Specialist seem like a bit of a damp fart. Now there's gently caress all player models and half their abilities are really underwhelming.

And how the gently caress are we down to three secondary weapons?

Player customization will be in the full game.

Oh that's good. Then I just want some more guns and more overpowered killstreaks. Not liking how the past few games have so few secondaries, made the maps so small you run into people within five seconds and nerfed killstreaks so much since MW 1/2. It was a lot more fun when most things were powerful even if some poo poo was way too strong and explosives were a bit out of control.

I wouldn't bet on it, MW was 'old' IW, and Ghosts is their rad new IP, so they'll probably keep going with it.

I'm more curious to see if they adopt numovement from AW/BO3, or if they keep it more restrained.

No CoD will ever be as good as old CoD without the AC-130 :colbert:

(and the real chopper gunner, gently caress those streaks owned)

This is what has disappointed me in every game since MW2 except maybe Black Ops 1. Yeah a lot of things were overpowered as hell and could have used a bit of toning down but it was a lot more fun with all the killstreaks. I'm only usually seeing a single air support a match.

Is there a way that vision pulse isn't poo poo? It takes ages to charge, paints a massive HEY GUYS IM HERE on the radar and is a lot more situational than most streaks and barely helps you in the fight against the players who now know where you are :downs:

Okay can someone tell me why the gently caress I get the Connection Interrupted thing on my end. I mean, it's usually when I fire it up but... well, what can at least minimize it?

Trying to imagine the chances of getting 2-3 attachment variants on one gun and lucking out so one of them isn't an invisible quickdraw/rapid fire.

Scorestreaks should just stay unlocked after your prestige so you actually see the high tiers. What's the point to keeping them as unlocks?

Aaa I've been missing out.

Tired of the rapid fire shotguns on PC. I think its the aim flinch when hit, its so easy to hipfire a shotgun with a mouse and there are really good CQB perks like tracker plus their range and flinch equals annoyance. Ok complaints over.

I blame the existence of Exodus, Havoc and Aquarium.

One of my favorite things in this game is shooting down every lovely Hellstorm missile with whatever dumb gun I have. I remember sniping one in blops 2 and being really proud of it, but it's still really satisfying to do even though it's trivial now.

I can't believe I never see anyone else ever doing it though.

Same. It's easy as cake but I very rarely see it being done :confused:

So the processing delay and 20 tick rate server->client updates makes the game best response rate slower than Battlefield 4's worst on a 30 tickrate.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RmA9Jd_SKg

quote:

The client-to-server update-rate is actually calculated as follows: cls.realtime - CL_GetLocalClientGlobals(localClientNum)- >outPackets[oldPacketNum].p_realtime >= 33. In other words, if "the current time" minus "the time the last update was sent" >= 33 (milliseconds), another packet can be sent. This is not performed in a separate thread, meaning the update-rate is strongly tied to the client's frame-rate. Likewise, certain frame-rates will result in a significant and otherwise unexpected change in network delay; a perfectly-stable 60FPS will send packets every 33.33ms (16.66ms, 33.33ms->), while a perfectly-stable 61FPS will send packets every 49.18ms (16.39ms, 32.79ms, 49.18ms->). Frame-rates are not that stable in reality, of course, but jumping between 60-61 FPS is common enough to create a noticeable inconsistency in gameplay.

It should be a similar story on consoles unless you are on a player hosted server.

Holy poo poo. That's bad if it's not dedicated... if it was on dedicated then that is a joke.

I've seen at least twice guys who should have been gotten by a conc somehow take no effect so I think there is a rare bug with tacticals.
