That would have been fine if I needed the revenge kills anymore, but I just needed the bloodthirsties. It's all good though. Diamond SMG's are done, and now I get to never use the Razorback ever again!

For those that have done the DM grind, is there any order you did it in that you liked? I'm done with snipers, AR's, SMG's, and launchers. I think pistols are going suck. And the Gorgon.

I'm doing it now and I've done - Shotguns, SMG, AR, Knife, and I have just the Gorgon left for LMG's - Launchers just happened naturally.

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



I'm down to 2 rifles and 2 lmgs for DM - pistols were actually significantly easier than the shotguns. If you miss a headshot with a pistol you miss a headshot, but the shotguns that require headshots spray poo poo everywhere and half the time you'll 'miss' your perfectly lined up headshot because the server decided they died from a pellet grazing their shoulder.

LMGs aren't bad. Either are pistols. You really need those and the knife and it sounds like you're done. Grind the pistols in hardcore. It's much easier.

For the knife, your bloodthirsty kills might be a challenge. Also you need 200 kills with it before you start the challenges, so I'd recommend getting going on that since that's a big chunk of the time to get secondaries diamonds.

Man, does anyone else have problems with lag in this game? I had to quit Advanced Warfare because the lobbies got too laggy, and it is even worse in this one. I am literally rubber-banding and people are warping around like the a Japanese horror movie ghost. It really sucks because I've really liked these last two CoDs a lot, but it is just unplayable for me. I don't know if it is on my end or there are less lobbies or they hosed something up with the netcode.

The last two weeks have been really bad. Lots of hiccups where the game freezes for an instant (which seems to happen whenever someone leaves / joins a lobby), players running in stop motion, maps loading without textures and overall general weirdness. We had a game last night on Metro where if anyone died your corpse would just appear outside for a brief second before you respawned. Its very hit or miss if the connections are good these days. I wonder if some of the issue stems from a declining player base so the game is looking farther away to find a server.

Cross post from the ps+ thread and off-topic, but since I play with you guys somewhat regularly know that my ps+ got hacked and they set the primary to some system in Russian. It's being sorted, but you guys may want to login and make sure you didn't get hacked too. If "deactivate all" isn't available under your account and your machine isn't set as the primary, you're in the same boat as me.

I think I already have close to 100 knife kills from a few prestiges ago when I got bored and wanted to piss everyone off. Are pistols 2-shot kill in HC or can you get away with 1-shot?

What I've read on the shotgun headshots is just put a laser on and aim slightly over their head? I'm done with KRM and almost done with Argus, so I just have the two worst left. Also, gently caress the Brecci. I don't know how I can get murdered from across the room with one, but as soon as I pull it out, I have to be within like a 6 inch radius to register hit markers.

Pistols are generally 2-shot kills in HC for body shots. Headshots are 1 though, I believe. I recommend using the ELO as for some reason that makes the bullets magnetic to their heads (at least in my experience).

Wait...Brecci and Haymaker are the GOOD shotguns. I know you have to get headshots with them, but it's really not that bad. Most will tell you to do jump shots over people and aim down. That works. What I found that worked best for my playstyle was aiming ever so slightly up right after I spawn and hip firing. You'll be surprised how often you'll pop their head - especially in HC.

SO. UH. YOU PS4 FUCKERS SHOULD PLAY THAT NEW ZOMBIE MAP. IF ONLY BECAUSE YOU CAN GET MOST OF THE MP DLC WEAPONS THERE.

And by most, I mean the HG 40, the MX Garand, and possibly DUAL WIELD Marshal 16s. Don't think the crossbows or the Interdiction would get in because it just won't like the P-06, XR-2, and the Razorback.

BUT YEAH YOU PS4 FUCKERS.

Xbox was not finding many games lastnight even in TDM. Is this a server thing or is the population already thinning out?

Drinking everytime Macys screams about bullshit is apparently excessive and I honestly can't remember the last time I hurt from drinking so much, which is saying something.

Pretty sure that's what we were doing. We gave up on rage and waited for you to start with the obscenities. We even had judges help determine if it was valid or not.
