Sniper Rifle wasn't doing it, went 5-15. Neither was an assault rifle. So I swapped back to the smg.



Why does that thing work so well? I can hit people across the map if I bother to use the sights it's dumb. I think it's dumb.

I took Scythe as my first prestige unlock because I love playing as my robot buddy (and most of my loadouts are built on default poo poo).

No one calls in talons or cerbs anymore so I will never get the blackcell gold

My man have you tried a little thing called "Dom with pubbies?" Cerbs and Talons are like the go-to scorestreaks for the Good Guys who go there to beat up on Bad Players and Idiots Who Run Around With Pistols. (me.)

Last night I went up against a team who had three players running UAV -> Talon -> RAPS and let me tell you I spent a lot of time standing on rocks/cars shooting balls. I later found out this was due to one teammate spending the entire game spinning in circles and another looking directly into the air for the UAV's, personal safety be damned.

Ignore everyone, pubby dom is God's work.

What are you guys taking with you on prestige. Initially I was thinking Ghost, but once I got it - it just seems crazy nerfed...only works when you are moving at decent speed (some times walking, but definitely ADS'd will kill it).



I took Ghost (good choice) C4 (bad choice up until I prestiged again and took)...Scavenger (good choice) and then the Man O War (stupid, dumb choice.) Basically someone said it in the thread earlier but let me reiterate: Don't take guns. Dead Silence, Ghost, Scavenger are decent picks. Although that high level auto-pistol is loving cool and I may take it next. Also the only Specialist i could see myself taking would be the Purifier because that thing is powerful as gently caress.

In COD Princess Dress-Up Simulator news, i got the 'Murica body on my Battery (girl with the grenade launcher and sassitrude) via 20 war machine kills and I have to say it goes great with the "Night" black market head unlock. The "Night" black market head unlock is her with the dark variation of her hair, and black face. No, it really does look like black face. Remind me to get a photo when I come back from the pub tonight.

Grabbed mine taking out mostly Cerb's in KC. They show up on Engineer so you can find 'em, you can set off a EMP grenade to disable it from moving or shooting, and if it's taken any damage at all, you'll blow it up in one rocket usually thanks to any other damage it's taken in the meantime.

You could skip the EMP in theory and use Blind Eye, but if it's being player controlled you'll get mowed down anyway so it's safer just to disable and blow it up.

Yeah when I was doing the scorestreak/launcher challenges for them i pretty much used Engineer to locate them, but would just flank them or lateral for a targeting lock and then fire. Never used the EMP but it'd certainly make life easier.

If it's AI controlled you'll have no real issues even without EMP's.

I took Scavenger, because it's the most useful perk 2 and it's quite a late unlock. Very helpful for hunting Gold camos as well, never run out of ammo.

Uhh...Most useful is subjective. Dead silence and Ghost are arguably the best perks by far. Run out of ammo, pick up a gun.

Yeah, I've been watching Versus use it, and the ability to toss a grenade every few seconds adds up to a few kills or more every round.

Those aren't tier 2 perks. I do have those prestige unlocked in addition to scavenger, though.

It's really nice, especially if I'm running a trophy system too. Sometimes it feels like a bit of a waste if I'm not running either a lethal or tactical though.

Picked up the Stealth 500P today for $82 from best buy (Amazon match). Good fit, except it presses on my glasses a bit, I guess any headset is going to do that though

I don't care for the mic monitor feature, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Playing with headphones gave me a lot more situational awareness.

Does this game ever auto balance. Because I played against like 5 level 50+ folks for 3 maps in a row and they stayed on that side. Just constantly stomping our levels 5-30.

On the plus side every time I killed one dude he'd rage over his microphone. One time I killed him and stole a crate. Then immediately killed him again.

I'd be curious about this too, if someone has solid info.

It seems to try and auto-balance as well as mix up teams every round, whenever it can fulfill both of those goals. I'd guess since the 5 you saw were always together, it's because they were grouped. But then again my brother and I were put on opposing teams 3-4 times (out of 50-80 games) while playing in a party together. And at first I thought the whole room was groups, so it just had to split up SOMEONE and picked us since we were the newest. But then it happened to one time without us joining a new lobby.

Basically when it throws you in a new lobby it looks like it does so to try and put your score per minute in the middle of the lobby. Questionable success. If you leave that lobby it throws you directly into a game it seems like.

The exceptions are when you have a group of people in a party - then you might have what you saw where the same leading players are on the same team. If there are no parties it will balance after games, at a minimum randomly.

I don't see how headphones would be any different? It's the earpiece that does it, any set of around-the-ear ones would do that.

Could always do what pros do, use ear buds with noise cancelling things over them, then use a separate mic! Or just get laser surgery or contacts.

Lots of options really.

Edit: Sit with your face an inch from the screen.

Edit 2: Get eye replacement surgery.

Edit 3: Those sunglasses Morpheus wore but instead they're eyeglasses.

MP is installed but it won't let me join a group session until the full thing downloads. Played like 3 matches so far and it's safe to say this game is pretty poo poo. And by that I mean I'm completely poo poo. Skipping AW and jumping into this after everyone has a year of learning wall jumping and all the new poo poo is going to suck for me. However, the starting LMG feels pretty good and stops me from running too fast and getting killed because I don't know any maps either.

Any pro tips for starting out?

Set up a VMP SMG class as soon as you unlock it.
The starting BRM isn't bad as LMGs go. Basically an LSAT.

Fast Hands is garbage, get Hardwired until you unlock Scav for Perk 2.
If you don't need a sight, it's hard to go wrong with Quickdraw, Grip, and Stock on everything.
Otherwise, swap Grip for Silencer/Fast Mags/High Caliber.
