What does that mean? Spike Drone is basically that throwing thing from Krull. You can even recall it. It certes doesn't explode.

You're telling me it's better in hardcore?
I feel that HC is better than normal modes in this game. It will definitely force you to get faster and better at target identification because you'll die almost instantly when you pause due to being unsure, and a lot of the weapons are murder machines in HC that are basically useless in normal. Crossbow actually does viable damage and is always a OHK from direct impact, for instance - whereas in normal games I put a bolt into a dude's leg and it blew up and he killed me and ran off to regen.

My fault. Got confused with explosive drone. Spike drone rules just because boomerang medals are a joy to receive.

Yeah explosive drone is a hot turd, it takes at least a full second too long to go off, and half of people won't set it off anyway. Apparently you can TK teammates with it in normal? So maybe it's useful for killing glitchers but that's about it.

I run it on my danger close build. Use it like a grenade, see a bunch of blips on the minimap shoot it high up in that direction. I get a handful of kills each match, not much, but still better than frags/semtex.

What's with the eh... bretonnian dance, sir?

Whoever said nerf the BAL's hipfire, that's right on the money. It's ridiculous how many times I've been outgunned by a hipfire BAL at close-med range, while aiming down the sights of an SMG or shotgun.

This makes me so sad. Even in HC it's kind of a turd: too long to ads, requiring multiple shots to kill. What did you do, Sledgehammer? :(

If you think the Mk14 is painful, try the EPM3. All the same problems, plus contrails that make followup shots way more difficult and serve as giant honking SHOOT HERE indicators. The one you unlock at 300 kills has +2 damage, but that's such a slog, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was still a 3 hit kill even with the bonus damage.

The BAL is too good of an SMG, just nerf its hipfire accuracy and BAM its an AR again. Its literally an easy as poo poo fix I don't know why people don't realize this.

Edit: Shotguns are fine except for the automatic shotgun, that hting is a piece of poo poo, but you definitely don't need to buff the tac 19, that thing is a beast. I think most idiots just run it with gung ho and then say "Ugh shotguns are trash".

Buff the mk14 though, yeah that thing is garbage, give it a strong loving headshot multiplier at least.

There's somethin' fishy goin' on here...
Anyone else feel they nerfed the supply drops? Past few days it's been rare for me to get more than 1 item and even then it's generally garbage.

Also is it me or does the armory not count the default non - refundable items against your total even though they take a slot up.

How important is connection speed when playing online? The reason I ask is because many times when I die if I watch the kill cam the other player never even sees me fire at him before he kills me. On my screen I shoot at least 3-5 rounds before getting killed.

I haven't played Call of Duty since the original and I have never played shooters on consoles so I am pretty bad and fully expecting to die a lot. Also, my connection is 10mbps using the wireless PS4 connectivity.

Extremely important. Playing on wireless is severely handicapping yourself no matter what kind of connection you have, unless the PS4's uses some sort of magic I'm not familiar with.

Sometimes. Most of the time it just frustrates the hell out of you and makes the game unenjoyable.

From anecdotal research, the guns that benefit the most from high latency are the 1-shot-kill guns, like the rail pistol, MORS, Atlas 20mm, etc. It appears that a 1-shot weapon gets higher priority in netcode (which makes sense).

I tend to switch to those weapons when I have a bad connection, and do at least OK with them.

If shotguns aren't as good as the BLOPS 2 870, then they need to be buffed. :colbert:

All this BAL chat makes people forget the AK-12 with foregrip rules


Add whatever else you want (stock, silencer, etc) it's actually pretty good at hip firing so I'm doing comedy option laser sight. Gonna do noob tube with danger close when I get it

The irons are good and very minor differences but some versions have a full circle at the end of the irons and some have a half (half is better) not sure how many other guns have different irons between the variants

I completely agree with this analysis. The MORS is very useful when you're the worst connection in the lobby.

Yeah but I'm assuming you're a good player and not someone looking for every other reason than yourself for being slow. My wifi causes me to be looking in a completely different direction when I'm killed sometimes, or to fall into an out of bounds area. Also, I'll sometimes type in chat instead of reloading due to wifi in the keyboards.
