Agh I see it now.

Was trying to do it through the specialist menu. If I choose that though will it just unlock the purifier or will it give me access to Firebreak at level 1?

I'm curious how you'll go about unlocking everything by 10th(?) prestige if you only get one permanent unlock each time you prestige. I had over 30 items still locked and all my regular tokens spent at level 55. Maybe at prestige 10, you just keep getting regular unlock tokens once you hit 55.

Prestiges master everything unlocks, no tokens needed.

Only the Purifier with Firebreak. Heat wave will still unlock at 55 or whatever it is. But Purifier will always be yours as long you dont reset your stats.
What use is Batteries Kinetic Armour? I dont think it's ever helped me to survive its completely useless.
It's pretty good for Hardcore

Did they just make UAVs take two rockets to shoot down? The past three games I've played it's been taking two.

e: Just me, ignore!

No, they only take one shot.

Maybe you fired before you were fully locked on.

Edit: Sorry, misread "three games" as "three times". Maybe it's a bug?

Yeah it's just me never mind. I keep seeing people shoot it down with 1 but after prestiging my default launcher is taking 2 shots 100% of the time? Oh well.

Back to hacking!

Just not feeling the Pharos at all

a burst-fire SMG is such a silly idea
Ughhhh tell that to the burst fire Chiquom from Black Ops 2

That was a weapon once wielded by the dark lord Lucifer himself , that thing was such a damn beast, add rapid fire and you became basically a walking wood chipper, it ripped people to shreds
 
Yeah? I fucked it up so bad that my routers IP is totally different from the forwarded ports IP's, it's a hot mess

In your manual, see if you can do IP Address Reservation and if you can, assign one to your PS4. Then open the port UDP 3074 for your PS4 IP address.

You want to open the port only for your ps4, not your entire router.

The easiest thing to do is get your PS4/Xbox IP address go to routers address for its settings and go to port forwarding/dmz and put your consoles IP address into DMZ and profit.

So anyone else having issues on PS4 not being able to play zombies online having it just sit at gumball machine page where it starts looking for matches?

The balancing between rounds is mind-boggling.

Kill Confirmed, finish 16-5. Second match of KC, finish 9-25. Replays just show inconsistency of what I see before I die, compared to how I actually was killed.

I am playing on PS4, tempted to see if it is different on Xbox One.

I just finished the campaign, good god they somehow ruined sections I kinda liked.
I liked flying the VTOL but everything else in that level was boring. Life was one of the more interesting levels but its so much nonsense to the story. Corvus causes all this chaos but he's survived all this time with sheer luck and somehow Taylor is the good guy despite all this shit he started? Give me a fucking break. I don't understand how Treyarch goes from a pretty good story like BO2 to something so horrendously written.

Edit: I'm not even done, I'm still enraged about this story.

While this is supposedly the player taking Taylor's role, having that relationship with Rachel makes a bit more sense but even then, that feels like such a cheap twist. It barely or rarely ever seems to be hinted that that's possible but rather goes all over the place with the 54i, whatever the fuck goes on in Egypt, and Corvus. Even Black Ops 1 had a lot of subtle hints towards the plot twist of that. The Mission title ala Dead Space, the clothing Mason and Resnov wore, etc.

Also, is it only literally two small references with Nova 6 and a minor nod to Menendez that Black Ops 3 has to do with the rest of the series? It seems far fetched and stupid as well as the random death of Rachel.

Both launchers take out uavs and counter uavs in one shot.

Why is the Theater Mode so half ass compared to BO 1 and BO 2?

Because the consoles now have built in share functions. Still doesn't replace what's missing though.

Still no excuse.

And what about pc?
Do they want us to use Nvidia shadow play or amd plays.tv?
And then you still need some other software for editing.


Same with stat tracking, way worse than it was before.

Like to know what weapon, equipment and killstreak killed me the most.

These story missions feel like they never end, especially while playing on Realistic where we have to move cautiously. 6 more chapters to go. I kinda like it so far.

False alarm. The Kill counter does in fact show lifetime kills and raising the FOV actually let's you see it in first person. Yeah!

I don't think it's completely useless, but it definitely could use a buff. I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like getting shot at reduces its duration, making it more like an extra bit of health rather than a full-on body shield. If that's how it's gonna be, then, it needs to charge up much faster than it does currently.

It should act more like the body armor in GoldenEye. A health buff that lasts until you take damage. But only for non head shots.

Joined a game of Gun Game, loads the map, goes to black screen, puts me in a 6v2 Safeguard game... not even sure how that could happen.
 
I just played my first game of kill confirmed. Not a single one of my teammates thought it was necessary to actually grab tags. WHY would you even play that mode if you're not willing to you know... actually play the mode.

Does the arena actually have players who play objectives?

I'm gonna give the pharo another go, maybe I'm missing something, or I ran into some laggy games, but I think the gun has been trash since the nerf.

I've only used the Pharo since the "nerf" (dunno what it was) and I can't live without it. It's the perfect weapon for me, used my first prestige token on it.

But I could see how it might not be for everyone.
 
Is it just me or are vision pulse challenges broken? You literally have to get it within 1-2 seconds of activating the special for the kill to count.

Reaching lvl50 and Ive tried most of the guns except for some LMGs and sniper rifles. Oh, and Vesper, have to try that one. Hard to decide what to use as a "main" weapon, I think Id do better if I focused on one or two instead of constantly swapping. I guess my favorite atm is the Pharo. My most used weapons are probably Kuda and VMP but right now Im not happy with them. I thought Id love Sheva but it turned out I have to spam the button and I absolutely hate it.

I had some good games with the Haymaker but it works out like once every 10 games. The streams Ive watched people using it they play like freaking ninjas jumping all over the place with mad speed. I cant do that with a controller.

Im also not sure on the specialists. Ive mostly used war machine and scythe but looking at the stats I havent done too well on them. War machine is pretty effective in defending a domination cap but thats it. I really wanna try the flamethrower spec today.

The good thing about this game is that everything seems viable. Just gotta find the kit that works for you. In blops2 I sticked to 1 weapon for like 3 prestiges and didnt even consider the others.
 
Anyone at all on? I need to play with some decent people before I go mad. My team mates are literally people who suck the acid out of battery and have no sense of what they are doing at all. Absolutely the worst team mates in the past few days for whatever reason.

PSN: CollateralCat-

Save me from causing harm to my controller :(
