But lol at them nerfing haymaker. "what's this? A shotgun is effective at cqc? Destroy it!"

SMGs must be superior at all ranges

Hopefully it didn't get hurt too bad though, but I guess auto shotties are always a gimmick

At least the KRM got buffed, even minorly.

The haymaker had absurd range for a fully automatic shotgun. You could 4-shot kill with a silenced haymaker from one end of the middle hardpoint on infected to the other. You didn't even have to ADS with it, you could just hipfire up to its maximum range if you put a laser sight on it. The combined mobility you had while using it relative to the extremely low degree of aim it took to hit people with it due to it being a spammy shotgun made it hilariously broken for modes that encourage people to get up close and personal with each other like Hardpoint and Uplink.

4 shot kill is an eternity in this game. It was lovely at close range, okay (but very easy to use) at medium range, and unusable at long range. It was the only shotty that got close to the effectiveness of an SMG in medium range, though SMGs were still better at long-range and short-range.

People expect their CoD shotties to shoot about the distance you can spit I guess.

it's funny how these nerf/buff news dont come with detailed stat changes, so that everyone gets into a tizzy and abandons otherwise good guns for slightly better peices of crap

Still going to use the XR2. What of it.

Yeah, like, its stats aren't all that different* than the full auto shotgun in blops2, 4 shot kill at longer ranges and all. And it even had a gigantic magazine, like the Haymaker. But it was limited to the 4 shot burst! So it actually worked. This thing is just amazing as all hell, and it needed a nerf imo. I say that as one forcing myself to use other classes instead of maining the haymaker 24/7

*Someone is probably gonna bring up real numbers and prove its totally different but it feels similar, with the lack of burst making it into an ungodly murder machine. This is why the AA-12 in MW2 had what, a 6 or 8 round default mag?

Keep using the gun you like because the changes were likely on the order of '50 ammo to 40' or 'falloff begins at 900 range instead of 1000' or 'ads time is now .21 instead of .2'

I need to make some 50 point comic sans youtube videos I guess

XR-2 NERFED NOW WORST GUN IN GAME

(it's possible the nerfs were more severe, but I doubt it, they seem to be using a gentle hand this time around)

Locus adses faster, SVG kills at hips or higher, so in theory the Locus is better for run and gunning

Checked the VMP (no range difference I could see) and the Haymaker (still killed in 4 shots at max range)

Likely they tweaked some other aspects that aren't as easy to check - rof, ads, movement, spread, handling, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if the XR-2 lost its random reload/movement speed bonuses that it had for no reason and no other changes :v:

I'm finding I like Recon/Varix sights on a lot of guns, even SMGs. I must be getting blind in my old age. Like Recon/Kuda O_o

I usually don't like burning a point on sights, but the zoom scopes do help with the distance shots in this quite a bit (imagine that).

I couldn't get past the glass panels at the end. In general the others are pretty easy, the only things that trip me up is the parts where you have to switch wallruns 4 times in quick succession, The angles are tight and I run out of boost. It aggravates me that you need to use boost to jump off a wallrun. I feel like I should be able to do that with my legs.

the multiplayer and campaign in this were both my favorites since MW2 :shrug:

for some reason I couldn't get into Advanced Warfare's campaign or multiplayer at all, even with Kevin Spacey and jetpacks and poo poo. That felt like a slog. This one really picks up after the first few missions.

I will say that I'm burnt the hell out on CoD's brand of left-trigger right-trigger, so if they don't carry forward with the abilities system and add more new poo poo like that, I'll probably skip next year's campaign. They need to find a way to introduce way more enemy variety, too, this felt pretty painful after I'd played so many hours of Destiny. Robots are a good start, but I wish they didn't fall back on "this is a dude but with an armor suit!!" and repeat the same two bosses over and over

Pay attention to the angle in which you approach each glass panel. If you come at it at too high of an angle you will break the glass. The more shallow the angle, the softer your touch to the surface.

Yeah I get that but then jumping away from the first one tends to put me at too steep an angle. Correcting uses boost and means I'm screwed when I want to jump off the next one.

Yeah, I would buy this one for the multi. It stole all the new ideas from any fps game in the past three years and put them into blops, and that's working really well. The campaign is a misfire.

Every Killstreak in this game is an absolute loving monster IF and ONLY if the other team doesnt deal with it immediately. You can shoot Wraiths out of the air as soon as they hit the field but if you wait a few extra seconds you have to take out that first defensive drone.

I have a hard time using Hellstorm missiles so I just stopped using them. When I press the cluster bomb button, the mini missiles start going in random directions and occasionally might even hit someone but usually they don't.

Now whenever I'm forced to use that lovely streak after a prestige I just guide the main rocket into someone and don't bother with clustering it at all. A free kill, but there's better streaks around.

The sniper rifles in this game are pretty fun to use, and the 10 round mag on the Locus is actually pretty insane. Silenced sniper rifles have no downside either, in my experience.
