What makes Heat Wave good? I kind of figured there would be a reason to not use the purifier on Firebreak.

It's basically a concussion wave you shoot out which also impairs vision with flames.

Depending on the range that sounds pretty good, especially since I tend to use shotguns.

It is an amazing skill that stuns nearby enemies and breaks equips.
It is great for "OH SNAP I'M ABOUT TO GET SNUCK!" moments or when you just run onto someone unexpectedly. Stun + gun punch = kill
The range is pretty long. I think it's longer than the Ruin shockwave.

You'd be surprised. You run out of ammo super fast with rapid fire, and without fast mags you'll be performing many long reloads.

It's around the size of Ruin's shockwave, perhaps a bit longer than the longest shotgun range. Drift0r made a video on it. If you use it, targets will practically be immobilized. They can't move or see and the only worry you have is if they hipfire. It can take out equipment and can even destroy Nomad's HIVEs (before and after they're activated).

The range is pretty huge
Just don't use it when they shoot at you first. Most of the time I end up dying with that.

So I turned on the gore filter and the multiplayer feels a lot less juvenile than before. Maybe I'm just too old (at 23?) but I don't enjoy gore and constant swearing.

Heat Wave sounds nasty, looking forward to giving that a shot later.

I think there's a mistake in that video. He says heat wave doesn't damage turrets, but the reality is that it does damage turrets, it just doesn't ohk turrets.
Is rapid fire really even noticeable, or is it just a placebo thing? I thought it was just a 6% increase.

He does state that the Heat Wave seems to damage ground base streaks to a certain extent. I believe that should be taken into account.
Edit: It is a 6.3% difference for most weapons. However it is definitely noticeable if the weapon in question is either incredibly slow or fast when it comes to RPM.
It's definitely noticeable, especially with something as slow as the brm. Ironically, it didn't even effect the recoil all that much
6.5 days.
Got Dark Matter, and most of the hero gear, so decided to go for some other stuff.

To me, Rapid fire is a must with the Shieva, the Man of War, the Razorback, Gorgon and maybe the BRM.
6.6% may not feel like much but in a game where you can get dropped in a fraction of a second, stuff like Quickdraw, Cold Hands, Gung Ho and Rapid Fire really help.

I have been working on Dark Matter too. SVG is the only weapon in the game I struggled with. I see people quickscoping with that rifle but I couldnt hit anyone at times even after taking my time to aim. I actually started getting hit markers when I was doing the 6 attachment challenge which I attributed to the shitty scopes and stock, but my god that was frustrating.
Finished my first pistol last night. Only two more pistols left and then the combat knife. Not looking forward to that at all. Especially the bloodthirsty medals. Though I have found that the Rejack ability saves your progress towards that challenge.
Still need to destroy 5 Talons or Cerbrus and 10 Ground Based Streaks with my Launchers but very few people call those in TDM. Doesnt help that I am going for handguns so cant equip any launchers.

Played a match on fringe and then later on infection I want to say, where a team pretty much knew the 3 big spawn spots and just farmed kills the entire 2 rounds of or uplink game. They were on the dot for the spots 90 percent of the time.
I never want to hear Treyarch and good spawn/map design going forward ever again after that shit.

My playing has been horrible the past couple of days. This can't be good for my mental health. I seem to lose every single gunfight because the enemies just shoot incredibly fast. The killcams show ridiculously different timings than what I'm experiencing. I'm on a gigabit fiber connection with 4 ms ping, and ~17 ms game ping mostly.
Oh well, this is just another rant post among many, I don't know of what my point even is. I'm not having fun right now?

PS4 and Black Ops 3 question.
I am running my PS4 on WiFi, and I have the power save setting turned on to keep the internet connection live when in rest mode.
However, if I am in Black Ops 3 and put my PS4 into rest mode, and then turn it back on eventually, the game doesn't have an internet connection and I need to quit the application and restart it.
How can Black Ops 3 keep the internet connection live when in rest mode?

I rock the Man-O-War and I don't use Rapid Fire. Though I do run Fast Mags and Extended mags, so eh.

It's the game. I'm hardwired and mine does that every time it wakes up from rest mode. You shouldn't have to restart the game though. Just click OK, or click Play Multiplayer, or whatever it's called, and you should be good to go.
Here's my three ludicrous games I was talking about earlier that I had with the BRM this morning.

We did a Demolition game when the servers were down for a night, correct? It was fun, like finding something to do when the power goes out

In all actuality, I am very willing to host the game if need be, and we get enough people. Something different to do, yeah?
Agreed, I just got on btw

Woohoo! Just went 88-11. Not bad for the first match of the day. Video going up soon.
Called in two Motherships when I technically got 3.

Fire all the damn invites you can Jorge, I ain't dealing with Rainbow Six tonight
I was impressed with how effective that guy was using them in closed quarters
Stabby was a little nuisance but was also pretty clever with his approaches

Jorge, send me an invite
Anyone else's experience with the GI Unit completely unpredictable?
It will take down 5-6 people one time and literally 0-1 the next. I've had multiple GI's get 1 kill and one today get 0. I know it can be relatively easy to take down with EMP's and FMJ but for being such a high streak, I'd like for it to perform more consistently.
My stats show the Wraith and RAPS exceed it on average kills per use and the cerberus is just shy of being equal.

It was kinda laggy as well, didn't help
I took a break, will be back for a couple of games before going to bed

I'm running the Pharo with a quickdraw grip, a foregrip, fast mags, and a long barrel.
Is there anything I don't need there? I was also thinking of using a suppressor instead of a long barrel.
Opinions?
