid game then poo poo in the bed with this exo nonsense.

If anyone wants to shoot mans the good old fashioned way hit me up PSN: I000_ANGRY_BEES or just invite me through the goon PS clan.

...or I will just happily play in the classic playlist while you play in whichever playlist you enjoy most. Honestly I have much less of an issue with the mobility options like the jump and the dash but managing the other exo abilites is nothing but a pain in the rear end and if you choose not to use them in regular playlists you are seriously gimping yourself. Overall I still think this game is miles better than any previous CoD since MW2.

Nope they're all kinda bad. I'd rather use the point for anything else.

Please tell me you use the point for explosives.

Pro-tip: Overclock and stims are probably the best abilities in the game.

Getting booted off live because you left a super laggy lobby is really annoying. So far that is my only gripe with the game.

The spike drone. Wrist mounted spike ball that you shoot at people.

Just realized I got 3 supply drops while playing SP yesterday, but I turned off the game before going into MP later. Guessing those are gone for good, huh?

It's near instant like the knife and you can also pull it back to you, which is great.

(Note that if you use two of them, you have to launch them both before you can pull them back.

This is a good setup though? (Although if you're not using Blast Suppression I don't know what to tell you)

As far as "most efficient" setup goes right now (I hesitate to say "best"), the BAL with Stock/Grip/Silencer seems the best for try-harding. A case could be made for the parabolic mic I guess w/e

Just fyi the two best perks you could possibly have in free for all is hard wired and blast suppressor. So many people rely on the mini map to pick up on exo movement that you can just jet to a small fire fight, clean up, and jet out without being detected.

And hard wired is to counter the system hack spam.
