I seem to spend half my time ditching lobbies and joined matches now because of fucking Combine.

I was just in a match with Combine as next. 2 votes for previous map instead, 4 votes for random.

It rolled random and we got Combine. This is so tedious.

That moment when your party of four people is so strong that the game decides to pit you against eight enemy players in a game of Domination....and you still win and make them rage quit.

Thinking about jumping into a cod for the first time since MW3. I'd like to play with you guys but I know I'll probably be pretty bad for awhile.

Man It's funny that your username is Gumbie when I call the robot specialist Gumby because of the Gumby Robot in the Gumby movie. XD

Great game but bizzarely for 3arc I'm not really impressed with the maps. They've played it too safe, there's virtually no layout variety and nothing really overly stands out as a classic. I suppose Combine will go down as one but it doesn't touch the likes of Summit, Firing Range, Standoff, Hijacked, Raid etc. I though nostalgia might be playing tricks but after a few prestiges my thoughts remain the same.

Only thing I can think of is that the faster traversal renders map layout slightly less critical. Certaintly felt that in AW where it seems maps were just something that got in the way of the endless boosting.

No one here cares if your a bad player, we'll still play with anyone. There are plenty of good players on here that winning still won't be an issue.

What are the chances of

1) Flinch being removed or severely nerfed?

2) Map design that is more like Black Ops 1? (3 lane, but more paths/not as simple)

3) UAV/CUAVs getting some kind of buff (they go down incredibly fast and are already at 500 points)

What is flinch?

DLC maps look to be far more complex than the ones we have now. Especially the waterpark

I don't think UAVS/CUAVs will get buffs or nerfs. They're in a pretty good spot right now. They're super powerful as is right now due to the movement system

When you're in a gunfight, and your gun kicks is flinch; there's a lot more to it, but that's the jist of it.

They shouldn't nerf flinch, they should be nerfing High Caliber or just take it out. Such a stupid idea especially with the high view kick; happens all the time where I'm shooting a guy so he flinches into a quick headshot.

Pretty much this

Some people that don't consider themselves 'good', actually help a lot in objectives, hence I would not consider them bad.

In a gaf lobby there is a place for everyone.

Argh. I get so fed up with spawns. Sometimes they flip so fast that I get killed by 2-3 guys spawning in at once

Are they going to ever tweak that or is it working as intended?

Ohhhh, that's what it is lol. Yeah, i've gotten a lot of headshots because of it. I feel so bad for the other guy. Needs to be toned down slightly but not completely removed

I'm ok at the game, which is why I focus on objectives and picking people off coming into objectives. I have no hope of touching scorestreaks above CUAV 95% of the time haha

Probably working as intended. Shouldn't get blind sided by it so much as long as you pay attention to where your team mates are. If a majority are on one side you should pretty much prepare for people to come from behind

But there are many situations where it happens so suddenly

People move around the map so fast that Ill get stuck on one side with a bunch of players spawning together somewhere.

Id rather flinch just not exist.

Which COD games had flinch?

All of them, at least starting with CoD 4. Your character always flinches to some degree when she/he gets shot.

I'm not the biggest fan either. It seems so random and sometimes really screws you over.

Other black ops and ghosts have had hardened, toughness perks and focus (weapon mod) which reduced flinch by 75-80%. These things were more or less mandatory if you wanted to be competitive.

The funny thing is flinch kicks straight up a lot in BO3 and with high caliber you actually benefit from getting hit. It's stupid.

Need some help.

I purchased the extra classes slots, but when I choose my class before a TDM, I can't change to the other classes sets. I can only use classes from set 1. I can't access the other sets.

I will set aside my stats, teamwork, and a win to make prone campers lives miserable. Once I die to one:

  • Use teammate as bait to see where he dies or if he gets the kill.
  • Once dead, patrol that map quadrant with awareness and dead silence with a wrench.
  • Club the bastard as he runs back to his spot.
  • Rotate to other point of entry in that area and club him as he comes back
  • Immediately move to the opposite corner (usually diagonal) of the map and pick him off before he finds a new area to go prone.
  • Rotate room again to kill him the fourth time.

After that it's kind of rock, paper, scissors. I've only received one hate message so far for doing this, but I hope for more. It makes a fun mini game, and the thud of the wrench is glorious.
