I'm sure not tired of the last four years of reading this post and I'm sure as hell looking forward to another year of it.

I was watching a Twitch stream earlier when I was trying to decide whether or not I wanted the game and some rando joined in progress and began recording a live commentary over his PS4 mic.

So did they make a version of COD yet for adults who have jobs and lives and poo poo or is this a bunch of kids who saw 'cool robot exoskeleton' and thought 'oh boy i cant wait to play TDM and let the timer count down while sitting in a corner' like it is every year

I've had like three TDM games today go down to the timer, MAN kids do not want to play with the exosuit. I've been strapping on like all the speed poo poo I can get and just zipping around and like the entire other team will be hiding in a corner behind a thing like they're still playing Ghosts. I don't get it.

Like at this point I think Titanfall had the right idea. Ditch the loving killstreaks, getting them slows the gameplay down way too much.

My game froze at the end of a TDM where I had like 22 kills with the drat Bulldog.

Shotgun reviews!
TAC - Stock standard workhorse shotgun. Pump action, good frequency of OHKs, decent range, bit short for my liking but still the best in its class on paper.

S-12 - Probably the worst of the bunch, high fire rate, low damage, low range. Good for hardcore, HARDCORE rushing, couple with speed perks, exo speed and gung ho and facefuck the other team basically. You will get punched a LOT trying to use this thing. It's nowhere near as bad as the MW2 AA-12 but nowhere near as bad as the MW3 AA-12. Still kinda hot garbage but not like, LEGENDARY hot garbage like the MW3 shotguns and i had gold on all of those loving things.

Bulldog - Personal favourite, medium range compared to the TAC, semi-auto, high damage. Bit less risky than the S-12, kinda like a low-ammo capacity version of the Striker from MW2? Still a non-zero chance of just getting loving decked trying to use it, but gung-ho and a high-speed build go a long way.

Due to the current nature of the game and a lack of generous auto-aim, high speed matches make the shotguns a high risk, high reward option. Against conservative teams just having one player going loving apeshit with a shotgun makes playing conservative really dangerous and will probably make things more dangerous as people learn the maps a bit better. Honestly the map design favours shotguns with a lot of verticality and a LOT of little tunnels to flank with blind corners and poo poo. Against teams that move around a lot it becomes a lot more of a challenge but still fun. There's really no option for a room-clearing shotgun due to everything having a low magazine size, short of a huge fuckup on the enemy teams part but it's easy to manage doubles and triples with the Bulldog and the Tac.

whoops i meant to say the MW2 AA-12 was good

Man TDM in this game is a drag sometimes. Half the games I'm just whipping around getting into gunfights and the other half it's a long boring slog because kids just sit in loving corners and lay on rooftops and like, I get it, that's COD, but I was REALLY hoping the mobility poo poo would distract from corner-camping, K/D-scrimping nimrods. You can't even SEE other peoples stats in this game dude.

The patch last night really turned things around honestly. Bulldog's a HELL of a lot more viable now, but they changed the reqs on it for gold camo and I was one kill away from 50 :negative:

Yeah idk I don't know how much longer I'm going to be into this. Five TDMs in a row in five different lobbies of just like, stationary-rear end, campy, creeping trash games. You get punished for using any of the exo abilities to actually move because the maps are just so full of all this wasted loving space kids just use to hide in. It's not enraging or even frustrating it's just like, kinda depressing to see this is how people choose to play these games.

Like one in every ten games I get to have a fast-paced fuckin' arena shooter style match where people are flying all over the place and everything's moving and things are just fast and frantic but like, literally every other match I play is people laying prone in corners and hiding behind fuckin' rocks like they're terrified to actually play the game.

Testing out the other assault rifles. The ARX is actually pretty nice, handles a lot like a COD4 M16

Also boost slamming when getting off a ledge is a good way to avoid getting killed as you float gently to the ground like an idiot. Never not be boost slamming.

I earned one of those goliath killstreaks, called it in, got into it, and then spent 5 minutes wandering around the map until i died because the minigun bullets wouldnt register on a dude.

All COD games start as assault rifle games because they're the easiest weapons to use on unfamiliar maps and all COD games start with awful connection issues because only hardcore players buy the game and continue to play it at launch, connections improve around Christmas because there's a wider sample size for peer-to-peer matchmaking.

Like 2/3 shotguns and gently caress, the KNIFE are all completely viable ways to play and I can do really well with all three. SMGs need a buff, the ARs dont really need a nerf. gently caress LMGs they've always been a nerd weapon anyway

Also how about that fuckin' Spike Drone

So uh there's a mod that makes care packages explode if the other team tries to take it, anyway that's the story of how I finished the Triple Kill in TDM challenge.

I'm just having fun playing alone and running gimmick builds in TDM and getting kids to ragequit by planting spike drones around and calling them back to me through peoples loving heads like the dude from Phantasm.

That Spike Drone may have replaced the tomahawk as my favourite throwable, but like idk, starting with Ghosts I was just like gently caress it, I'm going to spend as much time seeing how hard I have to hinder myself to actually consistently do poorly. Hell I spent a few games today just hipfiring the pistols to unlock the tac knife and i was still going 2:1. These TDM kids are loving BAD and it's so much fun.
