200 for free? I didn't see that under Black Market/ingame? Or was this a bit after the patch not yesterday?

It mentioned it in a prompt when entering the Black Market for the first time since they dished them out.

You can only redeem it for a Rare drop, so if you select Rare you can choose to pay with points or keys.

Man-o-War is much better than it used to be now. I was doing my three attachments in primary calling card and double and triple kills with it were rather easy especially with extended mag.

I have seen some M8 users thrashing everyone else around though, but I just can't bring myself to like that weapon for some reason. I think it comes from how too easy to use and needing to be balanced in the beta, which to be fair they did. So I should put some time into using it and maybe I will change my mind like I did with the KN44.

Oh Interesting! It didn't pop for me or maybe I was simply being oblivious after a long day at work. I will make sure to check again once I get home in a bit.

Thanks for the reply!

Did they just make rapid fire useless on burst weapons? Seems like it.

I assume it still decreases the delay on sniper rifles?

I don't see a point in having a main weapon(s) if it's constantly going to be changed. You can't even guarantee it's going to perform the same. How many times are they going to do this?

I bet some were complaining about them. Same people who complain about weapons being too powerful.

For some reason the same multiplayer menu song keeps playing; before it used to be longer/more than 1 song, but now it's just the same one over and over...

Anyone have tips to get headshots for the 2 semi-auto shotties ?

Aim for the head :p

I prefer hardcore for headshots, which is odd, as I figured that thanks to vertical recoil and the tendency to aim for the cock area that by the time I drop someone I'd finish aiming at heads but in hardcore you down someone in 1/2 shots.

Hip firing only seems to work well as a ratio of headshots to non-headshots but results in more deaths.

They changed an option in the audio menu and the option is glitched. Fix it by going to menu -> Audio -> Multiplayer Music: Default

Yea it's on default already, only plays different music when I'm at the main menu. Multiplayer menu still only plays the one tune, and there's no music in game anymore.

I would highly recommend Hardcore FFA on Combine over and over (once it's chosen it usually get chosen every time) The encounter rate is obviously very high. You'll get used to the terrible spawns quite quickly and know where an enemy is likely to be at any area of the map.

Also there seems to be quite a lot of people trying to go for headshots with the shotguns and pistols too so that makes 1v1s a bit easier.

Try keep your aim at head height as you move around the map. Quickdraw and over clock with Kinetic armour helps too. Good luck :)

What is this new Nightmare mode I see in my menu. Played it a little bit. Was it previously unlocked after finishing the campaign?
Click to expand...

Yeah. Mixes elements of Zombies and Campaign. Hendricks is a better character in it ('cause he doesn't say anything).

So has the performance on the PC version gotten better? GMG has it for $36 at the moment and it's very tempting.
Click to expand...

The only "performance issue" I really have now is that the resolution scale option uses a lot of VRAM. As in I can turn most settings up if I have it on 80% of 1080p but 90 and 100% maxes out my 2gb of VRAM even with everything else turned down to low. I rarely pass 30-40% CPU usage on an overclocked 4960k so the game seems to have been fixed from the CPU side of things.

Dingo must be the worst weapon in the game. An LMG with the damage of an SMG. 100 headshots with this is painful.

I also used a Dart to shoot down a Wraith.

Yea I'm using the Dingo right now and it's taking way longer to get headshots then the BRM did, I would say it's top 3 worst weapons in the game right now. I actually can appreciate the BRM more, now that I've been using the Dingo.

Rapidly kill 2 enemies with HIVE 3 times is going to haunt me.

I need this and 2 Firebreak challenges to unlock the Hero conditions. Can't wait to be done with all of this lol.

Been playing nothing but HC so I forget about Nuketown, lol. Going to give that a try now.

When I'm done with this, I think i'll be sticking with Combat Focus. Love that one.

Have to say I am surprised by the COD point values. I thought it was going to be 1 COD point = 1 crypto key. Making a $3 200 COD pack worth 6 rare crates and 2 common crates... I was going to be tempted to drop 10 bucks on 1,000 COD points as a tip of sorts as this is my favorite COD in years. This was what I did with Avatar items. Like a game a lot? Tip them by picking up a $1 piece for the Avatar.

But holy hell, $3 gets you ONE rare crate?!! What the hell were they thinking?

I play for an evening session and wind up with 60 keys without realizing it and they want to call that worth 6 bucks? No way in hell...

Yeah, secondaries that make your back side stick out like a glowing target are what kept me from going that route. I still throw on the most egregious primary camos I have just to get people raging when I score the final kill cam.

Going back to cod!

Wow what a last minute comeback!
Click to expand...

That was awesome. I switched to the Pharo, and then got RAPS to end the game. We captured A, then I booked it all the way to C and solod capped it lol.

and the 4 other non - prestigers on our team running around with their heads cut off

Jorge gets RAPS proceeds to get 10+ kills, I get it right after it gets 2.... awesome.

Good games with GAF. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get the ICR or HVK to click. I lose too many face to face encounters with them. Even to other ICR users. Man-o-war? That's my full auto AR jam.

Got my 200 points last night, opened a couple of rare boxes, and I think it was just a legendary attachment and an emote. Then, opened a common and... got an epic camo for my Gorgon and a legendary camo for my Man-o-War. It is nice to get some keys back of the rare box with one rare item all the time, but I think I'll still take my chances with three common boxes for now.

I'm managing to get some G.I. Units and I was looking at one of the calling card for that "Kill five players who damaged your G.I Unit 0/1." So... this has to be done in the same game and to the same G.I. Unit? The thing doesn't survive more than my Cerebus/Sentry most of the time :/ lol

I disagree. A GI Unit has A LOT more health. If I recall correctly, it takes 4-5 EMP grenades to take down. In terms of bullet/rocket damage, that is quite a lot. All you really have to do is either leave the GI Unit on escort mode in small maps or on patrol mode inside objectives or choke points on larger maps. Eventually someone will try to shoot it, and after that chances are very high that it will get five kills considering that the AI is now much better and that the streak itself is now stronger. Honestly I prefer the GI Unit over the Wraith since it's much harder to take down.
