What's the verdict on Rapid Fire & Long Barrel on Pharro? I want to say that say both help but I don't know for certain yet. None of these attachments have negative effects, right?

Unless something changed long barrel on SMGs is a waste. It only extends the max damage range slightly, but not the overall range of the gun.

So what is the deal with the Haymarket? I tried it out and it takes about 5 shots to kill people. Why would anybody use this gun?

After you hit master prestige you can level all the way up to 1000 lol... every 100 levels it unlocks the prestige icons from the past 3 Treyarch games; so at level 100 you get the Prestige 1 emblem from those games, same at level 200, etc...

950 more levels after you hit prestige master...... yea not happening.

Account duping. Long way is just boosting. Can't really take some prestige players and high SPM/KDR players seriously when it's easy to do these things.

Sorry but I've not been playing every day and I only play evenings, and I missed one of the double XP weekends and only have a 1.2ish K/D, though a 400 SPM, and I'm almost P5.

So someone who plays every day and took full advantage can quite easily be prestige master already, very easily indeed.

I don't doubt there are glitches for it but I've seen only a handful of prestige masters and they were players who kept topping the scores.

I did just see a player with level 57 prestige master. It was a gold number too in the match.

Of the things I've noticed, you can burn duplicates as someone mentioned above, you can re-buy from the screen where you see what you've got from exchanging keys, you can see what you recently earned from your keys, there's a countdown in the Create a Class menu when the time is running out.

Got 80 keys back.

Also some of the hero gear unlocked even though I haven't done the challenges yet. A hero body relocked even though I had it previously. I can still use it though.

I hope it won't be anything too bad because I have the US version of the game so I am unable to buy microtransactions (Activision please stop ripping off Europe, you locked me out of your MTs!)

Seems like it's just another currency on top of Cryptokeys (can't buy these) and also lets you buy something in zombies mode.

Combine. Combine. Combine. Combine. Combine. Fringe. Combine. Combine. Combine. Combine.

The map is getting boring now.

Shit, change to the voting system was not part of the update?

I'm at a point that once Combine has been played I have to leave the lobby, because nothing else will be played from that point on. So sick of that map.

Awesome lol. I've always enjoyed the grind..and I love that the old prestige icons are making a comeback.

Sounds like they added quite a few things with this update. Looking forward to them.

I'll be on tonight around 7pm if anyone wants to play.

That's like 18 extra prestiges lol.... and since you have everything unlocked, you will level up even slower. If the xp increases each level needed to level up, I don't see how getting to it is possible before I get burnt out.. Unless they are doing 2 years of DLC.

I'm pretty sure it's only the minimum damage range that gets increased. So your 3-4 shot range is the same, but the 5-6 shot ranges increase.

I've played maybe 10-12 games tonight, all Combine except one on Fringe.

Edit: now not playing Combine! It's Fringe again!

Why the fuck can't a shotgun 1 hit kill up close?? i constantly die with the haymaker/brecci upclose to everything and the hkm or whatever it's called has no range..

Why is it so hard to get good shotguns?

Wouldn't want to upset SMG players =) . In other news I think the update broke matchmaking.

Every time we get good shotguns the whiners cry about them being OP. The Haymaker was awesome early on, but got nerfed to shit pretty quickly.

Another update is the Showcase, before when you viewed someone's Showcase you just had Paint Jobs, Variants and Emblems now you can view Custom Games, Screenshots, Recent Games and Clips.

Creaking

He touched the black heart of a mod
There are more black market helmets and bodies for each specialist, and reticles now have black market variations available (though most (if not all) are preexisting reticles with different color schemes (lol Black Ops 1))

Cool to see new melee weapons. I hope they introduce more new guns this way too.

First thing I noticed with this update is the fact that they unlocked the Nightmares campaign for you. It's on the main menu.

Burning duplicates is awesome. Just did so and have 72 keys.

I see with the rare supply drop it says, "Guaranteed Weapon or Specialist item". I have 72 keys so let me try my luck with a 30.

You also get bonus keys? Just got 5 of them.

Use the KRM-262. Its very viable with Gung-Ho and Hipfire. The range is very good in my opinion, but I don't use shotguns on larger maps anyway...

Still not worth it. Rather have x3 the chance especially since I have all my favourite specialists with gold armor/helmet that won't be changing.

Got another rare card from a new set (The Galactic set). This is what I have open so far:

Really interested in the Galactic set...

Seems they added more gestures as well? Don't remember there being so many now.
