The TTK is nuts. That was the one thing that stuck with me from playing for a few hours last night. That and it was really laggy. Those two things combined made the game very frustrating to play.

I realized that I might be getting to the point that being frustrated by video games isn't worth it. I'm on the fence about cancelling my pre-order and just playing BF1 this year. That game is smooth and fun as gently caress. Even when I die, it doesn't frustrate me and make me want to stop playing.

Maybe I'm just getting old.

Oh, All-Knowing One, behold me!
Made my first Shadowplay clip with my first fun Shadowclaw run! Also discovered that by default the mic is always on so this is the only usable footage that doesn't have a whiny sigh because a bad guy shot me before I shot them. I didn't think I sounded that much like a weenie when I played this game until I heard my own voice played back at me.

It just feels like you die faster at times when you have a bad connection or laggy players. The hit detection in this game is actually way better then BO3's. The only people that seem to kill me too fast are the people skipping all over the screen, but they're a second ahead of me so there's nothing I can do there.

Alright hoping this week they've actually made the netcode better (they won't) I'm done with my friday stuff so I'll be on all day to play some IW. PSN Id is BobBaudoin.

Who am I kidding, even if the netcode is poo poo, I preordered the MWR edition I'm the problem :smith:

It's all over the place, and that's what annoys me. In one game I go 30-5 and beast people, and then the next with the same players I am getting hit and seeing red on my screen BEFORE THE ENEMY EVEN COMES AROUND THE CORNER.

"It's beta" is all well and good, but if it's like this at release I'll just play BF1 until they get their poo poo together.

I've had 1 situation so far where the Steel Dragon was great. Taking B on Frozen when 3-4 were laying there and I got the flank. Any gun would have worked, but it was fun to see the amount of lazer hit markers.

Snipers are OBSCENE in this game. There is a very fine line for snper rifles and this game currently needs to figure it out. If they fix the flinching when hit or not allow people to run/slide with them accurately it would fix problems.

Also, not sure if this was a PS4 thing, but every 5-6 games I run into an account where someone is doing nothing but jumping in the air, 360 and blindshotting for a SiCkKiLL. I don't remember seeing it nearly as often on xboner.

The TTK is pretty insane, though I've had the reverse experience - in IW whenever I die I get it, mostly, but I am a bit frustrated. In BF1 I rarely ever see who is shooting me and it's just tanks up the rear end and SMLE/Martini spam.

I don't think I've ever had a problem with sniper rifles in COD like this. Normally they're annoying but in this game every leg shot seems to be a kill.

I've seen one guy doing that. he was something like 1 - 19 at the start of a round and he eventually quit when he didn't get a single ~sick 360 noscope kill~ Also what's the boost slide move you can do? It's not the sprinting slide. I was just crouched behind something and pressed something and suddenly I did a crouched boost backwards and had no idea what happened.

The robot's third trait gives it a horizontal dash that can go in any direction, Advanced Warfare style. Maybe that was it?

BLOPS 1 originally did it by making it hip-fire until fully zoomed in, with an instant of pure black between the transition.

Then they got complaints from the worst forms of human life, caved, and put it back in.

Speaking of the robot, you ever see a flyin' dog?

Even if the flying dog glitch got patched, still. Dog with instakill that regains health on kill.

They don't release translators for betas. You can usually expect them to be available about a week after the games official launch.

Yeah, I remember that, just like I remember pretending to be a corpse using Cold Blooded and a decoy grenade.

It's not super bad in this game as far as I can tell because of the already low TTK, but since this is a new beta there is just a massive influx of quick-scopers content to lose games and maintain a 0.8-or-below KDR.

I've been using the BO3 ST profile and lowered the sensitivity to my liking, don't forget the golden rule that Hip is always twice the ADS sensitivity! I rock something like 20 hip, 12 ads.

Works great so far, however for akimbos you're gonna have to remove the ADS toggle, it speeds up the aiming for some reason.

Comedic effect aside, the camos in this game are atrocious.

The weapon customization is a step down from Blops 3 (though I'm glad that'll exclude variants from supply drops), and Awareness not being a perk plus Ghost going back to normal has me really worried.

Awareness is the final trait of the Predator-lookin' rig. And actually, since you can switch your combat rig/payload/trait mid-game, you'd essentially be able to equip it as-needed.

Oh, that's good to know. I wasn't able to check out the last two rigs and I didn't quite look at FTL's stuff once I got it unlocked.

The game is so fast right now I honestly don't need it but coming off of Blops 3 where I was almost handicapped without it feels strange.
