I always used this combo in BLOPS2.
When I saw they were back, I kinda wet myself.Fiddling with distance is great for comical effect. If you place them together, the shock charge is useless and lessens the comical effect.
They just go off together or the tripmine destroys the shock if it goes off first.
Placing the shock a few feet in front of the tripmine just adds insult to injury.
First their movement and vision is limited, and then, 4 steps later, the final blow!
First you hear the shock charge go off... Then you wait while laughing like this:

I always laughed out loud when using it. It's a great trolling mechanism for Domination matches and rigging camping spots.
Jesus.
The Man-o-War is an underrated weapon. It's REKS shit. KN-44 + Man-o-War = godly.
I'm having far-far less of those crazy "deaths behind walls" or "1 bullet deaths" stuff than I had in Ghosts / Advanced Warfare.
Where I was "stuck" on a 0.5 K/D with Ghosts and even worse on AW I'm now doing 1.9/2.5 most of the time by just ... running and gunning. Suprises me that there's such a difference in netcode.
I've played Ghosts for 3 days ... Advanced Warfare for 6 hours. BO3 feels just right. Thank god ... I can finally put Destiny away!

How is it underrated when everyone says it's awesome and so many people use it?
By that logic every weapon is underrated, lol.

I love getting double or triple kills with the trip mine. It feels so good.
I got killed by an enemy care package dropping on my head today. I'll just hang my head in shame for the rest of the day.

I'm still grinding to reach the level for shock charges and trip mines. Love those as well. I'm also so glad you can throw grenades again instead of the "shooting underneath your arm" way in AW. Hated that!I always used this combo in BLOPS2.

I'm saying I understand now why people like to play hardcore cause I found it to be very very fun and a nice change of pace from core.
Most of the players on XBONE use an SMG. Some use an LMG because of the insane amount of damage per shot. I barely see the Man-o-War being used. Might be me. When people do kill me with an assault rifle it's usually the KN-44.
I just love how this game plays. Sure, online can still be a pain in the ass ... but it's much-MUCH better than Ghost or AW was. I noticed yesterday that, despite people having a "green" bar ... they still lag all over the place. Never noticed that before. With AW/Ghost I always had the feeling I was shooting a (no pun intended) Ghost.

Don't frown him, crown him!
Welcome brother, to the fraternity of Hardcore. May your soul find joy...
I started playing it last week and enjoy it way more than standard matches.

Don't forget people may not have unlocked, or I should say, have the ability yet to unlock, certain guns.
The Man-o-War is good, nice recoil pattern, highly accurate but it's rate of fire will scupper you when you come up against accurate players with higher RoF weaponry.
Maybe the matchmaking is better for you and that's helping you out. I think this game has the best matchmaking, I don't feel like there's been ridiculous matches and things are quite even which makes for good games.
I still would give Ghosts the nod on lag and hit detection, as long as you weren't on pure P2P, that was trash, but BO3 is very close. Better than AW and huge improvement over previous Treyarch games.
Omg I beat this last night and it is a nightmare in terms of game design.
-
endless spawning out of nowhere like you said.
-constant pressure from missiles, drones, robots and more
- inconsistent ai getting in the way.
- parts almost entirely dependent on what perks you have on.
- entirely luck based sections towards the end... Unless I missed something
- all of this I'm referring to that big fire fight in the square.
I didn't even get that frustrated, I was ready for it, I'm just more on awe at just how awfully designed it was, another moment in gaming where you picture the devs going "hey how do we make this hard? Ughh idk let's just put enemies everywhere and never let up"

I really wonder what the hell happened between MW2 and Ghosts (and now BO3... I guess).
The difference between MW2 and BO1 was night and day (to the point where I pulled out my MW2 disc on BO1 launch night to see if I was going crazy - I wasn't).
Then we had a long string where it was bad, BO1, MW3, BO2, all had shitty lag, latency, prediction, net code, whatever you want to call it.
Ghosts was like MW2 again. It was the first cod in years where I would tag a guy, count the hitmarkers, and move on to the next, certain that he was dead - because he was!
BO3 is... better than before. Most nights when we're on a server it's pretty solid, you just have to deal with the new 4 bullet ttk on a lot of guns.
Funny thing about HC now - it's closest in ttk to CoD4 and MW2.
Remember how hated Juggernaut was in CoD4? That's pretty much where we're at for ttk in core BO3.
I love how opinion shifts over time. CoD4 with Jug was hated, Ghosts was reviled for being too fast (actually just having not shit netcode), and now we're back to BO3 with it being as slow or slower than CoD4 with Jug and no SP on your gun.
I like HC a lot, but I really wish they'd do ricochet team damage as the standard, it avoids a lot of nastiness with players intentionally fragging each other.

