The BRM and Dingo are a Manowar and a HVK with no High Caliber. I hated them both and was incredibly glad to see their rear ends, I won't be touching either again now that they're gold.

The brm, for whatever reason, is by far the best weapon in this game.

Yeah, fired this up for the first time, and it seems awesome. Seemingly no recoil at all.

I also prestiged and dicked around with the first shotgun (KRM?). Did surprisingly OK

The BRM is one of my favorite guns.

Then again I like all of the LMGs.

Trophies are funnier than they have any right to be. Tossing one at B on Combine right at the beginning of the round and watching a spam of it just blowing poo poo up is hilarious. Although I'm pretty sure it killed me yesterday? I died on the site and it said "mistakes were made".

Just guessing, the Trophy might've blown up something too close to you when you were damaged by something else. Not too sure how it works this time around. Your trophy might've shot a explosive thrown at you, and killed you with it, technically meaning your equipment blew you up? :confused:

BRM may not have high cal, but it has far less recoil and is always a 3 shot kill. The Dingo is ok, not great. LMGs (and snipers) in general seem like a terrible fit for your playstyle anyway.

Superanos posted:

In my camo quest I have started playing with the Dingo. It's the worst weapon in the game. It's an LMG that takes 4-5 body hits to kill so I will always lose if me and the enemy with any other gun start shooting at the same time.

I can't think of anything good about it other than the mag size (being an LMG), but you could just put Extended Mag on an assault rifle to achieve the same thing and without the super long reload.

Dingo is always a 4 hit kill. One of my few super kills (and a 5 or 6 feed at that) was with an exmags Dingo.

Friendly PSA reminder: don't put a silencer on an LMG (Dredge excepted)

I stopped running UAV and CUAV when people decided that they all were gonna pack blackcells at all times.Care package, lightning strike/sentry and then wraith/rolling thunder.
Here is the "if you give a mouse a cookie" summary of cod
- Stopping Power is too good, let's get rid of Stopping Power
- now Ghost is too good, let's split the perk up into multiple categories
- Ghost is still too good, let's nerf it so it only works while moving
- now UAV is too good, let's make it require higher scorestreak to get
- now everybody runs launchers to shoot down UAVs, let's buff all the other scorestreaks

in conclusion, bring back stopping power as a perk :getin:

It's the landing the two hits that's a bit iffy. The fire rate and ADS are glacier-slow to make up for the damage. Good, powerful gun, but between hit-kick, lag, and 90% of the user base using SMGs, you'll get out-drawn, just plain miss, and die a whole bunch. Give the ManOWar a try if you're looking for something with a bit more power, but a more forgiving handling / RoF.

So for some reason while I was playing last night and most of today whenever I called in a care package I could double tap square to choose something else instead of the first option. Then suddenly that option went away. Anyone know what I or the game changed so I couldn't do that anymore?

That's from a perk. You must have been playing a class with it, then without it.

Yeah the range got nerfed (and the hipfire is worse) as of last week's patch but it's still really good. It was my favorite until I unlocked the Pharo (which surprisingly seems really good as a hipfire SMG)

Yeah - everything the trophy defends against causes a small explosion, and it will damage/kill you depending on how close you were to that. Any time the game can't credit your death to another player it will just be "mistakes were made".

Which is funny because they seem to be going for the console servers. Us PC users will be laughing at their shittiness all the way to Prestige. As I cry over how I still can't get a solo match of SoE running consistently. Or as I cry over no access to The Giant.

CoD netcode pre-MW3 was the only netcode that allowed me to play against the French, Mexico, and California, and still have a better than even chance of kicking their rear end, because it worked the way it's loving supposed to.

Since then, if the host isn't east of Illinois, I can win the war of reaction time and still lose the ping war.

CoD4 and MW2 absolutely, but BO1 was the start of a dark descent. I remember pulling out my BO1 disc in a fury one night and popping MW2 back in just to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Ghosts was the first CoD since MW2 where I could shoot a dude, get hitmarkers, trust he was dead and move on.

BO3 is... ok... ish. Better than BO2 at least.

Three companies seemingly using three sets of netcode is pretty loving miserable though.

If you were West Coast, you were basically hosed if you played night BLOPS. Host preference was heavily weighted to the UK and Eastern time zones until way, way late in the night, when most of the crew had gone to sleep.

But I never had an issue with it unless the host was in like, Germany, Oz/NZ, or Hawaii... or OMG Snarf, with his one bar of awesomeness.
