Only thing I found that came kinda close was Blacklight: Retribution but it had a dumb F2P microtransaction model which kinda ruined it.

This wouldn't be nearly as much of a thing if people didn't go around screaming "DONT PLAY ON PC". Bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The last time there was a goon playerbase on the PC large enough to merit a separate thread was Black Ops 1.

Their thread died without any help from us within the first six months. It hasn't been necessary for a new PC only thread since.

We've had separate PC threads since, but only because the PC players kept posting about their hardware and asking what they need to run the game, and even though they have all have/exceed the required specs the game still runs like poo poo and crashes. I think there was an AW thread that got archived a couple of months after it was made because nobody posted in it.

If PC gamers want to play a Quake 3 engine game, Q3A already exists. I don't see why they waste their time with CoD; it belongs to consoles now, the time of CoD on PC is past. :rip:

Why aren't they using 100% dedicated servers? They've more money than most poor countries.

AirRaid: Dec 21, 2004; Nose Manual + Super Sonic Spin Attack

Blops 3 does use dedicated servers though. Same as 2 did. What you actually want is a server browser with persistent or third party servers rather than the Matchmaking system. Just becaause it uses a matchmaking system to throw you in a lobby doesn't mean it's P2P.

And the answer to your question is that this system makes it easier for the average console chucklefuck to get into a game.

I just installed the beta for PC and within the first 60 seconds of me joining a game I got called a shotgun jew and was then told that I am human being who should kill himself. PC players really are the best.

For some reason the movement seems sluggish even with the sensitivity turned all the way up, what's the deal with that?

There are the usual smattering of utter fucktards playing, yeah.

Also apparently the mouse movement is somehow tied to framerate so turn poo poo down oor drop to 720p or something, it'll help.

Worse than both of those things though. The Beta has been out for how long on PC? 3 Days? I saw an Aimbot today. :negative:

Make sure your resolution matches the native resolution of your monitor before adjusting your graphics settings to tweak the fps, or you'll add additional input lag as the monitor up/downscales the image.

Yes this is a reasonable and not at all pants-on-head retarded.

Also arguing that a CoD PC thread died in six months isn't much of an argument. Getting six mnonths out of a multipalyer fps is pretty par for the course for me, generally that still equates to hundreds of hours soooo

David Vonderhaar posted:

Here is a summary of the weapon tuning and Specialist weapon and ability tuning changes we made for the Playstation beta and just released for the Xbox One beta. Still TBD if we are going to do this for PC.

Adjustments to the following weapons:

M8A4
Increased time in between bursts �
Has a slightly increased upward recoil pattern �

Drakon
Increased Recoil
Fire rate is a little faster
Hitting an enemy in the upper chest no longer 1-hit kills. Neck up does 1-hit kill

Razorback
Used to kill in 4 shots out to 1250 units, now should only kill in 4 shots out to 800. Anything beyond 800 should take 5 shots to kill. 850 units is roughly the length of the bridge on Hunted.
Slightly increased recoil

HVK
Hip spread size is a little smaller.

Vesper
Used to kill in 4 shots out to 350 units, now should only kill in 4 shots out to 300. Anything beyond 300 units will be at least 5 shots to kill.

Haymaker
Fire rate has increased by about 10%. Should be noticeable. Should take roughly 2.25 seconds to empty a standard magazine.

KRM
Up close damage increased. Should never cause a non-lethal hit within 250 units. Damage at a further distance has been reduced and can�t 1 hit kill as far out, even when ADS.

XR-2
Delay between bursts has been reduced by a frame, very slight change.

Kinetic Armor
Lasts 7 seconds now instead of 5

Active Camo
Lasts 5 seconds now instead of 4

Glitch
Takes 2 full minutes to earn with no score, up from 1.5 minutes.
Travels back 700 units, down from 800

Vision Pulse
Range is 1400 units, down from 1600

Ripper
Takes 2 full minutes to earn with no score, down from 3 minutes.
Lasts for 20 seconds if no attacks are made, up from 15 seconds.

Tempest
Beam has a slightly smaller width. Have to be more on target to hit enemies
Time in deathcam after being killed is now 2.5 seconds, down from 3

Speed Burst
Stays on when moving at full speed after activating for 5.5 seconds, up from 5

War Machine
Clip size is now 6, down from 8
Explosion radius damage is slightly reduced

Rejack
Takes 3 full minutes to earn with no score, down from 2 minutes.
The animation time to get up from the Rejack has been increased from 1 second to 1.5 seconds.
