maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



Not sure for most games, but Dom/HP basically requires the person to be killed while in the zone capturing the objective. You have to place the sentry pretty well because usually you'd put it somewhere where it would kill people before they actually get in there.

It's a real pain in the rear end. During one Hardpoint game I put it at such an angle that it wouldn't shoot anyone that wasn't already deep inside the cap area. Got a ton of kills and not a single one counted. Now I wonder if my Sentry itself has to be outside the zone, but that will have to wait, I'm all blop'd out for now.

Does anyone know what qualifies as a Sentry Gun defending an objective? (for Defender) It sounds simple, but no amount of my Sentry killing Attackers near/in objectives will count for it. I've tried a little Domination and Hardpoint so far.

As long as the sentry gun can hit someone when they're on A/B/C it'll count. I got that early on from sentry guns in care packages before I found out their awesomeness. Does another killstreak also count towards it? not near my PS but and may be remembering wrong. (E 2: It's the GI Unit. Probably not a helpful fix to your problem.)

Has anyone completed the "buddy" challenge with the GI Unit? Any tips? Does it have to be a bloodthirsty, on one GI Unit, or in one game? I checked my challenges and realised I nearly have that master card so figure I'll try and complete it this weekend.

E:

Places to put the sentry gun on the only two maps that get voted for:

Combine: In the room overlooking B/Next to the barrels overlooking B from the opposite side.

Fringe: On the rooftop overlooking B.

To speed things up, throw a trophy system near it and guard the rear.

Using it near A/C might seem like it'd help but it'll just change the spawns. Focus on B.

I got that last night when I pulled a GI out of a care package on Fringe TDM. Not sure if it has to be a single GI Unit as that was the only one I've ever used but it does not have to be in a single life. I got 3 kills and died, respawned and the challenge/calling card popped when I killed 2 more.

That's awesome, cheers. I usually send him on his merry way rather than let him guard me, but I'll start having him tag along and go on a killing spree.

I do? Pretty sure my rage is confined to the following points:

- lag where I shoot first, hit first, and die first (this has actually been significantly less frequent this month)
- dying to the Ripper knife
- dying to the Drakon/Locus/SVG
- my reloading and getting caught like a loving dumbass
- Dom on Fringe
- Safeguard on anything
- Ground War as of last night
- Fuzzo not having his text to speech thing on :haw:
- people being good with the Argus
- being spawn trapped
- losing games
- grinding specialist/weapon challenges
- looking away from a choke point and immediately dying
- losing a long range battle to an SMG

This has been a constant loving issue for me when playing with the US crew. Getting 3 hitmarkers on a dudes chest with the Kuda at short range and dying instantly then seeing that you never even fired a shot off on the killcam is the most infuriating poo poo.
It was never even close to this bad playing AW. I have always felt like the Treyarch games consistantly have shittier netcode.

How great is C4 in this game? I never used it because it's such a high level unlock and I prestige fast. I may have to waste a permanent unlock on it.

I'm just seeing this challenge "get a double kill 3 times in one match using lethals" which seems to be a good time to start throwing C4.

using a point on a lethal that might get you a kill 20% of the time is kinda goofy tho imo. c4 obviously raises that percentage with the alarm but you're still spending a point that could be better spent on a perk or an attachment

C4 is okay, but feels weak. The deploy delay that prevents air blast limits the usability in combat.

C4 is best suited for objectives, but so are all lethals.

C4 is also only lethal that you can't replenish with scavenger while one is deployed.

I get more double kills with cooked grenades or trip mines. Throw them into busy locations and you'll get multiple kills.

For me AW was worse, to the point I outright refused to play anything other than Hardcore, and quit. And MW3 was just plain broken for me. The :iw: shakeup really hosed that company's QC.

They'll make that part of map pack DLC like they did with Hijacked/Skyjacked. Nuketown is now the classic pre-order bonus, it will never go away.

DLC playlist is going to be Skyjacked 24/7 isn't it? Might as well be one map for that 15 bucks. gently caress.
