I got the From The Grave challenge by going into HC Dom matches and spamming semtex at B then running towards it. I don't feel very good about myself, but it seems like the best way to get it.

Apparently people didn't like how powerful the DMRs were in Ghosts so SH made the semi auto guns weaker. It's insane how the M14 isn't a guaranteed 3 shot kill though.

How does the clan thing work? Will it hook me up with goons like gta v does? Hjalp I'm new to advanced warfare and just want to play with goons, what do I do? 360 if it matters.

I am convinced the only things the vast majority of the player base likes are assault rifles and snipers built for quickscoping. Anything else is overpowered and must be nerfed to cater to them.

I'm inclined to agree with this because SMGs were great in the multiplayer build at Gamescom (like E3, but in Germany), and now they're terrible.

The SMGs are ok but yeah ARs are usually the better option

lovely spawns are a large part of why a lot of us play Dom. Once you know the maps, you learn where the spawn boundaries are. Take A and B or B and C, and stay out of the territory of the third point, and they'll keep spawning anchored around that point. It's only when you (me) push too far that they flip and people spawn behind you.

Back when I used to play with goons like every day (when I was in college so... MW2) the thing I hated about Dom was how predictable the spawns were. With a good goon team you'd just cover like two pathways and keep the other team trapped on most maps. It barely felt like a challenge. HCS&D was the best goon game imho at least back then. I don't really play with goons anymore because I hate Dom so much

If any of you are struggling to get strafe kills for the camo on the ARs, do this:
1) Unlock the grenade launcher
2) Go play hardcore dom or hardcore KC
3) Jump up in the air and launch some grenades
4) ????
5) Profit!

I needed more than 20 strafe kills and got them in like 3 matches this way.

Decided to try out the KF5 Smg tonight while playing with goons and this thing is drat monster with grip and advanced rifling. Went 6.0 k/d a couple of times in the same session. Helps that it's one of the only smg with a 3 hit kill at a decent range.

Considering my playstyle is rushing B as fast as I possibly can this thing shreds people at close range incredibly fast.

There was a full group of us playing for a few hours as well as a couple of individuals playing on their own. The group disbanded at around 2:30am GMT - I was inviting you to play with us but you must have been too busy exploring Kyrat.

You're on 360. Post your Gamertag and maybe the 5 other 360 goons will add you and you'll see one of them online once.

Joining a goon clan will not help you as one is primarily Xbone and the other is PS3/4. Finding a 360 clan will require you to do a little research on your own.

if it looks like I'm exploring kyrat for a ton of hours in a row it's probably because I paused it and went to do something else

I saw some dudes in Detroit climbing up above A into the water tower thing on top of one of the buildings. Thankfully it was hardcore and I taught them the error of their ways by shooting them every time I saw them up there.

Tried this setup with Paladin in place of Bombing Run and have had some good results so far in Ground War Domination, I ended up getting 4 paladins in this match. Probably would have gotten more but I got super lazy in Round 2 and didn't bother finding a real hiding spot. Very fun build, still kind of subject to the same weaknesses as the other one I posted though the Paladin tends to get you more points to carry over to your next run of streaks than Bombing Run does so I can see this one gaining a crazy amount of momentum. On one of the cycles the Paladin + UAV + System Hack got me enough points for another UAV and System Hack, so I was pretty much ready to call in another Paladin effort free.

Paladin with extra time and sleight of hand seems to be the best set up for me. 1300 points is kind of a lot though.

You never posted your gamertag that I've seen, so I've no interest in doing the research through your post history to find out who to send a friend request to. Bummer, dude... I posted my gamertag and specified that I was on 360 a couple times, and have yet to receive a ping from you - why should I track down your info and try to send you a request, then?

Your post is the equivalent of someone on the side of the road with an empty gas can, flagging down motorists however, when they pull over to offer him a lift he asks them to go take his gas can to the nearest gas station and fill it up and return it to him.

You gotta put some small amount of :effort: in before anyone wants to give it back.

When there begins to be a worthwhile game library I'll do that. I didn't buy a 360 until they'd been out for like 4 years and have yet to regret not buying in earlier.
