I wish I would've been able to find out, as well. As it turns out, I got around 21 kills with my streaks before I suffered from a communication error and was was taken out of the game.

Were you in the Mothership at the time you got the communication error? Out of about 300 motherships, I've had the communication error about 20 of them. So frustrating.
The game just seems to get stuck as you're inside the mothership and then you get booted out of the game completely.

Yeah! Now that you mention it, I actually was inside the Mothership. That's weird..

^ World's Fastest Mothership at the start of a game? I obtained the Wraith, RAPS, and Mothership at approximately 23, 32, and 45 seconds, respectively.

I have no idea what up with the game but it's fucking broken right now. None of the shit below saved to the server:


Finally got the three double kill with the hives, it came up saying the gear is unlocked then when I go to equip it is still locked saying I need another double kill.

Three blood thirstys with the Pharo and only one counted.

20 kills with the Pharo with no attachments and it didn't give me credit for on kill.

5 double kills, camo unlocked for the Pharo, go to check it i says I need one more double kill.

So, Driftor credited someone on Reddit for doing the math on the rare drop openings.

If you just went and bought the $1.99 cod points and spent them, it would be $81 per weapon.

Obviously buying in bulk changes that total some, but still, its crazy.

According to the math, the new weapons have a <1% drop rate.

Emblems have the same percentage as weapons?

Bullshit, I get those stupid things all of the time.

The best are Xclusive Ace's spawn guides on YouTube. Watch the first one first since he explains how spawns work in general, then gets into specific maps with additional videos. Learning the maps and spawns is critical to success. What game mode do you play?

Not that I am great at the game but I do have a few things that may help:

Avoid running on the middle of the map.

While playing TDM I tend to stick to one area of the map and just sort of patrol it. Most of the time the enemy will just come to me and I can get a few kills that way.

As for the spawns: YouTube would be a good place to look for that info.

However a general rule is seeing which way your teammates are pointing on the mini-map. If most of them are pointing in the same direction the spawn is usually behind them.

Yes, you can get weapons from both rare and common supply drops.



Okay, I think I'm a fairly good source for some advice (at least for Domination). If you're Moti_D, I'm sure you've seen my work. As mentioned, watch XclusiveAce's spawn guides. Alright, the first thing you should know is to never go down the middle of the map unless you are certain it is safe. It is always advised to go around the outskirts or the lesser traversed areas so that you can attack foes from the sides or back. For me, I usually use a silencer, ripper, and ghost because I do not like being seen since it just isn't my style. Using those things could help, but aren't necessary. If you're not silenced, I advise trying to assume that everyone is always seeing you from every angle. Therefore, try to anticipate the worst, even if it means aiming through corners. In such cases, it's best to maintain your gunfights in areas that you won't be attacked from many positions (that's why the middle of the maps are usually death zones, too many possibilities). I also recommend using BOTH (you need to have both on) QuickDraw and fast hands, since they'll help you have an extremely noticeable advantage in gunfights. They'll help you aim and shoot faster after sprinting. Use them if the options are available in your class (I actually can't do that with my class, giving me a disadvantage and making me pre-aim a lot). If you're using an SMG, use your mobility to your advantage, especially if you're using QD + FH. Be as unexpected as possible, and stay within your range. If you're using an assault rifle, play to your weapon's strength and move from cover to cover. Your lack of mobility is absolutely deadly if you're using an AR. Your best bet is to always engage through long sightlines and while behind cover. An exposed AR user is usually an easy kill.

Also, in regards to general knowledge. Always assume that your enemies are where your teammates ARE NOT. Don't rely on the UAV too much. Focus on the flow of battle and death icons.

Thanks for the tips guys.
Some very good advice that some of it might seem obvious in hindsight but I haven't thought about it that way.

Also, I really need to improve my gun game cause I'm losing some very easy gun fights :s And yes I am Moti_D

BTW, I tried the Razorback after watching that video and it might be my favotite gun right now. It really is an AR and an SMG all at one

My class with the Razorback is as follows:

Razorback with BOA 3 (or the ELO sight, it's your preference. Heck if you don't want a sight that's fine but I feel it adds to the long range accuracy), silencer, fast mags, and rapid fire.

My perks are Ghosts, Ante Up, and Scavenger.

I've been playing this on PS4 for about a week and really enjoy it, however I'm a lot worse than I was at Blops2. I feel like its much harder to aim, I get killed in a lot fewer hits by anything, and its much faster paced. Does any of what I say have merit?

Until now, my lowest cod ratio was in AW which was around 1.15, but I'm usually up around the 1.30 range in all previous games...In BO3 I'm at 1.05...So my age is slowing my reflexes or I'm just getting worse. Either way, I'm pretty bad at this game.

Same and it's fun.

Was on Nuketown and two guys were running round with baseball bats so I had to get my pink wrench out :D within minutes I saw swords and a bow.

Also I was expecting fast mags on the Marshall to be a little faster tbh think I may opt for dual wield when I've unlocked it.

The game is built for the run and gun playstyle at the expense of other playstyles, has less depth, and depth of playstyles, and lots of cheap and lame stuff, so it's not just you, no. What you're saying has merit for sure.

I tried this build but I realized I cannot play without Quick Hands and Sixth Sense

Hmm, to each their own. If you don't mind me asking, what exact difficulties were you experiencing with the class? In that case, let me try building another class for you.

Fast Hands is a good perk, but remember that it is essentially ONLY useful IF you're also using the QuickDraw attachment on your weapon. You have to have both or none at all. I'm not going to lie, I would probably run it if I had the ability, but I've grown used to aiming just a little bit before turning a corner, giving me a similar effect. The only times I see the consequences are when I run into a VMP or something at close range. Even then, I can still sometime manage to beat them with hipfire or even while aiming down the sights.

I find sixth sense to be a perk that hinders performance. I would recommend using it until you start figuring out the spawn patterns and where enemies are likely to be/go. The reason I don't use it is because I found myself worrying and focusing too much on finding the enemy whenever the indicator appeared, and it usually got me killed. However, if you're dedicated to Sixth Sense, you might as well think about using Tracker.

Consider Hard Wired, it does a lot.

Blind Eye, Cold Blooded, and Engineer alongside the Blackcell launched and EMP grenades will be a great scorestreak destroying class.

For me, Ghost is a must have perk. I just absolutely hate being seen, so I really need to use it (especially with the UAV spam)

Edit: Since you need Sixth Sense, I had to take away Ghost and the suppressor.

This class is what I came up with, even though I would never use a weapon that does not have a silencer.

Razorback with ELO/BOA, QuickDraw, fast mags, rapid fire. Perks are sixth sense, fast hands, and scavenger.

I suppose if you wanted a suppressor you could just remove fast mags, but you'd have to be careful when reloading.

That's the 1049 SPM gameplay. The first round wasn't exciting since I do not like Nuketown or the HATR (my party didn't want me destroying with a Mothership), but it really picks up and the score starts rolling in round 2.

I took a snapshot of the after-action report to back up what I'm saying, and I'll be happy to send it to anyone who wants evidence via the PSN messaging system. However, I'm sure you guys will take my word for it.

I'm the opposite, the lowest I ever really run IS the Wraith. I don't find them to be that difficult to earn (in fact, I'll let you know how many of each of those I've called in). It's all about positioning, to be honest. That's all you need.

After a 2 week Division break its nice to just get back into a pure PVP, no farming crap game. People keep talking about possible crypto chests that will guarantee a weapon, so may wanna hold onto crypto keys until we see what shakes out there.

I'm only prestige 2, can't ever imagine hitting rank 1000 prestige 10.

I doubt they ever will be a weapon bribe chest. Maybe a one time only guaranteed weapon chest, but nothing like the hero theme bribe.

I really like the backstory and audio transmissions Treyarch gave to each specialist. How is it they each give the characters their own personality but completely shit the bed with the campaign?

How exactly did they shit the bed with the campaign? You're aware of the hidden meaning and true story of the campaign, correct?

Finally unlocked all the normal armor for the specialist classes. Working on the hero armor now which I know is going to be difficult. I don't think I am going to try unlock all the armor, just the classes I like.

I am not a huge nuketown fan but playing on the map has make it much easier to unlock camo's and armor. I don't think I am going to play another map until I unlock everything.
