God drat this game is fun. Just wish the maps were larger, both teams are respawning on each other in a lot of games, and those kills come off cheap.

In past COD games, do they ever release larger maps at all? I'm thinking twice the current size would be perfect for those 18 player games.

You may think you want larger maps, but then you basically have Ghosts.

I'll agree that some of the maps are probably unsuitable for ground war. This makes ground war anywhere from really fun to terrible depending on how things are going for you that match.

Irons did nothing wrong.
I've always loved the SP in CoD because it's like being in a crazy b-movie action movie, but this time in the obvious plot twist I really don't want to go with it. Like, I was hoping the campaign would be you helping Irons even though you know he's evil because that'd be rad as hell. I don't want to fight with Irons, I loved him in House of Cards :mad:

In all the previous CoDs when you picked up intel it was saved since it's usually tied to cheevos, so you could just go back to the campaign on the easiest difficulty and finish up the last ones you missed. I'm assuming it'll be the same here.

One of your Atlas bros leapt onto that explosive-rigged corpse as well while you were piloting the drone, pretty sure he didn't walk away.

One thing that they really dropped the ball on? Why the hell isn't Kevin Spacey yelling in my ear during multiplayer as Atlas? :colbert:

By the way, don't open your loot packages while you have the bloodthirsty helmet. There's a chance it'll bug out, give you only one new piece of loot and re-reward you a new bloodthirsty helmet instead of two more loot drops. :argh:

Also the stinger launcher is so goddamn miserable. It is disgustingly slow to use in pretty much every way from switching, to locking on, to reloading. Even for taking down UAV's it's a pain in the tits.

Sorry, guy.
I tried out Hardcore at the suggestion of others, it's viable right now as long as folks feel the net code in gunfights is a little wonky. But my god, do not play DM or TDM in HC. It just becomes a quiet campground. It's like every bad bit of behavior that people dislike about snipers.

Dear Sledgehammer games,

Thank you for including a support package for the scorestreaks.

Black Ops 2's decision to reset everything after death pretty much turned me off that entire multiplayer package.

Sure, I'm basically building up a single scorestreak over the course of an entire match now, but activating the UAV that paints enemies and then seeing all the UAV assist points gives me the warm and fuzzies.

I miss party modes (Gun game!) a lot, but at least Free For All is functional now.

The store is definitely on their list. When they click pricematch its listed as brandsmart.com. I just took the website in pulled up on my tablet and told the person it was on their list in the computer.

It is pretty nice. I liked the MW3 killstreaks the best and that was also a great game, imo. Idk why everyone in here hated it aside from the netcode which this one suffers from.

Is it going to turn into previous CODs where you literally have to gimp your connection to in turn have less lag? I remember some goons would say, download a torrent really slow on their PC



I just want to see what the first season pass release is so I can decide if I'm getting it or not

They are not accepting the price match here unless you can find me a bestbuy.com page that says that they accept brandsmartusa.com.

I've always got three. It's not always equipment but it's usually at least one cosmetic item, one 'game' item be it a weapon or something like 2x XP and either another cosmetic or useful drop. Guess I'm just lucky? :confused:

But having the bloodthirsty helmet crop up when opening a crate is definitely a bug. You get that for a 5 killstreak for only 30 minutes. For whatever reason.

Talkin about main characters, not people who show up for a level and then are gone. I also love how the game managed to cram in both "Well, well, the prodigal son returns" and "This is bigger than any of us" as well. At least Hot Foreign Lady and Brit Sidekick were okay. But again, thinking about CoD story isn't worth the trouble. Gonna go goomba stomp in MP in a bit on PS4.
