I don't think flak jacket is a requirement, I rarely burn a perk on flak jacket, and I cap points etc. etc. I feel like the last few CODs have lowered explosive / grenade damage. In MW2, sure grenades were redic but nowadays it's not so bad.

I like domination because like others said, it's a little bit more spawn control, and there is an element of strategy / team work beyond "zomg kills" - I also enjoy Hardpoint.

This, and domination also allows you to control certain areas better (or at least it makes more sense to do it) and if the other team wants to play like sissies they get handed a loss.

I dunno, I haven't had much issue with lag. Thing that kills me is that they still don't know how to make the shotgun consistent. I can come in top 3 consistently with the thing, but still have moments where within 10 feet I'll either have a hit marker and have to connect like 3 more times, or nothing at all. Shotgun running is some of the funnest poo poo there is and it seems every version they try to neuter it and make sniping stronger.

Still undecided as to whether I'm going to get this or not. But I like what I saw so far minus the :flaccid: shotguns.

It creates a sort of flowing trail that follows a moving person, but i think most people are using Hard Wired now to negate Tracker and Sixth Sense.

To go along with this Tracker works only if that person was just in that area. Look at the ground and you'll often see glowing footprints. It's pretty handy once you've gotten used to how it works.

I don't like the M8 nearly as much as the Sheiva after playing with both today. I've got thermal, high caliber, stock long barrel, and rapid fire on it and it shreds heads.

Also, got an ~8400 point dom game on Combine.

Got the Mothership a handful of times. Dunno if it was due to the lag but it seemed too hard to get kills with, had to put the reticle right on top of an enemy to even get a hitmarker. Splash damage should be increased.

I pretty much only have a PS+ sub for Destiny at this point. It seems like they hosed up the party chat recently because I hear a ton of noise from people now (that or they are using that awful mic that comes with the PS4).

So I really like the Shieva (SMR/FAL vibes) and the M8A7 (but IMR from AW is better), for obvious reasons.

But what about weapons that maybe are not as good that you find yourself wanting to get good at cause they look/sound so cool?

For me, it's the XR2. Nowhere near as good as the M8, but the thing is just so sweet looking and has a nice clanky sound. It sucked at first, but it's not that bad of a gun. And I don't even have rapid fire unlocked for it.

Also the VMP. The tall-rear end rail design brings back the PDW-57 from blops2 IMO...

I feel like at this point the only way they can fix the spawns is to increase the death timer and make the maps larger but we all know that if the ADHD playerbase have to wait 10 seconds after dying or run more than 10 feet without a firefight they will get bored and go play something else.

Actually there's more to spawns then just that, as BLOPS 2 CTF proved. Hunted is a big map and its pretty easy to spawn camp people.

Macys and I tried the Sheiva the other night and were initially very turned off by the ROF but after unlocking recon sight and some attachments it gets much much better. Between the RAZR and mano I'm very pleased with at least one of the guns in each category (haven't dipped into LMGs yet but from what I've heard they're decent).

Also, RK5 was serving me well as a secondary to Sheiva last night- any 1 on 1 CQB scenarios would usually tip my way if I had any sort of knowledge where the enemy was located prior to entering the room. Could be better with fast hands & exmags but I haven't unlocked those yet :/

Thermal is a huge improvement for the Sheiva. Rapid fire doesn't seem like a big improvement at all but it might still worth it. Honestly if I had to give up one of: stock, high caliber, long barrel, rapid fire, I'd probably drop rapid fire. I tried it again without long barrel after using it for a while and it felt like I wasn't getting nearly as many one headshot kills at even mid-range, and dropping stock or high caliber is obviously not happening.

I like how Awareness actually does something in this entry. It's nowhere near MW3 Sitrep Pro/Dead Silence combo, but it still saves me regularly.

Now that you've spent a good few hours getting acquainted with the control setup, does movement feel more fluid? I noticed death animations collide with objects and ragdoll and it looks like it could lead to some fun kill cams.
Anyone catch rage mic chatter after downing enemies? I didn't have the audio up too high when watching streams.

one thing i can definately say is that the game is balancing the teams based on SPM or stats or something because you will never, EVER wind up shuffled with the other tryhards. The game will always put them on opposing teams.

I've watched streams of really good players, and this isn't always the case. Last night I watched someone get put into a nearly finished game, and the top guy on the opposing/winning team (with like 40 kills or something) was put with the streamer the next game. Unfortunately, he left the lobby after that game so I don't know what the matchmaking would have done after that.
