anyone else been using overdrive exclusively since day one? going on prestige 3 and I haven't even bothered to unlock any of the other specialists/abilities
 
So, I'm interested in buying this, but I was wondering if this game had a competitive ranked mode? If so, does it have Tiers and Divisons and such? I wanna see how good at CoD I am. :p

Yeah it has. It's called Arena. You have everything unlocked, eSports rules, pick/ban ect. Has divisions and tiers in it. Similar to BO2 league play but better.
 
SP spoilers
I read a thread on reddit that said you were actually reliving Taylors memories before you died.
Completely flew over my head. I'll give it credit that actually changed my thoughts on its quality. Though to me its still not a Black Ops game.

SP Spoilers. But, actually, South Park spoilers as well. So, all kinds of SP spoilers:


I feel like the newest episode of South Park is doing the Black Ops 3 twist as a joke better than Black Ops 3 itself did seriously!

Seems like the Weevil has survived. Phew!

Glad I transitioned away from the Gorgon, it was super powerful but just not near as fun to play that slow.

Thoughts on the ICR-1 assault rifle? It's what I was using before fallout4 came out?


Believe some of you where mentioning using the HVK?

Survived what? If anything it needs a buff. Pretty weak, and gets outclassed by every other SMG.

Survived the first round of weapons downgrading.

I actually like it better than the other SMGs, I don't even know why :) I agree that it needs a bit more stopping power.

If anyone wants to play tonight, shoot me an invite. PSN: xinoart

I tend to play Ground War alot. I don't like playing small teams and one game mode gets to me after awhile. Plus I don't really care about KDR. I'm fine going 6-28 if I get alot of caps and points due to my Black Cell taking out air support constantly.

I have the 2nd most amount of kills with it, but it needs a boost for sure.


First game since patch, Ground War 10v6.....
 
I wouldn't go that far.

If you're trying to shoot a guy long range, it'll lose but I've found that it does well in close to medium range counters. The firing speed and burst almost eliminates the lag disadvantage which is huge for me. If the Vesper had a Weevil sized clip, it'd be the best hehe

Not only that but it CAN beat AR from long rages, you are at a disadvantage sure but you can. For me grip + stock helps a ton, I'm so fast with ADS that AR miss shots and I land mine

Holy shit. No idea what treyarch did but the ps4 it's unplayable because of the lag. People are warping all over the screen.

But hey thank god they put the leaderboards in so everyone show off how great they are.

This game is just broken. Every goddamn time I shoot someone first i get 4-5 hitmarkers then die. Every fucking time.

Sweet, do I need to be a certain rank to unlock that? Or can I jump straight into that game mode without even playing regular multiplayer/campaign?

uhh, did the patch fuck up the game for anybody else? I just tried to play and got literally 3 crashes in less than 10 mins

You can jump right in, it's very slow though - with all the pick/ban turn taking but it is interesting - if you are super try-hard, it's the mode for you.

Not sure if challenges and stats carry between Arena and "regular" MP (so you can unlock title cards etc.) but I think they do.
 
Was the 1.03 update wonky for anyone else on PS4?

I had auto-updates turned off, and went to play the game tonight. I was then told it needed to update, so I played offline. I have just as much fun playing against bots anyways, in free for all.

I kept checking the update's status, and it seemed to take forever to "get ready to download." It sat on 90% for a little while. Then, when I checked 10 minutes later, over 2 gigabytes had already downloaded.

That didn't make any sense, given the status and the fact that my internet sucks and it'd take an hour to download a nearly 3gb file. Or close to it.

Also, does anyone else really enjoy just playing against bots?

Lol, game was finally working fine yesterday, but now after the patch it's completely fucked.

Matchmaking doesn't work at all, and the game keeps crashing back to the XMB.

Great job, Treyarch.

Played about half of the campaign so far. No sure why some people hate it so much. It seems like your typical COD campaign. Enjoying it so far and I'm not even playing it co-op.

Story seems interesting enough to make me want to find out what happens. Maybe my mind will change once the mystery is unraveled. :)

I must be lucky. I haven't had a crash at all today. I just had one last night when playing with Jorgejjvr, long before the update.
