C4 change is good, there was no other reason to use any other equipment. 2 hit melee is amazing. No toughness is good (crutch perks are dumb). Now if only goons would play a CoD for more than a month :(

2 hit melee only applies to panic knifing, it's still a OHK when the knife is equipped.

Now that we're on internet/speedtest chat: My town is getting gigabit internet next month, I'm tempted to switch over. $99/month with a two year contract, which is over twice what I'm paying now. I have now idea how much gigabit internet usually costs in the U.S., is that reasonable?

Man, remember when that Raven dev used to post here back when Ghosts was relevant? It was cool to get a developer perspective on the game that wasn't filtered through the PR machine. I guess we scared him off? :shrug: Anyway, I preordered this game for both consoles for a whole 10 days of beta access. #ShameThePoors (I'll cancel the order when I get the beta code).

I still don't know which version to go for. There are goons I enjoyed playing with who are now both on ps4 and xbox, this is truly the most dire of problems.

Also amazon only sent me one code for the beta despite preordering both versions in advance for a code on each.

I also got the beta for both consoles but I plan on playing on PS4 come November. Sorry Xbone crew :(

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?

Specialist skills/weapons run out when you die or the timer runs out. There are also normal streaks, pretty much a carbon copy of the streaks in BO2.

edit: too slow.

My understanding is you can actually use these codes to register for any platform, you just won't be getting a download until later on if you're not on PS4.

Xbox uses 25 digit codes, PSN uses 12.

Periscope interview with Vonderhaar. He acknowledges that the spawns can be hosed and they are working on an update to flip the spawns more frequently. The hellstorm is also likely to see a nerf during the beta.

Fun games tonight guys. Got extremely laggy for a bit there but we got some good matches in. I haven't used the Weevil yet but I feel like all of the ARs and SMGs are viable. Yay weapon balance! Also, black hat needs a nerf. UAVs stay in the air for mere seconds before they're either shot down or hacked.

I went back to play Ghosts for a few games just to see if I was going crazy and misremembering.

... nah, CoD has gone monkeyfuck mountain dew adrenaline adhd speed since then.

It feels so much slower and more deliberate (not in a bad way) than AW or BO3.

Dunno. On the fence on this game. I don't dislike the mobility as much as AW, but infinite sprint + fast movement + wall running + jetpacks + small three lane maps = eh. Supers are kind of... why also.

May stick with Destiny for ttk pvp, move on to Titanfall 2/Ghosts 2 next year.

Ghosts was an abortion of a CoD. Big, serpentine maps aren't fun. Treyarch seems to have figured out that three lane maps make the most sense for the CoD formula. BO3 incorporated some 3D movement but avoided the staccato boost jump mechanics of AW that forced a lot of the gunfights to occur in the air.

Got the Mothership a handful of times. Dunno if it was due to the lag but it seemed too hard to get kills with, had to put the reticle right on top of an enemy to even get a hitmarker. Splash damage should be increased.

Yea it did the same to me, but I had to head to work soon anyway.

When it happened to me last night closing the "app" did nothing, but restarting my xbox did fine.

Is the moderate NAT a problem for anyone else? Xbone menu says I have an open NAT but not blops. It seems to be a reoccurring problem for the last couple of Cods but I didn't really play those.

I was in the same situation, open on the console but not in game. Vonderhaar posted the port the game uses on Twitter, 3075 UDP. I was able to get an open NAT in game by forwarding that port.

David Vonderhaar posted:

Here is a summary of the weapon tuning and Specialist weapon and ability tuning changes we made for the Playstation beta and just released for the Xbox One beta. Still TBD if we are going to do this for PC.

Adjustments to the following weapons:

M8A4
Increased time in between bursts –

Hitting an enemy in the upper chest no longer 1-hit kills. Neck up does 1-hit kill

Razorback

Slightly increased recoil

HVK
Hip spread size is a little smaller.

Haymaker
Fire rate has increased by about 10%. Should be noticeable. Should take roughly 2.25 seconds to empty a standard magazine.

KRM
Up close damage increased. Should never cause a non-lethal hit within 250 units. Damage at a further distance has been reduced and can’t 1 hit kill as far out, even when ADS.

XR-2
Delay between bursts has been reduced by a frame, very slight change.

Kinetic Armor

The animation time to get up from the Rejack has been increased from 1 second to 1.5 seconds.
