I am not a very smart man, so I have a question. If you guys talk about 'needing gunskill', do you mean a specific attachment that was named gunskill in the beta but is now renamed? Or do you just mean 'you have to practice with this gun until you reach it's full potential?'

Switched to bumper jumper tactical from normal tactical. Being able to aim while jumping is nice.

This is the first CoD I've done this in (saw it in this very thread a week or so ago) and it has changed my life, possibly forever. I still have the "ohshit" reaction as someone crashes into m from round the corner but whoa look at that I just jumped into his grill, confusing us both until someone remembers to shoot. (usually me via spastic flailing.)

With melee being 2 hits there's no reason to not have the bumper jump.

Also the VMP is good and fun. It was my first gold gun, and my go-to until I used the vesper and now I can't remember what the names of the other guns are.

Streaks were apparently buffed. Early reports say stronger hellstorms, faster lightning strikes, maybe a bigger bombing run?

Might have tuned ai aggressiveness on cerberus/wraith/gi unit, who knows.

Gonna go get on and drop some on on pubbies to find out!

Last night I saw a GI Unit rip evac to shreds rather than suck a lot like in previous matches. I noticed my wraiths getting a few more kills than usual even when they were getting blackcelled to Cool Scorestreak Heaven but this was on combine where a wraith has to be literally retarded not to hit someone. The hard sentry was getting decent kills too, but I can't tell with that how many times it's idiots standing in front of it shooting/waiting for a launcher to lock on whilst they get shot. As for lightning strikes, I got decent kills last night and one managed to kill me from another timezone according to the kill replay so they MUST have been buffed.

Further edit: AI on the cerb is still awful. The Talon was mostly above my head as I dived face first into bad situations so it got decent kills per life.

The VMP trick is p. much "get close enough to feel their heartbeat" and then you're good.

I see it ran with grip which never fails to confuse me. If you're firing that thing at mid or long range you'd be better off taking the bullets out of the magazine and throwing them by hand. Whereas if you take grip off maybe some will end up in the other guy's brain when the thing ejaculates bullets in a jagged, upward spray and you'll live long enough to run for cover.

Rocket League is a good indicator of how good your CoD guns are tbh. Plus it's super fun.

I got the VMP to the top level and am now trying other guns because why not it's fun to do bad sometimes. Until I accidentally do good while trying to level up an assault rifle. Awareness is so overpowered it's basically wallhacks. I'll sit at a window shooting at guys, hear someone downstairs, jump out the window and run back to the entrance, and catch the dude on the stairs because he was trying to sneak up on me.

Lol if you can't take on snipers at long range with the VMP, grip & long barrel. I use a mouse to aim though, so that might be it.

The Kuda has almost identical stats, however the recoil pattern is more in line with the old MP5 from Cod4. Razorback with rapid fire is very comparable with the Razorback having a lot more ammunition.

There isn't a gun comparable to the Peacekeeper to be honest. Razorback is your closest bet, but it shoots slower and doesn't pack as much of a punch as the Peacekeeper.

Put long barrel and rapid fire on it and you might be happy.

It was a loving 1200RPM laser. Probably the majority of my five digit score BO2 games were with it.

Peacekeeper was hardly a gun that packed a punch, with its low fire rate and 4 shots to kill. Even the irons on the Razorback remind me of it (unless I'm remembering the Peacekeeper's irons wrong). e: actually, just checked some stats and the Razorback has a lower fire rate, and the Peacekeeper a higher one, than I thought, 625RPM vs 750.

tjones posted:

Its recoil pattern is way worse than the Skorpion's (read: not straight up), which kind of kills trying to use it the same way for me. Also while it's technically true that it doesn't have as much ammo, it's only two bullets less per mag.

Yeah, the VMP and BO2 MP7 are extremely similar, though I think the VMP has a bit less horizontal recoil than the MP7 did. Although the Kuda has a much shorter 3SK range than the MSMC iirc and a bit more recoil I think (I didn't use the MSMC that much so I might be wrong about this), kind of like the PDW, but with 60% of the ammo.

That was in Ghosts I think but I stopped playing that in like March after it came out (which was still much later than I should have quit)

e: dunno if anyone has posted this yet, I guess I had assumed someone had at some point, but here are BO3 stats (tldr: grip and rapid fire are bad but not as bad as in BO2)

I'm kinda surprised that they didn't announce any new specialist or weapon in the map pack. If they were going to do it at all I would've figured they would shove it into the first DLC to drive season pass numbers.

I think the recoil is comparable, but I'll concede. I tend to burst these type of guns beyond 15 meters anyway. Overall ammo capacity is what I was talking about, but I confused the two. The Vesper has more overall ammo than the Skorpion did.

A bunch of PS4 goons had a good time taking pictures the only pubby that didn't quit out of a glitched game, ElMario. It set up the teams with 7 and 4, the 7 being our 6 and another pubby, who eventually found our photo op and killed ElMario. So we tried to gravity spike him off of our team.
There's a similar glitch in Aquarium I saw where you can get atop the lamp-posts at the front entrance. Someone was sitting up there making people's lives miserable because whatever boundary was crossed made them unkillable unless you were firing from a particular angle.

Yeah, it's under specialist customization, taunts and gestures. If you have one unlocked on that specialist it will show the option, if you have multiples you can choose which one. Taunts are not account-wide, so if you unlock one for the Ruin you can't use it on Nomad or whatever.

Well poo poo that's what I get for not refreshing but I provided additional info!
