What gun are you going to use in this Call of Duty?
	The good one that everyone else uses
	Another, different gun

as in all cod games the best way to cap b is just to shoot the other guys before they kill you

Vykk Draygo: Nov 26, 2005; Let's Do This.

I haven't played CoD since BLOPS2, and I'm thinking of picking this up. I use to run around with a P90 and murder everything, can you still do that in this or is that style of play not very feasible anymore?

Yep there's a not-p90 in this and you can totally run around doing that.

Best way to cap B is let your teammates do it while you rack up the kills playing team slayer.

Macys' is for killing poo poo, if you want to cap B all day errday this is what I use:

LMG for spraying bullets everywhere (I use the BMR because I'm bad with the Gorgon though I know it's a good gun)
Secondary to flavor, I use a launcher

Blind Eye
Hard Wired
Engineer

Tactician

Trophy System
Smoke Grenade

You don't have any lethals on this build, but with smoke and a trophy you can protect yourself from any type of grenade and obscure the point so you don't get your rear end shot off. You can use an AR just fine too since the LMG makes you run like you've got diarrhea and don't want to poo poo your pants. Blind eye keeps scorestreaks from targeting you. You don't need tac mask since the trophy takes care of that for you. You could also swap out HW for cold-blooded.

Why no Flak & Tac on your cap class?
How many 'nades does a trophy stop?

I keep having this problem with killstreaks.

I suck, so I run RC, UAV, Care Package because that's basically what i can realistic get every once in a while.

In the packages you get things like Cerberus, Wraith, HATR and have no clue what they are. And they're all just new versions of existing things with clear names like Assault Drone and Gunship.

Yeah maybe in other FPS you go for the point, but this is COD.

Speaking of I kinda wanted to try out CTF even though this is COD, but there are literally 0 people playing CTF on PC.

Its like 75% team deathmatch, 10% free for all, 5% some hardcore mode and the remaining bit sprinkled on a few other playlists.

Cerberus=Automatic little robot tank, like whatever-it-was-called in BO2. HATR I have no loving idea. Wraith is the...chopper gunner, I think? But yeah they're kinda obtuse. And the Power Core is actually a deployable EMP because that makes sense, somehow.

HATR is Blackbird/VSAT. The super UAV.

Wraith isn't controllable I don't think. It's like Harrier without the air strike.

Ooooh okay, there is still a Blackbird, awesome.

So the Wraith is the plain old 7-kill streak Attack Chopper?

Really? On PS4, it's like 50% TDM, 25% Domination, and 5-10% on everything else. Thankfully, the best game mode in every Call of Duty game, Kill Confirmed, is usually close to 10%.

They should seriously just remove TDM and replace free-for-all with a KC version, because the KC mechanics are infinitely better than regular deathmatches.

I've been playing basically nothing but core hardpoint up to 2nd prestige and I've never really had an issue finding a lobby. Hardpoint is also the default tryhard pub mode, so most lobbies will have good players in them which often leads to pretty fun and close matches. CTF in COD has always been unpopular it does not fit COD at all, Uplink is basically CTF except actually good.

Unlocked the combat knife. It is bad, knifing is dead forever

It one hit kills, but you stop sprinting when you swing the knife and basically become a free kill to anyone nearby.

Do you stop sprinting even if you have Gung Ho equipped? That would be pretty weird if that were the case.

I mean by the end every named character is dead. Hendricks gets popped in the face and then just bitches out in the cyber realm. The AI was just confused and unaware of what it was doing; all it wanted was a safe place. My lesbian lover Rachel dies like a punk. Taylor gets popped in the face, and his team gets either brain hosed my me or Hendricks or impaled on wreckage. You get to stumble outside and say your name before going brain dead.

Rewatch that last scene; Taylor survives just fine!

Also, still nowhere near as horrifying as Spec Ops, whoof

Yep. You stop sprinting until the knife swing animation completes. I tried a kniferunning build with the speedrunning specialist, Gung Ho and Fast Hands (just in case since it used to make a difference in BLOPS1) but it wasn't very successful because getting away after you make a kill is hard.

I guess I have to resort to using the Haymaker to generate rage

My PSN name is Deadshanks, however I'm in Japan so the times I'm on will be like 3-8 AM US time, so if there's any early morning goons around hit me up.

I always have a weird cycle when I play CoD games. I start out terrible, then I get a little better, then I start playing a longer ranged AR loadout, then I move to a fast-paced SMG loadout, then I switch to a total stealth loadout, at which point I start to do terrible again. Then I go back to long-ranged AR. Then I repeat this forever.

Maybe by the time you switch to your stealth loadout, silencers will work properly. They currently cut weapon range by 50-90% percent.

Yeah the only thing I've been running a silencer with is the Weevil, because if I'm more than 10 yards away I'm not going to kill anyone with that thing anyway.
