Dead weight, just like this post.



I'd argue that Havoc is worse with B literally being open to 3 difference directions with lovely cover from only one. Really they just need to bring back the triangular design for Domination maps or maybe make one of the DLC maps do it for a bit of variety.

Just finished a game of KC where every time I tossed a UAV/CUAV/HATR into the air it was getting hacked or shot down immediately. It was great just because it meant I could just go to where the immobile dots were and pick up two or three easy kills+tags.

I don't think Havoc is so bad, you can lay down next to the debris in full cover and just watch the high window. Unlike Redwood which is just a shitshow from every angle.

Treyarch's insistence on 3 lane maps means triangles don't work. In fact, looking at the topology of most maps they're pretty much the same.

Apart from the first few days GW lobbies have been pretty painless. Now actually playing the same lovely maps and modes over and over is a different matter

Can't wait for Nuketown to get into regular rotation so we get to play Ground War on nuketown all the time! :haw:

I like Redwood in theory.

In practice it's always been a piece of poo poo because playing with pubs means that half a minute into the round you're either on the winning team farming easy feeds, or you're on the team who is constantly spawning on the walkway and your only options are to go towards the point you don't control or the point you're currently losing - whichever you choose will lead directly to someone farming easy feeds for air scorestreaks that are impossible to shoot down without engineer.

if redwood had maybe 5 to 8 less lines of sight on B it would be a better map.

This is why all my classes have engineer and a launcher. At least I can shoot down the scorestreaks I give away by being terrible. :gbsmith:

To be honest, hard to get particularly excited about this. Seeing as just like last time they refuse to post numbers on weapon XP. Have I almost levelled my MR6 to level 11? gently caress if I know, there's just some squiggly yellow bar that doesn't seem to have moved at all. Could be one kill, could be one hundred.

It's worth thinking about just how furiously angry the person who just called that streak in gets, when you poo poo all over it before it's even had a chance to make it into the map and kill a single person. That, and you can easily add a disgusting amount to your score even while your team is getting stomped.

The calling card for shooting down a RAPS ship before it drops anything is adorable by the way. :allears:

Yeah, I love having launchers because I like to do my duty like a good little team player and shoot that poo poo down the instant it appears. It's kind of hard to do that though when I unlock these perks to give my Vesper more cool poo poo to tack on and I gotta cut the launcher... :(

It is a bit absurd that the Wraith and RAPS can be shot down before they even appear on the map. Launchers need to be nerfed.

I don't mind it for KC/TDM but for objectives it's poopy. Getting spawned in Endor far away from every point is bullshit and it does it all the time.

This is why basically all of my classes run a launcher as the secondary. Usually the free-fire one so I have a handy explosive launcher if needed. Oh yes, hide behind that car. :getin:

The wraith is made of tissue paper and probably should be changed to 1 shot for the babby drone and 2 for the ship itself. RAPS should be 4 shots, HATR is fine as-is, and make the goddamn mothership targetable, just take like 7 shots to bring down so it's a team effort.

Air support doesn't last for any time at all against goons anyway, usually I'll hear something about air support, whip out my launcher and find a teammate already has it targeted.

e: I'm on now, Toast. MosquitoJones.
