Thanks for the blops games tonight. It was really weird going back to blops movement after like a solid 2 months with Titanfall 2 but the game is still decent.

Sharing clips from PS4 surprisingly painless. It took me a bit to find where the hell the clips were saved at though. Here's a sloppy flamethrower quad kill as I panicked spraying wildly around the room.

Reminded me how fun the Purifier class can be, here's probably my best Purifier clip from a while back. Those were the days, absolutely hating Safeguard and doing everything possible to avoid going into overtime and playing another 20 minutes. :shepicide:

I find it funny that MWR keeps a record of your medals but IW doesn't.

Also, I unlocked a Mark II gun in a common box earlier. Good news: it doesn't replace the same variant of the gun if you had it unlocked already. Get ready to have to scroll through a million variants to get to the one you actually want while setting up classes.

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to double the ammount of variant with useless copycats. I hated getting dupes but now we're not only getting them in a mk2 variant, but we're not even getting salvage.

In a game where Salvage is already difficult to get. Where getting the Epic variant required 4k of it, or 7000+ if you need to buy all variants before it.

I like the game itself but this is loving terrible. They may have gotten worst than AW now.

Also great games last night, hope we can play some more Blops 3 in the following days.

Also they dumped almost 700+ items and it's still just January. There's almost 10 months left in this game cycle. I can't even imagine the metric ton of poo poo they're going to flood the supply drops with in the upcoming months.

Like, even if they make it so you don't get duplicates (which fucks you over from getting salvage) on common (and let's say rare too to be "nice") items and you only open common boxes you won't be able to keep up with the rate at which they're adding poo poo.

I genuinely cannot comprehend what the gently caress the reasoning is for this but it's quickly soured the game for me. Which is a shame because I find the gunplay in this SO MUCH BETTER than BLOPS3.

That's going to be the last straw for a lot of people who put up with the variant poo poo. This is blatantly terrible and I don't see them backing out of it.

Here in America I have no such issues but I feel ya. I don't know, I love the movement, the gunplay, even the rigs. Like this is easily my favorite COD in a long rear end while... if you overlook the supply box fiasco which honestly I can't anymore. Not at the rate it's going.

BLOPS3 always felt like I died way faster. It wasn't even a shoot first die first. It was a I'm instantly dead welp. Not to mention some of the specialist weapons will forever be too loving good.

But I genuinely love the silly taunts and dances and engineer re-rolling so I'll probably give BLOPS3 another fair shot in the next few days. My girlfriend is around for another week but she has Pokémon to keep busy.

Infinite Warfare is drastically missing revenue targets, so Activision has decided they're gonna shake down the whales for every last penny. Hell, we might even get MWR standalone at this rate.

An exercise for everyone: imagine the salt when the ACR and Ameli become supply-drop only guns. :discourse:

As far as the salvage/variant stuff goes I can't bring myself to give a poo poo. I never paid for a box and never will and if I happen to get something nifty out of one, great. If not I can still keep shooting mans with base guns or the few variants I've managed to collect. The problem is that all the reddit folk who are going to collapse in a screaming fit about the variants and camos will still keep blowing thousands of dollars on boxes therefore rewarding Activision for its lovely business model. Like that ancient screencap of all the PC people who were gonna boycott MW2 and they were all playing it.

I don't have any particular loyalty to the CoD franchise, there just isn't another game that feels as good to me about shooting the mans so I keep playing it. If something else comes along that hits that sweet spot and y'all will play it I'll drop CoD in a hot minute.

Latest Update - MkII weapons drop self.Infinitewarfare
Submitted 6 minutes ago by IW_EricEric Monacelli

Been seeing these concerns pop up quite a bit so wanted to post this in place for everyone to see.
Since our latest update, we've seen concerns, like this one, expressed regarding how the addition of so much new content will affect your content chances in supply drops. We appreciate your feedback and would like to clear up some concerns about how our loot system works.
Since the latest update...
- Players have the same chance to get a weapon out of a supply drop as they did before.
- Players have the same chance of getting a rare, legendary, or epic out of a supply drop as they did before.
- The player’s chance of getting a specific weapon from a supply drop was not demonstratively affected addition of MkII weapons.
- The addition of all this new content means fewer duplicates from supply drops. We understand that some players are concerned about how this affects their ability to earn salvage. Rest assured, we have plans, and are working on additional plans, to introduce new ways to earn salvage in the future.

Hopefully this puts some of your concerns at ease. Thank you for your support. Keep the dialogue going.

Soooo.... not a whole lot but it does indicate (assumes?) that boxes roll for a type of item (weapon, camo, accessory), then rolls within that type for the rarity. Which is still poo poo all things considered given how much poo poo there is to roll.

Weapons types now have ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE different camos to roll. 123!!!

They should've introduced those loving "plans" to allow players to get more salvage BEFORE rolling this patch. The gently caress are they thinking.

Salvage needs to be changed so that you earn some every match. gently caress it if it's only 10-15, better than poo poo they have now. That'd be 200 matches to craft a rare variant.

I'll jump on if anyone gets a party going in IW, but activision needs to learn this is not acceptable. I doubt they ever will at this point, I'll even go as far as saying they'll lose even more money than before due to this obvious cashgrab.

As the Zombies community would say, "temporal displacement" is why we get poo poo like holo sights and ACRs and Amelis in what is supposed to be MW1 times.

Blu-Resin is more of a pastel blue, and has a subtle lined texture. That looks like someone took an untextured square of (0,0,255) blue and called it a day.

after reading about what the gently caress is going on with IW, I am so glad I punched out on that poo poo after playing it the first 2-3 days with it's poo poo netcode.

The fact that anyone who did that glitch was able to keep all their epic guns and poo poo would be enough for me to stay away from it now, the fact that they added those lazy rear end camos is just amazingly lovely compared to the BLOPS3 system
