Hey guys I just bought a stereo headset adapter for the xbone for my pulse elites. I've read people say they can use the mic/headset no problem through the adapter, except my mic doesn't appear to be working.

Any thoughts?
Trade in your controller and buy a new one that has the jack built into it maybe?

Sniping is easier than the beta as things don't speed up when scoped in now, but still no aim assist throws you off quire a bit.

Gonna go to gamestop and ask for a game case. I need order on my shelf. Why couldn't the juggernog edition come with the regular box and steelbook.

Yes, i am weird.

I have a newer xbone controller that has the jack. tried it with that and am getting the same issue. thought the adapter would fix.

Silly question, but would the fact that I'm on a 14 day live trial affect that?

Did you try updating the controllers firmware?

Having fun with zombies mode, guess I really should try the MP now and see how much the specialist stuff changed from beta.

Man what a fun game.

Runs flawless 60fps on my PC, looks and plays great, no dumb lag and the mechanics are fun and tight as hell.

Really happy I picked this up,washes the foul taste of Ghosts and the bland taste of Advanced Warfare out of my mouth.

Amen, I played a little of AW because a pal let me try it, but this is my first cod in a while.

No updates available. Brand new controller that came with my white xbone the other day.

For me it's a BIG return to form. Having Sunk around 5 hours into it now I'm loving it the more I play. I wasn't a fan of the boosting/wall running in AW but I think it's been well integrated here. Some of the maps are superb. Breach and Fringe being the stand out for me.

Best cod since blops 2 that's for sure. Hell it might even replace that if I'm still playing this in months to come.

This snippet from a review made me really want to play the campaign, but the damn PC port seems like crap and I don't have a console. :/

'It’s not a simple and obvious summer blockbuster narrative. Treyarch has written a deep and multi-layered story that is sure to create discussion, and the apogee of the final mission had me thinking back to my entire experience — trying frantically to piece everything together. It’s not that everything is abstract, but certain revelations flip a basic understanding of the story upside down, and past that, everything is thrown into a surging black hole and you are left to question what it means exist and be you. Look at me droning on. I said I wouldn’t talk any more about it, but I just can’t help it. It’s a story that demands to be talked about. Let me know when you finish it, I really want to discuss it further, but for now, I’m going to talk about gameplay.'
 
Decided to make a emblem lol:

You can do a whole lot with 64 layers now!

and here's a picture of that Combat Immersion mode that's in the Safehouse during campaign:

Brilliant return to form based on the first few hours of MP. It's actually fun again!

I had a weird issue tonight - my X1 uses instant on, and since BO3 was the last game I played it resumed no problem, but the multiplayer was 30fps locked instead of 60fps. Absolutely 100% certain it was not running at 60fps. I'll be going back on in an hour or so, so I'll have to see if it happens again.
 
After playing Halo 5 I can't stop pressing A to sprint which sucks because I kind of preferred it. Also can't remember what sensitivity I used in the beta.

This is easily the least excited I've been for a COD, despite being from the best developer of the franchise. I bought it last night, got home and put it in, waited 45 min to download the 2.5GB patch (what a joke). After all that, I could barely find the energy to start playing it. I played like 5 matches and it was pretty fun. I'll give it another go when I get home. I think Battlefield ruined COD for me.

So my sister bought Black Ops 3 today, as she always played local campaign for the past CoD's with her friend. Ijust had to inform her she just wasted $50 and they cut the campaign on last gen.

We can SWIM? AND SHOOT UNDERWATER?

Goddamn..

Also didn't know about boost sliding, that's also really cool.

Wall running and such works great, too.

I'm still blown away by people who'll spend $50-$60 for a 6 hour COD campaign.

The framerate is solid, don't know what anyone else is smoking.

This is the true evolution of the FPS. Responsive as fuck, gorgeous, fast, and frentic.

Connections are instantaneous and you're square into the action.

Moving around is SHARP. Compared to AW, it's on a totally different level.

I'm not a tech wizard when it comes to scalable resolutions, but I can say it moves fast, plays fast, and this is what I envisioned when I bought my ps4.

This SMOKES Halo in every conceivable way so far.

Did you check to see if there was a controller or adapter update? Are you on the new NXE dash? I've heard a few people with Astros have the same problem on the new dash.
To answer question no a trial should not have anything to do with that

Honestly, the PC port is fine.

I would say more people are playing it without a problem than those who are suffering the odd hiccup.

Plus Treyarch seem to be working hard to fix any issues, they just released a small patch to fix the i5 problems.

Okay... So my mic works in multiplayer. I think the problem I'm having is when I'm in a party with a friend. He can't hear me.

Anyone else experience this?

Sounds like same issue people with Astros on new dash are having. Even my Turtle Beaches would do it at times. Hard reset or switch from party to gamschat back to party a few times and it should fix it.
