Played some MP, got disconnected from servers, no biggie will just play some campaign and try to at least finish it... half way through a mission, get disconnected.
I must have started the campaign in online mode. I wish your progress at least carried across both online and off-line for campaign. I'm all ready disliking the campaign enough I don't need extra reasons to avoid playing it in fear of disconnects!
Still loving the mp though.

Shot down a UAV with a Gorgon. Took 40 bullets, lol.
Ah, that sucks. Mine was jumping around all over the place getting tons of kills. Like a lot of scorestreaks, it's certainly situational. If the droid is the wrong place at the wrong time, it could get taken out instantly.
I've yet to see a Mothership! That's an even rarer one.

Man, TDM can be frustrating. Keep playing pretty well, getting a reasonable kill death ratio and then losing because my teammates are 1-15 and 4-18. Not usually bothered by my teams performance, but when 1 or 2 people are tanking the whole team game after game it can be annoying!

Used to take like about 10 bullets before they nerfed it really hard. FMJ attachment puts it back to its old state.
I was on Nuketown Domination and called it next to the B flag. I guess the other team was running EMPs.

Yeah, that's a big part of it, whether the opponents use EMP's or not. They're rare because they're not very worthwhile in most scenarios. Although then again on Nuketown Domination there are scorestreaks all over the place so people playing on that combo are probably more likely to pack EMP's. Meanwhile I got my GI Unit on Exodus TDM. Can't say I saw anyone with EMP's there, heh.

It's happened to me three or four times out of all the time that I've played the game. It's very rare but it certainly can happen. From my experience it can only happen when you're just joining the lobby (i.e. when you go from the main menu to the game, not from one map to another). It could be that the map is in a certain state when it happens.
Huh' glad it's not only me then! Guess I've just been unlucky the last hour. Thanks!
Mothership gameplay of mine
I got quite a bit on my channel
https://youtu.be/7-pPzgJ72wU
This was my first one
It can be great, but for some reason it has some delay getting to the map
I have had it been destroyed before even making it, it's a very big target
It feels horrible to get destroyed so soon, but if not, it can give you lots of kills
I want to play like this, maybe if I stick with you guys more often.
You are awesome at this game man.
It's happened to me since launch. Usually happens about once every 4-5 hours on average.

Holy shit my knife skills are so good right now. I just knife a guy by wall running then boost sliding into him while he was shooting. Fucking art.
I've been getting some bullshitty knives, I love it. I remember playing knife only lobbies as a kid in Battlefield 2142. I was so good people thought I was cheating.

Thank you so much man, I appreciate it!
And definitely, I love playing with gaf!
I will actually be on in about 30 minutes or so if anyone is interested in joining

Hmm, I don't know what I expected. It didn't seem that powerful considering the price, although you did get quite a lot of kills with it. What do you think of it? Is it worth the high scorestreak required?
And wow yeah, it must really, really suck if you finally get it and then it gets destroyed immediately before you can get a single kill with it.
I'm still on the fence honestly
I feel it can be great, but you have to pray you are not against a team full with launchers
Then it is a complete disappointment
A couple of times people just leave and forfeit, which sure you're like they left cause I got this awesome, but at the same time I wanted to continue with the streak xD
I'm a believer in raps being the best streak
I do very well with ceberus, wraight and raps
Wraight, raps and hatr is another good one, I agree with strider
I have to give the mother ship a couple more chances
Getting it always feels like an event and it feels like a great achievement. However, if it's not worth the trouble, I might have to step away from it

I don't know why they've got it set up the way they do, after the first replay the map should be locked out. Otherwise you get the endless combine:/
Bo2 had it right
Yeah... Not a fan of manually controlling streaks unfortunately, another reason why I have to think about the mother ship
But I can see what you mean if you control it
I still think raps is king IF the carrier does not get destroyed and they all land
Sometimes my wraith is just there to allow them to land lol. Wraith gets destroyed, but RAPS make it cause of the distraction
Such a weird to thing to change. It makes me think Treyarch just somehow forgot how map rotation worked before, because they honestly can't think playing combine 3 times in a row in every lobby is fun.
Maybe it got overlooked, a small detail, they got everything else right

Yeah the M8 whatever is definitely overpowered. It's way too steady and has too high of a fire rate for it's steadiness. I still think all the burst guns are too forgiving of misses because of their fire rate and kill potential. Just too easy to recover from misses.
That's the only reasonable explanation. Hopefully they patch it soon.
It's really key in close games. Throw the Cerberus at B flag, and mow down all who attempt to get the flag.
Yea RAPS seems it's would be way better paired with the distraction of a Wraith; I'll probably try that combo once they buff higher scorestreaks which I think will include the Wraith; RAPS seem fine. D. Vond tweeted earlier about these buffs btw.
Whattttt where????

The one thing I think they really, really, really fucked up on was having separate save files for playing the campaign offline and online. I seriously can't understand what they were thinking. It's stupid for so many reasons.
Yeah the map rotation is stupid, but I don't know, I can see what they were going for. They were probably thinking that if people like a certain level, the majority should decide whether it's played again (the political term for this is the tyranny of the majority). It's still not that bad; you usually just end up playing Fringe and Combine two to three times in a row but I'm okay with it. Matches are short so it's fine.

Multiple are under-performing from target design goals and will get buffed in future update. Work in progress.

@itsApxllo
@DavidVonderhaar why are high streaks so easily destroyed... There is no point on running them if they get blown up before they enter

Huh, I might've used high caliber. As the HVK bounces you'll probably get a headshot off of it.

Guess my game froze during the match load. Just re invite me when the match is over Jorgejjvr.

Well, I'm trying the PS4 version from redbox to see if I have a better chance at winning with my controller rather than the PC version where I get my ass handed to me. I'm doing much better here, However....

I look at my signal and it says it's strong. What the hell is going on? Is it the PS4, it's connection to my wi-fi modem or Activision servers? It's driving me crazy!

Haha sorry about that xDAww. Jorge you went back to that lobby you left w/ me and my bro. Our fortunes could have turned if we didn't go against them again.
Been getting into some very campy and annoying games, kinda put me off. Plus being awake since 6 am today did not help
I can just tell I don't got my mojo on at the moment

As someone who only really played the original Black Ops on Wii on and off for a couple months after release, I have to say I am REALLY enjoying the multiplayer in this game.
Especially now that they seem to have fixed the stuttering and performance issues I was having in last week's patch. That was very annoying, considering I just built my first gaming PC earlier this year.
A big reason I bought this game was the map editor and mod support though, I was disappointed to learn that they won't be available until March, but at least they will be there.
Are there any details whatsoever on what the map editor may be like? I hope it isn't extremely limited.

Okay, I'm officialy done with Blops3 on PS4. Fuck this shit. Constant disconnection despite my DL speeds being over 50 MPS (PS4 only shows above 5). What the fuck is going on?!! I'm sticking with the PC version if this is a constant problem.
