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 actually like Recovery, it's easier to get streaks because the flags shift halfway through the round and you can get extra capture points. Plus no one can hide from Bombing Run :getin:

Tuesday morning pubbies were especially awful. And I learned that the Warbird wrecks people even better in Hardcore.

I try to like every weapon, I really do, but this is pretty much a true statement. I'm grinding out 300 kills to see if the variant with +2 damage can redeem it, and this is hell. I'm just barely making the top 6 every game.

I really wish they had included select fire as an attachment, given how many guns are semiauto or burst fire.

How do you find the long ADS time? Do you only use it for certain maps?

If I have bombing run ready to go before the second half flag switch i will wait and risk losing my paladin purely because dropping a bombing run on second half recovery is just a massacre. It's loving cruel.

So, those were some infuriating games last night, huh? This game is super fun WHEN IT WORKS. It just seems we can't get a long streak of good connection games because it gives a group of rando pubbies god connection.

Remind me never to get in a foxhole with Jack - he runs at the first sign of danger. We were in the middle of a back and forth round capping A when the enemy called in a Vulcan - the coward jumps off the point with one tick left to let me get cooked. You are on team XxXsnIpezX 2.0 probation.

That was a solid win - we all went something like 10-25 and somehow pulled it out. Some guy on the other team went 43-3 with 10 caps. It was good to have a crew that was willing to put up with a round like that and not jump ship because we weren't up 150-10.

The matchmaking in this game is busted. I played 5 games after I got home from work last night (first time since Sunday) and it was the worst its ever been. I could only kill people consistently when they weren't looking at me.

The last game was the worst. The game decided to put two clans together on one team. Having one friend on my team suddenly means I can take on two clans at once? The connection was unbearable. I was using a rapid fire KF5 and just kept getting melted by Bals.

Skill-based matchmaking is pointless when you can't see player stats, anyway.

Have there been any afternoon groups going? This time of year means a lot of work from home days for me, which means a lot of COD. Haven't seen many on the past few days, please don't tell me this one died already.

I'm not sure how long the ADS time is, but it doesn't feel that long. I really want the elite variant that supposedly has faster ADS time. I think it's usable on every map, but I use it less on maps like Detroit and Terrace.

I just got this game yesterday and what the gently caress is wrong with the spawns? No matter which mode I play, you can't hold ground because the spawns are just random. What's been cleared in the last 5 seconds becomes deep enemy territory. Oh you just captured that point? Someone spawned behind you and killed you.

I haven't even tried TDM yet.

Is this post specific to AW because it sounds damned well like just about every other Call of Duty I've played in the past 10 years or so.

I decided to use the H-whatever assault rifle and run around instead of using my kf5.

sliding whilst shooting rating: 5/5. Much more fun than kf5 sliding and shooting, feels great.

As with any COD game, the smart thing to do upon spawning is to spin 360 degrees whilst hip firing. Only then should you move from your spawn spot. Due to the sniper cross-hairs that will be trained on you, hip fire in a wave formation to catch people who are higher up than you.

E: And then get hit by a missile strike/Paladin.

I also don't get how you could run with anything besides an automatic weapon. No one is using anything else. There's shotguns and sniper rifles but what's the point of trying to be sneaky when people just put a sight which highlights you in red like a sitting duck anyway. As if any of the maps are big enough to snipe.
