Anybody on PS4 running in a group that doesn't mind a newbie who doesn't know what the hell he's doing tagging along? I'm getting bored getting my rear end kicked alone.

When is the launch weekend Double XP ending? I thought it was supposed to end this morning, but the 2XP icon is still there whenever I start a match, and I don't have any from supply drops at the moment.

The Shame Boy: Jan 27, 2014; Dead weight, just like this post.

I always run Parabolic Mic! I'm not sure if it makes a discretion (like if the icon is different if sombody is shooting silenced or not) but being able to see everybody on the enemy team shooting is great, especially if they aren't running Blast Suppressor.

Since it seems like most people are running Suppressor,Foregrip/Quickdraw Handle and an optic sight on AR's being able to pinpoint what rooftop they are shooting from is essential. Speaking of which all the iron sights on ARs are pretty bad, i don't blame anybody using a point for like the vanilla Red Dot or the Threat Tracker.

I wish they'd add a "text sizing" option, the names in online games are in such small font that I have trouble reading them, even after cleaning my glasses. If I could increase the size of the text my 25% or so and reduce the size of the player placards I'd be really happy - I can't afford a 50-inch TV, and I know there's nothing wrong with my eyes.

Nostalgia4Dogges: Jun 18, 2004; Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

What are you guys running for the KP5? I saw QuickDraw, RDS, and grip a couple pages back

What if I want to run and gun? Was trying low profile, lightweight, overclock exo, laser,fast hands (for reloading while sprinting) RDS...?? Should I even bother with any other SMG?

Is the overcharged perk worth it and is the exo stim actually good? I never noticed a difference

BTW exo trophy isn't a bad prestige unlock since it unlocks at 47. If you play domination, that is.

Still want to try my cheese exo stim and trophy build with overcharged and maybe a riot shield? For capturing points

My game just froze towards the very end of a Greenband Dom round during which I'd completed a bunch of challenges :cripes:

I was able to hold down the PS button, close it and reopen it just fine, but man, it's never done that before. I don't think any console CoD has ever frozen on me before like that.

Rei_: May 16, 2004; The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

My game froze at the end of a TDM where I had like 22 kills with the drat Bulldog.

Shotgun reviews!
TAC - Stock standard workhorse shotgun. Pump action, good frequency of OHKs, decent range, bit short for my liking but still the best in its class on paper.

S-12 - Probably the worst of the bunch, high fire rate, low damage, low range. Good for hardcore, HARDCORE rushing, couple with speed perks, exo speed and gung ho and facefuck the other team basically. You will get punched a LOT trying to use this thing. It's nowhere near as bad as the MW2 AA-12 but nowhere near as bad as the MW3 AA-12. Still kinda hot garbage but not like, LEGENDARY hot garbage like the MW3 shotguns and i had gold on all of those loving things.

Bulldog - Personal favourite, medium range compared to the TAC, semi-auto, high damage. Bit less risky than the S-12, kinda like a low-ammo capacity version of the Striker from MW2? Still a non-zero chance of just getting loving decked trying to use it, but gung-ho and a high-speed build go a long way.

Due to the current nature of the game and a lack of generous auto-aim, high speed matches make the shotguns a high risk, high reward option. Against conservative teams just having one player going loving apeshit with a shotgun makes playing conservative really dangerous and will probably make things more dangerous as people learn the maps a bit better. Honestly the map design favours shotguns with a lot of verticality and a LOT of little tunnels to flank with blind corners and poo poo. Against teams that move around a lot it becomes a lot more of a challenge but still fun. There's really no option for a room-clearing shotgun due to everything having a low magazine size, short of a huge fuckup on the enemy teams part but it's easy to manage doubles and triples with the Bulldog and the Tac.

AA-12 in MW2 was boss because it had more than sneezing range and i swear did more damage as well, make it better that i used it on my rushing class so i was always up in the right range to use it anyway.

A shame all the devs are so afraid of making shotguns as good as they were in MW2, if they made them primaries only and toned down the range on the Spas then it'd had be been perfectly balanced!

Mister Facetious: Apr 21, 2007; I think I died and woke up in L.A.,

The AA-12's range in MW3 was hot loving garbage. If you were double melee range, you were guaranteed not to get hit by it.
And even at point blank range it was 2-4 hits. The worst weapon in CoD history; at least the shield is viable on it's own.
