Wait hold up people didn't like MW3?



We're all suckers and even though all CODs suck they're still fun and we're big dumb baby idiots that keep feeding into it. Except Ghost of course. That one actually looked good but was actually terrible.


This one actually looks kinda ok though. Queue me as another idiot that will buy it. Not falling for the DLC/season pass this time though!

I hope being on last gen as well won't effect graphics improvement on ps4

I also got a xim since it ruled on Xbox so I'm one of those faggots

Yeah so this game is pretty sweet. The exo suit can be annoying trying to chase down sporadic dudes but also is great for avoiding grenade spam. Especially on domination

Ok I haven't unlocked much but I highly recommend the HBRa3 with foregrip, stock, and QuickDraw. It has great iron sights. An ACOG Might be good with foregrip. Maybe I'll do extended mags instead of the foregrip when I unlock them.

Also lightweight and toughness. Rest is up to you.


What is everyone unlocking permanently when they prestige? Haven't gotten into the higher tier of weapons. Also what's closest to the mp7 and is there rapid fire?


I tired the sac3whatevers and they're a pain to control. Hate the way they aim

Anyone got any configuration tips for the Xim4? I'm trying to get it close to PC feel, but having to have my mouse dpi so high feels just weird to me. I have a logitech g600 with like a max dpi of like 8.4k. It seems to me that this will take some tone to get right.

However, the Xim4 readily increased my play performance without it even being optimality set. Where as I could go rounds with under .9 KDR, I started doing 1.3 to 1.8 KDR.

Are you using the Ghost ST? It's the next best until they release the AW one which should be soon.

Do you have a halfway decent keyboard and a mouse with a bunch of extra buttons? I can post my super try hard control scheme with the g602 mouse if anyone cares.

Anyways make a custom lan game and gently caress around with bots. Crank the sensitivity up as high as you can tolerate, play with that for a bit, and then raise it some more. You want to be able to do a 180 with, oh, 1-2" of movement on the mouse pad? I also have my ADS set significantly lower than my hip firing

Yeah xim4 is the only option really for the ps4 and xbone. They use a smart translator which is pretty much the mouse movement I think for specific games. Each one will have their own profile you download and use. The AW one isn't out yet but the ghost one works well enough. It's expensive, yeah, but that's going to be up to you. They do hold their value pretty well. You'll want a KVM switch if you use it at a desk with your PC. A nice gaming mouse and preferably a mechanical keyboard. It honestly feels 100% like you're on PC but I'm not some competitive counter strike player. Let me know if you have anymore questions

^ "should" be patched real soon

what are you guys holding over through a prestige? i quite like the mk14 and AMR9.

MK14 seems like it'd be a great sniper rifle. Maybe pair it with an ACOG?

And AMR9 would be great with laser sight, I think

Anyone running either of those guns and what builds?

I've got a xim4 I haven't gotten around to hooking up yet. Which kvm do you recommend? I would assume lag would be a concern when using a kvm switch. I'm going to drag the ps4 over to my computer desk.

this seems to be the one to get

Yup! That's the one I have. Works great and no lag. It's purely "mechanical" I think which is what you want

I had another one with 100000 5 star reviews from Amazon but it didn't work right but I can't remember why. Above one works great though.

You can find a xim3 or edge for cheaper (not much!) if you don't plan on upgrading to next gen. If you do then yeah get a xim4. If it's purely a setup for xim use then you can get s Logitech gamepad (g15 I think it is?) but I love my mechanical keyboard

So after nerding out and finally prestiging here's some tips for new guys. PS I suck at this game


-When you prestige you get an extra class slot AND can permanently unlock an item. You lose your challenges, ranks, and unlocks. You keep your armory items, calling cards, and emblems. "Everything you've unlocked including weapons, challenges, and experience will be reset." Ok so yeah I guess weapon camo challenges aren't supposed to reset. So if you want to hold off until that gets fixed then by all means. I assumed they were supposed to reset

- that being said weapon camo is harder to get in this game. The quickest and easiest ones to knock out before you prestige are 50 kills no attachments (gold) and 50 no perks (carbon fiber). ALSO you can have multiple camos at once and overlap them

- you can sell some armory weapons for xp. Sort by rarity and when you highlight it'll tell you whether or not you can and for how much

- armory items you keep. If it's at the top left where it says (2) new items available! Those expire

- lethals are pretty pointless because of the exo suite

- sniper rifles are pretty pointless because of the exo suits and small maps and fast pace

- sprinting seems to last forever. Lightweight and overclock is fun with fast hands and or gung ho

- not a lot of good things to unlock when you prestige. Most the good stuff is pretty low level. fast hands is a late level unlock and possibly worth unlocking when you prestige if only because you can reload by sprinting. Gung ho is also really good because you can shoot while sprinting/sliding

- if you reload with rounds left you lose the ammo but apparently you're not supposed to? Only if you double tap reload which does a speed reload? Either way it's bugged and supposed to be fixed next patch

- there is a trophy system exo suit that I had no idea existed and I unlocked it when I prestiged

- most of the kill streaks suck. UAV, care package, and system hack seem to be the only worthwhile ones. It took me way too long to figure this out but you can upgrade kill streaks at the cost of more points required by hitting triangle over it. You can have up to 3 per but only once you level up enough. (Turrets are all remote btw unless you select the sentry upgrade!) Some have support which means they cost a lot more points but carry on through death. UAV with extra time, support, and whatever it is that tells you where they are on your hud when it scans is really good

- the best guns are ARs per usual. BAL, ak12, and hbr. The KF5 is probably the best SMG. Everything else seems to suck for the most part. (Doesn't mean they're not fun)

- grip is really good and you should pretty much always run it. Toughness and low profile are pretty much requirements. Probably gung hi and or fast hands too. Blast suppressor is great for TDM type matches. Stock is more of the same but I can't live without it. Quick draw as well

- target enchancer is pretty good and nice for ARs. Red dots seem kind of meh but are ok. Probably better for an LMG

- Different types of the same weapon might have different iron sights. Not too different but just check it out. Also when you're in create a class you can hit the options button (for ps4 at least) if you didn't know and test out your gun real quick instantly



Ok yeah that's a lot of words I'm a nerd. Hopefully it helps new guys out


Also I thought of a great cheese DOM build purely for points. Exo trophy, stim, (one that is supposed to boost regen) the battery pack perk. And then maybe riot shield? Then get an SMG with laser sight for crazy hip firing. Maybe sacrifice a exo suit for a smoke grenade? (Yes there are smoke grenades in this game and no no one uses them)

Dear Sledgehammer games,

Thank you for including a support package for the scorestreaks.

It is pretty nice. I liked the MW3 killstreaks the best and that was also a great game, imo. Idk why everyone in here hated it aside from the netcode which this one suffers from.

Is it going to turn into previous CODs where you literally have to gimp your connection to in turn have less lag? I remember some goons would say, download a torrent really slow on their PC



I just want to see what the first season pass release is so I can decide if I'm getting it or not
