I just got all the Outrider ones as well. I also finished Seraph earlier so now I'm working on Battery and Spectre. I'm also trying to get s gold knife. Pretty easy to get knife kills.

Cross posting thoughts from another thread:
Oh god, folks were right Bloos 3's campaign is trash tier stuff :-/
I'm only at mission 5 but I already just have no clue what the plot of the game is, despite a lack of focus, the game keeps throwing these concepts at you with no context. There is zero sense if world building here, you'd never know it was connected to previous Blops games (well I assume it is given its the same series? :/)
Yeah don't play CoD for plot and all that but it really stands out!
Besides that, it's genuinely frustrating to play, which I can't think I've ever said about CoD before?
Playing solo on normal and it's already a chore, and I assume it's down to the coop focus (why can't devs EVER balance these for one player??).
Maps are huge with tonnes of enemies, many of which are total bullet sponges (wtf are there bullet sponge enemies in CoD?!?) and maybe it's just me but you seem to die way easier than usual.
I'm playing on normal and I've never been so frustrated playing a CoD campaign like this before -_-
I just keep getting flashbacks to MW2 while playing this, it may have had a shite plot, but it's set piece moments were plentiful and well done, this is just shite.

Did the KN get buffed? Using it after a prestige and I'm fucking beasting with it now
I've lost a few times the last couple days to the KN, and M8 (needs a nerf, so not surprised) but then I lose to a MoW which made me rage post that.

Joined a Kill Confirmed match against a couple of Optic guys (checked verified Twitch streams to be sure), didn't do that well but my team managed to win.
First time I went up against some Pro COD players.

I'll give some love the sentry and guardian, they're very helpful on domination for sure. I don't get why either, but the Sentry Gun is better than in previous CoD's.
I guess all of my issues with lag were coming from a new router I bought; I switched back to my old one and the game instantly performed better. Explains why everything went to shit on me after the second day. Guess I need to look at things at my end before I blame devs next time.
Edit: I should add that most people don't realize you can take the sentry down with the lock on launcher, once it becomes common knowledge the sentry/guardian will become way less effective.

It depends more on your skill than the gun. Obviously the ADS time is longer on AR and you typically move slower during ADS, but the damage is still very real if you know what you're doing.

Black Ops trilogy has awful campaigns. This was the icing on the turd.

Is it just me or is the hit detection really weird on PC?
I disagree. I think the plots are ultimately pretty stupid, but Black Ops's campaign was fun, and I'm one of the folks that thought Black Ops II's was even better (aside from strike-force missions, which could have been alright if not for the awful allied AI).
I still haven't gotten around to finishing 3's campaign, but it doesn't seem like it wants to be a Black Ops game. However, whatever it is trying to be seems invariably worse. Confusing without being interesting. No good characters. And a few weird design choices, like those absolutely horrible armored troops. At least MW2's juggernauts went down with a few solid headshots and had decent hit-reactions to powerful attacks. These armored guys ask for half of your ammo supply without giving you any time to breathe.
I also think it might have been a good idea to implement a health bar, like in Extinction on Ghosts. It's more difficult than ever to gauge how wounded you are, leading to poor strategic choices. I'm thankful that they didn't go the full strawberry jam, but there's gotta be some clearer way to tell how much damage you've taken.

Only up to mission 4 on the campaign and not enjoying it at all , And quite frankly not a clue what's going on.
I can add to your deflation. The campaign has pretty much nothing to do with the previous games and no characters from the previous games make any return. It's downright ridiculous.

Funny seeing the sniper feedback now vs the early comments saying they were underpowered. Glad people are seeing how effective they are. Hopefully Treyarch sees the right comments on sniper rifles. They definitely don't need any buff whatsoever. All of them are ridiculously good in their own ways.
Shieva just needs a firerate. It should at least fire as fast as the Drakon.

Jeez the Argus is insane. Glad I gave it another shot, routinely posting huge scores on Redwood of all places. Thing is a beast.
It ended up being one of my favorite weapons after i had enough of Dingo's crap. I think for me its been the most reliable weapon for long killstreaks and funny enough half the time when i die using it its because I'm reloading.
Even the charge/burst one? I don't think I've seen a single person use it, and I'm halfway through Prestige 2. Haven't really heard anyone mention it in the OP snipers discussion either.
The burst seems kind of pointless in multiplayer, unless you're trying to blow up scorestreaks.
Maybe on PC but for the love of god leave it alone on PS4. The thing would be more OP than what the M8A7 is right now.
Finally got around to trying this gun today... Loving it. I really liked the KSG in BO2 tho so it's not too much of a surprise. I've always enjoyed using the Shotguns in treyarch games.
--
Coming back to BO3 after a break is so refreshing though.
Any of you can feel free to add me on PS4 if you want...I'd probably play more often if I had more people to play with. Only logged 13 hours into the MP so far.
PSN: Tstrider. I'm in the US if it matters.

