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

Me and my friend playing hardcore KC, 2 very different playstyles... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKpdVlnUo2c
I know people would give the first guy shit, but if you're sniping from that window and your team runs to the other side of the map, noticing that the spawns likely flipped and camping that doorway seems pretty smart. i've done it. people just keep running and dying when they could flank it. i generally get 5-6 kills before anyone is good enough to change up.

nice round, dat wraith and dem raps doing work

look forward to leveling that gun once i finish these SMG challenges
Haha thanks, yeah love that combo

I transitioned my pharo to this, and it works great

One thing it was missing for ME, was the slow bursts fire rate, and the hip fire

Fixed that with laser sight and rapid fire

Edit: think me and Jeff did one of the best come backs ever lol
 
just saw that, got a hearty lol out of it

also imagine this successfully salting some wounds

Damn, and here I thought I was being original. Same colors, even (different hands though, thank god).

I even made two versions: an akimbo version (pictured), and a text swapped "pose" version, so it doesn't say "GUD GIT" when I win.

I saw that on this one game, so cool, how can we do this again?

Make the same (or a similar) pattern on both sides (I like a clashing colors kinda look) and apply text on both sides. Then set it on a gunsmith variant and have your specialist showcase that variant during victories. If you want a version to use, you'll need to go and make that a separate paintjob.
 
Nah I didn't mean it like that, great streak

Just seemed weird how in both fights they seemed to take forever to notice you, prolly just good positioning by you
I was just kidding, no worries. Thank you! :)

Yup, I usually play with LMG's, so I'm all about the timing and positioning.

I've been using the akimbos so I have to try this troll paintjob business out later.
 
It's rather frustrating that I have to plug in my X1 gamepad into my PC to use paintshop. The mouse controls for it on PC are broken, so if you're a purist, it's all but impossible to use.

Prestige 7, this was a slow one as I've been playing less. Getting there though!

What's a good weapon for a person starting this game at level 1?

Kuda and KN-44 are both solid. Drakon is probably the best/easiest to pick up sniper in the game. XR-2 can be unlocked from level one if I'm not mistaken, and it's one of the better AR's in the game. VMP probably has the fastest TTK of any automatic weapon at close range. The starter LMG is bog standard but serviceable.

Lots of good choices. I'd say KN-44 is a good all-rounder weapon. Kuda's strengths are it's good range for an SMG. VMP again kills very fast and is easy to use. The Drakon is semi auto and can kill with two body shots or one headshot. The XR-2 is burst, but has the fastest time to kill at medium range in the AR class, and is generally great for mid-range encounters. The LMG is an LMG, slow handling and reloading, solid damage, range and stability.

Awesome. Thanks bruh.

Kuda, then VMP, and then the Vesper.

Everyone will hate you. I will hate you. But nobody will blame you.

Jokes aside, Creaking sent some excellent advice your way. I'd say follow his words to a T.

Every second game I'm getting host migration. It takes the better part of a minute and usually results in an error. It's quicker to just reboot and go through matchmaking again.

This is what it's come to, Activision. Time for dedicated servers you cheap fucks.

this flew over almost everyone's heads, give credit to Treyarch for being so creative.

Anyone who absolutely hated the campaign for Black Ops 3 should watch those videos. It might actually change your mind about it. I'm actually curious if anybody has changed their mind about the campaign after watching those videos.

How do you assign paintjobs to showcase weapons? I couldn't see a way to do that.
 
I've been using the knife a lot recently. It's nice because no one expects it. I'm able to get a lot of kills and surprise a lot of people with it. Already prestiged it once.
 
Anyone up for some team deatmatch? I'm consistently pulling a 2kd but consistently have teammates going 3-16 so I keep losing :(

Gamertag is bobs99 if anyone fancies and is on!

People who team wound or kill on purpose on hardcore are the scum of the earth, I seriously wish them harm.

Well, I can't finish up my Wild Card mastery since I prestiged lol. Now I have to at least hit level 19/22 again for the WC.

Fuck the Overkill challenge; even though you need 300 kills, you still have to get a kill with each gun in one life. Then die, then do it again. So 600 kills and deaths at a minimum.

edit - and yeah, sorry Jorge/TGM, haven't been able to play lately. Either the invites show up middle of the match or I'm just trying to knock out a few challenges before I stop playing lol. Bad timing!
 
