Ok, that's what I thought, but the fact that a token refund also existed as a prestige reward threw me off :)

So just like in BLOPS 2, I suck with the M8. I got the XR-2's gold camo pretty fast, so I was hoping I would do well with the M8. I guess I'll be a pubby and carry it over with my Prestige Token so I can get Rapid Fire for it.

I'm just not feeling the Ripper like everyone else is. Was on B site on Breach, heard someone coming, got that ripper up, he runs in, I swing, and nothing. He jumps so I spin around and swing again. Nothing. At this point I just start spinning around in a tiny enclosed places flailing wildly, spamming melee until he shoots me. Sometimes I'll get like 3 or 4 people in a row, sometimes it just doesn't seem to detect them even when the weird little indicator is showing it should.

Also I can't get into the Sheiva or Gorgon. I think you guys are messing with me. I'm gonna stick to my flamethrower and fast shooting guns.

Edit: I also added scavenger to my ultra lovely man o war with thermal and smoke combo. I toss so much smoke I think people's computers are crashing.

I still haven't used that gun, I was also awful with it in BLOPS 2 so I've kind of stayed away from it.

How does scavenger work if the opponent isn't running it? Do you just pick up whatever they have as their secondary or do you accumulate more of your support grenades?

It gives you back ammo for your weapons and a tactical/lethal grenade. So if you're running flashbangs, it'll give you back a flashbang for every bag you pick up. Doesn't matter what they're running.

Nice. Next question: does it have to be my kills specifically or can I loot all dead bodies (teammates included)? I'm guessing the latter.

How do people already have every camo in the game unlocked for all the guns? That seems ridiculous to me. It took me two weapon prestiges to finish off the man o war, and it's easily my favorite gun. I'm only like 1/2 way on two of the other assault rifles.

Think back on everything else you've done with your life when you're not playing. Those people didn't do any of it.

Was gonna start actually going for camos on guns. What 4 attachments should I use on the assault rifles? For the most part I'm thinking long barrel, high caliber, fast mags, but I don't know what to use last.

just put anything on it really doesnt matter, the getting 50 kills with full attachments is probably the easiest part of the camos

Clearly. I'm not very good at this game, but I'm having fun.

Also, I've been having an absolute blast running smokes with thermals on assault rifles. Pubbies have no clue what the hell is going on.

I made my name "a actual dragon". At least once per game someone gets mad and corrects my grammar. I tell them it's Canadian or Olde Englishe grammar. This is almost as much fun as when I was President Benjamin Franklin.

Yes. Took me a while to figure this out.

Also, if someone is muted on the final scoreboard that you don't remember muting, chances are they already quit out of the game.

Got a nice calling card for it... "Kill the entire enemy team of at least 6 players in a very short time with a specialist weapon"

You should upload the HIVE kill from the final killcam a day or two ago

Just about every weapon and specialist are pretty useable. Just use what looks interesting.

e: Some perks are probably better than others. I use Dead Silence a lot. Scavenger can be fun too.

Ok singleplayer question here, but how the gently caress do I hack the turrets? I did it the one time in the tutorial and never remembered it until this one bit of Vengence, but I cannot remember the drat button combo. I could swear it was l1+r1 like all the other stuff but you do it while aiming at the drat thing, but that does nothing.

I recall one of the d-pad directions changed what that stupid telekinetic power was, one sets things on fire and another was for hacking?

Muting everyone not in your party is the optimal setting for this game.
