I didn't use it a lot but I didn't like the Razorback. I'm looking forward to using the semiauto AR. The semiauto sniper rifle seems pretty ridiculous. Think the MW2 M21 (albeit with lower fire rate) but it gets OSKs at like "higher than navel" level instead of neck/headshots.

The pump shotgun, when it works, is pretty good, but it's really inconsistent.

The default BRM is a solid LSAT clone, and a soothing balm to the steaming hot shitpiles of disappointment that are the pump shotgun and semi-auto rifle.

Hoooly gently caress, it's SMR levels of slow for it's ROF. It's no loving FAL at all. More like FAIL.

The semiauto AR definitely has some Ghosts marksman rifle firerate going on, but killing in one headshot or two bodyshots out to the longer side of mid-range is pretty decent.

Dingo is pathetically weak with a silencer and only has 60 rounds' capacity.

So far I'm liking the game, it's already better than ghost and AW. Though Combine is the worst map of the bunch we have this beta.

Also am I the only one finding the M8A2 kind of ridiculous, the burst RoF is insanely high without any recoil, little delay and 3 hit kill at nearly any range. Makes me wonder how a semi auto like the Sheiva can compete against this even with the high caliber attachment.

Same. Combine is like nuketown size so it's not surprising that it's the worst. I don't have the M8 yet but I want to try it out; Sheiva isn't that bad with high caliber. I like the first LMG.

I don't like the M8 nearly as much as the Sheiva after playing with both today. I've got thermal, high caliber, stock long barrel, and rapid fire on it and it shreds heads.

Macys and I tried the Sheiva the other night and were initially very turned off by the ROF but after unlocking recon sight and some attachments it gets much much better. Between the RAZR and mano I'm very pleased with at least one of the guns in each category (haven't dipped into LMGs yet but from what I've heard they're decent).

Also, RK5 was serving me well as a secondary to Sheiva last night- any 1 on 1 CQB scenarios would usually tip my way if I had any sort of knowledge where the enemy was located prior to entering the room. Could be better with fast hands & exmags but I haven't unlocked those yet :/

Thermal is a huge improvement for the Sheiva. Rapid fire doesn't seem like a big improvement at all but it might still worth it. Honestly if I had to give up one of: stock, high caliber, long barrel, rapid fire, I'd probably drop rapid fire. I tried it again without long barrel after using it for a while and it felt like I wasn't getting nearly as many one headshot kills at even mid-range, and dropping stock or high caliber is obviously not happening.

I like how Awareness actually does something in this entry. It's nowhere near MW3 Sitrep Pro/Dead Silence combo, but it still saves me regularly.

I'm back. Long post because I haven't posted at all in quite a while. Opinions (I'm only level... ~44? so far, been playing Anno 2205, LotV, another 100 hours of MGS5, etc.):

Argus is a monster with quickdraw and stock, as long as I ADS (obviously what I'm doing with those attachments) and I haven't even unlocked long barrel or rapid fire. However, I haven't really played with the other shotguns yet.
Pharo is really good.
I liked the Gorgon initially, but now I'm not so hot on it, and have gotten rid of it from my classes.
At least 3 of my classes always have the BlackCell or whatever since it can knock anything out of the sky without having to respawn.

Sheiva is really good, as expected from using it in the beta. I had my best game yet about an hour ago and I don't even have my preferred attachments yet; was using just quickdraw and reflex sight in this game:




Didn't get a nuclear :negative:

Awareness seems decent, unlike BO2, but I feel very paranoid about missing footsteps if I'm not using it, even though I could be using a different but also good slot 3 perk.

As for specialists, I've been using Battery with kinetic armor a lot (only using War Machine enough to get customization options), but I also really like using the robot with Psychosis.
For streak rewards, I've been using the UAV, CUAV, Talon combo probably 80% of the time.
For tacticals I've been using mostly the trophy system, if anything. I don't equip lethal equipment much, and when I do, it's just a frag grenade.

Lady Naga posted:

Considering it works on the Black Ops 2 system of unlock tokens there is in fact a way to gently caress yourself over if you unlock something that's garbage since that's one less token for something you actually like.

If you're never, ever going to prestige, even though the game hasn't been out for 2 weeks yet, then you can gently caress yourself over, sure.

