If that is a UAV, then it's a 6 kill streak.

I hope they don't do that thing where kills in FFA are only 50 points, which would mean that UAV is a 12 kill streak. 12 kills would net you an AC-130 in MW2 :downs:

Those rumors sound like common sense to me, so I hope they are in.

It makes me think of that time the Black Ops rumors got posted and it was poo poo like "there will be a perk so you can dive sideways as well as forward" and it just sort of reeked of bullshit.

Haven't seen any mention on how dash is activated from any of the videos I've watched. I assume it's the sprint button while holding left or right?

I'm noticing lots of neat little UI things. The minimap highlights your icon in red while you're firing an unsilenced weapon (I thought I also saw it highlight when someone got pinged by a UAV in another video, but that didn't seem to happen in any of these), and it shows you when your teammates are firing.


Thats actually one of the upgrade options for the uav. It turns it into a wall hack. Kind of like that grenade that tags people through walls.

I guess they probably spent enough time on the campaign and the multi that they're probably just busting out the co-op mode in the last couple months. :v:

I have a feeling this is exactly what happened. They are just reusing assets from the other game modes. Quick and dirty solution.

900p's close enough that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway though. The Xbone version of Ghosts got framey ADSing with the rifles, hopefully that's gone too.

You wouldn't mind if i poured out 25% of your beer would you?

The difference between 900p and 1080p is 500,000 pixels. 1080p has roughly 30% more pixels. I can tell the difference on a 12' laptop screen.

Everyone is going to be using low profile and blind eye, i just loving know it.

A lot of the perks are dog poo poo, too. Hmm i could get a bigger mini-map or I could be immune to every single score streak in the entire game, decisions, decisions. Gun Ho looks alright though.

I think the Tier 3 perks are the only ones where some sacrifice needs to be made, they are all really good.

Big fan of the extra score streak wild card, going to using that bad boy.

That goes without saying. If there are stealth perks in game then people are going to use them.

So my pre-load download finished on PS4 but it was only around 7 gigs. Does that mean the rest of the game becomes available at launch or what?

I think multi-player is 7 GB, once that's done downloading it will do the rest, mine is showing 43GB worth.

The stealth stuff is spread across like 6 perks so I dont think itll be so bad. They'd also have to give up toughness and other quality of life perks.

2 perks.

It takes 2 perks to be immune to every streak in the game, besides system hack.

Why does exo mute exist? Footsteps are already impossible to hear.

Edit: that video that cum dumpsters posted before, that dudes complaints were all valid. Scorestreaks are dog poo poo and everyone us using the stealth perks.

On the plus side the direction UAV seems to counter 'low profile'. Its pretty much the only non dogshit scoresteak. Oh and the care package trap is also good (even after you pick it up, the trap part remains)

The double tap reload that loses ammo is a thing but doesn't feel much faster than a normal reload so why do it?

As far as i can tell any reload will cause you to lose ammo.

Im glad others are noticing the weird "lag" issues. It reminds me of MW3's launch where there were some qwirks with lag compensation, they fixed it in the first couple of weeks.

Just played a game where the enemy was on the receiving end of the strange lag. I went 30-0 in FFA and ended up with over 50k points for the match. poo poo need to be fixed.

For some unexplainable reason switching from lan cable from wifi has helped, might make the lag comp work in your favour? Its worth trying at least.

Typical experiences playing from UK with US group...

Every previous CoD: 2-3 bars depending on East/West coast makeup/location of party leader - 3 bars not too bad, 2 bars pretty hit-and miss. Never ever had a 4-bar connection with US goons. Sometimes 1 bar when we get chucked into a Brazilian/Japanese hosted game.

Advanced Warfare: Randomly 1 bar or 4 bar from game to game (sometimes flipping between them mid-game). Lag seemingly has no correlation to ping report, can happily kill people when it's showing 1 bar, other times targets are warping across the map/bullets not registering when showing 4 bars.

Clearer?

Yeah im getting the exact same thing. Sometimes everyone in the lobby in on 1 bar. The best games ive had are one 1 bar. Then I'll get 4 bars and it's laggy. Then you have the random 1 to 4 bar swap issue you mentioned.

It's a bit poo poo.

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?

A lot of people are having this exact same issue. I found intentionally gimping my internet connection but putting my console on wireless and downloading/uploading torrents at the same time helped a great deal. I play much better on a 1 bar connection. It's hosed.

Yeah lag is flat-out way worse after the recent patch than it ever was before. Tonight I was in 3 different games where I had enough time to dump TWO mags of bulldog ammo into someone from 10 feet away... Then they'd fall over dead 2 seconds later.

Also, if you want to figure out where the map glitches are play team infected - I found map glitches on 4 different maps tonight in like an hour of playing - just by following my team and then watching them all jump at random wall/ceiling spaces and vanish. It's pretty funny to hear the infected side try to figure out how to get at people in glitch spots though (just stay out of shottie effective range until they run out of ammo, and then crawl in and wait for someone to move toward you before stabbing them first.)

Yeah i have the lag where i dont fire bullets in the kill cam and generally feel half a second behind the lobby, even on 4 bars, which is most of the time.

I'd love the game if the connection lag/compensation debacle wasn't so bad. I shouldn't go 40-3 in one game and almost the opposite in the next. Even if I got a decent game in Ghosts, I hated it for being so bland.

Ghosts might of sucked, but it netcode was good and people died when you shot them. Which is more than what I can say about AW.
