They sell paddles you can just attach to your controller at Walmart. I'm thinking of trying them.

Because Grenades Are Dumb (tm), I decided to try remapping L1/R1 to Square/Triangle, so I have access to reload and weapon switch/mode switch/sight switch on bumpers instead of buttons. It's... pretty cool. Taking some time to rewire my brain from years of hardwired muscle memory, but it feels pretty fluid when there's no thought involved and thumbs don't need to move at all to touch face buttons ever. One ever so slight problem though... it makes rig abilities mashing triangle+square :| Not so big of a deal for stupid weapon payloads, but I don't use those anyway, and I fear it'll make Rewind less of a nuke-getter because of the slightly added delay. Well, that and making the menus a bit confusing Gonna leave it this way for a week or so though, digging it so far. Just the convenience of swapping the VMC sight while ads or changing rpr/type2 quickly is really nice.

I'm in warranty so I'm sending it back, but I also just bought a battle beaver, so I'll try that out when it arrives. For now I'm playing bumper jumper which isn't too terrible.

I'd call them more of a luxury item given that the activation point on the DS4 triggers is really low, and there aren't any high fire cap semi-autos worth using in IW, but drat they're nice. Much better than playing flipped.

I had two more of those 'everyone on the enemy team hates me because I'm sniping' matches last night. Literally three people in the party on the other team switched to snipers between matches. Then they quit and pulled the four man party out when I kept killing them  I don't understand peoples reaction to using a shotgun/sniper. They switch to a shotgun/sniper like I'm going to... what, get mad? Buddy I'm a lovely sniper (and you're a lovely shotgunner).

XIM has a OSX firmware update tool now, thank gently caress. And I don't think I'll ever get a nuke. Best I've done is 20-22 a few times but that's with a Bomber or some other broken gun. Even on trash lobbies I can't keep up with the spawns (especially when we're crushing a team) and eventually someone pops me from behind. I'll set up a class just in case we have a particularly bad lobby but whatever I got my space dog. Speaking of, what does everyone run for their nuke class?

I'd be tempted to say add scavenger on any other nuke guns, but with the NV4-Fallout I think most pubs are using the NV4 anyway so its free ammo laying around.

Well that makes complete sense since it's absolutely logical to have quick draw, akimbo and a sight on your guns in this game.

Space dog achieved this morning. One of you! One of you! Edit: Revo - I checked out Battle Beaver to price out what my controller would have cost from them and, unsurprisingly, it's about the same. I did the four back buttons with remap, trigger stops, etc and have grip on the controller, so I went a little hog wild. My Cinch is in build now, so I'm hoping to get it next week! housefly fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Jan 5, 2017 |

I finally finished the campaign. They had me right up until the bad guy with the beacon got rescued by a platoon of his own guys that knew he was being moved and then magically showed up in force all over the place in the city the good guys had just fortified. After the good guys captured Jon Snow's mothership, it seemed like they were just trying to shoehorn in the suicide mission stuff.

After the good guys captured Jon Snow's mothership, it seemed like they were just trying to shoehorn in the suicide mission stuff. Agreed. Gameplay wise it was all really fun; storming the space elevator and stuff was neat. But plot wise it was just pure nonsense. How'd the unarmored guy ambush the heavily armed and armored protagonist so he could have enough time to cut out the transponder? That whole plot point was silly. All the heroic deaths were weak too, and really telegraphed. Honestly, if in the next game neither you nor your buddies die I will be legit surprised. Campaign was really fun overall. Weapons feel good, killin' Mars facists was a hoot. I actually really enjoyed the space combat sequences, although missiles were pretty much useless because of enemy countermeasures. Titanfall 2 had an overall more memorable experience, but I think this one was meatier, I guess I want to say. I'll play through some of those ship assault missions again, definitely. Maybe IW shouldn't let the voice actor of their protagonist write their games. Reyes was a total doofus but the writing was completely unaware. Why didn't we play as Salt? That would have been cool. I mean, it's COD. It's guaranteed to make hundreds of millions of dollars, so you might as well take the chance and give us a sickass lady protag by this point. Reyes was so boring

Reyes being unaware of how doofy he sounds at any given point is part of the charm, and I'll take it because it makes the rest of the character dialogue immediately recognizable as Good Stuff. Since the entire story is basically a self-contained and drawn out epiphany to Reyes that he is, in fact, doofy and bad at leading people, I think it fits even better. Things to improve on: - Lol one loving day are you making GBS threads me IW. Those cruisers don't get built in two days; Earth is hosed. - Badass female lead please. - The correct answer to "how do I destroy this walking tank" is not "jump on its shoulder and tear its guns off with your bare hands". It's okay to do it once, it's not okay to do it four times. - Side missions really should not be optional. Since they are, nothing important can actually happen during them, and there is no danger except a loading screen. Plus, if they're not optional you can do cool intros and outtros to them instead of "Hey all the bad guys are dead, yay!" fade to black. Things that were actually good: - Almost all of the dialogue. - Weapons were cool and good, and having different weapons be good against different enemies is also cool and good, within reason. - Side Missions were fun, if a bit repetitive. - Space fights were awesome I really enjoyed this one, and am really annoyed that apparently this is the one that ended up not performing well after years of future- and modern-based games.

I wish the singleplayer was just Reyes and Ethan going on goofy space adventures. Ethan added some much needed comic relief for a series that is way too serious.
