I just got this game tonight and it is so laggy it's unplayable. Is it because my ps4 is on wifi or does the game just do this sometimes?

Sometimes it just does it. But to the point where it's unplayable is rare. Make sure your NAT is open to the game.

Sitting at the gas station filling up before work and I see some kid, can't be older than 6, flailing about trying to do the taunts from Blops. Particularly Swerve and Dab. I didn't care for the taunt before but now that I've seen a kid flop around in such a spastic manner I approve.

A summary guide to sniping (PC)

1. Drakon: long-range, scope in and tap fire button. mid-close range, spam the fire button and maybe scope in at some point.
2. Locus: if you are a practised quickscoper you can do that with this rifle, otherwise you will have to snipe
3. P-06: practise with the delay, once you get used to it you can now use the rifle the best way which is to fire then scope in - this gives you aiming speed of hipfiring with the accuracy of a quickscope and is ridiculously good
4. SVG: this is the actual sniper rifle but it compensates by sounding loving incredible when fired.

Advanced players - once you unlock the ELO just use every single one of them as an assault rifle.

In addition, the difference between a mouse sniper and a pad user is far, far greater than that of any of the other weapon classes.
The best upgrade to sniping on console Call of Duty is a mouse and keyboard.

I stand by my opinion that you should only snipe against crap players (unless you own a mouse).

Being able to use a keyboard and mouse kind of irritates me.

One of the reasons I liked console FPS gaming is because I was never good with mouse/KB controls and I liked that everyone was essentially equal using the console controllers. Sure, you could change the sensitivity and perhaps the button layout, but you still had the same device was in everyones hands.

i guarantee you there are people a lot sicker than this who play on pad, it's just that there aren't very many videos of them:

Enh, I don't have ADHD or a free ritalin prescription, and I'm not paid to try. Also, I refuse to quickscope on principal. I will not contribute to Robert Bowling's worldview at any and all costs.

To be honest, it could go either way. The number of parents who I've sold a copy of CoD or GTA to, then they've turned around and given it to their knee-high brat isn't even worth counting anymore.

You can't really refute solid gameplay videos showing good kdr and team play with a collection of some guy's greatest hits.

Like, he has a lot of good advice on how to play with a locus (and his advice is very locus specific), but it's literally over the same streak footage shown in the third video - it's not on top of a full game where he's crushing the poo poo out of the opposition calling out enemy positions and share packaging.

I don't mind if they cherry pick their battles, but show the entire footage.
Games aren't won in a series of highlight reels; there's a lot of stuff that happens in the meantime, and how you react to it matters.
Context is very important to me. My videos are with goons, starring goons, and for goons. And gently caress anybody who hasn't paid :10bux:.

For what it's worth, you are still bound to the games settings for the most part when you do use kb/m. It really is more of a comfort thing.

90% this, I will say KB+M gives an edge in going from precision aiming to quick turning though.

This is highly important too. The best part of playing with goons is that because you paid your :10bux: you are no longer a pubby scrub regardless of KD
