"My KD is sadly a 2.58".. lol come on man.

I mean, in my previous games they were usually near the 3.0 range. I don't think that a 2.58 is that big of a deal, but I suppose everything is relative. For example, Rixxan has around a 3.20 K/D, and that's what I'm striving for.

If I did a fresh start twice mine would probably be abit higher. Game really kicked off for me on prestige 2 after I did a fresh start. Now its 2.27. Played some safeguards back then and always just 1kd per game. God I hate that mode.

Only playing TDM and Domination 95% of my playtime now as that's the only mode I can search where there are actual players in lobbies here in Malaysia.

That is great to hear. Was playing AW last night and got tired of hoping to get something good in supply drops. I get enough RNG from Destiny (not even going there, lol). I may have to get BLOPS 3. I keep looking at it and watching gameplay videos. Looks a little more fun than AW. Just haven't enjoyed a CoD as much as MW2.

Personally it's a lot more fun than AW, weapon balance alone trumps it easily, but the movement system is so much better. AW was all about jumping as high as possible, but BO3 is about chaining together multiple jumps, wallruns, and slides to get around the map quicker.

The RNG here is so much better than Destiny that I havent even touched Destiny since BLOPS 3 came out. You are guaranteed a Rare drop (blue engram from Destiny) from a 30 Cryptokey supply drop, but I routinely get Epics (exotics) and Legendarys from the same package. On top of that they give you anywhere from 3-30 cryptokeys back for using them on a 30 Cryptokey supply drop. yesterday i got 30 back for the first time. Guaranted it took nearly 3 months lol but its just little things like this that make a jaded Destiny player like me happy.

I just realized reading your post that I have not played one second of Destiny since this came out.

I'm finding Spectre to be my favorite Specialist. The Ripper is a great ability, even if you get killed while using it, it's charge time is so low you could use it like 6 or 7 times in a Domination match.

I really hope there's going to be more stuff coming alongside the DLC that they haven't yet told us about. I really want to see new weapons at some point.

If they want, they could just convert some of the Zombies exclusive weapons (bloodhound/bootlegger) into multiplayer versions. They'd need to model some attachments and make them paintjob/camo compatible, but that doesn't seem unfeasible.

Don't forget that if you get a blue/rare supply drop, not only are you guaranteed a rare and have a chance for epic/legendaries, you're also guaranteed to have one of the three items involve the specialists (in short, from a rare supply drop, one of the three rewards will always be either a taunt or cosmetic item for a specialist).

I mean I guess it's all subjective; I have a 2.1 KD while getting dark matter and the hero armor, and only play ground war, and I would say it's a good kd given the circumstances, and would never be "sad" about it, even if it was around 1.75, I would be fine with it.


Also it's 2XP weekend.

Looking at the data sheet, I'm a little confused about Stock. Does it actually slow you down with every gun other than SMGs and Shotguns?

See attachments tab here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...E4kXzfCJErTWA9yHYFxg5Y/edit?ts=56497c75#gid=0
Click to expand...

Stock affects movement speed only when ADS (aiming down sights), which is much slower than the regular walk speed by default. The values presented in that chart are higher than the default (no stock) ADS walk speeds, but shotguns and SMGs have the unique benefit of actually becoming ever-so-slightly faster than the standard walk speed when ADSing with a stock attached.

Ah that makes sense. I thought those values represented a modifier to the base ADS speed of each gun. This makes more sense now.

Actually, I'd like to see a specialist whose weapons are twin MWII-era unpatched Model 1887s. Something to that effect, anyway.

I've been thinking about an air-based specialist. Their ability could let them hover for a short time or something else related to the thrusters. Not sure about the weapon.
Click to expand...

That sounds like a valid idea. His/her weapon could be something similar to the thunder gun, and their ability might be to push anything and anyone in a 360 degree radius away forcefully. I doubt they'll make such a specialist fly or hover because then the game will start to focus on verticality and they don't want that.

Just found out XclusiveAce did a video on the EMP grenade a while ago. Looks like he rushed it a bit though, and left some questions unanswered but it definitely sucks compared to the BO2 EMP grenades.

My guess is they were worried it would turn into another System Hack from AW.

I really don't see enough equipment around in this game to justify using one when concussions are so useful.
Click to expand...

I like flashbang more than concussion.
The amount of deaths after hitting an enemy with a concussion is too damn high for me compared to flashbang.

I got hit by a flashbang barely and it still had a huge effect.

Planning to permanently unlock it next prestige.

Yes or no on the season pass for this game? I'm not sure if COD has a good DLC map implementation for matchmaking.

I have never played a COD as much as this one, so that isn't the concern. I got this in the beginning of January for $6 and a completed copy of Tomb Raider, and I'm approaching my second prestige.

LOL I thought the same thing when they said double XP. I figured it would be next weekend though since the maps are being released on Tuesday.

I've never bought the season pass for CoD. My feeling is most usually stick to the original map playlists, but perhaps others can chime in here. The new maps next Tuesday do look sweet.

I actually haven't run Flashbangs, but they are extremely annoying to get hit with. I'll give them a go.

Does Double XP go up at noon pacific today?
