Start of a second dom round, let the other team start to cap B, throw smoke, pulse and then fire a rocket launcher right in the middle.

'PlayStation is the new home of Call of Duty,' says PlayStation CEO on exclusive deal'

Sony has taken over for Microsoft as far as Call of Duty exclusivity goes, with a new deal that will bring all map packs to PlayStation first from this point forward, PlayStation CEO Andrew House announced today during Sony's E3 2015 press briefing.
The exclusive arrangement will begin with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, which launches Nov. 6 on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. It is also in development for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Developer Treyarch will kick off Black Ops 3's multiplayer beta this August exclusively on PS4.
"PlayStation is the new home of Call of Duty," said House. This is an inversion of a relationship that began with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in 2007, where map packs launched first on Xbox.
For more on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, check out our campaign co-op and multiplayer previews. You can check out the reveal trailer below, and watch the entire presentation from Sony's press briefing above.

Competitive Call of Duty officially switching over to PlayStation 4 with Black Ops 3

Activision and Treyarch have announced that starting with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, competitive Call of Duty will be played on the PlayStation 4. This is the first time a PlayStation console will be highlighted with Call of Duty eSports since Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Vonderhaar said ‘PlayStation is the new home of Call of Duty eSports.’
This news follows the announcement from E3 2015 that PlayStation gamers will get Call of Duty downloadable content first starting with Black Ops 3.

You need 300 tho so there's no way to do it without spending real money (which at minimum is $2 for 200 so youd still have 100 left over, tempting you) -- you get a shitload of slots though holy cow, it bumps you up to 25

RE: Tempest chat earlier in the thread. It's a cool thing, and you can use it to shoot down killstreaks too. And it's fun when a group of 3-4 players charge at you and you hit one and he electrocutes all the others :)

And RE: East/West coast crews, are there any European crews running? If so, add me on PSN: bdb1001. It seems like I am never online when you guys get parties going :(

It's a remix of campaign with Zombie enemies and powerups. It unlocks when you finish the regular campaign.

I believe I am now no longer in the presence of nice people.


So on a whim, I unlocked the Vesper, Primary Gunner 1, and Overkill. I regret the latter two, though with PG1 not as much.

Also I learned the joys of BlackCells and Scorestreak destroying.

Just in case you don't know, it USED to unlock that way. Presumably because <1% of the players or something like that were finishing the campaign, the patch unlocked it for everyone so people interested in zombies but not in Law & Order: SVU can enjoy it too.

That window is great for double C4 kills. I'm not sure if that's a thing anymore but if it is, do it there.

Stux posted:

I did it the same way I did all the specialist dumb doubles (so far): Find two people next to/near each other - activate - murder down. Activating in the hopes of finding two people will never work as you have a split second of time on vision pulse. These challenges are much easier when you already have two targets lined up. Failing that, Breach B. The answer to everything is Breach B.

Can't sing kudacabana with the VMP.

I'm alternating between the Pharo and Kuda at the moment. Sick of the Vesper, sick of the VMP. Occasionally I use the Weevil if I feel sassy.

E: Saw my first two "orange level" prestige masters last night. Once you hit prestige master and go above 55 your level is shown in orange, not white. Confused the gently caress out of me at first. The best part of it seems to be that you can choose whichever prestige symbol too.

So there are people who are on 10th prestige and over lvl 55? And all they get is an emblem and their name in orange?

Since the weekends XP shenanigans I've seen 3? prestige masters. before that only 2. However yesterday (post-patch) is the first time I saw orange level numbers.

Googling, I found this blurb:

quote:

Once you reach Master Prestige, you have the ability to rank up further. As you rank up, you will have the ability to unlock Black Ops 2, Black Ops 1, and World at War prestige icons to equip on your character in-game.

and

quote:

Once you have hit Prestige Master, you are now level 56. You can now level up further WITHOUT a fresh start.
To get past level 56 (to 57) you need 55,000 XP. Other levels XP is unknown.
Currently, new max level is 1000.

Emblem Unlocks:

Level 100: 1st Prestige – W@W, BO1, BO2
Level 200: 2nd Prestige – W@W, BO1, BO2
Level 300: 3rd Prestige – W@W, BO1, BO2
Level 400: 4th Prestige – W@W, BO1, BO2
Level 500: 5th Prestige – W@W, BO1, BO2
Level 600: 6th Prestige – W@W, BO1, BO2
Level 700: 7th Prestige – W@W, BO1, BO2
Level 800: 8th Prestige – W@W, BO1, BO2
Level 900: 9th Prestige – W@W, BO1, BO2
Level 1000: 10th Prestige – W@W, BO1, BO2
Level 1000: 11-15th Prestige – BO1
Level 1000: Prestige Master – BO2

QD and laser is strong, ive been running it with pg as well to chuck on rapid fire. laser helps a lot with close range/firing before you're fully ADS because of the burst fire
