Are there any of the 360 CoD4/MW2 goons on PS4? I used to be Incarceratr on the 360. And what is the objectively best gun to use in this game by the spreadsheets?

What are the best ways to adjust to the speed of this game? The game is way quicker than it was when I last played (BLOPS1/MW3), and I am getting destroyed in core.

I thought the appeal of MW2 was how unbalanced it was and easily you guys could stomp pubbues?

It might've been easier in Black Ops 1 because there was no real way to fight back against a perpetual Blackbird. Whereas in MW2 there was all sorts of bullshit to fight back with, e.g. knife running, OMA tubes.

Somewhere between MW3, which was the last CoD I played, and this game, most of the easy money has left Domination.

Does nobody use the P06 on PS4?Or the Shevia? How are burst guns considered good. Well the M8 is fine but the XR sucks.

There are Shieva users but more players have caught onto the Drakon on PS4, which is easier to use and doesn't require Long Barrel and High Cal.

Let me tell you about being in a party with 4 or 5 orange numbers. You get to spend half the time of a match in the lobby between every match!

Worst 'minor' ui decision ever.

If you never bought the maps, the players won't realize what orange numbers means!

I think this is a record for awfulness, especially given the time played.



and this is the video Jones was referring to last night. I miss pubbie rage mics on the PS4.

Brecci also owns. Getting head shots with it has been a pain, though.

Use Bumper Jumper and jump around wildly with Afterburner. Plus jumping around makes you much harder to hit.

bumper jumper is for try hards. its basically one step away from a xim

If I was a real tryhard I'd be using a Scuf. :v:

I'd also like to nominate the Drakon to the annoying guns list, but more so because it's the most common sniper and pubbies have learned to spam it with silencers. Luckily I don't recall anyone running around with as an AR like I do, since it's better than the Shieva except for ADS time + ADS sway.

I just used the Circle/B slide like a normal person. What's this YY slide you speak of?

When one slide was finished, you would double-tap the swap weapon button to cancel the recover animation. With Afterburner, you could've slid around the map without ever running out of boost.

Am I wrong? I've only been playing a few hours and haven't played cod since like 2010, maybe I just need to get used to it.

You don't see many snipers since Treyarch effectively killed quickscoping. There's no aim assist on the 2 snipers that would be used for quickscoping, the Locus and SVG, and there's little aim assist on the Drakon and P-06. Sniping is also difficult because of the size of the maps, and speed of the game. The only sniper I recall seeing with any regularity is the Drakon, but that's just an AR with more sway and a higher ADS time. But if you're good at sniping, the sniper rifles are all pretty good in this game (although the P-06 takes some adjustment.)

BTW for all the spreadsheet fans out there, here are the recoil plots for BO3. It confirms a few things I've thought, namely the Weevil's recoil being disgustingly bad (worse than the VMP!)

They reduced the Scythe's ammo again? How about making the other specialists worth using instead?

Besides the Purifier, Ripper, and War Machine, obviously.

Given how proactive Treyarch has been with patches, I'm really surprised the Purifier hasn't received any significant nerfs like the Scythe has.

The laser sight on the Kuda getting patched makes me sad, since you didn't have to ADS at close range pre-patch with the laser. (The laser sight bonus still seems to be in effect for the Razorback and HG-40.) And I'm thankful that Treyarch hasn't touched the Brecci yet on consoles.

When I first got the PS4, I thought about buying this dongle that lets you use a 360 controller on the PS4. I'm still not happy with the DS4's ergonomics, but with some analog stick covers, I like it enough.

I'm really not one for the whole rose-colored glasses thing, but there is one thing I desperately miss from CoD4 and one of the main reasons I'll probably get the remaster: the maps. gently caress man, the maps in CoD4 were SO GOOD. Ambush, Backlot, Overgrown... sniping on Countdown & Crossfire...

Yeah, I'm tired of the formulaic three-lane Treyarch maps where you feel like you're handicapping yourself if you're using an AR. Also bullet penetration would be nice to have again.

Long barrel on SMG's is useless because it only increases the minimum damage range or something? How does it go again?

It's only really useful on the MP40 and maaaybe the VMP.

Man, they really want to recreate the magic of the CoD4 AC-130 mission, but in space.

EDIT: if you preorder on PS4, you get to replay the CoD4 campaign 30 days early. Looks like not even a digital preorder is needed, a physical preorder will do for "select retailers."

Do the XBONE->PS4 controller adapters work with every XONE controller? I tried my best to use the PS4 controller for BLOPS3 but that poo poo isn't happening. Trying to get on some BLOPS this weekend if I can (ps4: fa66otry)

The CronusMax adapter will let you use any Xbox controller, including the Elite on the PS4.

This is what the kids call a clutch these days, though imgur cut off the first kill from B window. Maybe I'll upload the gameplay later; managed to break my kill record on a non-Nuketown map.

And LMGs are way easier than SMGs. Enjoy blowing through them in no time at all.

Except for the Gorgon, which I really can't be bothered with despite the fact that it's all I have left for LMGs. The TTK advantage it might have is negated by the atrocious handling, plus you can't take more than 3-4 targets at a time because of the poor magazine size. I get that you're supposed to play hyper-conservatively with the Gorgon, but I really don't like doing that in this game.

How do I upload higher quality ones, like Flank's up above?

Save the footage straight to a USB stick and then upload to gfycat/streamable. Image quality takes a substantial hit when using imgur's gifv tool, and you've already taken one hit by probably uploading footage to YouTube first.

While finishing diamond shotguns, I found that a silencer works surprisingly well on the Haymaker. I don't know exactly why, but it works well because of the damage mechanics for shotguns in this game, and you don't notice the damage dropoff because of the already low damage. Similarly the Brecci also works well, though the damage penalty is more noticeable.
