Honestly what I'd really like to see is a global nerf to sprintout scaled by weapon type and Quickdraw/ADS time. I'm sure Javes would disagree on the latter.

Fast sprintout on all guns + faster than BO3 Quickdraw ADS time + faster player upload rate than other cods = you can run around a corner at full sprint and kill the guy waiting for you already ADS.

There are arguments for it - it gives both players a fighting chance in a sudden face to face encounter, and it gives ground based players (plebs) a chance against people who go around corners 20 feet in the air (with a scuf like god intended).

But I really dislike how lovely it makes defending areas, and it's the source of a lot of the 'shoot first die first' deaths that feel like bullshit (there's a few other contributing factors there - if your net is bad or you're not near a major server cluster, all bets are off, and if you're a habitual NV4 user, you ARE going to get dumpstered by certain SMGs and other weapons at short range).

We'll see what they do, weapons are mostly in a good place now so I'm not expecting a lot of changes. Some tweaks to smgs, snipers and pump shotties maybe?

On an unrelated but hilarious note, they mentioned they're 'buffing' camos with the dlc patch at the end of the month. That crap was clearly dumped into the supply drop market with no real prep, whether because supply drop numbers were down, or because the supply drop key cheat was massively widespread. Either way they're stupendously mega awful, so any change would be an improvement.

I don't think sprint out matters to Javes, when he never touches the ground to kill people. :ironicat:

It'll also just make that Merc ability that treats all weapons like SMGs more powerful.

Nah that's just movement speed. Currently almost* all the guns already have the same sprintout speed, it's why idiots can sprint into you with an AR or LMG and kill you even if you were preaiming (or sometimes loving prefiring) a corner.

Scaling sprintout to weapon type and slowing ads time would give an edge to the prepared player in face to face encounters, and penalize people who sprint straight into the open or into gunfights.

It would give something of an edge to people who round corners in the air already ADS, but frankly anyone using a scuf/elite or even bumper jumper and using movement aggressively already have an edge.

The overall time differences aren't huge across the board from BO3->IW, but there are some notable exceptions. One of the most notable I can think of is the normal sprintout time in IW (150ms) + the ADS time of an AR with Quickdraw (125ms) is 275ms... that's less than the sprintout of an LMG in BO3.

Now that's no Fast Hands/GH in BO3, and it's an LMG, but christ. Figure 50-100ms of netlag, 100ms of engine lag, you have maybe a 75-125ms edge over a dude who sprints right into you. That's not much of an edge! It's why you so often finish a fight with three hitmarkers on you, nearly dead, because you literally won the fight by a cats asshair.

fwiw, it was even easier to dumpster on people in BO3 jumping around corners like a maniac, and that'd be true here too if they changed it, but that is right and proper :colbert:

(*Sleeper gun of IW is Mauler, with Hollow Point and either faster ADS or better hipfire variant +laser sight and gungho. Super fast sprintout with either super fast ads or super tight hipfire, kills about as fast as the Kbar but with way more ammo, crazy weapon)

Slight increase to Quick Draw speed with snipers

MacTav-45: Increased ADS aim assist range to 1500 inches

Shotguns: Increased hip and ADS aim assist ranges to 600 inches matching the max damage range

Also slight howitzer buff, small R3K accuracy bump when zoomed with VMC, and some funny bonus assist point buffs to black hole grenades and seeker grenades.

Hahaha. They loving broke cryo mines, too. Now you get hitmarkers when you stick them to wall runs instead of kills. Yes, the otherwise completely lovely cryo mine is OP. I think at this point if you step on it, it politely asks if you'd like some ice in your drink.

The difference in consistency of netcode between matches is literally night and day. Even three barred (yes, it actually shows less than four bars!), I was still having better results than that broken loving garbage made by a fourth tier dev that deserves to be shutdown known as Infinite Warfare.

I love how launchers in this game have been nerfed in every single patch to make sure the playerbase never uses them for anything except destroying streaks, with a blast radius barely larger than melee range now.

Every update from :iw: is just one more reason to stop playing their game.

You'll probably be fine because there is an edition of BO3 with DLC1 included, and IIRC it became the promoted edition halfway through the life cycle.
