Give us a few. There's 3 of us playing. We'll join you shortly after this game.

Sigh..I just need those 3 rapid HIVE kills and I can start going for hero armor. Need to play more nuketown.

OK, so Annihilator definitely feels sucky compared to other weapons, but it absolutely wrecks killstreaks.

Does anyone know if the Sparrow can destroy a Cerebrus as fast as an Annihilator?

Does the scythe need to "wind up" to be fired, or does it fire immediately?

Also, what maps do you guys like and hate? Any maps feel like "classics"?

-Hunted
-Infection
-Redwood
-Stronghold

All feel like really good maps.

Merry Christmas guys!

I've been on Battlefront these past few days because the Star Wars hype is real. Hope y'all are enjoying the Christmas noobs and making them feel nice and welcomed :p

Anyone have a link to all the specialist abilities/weapons and how long they take to become available?

I know the ripper is the fastest, but Im curious to compare things like the bow, pistol, and HIVE

It's basically an EMP from the past games, but it must be placed on the map. In other words, it can be destroyed.

To my knowledge, according to a calling card, it destroys any scorestreaks that are active during the time of deployment (the extent of which I'm not sure, I doubt that it'll instantly destroy a mothership, but that's how it worked in BO2 when an EMP could destroy a VTOL Warship), screws up their HUD really badly (if they're not using hard wired), and makes thrusting almost useless.

Edit: Zombies IS fun! Super fun, in my opinion. You just need to learn exactly what to do and what not to do in order to last more than a couple of rounds.

Edit 2: @TimeEffect, the Sparrow can kill anything as fast as the Annihalator, roughly. The only disadvantage is that the Sparrow's arrows have travel time while the Annilator's bullets are instantaneous.

The Scythe is probably the best Specialist weapon in the game (alongside a well used Ripper). It only needs to be wound up when hipfiring (that's the advantage and disadvantage, when hipfiring you can sprint and shoot but it must be wound up). However, if you aim with the Scythe, the bullets come out instantly (the disadvantage being severely limited movement).

Best map: Hunted, Stronghold, Combine, Evac

Worst map: Redwood

Also, sorry that I haven't responded to you about the handling 2v1s, I have the gameplay but I haven't had time to upload.

Talon needs a buff to durability. So tired of deploying it and then a single grenade taking it out. For needing 10 kills, it's not nearly as strong as it should be

Okay, so I guess there's no radius to the power core, and I can set it wherever.


Yeah zombies is great. Highest I've managed is 28, and that was with randoms too. As long as everyone is aware of the rituals, its not too hard to get going.

If you control it yourself it's easy to avoid gunfire (and launchers if you stay away from open areas) and get at least 5-7+ kills.

Confirmed, a Power Core will INSTANTLY destroy a Mothership at full health when placed. The proof? While playing against Christmas noobs, Jorgejjvr decided to call in a Mothership a little bit after the enemy earned a care package. What was in that care package? A Powe Core. Let's just say that he was very surprised to call in his Mothership and then have it immediately say that it has gone out of commission. Poor Jorge..

Still only seen one Power Core. That challenge to destroy them will never be mine.
