Dead weight, just like this post.



There's one called Commando i think? It's for getting kills while climbing over something. So really just play lots of Nuketown and Infection and keep undershooting the jump slightly so you autoclimb in while shooting. Wasen't aware taht was a thing until i glanced at the challenges list the other night.

Javes I want you to explain to me what magic bullshit it is you're using to make the VMP any kind of decent.

Do you really need tips on how to use the strongest, most easy to use gun in the entire game :confused:

Maybe try pressing whichever button you have bound to 'fire' while you have it equipped. Once you're comfortable with that you can try to advance to pressing the 'aim down sights' button before pressing the 'fire' button, although that step isn't really necessary with the VMP.

I play this on the bone and one of the most annoying things is that it often runs really really choppy. It's not a connection issue just the video jumps every 4 or 5 frames. Is there a way to kill background processes on the bone or something? I don't get how this can be a problem when the machines only job is to play one game at a ti e in a very controlled environement. Do I just have a bum Xbox or something?

Do you have your Xbox in instant on mode? If so, I had the same problem.

I fixed it by unplugging our Xbox for a minute. Hope this helps, it's frustrating.

drat dude I don't know why you're struggling with the VMP so much. I started playing on Wednesday and have it max prestiged... Somewhere between 75 and 100 headshots without actively trying to get them. It's... an easy gun to use.

I got a quad-feed for possibly the first time ever playing a CoD game, after driving a HC-XD into a group rushing B during a Hunted domination game. :toot:

But for some reason the game counted it as two double kills. I've been robbed. :negative:

They don't seem to count any quad feeds you get with killstreaks toward the challenge anyway.

Yeah, its a lovely port. The port has framerate issues (that may or not have been fixed with the recent patches depending on your machine) and bad mouse controls. The mouse controls were fine in the beta, I don't get why they changed it.

I have a 970 and experienced zero framerate issues, and the mouse controls are fine. You have a different ADS sensitivity compared to normal but I've never noticed it. So yes, you need a fairly modern computer that's capable of "brute forcing" lovely port jobs but chances are if your PC is your primary platform you have one of those anyway.

It's also difficult to find players outside of TDM, Domination or Chaos Moshpit but all those modes are pretty good so *shrug*.

e: Actually I lied, you'll notice the mouse controls with the Argus, since the different sensitivity and the lack of autoaim means I've missed a bunch of shots by aiming slightly to the left of whatever I wanted to shoot, but...

Apparently I adjusted to it :shrug:

Did you accidentally buy the wrong game? In Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 the VMP is the default gun that everyone who just wants to win &/ have a good k/d runs. I see more VMPs than literally any other gun in matches and you have to put in serious effort to go anything below a 1.5 K/D with it even if you're brand new to CoD. It has great range, good accuracy with a high rate of fire and a 40-round mag by default. It feels like one of those CoD:AW variant guns with several attachments stuck to it by default.

I agree with everything here but this. I always find that the VMP has less range than I want. To the point that I don't even use it. I prefer the Razorback or the Kuda.

VMP is still pretty effective though, it's crazy to call it a bad gun.

I don't mean the actual range at which it retains it's 4-5 shot kill, I mean that just in general a high rate of fire, accurate SMG is good at range. If you put a stock on it and just spam away at someone at long range they're going to have to try to aim at a fast-moving target while flinching like crazy. It's not that uncommon to win out against sniper rifles and most assault rifles at range with the VMP if you can get the first shot in just because of how hard you can become to hit.

It's also worth noting that I mostly play hardcore so pretty much every gun becomes a 1-2 shot kill. Having the extra range on the one shot is a life saver a lot of the time.

Finally got to exploit gun game by waking up 15 minutes earlier than I usually do for work. You definitely have to do it in the wee hours of the morning because, as I found out, gun game has no timer on the round. Which means you have to luck into an open spot on a lobby full of idlers or find a game with maybe one other person doing the same thing you are. But I knocked out Nuclear and a couple other challenges, plus around 60 knife kills for good measure. Its great for headshots if you're trying to do one of the guns it uses, you just have to run out of bounds to humiliate yourself back to that gun after each kill. Otherwise just stick to streak challenges or movement challenges. Especially that stupid thrust jump into a slide kill.

Yup. I think I got at least 6 keys after I ended the game after about half an hour.

Dual wield lcar's would probably be next on the nerf list if the ammo was a bit higher and they weren't so late in level. Very fast kill rate up close, and you can get that single kill outside of shotgun range while the reload time is fast enough.

gently caress the GI Unit.

Not a fan of the cowardly, pacifist GI Unit.. That first run before the death was just crazy though. Headshot after headshot.

In today's "how can I make my own team shout at me for helping them" I found that spinning around with the cerberus shooting UAV's out of the air actually angers your teammates, not get thanks for taking out scorestreaks. I'm just trying to give.

Also whoever suggested the wraith, man that thing is some fun if they aren't packing launchers. It just tears people up at angles that make zero sense, definitely a keeper.

Finally, scorestreaks not counting towards killstreaks (merciless medal etc.) I think is a good thing.

You mean killstreak related challenges? Some do, apparently. I definitely got the calling card for getting a bloodthirsty medal against attackers on an objective by remote-controlling a Cereberus in Domination.

edit: now that you mentioned it though I don't think I ever saw an actual bloodthirsty medal
