Well at least I got to play a little bit, but I have to bounce.

Thank you for the encouragement and your thoughts, I appreciate it. I'll keep it then.
Edit: Now I'm wondering if I should start running the Power Core for when the enemy gets their streaks. But if I use it, what else should I run? Perhaps the HATR?
Finally got one double kill with the glitch playing hardpoint like people on here suggested. Just one more.
I switched to TDM as it's easier and I do much better. I played domination and I forget how frustrating that mode is. No one goes for the captures and I finish every game like 12-30.

Got the prophet gear for getting a rapid double kill after using glitch just yesterday. That was pretty tough. Just curious? Is this considered the hardest challenge for unlocking outfits in the game?

Rejack double kills is pretty annoying as well.
Vision pulse is probably one of the most annoying due to how tight the timing is for getting credit. Glitch is up there but at least you can cheese it with objective grenade or pre-thrown c4. Rejack is annoying if you try to do it legit but you can self-rejack by suiciding so it isn't as bad.

Ok thanks. Didn't have any problems at all with those vision pulse rapid kills. Guess it's down to personal preferences. Rejack I yet have to try out!
The only level in the base game is Shadows of Evil. The Giant is available through the Season Pass, and Der Eisendrache is part of the first DLC pack, also available through the Season Pass.
Unless you mean something else by "next level".

Welp, I said I wouldn't prestige but I did mainly to get all my tokens back and start a fresh.
I got the sword and the crossbow thing in about 20 rare packages
Complete estimation there but should be pretty close to accurate

Dear god that would take forever. Really wish it was set-up like Advanced Warfare where you got the guns and were just hoping to get the variants in supply drops.
I'll take this over weapon variants with different stats any day.

What are some of your guys' strategies on Der Eisendrache? Not for completing easter eggs or the story or whatever, but for making it as long as possible?

Getting perks from the perks machine are way better than buying thw regular perks first. The spiderweb one is insanely useful for staying alive.
It has a way longer 2hk range than the shieva though. I believe MX w/ silencer is still longer than shieva 2hk range. That + higher rate of fire makes it pretty good lol
I like squatting at the top of the clock tower. They only come in from one spot. Probably wouldn't work well solo though. If you get knocked down, you'll land in a swarm of zombies and will need a very quick and well aimed shield charge or ragnarok blast to get out. Plus I've never had to deal with a Panzer Soldat in that area. Mostly, I like to use it to keep alive without much effort while thinning the zombie crowd slightly for my buddies.
There.
Got a refund for my Season Pass. Fed up with the horse-shit that is BO3. I bought the Season Pass several days ago and actually couldn't wait to start playing on the new maps. But I completed two whole games in 3 hours. The rest of the time? O, just some random rebooting of my XBOX One, game that keeps crashing all the time ... connection lost, lag. Bah. Tried reinstalling the game, didn't help.
Before the Season Pass I had some shady games connection wise, but this? This is a whole different thing. Glad I got a refund. Activision, get your fucking shit together.
I've been playing this game since it got released. Never seen a Mothership. Never. Started up my first Season Pass game and I get teamed up against a bunch of goddamn laggy fucks. I shot them in the back but they could simply turn around and kill me. How? Ok, might be my shitty aim. Let's do that aga... WHAT!? O here's a Mothership >_> Grenades seemed to turn into a puff of smoke ... and the entire enemy team watched "Wanted" way too many times. I'd dive out of the way and drop dead. Not even in the line-of-sight of my enemy. Lets just die around a corner because the walls in BO3 are made of Ritz-crackers.
Second game (last game, keep in mind .. I was TRYING to play for THREE FUCKING HOURS) .. Ok, let's just shoot. I shoot first, die first. Sure, that could happen once or twice depening on aim ... but ... NOPE. /quit.
Since I bought the Season Pass shit turned out way worse then it was before. The Microsoft Helpdesk said that there's alot of complaints regarding the stability of the Season Pass in combination with BO3. I'm (thankfully) not the only one.

I thought the Bloodthirsty medals required for the combat knife to get it gold would be awful, but I got them all done within a few games. Still a pain in the ass, but it went way faster than I thought it would!

