Back when blops 2 was still new I played on stolen wifi. It's amazing I did as well as I did.

Edit: Also used my laptop as a wifi router. So my 360 was hooked into my laptop via ethernet cable and the laptop was using wifi from the neighbors house.

The Tac19 seems pretty mediocre at best. To paraphrase Macys, it's no BO2 870. It gets a lot more hitmarkers from the first shot instead of kills than I would expect out of it.

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 started using the hbra3 with a red dot, grip, laser sight, and it is fantastic with that first burst going extra fast.

Vvv: put a laser sight on everything.

This seems like a good loadout because I don't need to bother using any gun other than my ripped turret, the thing is a insane beast, 5 minutes into the game I'm able to take it out and drop fools with it instead of using an actual gun.


Hopefully the next patch won't nerf it and keep it OP.

I'm just having fun playing alone and running gimmick builds in TDM and getting kids to ragequit by planting spike drones around and calling them back to me through peoples loving heads like the dude from Phantasm.

That Spike Drone may have replaced the tomahawk as my favourite throwable, but like idk, starting with Ghosts I was just like gently caress it, I'm going to spend as much time seeing how hard I have to hinder myself to actually consistently do poorly. Hell I spent a few games today just hipfiring the pistols to unlock the tac knife and i was still going 2:1. These TDM kids are loving BAD and it's so much fun.

I hadn't played Momentum before tonight. So far it seems pretty fun, although my tactics thus far have been either Atlas 20mm quickscoping or using my ASM1 "Pro Pipe" with Danger Close and the MDL. A premade against randoms is probably more likely to have a crushing victory; we've been having games end in elss than a minute and a half, win and lose.

Ground War Domination on Comeback or whatever is a nightmare clusterfuck.

Comeback is literally the easiest.

UAV with the wallhack + Turret that is a sentry, 360 and immune to emp set up on the B flag and you win.
