I was just venting from a terrible night. I literally could not pull together more than two straight kills. Just nothing went right. And I finally got myself a care package, looked on the mini map and saw blue triangles where I was at and proceeded to mark a spot to get my package.

Out of the blue someone from the other team kills me and takes my package. The rage I felt last night was something I haven't felt playing an FPS game in a long time.

I'm not really having fun with the game. I think I'll finish the SP campaign and trade it in while the value is still relatively high. I try everything but I am constantly dying. I use the exo and run and jump around the map, I die. I slow down and take it slow and camp a little, I die. No matter how I try to play the game I'm just not succeeding.

Unfortunately SH has done the unthinkable and essentially allowed only one playstyle. Anyone not running and gunning is going to be severely punished. You know it's bad when they've added a counter to suppressed weapons, effectively killing stealthy play unless you go melee only.

It's too late to vote with your wallet, but by trading it in you're preventing at least one potential sale they'd get. I'd normally say take a breath and wait out a patch, but there's simply no way they can fix the issues present without a huge, huge overhaul, which has never been done before.

Must be a glitch. I played on Veteran and never experienced anything like that.

Just unlocked the tier 4 map in exo survival and played riot. Shit those zombies are fun and the cutscene preview for the zombie mode was hella awesome. Definitely gonna buy that DLC once it hits.

One last achievement left, playing 50 exo rounds. Eh I had enough of the mode. I will just do the cook grenade and die method.

what is this about cooking grenades and dying?

Netcode is killing me today. I'm jumping all over the place like goddamn Nightcrawler with 3 full bars. All I need is a *BAMF* sfx to make it complete.

The latency range for 4 bar must be huge. I'm west coast and I play with a friend on the east coast. We rarely both have 4 bar btut in AW we're pretty much always 4 bar together. When I'm 3 bar it is pretty much unplayable like you experienced.

Here's some, for the most part, hip firing gameplay while playing TDM at Comeback. I believe I did well. Went through a little drought but I racked up a few kills since the last death.

were you throttling your connecton/were you the host or how did you manage to win every gunfight you came into?

At the start of the match just hold down the grenade button and let the grenade cook. It will explode and you die, thus ending the match. Easiest way to get 50 rounds.

Lol none. How do I know if I was host?

 

[shungokusatsu]

Lol none. How do I know if I was host?

You'd be the first in the room and gave 4 bars. But being host is not a good thing, it means you'll get the heaviest dose of lag compensation. Throttling your connection to make tour ping and connection overall worse, helps tremendously.

Did anybody get a destiny blacksmith shader for preordering the game? I didn't and realized I really wanted one since I play destiny more. If anybody has one to trade, PM me

Love that hipfire is viable...but I really think AR's shouldn't be able to be that way :/

I hope default SMGs are viable/superior to your setup, as I know you are using perks/attachments to get that hipfire down.

Good gameplay though!

 

[Rhaknar]

anyone knows any "fixes" to crashes? the game just suddenly started crashing all over the place in the

Spoiler

aircraft carrier

level after the

Spoiler

san francisco bridge

level, this is Ghosts all over again and I really dont want to have to rollback my nvidia driver again, it was a pain to do last time

its really bumming me out because I was loving the game. also that level in general seems to run like ass, I had to turn off supersampling completely to keep it at 60

 

[Hey_Blinkin]

Is anyone else with a digital ps3 version having freezing issues? It's really killing my enjoyment of this game.

Nice, what 13 did you pick for your load out?

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Had the most fun I've had in this game today running a shotgun setup, it felt like old CoD again. The amount of abuse I was getting was hillerious and honestly added to my enjoyment.

Those guys take full clips on Normal too, they're annoying as hell. I don't really understand them. They don't carry any better weapons than their comrades, they just have better armour it seems...so why didn't Atlas just give that armour to all it's troops?

 

[v1lla21]

Thanks!

No problem. Kf5 sucks for long range though. I've not tried any other gun besides the HBR and that helps for more range. I'm sure you can do better with a different weapon though. This loadout suits my style of play more than any other I've tried.

 

[TimeEffect]

Oh wow, you were actually using an SMG. I gotta try this

 

[v1lla21]

Yup yup, I switched over to the HBR late in the match because I kept getting taken out at long range. I did manage to get a long range kill with the kf5 though. Lol.

 

[Jblanks]

Can't wait until the buff SMGs.. among other things.

What's the balance like now?

I know it's an AR/BAL-fest, but what's the balance like now?

Worst mission in the game too imho as it exposes all the worst aspects of friendly and enemy AI.

Your friendly AI are worthless in this game

Stages like this is your typical COD just get to the checkpoint forget shooting

 

[Gorillaz]

The KF5 is fucking legit friends

Yall should try it, SMGs still have some life in them

 

[LowParry]

Well that was an interesting campaign. I enjoyed the first half more than the last.

Quick video I created using the gung ho/tac 19 class I use. I'm starting to integrate sliding kills with this. So much fun.

[woen]

I hate people using the invisibility ability, but I looove to kill them, even if you can barely see them. Most of them don't know how to use it by the way. Or don't know how to the exo moves, which gives you an advantage when you are moving across the map.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Veteran is like regular mode in some older COD's .

I think in general it's a fair challenge. With CoD's Veteran you either get that or you get the shit that's just cheap. I'd argue that Treyarch are especially guilty of making cheap campaigns on that difficulty. WaW's ridiculous grenade parade or the hallway from Executive Order in BO are good examples of that.

I've yet to see any cheating on PC. Bad luck I guess.

 

[StewboaT_]

Just completed the campaign on normal and didn't receive a trophy or an exo for MP. Glitch?

 

[NormandyVII]

Anyone else think it's the easiest COD on Veteran?

Me. I'm breezing through it on Veteran.

Nothing from a supply drop expires other than XP bonus or Care Package which gets used up the next match.

The items that expire are ones you earn for completing certain objectives, such as 5 headshots in a match.

Strange. I've had multiple Bloodshed pieces expire after a while. Both a shirt and several of the helmets that I've gotten a million times.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Me. I'm breezing through it on Veteran.

I thought Ghosts was easier. The only part I remember giving me any trouble in that one was the first mission where you have to shoot the chopper out of the air.

 

[RS4-]

Strange. I've had multiple Bloodshed pieces expire after a while. Both a shirt and several of the helmets that I've gotten a million times.

The bloodshed helmet expires after 30 mins, but it refreshes or you get one every time you get a 5 kill stream.

There's a nice mask if you get 5 headshots in a match, but that one expires too.

Those aren't coming from supply drops.

I am loving this game on PS4. I am suffering from some major controller slip though with the DS4's. I ordered a set of Xbox one sticks for one, and some "gel tabz" for the other to see which I like best.

Anyway.... onto a complaint

Why does the voice chat in this game sound like it's straight out of Socom for the PS2? You've got absolutely amazing quality with any chat program on the PC nowadays and we are stuck with this in 2014 on the PS4?

Oh, I guess I just don't understand the bloodshed items then. Do they give you any bonuses?

Hackers in multiplayer on PC are making this not so fun for me....

I have a nice gaming PC, and this was my sole reason really for buying the Ps4 version.

 

[RS4-]

Aesthetic. Aside from the bloodshed helmet and the skull mask, I believe the only other item I had expire was a pair of gloves.

[Recall]

Can't play multiplayer, says service not available :/ on ps3 by the way and it booted me mid-game

 

[Brian Fellows]

I don't think so. I think they are just another way to "show off". They're pretty pointless.

Just got booted out. "The Call of Duty Advanced Warfare service is not available right now. Please try again later."
