It would be really cool if they pulled some Command & Conquer type poo poo and sent future-soldiers back to WWII to clean up hordes of nazis.

Like, redoing the Normandy landings as a decked-out loving super-soldier; tackling fifteen nazis into a wall and shooting spike grenades into bunkers.
Seriously the best part of the BO2 campaign. Going back in time with a self-targeting light machine gun and a gatling cannon like some sort of rear end in a top hat terminator mowing down cartel dudes with AK's. :black101:

I'm rapidly finding that everyone playing the same characters in MP is loving horrid. No distinguishing features between teams while everyone is running around as the same characters. :bravo: At least in previous games you could tell at a quick glance if a dude is on your team or not.

I'm not going to pretend it's obvious, but there is a distinguishing feature; enemy players are covered in red LEDs.

People say that Rejack is poo poo after the beta nerf, but I guess they're the ones just playing team deathmatch. It's actually quite nice in Domination, where you can rush with lots of teammates and still cap B because you get another chance and the enemy is probably aiming at other people while you come back to life.

But I must max it.

This game is going to suck rear end trying to level everything to max. It's even more SMG slanted than ever before.

It's good for winning games, but once it didn't let you keep streaks everyone moved on.

I've been using it exclusively and it still seems fine v:shobon:v

Though it does have a tendency to whiff every now and then and just fire blanks, but it's a CoD shotgun so I expect that to happen. PC player here so YMMV.

I haven't really played a COD game since the original BLOPS, and it was my understanding that they stopped you being able to just vote for the same map over and over again (24/7 Nuketown). All I've done today is play domination on Combine. Map vote seems pretty broken right now.

Spent all day yesterday playing only Nuketown in the chaos moshpit playlist, never saw another map the entire time

Not complaining, I love Nuketown :unsmith:

Whenever I see the smoke pop after I kill a nomad I just swap to my pistol and keep dumping into it until he either cancels rejack or gets shot while stuck lying prone. Occasionally I'll get shot while doing it but it's still totally worth it, it's by far the easiest specialist ability to just completely shut down.

I await the day CoD finally takes a leaf out of Battlefield's book and makes shotguns that aren't loaded with magical disappearing pellets. Or at least ones with significantly more range than you could physically spit one.

so messing around with blackhat, when you go to use it on something a little circle appears and if you aim at the center the hacking rate shoots up drat near how it was in beta so you can actual take over uav's and such but it's tricky moving along with it

Oh sure it's fine, I mean it's usable, but ARs and SMGs poo poo all over it across the board, which is I guess my point. CoD is CoD, which hasn't changed, I suppose.

I just put a lot of faith that hey every weapon might be viable this time around. But they do have a market to appeal to.

Getting diamonds across the board will hurt my soul.

Is it even worth it to save up for the 30 cryptokey packs or just spend them once I hit 10? The pool of items is pretty large (I got one pack yesterday with just 3 common decals :smith: ) so it seems like you're wasting them if you just go with the guaranteed rare or whatever every time.


edit: Are the packages unique every time or can there be dupes? I've only opened like 5 so far.

Anecdotal, but I have been hearing it's basically camo and gun skins in the regular crates. If you save up for a rare, please let us know what you get. I haven't heard from anyone yet about what's been in them, but I would assume just higher-tier camos and skins :v:

I saved up for a rare and all I got was an armor for a specialist that I haven't unlocked yet. Now I have to sit with that new item indicator for specialists until I can unlock that specialist. Stupid feature.
