It's fun to set up a game where it's a bunch of bots v. you and then you goof off with ridiculous classes. Or if your SO/little brother/charity case wants to play but you don't want to carry them.

So I'd say you guys are the experts, what was the difference that made Ghost so poo poo and its predecessors less poo poo? What did Ghosts change that broke everything?

Giant maps with no Ground War in past-gen, lackluster scorestreaks, nerfing C4 and shield because of the ~*~MLG community~*~

I know some of you guys loved it, but when it comes to dominate the metagame, and you need to keep a specific build to combat it, it's appropriate to nerf it. Your mileage, etc.

It was the only kind of fun thing in an otherwise bland game; once they did away with it, what little luster had remained was gone. I get the need to keep the game balanced, but it's still an accurate answer to the question.

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"

After playing for a few hours last night, I'm cautiously optimistic. The exo movements are fantastic, and right now no one is expecting you to drop onto their face out of the sky so you've got an upper hand in that regard for the time being. The TTK feels pretty much like Call of Duty, though there have been a handful of times where I've stopped firing because I thought the guy was dead only to have him ice me shortly thereafter. Maps seem to be sized right and don't feel like giant empty boxes like Ghosts, though I think I've only played 4 or 5 of them. Hopefully this game is fun because it's actually fun, and not just because of the newness.

Oh, one thing I have noticed that's kinda annoying: I bought the chat adapter a few days ago to use with my old 360 Turtle Beaches, and the chat and game sound seem to be mixed together so I can't adjust their volume separately. Is this just a general XBOne issue or is it tied directly to COD? It's annoying to try to make out what people are saying in-game, and you miss out on death mics if you're in party chat. :smith:

If I recall correctly, this is what I read and followed to allow my mixamp to handle the game and chat volumes separately, but that was a while ago, so I don't really remember.

Awesome, I'll give that a try tonight. Thanks!

Which headset are you trying to get to work? I'm gonna try those steps too and see if I can finagle something.

I snagged X42s used hoping I could get them to work, but neglected to notice the tiny fine print hidden in a compatibility page that says you need to use the kinect as a mic and the mic doesn't work with the chat adapter, which makes no sense to me because what's the goddamn point of the chat adapter then?

I also tried to hook up my old X11s but I couldn't hear or broadcast chat at all, but I also don't know if that was a problem with AW or with the chat adapter. I also use that set for my PC and switching back and forth constantly would be a pain in the rear end.

I have some wireless Ear Force Bravos that weren't working at all with the adapter- sound was dropping out every few seconds and they were generally useless. I also have a wired XL1 that was having the issue ven's post is supposed to fix, so it might just be a wireless vs. wired issue. Or the adapter could just suck :iiam:

It's a crime they didn't add an AI upgrade to that thing, I'd use it every time if it had one.

As it stands I find I invariably get jumped from behind while using it. The boost jumps and crazy spawn logic means I get flanked and killed.

There is. The Sentry upgrade lets it do it's thing without your input.
