3HK on Kuda was about half a meter? longer with LB than without it. I didn't notice it on 4HK vs 5HK...wasted a lot of time there trying to find a difference. I don't think my testing was broken, but I saved a video jic. It didn't seem worth while on Bercci as well.. So tiny I didn't really notice it because I kept thinking that my pellets missed or something, but their spread looked fine.
Anyway, thanks Treyarch? ._.
Trying Pharo with LB now.
Yes.

Damn, I consider myself to be good at games in general, but the Zombies mode gets pretty damn tough after a few rounds. The fact that leveling up takes ages doesn't do it any favours. I find it to become repetitive pretty quickly, which is a shame because it's pretty cool all things considered.
I'd say it's completely up to preference, though some are definitely inferior. If an ability only helps you make a single kill; it's not that great. I've just been using war machine. It's really good in Domination and Hardpoint, and also sometimes when enemies are grouped together or behind walls, though on some levels in TDM it's pretty useless. The Scythe, the revolver (whatever it's called) and some other high-level stuff that I've encountered seem really good.

Long barrel on the Pharo is not worth it as well. You get a lot more recoil even with a grip that missing one bullet will make it necessary to shoot another burst. The difference in distance was so small as well.
Sooo Long Barrel is not worth it on:
- Argus: Don't use it unless you don't like 1HKs for some reason
- KRM: Yay for about a feet increase..?
- Kuda: 3HK vs 4HK is so small that you're better off with something actually useful like laser sights tbh. Didn't notice it on 4HK vs 5HK
- Pharo: See above in the same post
At least I know I won't bother with it anywhere near I thought I should before testing it like this. If anyone wants to try testing or do other weapons, just grab another controller and do split screen under Custom games.

I've gotten so bad at this game it's not even funny. The moment I switched from VMP to other SMG's it all went downhill ;__;
Find myself ADDICTED to landing crazy trick shots and going 100mph. Most of the time getting myself killed of course
This is why people shouldn't be using 1 or 2 weapons, especially if they're the more OP ones atm like VMP, Gorgon, X2, etc., because once they get patched, many people will be struggling.

Yeah after spending so much time with VMP I decided to go for Diamond SMG's I noticed a huge difference in TTK. VMP has really created some bad habits in my play style..

So in a game thay doesn't have terrible lag, how often do you die in one shot?
Does movement make it easier to out maneuver enemies?

Sometimes it feels like just one shot, but several weapons kills in one shot anyway.
Depends, jumps are so slow, as well as wallrunning, that most of the time you'll get shot down. Sliding may help, but I believe that the auto aiming helps so much that unless you're that near you'll get killed too.
(Also everyone and his mother are using awareness, which makes fast movement inviable unless you are a truly good)

Played a couple missions solo on Realistic, it's not that bad, World at War was much harder on Veteran with endless spawns and frag spamming. Blacks Ops 1 on Vet was harder than this as well. With HUD and all the Cyber Core abilities it's makes it so much easier.

That's not the highest so far on Steam, I've seen 60k+. Nothing in comparison to PS4 but really great for our community which is usually much lower.
Never.
That's lower than I was expecting.

FWIW BO2 on PS3 peaked at 1.3 million.
What ? That's way higher than I thought, especially with Fallout 4.
Really, reeaallly loving the MP so far. Since I've unlocked the Man-o-War, I've been doing really well. Using 5 attachments (will use 6 when I level up, and get Rapid Fire & Long Barrel added in). Used 6 attachments in the Beta with Rejack and I did amazingly well.
Opened a common crate thing and managed to get a Common (can't remember), Rare (Vesper Camo) and Legendary! (Seraph head) Well happy with that.
Haven't even touched the Zombies or Campaign yet.

Never, and I'm just about to prestige (lvl 55 at the moment)
Speaking of, I still have not made a custom emblem. I should probably get around to it lol

Really liking the game, but these 7 on 5 match ups are complete bullshit. Why is this even a thing? That, and sitting in the lobby because one empty slot is filled by 3 clan members who join, making it a 14 player game, then they sit there rather than leave.

I just realized, that NO ONE uses the Argus, like in 10+ matches I was the only one, and I don't think I saw more than a very few in all my hours in MP.
Which makes me feel very cool, when I manage to do good with it.

Only when trying to play Zombies online and also the campaign. Actual multiplayer works fine. I mean, besides the lag. And the matchmaking. And the menu glitches.
Because it takes a long time to unlock? Give it time, most people haven't even had the chance to unlock it yet.
Hasn't happened to me yet, but I've only played I think 3 sessions, for about an hour and a half each time.

lol it takes a while to unlock it....
...but I did use a prestige token to unlock it permanently! lol. It just feels like an awesome weapon..especially in hardcore.

Depends on the weapon. High Caliber on the XR-2 can drop people fast from afar if you have good aim. I am nearly done with the headshot camos for the weapon because of that attachment alone.
KN-44 and Man o War are 2HKs with one headshot I think, so they can kill fast with good aim too. Weaker ARs won't be as fast as the aforementioned ones. My friend claims the Shieva is a one shot kill to the head with High Caliber, but I don't believe that.
But most of the SMGs have less damage and less range, so headshots won't drop you as fast as the ARs. Kuda is the only one that will drop you in two shots with a headshot.
It is hard to see exactly how fast without stats, though. We don't know how much High Caliber increases the headshot multiplier and some weapons have multiple damage dropoffs instead of just one, like the Kuda for example.

Best reason not to save crypt keys for the rare pack, because I was doing so and just EDIT: lost 28 of them. Common from now on, never again.
Yeah, I experience this too. Usually once a day randomly in a menu, or doesn't connect to PSN (if I bring my PS4 out of rest mode immediately into BO3) until I close the application and restart it.
Actually yesterday, the game straight crashed twice. Once during an actual game, and one right after a game ended during the scoreboard screen. Weird.
I would replace the war machine with the ripper and the tempest with the purifier.

I've seen a lot of high level players around mine, they don't use it.

Yea, learned my lesson when I had 38 of them and used it on the Rare pack. Was immediately disappointed.

Oops, was supposed to say lost.
Don't know how it happened, was playing online and earning them when I suddenly finished a match and my count went from 28 or 2.

I'm still trying to piece together the campaign story. I read everything I could find online about the story including a pretty detailed thread on Reddit and I still can't wrap my head around it all. I have accepted many facts that I missed on initial play through thanks to the work of others yet I am still lost. Very interested in knowing but lost.

got an amazing looking camo from a crate, just called storm and epic quality, it's black and has like lighting and clouds moving across it
sadly it's for the 3 burst pistol -.-
also finally got fire dude, man that purifier is just crazy, did hardpoint, had 3 or 4 people rushing from one direction, activated and burned them to a crisp and then a few seconds later 2 more came and easily stopped those too
loving the game so far, will probably buy the season pass at some point next year assuming PC population doesn't crash too much

Speaking of that, are there any cons to the other attachments (except obviously the silencer)? Like are there any negatives with using something like quick draw?
