gently caress wall running. If there's boost jumping, I may rethink my plan to buy this game. That's Titanfall, not Call of Duty. Also, gently caress that C4 change. I suppose I should feel grateful that they're bringing it back at all, but I don't like super nerfing it so the MLG pubbies will quit their bitching. And there's nothing wrong with the VSAT, don't fix it if it isn't broken.

As was previously said, C4 was getting to the point that it entirely outclassed any other explosive equipment. There is no way that something like that was going to get by a proper balancing without a nerf of some kind. IMO taking away air bursting but increasing the default explosive damage/range and adding a proximity sensor is a pretty fair trade. Then again I wasn't the biggest user of C4, so I'm probably biased.

Gordon Shumway posted:

I have some faith because Treyarch has historically made good COD games, but it seems like they're taking the series in a direction that makes it less like the COD we remember and all got hooked on and more like Titanfall, Halo, etc.

But then if they don't change anything they get complaints about it being the exact same game. At this point it's almost impossible to not alienate some part of the fanbase. If it makes you feel any better what I've been hearing is that it does still feel pretty much like BO2 with a flatter, three-lane design and the new movement stuff is mostly just gimmicks that aren't essential to doing well (i.e. the ziplines from BO1).

Gordon Shumway posted:

Several of us (me, Ty, Knight, Mill, Moose, venutolo to a lesser extent, etc.) played Black Ops 2 from when it came out up through the first two months after Advanced Warfare was released. I think Ghosts broke all of us by being so awful, and AW was more of a Halo game than a COD game with all of the exo poo poo, which turned off the entire BLOPS 2 crew I played with.

I'm still hoping to get the entire nightly HC crew back together someday as those were probably my favorite CoD sessions to date. Here's hoping BO3 HC modes have teamkilling! :commissar:

Also, the Blops 2 RC-XD and VSAT cost 50 points more than than their Blops 3 counterparts. Fairly minor change, but could result in surprisingly more scorestreaks being earned.

Can't wait to spend at least a month grinding out the challenge for killing enemies actively being hurt by your own Guardian.

I hope it works exactly how it did in BO2 HC where it doesn't hurt friendlies. Unlike some people I actively tried to not run scorestreaks that would wipe out my entire team. :v:

Watching on streams, spawns seem as bad as ever, killstreaks seem super unpowered and run out whenever you die.

Or maybe that's just the character skill, does it have regular killstreaks like UAVs and poo poo?

The character skill/weapon is in the bottom right with the circular bar around it. It goes away if you die while using it. There are still traditional killstreaks, which are the vertical boxes above the character skill/weapon. People are mostly running lower streaks in TDM, so you aren't going to see the more powerful ones yet.

In response to Ven's sprint cancel survey post, I searched my email, launched the survey, and wrote paragraphs of eloquently delivered diatribe about my Bl3ps grievances. Headlined by the need for sprint cancelling, I also chastised VSAT being too easily countered, domination rounds existing, the riot shield exclusion, the absence of support streaks, and all of the specialist weapons and abilities only benefiting the individual and not the team.

I felt so proud to submit that survey.

Then I scrolled down and saw Hackan's post about implementation impossibilities due to sprint reload always being a thing.

Now I'm ashamed.

Hi I'm about to order this dumb game for idiots from Amazon, will they let me preload if I get a digital code or will I be waiting until Ghosts 2 comes out and is poo poo before I can play.

I don't think so. I think pre-loads are only allowed for digital versions purchased through XBL/PSN/Steam.

EDIT: Speaking of which, if any of you didn't already know, you can pre-load the game + the day one DLC (Nuk3town/The Giant) now if you have the Digital Deluxe version.

It's almost 24 hours before launch and they haven't announced any clan support (outside of clan tags). Usually by now they would give people a way to migrate a clan to the next game. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Played a match where I got a G.I. Unit, RAPS, and then a HATR in successive care packages, then in the next match got another G.I. Unit. So many kills...

Also got diamond launchers this morning, they will probably be the only diamond things I get.

Still need to get turret/scorestreak kills to finish off my BlackCell. Would have gotten them done sooner, but I'm getting gold camo and maxing weapon prestige (which takes forever with launchers).

Also, passing this along since I just learned about this today, care package earned streaks only count toward the challenges if you have the scorestreak unlocked. I think it worked like that in previous games, but I'm dumb and forgot.