I was a big hardcore player in Battlefield but not much in CoD. The TTK is already so low and the guns are obviously not balanced for it. I just walked around with a Sheiva one-shotting everyone.
LOL xD
Cool, glad you guys enjoy it
But I find that you already die really fast, and there SHOULD be some means to escape and survive a gun fight. The balance is also not there.
Anyways, I tried it, but I feel this game is meant for the normal core
Yeah I have no interest in Hardcore. Normal TTK to me is already very low.

Did they reinstate the respawn timer in HC? They had it on launch day but they took it out last time I played.
I remember in Black Ops 2 Vahn asked the community if they wanted it or not, as if there was a choice. Not the same game mode at all after that.

Agreed, it has become my favorite game mode. The point totals are extremely good also. Especially when you are awful like myself, as it's nice to grab tags and get points.
I don't play Domination solo as it becomes a lesson in frustration for me who loves to get captures. Nobody seems to want to play as a team. When my friends are on we rep Domination pretty hard though.

I love kill confirmed because so many people ignore getting the tags after killing someone so I pick them up and get results like this:
Note my kills and confirms and score compared to my team-mates.

Use the Kinetic Armor. It's made for HC

I've played this game a lot and I don't think I've ever seen anyone use the Haymaker. Argus is pretty awesome, but if you miss one shot and you're up against an AR or SMG, then you're screwed. It's probably easier to use on PC.

I got Storm camo for the ICR last night, it looks amazing. They charged money for a similar camo in AW. Blops 3 is da best.
For the first time ever I saw Kinetic Armor last night.
An enemy came out of a door I was aiming at and I started Shooting and then These weird WOOSH CLANK WOOSH sounds started playing as my bullets hit the armor.
Was pretty crazy :O

kill confirmed as a game mode also yields some of the highest potential SPM
(thanks to the GAFer that keyed me in on that a couple weeks ago)
went from like 250 average playing ground war to 600-900SPM games playing KC
Exactly why I like playing it. Especially for not being that great at the game. I just need some more seat time and I'll get back in the swing of things.
Right now it's a struggle for me to break even.

Do you lose all camos when you prestige in this one?
When I see a tag in KC, I usually wait a bit to see if there's an enemy that's going to pick it up or is watching who will try to pick it up.
This helps a lot. Lots of times, it isn't just grabbing the tag the moment that you see it.
Nope.
Yeah, that was the big learning curve for me. I would run around shoot and immediately grab tags. Not anymore, I've become more methodical because a lot of times people just use tags as bait and not only do they grab your tag but the kill denied also.
Great point!

Completed 4th mission in Realistic last night.
Doing a chapter a day so my teammates and I dont rip each others heads off.
Alot of "Why are you over there?!", "Stay close to each other!", "Why didn't you say there was ammo over there?!", "Use your Cyber core and stop trying to Warrior everything!"
Watching all of us proning around like some super wussies is also hilarious Lolol

Cool, thanks. So basically you just lose your weapons / unlocks, nothing else?

I wish i could even remotely get into Fallout. Elderscrolls games are amazing... but damn... id rather eat sand than play a Fallout game ever again. lol
BO3 isnt going anywhere... take your time and enjoy F4!
even if they removed it from showing in Dom itself it would probably still count towards global KD, and it would still be a problem

Yes, you only lose your level unlocks.
However, if you are going crazy to 100% complete this game, there is a Dark Ops Challenge that requires you to do a Fresh Start. The Fresh Start option WILL make you lose every single challenge, emblem and calling card except for the ones you got from cryptokey boxes and the reward for actually doing the fresh start. Obviously, you should do that one at Prestige 1 Level 1 to lose the least amount of progress.
