I absolutely hate awareness, and it has no counter. Some dude spent the whole game on Fringe inside the house by B flag and never died because he had a vesper, awareness, and scavenger. Frustration beyond believe, it's atrocious.

I presume crouch walking still works.

It does, but it's not very efficient in any situation.

Awareness + Super Crunch + Sixth Sense = instant wallhack.

Exactly, how is that fair when not everyone can get a headset?

I don't think the Argus needed a buff, but I'll take it. The KRM definitely needed one though.

Dead Silence should cancel out Awareness. Pretty lame if it does not.
Also
Love it lol. Dude is probably tired of this shit. I remember how nasty some people were to him on Twitter back in the Black Ops 1 days.
By the way, what is "recoil control" "Reduced sprint out speed" and "aim stability"?
Does increased recoil control mean the gun has less recoil?

Awareness/Amplify/Siterep Pro is the dumbest thing CoD kept perk-wise. The only people who defend it are the ones who purchased headsets for the sole reason of being able to hear you running downstairs and a mile away.
I hope CoD removes awareness and just keeps dead silence. Make footsteps audible like if they are in the same room/hallway but not in an otherwise ridiculous manner that gives you time to prepare a full course meal before engaging.

No idea what 'increase/decrease recoil control' means. I can only assume an increase is more predictability in the recoil pattern/less spread making it easier to manually keep your aim on track?
Sprint out speed is the time it takes for your gun to be ready after you stop sprinting.
Aim stability I will assume is less idle sway, ie. the movement you see in your gun when you're aiming down sights not doing any shooting.

Ugh, had an horrible night. Joined a losing team everytime, and I mean 70-200 on domination. Played Redwood where a guy camped with a sniper on am put of bounds area of the map. How I dunno. Had people quitting resulting in unbalanced teams. Sigh, just frustrated now. None of my matches was fun. Time for a blood break.

That's how I read the notes as well SMGs really don't need a sprint out buff. It's not like these guns have tons of idle sway either. I hate these new patch notes.

Personally I like smacking him with the Anihilator as it gives me 'wrecked'
I don't mean it's a problem, I love hint it's useless. I am right now working on those challenges.

They really need to tone it down or at the very least dead silence should counter it. Right now even with dead silence they can hear you from way to far away. I hate hearing my own footsteps so I generally run dead silence anyways.

What did the update for BO3 do, guys? Notice any differences?
It and Vision Pulse are probably my least favorite specialist abilities. Vision Pulse has more utility, but the game is way too sensitive about getting Vision Pulse kills (you can kill someone who is still red but the game won't give you the medal for killing someone who was tagged by your vision pulse if you do it like more than 4 seconds after the ping). Plus, Vision Pulse has the downside of painting your position on the map when you use it, and if you ping and get no enemies highlighted, it still empties your ability completely, unlike say, bringing out the Ripper and getting killed before you can use it much.
Really frustrating.
So how many gaffers in here plan to buy the season pass? Asking because the digital deluxe edition is $80 right now and that's probably the cheapest it's going to be.
Also, for those going for diamond on pistols. Here are some tips
Scavenger and fast hands are the only two perks you need
Scavenger is absolutely essential for any pistol that is not the MR6.
The RK5 is mind blowingly bad, you'll spend most of your time on that pistol.
Should be running high cal/fast mags 99% of the time for any pistol
Long barrel is fairly useless on pistols so don't bother
Likewise I can't imagine the suppressor making anything easier either (especially for long shot medals)
Treat the L-car as a mini smg instead of pistol (this gun surprised me with how good it was)
Don't bother running a primary weapon as you go through these.
Best maps for headshots are Combine, Aquarium, Breach, and Evac
Edit: Anyone up for some zombies?

I agree. There are a bunch of people who will be pissed that they cant get god scores though. Like its such a shitty thing the rest of the community has to tolerate. I shouldn't need to use headphones to compete with another player
I have it, Treyarch always delivers content that satisfies me. Although I'm also a big zombies fan so it does strengthen the value for me.
You are slower when you come out of sprint compared to before.
That Rejack buff is still not making it a useful ability.

Yeah getting the double kill vision pulse challenge is so god damn hard because you literally have to kill a person right as they're pinged for it to count. Bullshit.
I never buy MP packs, so not I.
I always buy the whole package for 100 euro's that is including season pass. I do it every year and well even the bad ones i still wanted all maps.

Annihalator pistol sucks compared to everything else
What platform are you playing on? If you're on PC, I'd love to have a group for Zombies.
I don't agree. It's one of the best specialist weapons.
Tokubetsu

Nah it's great. It's a top tier ability since you can snipe with it, still alright up close if you're not sprinting and good at destroying scorestreaks as well.
Ps4
. I wish there was cross play for zombies and campaign onlyPs4
Add me on PSN. I play Zombies. Would play it more if I get a group together.

Aw
When you said the game was $80, I thought you were looking at the Steam sale and gonna get it on there.
I need people for Zombies on PC
I hate the community segregation so I never support it regardless of quality. Halo 5 is doing it right & I wish more games adopted their philosophy. Oh well... You will all be back in the base playlists after the honeymoon period wears off though. (It always happens!) And I will be there waiting!
Increases minimum damage range.
So if it's a 3-5 shot kill, only the 5 shot kill range is extended, your 3 and 4 shot kill ranges stay exactly the same if I'm remembering correctly.

Eh. I dont see why one wouldnt just choose the nade launcher or machine gun. Too many chances to miss a shot. I probably do just suck.
The ability is much better though. Total lifesaver for killstreak chaining

You don't need a headset. My perfectly placed 7.1 system works pretty well too. Are you playing with the Sound coming from your TV?
There will always be equipment, which gives players advantages in games. Headsets, faster TVs(input lag), professional controllers etc. So where to start and where to stop complaining?
This is my first cod dlcI hate the community segregation so I never support it regardless of quality. Halo 5 is doing it right & I wish more games adopted their philosophy. Oh well...

They are not included along all the other maps?
Added, online now if anyone wants to do multi or zombies
Warmachine is worse because of its limited range and it is weaker if people use flak jacket. This gun is basically a rail gun in COD and it's pretty great. It is not as good as scythe, I'd agree on that.

Annihilator is so good if you can aim. It's probably my favorite specialist because you can basically snipe with it. It's one of my highest specialist weapons kd wise.
KnightHart

I love it, but it's also really difficult to use. I'm 95% sure that on consoles that the Annihilator doesn't even have auto-aim so it actually takes real aiming skill to use. But it's really rewarding. You can snipe people from across the map with the thing and it can easily pick off scorestreaks if you need to use it for that purpose.
I'm actually thinking about getting this years season pass, but that's because I'm confident I'm gonna skip 2016's COD, especially if it's from the Ghost of Infinity Ward. I still think the idea of paying for 'just maps' is really silly, but I'm also primarily a PC gamer where we usually got that shit for free or through expansion packs with other stuff. As long as the quality is there it's fine, but at the same time you have games like Halo 5 where they're really doing right by making the maps all free. Helps get rid of shitty community segregation. I still remember in WaW where I got kicked out of lobbies because I didn't own all the DLC. Fuck that shit
War machine is awesome, espeically in objective based modes like HP, DOM, you can just send a few in an area, and flak jacket will only protect the first shot. You can also send them in rooms you know someone is in but can't see, and kill them.
