So, I'm honked off. This title is rated M for Mature. Profanity and other colorful metaphors are usually involved. I had made an emblem that was a blue "Hello my name is:" sticker and the name was "Bitch". Yeah, it got reported and I'm told if I get reported again, they'll ban me from using it. Really, for "Bitch" in a game that contains much worse profanity?

Mmmkay.

Immature, yes, but I was having fun with the emblem. Offensive? Hardly. Only thing I can think of is that after a few rounds of me ending up on top and the fact that I'm on the microphone on XBL as a female, people reported it.

So this makes me wonder, do they actually check those reports to see what the offending material? I only ask because my friend made an emblem in BO2 that was a toothpaste container squeezing out onto a toothbrush with an O face, that was banned.

Just doesn't make a lick of sense to me considering the rating on the box.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I've reported emblems that I've found offensive before. I've already reported a few Nazi swastikas and if I see any I'd report ones containing dicks/nudity too like I always did in BO2. Though luckily I haven't seen any so far.

Stuff like yours though I've never reported.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

No one better report my Cookie Monster emblem lol.

 

[Durden77]

Wait...so if I do exo survival local, does it not count towards my online progress?

What the fuck. Me and a buddy did like 70 waves last night on Bio Lab and unlocked tier 2, but none of those stats show when I go online, and tier 2 is still locked.

And that's what really annoys me. There will be much more offensive emblems that never get reported or ones that are fun without being lewd or totally profanity laced and be left alone along the same lines as mine!

Obviously it's good to get rid of the Nazi ones and other hate symbols (I've seen trees and people hanging unfortunately), but really "Bitch"? C'mon man!

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Many women consider bitch to be just as bad as racial slurs, so maybe one reported you. Though its more likely some misogynistic dudebro reported you for killing him.


As for the challenges resetting on prestige apparently it wasn't suposed to be in the last console patch, its coming in the next one. The patch was split in two on the consoles.

 

[NintendoGal]

Probably a dudebro and they probably removed it because of what you say. No one bats an eye at the near naked females on emblems though, just mine!

Just came here to say this. I played more than 225 waves across all maps in LAN/offline modes and to my surprise I didn't get the zombie stuff and also didn't unlocked the maps on online.

Really stupid move to separate everything. At least the maps should be available now in online. Well, I guess I'll never have the zombie stuff.

Yeah, just found out this morning that you should do private match and not local.

I tried to do tier 1 using the map exploit on Retreat, but the last enemy always hides behind a pillar. Doesn't help that not all enemies swarm towards you as well.

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

i must be a wierdo then, i have the most trouble getting good K/D with this weapon

Im the opposite, but yea, its pretty much the go-to for any tryhard atm.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I hate how the game will be fine for one match, connect to the next match and be laggy as shit, and then sort of normal the next game, be fine the next and then be shitty. Just... christ...

Check out how I ended this match, lol:

It's almost as if it's by design. It's either incompetence or deliberate sabotage to compress the skill gap.

I don't know what this is from, but thank you! I needed the laugh.

I'm starting to think it's this more and more based on SH's silence. Maybe it comes from above them, but they can't be this oblivious.

I really do think the other guns do need buffing, especially other assault rifles. I do agree on giving the ARs weaker hip fire because they would be more cumbersome to move around and fire, but the SMGs should be better because they are more compact, lighter and easier to control at the hip.

 

[NintendoGal]

In Hardcore TDM, an AK should NEVER give a hit marker with a headshot, let alone THREE. It's not only happened to me on various occasions, but to those playing in the groups I wander with as well.

Does anyone feel the MP is just too fast? I really struggle to do well in this game, normally come out going negative because of people killing me from behind or up high all the time and I have no idea of how to improve. That's the most frustrating thing. I've been pretty consistently good in previous games but AW...something just isn't clicking. It's so hard to kill people who are jumping and boosting constantly. You need to use Assault Rifles or your k/d will plummet. My K/D is so much worse than any other game in the franchise, usually bottom of the team with a terrible score. Very frustrating.

this is going to sound weird, but if it feels too fast...slow down. walk more, sit still for a bit, keep a watchful eye on the map. until you feel comfortable, don't rush. don't go into open areas unless youre absolutely 100 % certain there are no enemies nearby

At the beginning of the match, let others rush ahead and follow behind them. Learn where the conflicts begin in each map and pay attention to where the enemy is when it starts. most importantly, don't get mad because someone killed you and then rush back out to the battlefield. that's just asking to be shot up real fast.

