I dunno, I used to wipe them out pretty easily before...I think score streaks need to be more durable, with the exception of UAV's, and maybe Counter-UAV's.


How is the demolition gametype in this game guys? I haven't really played it yet.

Nobody really carries launchers anymore. Mine haven't been getting destroyed when I call them in, and unless I destroy them from the enemy they just roam around the map untouched basically.

I'm just salty because I need one more for a camo.

I think we have the unlimited Sprint and the movement system to thank for that, probably, in my opinion.

I think its more how the spaces are broken up. There's really no wide open areas in any of the maps. Wasteland and Afghan with extreme conditioning still felt big in MW2.

I don't find it frustrating to get killed by a smart SMG player who finds a way to get to me. I have a problem with the game handing them maps that are built for that shit, and the ability to float right into a window of a building gas opposed to having to actually tactically find a way in through my defenses. It didn't happen like this in older CoD's so I disagree with your assessment that it happens in every game. Even if it does, the systems of the game are designed, and heavily so, towards that. Like I said, Black Ops 2 did this far better.

The more random a game is, and the easier they make it for bad players to get kills, the better experience those players will likely have, and is imagine that's a better chance for retaining such players for DLC packs and future title purchases. CoD is an enormous money maker, and it seems to me that's what's directing game design decisions like this.

Like I've said, I have no problem with the run and gun style. I have a problem with the spazzer style I described.

Just like I have no problem with a defensive playstyle. I have a problem with the random corner camper that doesn't help his team that I described too.

I think the design decisions they've made ultimately harm the game, they reduce its depth, and reduce the viability of other styles of play, as well as other things.

Like I said, I can't believe how easy it is to get around in this game. Spawns swap constantly and so do domination points. Even on larger maps. It's crazy.

Oh I should say im totally with you - the frantic spawn flipping and wall running are things I dislike too

I guess we see eye to eye so sorry for misunderstanding your first post

I guess I'm trying to say I want the game to cater for map movement but agree that the movement shouldn't be able to be quite so random

I feel you. I carry a launcher almost constantly. Haha

I'm inline. Want to play a few rounds? Game type preferences? I like Dom, Big team, Safegaurd, etc.

I think it's both. But you're right. There aren't a lot of those.

It's all good, no worries. :)

Black Ops 2 did a much better job of accomplishing this and catering to both styles I believe. Id be so much happier if thrust jumping, wall running and unlimited sprint weren't in the game. Even though they can be fun to use at times, I believe that they harm the game overall.

Combine Domination is best suited for this, you can easily tell when the spawns flipp and the enemies will naturally capture the point giving you the option to kill at least 2

Thanks, it took a while but this method was by far the best, just camp by the base in hardcore mode and fill them with lead after hitting it - the rear base by the rocks is obviously the best as it can be camped from distance.

I turned on Black Ops 2, was smashing people, and get a care package. It's an escort drone. Teammate stands next to me the whole time as it comes down, and re-rolls it. I think the cod gods have turned against me.

I hope they put KC into GW sometime, and take out Safeguard. Safeguard is way too hard to earn scorestreaks/specialists, and most people don't even play the objective. I tried KC yesterday for the first time in this game, and it's a lot of fun. You can earn specialists pretty easily,and I got gold head/chest for the Reaper in like 1.5 hours.

I bought this game on XB1 with the black friday deal and it said it included the nuketown remake, but I have played a ton of matches and have not seen it come up once. I mostly play team deathmatch. Is there something I need to do, or a specific mode I need to play to get that map into the rotation?

You need to play the Chaos Moshpit playlist, it's under Bonus. The only reason the playlist even exists is that Nuketown is in it, so there's a 90% chance you will get into Nuketown immediately!

How are you supposed to shoot down the RAPS before it starts dropping its load now? It's a challenge.

always been a challenge. Use engie and blackcell, you'll see it coming before it even reaches the field

So in Safegaurd, you now get 50 points, repeating for escorting the robot instead of 25.

That's a good change in my opinion.
Click to expand...

Yea its a start. I usually don't escort it until it gets close to the end because I want the win, and I don't need to stand by the robot when 3 other guys are. Still need to give more points for kills.

What does 'increased ability to control recoil' even mean? I presume if you take a weapon that has upward motion that if you held down on the stick it wouldn't previously responded to your downward movement as much?

Probably just reduced recoil or just makes it easier to be able to pull down.

I've been using the Drakon with a Suppresor and the Varix sight for the past few hours or so, and man, have I been having a ton of fun.

I just put the Elo sight in it too, and damn is it fun that way as well.

I've been focusing more on camos and challenges. I have all headshots for assault rifles except for the level 55 one, so I just need to finish them off and I get diamond ARs!

I also got only two camos left on Blackcell launcher. I need to destroy sentries and vehicles (Talon and Cerberus). The recent buff to them makes this annoying.
