Is it sad reading the thread today has been more enjoyable than actually playing? :allears:

Back in the day, that was the case all the time. I'm hoping my wife goes to sleep soon so I can start playing.

I tried using a paladin on Comeback and couldn't see a drat thing.

I was impotent in my rage. And then after in bed.

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.

I've seen a few people running around with this, but only on KC. Is it actually any good? The only game I used LMG's on for more than about 24 seconds is Ghosts.

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...

Really simple solution here - do the challenges. Hover over all of them to double-check - some of them aren't done on your end due to prestiges. Basically, when you prestige, you keep the camo but the challenge resets. So some of those are showing the camo, but you haven't completed the challenge on this prestige.

I wish they had patched the horrible lag rather then breaking all of our camos.

I also firmly believe that these are some of the worst maps in the Call of Duty series. Whoever designed them apparently was not aware the rest of his team gave everyone jet packs and super sprinting abilities. It's like fighting in a poorly designed closet.

The network guys missed the same jetpack memo. If they'd got it they would have all screamed that their game can't handle these new speeds and it was a horrible idea that some idiot brings up every time they start a sequel.

I agree that the matchmaking (at least on PS4) is currently hot garbage, but I think that the maps are some of the best COD has had in a long time and make good use of the new movement system.

Riot is probably the only map I don't really like. Every match regardless of game mode turns into a rooftop camp fest on that one. And a lot of the maps do need DOM flag adjustment. Too many of them have zero cover.

The matchmaking was so broken last night that a group of 6 of us just gave up and went to play different games but stayed in party chat. That was fun, except for everyone hating on me because I was playing AC: Unity.

The ARX (Or whatever that third burst AR is) is good as hell and I'm glad all the pubbies just spam the Bal instead.

Also I'm in Pillow Talk but it seems like most peeps on there right now are PS4, so if anyone wants to poo poo on some pubbies together PS3-side add me up under VoodooYardbomb, I'll play whatever terrible modes you want.

This game is actually fun so the occasional netcode fuckup (that every MP game has) doesn't really get to me very much. It probably helps that I'm not a harcode FPS player too. It would be nice if the matchmaking would try harder not to put you with people that have terrible connections with you, but basically no game does this anymore.

So have you not played a lot of the rest of the series? I think those of us who have called it not fun are just saying it seems like another cod. Yeah you can jump around but the rewards are lacking and a lot of the people who play the game make it suck by hiding in dark corners and not moving.

And please tell us about all the 10s you pulled last night by showing them your "epic posts"

I don't know why anyone would expect more though. It's cod with jet packs. If you're not at least a little interested in the call of duty formula still, it's probably time to stop buying them. They're the madden of shooters now, and have been for a while.

Their gameplay is not going to change no matter how many new features they tack on.

I'm a bit disappointed in the kill streaks but other than that I'm actually very happy with the game. It's a lot better than ghosts.

Also are you on the bone, Poz? I miss the old crew and it seems most of you guys went with the xbone.

How do people get triple kills in this game when the game expects you to get all three at the same time? Last night I killed 3 people in like 5 seconds with the Tac 19 and I got nothing for it.

The time to chain kills together has always been tiny. You need to have them literally on top of each other.

Play game modes where people are forced to bunch up. DOM and especially Momentum are both good for racking up double and occasionally triple kill medals.
