Went back to the brm after trying other weapons. Works best for my playstyle

I'm done trying for the double Vision Pulse kills for now. It's way worse than the bow and hard as fuck to get kills that count. Much less double kills. Someone boost it with me lol.

Whenever I wanted to get kills with a certain ability I'd just play chaos moshpit, most people vote for nuketown or combine, it's so tight that it'l be hard not to get your ability kills fast. Couple that with the Overclock perk so it replenishes faster and it's a breeze.
Same here, loved that mode and pretty much played it exclusively with a bit of Dom. I've been playing a bit of Domination but mostly TDM this time around, first time dedicating this much time to TDM since MW3.

Yeah I'll have to try different modes. The issue is that the time to get them is so tight. It's less than a normal double kill and less than the associated challenges

It really is an excellent gun.

I feel like its the other way around, honestly.

I kind of just want to stop playing the game until they fix the uneven teams. It happens to me way too much. 7 vs. 5 on Combine is horrendous.

I've been going after the Outrider challenges as well. Been playing HC Dom. Might be easier for you there? Maybe?

Maybe I'm misremembering, but Momentum was basically 'War' from World at War wasn't it? Minus the cool battle chants and the German commander yelling at you.
They should bring back that game mode. It's fucking great.
Look how amped this is with the German commander: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT7Zgfkz0IU
I swear, trying to get glitch kills is a struggle. It feels like you have less than 3 seconds to find someone after using it. And I still need 14 of them.
Got the Argus earlier. Holy fuck. I'm not gonna get too attached. I'm sure this'll be nerfed. At least hoping that the current range is what the range'll be like with long barrel.
Getting these kills with my specialist weapon/ability are a pain. With Vision Pulse, I have to kill the people immediately or it doesn't count. Can't even get a kill with the sparrow and I'm always getting shut down before I can find anyone.

Just got the Chain Killer medal, which is a Dark Ops challenge for getting 9 or more rapid kills:
..and here's a video of this medal.

Just you, abilities netting me A LOT of kills

they likely:
1) know the maps well and rarely if ever head in the middle, which usually means a quick death
2) have a set up for each play style and use certain guns for certain maps
3) use the mini map as a guide to understand when spawns are likely to flip
4) patrol an area.. Camp the end of a hallway, pick up a few kills, move to the other side of an area, check the map to see where your teammates are, anticipate the other teams movements based on this and the general flow of the maps.
That's what I do anyway and I'm at a 1.3 kdr (and climbing).
So anyone know if there's a site out there to view your stats in past CODs? was just thinking back to BO1 and couldn't remember what prestige I was, but apparently they got rid of that call of duty elite that showed you a bunch of cool stats on their website across all games.

Yeah with the Vision Pulse you have to get them in some arbitrary time frame. It even doesn't count when they are still red. It seems bugged or an oversight to me.
just more luck :|

Going to the U.S, hoping to get a good deal on BOIII.
Anyways, I still have my reservations as a fan of the older COD games (Modern Warfare 1 and Black Ops 1), but I am wanting something to enjoy in MP.
My major reservations are:
-Low TTK. In combination with lag, I dislike those situations where you drop like a fly to weapons other than snipers. I am surprised to read that Ghosts was ever lower and hated for it.
-KDR still being the dominant thing every pub match ends up gunning for. I feel like this game would be perfect if they FINALLY got rid of KDR tracking in objective games and instead made W/LR the only thing that is glorified as much as KDR.
I'd go crazy if I play pub games, but seeing as a lot of my friends are playing COD, I am super excited to play to win those objective modes.
-No Team Tactical. I feel like this was THE mode where players competed in parties with each other. They were always so intensely intimate and fun. Especially since it cut down on players, so there was more predictability and map control.
Have you guys played "Arena"? It looks obnoxiously long to set up, but at least there is a 4v4 in there.
Anyone know if there are any stores with potential sales in Philly?
I can't believe that THIS is the year I finally decide to jump back in. Every year I've chickened out, and I'm actually happy I did as AW and Ghosts looked like a waste.

It's not that hard if you're generally good at fps / cod and you don't rush out like a headless chicken. Hell, I'm getting scores like 14 -2 in something like search and destroy
So this just happened. Don't know whose aim is worse.. Mine or his.

