Got it because I heard it was a bit of a titanfall ripoff, happy with it. Its fascinating to watch pretty much everyone still running around maps like hamsters seemingly oblivious to their loving jetpack. Back in my day, chugging mountain dew was all about getting vertical.

I got your invite, but I have 2 games preloading right now so my connection is poo poo. When I tried to message you on PSN it just kept failing. I'm just grinding out Exo Survival waves for stupid trophies, believe me I'd rather be playing online!


EDIT

Seriously, today I get like 5 invites and I can't join and I can't send any messages explaining why not. gently caress! Sorry everyone, I really do want to play shootman with you but I can't! My internet is already weeping with the preloads.

Man, finally saw some shitler doing one of the map glitches outside of infected. Thankfully those walls are considered super thin though, so you can just shoot them and make them angry.

Speaking of, suck a sack of dicks if you glitch in infected. Every single match, almost 100% guaranteed there will be some jerkoff if not like 6 of them, humping the walls everyone know by this point.

Are any of the attachments for the crossbow worth it? Red Dot seems to make it way tougher to gauge the drop at range.

I wish the whole one way glass door bug was fixed soon if only to stop 3 people from my own team from sitting in there and being utterly useless for an entire game of domination. This has happened every single time that map has come up on rotation and it's starting to really annoy me now.

The only thing you can't do co-op is the main story missions. You can free roam and take over outposts together. They actually encourage co-op for taking over the larger fortresses.

Yeah you have to unlock attachments again, even for weapons you select as your prestige unlock. :( That, combined with my somewhat disappointing experience overall with the MORS irons so far, means I probably won't bother to unlock them again until if/when I reach prestige master, unless it gets a buff before then (unlikely); it just doesn't seem as good as the irons Ballista from BO2 (which also had a faster ADS time with iron sights equipped). MORS is probably the most effective with the low level of zoom offered by the first setting from the variable zoom scope. What I think would be a fairly minor adjustment that would probably considerably improve quality of life without making the iron sights for any sniper rifle too good would be removing or considerably reducing the sway while ADS with iron sights equipped.

Honestly PS3 has never been that bad for me either. Like there's the occasional spat of the game hanging hard for a second, but that's been pretty rare.

Xbone has been fine for me since the first patch - there might be a game a night where the connections are tough but otherwise it has been far less laggy than any of the other recent games.

It is strange, all past CoD's I never had any connection problems of any sort. Now with Advanced Warfare I have to hit someone with half a clip of rifle rounds in order to drop them and get shot by people that haven't rounded the corner yet on my end, I also seemingly die from about 1-2 shots until I watch a killcam and it shows something completely different.

This isn't some occasional late night laggy match either, this is literally, every, single, round.

It seems like I've switched seats with the people that used to have connection problems in the past games.

Last night I was playing FC3 co-op while waiting to get my FC4 DL code, and the worst stereotpyical snotty anime sperg really wanted me to tell him what I thought of FC3's team competitive modes. I was like "it has deathmatch and poo poo? News to me." Same dude also poo-poo'd the new CoDAW by literally repeating that "Titanfall has jump jets too. Titanfall has big robots, AW has little robots. Why would you even buy CODAW?!" :goonsay:

It was kind of amazing encountering one of those people in the wild.. He was also really lovely at the co-op despite apparently having run every mission twenty times.


Also I got an entire lobby laughing at one kid who tried to make fun of my not prestiging. I asked what in-game benefits it'd give me and he was like "you can unlock ANY GUN YOU WANT!" and I just said, "uhh, I already have unlocked all the guns forever, didn't I?"

I've recently got into using the Atlas 20mm rifle.
I loving love this thing! So far, I've never hit an enemy and not had it kill, except when it had to penetrate level geometry first. I can't hipfire, but that's not really much of a loss since none of the sniper rifles can hit poo poo from the hip anyway. Only downside is the lack of options for attachments. I mean, sure, okay, you don't want to give me ironsights or an ACOG for it. Fine. But why the gently caress can't I get thermals or a variable scope? :(:

This has been my experience, both before and after each patch. I seem to be almost a second behind everybody else and the killcam confirms. I'm consistently getting killed around corners, by people that are in the reload animation, long range melee, etc. It looks like the patches just gave me full bars without actually reflecting the quality of my connection to the host.

Speaking of the sniper rifles, god I always miss the World at War style where most of them started with no scope except like the Springfield. Every time I pick up a sniper rifle in CoD I feel retarded, like why do I have this huge honking scope when most of these maps don't even have more than a place or two where it's useful. I wish they'd just give me the option to hacksaw the fuckin thing off without needing 1000000 headshots or whatever first.
