The difference between confinement and rest is a shift in perspective

I unlocked the ELO while working on the camo challenge and now I have to hit 34 before I can do the 5 attachment camo. Being a seasoned CoD player and actually starting multiplayer when a double xp weekend starts is kinda hilarious. Still learning though. I loving love the Drakon in HC though. How is it in normal playlists?

Which class should I unlock first for multiplayer? I'm guessing I can't change my decision once I make it until I prestige or something? If it helps: I'm not very good at COD's instakill style pvp and I liked the 3 round burst rifle and starting pistol in single player.

Every time you level up you get a new unlock token. One of the things you'll be able to spend it on is new specialist weapons/abilities, so you can buy another one at level 2. Also, they're not classes, as such; the only thing they affect is voice/appearance and what super weapon or super ability you get. They don't set any restrictions on weapons, equipment and perks.

I'd say Battery's War Machine is the best super weapon you can unlock at the start. It's a grenade launcher, so it's pretty forgiving if you're not that precise, it can get at people who aren't in your line of sight, and it's decent at panic firing. Don't bother with Kinetic Armor though. Outrider's Vision Pulse is solid, and her weapon is okay. Prophet's super weapon is good, but his ability his tough to use effectively. Ruin...

don't pick Ruin.

Vision is really really good for a new player since it's basically a free one-use UAV and you don't know the maps yet.

Disabling UPNP on your router or blocking your console from it might do the trick.

Skill-based matchmaking will make sure this won't happen. I didn't get any Christmas noobs during BLOPS 2 and AW because of it.

Apologies if this has been covered already, is Skill-based match making in use in BOP3? From playing it today I seemed to be getting matched against a wide range of levels but all with good connections, but that was from limited personal observation.

I am a bad, and would like to be matchmade with other bads :-P

Edit: Answered my own question: Network quality is the primary matching criteria, with skill secondary and "will only be weighed until after a lobby has been created" (I don't even know what they mean by that).

I always feel like that at first. Just keep playing and you get into the flow of it. Depending on the mode(s) you're playing, forget the grenades and slap some good attachments on your primary and load up on perks. Awareness and Tracker really help while you're learning the maps, eventually you can drop tracker and run Hardwired. I also keep a launcher on all my classes to take down UAVs and Talons, etc. Easy points!

Also, run low scorestreaks until you get a little better so you have a better chance of activating them.

They're pretty solid SMG's, perfect for the BO2-style hold down sprint, hold down trigger when spotting player type of gameplay, as well as being able to do business inside AR ranges too which is just as loving annoying as it was in BO2 so they're popular to use.

They also explode from one EMP grenade. Pretty much anything that isn't a Hardened Turret explodes from a single EMP grenade, including the Cerebrus. Dunknow about GI though, because I've never seen one ingame to pelt it with one. :shrug:
