It looks like the old HC crew is all playing PS4, is that going to stay the same for release or are some of you going with the bone version? I haven't preordered either one yet.

I'm getting both, and I figure I'll play where more goons are, which I suspect with be Xbone.

Yes. I hated AW, so I didn't play it after Thanksgiving. I much prefer PS4 and play everything on it aside from CoD, so I haven't been on XBL in months.

If you don't respond to the beta survey by telling them to add sprint reload canceling, we can't be friends anymore.

I agree that sprint cancelling is the one true way to cancel, but guns reload so late in the animation I'm not sure it's worth it.
Reload canceling also is useful for when you simply want to cancel the reload so you can shoot quickly regardless of having the reload be successful. If I've started a reload with 8 bullets left, and then some enemy shows up, I want to cancel my reload and at least try to shoot the dude with my 8 remaining bullets.

Not sure how they'd implement it though, because you can reload while sprinting now, even without gung-ho

The Xbox itself tells me open while CoD says Moderate, so I assume the issue is with the game.

This might be due to the Xbone checking the regular ports (TCP: 80, UDP: 88, 500, 3544, 4500, TCP/UDP: 53, 3074), and CoD also checking TCP/UDP 3075.

That's my point. They're already way better than I am and the pretty big difference in guns (when I actually manage to kill somebody and I pick up their gun that I've never seen before, I mysteriously start doing pretty alright until I die and spawn with the shitgun) just makes it so that I don't feel like I'm practicing or getting better at all.
There is no big difference in guns. That's all in your head. Those guys who are dominating you would do so with just about any gun. The earlier guns are not non-competitive with the later unlocked ones.

So I'm hearing 2x weapon XP is also giving 2x cryptokeys. I'm getting 2 keys per full match so it might be true? Didn't pay enough attention to the usual rate to tell.

You get extra progress towards keys from winning and staying in the same playlist. Last weekend I was often getting two or three keys per match. That being said, Treyarch could have increased how often you get keys since then.

How can I join up with the Xbone community?

ID: ToledoTorpedo

I think as a group Xbone goons have taken to using Xbox parties and when one wants to find a group, just join an existing party and ask if they've got room. So feel free to join whatever party I'm in and ask if we have room.

Wifi (generally) has significantly more latency than hardwired, and I would imagine it is much more prone to problems.

Fast Hands

Not specific to your post, but I think it is worth pointing out to the thread that the Fast Hands functionality doesn't fully match up to the description. It doesn't actually allow you to ADS quicker after sprint, but allows you to hipfire quicker. So if you are using it solely for quicker ADS after sprint, it is a waste.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN6Qwauenwk

Of course, this guys tests could be wrong or insufficient in covering all combinations and this stuff could be patched later. I had assumed the Fast Hands allowed quicker ADS, so I thought this was worth sharing.
