Do not buy this on PC, Ghost and AW were abysmal ports. Black ops 3 fixed things a little with proper dedicated servers and PC betas, CoD:IW will not be a good port and I can garantee it.

Already has ton of lag problem on consoles, I shudder to think how it will be on pc.

Rumor has it that the beta is completely P2P, which could explain the netcode fuckery. Question is will the game have dedicated servers. Tried googling that and no answers came.

Why were you charged $129 for that. Are those Australian moon dollars or something? I thought it was $100 usd.

Canadian money, but we're nearing parity with the Australian dollar soon!

Just to give you an example, IW by itself costs around 90$ with taxes.

blops 3 is the best next gen cod so far. I still think blops 1 is the best overall cod game.

MW2 is the most broken and I loving love it.


Edit: I'm gonna admit it, I got the season pass because they said you get more daily rewards if you own it.

Yes I'm terrible at good purchasing decisions.

Anyone know if there was an official response as to why the character models for MP in IW are faceless, sexless, featureless killing machines of indeterminate origin?

The popular opinion, from what I've noticed, is that most find the character to be bland as all hell and incredibly boring. I actually like this way more than the black ops 3 model but if you saw my taste in movies and games you'd notice I am a massive edgelord.
Faceless mercenary that just does his/her job and being good at it is what I find cool in a character, even if they're silent and featureless.

I have absolutely no interest in CoD multiplayer, but the SP looks awesome. Is the SP for MWR worth the extra $20 for the digital legacy edition?

Well they kept all the cheats you get from intels and arcade mode, and it really is a much better looking cod4 (especially at night). I'd say yes.

Today I had a much better experience with lag, I was able to win gunfights and had a pretty good time.

Now I'm at a point, however, where I don't know if I won because the fight was fair, or because the lag advantaged me and the other team had to deal with terrible delays/instant deaths.

Went against my better judgment and decided to get cod points with the 15$ credit PSN promotion from october and I am now convinced I have the worst luck. I got jack poo poo, only common and rares :smith:

Got cheated out of a double xp near perfect game due to dumb garbage on part of the game, love it. It's funny how mad I am about this right now.

Got my first epic gun, avalanche pistol.

It's actually not that bad when paired with a sniper, it's a good "oh poo poo" weapon. I saw some of you use the Ripper RPR-Evo variant, how is it?

Bonby

The avalanche (epic emc) has been really nice for me, the burst is fast and fires 7 rounds.. Slapped on the headshot thingie and things melt if they get near me.. It's a excellent secondary weapon when I'm using a sniper or something more long-ranged oriented.

Edit: Glad to hear the ripper has better fire rate in smg mode, that's what I mainly use anyway. I only need 4k salvage to craft it and I'm nearing it.

At work, but I'll assume you mean Canada in general.
I'm used to that though. Me and the QC tagged psn/xbl gamertags have always been lumped in with the Northeast anyway.

Anyone with a QC tag next to their name must be ridiculed and laughed at. Even as a quebec scumbag I am forced to do so.

Also, it's frustrating how IW has yet to make changes to keep the population playing. The Crates have loving awful odds and the daily rewards are INSULTINGLY bad, they need to fix this by january or else this game is done with population wise. As for the lag discussion, I find it embarassing that activision didn't even bother having a west coast server in Canada considering the millions they make off this franchise.

I personally quite enjoy the look and overall weapon/character designs in this, the gameplay's is good too in my opinion. I just hate how little salvage we get with dailies and the number of duplicates I am getting with Rare boxes is insane despite me not having even played over 20 hours yet.

This is a personal gripe at the end and I do feel this is a overall better system than AW as a whole and early BO3's.

Bonby

I'm so, so close to getting enough salvage to unlock the Ripper variant, can't wait! As for the new variant I'm really looking forward to the new R3K.I don't even mind the increased recoil, it will make it easier to use at closer ranges which this game seems to be all about.

I agree on all your point Javes, though I personally still find AW to be terrible. I'm fine with BO3 and IW's system, the problem isn't with the jetpacks for me anymore. It's more the drop rates of the crates and the huge ammount of duplicates I am getting despite not even owning all that many camos/guns to begin with.

Game wise I like IW just as much as BO3, I hope they find a way to keep players.

Great games yesterday, I think server hiccups have been fixed for me, though from the server map people posted a few pages ago, I live on the east coast so I'm near NY's location.

Now what I'm wondering is does; the MACTAV (ump) have no aim assist? It feels strangely hard to keep my aim on a target. I got no problem real close but even at mid range I start being innacurate as gently caress.

People wanted an alternative to microstransaction heavy cod titles, welp now they got hosed.

Sorry for leaving earlier tonight, I got kicked out of the game and the ps4 refused to let me send messages to any of you in the party, saying "can't connect to the server".

Had a decent night but dear god ground war is filled with the sweatiest of little shits I've ever played in this. Whole teams of nv4 fallout hoping for a nuke. It was beyond unfun.

Props to the guy who took the ball in defender so he could hide in a tiny corner while his 8 stream buddies formed defensive lines for him, really brought that arcadey shooter feel that CoD has.

Mosquito bitched about a bad crate so I opened one.

Hello, Ripper. Is this still good?

I think in smg mode it is fantastic at close range, it's the scorpion of the game and I love it. In AR mode I think it MIGHT be weaker than its RPR regular counterpart, seems like the 3 kill range is cut in half on it for some reason. I could be wrong on this though, I'm only speaking from my own experience with the Ripper.

Javes posted:

I'm almost certain the AR Ripper is identical to the other variants. It shoots at the same speed as them so I don't see why they would nerf it's range. The reduced idle sway is very helpful, that alone makes it probably the best RPR variant. Been running it with ex mags, makes getting double kills easier in smg mode.

Idk I feel like I've gotten far more 4hit kills with it at ranges where I thought the RPR would hit 3 hits, but that could be me.

I mean who are you guys going to listen to, the french canadian who never talks or javes who's almost near max prestige. Imo I'm the better option here.

i forgot to mention that propulsion/rewind is probably the most vital element to my attempted nuke class. you get 90 bullets and typically I run out of ammo right as rewind replenishes. not only does it give you an extra point to put towards God's Gun but it can potentially get you out of sticky situations

Oh yeah I forgot that rewind gives you everything back! That's a very good point.
