I'm more weirded out about the kill confirm mechanic. Like, it's fine that High Caliber is just "Damage Boost: The Attachment" for now. But I don't think I've played enough games to see much of the Kill Confirm things. As in, I only remember Loadout having similar stuff.

Oh yeah, probably should ask how the gently caress do I git gud at multiplayer. Like, sure I'm near level 7 or 8 with at least 10 Cryptokeys and a pull on that slot machine thing. Also I'm still running the KN-44, maybe dabbling in the Brecci and snipers which feel good than previous snipers idk why

And I would ask to git gud at Zmobies but I feel pretty good at it. The Season Pass and The Giant are definitely on my list, can't just keep playing Shadows of Evil forever.

Essentially. Ask questions and play a lot. You really can't get good at this game as a casual player unless at some point in the past you were poopsocking an earlier cod.

I've got like 40 days played in blops and just never really got back into these games. I'm honestly happy with sitting at a .75 k/d considering I do stupid poo poo all the time.

Okay. So I guess I should ask: What the gently caress should I burn my limited unlock tokens on? By my last count, we only get 54 tokens per prestige. Also, full auto or burst fire? Run-and-gun or go slow? You know, stuff a goon would say where said goon stopped at CoD4 in terms of Multiplayer.

Rapid fire is approximately a 6% ROF boost. It is one of the few ways to increase ttk, but the increase is so small that I don't think it's worth it.

On any AR it would be much better to use high caliber and long barrel (non-94 division).

The gently caress do you mean by non-94 division? Just guns that aren't in a certain subset or something?

I just wish the dew codes weren't for zombies.

BrokenKnees posted:

There's certainly people buying more mountain dew for codes, as well as people who might not normally buy mountain dew at all.

Though having the 2xp codes be Zombies only is pretty loving stupid.

I can sorta see what they were going for here. I mean, for one, remember the LAST time Multiplayer had Dew-ble XP? Wasn't it not only a money-printing scheme but also severely frowned upon? Though I could be misremembering things. Plus, as of now, there are some people without a season pass, so they can't do the grind on The Giant like a sane person would. Addendum, Shadows of Evil can get pretty loving complicated despite being a level for a mode that is literally "Shoot Things: The Mode", barring Easter Eggs.

Then again, I will agree that Multiplayer's grind is a bit steep in some cases too. I am a bad, so I only see about 5-6k xp on a normal day on Domination only, with probably less Weapon XP for weapons I really really want to give better mods to. And about 10 or so more Scorestreak Destructions closer to the penultimate BlackCell camos.

All in all, yes, more Multiplayer XP is fine, but I'd rather it be a legit 2XP weekend instead of Dew-ble XP. Don't wanna poison my body or Mother Earth with whatever the gently caress Dew and Doritos are made of just so I can have one more hour of Dew-ble XP.

I'm coining the term "Dew-ble XP", loving sue me.

Warning: Silly question incoming.

Do people dislike skill based matchmaking because it reduces the amount of easy kill fodder they get to work over, or is there some other issue?

From a purely detached point of view putting people in a lobby with others of approximately the same skill level would seem like a good thing.

If you're a poo poo player, the match bonus you get will be higher than your actual score, so it's just a matter of putting in the time.

It's a very useful thing if you got UAV/CUAV/any and all airships from the enemy team. It's a bit tricky to nail ground units, as well as the Care Package couriers though. I got more Scorestreak Kills than I do regular Kills. :smith:

How do I make this gun good? I keep shooting people and 99% of the time it takes a second shot to kill them.

Alright, so Fast Mags and Rapid Fire are your go-to for the KRM. Unless you really want that accuracy, in which case either trade out Rapid Fire for Laser Sight, or consider Primary Gunfighter... assuming Rapid Fire doesn't reduce hipfire accuracy.

But yeah, I think I'll stop running Ante Up and Hard Wired on all my classes since the guy you linked pointed out that Quickdraw/Fast Hands is very palatable.

RossCo posted:

Treyarch. You can blame publishers for a lot (poor overall design choices can be inflicted, bad business models, rushed releases are all prime examples of publisher badness). The actual implementation of networking is smack bang in the developers wheelhouse, I cannot imagine an external producer wandering by and expressing an opinion on the approach to connection optimisation in any scenario (they'll be too busy sticking their oar into shinier features).

Edit: With one small caveat. The developer could ask for the budget to host dedicated servers and when the publishers stopped:

(a) Looking up what that was
(b) Laughing

they would say no.

So let me get this straight. For PC users, they tried to go for dedicated servers, but when Activision said no, they had to slap together the networking? Or was Treyarch always bad with netcode?
