It also helps if you just hide out for a while so that the people who run out and get killed don't gently caress your stealth camo up.

yeah actually they will

It's fun but it's not as good as splatoon, the only other console online shooter game I've regularly played

I really like cloak and dagger it's super tense as either side. I'm surprised you don't like comm control, some of my sneakiest moments have come from it.

untrue... my best stealthy moments were in comm control.. both in point defence and in sneaking up behind someone manning the turret and taking them out before they ntoice me and then gunning down the entire rest of their team

bounty hunter is nothing but people in d walkers and 5 guys in stealth camo trying to CQC him, from what I've seen.

Yeah. Splatoon is also better than Goldeneye 64, the previous last console shooter I've regularly played

I thought automatch searched for lobbies of people around the same level as your highest level guy, but it actually matches you with/against people at the level of the character you join the game in... Which means if you select a level 1 character in freeplay you can join a lobby of really low level people and switch to your high level/equipment guy to stomp n00behs.

I discovered this when I created a scout and joined a game where no one was above level 4, except one level 31 guy on the other team going 22-0.

I should probably focus on ascending my Infiltrator before the patch hits because they're going to get curb stomped rofl

Wow that's a lot of cool changes. I like the Removed CQC Icon because I remember knocking out completely invisible enemies by accident because I was close enough to them that the icon popped up

Also you didn't highlight by far the most important changes which are the CQC icon being removed and now only infiltrators with a certain skill can do the CQC slam

Teammate 1-5: Oh no, a big balloon... and even worse, it's our team's colour! We should all leave cover and shoot at it
Teammate 6: The rest of the boys will probably get a kick out of my roommate playing rock band drums on our apartment's second ps4 - a real morale boost - so I'll leave my headset mic next to him as I mash the dive button

I'm really happy that Konami is supporting both MGSV and MGO3 post-release, and that most of the changes seem to be for the better.

Multiple sources reporting work on MGO was moved to the Japanese studio the day after the console release. Apparently the team still working on the single player & FOBs is in charge of this too
