But still, Drop Zone looks hella good.

More time after sprinting before you can fire (presumably scaled by weapon class so lmgs are slow and smgs faster)

Basically more penalty for running around corners like an idiot. Gives you an edge if you're walking or already ads.

Doesn't do anything against aerial scuf jumping heroes, and they didn't touch the fast ads times, but it may slightly reduce the odds of dying to pubbies sprinting into you with NV4s.

Fun fact: Modern Warfare Remastered right now has a "Weekend Warrior" playlist that is just Gun Game With Launchers.

I've only seen one guy's video on the mode and I can confirm that it's noob tubes all day, with RPG and Gravedigger shoehorned in.

Sprint-out time changes: SMGs, shotguns and pistols remain unchanged at 83ms. ARs are now at 167ms, and LMGs are now at 217ms. Gung-Ho is now worth using since AR and LMG SOT is now reduced to 33ms with that perk.

Don't pump actions have sniper multipliers for shots? I know the Rack-9 Smoothbore NEEDS upper chest and head shots to be effective.

Also Reaver is Brecci, DCM-8 is a shittier Haymaker, et cetera. Those could use Stock as well as Gung-Ho.

XboxAhoy did always have some garbage perk recommendations but it makes at least for a more interesting class than some variant of Ghost/Sleight of Hand/Ninja over and over.

Everytime I think of Ahoy, all I hear is the dulcet tone of "C Zed 75".

After playing this weekend, I now feel that SMGs are viable. I'd say that the Erad is A tier now, and the Karma and UMP are now B tier. Yet I still can't use the HVR. I hate the default optics, the magazine size isn't quite enough, and the recoil is just too random compared to the other subs.

Drift0r defended Tmartn when his csgo scamming scheme was found out and he's been caught taking money from activision to promote the serie, saying jackshit about it. He's an opportunist and the cod gravy train is running out, he couldn't straight up say that so he came up with an excuse that IW is simply bad.

If you want a youtuber that does decent indepths for current cod I recommend this guy https://www.youtube.com/user/TheXclusiveAce/featured he's solid and provides decent info about the proper range each guns are their best in.

Appart from that I've been using the type 2 for longer ranges and had a decent time, I'm gonna unlock the M1 soon and see how it stacks up. As for the HVR I'm trying to get Wraith mission team to level 30 so I can get the Carnage variant that extends the range on it. Want to see if I can turn it into a decent 3 hit kill smg.

I'll pull a good M1 image, one sec



I'm sorry pubbies, is your NV4 not working to dislodge me from my camping spot?? :ohdear:

Almost every one of those defends came in the second half, when I switched to the M1 and decided to camp B until we won.

(oh and naturally, the clan guys stayed and switched to the M1 in the next match :haw:)

I don't love the M1 unfortunately; among the semi auto options of the DMR (awful handling) or Goliath (mediocre performance), it's probably the best, but the no reload thing is a real pain, and the rof is low enough that very good players can dodge you with fast movement (and sometimes a strafing dude will just go between all your shots, good times).

Best two shot gun is still the Mammoth imo.

That's a good option, I have the mammoth but the recoil just murders me, Idk if there's any trick to it. It does appear to have a higher fire rate than any other semi-auto option tho.

Right now my goal is to refine a NV4 counter build so I can force pubbies to switch. Also I'm starting to see more and more pubs use the UMP and I'm afraid it will become the new cancerous gun.


Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dII5DL04Eqg The turtle is the best tactic there ever was.

Honestly with the changes to sprintout and aim assist, I'm seeing a lot more subs, and that alone is going to act to make NV4s shittier by default. When ~normies~ who stay on the ground run into each other, the guy with the smg now has a marked edge over the typical NV4 user. If that keeps happening enough, they'll start switching off the NV4.

The NV4 will remain a really easy to use gun that's quite strong at mid/long range, but given that there are now other good strong options that can poo poo on it more reliably at shorter distances, that doesn't bother me quite as much.

(I'll still get salty dying to hipfired NV4s, and gently caress the Fallout, tying nukes to specific variants and having the only easy to use variant being the NV4 early kinda poisoned the well from the getgo).

Worst downside of the changes: I'm now running into FHRs, RPRs and HVRs, and all three of those dumpster you in sudden f2f encounters :eng99:

I wouldn't sweat the UMP, it has a mediocre killtime up close. It's real strength is being a mobile gun that can fight reliably suppressed at greater ranges than most of the other subs, its basically the reverse of the OSA.
