The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

phew, finished the double kills with glitch, doing it with the tempest should be a lot easier because it's like...an actual gun.

Hardpoint, and glitching as you throw grenades took care of that one. Nuketown can go either way but the problem is people dont group up on poo poo in Nuketown too often unless it's the windows. People HATE objective play on Nuketown they just want to run around or lay prone behind a truck or something

I love Nomad and his sweet, sweet bees, but Jesus gently caress I hate goddamned rejack. It's such a poo poo ability because you lose half your meter if you don't punch it when you have it, and everyone knows to camp the mist. Once you pop up you can't immediately shoot and you just get pooped on. I wish you could rejack and then have ANY kills after count towards it, because the window for immediately shooting mans after seems too drat short.

Rejack has been pretty decent to me. It seems most people still don't know about it.

Nose Manual + Super Sonic Spin Attack
In a game where the core mechanic is "Shoot mans to remove them from the immediate area for a short while", Rejack is loving terrible game design.

I'm not saying that it can't be useful, and it's certainly not as OP as it was in beta, just that it should never have been there in the first place.

In other news it seems that one dudes invisibility skill is goddamn worthless if you're paying any attention at all. You can still see him cloaked pretty easily. To the point that a dude ran up to me in a corridor on Aquarium in HC Dom and I punched him in the face before he got a shot off. The only advantage I could see is using it to confuse people at range when youre capping a point. But then they just throw explosives anyway.

I hit 55 finally last night. Gonna burn all my Unlock tokens on crap to try it out then prestige before double XP. Any recommendations on high level unlocks? Been using the Razorback, it owns. Don't really like the c4, I'm used to chucking my lethals halfway across the map into a window. I'm bad at burst fire guns so I'm hesitant on the M8A7, though I mostly play Hardcore now so maybe thats less of an issue.

Also is the ICR-1 any good? I've been using it with FMJ and suppressor but it still feels weak sometimes. I was a big fan of the g36c, is there anything that feels kinda like it?

before I unlocked useful attachments I was running laser on the vesper and managed to get a couple 'oh poo poo' hip fire kills but... why would you want to do that. that's what shotguns are for

now if you said 'whats the best SMG for putting a stock on and getting mach 3 side strafe ADS speeds' id understand

I already have a Shotgun I like doing that with, I just wanted an SMG for going around with a suppressor all solo hush :shobon: To be honest I haven't properly played a CoD game since Blops2 and I used to do that with SMGs because I'm bad when doing straight killing modes like TDM or Kill Confirmed, so maybe that isn't a good idea any more?

You'll get rusty if you don't play often enough.

Also, if you're a PC gamer, switching to a controller can gently caress you up. My friend isn't nearly as good as he is on a computer.

Finally, play with goons and cap points. We won't care how bad you are. #broderkrunk/yoderkrunk

This man speaks the truth. I'm an old woman (literally), my global KDR is something like .68 but the good goons let me play with them and I redeem myself by capping points and acting as a live decoy for people who can shoot. :patriot:

You can figure out what my latency is by the number of swears. Good connection? People die when I shoot them? Maybe 1 or 2 gently caress-yous per minute. Bad latency? That's gonna jump up to 10 or so.

I've got a question about controls: someone mentioned to me that Bumper Jumper is a good control scheme, so I tried it out a little and I'm trying to get used to it.

I quite like how I can jump and aim/shoot at people at the same time, I guess it's making me a bit more unpredictable while someone is shooting me. Although I suspect that now I'm quite often jumping around pointlessly during gunfights though so I'm not too sure if it's actually helping me or not.

Does anyone else use this control scheme? Or do people generally not need to jump around as much so it's not worth taking jump off a face button?

Bumper jumper tactical is the one true control scheme.

Mobility is as important as ever in bl3ps. Being able to jump/slide without taking your thumbs off the sticks is much more useful than tactical/melee.

Killing someone while jumping gives you an extra +25 points so there's that, but I've never fully understood the need for a scuf controller.

Uh... this has to be a recent bug.

But meanwhile, Long Barrel on ARs doubles their ranges. Just straight up doubles. No min damage bumps, no small % increase, nope, doubles.

Works on Shieva headshots too. One burst across the map with M8? Sure!

If it's not, between that and highcal, they very, very clearly want ARs to dominate SMGs at a distance. They certainly will with that on O_o

Can't you stack long barrel and silencer? If so does that mean a silenced AR might be a viable option?

I don't know how they combine, I'll do some testing later. Some suppressed ARs are already pretty good for various reasons, but I can't imagine they'd let you do a silenced long range AR. Maybe I'm wrong!

It's perfectly fine. The biggest issue with it that input is tied to your framerate so if you can't run the game at above your monitor's refresh rate your mouse input will feel laggy, inconsistent and weird. Obviously less of a problem for people with 60/75hz monitors but if you have a 120/144hz monitor you're gonna want to make sure you have a fairly beefy PC. The player count is highest a CoD game on PC has managed since black ops 2, I haven't had any issues finding games for any of the popular modes (DOM, TDM, S&D, HP).

Welp, looks like I just spent $42 on my first CoD game ever(!).

I am almost certain that I am going to regret this.
