Yeah, working on it right now and it doesnt compare if the other team is running smgs and poo poo

When I can't win any fair gun fights I either toss on a KN-44 with a silencer or I just use the KRM. Of course if I am playing like poo poo because I am getting weird latency the KRM just causes a bunch of hit markers that I know are normally one shot kills and that can be even more tilting.

I ran into a prestige 1000 dude yesterday and his score didn't show up in the lobby at all. I assumed he was boosted somehow but I don't think I've run into someone who doesn't show up on the lobby scoreboard at all.

All of the prestige 1000 guys I've seen have hosed up stats, like they've cheated it somehow :monocle: If they don't show up in the lobby normally it's because they've never played that gametype before and have no stats to show (you see this with lvl 1 guys).

Got any good advice for that? You seem pretty relaxed in your streams for somebody who used to get angry. I take this poo poo too seriously sometimes and it kinda ruins my enjoyment of this game. I'm not breaking anything, but I'm sure people would appreciate if I stopped complaining. I should be used to this laggy nonsense of a game (series) by now.

Lol if Treyarch still hasn't fixed the account copying glitch that was revealed over a month ago. Basically these "mods" are boosted accounts that they copy to you using that glitch.

It would be easier to ignore it, if the netcode was at least consistent in its being laggy or good (cause then you just go, "welp, whaddya gonna do"), but p2p being what it is, well... netcode that can vary like a manic depressive drives me up the wall.

It's not like they have dedicated servers for this, so you're also at the mercy of whomever gets host.

I unironically start kniferunning. I don't pick up any guns, I just run around like an idiot swinging my dick knife at anything that moves.

I figure, if I'm going to die a lot (A LOT), I might as well have some fun doing it. At least until someone on the other team starts doing it too and then goons start whining.

I still can't figure out why everyone hates the ICR, it's the best AR for me after the KN-44. v:shobon:v It's certainly better than the burst rifles, that's for drat sure. gently caress THOSE THINGS

As long as p2p is part of the game, the netcode will remain mired in poo, because they're forced to design and code it with the assumption that someones potato modem in siberia might be the host.

Compared to Halo 5, which runs like glass, it's kinda embarassing.

It's marginally less lovely than Destiny I guess? But that was 30fps too, which is another level of lovely.

Compared to the man-o-war and the k8a7, I think both of them feel off. It's likely personal play style, but I just don't feel great with them and I'm typically an AR guy in this game. I've unlocked all the camos for the kn-44 and the majority for the icr. I will be glad to be rid of the icr after the last couple are complete.

Try rolling the burst shot ars with a scope instead. I find it helps with them.

Mine stays at a constant 50-60ms most of the time, but there are random spikes up to 400ms. I've also noticed more disconnects lately. Also there are times where it just shits the bed and I have to restart the game completely. Pretty sure it's not my connection since I stay connected to psn.

honestly Its because i play with goons that i stay relaxed. The biggest thing that calms me down when games go down hill is being able to listen to mosquito jones and Macys go apeshit and it reminds me that, hah its just a game!

Meanwhile I'm trying to get diamond shotguns and I'm surprised every time the complete asspile of garbage poo poo known as Haymaker actually kills someone. Headshots also seem to be completely random whether I aim for the head or not. Somehow I seem to be doing better when I don't aim down the sights.
