anybody who buys a next-gen console for another COD reskin made on the Quake 3 engine is going to feel stupid as absolute gently caress

If there's anything that's going to get me to buy a nextgen console when I already have a strong PC, it's going to be a COD reskin made on the Quake 3 engine. Hopefully PS4 support is forthcoming with the XIM4 http://xim4.com/community/index.php?topic=3819.msg411330#msg411330

Real world WHAT?
I don't remember Cod, but Battlefield 4 went as far as removing or nerfing[1] kill trades, that is if you shoot at an enemy and died, your shots would magically disappear in flight and not hit your killer.

[1] which for some BF4 commentators meant Dice probably powered them up

DICE managed to patch kill trades back in with Naval Strike or whatever shortly after they (FINALLY) mostly removed them

From what I've seen, I'm not enthused by the Exo Suit stuff. Enemies being able to throw up a shield or turn invisible turns me off. I also am not thrilled with what looks like a good bit of jumping, and it being kind of an imitation of Titanfall in that regard. That being said, I'm much more enthused for this game than I expected.

Is there somewhere to watch a recording of the presentation now that I have time to watch it? Never mind. VOD was just posted.

I'm looking forward to using additional movement options against clueless pubbies. Also I doubt cloak is complete invisibility, at most it's gotta be something like the effectiveness of cloaking against pilots in Titanfall (not very). Then again :iw:

A bunch of people on reddit have admitted to running around big box stores and writing down the codes on the back of 11 ounce Doritos bags (45 minutes a pop).

Not paying at all is pretty efficient. You'd think Doritos would stop putting the codes on the backs of the bags.

They're just on the back of the bags? Time to pay a visit to Walmart.

On the other hand, all of the people that are streaming the game early seem to sprint and boost everywhere 100% of the time.

Then they say "WOOOOW" incredulously when they die.

It's a universal rule that everyone who gets a game early is both super bad at the game and cannot set up a decent quality stream to save their loving life.

Serious question: I have got every post MW CoD on consoles, but this year I upgraded my video card to a GTX 970. If I were to get it, should be get it on PC, or PS4. Control scheme does not matter to me (of course I like KB-M better because I am not a loving idiot, but I don't mind playing on a controller either)

Get this and play on PS4:

Have any fellow Xbox XIM4 faggots managed to get around the annoying buzz you get through your headset whenever you plug your controller in via USB? I've tried a different controller, headset adapter, batteries instead of charge pack, running through a powered USB hub... nothing solves it :(

Plug your Bone's power cable into a different outlet, and if that doesn't fix it, plug it in to a different outlet further away. I had to do this for 360.

I don't check SA for a few days and suddenly 1308 unread posts in this thread.

Anyway, so far I like it, more than I liked BO2 at this point in time after release, even though I now consider BO2 the second best COD. I picked the Ameli as my first prestige unlock, it's pretty good. I might pick the IMR or something next, as I'm coming up to prestige 2. I've found the hover ability more useful than I thought it would be. Also I swear I will find a way to make the XMGs good somehow.

So is there a way to tell of I'm loving up because lag or because I'm just hot garbage at this? I lose a lot of gun fights I feel I should of won because I'll get a ton of hit markers, but the death cam shows me whiffing shots and only hitting twice. My ping goes from 4 to 1 back and forth throughout the match. Usually sticking near 4 though.

Or should I just ignore death cam and not care?

They've finally managed to disconnect the ping bars from reality in this one. It regularly shows me as one bar yet I'm not lagging at all.

I've always got three. It's not always equipment but it's usually at least one cosmetic item, one 'game' item be it a weapon or something like 2x XP and either another cosmetic or useful drop. Guess I'm just lucky? :confused:

But having the bloodthirsty helmet crop up when opening a crate is definitely a bug. You get that for a 5 killstreak for only 30 minutes. For whatever reason.
