Finally unlocked the Haymaker, why the gently caress do people use other guns? Running it with Gung Ho and Fast Hands and I feel like an unstoppable murdermachine that constantly sprays buckshot everywhere I go.

I stopped using it because I was afraid it would ruin my aim/skill with other guns.

Not even kidding.

Vahn tweeted the Gorgon is like barely better than average global k/d right now, so unless its wildly outperforming, they probably won't do poo poo to it.

I have a really loving hard time with the KRM and Argus though, goddamn. Hitmarker city. Not hitmarker as in 'I hit and he didn't die from the damage!', nah, hitmarker as in 'their killcam says I didn't even fire!'.

The Haymaker (and Brecci, somewhat) skirts that by just laying down a wall of lead, but the slower shotties need the 1sk. Can't really start prefiring with an Argus :saddowns:

I had a ton of trouble maxing the KRM but that's because I'm awful I guess. I tend to run headlong into lanes to catch people but usually got shredded by run n gun SMGs.
I could swear that hits are just not registering but who really knows.

At least SMGs are universally super easy to max out.

what horror the gas

I tried out the Dredge thinking it would be bad because it's a burst fire LMG, and it has some issues, like the occasional burst getting hit markers but not killing, but I also did some serious work with it. A few solid triple and quad kills, against groups my usual shotgun build or the gorgon would have folded to. The six bullets in the burst come out quick and there's not a ton of recoil so they don't spray all over the place. Aim for upper torso and the last bullet or two will headshot pretty easy too.

It's not just you, I ended up giving up on the KRM in favor of the Brecci and Haymaker because of the pellets just whiffing :v:

I really, really want to run and gun with SMGs but I'm waiting for the Vesper. Kuda doesn't seem too suited for it, and the Weevil has such piddly damage.

Holy gently caress, the flamethrower. This thing will be nerfed once more players hit 46+ and start using it. The range is crazy and it takes like 3 ticks to kill someone, 1 tick to set them on fire (and kill them a second or so later), very high range and it lasts a pretty long time. I've been combining it with Overclock and use a Haymaker for the downtime.

So I assume you don't lose Black Market items when you prestige? It would be retarded if you did, but this is CoD so you never know.
Considering there is a solid chance they'll be doing the black market pods as microtransactions in the future, I would be very surprised.

Nighthand posted:

It's designed weakness is despite a 60 round mag, is that it's only ten shots, and it's got the LMG reload / handling speed to go with it. It's easier to get hold of rather than having to unlock all the attachments for the burst rifle though for the same sort of damage / range, which is another plus.

So I've been playing or trying to play in the middle of the day and have been getting servers been down. (I'm in S Texas on a PS4) I tried the nightmares single player, but I was told that my progress wouldn't count for anything once the servers kicked back in.

I guess that's the same for regular campaign and zombies? Why would a developer do that? Why would anyone want to play through something AGAIN just cause you're now back on their servers that went down?

Gorgon is awesome, I really need to get rapid fire unlocked for it, and the Drakon with an acog scope is very nice as an annoying long distance weapon and medium range. And am I correct in saving my black market tokens for the rare chest and gently caress the cheaper one?

I'm back. Long post because I haven't posted at all in quite a while. Opinions (I'm only level... ~44? so far, been playing Anno 2205, LotV, another 100 hours of MGS5, etc.):

Argus is a monster with quickdraw and stock, as long as I ADS (obviously what I'm doing with those attachments) and I haven't even unlocked long barrel or rapid fire. However, I haven't really played with the other shotguns yet.
Pharo is really good.
I liked the Gorgon initially, but now I'm not so hot on it, and have gotten rid of it from my classes.
At least 3 of my classes always have the BlackCell or whatever since it can knock anything out of the sky without having to respawn.

Sheiva is really good, as expected from using it in the beta. I had my best game yet about an hour ago and I don't even have my preferred attachments yet; was using just quickdraw and reflex sight in this game:




Didn't get a nuclear :negative:

Awareness seems decent, unlike BO2, but I feel very paranoid about missing footsteps if I'm not using it, even though I could be using a different but also good slot 3 perk.

As for specialists, I've been using Battery with kinetic armor a lot (only using War Machine enough to get customization options), but I also really like using the robot with Psychosis.
For streak rewards, I've been using the UAV, CUAV, Talon combo probably 80% of the time.
For tacticals I've been using mostly the trophy system, if anything. I don't equip lethal equipment much, and when I do, it's just a frag grenade.

You don't gain XP towards, or unlock anything at all, besides mission progression in Nightmares. So the only thing you lose is mission progression.

Nuketown is still there, it was just moved to the Chaos Moshpit playlist. So it's still there, for better or for worse. :zaeed:

Also, I'm terrible at this game. Like really bad.
I think part of that is playing solo.

I don't know if playing in a group is necessarily any better. I play grouped with some friends all the time and we routinely get rolled. We just aren't very good.

PS: If there's a CoD training regimen please let me know what it is. Let's start with the basics like how do I shoot somebody.

There's two competing influences when playing in a group when talking about personal performance. To me it always seems that in a group of goons my connection will, on average, be much worse as compared to playing solo. This makes sense since the game has to consider the best match for your party rather than just for you. The plus is that you simply don't wind up in massacres, your group will generally be better than the collection of pubbies so you'll have more UAV, CUAV, etc and the other group will be better controlled. For me this normally works out such that I don't have awesome games in goon groups but I also don't have horrible games. More importantly, playing with goons is more fun.
