So this happened last night:



9v3 in regular TDM que.

You know I really like this game from a gameplay standpoint, but my god there are parts of this game that are just a technical mess. Promised features missing six months after release, broken & lopsided lobbies, disastrous network conditions whenever they do 2x-whatever weekends. A friends list that sort of half-works, and usually will just pretend like everybody you know is offline. Get your poo poo together 3arch

Not even joking, just as I was finishing typing this up, our group got que'd into another 9v3. Apparently this is the new 7v5. What the actual gently caress.

Dad I'd like to gently caress.

In it, voted 5. Would 9v3 again.

I'm working today but I want to play some shootmans when I get home, roughly 330 MST/PST (this is revotfel btw).

To the goon who was talking about the map packs, some of us who play have them and I do see them from time to time playing with goons. I like having the new maps but I will also play solo if no goons are present so YMMV.

I'd buy the new maps but I never play solo so I don't see the point. I would if I played more zombies though.

You should. The DLC maps are pretty great. One's an ancient nazi castle with a rocket pad nearby and the other's basically "Japanese horticulture gone wrong". Just remember to have fun.

Activision Blizzard to Broadcast Live eSports on Facebook

Video-game giant Activision Blizzard is teaming up with Facebook to deliver live eSports tournament coverage on the social-media service worldwide.
Activision Blizzard Media Networks, headed by former ESPN CEO Steve Bornstein, will launch its new eSports network and programming during the MLG Anaheim Open, a two-day “Call of Duty: Black Ops III” tournament that kicks off June 10, 2016.
The MLG Anaheim Open will also be the inaugural event as for MLG.tv’s live broadcasts on Facebook. The company unveiled the pact at its Digital Content NewFronts event Thursday in NYC.

“Esports is an exciting space and continues to be a growing priority for us,” said Dan Reed, Facebook’s head of global sports partnerships. “With over 1.6 billion people on the platform and a growing suite of VOD and live-streaming products that partners can use to increase engagement, Facebook is uniquely positioned to help eSports fans connect around exciting moments and great eSports content.”

Activision acquired Major League Gaming, one of the biggest eSports leagues, in January. On Thursday, MLG.tv showed off its “Enhanced Viewing Experience,” an HD video stream with an algorithmic feed of match statistics, up-to-the-minute leaderboards and insights based on the competition they are watching.

The company also announced Chris Puckett, a broadcast veteran and retired pro gamer, as MLG.tv’s new host. Puckett’s daily “ESR” broadcast will feature highlights, interviews and news segments covering the eSports.
“We’re building a network dedicated to the thrill of competition and the passion of the fans,” said Bornstein. “MLG.tv will play a defining role in realizing the full potential of this audience by creating meaningful, memorable and shareable content.”

We all know Cleveland tops Columbus especially after the republicans burn this motherfucker down in July or whatever's left after the cavs fan get done with the city in June.

I can't even pass the second/third (I forget) Freerun mission. :negative:

V V V - I watched the replay from his POV; the dude was pure revenge pubby.
There was a stretch where he died ten times in a row; eight of which were by me. :smug:
Teabagged my corpse when he finally got me with his bullshit dual Marshals.
Then Toast made him have a nice day cause he wasn't loving paying attention.

I love this game.

I think, by far, the most amusing aspect of this screen grab is you - of all people - telling him to work on anger management.

Bravo, Macys. Bravo.
