Hardwired is a must to not have to deal with system hacks.

Ever since they got rid of the skull blocking the entire screen, Hardwired has become unnecessary for me; nobody uses the Exo jammer perk, and it doesn't stop the streak-killer perk.

Hell, I run Red Dots on most of my classes and I still don't need it. Best nerf ever. :woop: 420 Blast Suppressor & Hardline er'ry dayyay, etc. etc..

Genuinely curious, has anyone managed to take out a UAV/paladin with a launcher other than a stinger?
Mine glitched and gave me the royalty for them all before the patch, but curious how hosed people now are, I tried for several hours to take down a UAV with the other 2 with a 0% success rate.

In other news the ASM1 Speakeasy is clearly now the best gun in the game.

I miss the variety of streaks - BLOPS2 had 22 streaks - there are only 12 in AW. I do like the ability to customize them however, but it doesn't add all that much beyond making a few of them support. MW3 had it best - 15 assault steaks, 12 support and specialist.

Upgrading would be better if they actually gave you what the name of the upgrades implied. Instead of UAV, replace it with VSAT, AUAV, CUAV, or Oracle. Make people choose between them instead of being able to go UAV->CUAV->VSAT, and then maybe people would stop bitching about how overpowered VSATs seem. And make sure they all have separate point costs that are scaled in a way that makes sense. Start with Recon Drone and then choose to upgrade to Hunter Killer or Assault Drone, Chopper upgrades to Escort Drone or Pavelow, Reaper upgrades to AC-130/Paladin, etc.

Killstreaks were definitely better in Black Ops 2 and MW3. Even without support, the ones in BLOPS 2 were really fun.

This is also the first COD game since MW3 where I do not have the most kills with C4, and that's only because there is no C4. I'm hoping Treyarch brings it back. Also, I've been hoping for the return of the flamethrower attachment since Black Ops 1.

Network seemed to go to poo poo last night. Was anyone else playing? (PS4)

Either that or it was just TimeWarner being a lovely ISP as per their SOP. Even the PS4 seemed like it was hesitating a bit, which is strange, but it only did it for CoD. When I switched to Killzone to finish off the single player campaign all system hesitations ceased.

Anyone else experience this?

I didn't start C4ing until the end of BLOPS2 and into Ghosts, but I really miss it. Its better than tubing.

I've been playing Titanfall with Stu and Javes. There is a hilarious amount of new players so it's fun to smash on them.


And besides that, Dragon Age, and also I guess COD is kind of boring.

I've been solo'ing NetFlix on the 'bone lately. I played COD last weekend when I got bombarded with invites while I was watching my stories. If I get enough invites popping up to make a show unpleasant to watch, I'm more likely to switch.

Most of the changes are nice, but the game's terrible matchmaking and netcode ruin it.

How is the DLC for that? I've been thinking of playing it again but its probably pointless if I don't have the map packs.

Actually, the non-DLC playlists have the most players on them. So you're fine not having the DLC, although I think most of the DLC maps are pretty good.


Also, fun fact: if you don't have the map packs, you get matched up against bad players. :getin:

I tried ranked play and it has the most asinine rules ever. Uav, care package, and tracker drones are banned. Recon drones are completely ok. Goddamn this cod has so much wasted potential.

All in all this game is better than ghosts but just barely. The netcode and the asm1 being the defacto best gun just kills all my interest in this game. Really wish I hadn't got the season pass.

Yeah those games the other night with you and Pigs were pretty annoying connection wise. Though after you two left the connections improved and we were mostly getting 4 bars. Aside from poor weapon balance I really like this game. Really curious to see what Treyarch does this year. Do they go back to traditional gameplay with no exo? Anyway, the connection is usually good for me and the maps aren't terrible like Ghosts. Two guns being far and away superior to everything else is disappointing though.
