All the attachments and camos were available though. None of this challenge grind bullshit.

I'm in the middle of the Mk14 no perks/attatchments grind and it's making me want to kill myself irl. Blops1 got a lot wrong but the unlock system was not one of them.

In other news, if you've not been using the stinger as an anti personnel weapon, you're missing out, it's hilarious.

I liked the BLOPS 2 attachment unlock system, but that might be just because your attachment unlocks persisted through a player prestige.

Yeah it usually triggers on my first death, to the point that if I survive past halftime it still won't trigger until I die. Rarely it happens on a random kill if I go 5 minutes + but I can;t see any real pattern for anything other than "welp you dead."

Yeah, usually it triggers on my first death of the match. On the rare occasion that I start off a match well, it triggers when I hit a bloodthirsty.

Depends on the length of the matches. If he was in 25 minutes of momentum it'd make sense.

Also playing alone lets you see just how many bad spawn points dom has.

Edit: Recovery has a map exploit that functions as a spawn trap in momentum.

Patch out for the systems that matter, no notes yet though. Some of the comments about weapon balance are encouraging though.

e:

drjakeyoung • 2 hours ago
kills in hardpoint and domination are now worth 100 points. Kills in the
hardpoint are 125, kills in domination spots are 150, so we're earning
killstreaks alot faster now. KC is still 50 and 50

Domination captures are now worth 200

Armory now has sections

When you unlock gun attachments they show up in new Items

Clan wars info on your screen

Your own minimap arrow is now white

Various weapon buffs and nerfs.

why release a patch without full notes? Or why did they release 2 patches as one last time and not specify which one had what fixes of the long list

I was playing with Knrosu and winterrmute for a bit, but it was "spawn in front of enemies and die in one bullet" night so I went and played something else instead.

Man those are nice balance tweaks that make me happy to try some guns I was disappointed in - although I'm not sure why the MP11 needed more max damage at optimal (melee) range. :D

The XMG especially, it was really frustrating to hit someone with it two or three times in hardcore and have then turn and kill you.

From reading around the EM1 buff isn't nearly as drastic as the 360/ps3 buff. Also no buff's for shotguns. :smith:

Holy poo poo. Is the initial base cap 200 points as well? I've always thought that kills in Dom should at least be 75 points, so this is great news.

I've had a couple of non-deathmatch games where this happened. Literally every time a hack ran out, another one cropped up. It is pretty awful when they are literally being chained together. ;)

My initial reaction to the 200 point dom cap was that they regressed to the Ghosts "only the first person on the point gets the points" model. If that's not the case then HOLY poo poo ABC BOYS LETS GET THESE STREAKS

Capping a point, allowing a single attacker to reclaim it then killing them & recapping could become a really good way to farm paladins and other high point non-support streaks for the first few minutes of the second round.

So we traded Bal of Duty for System Hack/Bombing Run of Duty. I don't really mind I guess, more streaks for me is cool too.

I was about to ask if there was some hack going on because the last game I played went like this


EXO SYSTEM HACK
BOMBING RUN
EXO SYSTREM HACK
BOMBING RUN

Within the first 3 minutes of the game. Granted we were getting beat, not bad mind you, but it didn't seem right to have that going on that early in a game of Domination.
