My biggest problem with this game is the TTK. It's the first COD in history to have an automatic weapon kill in 3 hits. Why can't they just use the MW2 TTK?

Yep! I know my urologist appreciates that I went xbone over PS4 because I have too many P's as it is. Moderation in P's is key.

I'm assuming they haven't revealed all of the scorestreaks yet as there aren't a whole lot of them compared to previous games. Although I imagine customizable streaks will increase the variety.

I assume that there aren't any more. The customizations change the base streak enough that they would have been entirely independent killstreaks in the previous games. With the modules, the 12 base streaks will really be like 40 unique streaks. I mean look at Remote Turret; the Rippable module is the Death Machine.

I wish that you could have one CoD account across multiple platforms. I'd really like to be able to hop back and forth between Xbone and PS4 and have one set of classes/unlocks/stats/etc. It will probably never happen, but a man can dream.

It's technically possible. It's all a matter of red tape and effort. You know how much effort goes into their elite/clan/web stuff.

You really are the only regular I've heard say they are going with the 360 version. Xbone is tops and PS4 is a close second. Even Cajun has a bone.

A Dire Weresloth posted:

We'll see what the new mechanics add to it. I had some good times with Marauder in MW3 survival, and adding a persistent progression mechanic with objective rounds makes this awfully similar to Extinction, really.

Might be a good time, might suck rear end. Time will tell.

MW3 survival was so bland for all the on-disc maps. 4 different wave progression tiers (difficulties) that were pretty much just introducing harder enemies a little earlier than the tier below.

The two things that made it work were 1) Each DLC map had their own unique wave progression and threw out the concept of difficulty level and 2) The sentry glitch that allowed you to hold as many weapons as you wanted (ie all 4 LMGs, a MK14, and a riot shield).

Slower to use was the reason I used stun grenades over flash bangs in many CODs despite their smaller radius, so that's a significant downside. Being able to cycle through reads a lot better on paper than will likely play out in game. You'll probably just stick with one launcher after the 10th time you get killed while cycling.

RE: BOYS

I'm only doing this once. Most people will just want to scroll past this reply.

The BOYS clan has been migrated over to an Xbox Live A&W clan already.

Managing A&W clans in any way beyond the migration is not yet implemented. There is nothing I can do right now to change a thing. The usernames in the roster list appear to be the Elite usernames you provided years ago, so hopefully everyone knows the username they registered with.

This is the roster that appears on the migration page that only I can access:

"Party Size: 1-1"
Would this image suggest the possibility of multiparty play (for custom games, presumably)?
Cause a four team game of Uplink (2v2v etc.) would be pretty :krad:

Or it's the must more obvious game type: free-for-all

Just to be clear, it's definitely free-for-all.

I'm estimating 100 for me, 250 for you. :colbert:

I know how many I can get. You? not so much.

And 100, even 200 matches- is barely significant statistically when you've played 2,000+ matches by the time the next game rolls around.

You're saying that if you focused entirely on longshot challenges and switched to a different gun after you complete the 500 longshots each time, you could have this one camo unlocked on 10 to 20 different guns after a year of playing this game religiously. That's absurd.

I'll just work on my longshots for the riot shield and the other things in that category (like the tactical pogo stick and the digital boomerang) so that I can carry around a plaque of royalty.

I don't understand why they didn't drastically increase health. I feel everyone should have at least two to three times the amount of health they currently have.

Agreed. It's really strange that they made this game feel like a Call Of Duty and not Unreal Tournament. It was likely unintentional.

If they're consistent with their use of the word, "Elite," it would be a gun that does not work.

Is there an Xbone clan yet? I'm about to make one.

Definitely make a clan and invite both XBone and 360 players since XBL is considered one platform and they can all contribute to clan XP and clan wars.

BOYS is the existing XBL clan, but has been near or at capacity since 2011.

For anyone that is emblem challenged, you can join a clan and use the clan emblem! Clan members can also submit emblems for the leader to use/save/discard so you can use clans as a way of sharing emblem creations. I know as a clan leader, I can save the clan emblem to my personal list. If members can also save the clan emblem, the leader can just swap the clan emblem regularly for members to save a variety of solid entries.


Also, let me read an excerpt from today's journal about my enthralling adventures with an innovative SMG build. I call it SAC The Ripper. Tune in tomorrow for another showcase of one OK game I will have!

Speaking of Survival... trying it out now for first time. Any tips? I beat the campaign, I'm solid-if-not-good at multiplayer, but even in the early rounds I feel like I get downed SUPER fast.

Either play with a friends and lock down a hallway/room or use the lightweight class, take gung ho, the BAL with lasersight, and constantly run around hip firing. Running around kind of herds the enemies so that you can just turn around and take out a group without worrying about your rear for a bit.