Had a crash playing campaign coop with my friend tonight. After that even powering off both PS4's I could hear him on chat but he couldn't hear me. Did another reboot and it worked but then messed up again where I could hear him but he coudln't hear me even though it shows the mic icon talking. Weird how it started that after game quit to dashboard even after reboots.
Press on the directional pad. Only works on the "top 3" screen at the end of a match

Online campaign still isn't progressing for me. Shutting the system off, making sure to quit and save from the safe house, nothing works. So I moved into multiplayer and hopped into a few kill confirmed matches. Sheesh, I'm awful.

I think it should stay the way it is, otherwise I can see it becoming more of a killwhoring fest than it already can be. Plus a deluge of lethal killstreaks would make that particular mode pretty miserable in my opinion.
I'm 3 missions away from the end of the campaign, and I'm actually liking a good bit of it. At least the what it's going for in story and the general gameplay rules which is probably the most exciting gameplay in a COD campaign to date.
But there's a lot of problem with it. Just waves and waves of enemies and some really frustrating parts. It's obviously meant to be played in a grindy co-op fashion.

It's only like one piece of clothing thay does that.

I found that out a couple days ago, the Dredge is probably the best weapon in the game. I was trying to keep that on the low though, now it's bound to be overused and then nerfed

Zombies is a blast but it's hard. I didn't like Tranzit much so I didn't play a lot but I loved the OG zombies from WaW and Black Ops 1 so I know how to play, I just find this map to be a lot harder to move around without getting stuck on something or without some clown ass zombie popping up outta nowhere because of all the windows that you can't board up when I'm trying to run a train.
I fucking adore the atmosphere though, I think I want a 40s call of duty playing as a cop in NYC.

I noticed!! Yesterday I was complaining about the omission of those modes.
Bought Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, it had to install.
I thought "Might as well try a round of HC tdm".
So I started BLOPS3, checking files, downloading..... Surely not....
I choose Hardcore and BEHOLD!! My precious modes were back! I was so happy that I forgot all about TR which was installing in the background.
Where it took me a lot of Normal matches to reach level 6, it took me 3 Hardcore KC matches to climb to level 11 with all the XP bonusses I got for my killstreaks, Revenge, Kingslayer etc (which I never got playing Normal mode)
Now I leave level 50 players behind me.
I'm so used to Hardcore, that I just can't play normal modes anymore.. This shit just made my weekend a helluva lot better. I was SO bummed I didn't play it since launch day.
Now I can enjoy MP again.

Holy shit the turret in this game is obscene. Got one in a care package on Redwood, posted it up as over watch on B flag in the two story building on A side. The fucking thing picked up 13 kills before it was blown up omg.

Wasted about 30 minutes making this stupid emblem.
That's awesome!
weird thing is, cod 4, w@w and mw2 had the most deadliest weapons.
with Stopping Power a lot of guns only needed 2 hits to kill.
but still for some reason, you seem to be dying a lot faster nowadays.
That's because time to kill doesn't necessarily equal time to die. It might take 3 bullets for a kill, but that could translate to an insta death on the other player's end because of the shitty netcode.
Older cod games didn't have this issue.

But with dedicated servers, is this still a problem?

You can still have shit netcode and shit lag comp on dedis. A dedicated server is only good for the bandwidth it can pump, not how the code is written.

Wow, played a Kill Confirmed game against a team that left when they got killed and then rejoined so that we couldn't get their tags. I've never seen this since it was introduced in MW3.

"Dedicated servers."
Having difficulties finding a proper loadout. Im at rank 20 so havent even unlocked them all. Im mainly using Kuda but Im just not feeling it. I liked Gorgon but its so slow and people are parkouring around like crazy so most of the time Im dead before Im even ADS. Love the Haymaker but it needs a very tight space to function properly. I had this one game where I ended up 2.7 KD with the Haymaker and scored a truckload of scorestreak enders with the Blackcell. Usually I end up with hardly positive KD cause Im too slow. I mainly play objective based modes so I dont care of my KD that much but it is a lot more fun to kill shit than to get rekt all the time.
