It's a long story

MF_James posted:

ehh I finished damascus recently, but I've been playing since the beginning.

I had 90% of it done just by playing, the only things that took any effort were mount/no attachment kills and then launcher/shield/knife; mount/no attach I started doing while leveling guns a while ago so it wasn't bad.

Launchers are a bitch and took actual concerted effort to gold, shield isn't bad because someone will be nice and feed you kills, knife is fairly easy.

Damascus just requires you to gold every base gun, not every gun in the game.

Knife was the very first thing I turned gold. I got the sticks and sword pretty quickly as well but I'm never going to get around to doing the shield.

If you run around with a shield and no kills long enough, sbmm kicks in and it starts getting easier. I was stuck for a long time on launchers cause my teammates kept kill stealing my killstreaks, I still throw care package markers where the other team can pick them up easier without thinking.

Does anyone else run dual LMGs in CW multiplayer? I did it on a whim, and I'm having a blast. Also, it's fun to blast attack helis and spy planes out of the sky with them and still have enough ammo in the same mag to take down a couple guys.

Oops, meant to post this in the other thread.

Btw, is MW multiplayer still pretty active on PC? I was thinking about giving it a try.

It is good. Not as good as the Kar, but still quite good and very fun.

And yes, I showed an impressive level of patience for myself on both parts of that encounter. I'm usually big on running in and dying.

Fair, sorry. :v: Cheating discussions tend to get heated and I've definitely seen people completely seriously claim that kind of thing.

But yeah, it would be nice if we could somehow marry crossplay with the general lack of cheating on console games. Or if people just, you know, didn't suck.

Or Activision could, y'know, shell out a few dollars for a good anticheat program. Apex, Fortnite, and Overwatch are all popular FTP shooters/BR's that have very good anticheat and don't suffer nearly as much from "got headshot literally across the map by a guy who couldn't even see me" poo poo you see all the time in WZ.

I'm a sub 1.0 k/d WZ player, so it's pretty easy to spot a cheater when a person on a brand new account is quadrupling the second place kill count with long shots from across the map with pistols.

The way SBMM works, assuming your squads KD is actually below 1, you shouldn't run into cheaters very often. If your KD is <.7 the only time you should run into them often. When you do it's because their accounts are new and they haven't been kicked up the MM chain, but that period generally lasts less than 5 matches for the cheater before they get adjusted.

If your KD is over 1.2ish, you'll run into them every now and then because you'll get put into the higher MM tiers sometimes.

If your KD is over 1.5, it's likely you're gonna run into cheaters quite regularly because you've crossed the threshold where you're regularly going to be in very sweaty lobbies.

The thing is the only cheaters youll ever confirm are the bad ones. You'll never be able to tell a good cheater apart from a good player. There are signs, but the cheats are so sophisticated if it's a decent player using them you'll never be sure from a killcam.

I could've sworn I saw one of my team mates spinbotting in Nuketown, but I'm not sure. Is that a thing in COD?

I find that it’s a lot easier to know if a cheater is present than determining who it is. A really dumb cheater, most of them, will wipe out a lobby pretty early turning it into a ghost town by the second circle.

Looks like whatever update just loaded has completely hosed MW multiplayer. Can’t get a single leve to load and it keeps crashing.

Yay! Time to redownload a 200 gig+ game as a fix!

i tried battlefield 5 when it was free on psn but i couldnt really get into because it seemed like the only way to do well was to hide in a bush and shoot all the other people that werent hiding in bushes. were any of the earlier ones better for a run and gun playstyle?

Yeah definitely, BFV sucked poo poo. 3/4 were amazing and had great vehicle combat as well and the destruction effects were awesome. I wasn’t a huge fan of BF1 but it was still pretty good for large scale battles. V is probably the worst of the main battlefield games tbh.

4 is free on twitch prime now as well!

That we will likely never see Battlefield 2143 while Disney is probably mandating that they don't do a competitor sci-fi Battlefield to Disney's sci-fit Battlefield makes me extremely sad.

haha yeah, same. I started with COD, realized BF was better and went over to that for years, then BF got bad and COD got good again so I switched back...Now battlefield is not great and COD is an absolute mess full of broken updates and the worst attempt I've ever seen at this unified GAAS thing.

Waiting to see if someone can tip the scales. Actually it would be nice if someone could swoop in and replace them both. Although if Titanfall 2 can't succeed, nothing aside from the big two can.

I think they do, but probably a lot slower to fill a lobby than CoD. 4 being free will probably boost this though!

Every once in a while jackfrags does a battlefield vid and you can tell he has the most fun doing that.

I think Warzone really hosed up with their map update, it’s so minimal everyone just got bored. If they don’t add some good poo poo before the late fall battlefield will just crush it.

Firestorm was such a pile of poo poo that I would not immediately give any credence to BF6 BR being good enough to draw anyone away from any of the big ones but we'll see I suppose.

Very true. Their main fuckup was not making it f2p tho, it was kinda cool in some ways. They had to have learned from that right?! (Lol)

Also WW2 limits the fun skins and stuff you can do unless it gets really weird (which I am fine with)

It had cool stuff but it was just inherently flawed in a lot of ways. I am curious if they'll do more armed vehicles in a more modern setting. Vehicles are part of that BF DNA but it'd suck to have final circles come down to "Did you get a tank and cover it in trophy systems?"
