I wonder how many people on earth get all cards legit, including the dark ops ones.

Earn a Nuke with 25 different Weapons (all Kills towards each Nuke must come from a single Weapon).

-> Yeah, won´t happen.
I haven’t even looked up what the dark ops are. Now I won’t bother after seeing that lol
 
This game would be 1000x better with sniper-free playlists, the cheapest, most useless, least skillful class in the entire game. If you have a high KDR and play primarily as a sniper than news flash, it isn't worth jack shit lol. Hang way back with little chance of getting killed, sit there picking off people one by one and never - I repeat - *never* help your team capture the objective, great job. Every team I play on has *at least* 2 and the same goes for the opposition, pure trash.



On another note I'm almost done getting Diamond camos on my AR's, playing organically, no bullshit, this is a game to be enjoyed not a job lol. Played zombies for the first time in a couple of weeks, got pretty far on Terminus in Directed Mode, might actually be able to solo it 👌

Funny you say it shouldn’t be a job. Often I say to my wife I’m off to work and then play cod
 
Agree as well that it’s not as good as MW3 as far as match balancing. I’m at Prestige 2 and I’m shelving the game until they do major work on this one. It needs a large amount of QOL changes already. Which, is a shame because the gunplay and graphics are really wonderful.

My top 5 issues with Blops 6

1: Spawns need massive tweaking
2: Team balancing overhaul
3: Maps need to be reworked
4: Netcode needs revamped
5: Fix the lag and rubber banding

I was really looking forward to this being my main FPS, but as it stands now, it’s not a better game than Cold War or MW3.

In fact, I’ve redownloaded Cold War to get my fix until they get to fixing Black Ops 6. And I’m a realist, we’re in the holiday season now and I don’t see those changes happening until the new year.

Not a better game than MW3?! lmaooooooooooooooo
 
That launcher kill at the end though lol



I'm now at Prestige 6, might go all the way for the first time in franchise history, speaks to how great the core gameplay of this entry feels 👌

Bought game pass for December. Played beta at 120hz. On 60hz release the game looks great. Sharp and just enough of color saturation instead of looking too colorful. Still missing cyber attack though. Hopefully it comes.

The multiplayer of MWIII is goated.
Oh no it’s not! 😀

BO6 is much better. As was Cold War. As was BO2 and BO3.

In fact, MW2 and MW3 (recent editions) are right up there as my least fave MPs. As with all CODs, there were certain maps and game modes they were decent on, but nah, happy to leave them behind.

Its not as good as III after a year of updates.

However BLOPS 6 is certainly in a better place than MWIII was at this point in its year no question.

Yea we’ll see how it goes. The maps are just shockingly bad imo. And the perk system has a lot of potential wasted. The way they handled recon wall hack was shoddy. How did they not perceive that being an issue in testing? I don’t think they realised stakeout would be as popular.

I'm finding it weird. There's no voice chatter, as in none. Never mind people talking smack. What happened?

Just a lot of free time as of late :)

And figuring out how to maximize XP gains while I wait for Season 1 Reloaded to roll around.

Best mind numbing no risk XP farm I have found is in Zombies get to round 15 and jump on the desk in the bank on Liberty Falls and all the zombies jump on the desk with you in a straight line, zero effort to rack up XP during double weekends

Just play HC the only way to play honestly, destroys the sniper class when you one tap them with anything from across the map that you never encounter them in games at all.

Played around in Terminus again with randoms, and remembered that Nathan turns into the halfway boss, and obviously dies if you succeed. It was such a long slog the first time around, I completely forgot who we were fighting. Same thing now, and we wiped on him after wearing him down for 30 minutes or so. It seems like the deadshot daiquiri and elementaø pop are essential for some extra damage? And a lot of research into the right augments. Ive just maxed out the energy mine, and a couple of the sodas. Its a LOT of work just doing the research.

On the other hand, Liberty Falls is getting easier, and Im building the jet engine without too many problems now on solo. Cant seem to find the deadshot and elemental vendors there, though.

Directed mode was a gold mine the first few days. I didn't think it was worth it after the first weekend though, they nerfed the xp even with 2xp tokens.

There's something weird going on with the 2xp weekend this time, lots of people are reporting on it. I'm personally waiting for it to finish so I can double up on the challenges for Afterlife and Nebula.

Never takes me more than a few minutes to kill him, fastest must've been literal seconds, if you have at least one person with a melee build, they can just stand in front of him hacking away while the rest focus fire; melts him super fast.

And yes you can only get certain perks on liberty falls from der wunderfizz which spawns round 25

Yeah they for sure nerfed xp really fast since so many people were farming it in Directed mode

I think by far now the best xp is in MP but that requires me to focus and sometimes I like shutting the brain off :)

Quick question: can you spent the tokens (that you got from Black Cell) in Season 2 or are they just usable in season 1?

This is always a bit of a risk. In the past you could I believe. But I wouldn’t risk it. This battle pass is super grindy

Its more of a preference with all these CoD "flavors"

MWIII is indeed a very good multiplayer game.

So you recommend to use it this season?
Personally I would use them this season. I wouldn’t risk it. Just so we’re clear, you are talking about the battle pass skip tokens yea?

what you could do, is maybe hold onto one as a test? See if it carries to season 2.
 

Calverz

Member
they don't carry over, the only way you could spend them next season is if you finished the bp before purchasing black cell
Ah ok this might be where I’m confused. One season I almost finished and then stopped playing until final day of season. I then purchased black cell that day and the tokens what were left carried over.

Yeah I have 20 tokens to unlock stuff that you need to grind out. I will spend 19 and try to carry over

Got to try the Sirin out in a few matches, and it feels awesome. Im no expert though, it just hit hard and with little recoil. (With 4/5 attachments that were available at lvl 1)

I wish that thing would get unlocked as I am too stubborn to buy the bundle for it :)
Yeah I didnt buy it for the unlock. Ive been catching up with Diablo 4 in the weekend, and only got to play a bit of CoD today.

The reticle in the bundle is kind of cool, though. It animates when you hit a target.

Probably holding out on unlocking the sirin as long as possible to get people to buy the bundle /s

Building a jet engine as a solo on Liberty Falls...

THIS is why I wanted to play this mode with people. I have no idea shit like this exists, and I'm not good enough to solo it. Also, for some reason NeoGAF locked this post into italics no matter what I do, so I'm just going with it.

With Directed Mode it’s fairly easy to do that stuff solo now, it guides you where to go and what you need to do

Change of pace for me: Time to praise Microsoft for something

Around early november I had to spend 2 weekends back to back away from home, so I had no choice but to sign up for Xcloud if I wanted to play BO6. I wasn't expecting it to actually work well but I was so shocked it was decent and basically latency free, no seriously, a data center must be nearby because I had 0 perceived lag.

However, it can improve a lot, Dead Space 2 was basically unplayable with input lag on a wireless 360 controller, and image quality is spotty, couldn't really see anything that was a bit farther away, like the liberty falls deadshot easter egg.

Queu times did not show up properly on the pc app, so I just stared at it for what felt like 20+ minutes, just so my mouse didn't work in-game and I had to restart the Qeue, it does show up normally on a web browser though.

Cloud is not the future right now, but it can be a way to play games with some drawbacks, let's hope MS removes the 15 mbps cap and use better codecs, that would fix my biggest complaint about IQ.
