So, the Microsoft DLC exclusivity period will be intact through CoD:AWe, and here's a piece on movement and such.

quote:

boost-dodge toward cover, perform super-jumps to elevated positions, climb buildings with magnetic gloves, cloak themselves with optic campoflauge, and hover in mid-air.

"across all modes," so possibly MP will feature this eclectic mix of abilities as well.

It is (or was) a [sic]. Editorial standards on CoD-centric websites are not of the highest quality.

Though that's a good point. SMG rushing invisibly might also be a thing. Or re-enact your Predator fetish.

Who better to consult?

No one ever mentions the first mission where you charge side by side with Jonas Savimbi. There's a pretty clear message in these setpieces.

It was a pretty loving awesome map to get an AC-130 on, that's true.

Otherwise, the idyllic radioactive scenery, Interventions spinning and SNAPing in the pubbie's mating display, the bunker constantly exploding...what's not to like?

That's true about the dead zones on Wasteland, but pounding the spawns by the chopper pad, etc were sufficiently rewarding.

But yeah, putting a 105 on the doorway of the Afghan big bunker was the best.

Maybe they'll just reskin the '130 for this game; we can hope.

There's a great opportunity for team co-ordination here - rather than a bunch of overlapping UAVs, if people within a lobby specialize, you could have

UAV with:
CUAV
AUAV
Oracle
Fast Sweep
etc.

All for a relatively low cost.

When you use your exo dash or double jump, your arrow is outlined, too. And yeah, it's a pulse like Oracle. It's that streaky red outline you may have seen, like tracker rounds or the grenade.

Weakening the UAV was a good choice from a balance perspective.

It really does offer excellent value, and I never took it off in previous games when I had a choice. Moreover, since it's a common complaint that "pubbies always run Ghost/Assassin," disincentivizing them from doing so, by making the consequences for not doing so less dire, without opening the SP/Jugg can o' worms, was a wise choice.
