Haven't play this game since December when what seemed like all of my other friends fell off. Picked it back up yesterday after some more incredibly frustrating MCC multiplayer and I totally forgot how much I loved this game. Are any of the DLCs worth it? I'm not real into zombies (although me and a group of friends had a pretty fun time playing the survival stuff), and am really just looking for some new maps to freshen up the experience.
Also if anyone's down to play anytime, I could use a new group of regulars to play with. I'm on East Coast playing on Xbox. GT: TheOnlyMook

Just found out that the Goliath doesn't count towards the 4th Killstreak Challenge, so I was just wasting time destroying people with it. They really need to be more descriptive on how to do some of these challenges.
The first dlc was really, really good.
The new dlc adds a new gun and the grappling maps. I'm still not sure what to think of them. I love the grappling hook but the maps 'so far' dont feel the same quality as the 1st dlc and the original maps. Now I see why they left out the grappling hook I guess assuming it forces them to make weird design decisions
Zombie mode is great fun and I'm all burned out on zombies all kind of ways. But I love the banter between the professional voice actors and the little story they have going. Havent done zombies yet in new dlc but will try soon.
1st dlc was for sure well worth the money. 2nd dlc will be worth it too I'm sure.

Sounds like I might as well just pick up the Season Pass in that case. All the DLC maps look really good, and I'm sure they'll do some interesting stuff with the future packs. Thanks for the roundup

What were Sledgehammer thinking with this free gun. It's seriously OP, every single person in my matches last night were using it.
Hopefully it'll settle down as the novelty wears of but I was getting ripped apart with it.
Anyone else having problems or should I just git gud ?

I've noticed a lot of people using it and making long shots. Like clear across the map.
You talking bout ohm? Thought that came with the new dlc.
I thought it was OP at first til I realized there are two different modes to it: shotgun or AR mode. Seems like it might be ok
It does get overused tho a ton. That right there is very fishy indeed

Nah it's a hand gun of some sort, it's like a Destiny hand cannon or Halo CE pistol.

It's in the special category, as a primary weapon, free for everyone I think.
Oh right it's just on Xbox right now, forgot about exclusivity.

Full disclosure.. I buy the same game on multiple consoles. So had AW on Xbox One, and picked up the AW Gold Edition for PS4. Have to say that this game is pretty awesome on PS4 with the controller's speaker sounding off when opening supply drops, etc. Just a nice touch to add to the game!
Any zombie players unlock the "hidden" video? Who do you think
is going to get shot? I feel like Kahn (Bill Paxton) is the most obvious choice, since he's a higher ranked Atlas employee compared to the others. Or, maybe no one and the survivors get away and end up being on the run from zombies AND the Sentinel soldiers.

Trailer for new DLC. New maps actually look pretty cool, aesthetically speaking anyway we'll see how they play.
Zombies spoilers in the video tho, if anyone cares at all.

Another remake, sorry, reskinning of a favourite map from another CoD game that will not play anything like the old map because of the AW flea jumping mechanic. No thank you. so glad I did not buy the AW season pass.
This doesn't surpise me, in the video the SAC1.5 even has dual wield in third person view. SHG are lazy fucks. It just seems to me like SHG have been used as a canary for testing out the monetisation of CoD and how well the playerbase takes to it.
Wall breaches? Nope, we wont fix those but here have a free pistol instead.

Wow, so SHG are now removing content from the game under the guise of 'retiring' some weapon variants from supply drops and ASD's.
What the hell.

Still the Bal Obsidian Steed and ASM Speakeasy really, although the Magnitude (my new class is grip, extended mags and advanced rifling) is just as good.
I seem to also stick to 95% use of the HBRa3 Insanity at the moment.

Lol what
Oh well, if they retire a weapon people liked, I'm sure they'll give us the option to buy it with real money!

One thing I wish they would do is let the Clan wars rewards carry over with every COD.
For example; Body Count camo, gear and helmet in Ghosts->Advanced Warfare->Black Ops3
Would add a nice new layer to customization, especially if those rewards aren't given out past the release of the next COD.

Question on prestiging in AW..
I want to get the Blind Eye calling card, which calls for 200 destroyed enemy controlled streaks while using Blind Eye. I have 63/200 done so far. When I choose to prestige, does that rest to 0?
Also, each gun has a calling card for 500 kills. Does that also reset when you choose to prestige?
Thanks.

Yes, all calling card challenges will reset to 0 if you are within 1 to 15 prestiges. After the 15th Master Prestige, your calling card challenges will not reset, each time you prestige.
I know this because I've been Grand Master Prestige for a while now. (still no Insanity! )

Dang, I might just have to stick out it so I can get that calling card.
Tip: Use Exo Cloak because it shortens the stinger's lock-on time.
Also, shoot down UAV's and see if that counts toward the challenge. I think they must of patched this one.

Yeah, UAVs work. I might have to try that exo cloak. Thanks. Taking out the stinger and getting that lock on takes much longer than in prior CODs, so I welcome anything to boost speed. Would fast hands also help? I might gotta try that too.
Fast Hands would definitely help. Without it, it takes a lot of time to switch to the Stinger. I would say turn on Exo Cloak first, then switch to the Stinger. You will notice a huge improvement in speed.
Another tip is to play Ground War, as there are a lot of streaks being called in constantly. However, it can get chaotic at times, especially in Ground War Domination.

Here's a rundown of every match of domination; System Hack, System Hack, Warbird, System Hack, Warbird, System Hack, System Hack
It's a total shit show, it's impossible to play. How many fucking stingers do I have to shoot at a warbird, because more than one is too fucking many considering all the time that goes into a missed shot. Hopefully Black Ops 3 can do a better job.

You forgot all of the bombing runs.
One of those nights playing AW that felt like it was taking way more than usual hit-markers to kill - but very few to kill me
Hate nights like that. At least the TTK seems to be raised in BO3, so we may actually have a chance to counter.

Hopefully we get the beta soon (as in some point next week) to try it out. I'm loving going back to the old CoD's recently, CoD4 & BOPS II were a blast when I played them on Saturday. Going to try MW2 tonight.

Just played my first game of CoD on console and did OK actually, 16 - 8 in TDM. I've played every CoD, but on PC, so aiming with a controller is totally foreign to me. It seems to take awhile to find games though, I guess it's because I don't have the DLC. I mainly double dipped to see if I could play CoD on console which I can apparently so I think I'll get BO3 on PS4. I have to say, CoD feels way better with a controller than any other shooting game I've tried on PS4, no idea why, maybe it's the 60fps.

I love AW on PS4 because of the speaker in the controller when opening supply drops, exiting out of menus, etc.

Funny you should say that, I hate it, it's so loud and distorted. I had to lower the volume of the speaker
Been playing for a few hours and it's fun, but different. I'm not going 50 - 2 any more, more like 15 - 10 and being pleased with that lol. 9/10 of my kills come from game sense, so once I get used to aiming with my thumbs I think I'll start doing a lot better. Definitely going to keep practising on AW for BO3. It's nice being able to join Ground War without the high probability of meeting a rage hacker.

I imagine BO3 will play totally different to AW.
