I was using the increasing divergence from real life and its ever increasing pace, to justify the removal of prone.

I had three prone kills in BLOPS 1 over two years of play. It's simply unnecessary.

i get mildly upset when I get drop shot in IW

starting a round of tdm and not being killed within 10 seconds by someone prone ADSing a hallway in MWR is a fantasy in my experience

I feel like an idiot when it happens because its so slow in this game, but it does still happen occasionally

It's really drat easy to miss shots, since you can easily fire between legs or arms, plus some of the models are a bit larger than the hitboxes so you can think you're on target but be off by an asshair.

Aim center mass!

Oh one thing non vets/nerds might not know - when you ADS when a gun, after about a second it starts to sway. This makes your shots pretty inaccurate once it starts. It happens slower with LMGs than ARs, but on any gun, you can reset it by releasing ADS then reaiming a split second later.

Basically don't sit in cover holding ADS, if you do, there's a good chance your shots are going to go off target on anyone at mid range or longer. Never not be jetpacking around corners and snap aiming people.

The zoomed VMC gets rid of almost all idle sway and makes your shot more accurate in general at a distance, the only two optics I bother using if I'm not doing stupid challenges are the VMC and the elo (the elo just cuz it lowers the profile of your weapon a bit).

I wonder when they'll start screwing with Modern Warfare Remastered. It's definitely the better game and if they start selling it separately it will outsell Infinite Warfare for sure.
The main thing you have to consider currently with MWR is that it's not currently a standalone product. It's something that comes with Infinite Warfare like free skin DLC or smiliar. It just happens to be a full game.

It's a sneaky way of padding their sales numbers, even if people purchasing have zero interest in IW, as I imagine in the various metrics it's technically still Infinite Warfare breaking sales records or whatever.

I'm specifically referring to weapon sway.

Speaking of, they put in holding breath and an attachment to reduce sway but made sniper rifles barely move.

I'll say from my own experience I got way into Twitch when I became a dad. My free game playing time dropped significantly, and it's a good way to keep up on games/scratch that itch when you can't play otherwise.

When there's nothing left on the DVR and nothing particularly interesting on Netflix/Amazon, Twitch is far better than just flipping channels.

Additionally, much of Twitch's audience appears to be on the younger side. People who probably can't afford all the newest games and this gives them a chance to experience them. Some of the streamers are pretty funny/enjoyable in their own right too, but that's more of a rarity. Also can't discount the fun of watching eSports/people who are far better at games that I could ever be.

I take sadistic pleasure in watching Jadestar constantly fail dice rolls in Blood Bowl 2 only to watch his opponents ragequit the second he gets two injury rolls on them, in a game I will never bother to play myself.

Think of it this way: if it was mediocre, why would you take it over something like a Warden or a THOR or even a Drone Package.

Because I can reliably get to the vulture while warden is inconsistent and never got a Thor before.

Valid point. Plus we're already gambling enough with the supply drops so yeah.

Als how do you reliably get the Vultures? Just skirt round the outside and do the ABCs of Dom?

AFAIK the mechanics of "competitive CoD" make it so that it's SMGs or die, and the OSA and KBAR are the best SMGs in the game. And I tuned into the stream for a minute and the Uplink ball got stuck in the map geometry. :iw:

I think so. A previous hardpoint on that map was crazy too. Think it was someone from Orbit wallriding above that lava area on the beams I didn't even know you could jump on and getting a triple kill.

I'm starting to put Cold Blooded and Hardwired on everything

The default classes have Personal Radar and Pin Point, and pubbies love them some default setups.

Both of those lovely things can result in 'how the gently caress did he know where I was' moments. Also I think Marked Target highlights you in bright red on the minimap for the entire enemy team, and Pin Point isn't much better when you're shooting dudes.

Not to mention all the other 'haha found you' perks and gear they protect you from.

I know the Sensor perk for rare guns does this, but I never noticed it with Marked Target. I wouldn't put it past them to omit such a major detail, of course, but I don't think it's true.

If people aren't throwing themselves off the map during the post-match slow motion, I don't know what to say to help. :colbert:

As a aside, it's annoying as poo poo to be one kill away from completing a challenge and managing to get it during the slow-mo where it doesn't count. :(

I got it. Run Marked Target/Cold Blooded/Hardwired/Silenced NV4 (preferrably Flatline but eh whatever works). Boom, you're now part of the meta.
