What the hell maps do you people think don't suck? I mean they're all clusterfucks of corners and ledges where you can be shot from a dozen angles.

I actually kind of like Greenband, but then, I stopped jumping into the pit after the first three times I played the map. It's trivially easy to jump over as long as you actually pay attention to where you are and where the pits are.

I like Ascent, Defender, Detroit, Instinct, and Comeback. The only ones I outright dislike are Greenband and Recovery. The rest I'm indifferent to.

I do find the first 20 seconds of comeback to be the best of any map. Cap A/C, run to B and watch 2 groups of people crash into each other or, one of the most majestic sights in nature: The migration of a flock of frag and Semtex grenades. *wipes tear from eye*

Just played my third match with the EM1 on xbox 360 - I got a first-ever ruthless kill with it.

For those poor enough to play on last gen only, the last patch really, REALLY broke the EM1. Seems literally like while balancing the weapons they put an extra zero on the damage multiplier for the gun. Just looking at someone lets me kill them.

The balance changes was in the last patch for 360, and it seems the BAL was nerfed pretty heavily - but PC, BONE and PS4 seem to have the normal BAL. That leads me to believe that balance changes snuck into our patch but they haven't hit the other systems.

Also challenges are currently bugged (at least on PS4, I dunno about other platforms, and I haven't played since this morning, so who knows if they have fixed it by now) so that, for example, getting one hipfire kill with the ASM1 will complete the level 1 challenges for ASM1 kills, ASM1 hipfire kills, ASM1 barebones (if you have no attachments), etc., and it will complete the level 2 challenges for the second kill, etc. You only get the XP for completing the challenge, not the attachments or camos, but leveling up is pretty fast right now.

It may be counting based on a past prestige for you. That's how it unlocks them when you're dealing with having 99/10 long shots, for example.

It's only happening because they decreased the requirements, so now you have access to a greater number of the camos based on the progress you already had - the game just doesn't know that yet.

Also, secret for everyone who got Carbon Fiber and Gold when they were /50 each, those count as completed toward diamond even though they've been upped to /150 and /200. So when you hit /150 and /200 in those, you get another set of completions and can basically skip all the headshots/longshots/hipfires/etc. since you'll be two ahead.

Just got all the camos unlocked on EM1 after never using it before, and trying it for the first time a few hours ago. My build is:

ATTACHMENTS: Heat Sink, Foregrip, Quickdraw Grip
PERK 1: Lightweight
PERK 2: Gung Ho, Cold-Blooded
PERK 3: Toughness

WILDCARD 1: Three primary weapon attachments
WILDCARD 2: Two second perks.

I'm wrecking with it. Never bother aiming - just hipfire all day.

You should be able to turn down the game audio with the adapter. Just press the voice chat button until you hear it beep. Sadly it's a cross-fade between game and voice, not separate volumes for each.

They really broke the EM1 on 360. If you aren't fighting at sniper range it wrecks any other gun. No recoil, perfect accuracy hip firing that zaps shootbros dead faster than you can sneeze. My KDR double from when I was using the Bal or HBr. I also had the strangest couple games where the enemy team kept trying squeeze into a little cuddlepile in a corners. Is this some kind of thing? I got a shitload of 4 and 5 kill medals from everytime I walked in on their little truck stop orgy and ended one match with a 17.5 KDR. That was cool I guess.

I'm really hoping they fix the EM1. I like shooting bullets, but I'm a tryhard and I feel like I'm handycapping myself if I'm not putting on a planetarium laser light show like everyone else.

Edited to add: The EM1 even destroys SAC3 and Shotgun builds up close. It's loving rediculous.

On the x11 there are different wheels to set game and voice chat though, on top of the voice chat button on the adapter, so it shouldn't make a difference

also: is there a way to edit emblems outside of in-game or phone apps?

But the adapter does both game and voice chat, in addition to having the headset plugged into an audio out from the tv.

Maybe xbone treats my xp5blahblah differently then, but if I have the game/voice balance on anything but only voice I get the same thing, I just dim the balancer down all the way to voice. The +/- on the right side only adjusts the chat volume for me. The audio coming from the tv should only react to the volume adjusters on the x11 chord right?

maybe I am too tired for this conversation. See ya in the morning, I'm sure I'll be on.

Yeah, I had that set up for the longshot camos. Haven't worked that out of it yet...

I also realized that the camo system is abhorrently broken for the time being, so I'm not using the EM1 all of the sudden.

When you prestige, at least on the 360, it resets your challenges to zero but you save your progress. So basically, I got diamond on five of the six assault rifles (all but the MK14). I prestiged, and then jumped on the AK12 and killed someone while boosting. I got a Strafe medal, and it then went "OH HEY HE HAS 40 STRAFE MEDALS ON THIS" and gave me the challenge... again. Then it went "OH HEY HE COMPLETED ALL THE CAMOS ON THIS" and it gave me the Diamond... again.

Then it took that new Diamond progression, +1'd the class camo completion, and went "OH HEY HE HAS SIX OUT OF SIX ASSAULT RIFLES DONE, HERE IS THE ROYALTY CAMO AND DIAMOND LOADOUT."

I then went to EM1, the only heavy weapon I used, and realized Royalty is currently 2/5, as it has now counted the Diamond completion on the EM1 twice.

So now I'm raging through the submachine guns to unlock some of the camos before prestiging again, whenever I get to that. I'm already level 22...

The atlas pistol is better at range and up close than the mk14. I am not kidding. Test it out. The MK14 is slightly slight better at midrange though so its got that going for it.
