Call of Duty: Black Ops III |OT| No Content For Old Gen

BiGBoSSMk23

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.

Yea, definitely love the balance here. They addressed the TTK issue perfectly, as well. I rarely run into insta-deaths outside of headshots now.

Gorgon is good as is, imo, but if they touch it, I hope they just neuter the range. Surprised no one has caught the Dredge yet. That thing is a one burst kill regardless of range.

Are headshots insta kill for all weapons?

I know this is slightly random, but does anyone have any idea about how many people use a M/KB combo for games like Black Ops 3 (or any CoD for that matter) on the PS4? Is that even something the PS4 allows? It seems like I've already run into a couple of players using a mouse (no other way to explain how damn fast these guys were at aiming and pulling of 180 degree turns in less than half a second)
 
Um, I can't connect to online services and cannot resume campaign, only start a new one. What the hell?

Happened to me as well. Sometimes the servers are offline. Strange thing is that even though my campaign was SP, for some reason it's linked to online. After about 15 minutes online was back and was able to resume my campaign. Tip: while waiting do some local custom games against bots: it's fun! :)

Vespar is 100% going to get patched isnt it? Its too good.

Annihilator is a great specialist as well. Feels like Golden Gun from Destiny

Some people play with high sensitivity settings on their controllers.

I just started trying out the gorgon last night. Man, that gun is ridiculously good. As someone who generally isn't generally great most of the time at CoD multiplayer anymore, that gun makes life a lot easier lol.

Just finished the campaign.

Good gosh, what the fuck?! I was pummeled brutally for 10 or so hours with some of the most horrendous writing and voice-acting, laced with an incomprehensibly terrible plot. What the hell, Treyarch? I've sat through some bad writing in games, but damn, this takes the cake. Excuse me while I go and get a drink and forget this. Utter nonsense. The plot makes Genisys look tame by comparison.

I really, reaaaally wish they had used the specialists for a zany albeit "realistic" story .

Their worst offense: It's painfully boring. I have no idea what they were thinking. Their past singleplayer campaigns were great.

Man, I am awful on that roof top map. Doing pretty well otherwise.
It showed up for the first time last night and I have played like 12 hours already.





But you unlocked "Get 10 Kills with the Tempest" and you didn't kill 10 guys there haha

Holy shit I did. I don't remember EVER hitting anyone with this thing. WTH?

I haven't played the campaign...yet. But yeah i do like the specialist in MP they have nice background stories to think of it that would make a great campaign i do agree.

I haven't seen very many LMGs outside the gorgon. They are always used less than other guns anyway. I just find them a little too cumbersome for my style.

I find the key to balancing the TTK is the kind of maps you have. Ghosts died on its horrible TTK to map relationship. You want the possibility for outplays but you want to give the kill to the person who earns it.
 
I never see anybody talking about the zombies. Is it any good? Worth paying $43 for the game for?

It's 4 player right? So is there some kind of match making and if so is it easy to find 3 other people to play it with?
 
I never got into zombies (horde modes aren't my thing) but for some people that's all they play. It's like never ending content if you're into it. Best with friends I think.

I just did some testing on long barrel with the Argus using offline mode in split screen:

1- Effective landing a hit is increased to more than without long barrel by a good amount

2- BUT that ADS'd shot doesn't kill the enemy

3- At the same range that an Argus without long barrel can kill, the one with it can't kill

:/ So you can kill weakened enemies from a little further with LB, but can't 1HK at the same range as an Argus without LB. Using LB, the name had to show up before I could 1HK.

Will test it with KRM and other Shotguns next.
 
Go through the rift and into the pack a punch area. You can train for days in that place since you have a trap behind you and you can call in robocop by going through the rift that leads to the footlight district. By round 15 you'll probably also have the wonder weapon. Pack a punch that and you are pretty much set to go as high as your heart desires.

It's much harder with 2 players to do a round about, I've found. I'll try this though.

Train near the canals. Stay on Jugg and do them rituals so you can unlock Pack-a-Punch.

I always complete the rituals early as it's easier, I just suck. I'll try this as well thanks

How about SMGs, is long barrel worth it with, lets say, the pharo?

I will try it on the Kuda and Pharos.

I just finished the KRM one and it increased the 1HK by like half a meter... Looks more like a feet lol :/ So damn sad.

Bercci next then a couple of SMGs.
 
So is there a consensus on the best specialist yet? Top 3?

I've only seriously used outrider and the 54 immortals girl but they both seem alright. Fun to use but both not very consistent, especially the annihilator revolver. Feels like a HC from Destiny with how inaccurate it is sometimes.

I think I'll probably jump on Reaper until I get the knock off ninja guy for his camo.

That's what happens when the 1HK range is already abysmal, it minimizes the usefulness of long barrel.
