Fun games tonight guys. Got extremely laggy for a bit there but we got some good matches in. I haven't used the Weevil yet but I feel like all of the ARs and SMGs are viable. Yay weapon balance! Also, black hat needs a nerf. UAVs stay in the air for mere seconds before they're either shot down or hacked.

I can't tell if carpet bomb and lightning strike are really weak or if the hellstorm missiles are just stupid strong. It feels impossible to get less than 2 kills with the latter, whereas the first two often just whiff completely

The Weevil kinda feels like horse poo poo. It seems like it's a 4-5 hit kill at all ranges which is some hot garbage for a gun with as much recoil as it has.

The default BRM is a solid LSAT clone, and a soothing balm to the steaming hot shitpiles of disappointment that are the pump shotgun and semi-auto rifle.

Hoooly gently caress, it's SMR levels of slow for it's ROF. It's no loving FAL at all. More like FAIL.

The semiauto AR definitely has some Ghosts marksman rifle firerate going on, but killing in one headshot or two bodyshots out to the longer side of mid-range is pretty decent.

Dingo is pathetically weak with a silencer and only has 60 rounds' capacity.

Of all the things I was expecting a destiny-style timed power up was not one of them.

Also the movement system is pretty natural but with such small distances to cover it fills a similar gap as the jump pack does. In titan fall you used it to cover large distances, bouncing from point to point to save your pack. Here you are running about ten feet

Also I am bad at console shooters, PC gaming has ruined me holy poo poo

Thanks to these betas, I might not be buying any Call of Duty games this year, especially on console. I'm kinda tired of paying money to play games with P2P Multiplayer, anyway. The PC version doesn't have this "hybrid system" BS.

Black hat takes forever to hack something, it's usually not worth hacking a UAV/CUAV, just shoot it down with the launcher.

The real place black hat shines is hacking things like the wraith or raps dropship. It's crazy how you get to take it over. I think you need multiple black hats, bigger streaks have "firewalls", which I luckily found out when someone tried to hack my hatr.

Also, the initial lmg is totally more m60 than lsat. I think it's always a 3hit kill? Putting rapid fire on it is great.


New shotgun is great, it just suffers from the lag problem all guns do, where strafing makes a bunch of shots miss. If they're moving towards/away from you or you have host pro it owns bones.

Wasn't thinking of the damage, I was going by the rate of fire and it's lack of recoil; no grip required. :hellyeah:

If you whip out your black hat immediately and start hacking when you hear the UAV is up, you can get it with slightly more than 50% of its time left. You then get 50 points instead of the 75 for shooting it down, but you also get UAV assist points. I tend to go for the hack if our team doesn't have one but shoot it down otherwise.

As for firewalls, every score streak from guardian and up needs two black hats to hack, the first one takes down the firewall and the second steals it. The firewall seems like it also takes longer than the steal. You can hack individual R.A.P.S. balls but it's way better to just hack the drop ship. If you're quick you can get 2/3rds of them on your side instead of theirs

Yeah hacking Wraiths and RAPS ships is fun as hell. Takes forever though and many times I just get blown up in the attempt because you have to stand out in the open like a retard. However, having a RAPS halfway through its pattern start dropping hostile bombs on the person who called it in is funny as poo poo. UAVs and trip mines only take 1, most everything else is 2. That seems a fair compromise.

And it's hilarious seeing how latency varies from game to game. It's really obvious with the small map rotation. Macys and I were playing last night and we could get the same map twice in a row against the same people and one game I'd have a 2.8 KDR and the next 0.47. If it was at least consistent I could probably learn to adjust.

FTFY. I said last night it seems like they're just throwing poo poo at the walls to see what sticks when it comes to spawns. Got killed 3x by the same guy because he was running in a straight line and I kept spawning directly in front of him. Popped up once in the other team's spawn and got shot in the back by somebody who spawned in behind me. Also spawning in directly in someone's LoS seems common too. Seems like they did tweak flipping the spawns faster though which helps some.

holler.
Only got a chance to play about 6 hours over 2 days. I think I got to level 15. I didn't put much variety into my classes and didn't try out too many weapons. The first AR was OK, but I think I liked the second's slower rate of fire. I found sniping to be a little difficult, but only because I kept expecting quick ads and target acquisition. Blops sniping has been my favorite in the series so when I remembered to slow down I was having more success. Kills are EXTREMELY FORGIVING with body shots. Holy poo poo. And I'm totally fine with it, given the direction of movement mechanics recently.

Movement feels way better than AW. I hated having to constantly press my left thumb stick. But, wall running seemed like more of a novelty on these maps. The maps felt too small for the mechanic to be useful.

The most fun I had in beta was in the last hour I played. Kill confirmed, shotgun. It's already been said. Hit detection can be frustratingly inconsistent. Range is insane when you land shots. Wish I played long enough to unlock long barrel.

I got killed by the razer(?) a lot. Is that like the ak-74u? After a very long year away from cod, it was fun to jump back in. Not sure if I'll pick it up this year, though.

I haven't played that much but it has a good blops 2 + titanfall feel to it. More interesting than AW. Still not sure I'm going to buy it because I'm still on the Destiny train (still burned after spending $100 on AW and barely playing it) and I'd rather stick to one multiplayer shooter and get gooder at it than jump back and forth between games.

I went back to play Ghosts for a few games just to see if I was going crazy and misremembering.

... nah, CoD has gone monkeyfuck mountain dew adrenaline adhd speed since then.

It feels so much slower and more deliberate (not in a bad way) than AW or BO3.

Dunno. On the fence on this game. I don't dislike the mobility as much as AW, but infinite sprint + fast movement + wall running + jetpacks + small three lane maps = eh. Supers are kind of... why also.

May stick with Destiny for ttk pvp, move on to Titanfall 2/Ghosts 2 next year.

Ghosts was an abortion of a CoD. Big, serpentine maps aren't fun. Treyarch seems to have figured out that three lane maps make the most sense for the CoD formula. BO3 incorporated some 3D movement but avoided the staccato boost jump mechanics of AW that forced a lot of the gunfights to occur in the air.
