What happened to clan wars? Why do I feel like everyone stopped giving a poo poo before it even started?





Also how's Far Cry 4.

Last I heard clan wars was pushed back. I believe the general consensus was they probably didn't have it working on time.


Also, imho, far cry 4 is awesome. It is essentially far cry 3 but with better graphics and more stuff. Game play is almost exactly the same.

how's exo ping on domination?

I feel like the best exo for domination should be the trophy system, but since it's such a late unlock I haven't had the opportunity to really try it out yet.

Is there any point to prestiging once I've unlocked all my custom slots?

It's good. It more or less obsoletes Flak Jacket for objective modes; allowing you to keep actual, useful perks.
And it lasts, even without overcharge. Best part is you can activate it with a 'nade already at your feet, and it'll kill it.

Hilarious. Not surprising considering this is Beachhead we are talking about.

I assume they got another third party developer to make the COD app because the emblem editor seems well made and there's no fuckin way Beachhead is competent to make something working as intended. I was surprised when it pushed my emblem to the game with no problems and didn't delete my custom classes or something.

I wonder how they'll go about nerfing it. It's not significantly superior to the other ARs, but I guess they could nerf the hipfire and make SMGs kinda worth using. A ROF nerf would probably be heavy-handed.

Anyone use a lot of SMGs? I like the mp11 and kf5. After using them without laser sight for hip firing I'm wondering if it's really needed and I'm better off with foregrip or something

I haven't cashed in my MK14 drops in the remote chance that they actually buff that gun to be something worth using. It'd be nice if I'd get a drop for a gun that I actually use.

You must be utterly terrible, it's great. I wish I could INCREASE the recoil when zoomed with it because it's just like the M14 from MW2 - it's easy to put 4 rounds into the wall just above the shoulder on either side of a target's head, and the spread never gets big enough to nick and OHK them. If you can keep a bead on the target long enough to pull the trigger once or twice though, it's a murder machine. I probably have my second most skeet kills from the MK14, right behind the bulldog.

Unfortunately I haven't found an MK14 drop that reduces the accuracy slightly while keeping the other stats I want. :(

I loved the MP11, and took off the laser sight after I had a good enough feel for its spread and center, that I could use that point for something else such as a grenade etc. I never put foregrip etc on them though because that might gently caress up the spread-hitbox I keep in my mind for that gun. ;)

Also the Tommy Gun rules, I got the Speakeasy and it's great for taking people out in midair or prolongued close encounter gunfights.

Dead weight, just like this post.



I personally can't stand the BAL. You have to be shooting for a bit for it to get to the "overpowered" part of the spread and even then you should get the kill before then.

Like whenever I'm killed by it i don't think "I wouldent have died if that guy weren't using the BAL" I think "oh look that guy has a BAL, that's the forth one this match"

Overall, other than the shotguns and LMGs/Heavy Weapons being terrible, I'd say this is one of the more balanced iteration s of COD we've gotten

If only we could go back to the days of "everything is broken, but these few things are the most busted" of MW2 :sigh:

I really like the KF5, I use it with a foregrip+silencer+extended mag+scavenger and basically shoot at anything and everything. The gun hip fires pretty good but it shines in close ranges ADS in my opinion. Especially in objective game modes, pre fire spots you think they may be. Kind of a basic idea but you can really use this to your advantage with this setup. Nice thing about the scavenger is you can just dump your mags every single time.

Yeah it is pretty fun. The mp11 is great for true run and gun close quarters like a loon but such few maps cater to it. I just want it to be like the mp7 :(

I can never manage enough double kills to get extended mags before i prestige lol. The time allotted to get them is so low.

It is pretty good with silencer. Are you running it with low profile and blast suppressor? I really like lightweight on SMGs but it's definitely not required

The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

All COD games start as assault rifle games because they're the easiest weapons to use on unfamiliar maps and all COD games start with awful connection issues because only hardcore players buy the game and continue to play it at launch, connections improve around Christmas because there's a wider sample size for peer-to-peer matchmaking.

Like 2/3 shotguns and gently caress, the KNIFE are all completely viable ways to play and I can do really well with all three. SMGs need a buff, the ARs dont really need a nerf. gently caress LMGs they've always been a nerd weapon anyway

Also how about that fuckin' Spike Drone

I've been playing a lot of HCKC and this game is a lot more fun when every gun is easily viable, even little wiener lasers or shotguns with garbage range, they're all viable in HC.
