The bow rocks though. I agree though. Glitch is garbage. Most of the abilities are garbage.
Except for Vision Pulse in hard core I would not pick any of the abilities. Only using them to do challenges and unlock the equipment.
Combat focus is very helpful
I guess combat focus is also alright. I still wouldn't take it over most of the weapons.

So, Domination question for all you GAF players (since I know how much you love Domination):
Which map do you think has the worst (or hardest) 'B' capture point? I specify 'B' because obviously that's the one located in the center of each map and the one that normally dictates the winning team, since controlling that point for most of the match along with 1 other point normally ensures victory (but not always).
Again, it could be due to the map design or too many flanking options, but I feel like some maps are much harder than others. Right now I would have to say either Stronghold or Infection are the hardest, just due to the placement of point 'B' on those maps. I would probably put Fringe there as well.
Obviously it's easiest to capture the points with 2-3 players, but capturing these solo is almost impossible unless you have great team support just due to the number of angles you need to cover from attack.

In multiple occasions, it's the reason I get a mothership, so it's pretty good
I use that or the ripper usually

Havoc because of how open the B area is, and also because it is a larger map.
That means it takes more time to run to B to defend if you need to do so.
Infection is quite easy I would say - especially if you sit inside the fountain or whatever it is. Some people don't yet know about it and so you can get away with it, it obviously leaves you helpless to shoot attackers.
Stronghold is also quite easy. If you want to make an opening play for B then I strongly recommend you don't head straight there, instead go down the rocky side then get in behind where they're capturing it from and then capture it yourself. Works very well if you start A-side I find.
Combine can be tough, harder from the C side I think.

Good points thanks! I see what you mean about Infection and Stronghold. It just feels like you have to capture those points right away or else they are very hard to take back from the other team. I hope the new DLC maps in February are great for Domination, because I'm really getting sick of playing Combine all the time. Hunted is probably my favourite map, and I like Exodus as well, but it seems like it never comes up in the rotation anymore.
Breach is super easy
This is probably the first time in a long time I am excited for some DLC. The maps looks interesting and I need more Zombies. I am so excited hat I wish it was coming earlier.
Boy did BO3 surprise me. I have not been into COD like this for years, in fact I had given up on the series.

There are other maps besides combine? Wel I'll be damned
Redwood and metro are literally not made for domination. Fucking hate playing on either of those maps when it's dom. Havoc is also pretty bad because the B point has next to no cover

So, does Dead Silence counter Awareness users?

I would say Metro is very much made for domination as it is damn near symmetrical.
Alas, it is just a pants map. I've not had a fun game in any mode on it.
No. Other way around.

I have the animated Master Killer card and I think it's terrible.
Nuked Out would be more impressive.
You CAN showcase 3 calling cards BUT people can't view them.
Shouldn't be that hard to patch in the ability to view other people's combat record...?

That sucks...awareness is powerful enough as it is..
Well the voting obviously still needs changing. I still need to quit out of every lobby once Combine was played. You are never going to play anything else from that point on.
It may be symmetrical, but it's an unholy clusterfuck from all angles. Way to many flank spots and there's nothing to hide behind as you cap the point
I like how people will now withhold their vote until literally the last second and then pile it on to combine. Probably to trick people into staying lol

And with this clip I finished all of the Master Killer challenges:

I can only play the game in relatively short bursts most of the time now though, because the game is, frankly, a fucking mess.

Love hunted. Don't get to see it nearly enough.
Breach, hunted, aquarium are my favorites so far
I hate aquarium.
Why the hate for aquarium?

Quick question. Which SMG do you guys think is better for the close to mid engagement maps like Combine, Breach, and Exodus: the weevil or the vesper?
Why the hate for aquarium?
Too many hallways.
Black Ops 2 by a mile.

This. Probably even if you had a next-gen console to get Black Ops 3 on anyway.

The movement system, unlimited sprint, and map design to a lesser extent are to thank for the shitty spawns in this game I think.

Dont get BO2
Or at least be careful. Apparently there is a widespread lobby ack or issue where everything in game moves in slow motion

I really hope they make bigger maps. Dlc seems to continue their current trend
Id play the hell out of team tactical for the better spawns, but it's stuck behind arena where the population isnt as big

Map size and map flow are perfect the way they are (except Nuketown, which isn't even THAT bad), please let's not go back to the dark ages of maps like Stonehaven.
TimeEffect

Ghosts isnt the only alternative. There are good large maps in the series.
TheGoreMagala

Perhaps, but I would imagine that the larger the map, the harder it is to implement the new movement and the three lane system. I mean, judging from the larger maps in this game, Havoc for example, not many people enjoy them.

Care to explain?
It feels like the best call of duty right next to black ops 1 to me. Hit detection has been awesome and the maps are really good. Maybe not for all objective games but they seem pretty good.
ShadowsFell

It's awful. It's mostly the movement system and map design to a lesser extent. No one wants to go back to Stonehaven I don't think. Black Ops 2 did a great job, and these maps sizes would have probably worked a lot better without all the movement system and unlimited sprint garbage that messes things up.
The flow is not good at all. Again, because of the movement system and unlimited sprint. It's certainly better than Advanced Warfare though.

I've detailed it a lot throughout the thread, but they've lessened the depth of the game, by reducing the ability of defensive players to be as effective as they once were. Through perks, map design, unlimited sprint, the movement system, etc.
The game is much more mindless, and geared towards run and gun gameplay, to the detriment of other styles. Not to mention all of this does things like fuck spawns up tremendously, in my opinion.
Not to mention specialists...that's a whole other set of issues. I'm not saying they couldn't be workable, but in its current fo, I think it's problematic.
The game does perform better, but it still has tons of inconsistency.
OvenBakedMuffin does reviews for the networking each year, and has since MW3. Here's his analysis of the Black Ops 3 beta: http://youtu.be/OCyFGCCjYKY
Reading the YouTube comments section, he's finished the majority of the work for the review for the full game, which won't be out for a while, but, and I'm paraphrasing here, he said that everything was a little bit worse than in the beta. His past videos are really great. I recommend people checking them out. People have been complaining about inconsistent gameplay, lag compensation, etc. since the original Black Ops. I can still play CoD 4 with no inconsistency at all. Just normal lag, when lag should be occurring.
Almost Every old cod last gen have some sort of hacks.

I disagree, I've seen some pretty powerful old school snipers and LMG users who dominate the map by staying in place and killing anyone who tries to get too close. You don't need to run and gun, you can play defensive just as good. That's what I see most people doing with the M8A7 to get streaks, and with LMGs to cut off lanes. I'll admit it is harder, but more rewarding.
