Call of Duty: Black Ops III |OT| No Content For Old Gen

Tracker needs to be removed.

M8A7's firerate needs to return back to what it was pre-patch.

Dead Silence should make you quiet regardless of what perks the enemy is running.
 
Hard-Wired counters that, you know. Along with a ton of other things.

Not completely and I still don't like how it easily punishes rushing or merely moving around in Search. Terrible perk.

Remove it or make footprints last for a very short amount of time is what it needs.

And Hard Wired is the only counter unless you know something else.

it is still a stupid perk.
why is something like tracker and sixth sense in the game?




other question: fast hands or quick draw?

Don't see Sixth Sense much, but yes, another stupid perk built for aiding oblivious people who can't keep track of enemies on their own.

I prefer Fast Hands. Quickdraw is only useful for ADSn when standing or not sprinting. Fast Hands helps with ADS speeds after sprint and also gives you fast switching (I pick up enemy weapons alot).
 
Nah, I meant that Hard Wired itself counters a ton of other things. Blind-eye and Cold-blooded look paltry by comparison.

It does, but I rarely use it outside of Search because Tracker is dominant there. Fast Hands is more useful to me.

Some of what Hard Wired counters I'm okay with because they aren't that big of a deal, but in Seach? It's needed.

Finally got all the outfits for the Battery specialist(excluding the hero/classified one). It looks pretty sweet.

Imagine playing like this for 20 days...

I've been experiencing this all day. :( Not as extreme, but definitely noticeable. And I hate that I can kill people with on burts of the M8A7 sometimes, and due to lag, I need 2-3 bursts in some. I get 3-4 bar pings even, it just fluctuates which messes with everything. :(

And for some reason, I find it very hard to find games in Mosh Pit. Ground War sometimes too. Like I have to wait 5-10 minutes to get in a match. o_O

They really need boot camp or combat training for some people. Guy on my team just went 5-62 in domination. Like how.


Crysis 2 MP did it best. It had a noob room of sorts where level 10s and below were piled in it. Every MP game should have something like that since it helps both the newbies and the veterans.

Which smg is best in your opinion?

Hard to say. In terms of being killed the most by it would be the VMP/Vesper; in terms of what I like the best it would be Razorback/Weevil, which especially the Weevil are probably the most underpowered by are still very viable. I don't like burst weapons (except M8 because its currently OP) so I have no comment on the Pharo.

Say what? It's great against most corner campers or people that are running by below you. It's just another way to counter corner campers/soundwhores because chances are they won't be moving and giving up their position like your footsteps are. Just slide to a jump or jump shot around the corner even if they expect you, you'll often win the gunfight. It's great for rushing with and has saved me many times. You can't be against that unless you're against Awareness and all other visual/audible clues to player position.

Pharo is legit. I really like the way the Kuda "feels" though.

Pharo has the fastest Time To Kill of any of the SMGs, its a monster

but my personal favorite is the Vesper

Vesper for me, the fast fire rate means that it kills people really quickly.

This is the great thing about the game so far.

In AW it was the ASM1 followed by nothing.

Pharo is my favourite, but I love running around and hip firing the Vesper. The VMP is really solid, and very consistent, and I haven't used the Razorback/Weevil.

Yeah the weapons, including smgs, are all very viable

Just try them all and see what you like

I don't like how Awareness currently is. The relationship between Awareness and Dead Silence should always be how Sitrep Pro and Ninja Pro interacted in MW2. I think it shouldn't exist, but if there had to be a perk that increases footsteps, it should be that way. At least you have to have some map knowledge to utilize it successfully.

Sixth Sense also helps out campers with situational awareness so its not a one-way thing.

Weevil is garbage, unfortunately.

If you suffer from lag and want to negate it with the best overall gun in the game, Pharo.

If you like killing fast and dying from having to reload, Vesper.

If you don't want the best SMG in the game and want a lesser version, VMP.

If you like getting hit markers and dying, Kuda.

If you like punishment and are into masochism, Weevil.

If you played the beta and experienced the razorback and want to try a useless variant of it, Razorback.

Fast mags help with Vesper, an Unsilenced Kuda can do work (got me two motherships in the same game), and the Weevil is not as bad as most people say it is. The razorback is TE best SMG for long range.

I like the Pharo cause you don't need anything attached for it to be a beast whereas every other gun needs something to make up for its flaws.

Kuda is way too slow for my connection and I never use Suppressors as the negatives outweigh the positives.

Might be some exaggeration, but the Weevil sucks and is the worst among the SMGs.

I agree with Drift0r. The Weevil's strength is that it has no strength. Being average at everything can come in pretty handy.

Yeah if you're against a Vesper sprayer with 10% accuracy, it'd probably be useful then. I've gotten 100 headshots the quickest with it, but that isn't enough to cover its other weaknesses. I will say that spraying with a 70 round clip is loads of fun though.

Its dramatically outclassed at everything except mag size. Driftor is high.

It has the same firerate as the Kuda, but is weaker. That already puts it behind the other SMGs save for the Razorback, but the Razorback at least has less recoil to deal with allowing you to run something that isn't a Grip on it. Literally, mag size is the only thing I see going for it. Kuda fits the average SMG much better than the Weevil does.

I don't see how people find any good in this gun.

Yea agree, I also have the 100 headshots but a buff is needed for sure.

I don't know. Sure, it doesn't have the best range, but it doesn't have the worst out of all the SMGs. The same can be said for damage, rate of fire, and pretty much any stat. It may not do anything the best, but it doesn't do anything the worst and is thus viable in many situations.

Man I suck at this game. I had a 1.6 KD in Black Ops 1 and at level 25, I am currently at 0.77 and it only seems to be getting worse.

I think it may be the bigger TV, and sitting too close, but I can't really sit any farther back. Back then I played on a 40" about the same distance I am playing on a 55" now.

All I'm saying is that is doesn't do them well either. I use it from time to time and everytime I die or lose out on kills, I always think about how the Kuda, VMP, Pharo, or Razor would have gotten me that kill.

An average weapon would be something like the KN-44, imo. It excels better than some in close range, but it holds its own at mid to long range where other rifles would be a better choice.

It needs a buff, but I don't know where it needs a buff in since buffing max damage makes the Kuda a bit less useful and firerate just grays out the uniqueness of the VMP and Vesper.

Perfect, couldn't agree more... Other then razorback because I don't have it unlocked but this made me laugh and I've heard it's no where near as good as it was in the beta
 
I love the weevil and the razorback lol. The best gun by far is the HVK though. All the benefits of an assault rifle and an smg in one.


I just got like 25 kills in one match with the weevil. You guys are crazy. Only guns I despise are burst guns. Shouldn't take one burst to kill.

I haven't unlocked it yet, but that's what I've been reading as well so YMMV hehe

Don't understand the hitmarker part with the Kuda when it has the highest damage along with the Pharo. Also really good with Fast Mags.

In my experience, it's very inconsistent for me and the only way to win against others besides jumping around and sneaking behind, is to use Rapid Fire. I lose 95% of head to heads against the faster shooting guns. I never use Suppressors either and have 24% accuracy with it so I can't be that bad.