It takes three BlackCell hits (it doesn't have flares or anything). I'm surprised you hit it with the Annihilator, since according to the description, only missiles can hit it normally; I guess the Annihilator is special.

I don't think I've gotten a single kill with just one headshot with high caliber on the Sheiva, unlike the beta where it happened very frequently, so I'm going to call it completely worthless for the Sheiva.

What guns does it make the biggest difference on, on a bullets-to-kill basis? For example, for the ICR, would it ever turn, say, a kill from 2 bodyshots and a headshot into 1 bodyshot and 1 headshot, or 3 headshots into 2?

Yeah, silenced/highcal does seem like it could be what might make using a silencer decent, with the only (semi-)problem being I'd need to take primary gunfighter for handling (I'm usually relatively perk-heavy, with Flak/Tac Mask/Awareness and Ghost and a trophy system if possible). I think it was you who said that the Dredge is a candidate for being silenced due to its bursts and tried it for, I dunno, half a dozen games last night with some pretty decent results. I just wish it had a faster reload or more ammo per box.

They absolutely have to have reduced something on the Sheiva, because it was a one shot headshot machine with thermal/high cal in beta. I'm sad. At least the Drakon is still retarded.

MoW still not clicking with me after last night, but I'm also still stubborn about trying to use it without the grip. Your talk about silenced/high cal M8 potentially being strong makes me fear for when pubbies find out about it, as if they needed more encouragement to use it as their first or second prestige unlock like approximately 100% of them have done so far. (e: for the record, I chose Ghost so I don't have to slap a BlackCell on every class if I don't feel like it :v:)

Nearly got my first nuclear on Exodus with the Argus, but died trying to rush for my 29th and/or 30th kill because the game was going to end in like 10 seconds because my team kept capping. Fuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sad about denkirson boards turning to poo poo, but only because they haven't produced a comprehensive chart for me yet. :v:

Haven't had a problem with the mag size yet, and I don't bother with Scavenger; that's what other players' guns are for.

You keep what you kill.

Scavenger owns if for no other reason than scattering trophy systems across the whole map. Getting extra mags for my primary and having an excuse to bring frags to boost-jump-toss onto B when I spawn (I've gotten somewhat reliable at tossing them directly onto B from the C spawn on Combine, at least) is just a bonus.

Holy gently caress the streams are bad. So loving bad. It's an endless train of sub hype, layers of garbage covering the screen, lovely music in the background, rear end quality video, or a series of joyless presenters raging.

Everyone is trying to make a career out of streaming now. People donate more money if they can get their donation read out loud and a blaring music tone pops up as soon as you donate. Same with the overlays. People love angry streamers too, so they play up the rage.

Played a good chunk of the night, hit prestige 5.

Prestige token uses, in order from oldest to most recent:
Ghost
Perk Greed Slot 3
Dead Silence
Scavenger
XM8 (aka, the gun every pubby unlocked with their first prestige token)

Rare black market poo poo I've gotten so far:

Ruin nothing
Outrider rare "Sky" head
Prophet rare taunt
Battery "night" rare body
Seraph nothing
Nomad rare headgear; one or two gestures
Reaper rare gesture, possibly something else
Spectre nothing I know of
Firebreak rare gesture

Rare and higher camos:
"Epic" quality: "Transgression" camo for like HVK-30, L-CAR9, XR-2, and something else.
"Rare" quality: "Pixels" on semiauto pistol, BRM, "Sunshine" on KRM pump shotty
oh and some "ice" camo for man-o-war that I think was higher quality than "rare" but maybe not

Parts: I've gotten two legendary-quality replacement parts for stock and something else for the SVG, and maybe one for something else, but not sure.

Diamond progress - shotguns:

KRM/Argus complete, most of the way to getting 100 headshots with Brecci or whatever, fairly low headshot count on Haymaker

Diamond progress - snipers:

Drakon/Locus complete; other two I have barely played

Diamond progress - ARs/SMGs/LMGs:

I think the only gun in these categories that I'm close to golding is the XR-2, which just needs a few longshots. Other than that, I have a lot of work to do in these areas

Diamond progress - launchers:

No idea about the first one; BlackCell has a couple of challenges left before gold

No idea about diamond camo for knife

It's been almost three weeks since this game has been out, so I thought I'd post my barracks overview.
