AhChaChaCha, here's some info on that poo poo I was talking about

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Mechanical_Turk

Here is my overview where you can see my $ break down

http://imgur.com/c8lcN0F

And here is the break down per day since I started, I still have a lot pending for the last few days but they should all go through.

http://imgur.com/qHdnjko

And this is today's breakdown per requester (the people who pay me) as you can see my highest paying hit was $5, the real money is in "batch" work. That top requester is the one I mentioned I got a "closed qual" for so only limited people can do them, and even so they still go really quick when they post.

More people have netcode issues with it than Blops, anecdotally there are more sweaty lobbies, and the NV4 and RAW still define the metagame pretty strongly.

Don't forget Synaptic! Rewind is one of the best supers in the game, with a still quick charge time, a free reload and extra ammo, partial health regen and it's a get out of jail free card. Propulsion fundamentally changes the way you can play the game and it can turn CoD into the "twitch shooter" that so many think it is. And while the hitbox is the same as other characters, the model being visually smaller can really screw with your mind if Synaptic is on a headglitch, or you feel like you have a smaller target to shoot at when they're in the air.

No other character comes close to the 3 powers that Synaptic has here. I really can't be bothered to put up with this poo poo when I have so many other good games to play.

Hey hope everyone is doing well.

Just popped on PSN to make sure my PS4 has enough space for Injustice 2 tomorrow and see that literally everybody is playing Blops 3 right now. What the gently caress happened to IW?

Last night was weird in that it was the first night in a drat long while that everyone was on at the same time.

IW is still a better game but I gotta go to where the goons are.

Pretty much. Battlegrounds is really fun, by the way. Sometimes you live for half an hour and sometimes you get punched out by a naked guy ten seconds in. Still preferable to IW during launch week.

Those of us without a PC and continue enjoying the good call of duty game known as Infinite Warfare.

(Real talk: i genuinely feel like I'm in bizarro land because IW plays perfectly for me. No connection issues (once in-game) whatsoever, the TTK feels beyond generous and I loving love all the guns I've gotten so far. I rarely if ever feel or get hit by lag and i constantly dominate lobbies and generally have a drat good time. Meanwhile in BLOPS3 I feel like the TTK is way too loving fast and unforgiving and I've only gotten 1 ranged weapon from crates in the 1.5 years I've played it.)

Yeah the game plays perfect for me. IW feels tailor-made for me(<3 Synaptic) and I'll be sad if this is the last advanced movement CoD for the foreseeable future. Can someone post a video of a match of this unplayable netcode? I'm not doubting your experience, I'm more curious to see what it looks from your perspective.

The marketing is silly but everyone who uses them swears by them. I should use them but like a baseball pitcher obsessed with his pre-game rituals, I do not want to screw up my already pretty good shot.

Backpacking sounds like a combination of Stryker's Hardened trait and Centurion payload. Did the pubby use a pink OSA or Trencher since it also has a grenade launcher?

Nah, he was running Micro Turret and Hardened, and neither OSA or Orange Trencher. poo poo was just fuckin' stupid, I tell you as a person who kept running into his mines.

Made me consider running Hard Wired ENGINEER to deal with it. He might have also had a Dome Shield, too.

Basically, the worst of Dom opponents was who we fought. And by worst I mean loving annoying.

It's a synonym for "carry", i.e. put the team up on your back like a backpack.

I'd consider it entertaining to play against someone who is PTFO in IW Dom with Stryker, which is definitely not a meta setup.

This is a good segue to another peeve of mine: there's a real lack of diversity in successful high-level playstyles in IW because Synaptic is so much better that it feels like you're being punished for not running Synaptic. In BO3, at least MLG wannabes felt compelled to pull out an M8 on larger maps and even the ideal setups had a significant flaw or 2. Plus within our group there's Macys with his turtle-like gameplay, me and tek with a more traditional AR playstyle, and Javes and revo flying around with a VMP. To counter a proficient Synaptic you can maybe try to slow the game way down with a RAW and Merc/Man-at-Arms, but other than that, you can only counter by playing with Synaptic yourself.

You're thinking of Cold Blooded. And no one uses it because they probably believe Ghost will carry their rear end hard.
