Sounds sexy as hell. Now if people would stop jumping around with future pistols while I just have a rifle like some sort of schlub.

Edit: I have to wait until level 41 to get it holy poo poo I'm gonna die waiting that long. Also I'm really bad, but apparently my team is way worse.



You did as well that round as I do every match, you're better than you think :v:

You didn't go 1-10 so you're not that bad. Plus you just started so you can't expect to do that well yet (unless this isn't your first COD).

I played some Black Ops 2 but got bored and haven't played any for like 2 or 3 years. I only did well because I abused concussion grenades. I was tossing them everywhere people were camping, then popping in and shooting them all.

How do killstreaks work in this one? I get the bow all the time but I can never get any UAV or anything.

Disclaimer: By all the time I mean I got it in each of the 3 matches I've played.

Your specialist weapon/ability progress carries over per-life, killstreaks don't.

I really wish they'd bring back MW3's killstreak system that one was the best.

Support streaks all day erryday. Nothing like running SAM turrets and dropping them constantly to annoy the other team :allears:

I didn't start regularily playing COD until Black Ops, so my COD memories are mostly Black Ops' infinite UAVs, getting support streaks in MW3 and the general joy that Black Ops 2 brought.

I think as a group Xbone goons have taken to using Xbox parties and when one wants to find a group, just join an existing party and ask if they've got room. So feel free to join whatever party I'm in and ask if we have room.
In general, this is good advice, except in this case Vykk Draygo joined the party with my RL friends and we got steamrolled 10 matches in a row because we're so terrible :shobon:

Running HATR/Power Core/Mothership to get some stupid challenges done and help Javes finish his support gunner challenge, discover that if you get the HATR, the Mothership is almost automatic due to a massive incoming slew of support points from the HATR and Power Core.

And I get to make anyone on the other team trying desperately to complete the Return Fire challenge really excited when they see a Power Core! Too bad it's usually followed by poo poo landing on their heads, zero gone to enemy hands so far :haw:

We also tested if the Power Core would prevent people from locking on to your HATR/Mothership, to protect those high end streaks - nope! :mad: One motivated dude on the other team with a Blackcell can wreck both of them quickly.

Going for high streaks with a suppressed Razorback: Would not recommend. Too much stress. You pull good games and you're still mad because you died a few kills off a HATR :(

I also like the Razorback, which I can't explain, it has crap ttk and it's basically a sub-ICR, and I haaate the ICR. Guess the handling matters that much. Encourages good play habits when trying to rush I suppose, because if you get in a heads up fight with any fast sub, any shotgun, any burst gun, you gonna die.

Oh one other sub note - we tested Stock on subs/ars/lmgs, stock on subs is craaaazy fast. It doesn't feel like much when you're using it, but from the other guys perspective, it's a ridiculously quick strafe. Probably extremely nasty on the Vesper, VMP, and Pharo. AR with stock is about SMG without it. LMG is... maybe a little under AR stock speed? Hard to judge. All slow down when you fire.

Finally unlocked the ELO for my Drakon, it's just as hilarious as I imagined. Thermal is actually shockingly good as well, kinda torn on which one I prefer now. Just need to level it up a bit more and slap Stock on it and it'll be perfect :allears:

Need to get around to levelling the VMP as well, but I'm terrible with it. I know everyone says it's amazing but I just can't make it work. It feels like it takes 10+ bullets to kill a guy :(

I'll restate it: Bandwidth does not equal latency.

You can get 100/100 everywhere and it doesn't matter if it's a half second behind because it's just a download. It means everything with games though and the 100/100 means very, very little.

You could always look into something like 'traceroute' and see if there's anything you can fix on your end or bitch about to your ISP. If you wanted to get super specific you could probably track it all the way to the edge of PSN if you spied on your PS4 to see where it was connecting but once you get outside your ISP, it's basically out of your hands.

I'm suspicious that it's my wifi, my pc isn't connecting to the router at any where near N speeds either. And even if it isn't, I should fix that anyway.

That would definitely be a big contributor to lantency, wired ethernet is the only way to go. The PS4 wireless chip is poo poo too, so that doesn't help.

Well, it's right nearby, so I'll run a cable to the router and see if that helps.

Wifi (generally) has significantly more latency than hardwired, and I would imagine it is much more prone to problems.

Also, the answer to every complaint ever is that you need more gunskill. Also maybe don't play COD, it's well known for being a bad game for BK's.

Do Paintshop designs / editor not always show up properly for anyone else? Usually restarting the game fixes it, but I am not sure if it is a bug that others get too or a problem with my video card/drivers. My video card is pretty old at this point and it runs hot so it can definitely be that.

And in general the paintshop runs like poo poo, scaling/moving doesn't always work when I click and I have to click a few times.

Yeah more or less. I find that if I run a paintshop gun in actual matches it'll eventually load in.

It's definitely not just you. I've got a GTX 970 and it's still pretty iffy whether or not my paintjobs will actually show up on my guns. Same with the scaling, sometimes it takes a good 3 or 4 tries before it registers me clicking.

They raised the point requirement, so now you need to get 5 kills just to get a uav.

If you have a controller connected to your PC, it's usually easier to just do the paintjob stuff with that.
