Just teasing you dude, but seriously- there's pretty much always one-to-three assholes with a Locus/Drakon/P-06, regardless of map size, level of competence, or feasibility.

My wife loves zombies but won't play regular multiplayer. Why do the Blops gods not take pity on me and include an easy mode with no achievements or xp? It's inhuman what they expect you to do to survive after round 10. People have laser guns and poo poo and actually use those gum balls even though they all seem terrible except the limited ones you buy in the lobby store. :negative:

Blops 2 used to have an easy mode. But uh, it's Blops 2 Zombies, so only two-three maps are worth it.

Do you have the season pass? Only because The Giant is a thing that you can get to high rounds on real easy. It's a remake of one of the best WaW Zombies maps, so ofc it's easy.

And I will be honest, getting set up on maps like Shadows of Evil and Der Eisendrache can be tedious. Basically aim for Jugger-Nog(Juggernaut), Speed Cola(Sleight of Hand), Staminup (Lightweight/Marathon in one), and maybe Double Tap 2/Widow's Wine/Electric Cherry. Stay the gently caress away from Mule Kick unless you got a Perkaholic going. And for DE, either finish the Pack-a-Punch machine in either of the two spots in the larger portion since gently caress having to spend 500 to spend 5000 more points to maybe spend 2500 more points if you got 'em.

RE: The gum. You'd be surprised what the stock ones can do for ya. 10 secs of no zombie touchy? Filling your ammo supplies by shooting zombies? Fast Hands minus reload speed? Fuckin' Gung Ho? Yeap. You got a few that are worth it. Shame most of 'em feel like hot poo poo, so.

Other than that, have-a-fun. Also that offline Zombies lets you kit your guns out completely. Fast Mags stacks with Speed Cola. :getin:

Unrelated, but somehow I got some CODO footy. Two Nuketown rounds, a Rust round, and a Highrise round. Also a bit that shows off some weapons. Lime green .44 and that psychedelic Intervention are some wants. Unfortunately, I have definitely seen the worst the game has, plus another bad point.

The game has the loving Combat Arms system for loving every bit that goes into a loadout. Including killstreaks. :stonk: At least perks can be bought with the free currency permanently? But god loving drat if that ain't a dealbreaker I dunno what is.

No problem. The SMGs and ARs have enough variety to fit just about anybody's playstyle, including guns which are almost hybrids between each class.

Or you can grind the Drakon until you get the ELO (low profile red dot), and then just spam fire it like the M21/Dragunov/M14 in various CoD games, like Coltron does. :supaburn:

You don't see many snipers since Treyarch effectively killed quickscoping. There's no aim assist on the 2 snipers that would be used for quickscoping, the Locus and SVG, and there's little aim assist on the Drakon and P-06. Sniping is also difficult because of the size of the maps, and speed of the game. The only sniper I recall seeing with any regularity is the Drakon, but that's just an AR with more sway and a higher ADS time. But if you're good at sniping, the sniper rifles are all pretty good in this game (although the P-06 takes some adjustment.)

BTW for all the spreadsheet fans out there, here are the recoil plots for BO3. It confirms a few things I've thought, namely the Weevil's recoil being disgustingly bad (worse than the VMP!)

I never liked zombies because the few times I played it in past CODs it felt like it was made for people who would follow a rigid strategy and not have any fun.

Zombies info

Thank you for the advice! I have the pass but her favorite is City of the Dead because Jeff Goldblum makes love to your ears. I should really look up how more information on how the mechanics work. I still have no idea if enemies scale depending on how many people are in the game, for example. It seems the same whether it's two or four.

I'd question why the fundamentally hard map is her favorite, but I will admit that Jeff Goldblum is a viable and possibly the best reason. The Goon is a close second.

Some things to know about that map: You should do the rituals. They activate the gun upgrading portal thingy. Also when you see a big-rear end three headed monster, shoot the head :siren:ONLY WHEN ITS GLOWING YELLOW:siren: I am not kidding, that fucker will no-sell any shot not into its mouth. Also said fucker will come when you finish two rituals, and then when you finish the other two rituals. Also comes at Round 8 and at certain points of the quest on that map. But after reading through a walkthrough, it's safe to say you probably should just unlock Pack-a-Punch and continue on normally.

And finally, get to know the box that costs 950 dollars. It will be your life if you don't have Wall Power, since both the Haymaker and the Man-O-War are box-exclusive and loving amazing here, plus gambling at cheaper wall weapons and getting the ever-popular Monkey Bombs. :shepface:

I wouldn't buy it solely for Extinction, but I'd at least consider it more of a value towards the cost of the game than I do with Zombies.

Essentially alien :catdrugs:.

Further explanation: Divinium is actually what makes the zombies in the Zombies game mode, and is the 115th element on the periodic table of that universe. Those vials you can earn are spent making gum-shaped drugs that are way better than most of the ones you get.

tl:dr Liquid Divinium = German manufactured alien :catdrugs:
