Call of Duty: Black Ops III |OT| No Content For Old Gen

Man, this whole black market thing is stupid. I've been trying to get the new weapons, so I bought two Rare drops. Got a Rare gesture from both. Bought a common drop and got a Legendary, Epic and Common. Bought another Common, got two Commons and an Epic. It's just been camos and calling cards. How the hell am I suppose to even get one weapon at this rate.

I used my first two on the M8A7 and Pharo but since then I've been focusing on perks and equipment, unlocking the flashbang with the latest since it doesn't unlock until 47.

Mine was..

1. M8
2. HCXD
don't ask. lol
3. Engineer
4. Ghost
5. Ripper
6. HATR
7. Flashbang
8. Flamethrower

I accidentally unlocked HCXD too. It's stupid that "permanent unlock" is on the unlock screen when you're level-appropriate but you CAN'T permanent unlock stuff above your level from there. Was going too fast and ended up using perm unlock on hc car. RIP

I really think they need to overhaul perks

There's too many different ways to keep you off the map

Scrap them all and just keep silencers

Yep. Same thing happened to me.

I just laughed it out on my stupidity.
 
I accidentally prestiged a couple of guns, just quickly clicking through the menus. Luckily those are easy to level up again. One of them particularly sucked though because all I had left to do was the 5 attachments challenge and I wasted a bunch of kills unlocking the attachments again.

I have the Awakening DLC maps and I almost never run into them during normal play in specific modes. Am I doing something wrong? It sucks to have spent money and just run into the vanilla maps over and over and over. The new ones rarely ever appear on the map vote either.

I just want to play TDM or Domination on the new maps, and not necessarily be forced into playing the other random game modes in the Awakening mode.

Also, they should do those double exp weekends more often. I haven't played the game that long in that short of a time since launch. It was really fun.

That's what really sucks about the RNG. You can spend hundreds of dollars on CoD points with no guarantee you'd even get a weapon. It takes me a couple hours to get a rare crate with crypto keys alone. It would be nice to see a buff in that rate.

So sad, this was first time ever I prestiged. I didnt think to spend my permenant unlock on something from higher level like Razorback or Trip mines or a high level specialist

Noooo, I blew my perm unlock token on Vision skill on that specialist :(

My tears have no end

I pray for Double XP weekend (even tho I'll be out of town for most of it)
What does the refund do? I've noticed this on the prestige screen and thought it might refund a permanent unlock so you could use it on something else.

I used my first unlock token on the M8A7 and I had gold camo for it by like level 20, such a waste of a token. After that I used my 2nd token on the fire specialist, and then my 3rd on primary gunfighter 3, so that I could do the 5 attachment challenges sooner.

I did the same. I used it on the M8A7 when it was still a bit OP at the game launch. I still use it, but fairly rarely as I've been focusing on unlocking all attachments for all guns. I used my second token on Purifier, then decided I wanted to unlock all Specialist camos so I rarely play it now. I didn't really plan it out well, just selected what I thought was fun; which I guess is kind of the point of permanent unlocks.

The last few I've unlocked Dead Silence, Ghost, and Scavenger which have been way more practical. I'm coming up on Prestige 6 and I'm not sure what I will unlock next. I want to do the Razorback, but I am hesitant knowing that at anytime it could get nerfed and be a waste of a token. I never get high level Scorestreaks so that would be a waste. I might do Ripper since I'm coming close to unlocking all Specialist camos anyway and it is a blast to play that class.
 
How can someone be called a skilled player if they don't show up on radar, because they use every possible perk or attachment available. Personally, I think stealth perks should be limited to snipers.

I don't see how being skilled and using a class that doesn't show up on radar are mutually exclusive.

Anyone? I am also trying to play the Awakening maps without having to do mosh pit. Do these pop up at all during team death match? I am not seeing them at all.
 
The last things to do before I get Black Matter

- 5 kills without dying with Combat Knife, 2 more times
- Kill an enemy with their own gun after killing them with Combat Knife, 3 times

The 2nd one is simple enough, but not dying with the combat knife is nearly impossible. Players are too good these days.

Pick all perks and get ready to boost bro.

Damn, they fixed the Varix site making long shots easier by cutting down the distance.

Still got loads of weapons to go for DM, I am enjoying it at he moment though.

It seems like they hit PC with a little balance hotfix. People are saying that the Drakon, P09 and Brecci got a fire rate nerf. I hope this is just the start of them fixing this game on PC.

I wonder if consoles got the same patch.

Anyone else skyrocketing up the leaderboard since the map pack?

Haven't even played FFA and I went from 8,000ish rank to 600ish

And in KC I've gone from 40,000ish to 9,000ish

weird

I guess it's that 25 games minimum thing?

^^ never seen this one. You talking bout zombie mode? LOL. I never play that mode. I only do online mp but I'm sure many enjoy

I personally sick to death of seeing zombies left & right
 
Why did you leave so suddenly? Dang dude, I'm going to miss you.

1: The slow drip of actual good weapons being locked away by RNG

2: Found myself being frustrated way too often playing the game.

3: The asinine way that the game handled teams.

4: Most importantly though, I found other games. I have gotten back into Battlefield 4; and the Division is coming soon.

Babby needs to play Pac-Man and chase the dots, I guess.

Ah, what a shame. What exactly was frustrating you? I don't think the three weapons are actually any good, though. They're extremely niche weapons (in my opinion).

I agree with the teams balance, not going to lie.

Have you tried out the Division beta? It's pretty good, but I'm not sure if it is worth buying.

I just realized that the Street Fighter V OT is already several thousand posts bigger than this one. What the hell are they talking about in there?

I have, and I really enjoy it. Will pre-order it when I get paid next week.
 
If the Division was 60fps and didn't have the HUD floating I might get it, but as it stands it gage me severe motion sickness from only 10 minutes of playing.
