It looks like they've also removed the most popular camp spots from BO2 - the sign now blocks off visibility from the lounge at A down the alleyway next to the C garage, and I haven't seen anybody doing either the A or C spawn point wallbangs. I couldn't get up on the railing by A either, but I think that's probably just sheer incompetence.

I don't think I've ever had a consistent open NAT in any Call of duty, and I can't figure it the gently caress out.

I've tried forwarding about a dozen ports, i've tried setting up a DMZ, i've tried enabling/disabling UPNP. It's basically sorcery at this point. I have no idea what animal blood i'm not spilling but nothing works

The Xbox itself tells me open while CoD says Moderate, so I assume the issue is with the game.

This might be due to the Xbone checking the regular ports (TCP: 80, UDP: 88, 500, 3544, 4500, TCP/UDP: 53, 3074), and CoD also checking TCP/UDP 3075.

Yeah but I haven't forwarded anything, so UPNP is obviously working fine with the Xbone. It's CoD that's not.

How's the connection going for a full 6 player party on the xbox one? Been trying multiple times with goons on PS4 and it's just been impossible to deal with, either the matchmaking doesn't work or we get 200+ ping.

Right. So try forwarding 3075 because the Xbone's UPNP isn't doing that one for you and CoD needs it.

I actually haven't had any real issues with it, so I'm just going to leave it.

There's 2 Xbones in the house anyway, so I can't forward both.

4 loving hours and and poo poo to show for it cause of the campaign bugging out, even my checkpoint's bugged, then I join some friends for realistic, host Xbone freezes and now we gotta do that loving mission over again.

gently caress it, I haven't beaten a campaign since MW2, guess that ain't gonna change.

So is a headshot with most weapons not a kill? I've heard several recommendations for XR-2 with High Caliber (Any other attachments recommended? I usually do quickdraw or something, but I also think I might sprint way too much considering how bad I am).

The 3-burst sniper rifle with a recon scope + bullet penetration is the best gun.

Edit: It can destroy pretty much anything faster than a missile launcher

Just had an update message that kicked me to the main menu. Now Nuketown is gone. R.I.P. fast XP. Guess I'll have to learn the other maps now.

Apparently Nuketown is now in the Chaos Moshpit playlist.

Sounds good to me. I usually have Sunday and Monday nights off so those will be my main nights to play.

Also, to the dude asking about the Gorgon:

Stay a little longer range when possible. The ADS time is slow, so you can't run n' gun like with an SMG. Stick with the default sight and slap the Quickdraw + Grip on that sucker once you unlock them. You also have to get out of the habit of reloading so much. It has a 50 round mag and reloads super slow. When you're in hallways and tunnels switch to your Secondary because you'll get killed before you can shoot in those circumstances.

it can feel weird to use at first, but it's a 2 shot death machine once you get a handle on it. Especially once you get to know the maps a little better and can predict where people are most likely to come from.

StandsForVice on reddit blops3 found a ***massive spoiler*** that makes the campaign make a lot more sense: Link

you died in mission 1, and the rest of the game is one long DMT trip enhanced by the DNI, with parts of Taylors life also flashing before your eyes. it explains the fear of robots you have, why rachel says goodbye to you in the hospital but acts like nothing happened later, the beginning part where Taylor in the hospital is all ohh gently caress, and how it gets more surreal at the end, etc.

We can still videogame in the new year if you do!

I do miss playing CoD games with the old 360 brits/LADS crew though, when I switched to PS4 I haven't really played any of the recent ones anywhere near as much as I used to with those chaps.

Same here! Fond memories of the Tower of Power in BLOPS 1 :allears:

I don't have BLOPS 3 for PS4 yet as I'm on holiday, but should be back and playing at the end of the month. Hopefully there will still be LADS playing over Christmas...

So it's pretty much like Jacob's Ladder

I'm about wrapped up with the Campaign, or at least what I'll play of it. For some reason, I have this compulsion to complete the Single Player aspects of games, then move over to Multiplayer. Probably because I know I'll never go back to SP.
I don't get too much time to play during the week, mostly weekends between 4am-7am EST and some off-hours in the afternoon. So if you either live over in Europe or are up that goddamn early, hit me up! It's been a fuckin long time since I've played with Goons (last time I think was MW3).

Headshots are just a multiplier. 1.5x, or 2x damage or something like that. With many weapons that means 1 isn't enough for a kill.

I took three direct shots to the head with the man o war on a stationary target who wasn't facing me - it honestly felt like there was no headshot multiplier at all.
