Bit of both honestly, I can do this sort of thing with other guns it just feels so easy to do it with the Haymaker. It's really overused on PC, most KC lobbies are full of people using it so I wouldn't mind it becoming a little less popular. The weapon balance in general is great in Black Ops III IMO, you have so many viable options.
I've never seen this map before, but I've only been playing FFA. So I'm assuming some maps are not in the FFA rotation.

Jeff Goldblum's overacting is excellent. Shame that I barely ever get Nero.
I've never seen that map either, I play everything, and have had the game since launch. They need to fix how the map choice works, because I see the same maps every day.

this map is fucked for me on PC, my red dot sight always disappears, some texture bug, only happens on this one...
The buffs/nerfs were very small. Guarantee all the weapons that got nerfed are still very usable.
Also I played GW DOM on Breach earlier and got 25 defends lol. Pretty sure the enemy just has to be close to a flag and not actually on it to get a defend.
If anything it needed a buff due to it not killing someone with point blank shots.
I'll never understand this
Most people are saying stuff like "I have no idea what the nerf/buff did" after trying the guns again.
People over react so bad to this stuff. THE DINGO IS GONNA BE AN AUTOMATIC GRENADE LAUNCHER NOW
You know the developers have been for the past 5 years

Idk if its placebo effect or not but I hooked up my PS4 to my gaming monitor and damn I'm rocking now.

The closer you are to the center of the dot in the middle, the faster it goes. But yes, they totally doubled the time it takes to hack, and that's on top of major scorestreaks now taking 3 hacks.
The M8A7 is pure garbage. It was a two shot kill in the beta PS4 beta, an absolute monster. Now it takes 6-9 shots to kill. Utterly useless after the complaints.
Gonna have to agree. Even point blank it takes 2-3 shots.
Lower ms and smaller screens always help. It's why the pro divisions use monitors rather than full TV sets.

What was the exact nerf they did on the XR-2? The ADS? Seems little wonky after the nerf
Cod campaigns are usually good. Modern Warfare series imo set the bar for set pieces, beating even uncharted. Had great music too
I'm only a few missions in but I had to read the in-game wiki to understand what was happening..

essentially your character has been dead since the end of mission one. You've been living out Taylor's life as a dream.
And I've heard that you become visible on the radar whenever you use it. There might even be a comms message notifying you that someone is hacking your scorestreak, but I forget.
Ugh, I never even wanted it to steal UAVs or whatever. It was fine how it was in Black Ops 2. I just want to counter equipment and the like. The stealing scorestreaks is neat, but the nerf hammer friggin killed it's actual effectiveness.
This is why I hate it when folks complain about every little tactic that they don't use/like.

It's funny, Black Hat went from Garbage to amazing, something worth having, to immediately useless again because oh so precious scorestreaks were getting stolen. Fucking babies ruining everything. The trade off for Black Hat is you lose your tacticals, which are very good in this game. They might as well remove it from the fucking game or at least make it a specialist ability when they add more down the line.
Treyarch shouldn't be so quick to nerf shit, even if it's minor. Haymaker, Gorgon, whatever. Nobody fucking uses them! You'd come across one game out of 10 where someone would stomp with them and people would be screaming OP and broken. It's ridiculous. You take weapons that would otherwise be ignored by the general populace, make them fun and good to use, but oh fuck no! They can't be better than ARs or SMGs! Heaven forbid something compete with them!
That said weapons fulfill their roles better in this CoD than any other. Just sick of this "THIS GUN IS OP nerf it cuz I died to it!" bullshit.

I think a problem, based on what I saw you doing in the gameplay is just how forgiving it is. In some instances you would miss two or even three times and still get the kill, and in others it allowed you to pre-fire without really knowing where the guy was going to be. You can spin round and fire without any consequence because if you hit, that's great, if you don't, you can just keep firing and you'll probably hit them with a slight readjustment.
In that regard, it's not necessarily overpowered in terms of its potential, but rather just a bit too easy to use.

Somewhat, yes. But they have gotten much better since BO1. I remember when they wouldn't bother to fix guns or certain perks in BO1 because the same people that kissed their ass were asking them to keep everything the same. Luckily, they learned what to take out in BO2.
M8 was OP in the beta. It was a 3HK and had a very short burst delay. Its now a 4HK and drops to a 5HK and keeps its great short burst delay and some of that so I don't see how its garbage.
Like I said some pages ago, I wouldn't mind if they altered it here and there, but the other burst fire weapons were good as is.
Egh, I wish. I haven't tried it with the Sheiva, but rapid fire hardly seems to make a difference with most weapons. I miss my FAL style AR.

I understand how the haymaker could be considered OP on PC, but on console it needs a buff if anything.

Dunno if I should still spoiler this but that fast scrolling text before every mission is written out as if Taylor was writing a diary.
This read through kinda sorts everything out. I was actually playing as a female and the whole Kane thing was weird but now it kinda makes sense.

Cool, thanks. Will read up on this. Bonkers shit.
And just when i thought the story couldn't have been worse, there is this
Damn
. Oh well I'll see when I unlock the weapon and anyhow the SMR was also a favourite of mine in blops2. The sheiva better be worth the wait lol

For those having trouble with that Outrider "Rapidly kill 2 enemies with vision pulse, I just completed this challenge with an easy strategy.
In the game I just played, we had A and B. My teammates decided to cap C so that right away told me the enemy team will spawn A side. So I waited near A flag until they started to take it, used vision pulse and completed the challenge.
You really need to kill 2 people VERY quickly. I can see why people are having trouble with this one.
In other challenge news, I completed the set of Killer challenges, which got me this animated calling card:
Pretty excited to have my first animated calling card, lol.

I actually got more disappointed when I found out about the text before each mission. Hate games that waste important points in the story on tapes or something that BO3 did.

Did anyone else just stop getting crypt keys or whatever they're called? I just noticed mine has been stuck at '0' for the past hour

A couple of my friends have had that issue. Restarting the application should fix it. Servers have been really bad lately.

This reminded me of how OP the Purifier is. Compare the Purifier to the Gravity Spikes for instance. Those two are not balanced at all.
Compare the time it takes to earn each.
Nickdogmoneycash
Member
Do you have the numbers anywhere? Either way, they aren't balanced at all. One gravity spike is at BEST worth 2-3 kills (very rare), where a good Purifier will give you at best 10-15.

Opinions and all. I thought this campaign was pretty damn great.
You're not pulling 10-15 kills with a Purifier, neither is anyone else