Anyone in the UK having a lag fest on this tonight ? Booted it up 10 mins ago and after 5 games in a row with screen judder and teleporting players the game stat for ping was jumping from 34 to 400 ... Win Loss ratio is pointless when you need to lose 5 games in a row from backing out as its unplayable.

Just WhatsApped 2 mates and they have shut it off for the night for the same reasons.

I'm on a wired connection and when I am in a lobby with a ping of 17-34ms this game is awesome but last few days every time I load it up I am just so frustrated with the lag/connection.

Anyone on this side of the pond or the other experienced the same ???
 
So What is Gafs consensus on which mode takes more skill, hardcore or core game modes? Reason I ask is I'm terrible at core but decent at HC. What gives???

Urgh, who the f*ck thought Nightmare mode was better than the regular campaign in Blops 3??
The balance here is even worse! It's sooo easy to get swarmed by zombies and stun locked and if you're playing solo that means you're basically fucked. I had to reduce to easy D:

So this whole thing has been a waste of my time >_<
(speaking from the perspective of a solo campaign player)

EDIT: Fuck it, it's rare for me to give up on a game, but fuck this mode hard.

Crazy game play with the XR-2

Made it into a AR/SMG hybrid

Love it

64-8

https://youtu.be/cjv5nYG-VVU

Edit: you bastards all playing with my brother but not me -.- haha

Added you on PSN! :) And yeah, XR-2 is nasty! :D Nice clip, man!

You use Rapid Fire on XR-2? I'm using it now and I gather, it helps a lot when somebody ambushes you, no?

Yes I find that happens quite a bit lol

I'm BLOPS2 I had a 1.46 K/D

So that is quite a drop off haha

Same. I had a good K/D in Blops 2, and managed to go 50-60 kills in Ground War to the point I'd get messaged by the enemy for "being gay" or whatever offensive thing they can think of. Here? I started out at like .3 and now worked my way up to 1.0. I've been mostly able to do that with the XR-2 and finding the perfect scorestreak, perk and gun setup that suits me best. I just found what those are recently. :)

Anyone up for some team deatmatch? I'm consistently pulling a 2kd but consistently have teammates going 3-16 so I keep losing :(

I get paired up with Prestige people that go 10-25 and shit. :( Super annoying since they're essentially feeding the enemy.

Anyone here turns on the connection thing in the options menu for PS4? I regularly get 140-160 MS (ping) is that normal or OK? Worse is when it fluctuates to 30 and then 100+ which results in me getting a delay. I have no clue how to fix it, but I gather, it's my router or net connection. :(
 
Don't you guys miss the planning that you and your team had to do on maps like Crossfire?

Don't you miss a semi tactical MP game?


Also why the hell has HQ been missing for 3 games now? I thought it was one of the most popular modes.

Not sure about mode, and KDR doesn't mean much either, especially in modes like dom where you can just keep people locked down in their spawn and get all the kill streaks.

Just play whatever mode you get the most enjoyment from.

I thought so as well, it'd be nice if it was brought back via free DLC but I'd doubt it.

BO3 still has some tactics, though its mostly in Hardpoint, S&D, and other objective modes. Even then, Call of Duty hasn't really been a tactical game.

I just mentioned a page or two back it's a pile of shit. It doesnt seem like you've had the worse situations where they spawn right on you so your instantly dead, with absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Won't be on until later but I'll add you at some point. There doesn't seem to be a lot of Xbox players on here, these damn PSN guys are forming parties left and right.

Oh, I had that in the first level! Remember the part you jump up and chuck grenades in the core via an animation?

I'm then instantly dead as the undead swarm under me while my character goes through the animation. I had to do the section 3 times, one core at a time cos the game at least saved after each.

I gave up on level 3, when I had to destroy 2 turrets while the undead swarmed all around me. Fuck this shit.
Oh, and never mind the design of it is lazy as hell in the first place anyway.

Finish it and watch the videos that were present in the last page or two.
I feel like it's a test to see how much human suffering the developers were able to extract from the gaming population.

Some kind of fucked up torture experiment. I'm only playing it out of sheer force of will, at this point. I've played too much of it to just not finish it, but it keeeeeeeeeeeps going and it keeps getting worse

This makes Ghosts' campaign look like a bonafide masterpiece.