I never really enjoyed them compared to the MW/MW2 campaigns. Not sure if I beat 3 as I don't remember anything about it but I beat BO1, stopped in the middle of 2 and suffered through 3.
I guess I enjoy more flashy campaigns versus the weird, dark, moody stuff Treyarch has. 3 has a shit tier campaign that I recommend you don't play. More often than not, levels drag on for way too long.

how do you get replays like that?
was my favorite gun for a while but KN-44 + long barrel, quick draw grip, and foregrip has made me see the light. The foregrip makes it pretty accurate at medium/long range.
Tried using Specter for the first time today and the ripper is hilarious. I couldn't believe how fast it charges.

They should have made the campaign about the multiplayer Specialists, they seem more interesting than everyone I've seen in the campaign.

These aren't cod pros hutch and diesel are just youtubers and streamers.
Most lobbies I'm running into on PC on domination are full of people using the rapid fire sniper rifles, to the point of there probably needing to be something done to them. The "idea" of a sniper rifle should be to reward accuracy, yet I keep running into people with sniper rifles firing as fast as pistols, which is absurd.

Theater in the multiplayer menu.
You can't save things from it, so you need to use your console's share feature or capturing software on PC.

I use a man o war with rapid fire and shoot from the hip at close range. I win most close range battles against smgs. Sure, smgs have an advantage up close, but it's never a guarantee.

Theater mode.
You can switch between first person, 3rd person or a free camera, which lets you fly around the map so you can get the position/clip you want.
Just position the camera however you want and record. I'm using an elgato capture device to record then using a GIF maker to make a short clip.
Theater mode is severely lacking. I'm hoping they plan on putting in some updates to it.
I'm also disappointed in emblems. Not the creating your own part, but the part where there should have been pre-made emblems. The ones they give you are complete ass. You have 548531425 calling cards and it would have been nice to have some emblems as well that you can unlock through challenges. Or maybe prestige icons from past games as unlockables.
Really interested in the black market emblems..but after so many supply drops, I fear it's nothing but hallucination camo applied to emblems, haha

This. How can I do this? I must know.

I haven't finished it yet but there are a few missions I will go back to.
The shootout with the hand-held explosive spike cannons had me yelling like an 80s action hero.
The "down the hole" scenario with the robots coming to life was pretty terrifying.
So far that's about it. Still fun with friends and nice to see a 4 player co-op campaign these days.

I didn't bother trying Black Hat when I ran through the first prestige but just got to P1 L54 or whatever it unlocks on and gave it a go.
It is pretty much useless now which is shame for such a high level unlock. Good luck getting anything other than a UAV or CUAV hacked. Everything decent takes wayyyy too long, and given that someone was able to get something decent it means your team is doing shite and so good luck standing in the open for the time needed without someone on the opposing team spawn rushing you. Even then with a UAV or CUAV you hardly get much time with it before it departs even if you start hacking as soon as it arrives.

I really don't know how, but I went from having a 1.3 K/D on PS4 to a 3 K/D on PC.
Oh wait, I do know how.
The Argus.
God bless that great piece of kit.

Me and my friend playing hardcore KC, 2 very different playstyles... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKpdVlnUo2c
That sounds like the Drakon again. The burst sniper isn't exactly what I'd call rapid. It shoots a 3-shot burst, yeah, but it has to charge up each time you press the fire button. Makes it at least as slow as the Locust, if not moreso, without the benefit instantaneous fire. The actual burst is so quick that you can't really utilize it that well to correct your shot in mid-burst (at least, not on console), and hitting players with more than one shot tends to be overkill in most situations.
Make a paintjob of the pistol or whatever with different words on either side. Then make a variant of that pistol with dual wield and the paingjob equipped. Then give that variant to your specialist as their showcase weapon. You might have to have dual wield unlocked to be able to equip the variant. I'm not sure.
