This game seems to be down on XBone too but can't tell if it's XBL breaking because of Halo Master Chef or CodAW being broken. Maybe a bit of both?

^^^ I got booted from a game earlier with an error (iirc?) 4192: too many assets. Or something like that. No idea.. Worked fine the next try!

Are you sure we're talking about the same gun? Because I unlocked most of the attachments in a handful of matches. Can't hit the broad side of a loving barn with the Tac-19 however.. :D

Why do Games posters insist on separate but equal PC and Console threads for popular games?
Because PC players post pages and pages about their memory and graphics cards and driver tweaks and mods, and console players just kill poo poo with no skill, and harass each other.

I was pretty proud earlier, some kids in a big clan party started hollering abuse at the end of a match my random team lost, about how we were all in a clan and campers (one dude was actually named "master camper420" or something) so the next match I rallied all the pubbies into hiding in the mines and actually camping for real, went 75-40 ftw. If you accuse me of camping I'ma own that poo poo. :laugh:

I've never seen anyone do this, it's usually too hectic for anyone to have time to gently caress around with trying to get on top of a map like that. I haven't noticed a patch get pushed out though.

On 360 FFA it is really really common on Retreat. Hell I actually played a game through and someone asked to show him how to do it.

I've always had a learning curve with sensitivity in games I'm rusty on. I've bumped up to 6 now and feel pretty :smugdog: about it.



The burst-fire pistol is an utter atrocity. I just unlocked akimbo for it and never want to use them ever loving again. The automatic pistol seems pretty legit though, but I think the initial semi-auto pistol might be the best akimbo pistols if you're playing against a team that knows how to aim and shoot at the same time.

Because PC players inevitably will have hardware/software issues and will get drowned out by console players when they ask for help. Plus they might want to know if a port is especially half-assed, even if the game gets a good reception on whatever consoles.

To me it's less about OMG I HATE PC SPECS and more about people paying $60 for a shiny new crash-to-desktop simulator and not being able to find fixes or people to play with.

I've always had my sensitivity set much lower than this in CoD games, since like the Modern Warfare games, but I thought I'd try this out to see if it made that much of a difference. Turns out it definitely does! :haw:

On that one map with the jet plane in the hangar, it's REALLY common in SnD games to find someone who's glitched behind a wall near the "control room". I gave up on playing SnD in large part because I kept joining matches midgame, where the bomb was sitting on the floor in front of two people hiding behind that glass wall you can't shoot through, ganking everyone. It seems like every time I join a SnD game I come in on the losing side where the rest of my team has ragequit, and there's a couple people just pincering the bomb next to a wall-hacker. Obnoxious as poo poo. There's also a spot across from the wall-hack glass door, that can be wall-hacked as well - if you see the kill-cam half their screen is graphical glitch garbage colors because they're inside of a polygon.

Yeah the out of map poo poo isn't super prevalent yet because the game just came out. If it doesn't get fixed then it'll be loving everywhere in a month.


On an unrelated note, gently caress the S-12. Finally got all three double kill medals with that thing.

Huh, we've been mostly playing Kill Confirmed which probably discourages that sort of thing since it doesn't do you much good to rack up kills if you can't get the dog tags.

The majority of pubbies don't even pick up the tags now. I don't think that's much of a factor. They probably just don't know how to do it yet, as well as what you said, the game's a bit hectic to try to get in to those spots. More so than previous iterations.

I like most of the maps for Domination. Sure, they're all B point clusterfucks but they're FUN clusterfucks. I think Detroit and Instinct are my favorites right now. And I hated Instinct the first couple times I played it.

EDIT

To elaborate, most of the maps have a good mix of open space and cramped areas but those two feel like they have the best mix. Since I'm running with the Bulldog right now, I appreciate those spots that make you get up close and personal. :whatup:

I was shocked B on instinct wasn't located inside the ruins so that it could be a complete loving massacre at all times.

It's gotten me a bunch more kills than the pair of Wolfenstein LMGs has so far. I'm still exclusively playing Ground War, so TDM, KC and Dom.

I'm not usually an LMG fan either but I tried this one out and it was working better than I thought.

It's got a fun mechanic that gives it basically zero recoil after the first dozen or so shots, and it doesn't matter if you fire them from the hip or transition to ADS. It's great to strafe people with from the hip while boost-dodging, then ADS in when the recoil stabilises.

The only thing I couldn't deal with is mobility. Even using a non-AK assault rifle makes me feel slow. It could be fun to grab one, put 4 scorestreaks on and camp it up for some angry kill mics though...
