They should also slightly increase the time allotment for getting multikills. I get doubles all the time, but last night I had a quad feed and didn't get anything for it :saddowns: With the more open maps and dodging ability I feel like you should have a larger window.

Best way to play this game is running around like an idiot with a shotgun/akimbo anything with lightweight and a shield in your secondary slot.

Anyone still on the 360 can add me if they are looking for people to play with. I'll play anything, but if asked, I prefer search.

Yeah xim4 is the only option really for the ps4 and xbone. They use a smart translator which is pretty much the mouse movement I think for specific games. Each one will have their own profile you download and use. The AW one isn't out yet but the ghost one works well enough. It's expensive, yeah, but that's going to be up to you. They do hold their value pretty well. You'll want a KVM switch if you use it at a desk with your PC. A nice gaming mouse and preferably a mechanical keyboard. It honestly feels 100% like you're on PC but I'm not some competitive counter strike player. Let me know if you have anymore questions


I've got a xim4 I haven't gotten around to hooking up yet. Which kvm do you recommend? I would assume lag would be a concern when using a kvm switch. I'm going to drag the ps4 over to my computer desk.

this seems to be the one to get

The other guns are pretty weak in comparison, even the AK isn't that great against the Bal. Buffing the other guns would help a lot.

I know there's always a popular gun like the M16 in COD4 or the AK74u in BLops but it's a little absurd that the game has only been out for 4 days and 90% of people have already settled in to the BAL + Silencer and Foregrip.

I haven't really had any luck with them compared to older guns like the Chugga. It may have to do with the increased mobility of players, or maybe I'm just Doing It Wrong.

Those guns worked with certain play styles, so it makes sense.

the bal works for every play style. if you use another gun you're putting yourself at a severe disadvantage

Sounds good enough for me. Thanks for the info, i play on 360 and can't stand how mushy aiming with a controller is. Looks like I'm going ot turn some tricks to get me a xim4. and a mouse/keyboard set so i don't have to keep swapping

Wubstep shotgun with laser sight and advanced rifling. Light weight, low profile, blind eye, hard wired, blast suppressor. Exo cloak. Uav w/ support and threat detector.

Works really well for me in free for all. Jet in to a fire fight, kill a couple, jet away to safety. Some dude decides to chase me? Jet around a corner, pop cloak, and go prone. Works most of the time for throwing people off.

I got laughed at during a final killcam by a whole team of BAL tryhards for using the MP11, it hurt my feelings man. At least I got the smug satisfaction of beating them with it :smugdog:

Dunno if it's on all systems but on 360 there's movement lag when coming out of a run or doing something immediately coming out of ads. Specifically your character turns slower so it makes it harder to fight back when you get caught by surprise. I noticed then when I upped my sensitivity to 8 and trying to turn in those situations made it feel like I was playing on 2 or 3.

Like I said it's probably just a problem on 360 but it might explain why you can't turn around fast enough to fight back.

Please, the IMR is clearly the best Assault Rifle. Four round burst, excellent damage and it prints its own ammo (albeit very slowly). I got a neat blue and yellow version in a supply drop and it wrecks fools.

Also nothing is quite as annoying as a whole team running System Hack and doing well. I don't think it's actually all that useful but it makes me so drat angry having that skull and the obnoxious sound that comes with it popping up twice every minute.

This 1000x. The blue and yellow one is an unlock for getting 300 kills, btw, unless you got that variant early through a drop. That version increases the firing rate such that you can fire bursts almost as fast as you can pull the trigger, which is insane. Slap a foregrip and exmags on it and dayum.

Even the base level version kills in one burst at short to medium range, two at long range, and one at long with a headshot.

Okay I got an elite kill streak from a supply drop. It's a care package that is a guaranteed drop 6 minutes into the game and has a much higher chance of being a high end kill streak. Pretty neat.

Dunno how to equip it.

And if that game doesnt last six minutes or is a gametype you can't get a drop in (infected is it as far as that goes, I think), you'll just never get it.

They also don't stack. I got a 4-minute one and a 6-minute one in tge same drop once, the next game only had the counter for the 6-minute one, and the game ended 5 minutes in and I never saw either again.

Tgen again, one time that I did get the bonus successfully, it included a perk that I alreadt had equipped and therefor did nothing for me.

I got one of these and 6 minutes into the next match I got it, but it wouldn't let me use it. My dude just kept loving around with the screen thing on his wrist until I switched weapons. I never was able to use it. :dice:

Err, forgot what game I was playing, but basically the same thing.


Has anyone figured out how we get supply drops? I want the +damage laser so incredibly bad, but with the rate I get drops, it's going to take an eternity it seems.

I've literally tried this 10 times, tried pressing Space at numerous different points during the sequence and I still just fall to my death. Can dodge the truck no loving problem both times.

I got passed this part after 10 tries. I can't believe they're still putting QTE in games. Pretty much stopped playing the campaign, no one wants to deal with that poo poo.

I had to try the sweep the leg on the guard about 25 times after you see hologram Kevin Spacey's shenanigans. My problem is that the icon that shows which button to hit is about 5x5 pixels on a 1080p screen. It takes me about 3-5 tries just to see what button I need to hit, then about 20 to get it timed just right.
