I got my gold camo for the Kuda today, happy with that. Kuda with grip, quickdraw, long barrel and rapid fire is my jam.

Well, finally prestige 1, and I permanently unlocked Ghosts.

I miss my Pharo and Spectre's Ripper though. It was a hard choice.

Also, once I am able to have 5 attachments again, I can get my gold camo for the Kuda

Ghost is pointless to me in this game, you show up on radar when you ADS for a length of time, I'll either get the razorbakc if I like it (a few levels away from unlocking it) or I will unlock Reaper as I love the Scythe.

So maybe you can answer this for me... what else comes with prestiging? There aren't other perks/weapons/attachments/specialists/etc. hidden potentially behind prestige levels are there?

Just cosmetic stuff, right?

Long barrel on that Kuda feels like cheating. I run the same but swapped RF for Elo Sights since I don't dig the stock sight picture. I keep trying other guns but go back to Kuda all the time. Its crazy on point at mid-range with the LB and easy to manage hipfire in close quarters. Love that gun.

So what is it that causes my gun to be highlighted in red? Is it when im spotted by the specialist who can see through walls? Or is it caused by sixth sense?

It's happened a few times and I've found its alerted me to the fact an enemy is near me and actually helped me get the drop on people which is nice but I would like to know what causes it

The former. It means the spec can see you no matter where you are. It only lasts a few moments so stay on your toes.

It's the Outrider vision pulse. You can also see on the map where they pinged it from.

Ah interesting! I think that makes the outrider vision pulse almost as beneficial to me as to them - I guess someone good would have the drop on me as I'll have a approx position on them but they will know where I am but even still I seem to turn the odds against people whenever it happens

This is when i start to crouch/stand as rapidly as i can and t-bag... or jump around like an idiot... safe behind whatever wall/building/cover i'm behind... then as soon as i'm not red and the vision has worn off i sprint away from where i was doing this behavior and quickly return with weapon ready... 9 times out of 10 i see someone there looking for me. Bait.

Why we need dedicated servers for consoles. It took my team three games to find a good connection.

Last night was brutal for us. Constant lag, with one hero running around killing everyone who can't react or land shots. Host migration a couple times, just an awful experience that finally made us quit playing. The network tool showed my ping jumping around from 45ms to over 400-500 and back down.

CoD makes enough to afford the dedicated servers, it's past time we quit putting up with the lack of them.

Just cleared the first mission.

There's something really wrong with the audio in this one. I've tried all pre-sets, and the audio, in general, is quiet. There's little to no boom, and the explosions sound restricted. Playing on PC. Anyone else notice the same?

Secondly, the male player sounds horrible. Terrible delivery.

You dont show up in radar when you ADS and walk with Stock on SMG ;)

I keep track of when UAVs are announced and make sure my triangle is faded when needed, meaning i cannot be seen

Apparently the kills with the Vision Pulse don't count for the whole duration of the pulse but only a short time after it is used, even if they are still red. Really sucks. I'll have to use it while following someone or something just to game the system.

David Vandalhart said there was something special and extra after prestige 10, but I dont think we know what yet.

Prestige is to keep leveling up. The way I see it is this, you are NOT done at level 55, there are 10 prestiges levels to go through when you are done.

You dont really get much, just a new emblem next to your name, that shows that you are either prestige 1, 2, 3 and so on. Meaning you are farther in the game.

On top of the new emblem, its just the satisfaction that you managed to be master prestige.

You get to permanently unlock one thing to bring over, and use whenever.

In a couple of prestiges you should be good with the set up you love.

It is addicting to keep ranking up, and as you go through it get weapon camo. Like I am working on Gold for Kuda, and then hopefully diamond

wait a second...so you DO show up with AR/LMG, but not SMG? wowwww lol
Click to expand...

I believe there is a certain speed in place.

While running, you are off the radar, same thing while walking without ADS.

However, when you walk while ADS with any weapon, you are much slower. For Ghosts, it appears it is too slow to be ''off the radar" and hence the game makes it so you still appear.

SMGs are some of the lighter weapons in the game, by default you move quicker with them, and so I found that the speed with Stock is fast enough for the game to consider it off the radar.

I am assuming with LMGs it is still incredibly slow, and hence you will appear on radar.

got Gold for the first launcher last night. didnt find it too difficult. Now i gotta decide if i want to do it for the other launcher as well to get diamond. It seems that the Blackcell is exactly the same as the XM-53 except it has 4 rounds instead of 2 and only locks onto equipment. Also, does this game have any rewards for prestiging, like permanent weapon unlocks or something similar to that?

Alot of the changes Treyarch made to multiplayer are so dumb. Rocket launchers no longer have any area impact. I shot one in a group of people and nobody died, that pissed me the fuck off. You might at well remove it from the game then.

2 hit melee kills is another one. I got to you first, don't give the slower player a chance to kill me.

Wait, if you ADS you're on radar? Like if you shot?

I am talking without the perk Ghosts, if you do not have it, you appear on radar with UAVs.

With it however, you do not appear on radar when there are UAVs IF you are moving. But, if you shoot, you do appear but only for that time you shot, if you want to be completely invisible then you need silencer + ghosts, and perhaps blast suppressor.

I've been doing just fine with Ghosts, I have been using silencer but I have now stopped, silencer really nerfs you weapon, and I am still really good without, just need to be more careful.

Ugh my input lag just magically came back. To avoid it since launch I lowered my settings to 1366 x 768 and low with everything else. Didn't look pretty, but ran great. I just tried to boot it up this morning and with those ridiculously low settings the input lag came back! I did update my Nvidia drivers last night (Fallout 4). Any chance that had something to do with it?

Why offer dedicated servers when every year over a dozen million people buy the console versions, despite them not having servers?

Your going to wear diamond?

That camo and some others in the last cod games are so cringeworthy..

I have not tested with AR and LMGs, but something tells me the same wont apply.

I can see pistols and shotguns being able to be off the radar with Ghosts and stock tho, I would assume.

They are made to take out kill streaks trying to kill people with a rocket is bad idea from the jump.

Had a pretty cool moment yesterday. It was on Hunted playing Domination. I was at B. There was a smoke on the middle of the bridge. I was playing as Prophet with the Tempest gun. I fired through the smoke with my Tempest hoping I was lucky and hit something. Just as I fired a Dart came through the smoke and I took it out midair. Felt pretty pro! :D

Some glaring flaws that I learned:

1) Long Barrel REDUCES max damage range on shotguns

2) The KRM has to hit with all 8 pellets for a kill if you shoot them past a measly 200 units (practically knife range)

Treyarch clearly put no time and effort on balancing or even properly programming the shotguns.
