Nightmares sucks because really it's the campaign without the entertainingly retarded story about Cyborgs SVU, and nothing you do counts towards camos or whatever.

I agree. Played a few rounds last night against some master prestige scrub who was running Haymaker. At first I thought he might not be bad because he had around 350spm and 2.3KD, I was wrong. All of his "skill" was from the haymaker.

Also that new crossbow is ridiculous, had one round where all I heard was the whistle from it shooting and guys were dropping like flies. I picked it up after he died at one point and ran around with it for a minute, it was pretty OP until I tried to shoot arrows across the map trying to figure out the drop rate so I could pick off stationary guys sniping. Didn't really work out well. However, now I am 1360 tokens down and 0 crate weapons. Still need a wrench, butterfly knife, kuckles and all the new stuff. On the plus side I have more inferno camos than I can count and the burn duplicates has allowed me to try a few more rolls.

I have spent $200 of my money and $20 donated money in attempts to get the new weapons.

Full disclosure I have spent around $20 on CoD points when it was 50% off.

I spent 20 bucks this weekend (had extra cash on my steam account, cod is all I play)

More telling is that they had (semi) reasonably priced stupid dlc for Ghosts, then did childhood gambling crates for AW, cleaned house, and decided to keep that system for BO3.

Also they slow rolled the release of actual weapons in the BO3 crates, clearly the number of people they're going to piss off is far less than the amount of $$$ they'll make from rubes.

Basically what I'm saying is good luck on your one rare crate roll per night and/or spend a few hundred bucks for your space garand.

To be honest, this feels like a ploy to prevent The Division from getting any users. I mean, you got the PC Multiplayer Starter Pack, constant 2x weekends... would not be surprised if the whole idea is just "gently caress Ubisoft" at this point.

Does the wall-running intrigue you? Do you also like space shotguns and space SMGs? Would you consider popping a few extra for the Season Pass? And do you like batshit crazy plots with you killing dudes?

It has Ubisoft aiming, which had never, loving ever- been worth a gently caress; and I say that as someone who's played or owned almost every shooter they've made since Splinter Cell One. Never even mind the 30fps limit, or chopping the game apart to literally require the dlc edition.

And even less weapon variety than Borderlands one or launch Destiny.

It wasn't horrible in the beta and the TTK is so low you have plenty of opportunity to correct if you're off, but :shrug: I rather liked the beta but that's a small slice of a game over a weekend so it could turn into repetitive dumb horseshit pretty quickly.

I know exactly what you're talking about, "Ubisoft aiming", all their shooters have that weird jank to them, even most recently that new Rainbow Six game included, but I assume you haven't played The Division beta because it actually plays really well, SURPRISINGLY well actually. The shooting is real tight and precise.

No idea what you mean about the weapon variety lacking because there was quite a bit from the beta, but I'm assuming there's more we haven't seen, maybe it'll be on the same level as loldestiny.

Even if it had a lack of weapon variety, the meat of the game is in the Dark Zone where the merciless paramilitary antics of certain Goons really come out. closer

Highly recommend you try to score it on the cheap. Or if you're fine with it, venture off into those "gray area" sites like G2A or CDKeys. I think one of them had the full game for about $30. It's gray, but reliable gray for the most part.

It's just my subjective opinion, but I consider the present/near future a bad choice for a loot game, because 95% of the weapons just shoot bullets. I want Einhander/Metal Slug/Contra: The FPS levels of variety, which even BL1-3 let me down on. And Destiny ultimately only has what- seven different guns? Changing the numbers is irrelevant; what I look for is entire different types and schools of weaponry.

I want lasers, flamethrowers, and sound-seeking bee missiles.

Did you quit the game after it ended? If you did, you must wait till the final killcam starts playing. If you are playing a game mode with 2 rounds, you must wait all the way until the winner's circle comes up before pressing quit game.

If you quit early, you get no cryptokeys although your challenges and XP will count.

Nuketown playlists are only up for double XP weekends, although back when they allowed you to play a map repeatedly the Chaos Moshpit was a nuketown playlist anyway.