The game hooked me completely after buying the Multiplayer Starter Pack. I was just about to bite the bullet and spend the $45 to upgrade to the full version... glad I checked prices, because I was able to pick up the full retail game for $22 at Target today.

I actually think the worst part of attempting to get Dark Matter, for me, is getting headshots, and just generally using a bunch of guns I don't like or want to use. I love LMG's, Snipers, and a bit of assault rifles. Pistols, SMG's and shotguns I rarely ever use, and they don't really fit the style of how I like to play. Ugh.
I don't mind getting headshots so much, but I hate the fact that I've set aside guns I loved so I could focus on the rest of the class. I haven't used the Pharo since forever ago, and it was my favourite gun early on.
I was also tearing through people with the ICR+High Calibre, and now it's received a buff but I haven't used it since just so I could focus on headshots with the remaining ARs.

This is me too. I golded all my favorite guns first and haven't gone back to them.
Pharo isn't nearly as good as it was. If you go back you will be pretty disappointed.
I've replaced Pharo with XR-2 pretty much

As I said, I primarily play with LMG's, and Snipers, and prefer a more defensive, and passive style of gameplay. (Especially since I generally play Domination and Safeguard.) Because of that, all I'd gotten gold before the past few days were the LMG's and Snipers. Getting the assault rifle headshots was super easy because of high caliber, and the fact that I could keep my distance a bit. The shotguns and SMG's force me to run and gun, a style which, while fun, and that I play on rare occasion, is draining for me currently. Especially with no high caliber on the SMG's, which makes headshots a lot tougher to get. Oh well. Just the VMP, and the Razorback left for SMG's!
The Pharo is a monster; it's OP in my opinion. I've been able to outgun people at ridiculous ranges, and slaughter them up close too. I just don't think an SMG should be able to do both of those things. Hahaha. I got the Pharo gold yesterday.
I know what you mean! I want to bust out my LMG's and Sniper rifles again. And I keep trying to play with my MX Garand. I'm still not sure how I feel about the MX Garand...it feels like something of a novelty. Though at mid to shorter ranges it can rip people apart, while still being quite effective at longer ranges. Overall, I'd say the Sheiva is probably the better gun though. But I'm not sure yet.

It's arguably not even worth it. After grinding a ton to get weapons gold the last few days, I definitely need a CoD break. Rainbow Six: Siege here I come!
Love the XR-2 as well, unfortunately it's another I've left behind.
It really isn't. I don't even think Dark Matter looks nice I just like working towards something while I prestige.
I might just get gold on my favourite guns and stop. Maybe gold for specialists too.

It keeps the game interesting, going for gold on guns. I would have never used some of these guns if I wasn't going for gold/diamond/dm. Forces me to play to each gun's strengths, which varies gameplay, and keeps it fresh, at least for me.
That is the single reason I will never get Dark Matter. Headshots eventually happen, and the other camos are easy. But I rarely stay alive long enough for 5 kills. I've gotten several guns gold but the Haymaker and most snipers will simply never happen.
The quest for Hero armor is ok. I've gotten the war machine character fully gold and I've completed a couple of other heads. Biggest issue is that I just run out of time before getting the final kills needed and get no progress. I had 3 glitch kills in one game and fumbled twice and got nothing. Or I'll have 4 kills with the scythe and screw up the next time I get it and die immediately. Having a limit on how often you get the abilities makes it frustrating.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
Is it me or does this game have longer loading between matches then past CODs?
Yeah, there's alot of brecci users running around lately.
Imo brecci is pretty awful, yet some players are really deadly with it, almost OP deadly.
It's really strange.
It was some kind of hack(I hate that word) or modded controller allowing them to shoot it that fast.
I reported them both, and no surprise their Gamercards had a caution sign on them.

I've experienced the same thing. Guys, we aren't joking. Imagine a a shotgun shooting as fast as a Kuda.
Yup, I'm imagining they could so the same with the MR6 and maybe the other semi-automatic weapons but they're obviously harder to use.
Also no surprise they had 20000 kills with the Brecci, and a few hundred or less with ervey other gun.
Here's a video of the Brecci in action, apparently it's something you can buy and plug your controller in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijJlAhcsWXM
