Wait...what would happen if you join a lobby with the DLC maps available for voting, but then your friend without the DLC joins your lobby?

He would get kicked from the game for not having the maps I'd think. That's what they used to do. Or, he would potentially not be allowed to join the lobby at all if you are voting for DLC maps only.

Fuck me I enjoyed the campaign way more than I should of. Gaf told me it had the worse COD campaigns, I would rate it as one of favs.

I thought it was amazing but should of being called Advanced Warfare 2. Has no connection to previous Black Ops games outside Raul Mendez mentioned during a part of the game and with Nova gas showing up acouple times.

That ending.
so the Player was Taylor the whole time right?

I recommend checking out the hidden meaning behind the campaign. I find it cool how Corvus is also the name of a genus of birds that involve crows and Ravens, which is why they are primarily what you see when you
hallucinate
.

But the main idea is as follows:

The actual main character is dead/dying, and has been ever since the very first mission. Also, the text before every mission is Taylor's journal. In it, Taylor talks about him tracking down and finding out a rogue agent that turned against them. The player's dying brain, in an effort to make sense of what is going on, makes some sort of story revolving what it knows, Taylor's life and the current technology of the time. So since the player takes the place of Taylor in Taylor's life, Taylor becomes the rogue agent. I remember there was this one quote "I guess that this time around, I'm the bad guy." This is also why some romance was achieved with the female soldier who died from Nova Gas, because that was Taylor's significant other before he decided to augment himself. This is also why the levels in the game appear to have bad writing and make no sense chronologically, like how you it seems you meet the war hero for the first time in Sand Castle when you've already met him in the first mission. That is an example of the chaos of the dying brain, and the act of living the life of Taylor. Corvus was most likely created as a reason to explain why the agent went rogue. In the end, the scene with the mirror on the final level is supposed to be the "OHHHHH" moment. The last scene when the player says his name is Taylor brings closure to the dying brain, and when everything goes all black, it is assumed that that is when the player flatlines and dies.

I really want Gold for my precious Dingo.

But to do that, I need to get the Ardent camo for it, which involves getting 10 Revenge medals on a player using the Dingo.

I am like the only person on matchmaking who uses the Dingo.

Help.

No no no, you just have to get revenge medals while you yourself are using the Dingo on whoever killed you. It should come fairly naturally as long as you stick to that weapon.

Ah, I see.

Then 10 of those shouldn't be too hard at all. In fact, none of the post-headshot camos seem difficult at all to get besides the Bloodthirsty one.

However, I don't understand why it's only just now counting some of this stuff. I'm sure I already have the 5 Bloodthirsty medals with only the Dingo, but it only counts them once you get the Policia camo? Argh.

I feel like I should play the lottery. I've received a NX ShadowClaw and MX Garand out of chests so far this weekend. The ShadowClaw is a blast to use. The Garand is good, but the no reload thing is rather annoying.

So Activision accidentally leaked the next Zombies map and it looks intriguing.

Cool, I guess. I still have only played Zombies like three times. It's hard to get into it. I'd need to watch youtube videos and read guides, but I rather just play the mp.

I really hope the next DLC gives us a new Specialist.

Please don't put the new Specialist in a supply drop.

Had a pretty good weekend. Not that I really ever use melee weapons but I got the crowbar in one of the chests.

Finally got my 2nd glitch double kill. What pain that was. Got it playing safeguard on infected. I ran to the other teams spawn, threw a grenade did a glitch, killed on person with the grenade and shot another one.

Does anyone else have their PS4 react extremely slow or freeze for a few seconds when using the OS while playing the multiplayer?

The game itself is fine but the PS4 acts like its about to die

I'm having some trouble downloading the new update on my PS4 - I keep getting an error message asking me to delete unnecessary content from system storage. Could anyone please assist me as to what I should be doing ?

You have too much data on your PS4. You need to delete apps, stuff from the capture gallery, games, etc.

Any save data has to be deleted. Not all of it, though. Just delete enough save data to have space for the update.

Edit: Out of all the animated calling cards, which of these looks the best?

-Master Killer
-Killjoy Master
-Bootcamp Master
-Air Assault Master

To those having issues with the glitch double kills and such:

Make sure you use a class with a grenade (frag or semtex preferred)

If you use your grenades alot use scavenger perk.

Go into HC Domination. Get your ability charged. When an enemy is taking a point, cook a frag a little and toss it onto the dom point. If using semtex just toss it onto the point.

immediately glitch. If you are lucky (I did this in two games) you will kill two or three, sometimes 4 people taking the point. You just make sure you glitch before it kills them and it counts.

That strategy has helped alot of my friends get that done.

The only new weapon I got before this set was the crossbow.

Honestly, if they want to keep putting more weapons and such in the game like this they need to have more double cryptokey weekends to compensate.

Oh boy do I feel stupid, I was under the impression it had something to do with already owning the DLC packs now available in the update, many thanks !

It's pretty much this shit that makes me want to not play the game. Should have expected this with Activision .

I really wish they would prevent you from getting dupes of items you already have. While I did get the crowbar a typical haul for me using 30 keys is two duplicate common items and a taunt.
