Mine certainly did. I'm the last CoD fan left in my circle.

Not surprising though. Half quit after MW2 :supaburn:, and BLOPS finished off the rest.

I quit this dumb poo poo after MW2. Advanced warfare was the first one I picked up since. I'm enjoying this so far, but getting destroyed by people doesn't make sense to my old rear end. Alcohol fixes that.

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?

E: found the community, sent a request
Try the HVK-30 instead. It's not quite as accurate, but the recoil is nice and controllable for picking off dudes with bursts further out. Plus it does enough damage to actually kill them instead of creating hitmarkers.

The ICR's got less spread, but the damage and fire rate suck at the moment.

The Realism difficulty setting on Campaign is almost comical. Several missions start you outside of cover, being shot at by a poo poo-ton of dudes, and you literally die before you can take a step. Plus the enemies don't die in one hit, they're still bullet sponges, even the human ones. :suicide:

I don't know how you're meant to go through on Realistic other than with 4 players, Even doing the first level is an exercise in frustration and that is the only level i could see one person technically doing.

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).

Just gonna quote this for truths. The game sure has less people on pc than console but it is by no means dead. Loads of people playing hardcore mods too. HC DOM and KC are pretty popular. More people are playing HC Dom than HC TDM.

Also the performance thing is way less pronounced than it was in beta too. I had to drop to 720p to get stable fps, now I'm at 1080 with mostly high settings and it's fine.

Had some great matches tonight, went absolutely relentless in a lobby with just one friend in the party - we somehow triple capped and then spawn farmed them for about half of a match :stare:

The pubbies sensed weakness after they got wiped at spawn a few times and then it was just a total bloodbath as we pursued them around the map to every spawn, they couldn't retake a control point.

I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with how powerful the attachments are, I'm always struggling to figure out how to fit the stuff I want on any particular gun, and different mixes perform really differently.

It's also extremely noticeable when I'm using say, a bare KN vs a leveled one with the 'right' attachments on it for me. I was having a rough start to the evening until I got some levels on it. I am a high caliwhore.

Requiring mid 30s to complete gold camo because of primary gunfighter is pretty lame. Might have to unlock gunfighter 3 next prestige :|

You could focus on headshots on other guns while underleveled. I'm just focusing on headshots all the time right now, and will do the other challenges once I got all headshot camos unlocked.

That's true, I suppose I could get a bunch of guns up to that point, since it's a really easy challenge to knock off.

Saw an enemy Power Core tonight!

... spawned in at 190 score in Domination :eng99:

Going to take forever to get that challenge complete :mad:

I've seen two since you made your original post about that. What's even the best way to take one down? EMP grenades?

I tend to run with Ghost/HardWired/Engineer with EMPs on tactical recently. I've seen an upturn in people using trip mines, and being able to see sentries/cerberus/RCXDs through walls the entire time is great. It's also cool to see someone who has trapped up the rear entrance to their favourite headglitch spot, and then just walk past the equipment and cap them in the back of the head.

I swear the Sparrow is easier to hit with than the Annihilator. I routinely miss two shots and die against people with the golden gun, and somehow I can headshot people with the sparrow at long range? Must have a lot more auto aim.

Is Demolition any good in this game? It was always a race to see who can spawn camp the enemy team the fastest in previous games. I think we rarely played the objective because of that.

It's great in a party, I certainly wouldn't play it solo. Probably my favorite objective mode actually.

Teams have to be way way imbalanced to get spawn camped, and personally I prefer that over the loving twitchy rear end spawns in Dom that flip constantly.

Really bad on Redwood... but Redwood is really bad in Dom too, so whatever v:v:v

They just rolled out an update to coincide with the 2x xp start on PS4, 2.7gb, patch your poo poo now if possible.

They added lobby leaderboards :| Look forward to people backing out of lobbies constantly again.

Since the patch I have an annoying glitch where it shows I have something "new" for the Seraph specialist. It keeps showing the green next to her head piece and armor piece like I unlocked one of the skins, but I didn't. I go and check around and there is nothing new there, but the green persists.

Wasn't there last night when I exited, appeared after the patch...
