victrix posted:I've seen that lag spike happen a few times, but it's pretty rare. Related are 4 bar lobbies that aren't, and 3 bar opponents that skip around on your screen. Thankfully a relatively rare occurrence in our evening games so far. I always use Hard Wired, but I haven't unlocked Dead Silence yet on Xbox so I just use Awareness. Most of the people who shoot me in the back are not using Dead Silence, so its frustrating when I should be hearing them. I shoot down UAVs pretty fast so I don't use Ghost. I guess I could start using it on classes that don't have launchers and see if it makes a difference.

The value of dead silence is not that it silences your sounds from others, but it silences your sounds to yourself. If you hear footsteps, you KNOW someone is around, and they don't get muddld in with your own. In turn, if I hear a sound, and there's no one on radar, that's some rear end in a top hat. That's how people are able to ADS before you've even turned the corner if you aren't using it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51J0H4bwYQ8 I saw three as I was coming down, then two as I was killing them, and only realized the third died and hadn't fled when the 3K notice showed up. That's why I'm jumping around right after, because I'm panicking there's a third near me and I'm not very good.

This supports my theory that everyone who kills me is a drat hacking piece of trash.

Nah, the spawns are just that predictable. I do it all the time. And because of infinite sprint, you can consistently predict arrival times from when dots appear on the map. V - :iamafag: Mister Facetious fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Dec 19, 2015 |

There's certainly people buying more mountain dew for codes, as well as people who might not normally buy mountain dew at all. Though having the 2xp codes be Zombies only is pretty loving stupid.

Warning: Silly question incoming. Do people dislike skill based matchmaking because it reduces the amount of easy kill fodder they get to work over, or is there some other issue? From a purely detached point of view putting people in a lobby with others of approximately the same skill level would seem like a good thing.

However I don't see any reason to believe the reports on Reddit are true, it looks like it's doing what it's always been doing which is putting you in a lobby based purely on connection quality and then sorting teams after the fact according to perceived player skill. And if the game decides it's gonna be really picky about both those factors you end up with a situation like Halo 3 (I think that was the first one on 360?) where even with a ton of people playing it could literally take like 5 minutes to find a match

BrokenKnees posted:There's certainly people buying more mountain dew for codes, as well as people who might not normally buy mountain dew at all. I can sorta see what they were going for here. I mean, for one, remember the LAST time Multiplayer had Dew-ble XP? Wasn't it not only a money-printing scheme but also severely frowned upon? Though I could be misremembering things. Plus, as of now, there are some people without a season pass, so they can't do the grind on The Giant like a sane person would. Addendum, Shadows of Evil can get pretty loving complicated despite being a level for a mode that is literally "Shoot Things: The Mode", barring Easter Eggs. Then again, I will agree that Multiplayer's grind is a bit steep in some cases too. I am a bad, so I only see about 5-6k xp on a normal day on Domination only, with probably less Weapon XP for weapons I really really want to give better mods to. And about 10 or so more Scorestreak Destructions closer to the penultimate BlackCell camos. All in all, yes, more Multiplayer XP is fine, but I'd rather it be a legit 2XP weekend instead of Dew-ble XP. Don't wanna poison my body or Mother Earth with whatever the gently caress Dew and Doritos are made of just so I can have one more hour of Dew-ble XP. I'm coining the term "Dew-ble XP", loving sue me. RossCo posted:Warning: Silly question incoming. Well duh on all accounts.

Connections this week are the worse they have ever been, and we are getting matched against teams more and more frequently. The last two games I played tonight were a stuttering mess, and we managed to barely win the first game, but the second one wasn't even close. Somehow this didn't effect the enemy team at all. There was also another game we lost earlier with the top enemy player having a 3-bar connection and getting very questionable kills. I watched my ping jump from 30 to 180 whenever this guy came near me. To paraphrase another Goon, I feel like I'm getting worse at this game the more I play it.

I liked how people stockpiled thousands of hours of double dew XP when it was limited to 24 hours.  At one point, IW turned double XP on in MW3 and never turned it off.

ok I'm about to go for a marathon session to try and prestige. (No. 7!!!) I will be seeing if the flashbang is my next keeper or if I get so annoyed that I keep flashbanging myself I go with a gun or something. Also I'm hoping to gold the kuda. I'm also a few headshots away from 100 with the Pharo so I could possibly get both into a healthy position/complete in the 6 levels I have left. E: Or it will all go to poo poo because public dom. The fun is in the discovery.

I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep. So I wasted a bunch of time in Theater mode, first getting a good picture of a fun kill I had but then just looking around when I realized there are some weird details in this game.  "The Annihilator."   Every character has their own dog tags. Not worth a picture, but I also noticed that Outrider (I think, trying to remember) has only a blood type listed whereas most have BT and then some note about cybernetics type. So I guess she's entirely human.  She just wanted coffee...  Magazines in Stronghold. "Why Save Big?" "Why 5ave Big?"  I remember when Computer Man only had a helicopter to his name.   Usually seen at great distance, to be fair.   You have a nice fuckin' day now!

I only started playing with headphones recently and then I noticed how much effort they put in to make the game sound good. So much ambient noises that you barely hear when there's guns shooting and explosions everywhere. But they are there and that's cool.

Is the concept of not wanting SBMM and the debacle around it that hard to understand? As already said COD is notorious for poo poo connections and net code. So to have all the above with skill being a preference over a connection is pretty LOL. Advanced Warfare really was that bad with its connection (I liked the game otherwise) and I'm pretty sure it's why it died off so early with goons and everyone else. Especially when goons live in different places poo poo gets all wonky in matchmaking Dalai Trauma posted:Had a guy go 0-101 because he spent all match shooting rockets into his feet How else you gonna get a lobby of scrubs so you can post that sick YouTube game footage
