Can't hear them in party chat, so pretty pointless. One of the cods and/or halos had rage mics punch through party chat, which was literally the greatest thing, but not this one :(

That was BLOPS II, and I sort of wish they had kept it around because it was hilarious. BLOPS3 is push to talk on PC, so I probably won't hear any rage mics in this game.

So it turns out uselessness knows no platform boundaries. I decided to kick into domination for the hell of it tonight and the concept of capturing points is still completely lost on people. Multiple times I found myself the only person on B with four snipers looking down sights waiting for enemies that they couldn't kill before they got to me, it was absolutely amazing to watch.

I'm like level 28 at the moment and I've been running the default LMG pretty constantly, but I've found the Vesper and the HVK or whatever that assault rifle is called are pretty decent early on. The Haymaker seems to be the only shotgun I ever see in the game and it reminds me of the AA-12 spam you would get in the MW games where the best of us will dominate with it and the worst players will fall victim.

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.

Cyber abilities are used with L1/R1, and you can change which one your active is by holding down on the dpad and moving the right stick (a radial menu will appear when holding down)

To be able to convert or control a turret, you have to be using the Control core and unlock the appropriate ability.

Also, I've been using the KN44 all the time and I'm in love with it. First time I got a gold camo. But now I kinda want to use another AR before I get burned out on it. Any suggestions? ICR?

Reminds me of throwing the axe every time I spawned on nukeboat when trying to get the master of humiliation calling card.

Until I unlock the back and L-Car I'm out of dumb challenges to do, so I guess I'll go for hero body on the seraph. I got 4 kills in 1 annihilator on my first try and then on my second missed someone three times in a row before they gravity spiked me and welp. Second game I got 3 kills then 2 on the second and 1 short no gently caress this gently caress you.

So Javes joined us fairly late last night, running usual wraith/hatr/raps nonsense, he does the streak and we go 'NO NO, NO RAPS, RAPS SCARES CHRISTMAS NEWBIES'

Sure enough, following game team calls in 4 Wraiths back to back but they don't quit

Raps makes scary noises :ohdear:

The best part about rolling thunder is that it will cleanse the map of raps. Which to be honest is not enough motivation to run it but when you call thunder just after raps drop it is a points goldmine.

I think my best haul was 4 raps, a talon and 3 dead pubbies. Even better than rolling thundering a wraith.

Yeah I don't usually suffer the bad rubberbanding but 400ms redspikes are fairly frequent. Naturally most often when I get near enemy players.
