The one with Rapid Fire is called Reckless. I was watching a streamer use it today and it just melts people.

That's the one I've been using. I find it more reliable than the +2 Accuracy Range variant.

I just started playing a few weeks ago and the PS4 clan doesn't seem too active. There were maybe 5 or 6 people on for the last clan war? I'll be off and on over the next few weeks in between holiday stuff. psn:spancypantz

I've been playing other poo poo but am happy to shoot mans. If you see me on playing something else send me an invite, I'll switch because with the exception of HCKC I don't like playing solo and if I do log on and nobody's playing then I go play something else.

Unless the app is bugging out again, we're back up to Platinum division! Looking forward to the next clan war (3 days from now) where we all fail to take nodes and go back to Bronze.

Edit: we have also earned a bunch of clan tokens I guess, but they don't do anything yet.

Ovenbaked Muffin has made a video analyzing this game's netcode. Its about 15 minutes long, so I'll give the TLDR version. Basically, the netcode is bad, dedicated servers are (somehow) worse then player-based hosts, and their lag compensation is broken (because you have to guess whether or not to fire where they were or where they're going).

For the most part this game plays quite well for me. Though with a ranked playlist they should probably just remove SBMM from normal unranked games entirely. If I remember correctly his Blops 2 netcode video was also pretty critical and that game is great.

He also got in a jab at the Ubisoft "30 FPS is more cinematic" statement, so he's just swinging for the fences on this one.

It's amazing to see what you guys have coming at you with this game. Battlefield people just spent the better part of the last year dealing with some of what we considered to be the worst connections and netcode issues in the franchise and only recently were they fixed. Still, they were nothing like what this guy was showing off. I hope the old BOYS crew isn't suffering from this too often.

I dunno, I think the mutual deaths in BF were more annoying. That game can swallow a lot of lag issues because of bullet travel time (i.e. you are already leading the target).

The connections have been fine for since I unlocked the Mountain Dew pants and when Marauder doesn't host and the host isn't from India or Mexico. I'm very surprised that I haven't been placed with anybody from Japan yet as that used to happen quite often playing Black Ops 1 and 2, although I may well have been but you can't see where people are from unless they have it in their bio or have some other giveaway.

I think it's the matchmaking which is more hosed up than the netcode this time around as there is no way that when I decide to play by myself should I ever be placed into a lobby where 3/4 of the players are from India.

He said that in his network analysis of Ghosts. He hated MW3 and BLOPS 2.

One other thing I forget to mention from his AW video is that he talks about how Ghosts fixed a bug in COD where bullets will occasionally count as blanks, hence why people die so fast compared to previous games (the gun damage is in line with previous CODS). AW does not have this "fix." It does gun damage like BLOPS 2 where there are occasional variables.

According to Microsoft, everything on Xbox Live is fine except the Maxim app, the MLG.TV app, the IGN app and the ability to sign in.

Of course since you can't sign in you can't do anything else so it's not like that matters.