It is fast and frenetic but that's why I love it.

Like Freedom says, it's not the only way to play though. You can crouch, take your time and keep a low profile and catch the crazy people by surprise if you want.

Try playing an objective based game like Domination if you're not already. Don't worry about K/D, just focus on defending flags and going for enemy flags where there's not already a bunch of shit going on.

Slowing down helps very little in a game where you get shot in the back every time you stop for more than 3 seconds.

I'm pretty sure there's a revenge spawn system. I keep dying and then getting immediate payback.

[Newlove]

Okay thanks guys. I have tried slowing down my movement, but it doesn't help much. Instead, I'll try and navigate the maps a bit differently, stick to the edges and work my way around. Let them come to me and be in less obvious spots.

Taking a look.

 

[Alchemist]

I'm thinking about trading this in..

Was the latest patch on PS4 supposed to fix the connections? I know it's only been a week but MP feels like Black Ops II all over again (unplayable).

 

[Lionheart1827]

Last week my buddy and I did a private match and did a test. It takes three headshots with us standing right next to eachother with the BAL to get a headshot. Its such BS

EDIT: This was in regular match and health, not HC

[Vol5]

urgh. Decided to give the MP game another chance but I just end up feeling cheated and quitting in frustration.

The maps really are my biggest issue with the game, lag aside. There's too many lanes into everywhere and you never feel as if your in control. One has a hall area with a craft hovering that has SIX corridors as well as a glass roof that people can shoot at you through. How is this fair by anyone's standards? Greenbelt - shapes for shapes sake and again a myriad of ways around the map. Zero flow. Anyone can and will get you from anywhere. Pretty much all the maps are designed like this. They are just too open. I'm sick to death of being gunned down from anywhere I care to go. I'm watching a door and some steps and another door, but it doesn't fucking matter because I've been shot from above. I consider myself an above average COD player. I learn the maps, understand the choke points, take advantage of certain areas....there's nothing like this in AW and it's probably due to the exo suit. I'm not even sure you could successfully merge the exo suit abilities with tighter maps....

I'm out I'm afraid. I'm level 44 and I've given it a fair shot. It's getting traded in.

you apply using the companion app

found and applied, thanks alot!

 

[Storm Raider]

Alright I'm fucking done with this stupid ass game.

Lag out the wazoo all the fucking time. Worst CoD netcode yet.

I really miss CoD4.

 

[FairXchange]

Bal-27 is the best gun in the game hands down. Great damage, good RoF, amazing range and recoil, etc.

All you need is probably Extended Mags, Stock, or an optic and you are set with that gun. Its only downside is not having more ammo honestly.

Its probably going to be the first gun on the chopping board when SH has to address the bad gun balance.

It's definitely the best gun, I haven't even bothered with anything else. I hope they don't try and nerf it or something, it's great how it is.

Dont let the frustration get to you, you get into that mindset and you may as well turn it off because you'll get your ass handed to you. If you get killed multiple times in quick succession, specially when starting a session, try laugh it off and keep going because when it rains its pours and you start getting clusters of kills in a row if you keep at it.

i hope every other weapon gets buffed, all of the weapons need to be useable

I decided to say fuck it and Prestige. Hopefully by the time I make Prestige 2 they will have patched the camo progress.

I wish driftor would stop avoiding shotgun talk and just do a video on why most "shotguns are op" people need to stop ruining the shotgun class.

Exactly. Stop asking for a BAL nerf when we need an everything else buff.

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I remember local play has never counted towards online progression? That would just cause people to sit in local with a split-screen and boost their stats without actually doing anything

People will do anything to punish you when you're on top. do poorly and I can assure it will never get reported, ha.

if the bal had to be nerfed, i guess make its hip fire have less accuracy, thats it

I got a game stopping bug in the the Greece Mission. As soon as the cutscene ends, I am sitting at a table with a woman and as soon as the woman looks at me, the game insta-freeze with a looping buzzing sound.
