It actually is, ive always loved stabby classes in cod, ghosts was amazing for it. In old cods though everyones melee was a kill, in BLOPS3 its 2 punches unless from behind, so the knife actually has an advantage. I set up with dead silence, amplify headphones, fast hands, tracker, that blue perk that pings peoples direction, or sometimes 2x tripmines. Its a trolls paradise, and I am a huge cod troll. Even using overdrive with ruin so im running around like a crazy guy slashing everything up, brilliant.

False, fists are ALWAYS two hit kills (excluding if the enemy is already damaged). What you're thinking about is performing a melee attack with a firearm, which is two hits (unless from behind or damaged).

GGs Gore. That was the first time I've played in a few months, so excuse the rust. Did manage to stay in the top 3 though.

For sure, it was fun. Don't worry about it, I wasn't doing so hot myself but I got my streaks in the end so I'm happy.

That last match though *shivers* Dead Silence and Awareness is my weakness. I have respect for all players but those type of guys are the people that frustrate me the most.

Opened 7 drops and got the HG-40! And the butterfly knife! Makes up for getting nothing but trash last 12.

Nice!
Were they normal or rare? I keep opening the normal ones because I have no patience and the only weapon I got so far is the Malice

I have nearly everything but the baseball bat, HG-40 and a few gear sets and everything came from normal.
Had spent about $80 overall on Rare drops and the Carver knife is the only special I got besides camo.

Rare. The common rates are just too poor.

Also, the HG-40 is really weak in its current state. Really weak fire rate and recoil. Standard damage (3hk at best). Good, far from great range.

The HG 40 should be renamed the Slow, Unstable Kuda or the Shit Man-o-War. This gun is at odds with itself and has no real advantages. You guys aren't missing out.

Why is everyone comparing the HG40 to the Kuda? Everyone is saying it's a bad version of a Kuda, but I'm looking from a different perspective.

Has anyone ever thought that the HG40 could be a BETTER Razorback? I mean, they have around identical ranges and fire rates, except that the HG40 has a three shot kill minimum while the Razorback has a four shot kill minimum. Just add rapid fire, a grip, a BOA 3 and a suppressor and it'll all be good

That's just a thought of mine. I've never thought of it as a worse Kuda but as a better Razorback.

Edit: Then again I don't have the weapon so forgive my ignorance.

Nah, the Razorback is over 100 RPM faster than the HG 40. HG 40 shares it's fire rate with the Man-o-War and the BRM. And it's increased range is almost completely negated by it's recoil, whereas the Razorback is a steady operator. I compare it to the Kuda because they're the only non-burst SMGs that have a 3hk range. The first saving grace of the HG 40 is that it has almost twice the 3hk range of the Kuda. But that means just about jack squat when the Kuda can get 4 bullets out faster than the HG 40 can get 3 out (0.328 seconds vs 0.348 seconds). The second saving grace of the HG 40 is that it has the highest minimum damage of all the SMGs by 4 points. It's still only 23 damage though. If it were 25, and thus a 4hk from any range, that might be something, but nope. 5 hits at far ranges, which is asking for death when you're dealing with that fire rate and recoil.

Weapon's strengths don't do nearly enough to counteract it's weaknesses.

Much excitement had with this lately. Did my 200 knife kills and brought up the extra challenges, actually got a bloodthirsty streak when I crossed the 200 line, on 201, and it counted as a proper one. Got the backstabbers and revenges easy enough, on core FFA. The backfire one was a bit tricker until I worked out a great way to do it.

Go on hardcore - yes i know, super dangerous with a knife, late at night when the games arent that busy. There were 5 in the game. So I got a knife kill, grabbed the guys gun and then sound whored inside a building. Heard footsteps anywhere near me, and lucky for me he was a scythe guy without dead silence, so he was stomping around. From my 1 knife kill on him, grabbing his AR, I went on an 11 streak, getting the 4 more backfires I need from a single life. Yup, 1 knife kill gives you as many backfire kills on that guy as you can stay alive with. 4 more bloodthirsties on core and the knife is done.

Made decent progress during the weekend. Went from prestige 7 level 30-something to prestige 8 level 22 unlocked some random camos on a bunch of guns by completing headshots and 1-shot kills and golded the XR2 and in the process made some german dude rage in german and in caps for sniping him with it over and over on fringe.

Got the missus into blops3 aswell since the game was on steam for 24 quid. She hasn't really played an fps game actively since MoHAA and shes loving blops mp even though she still has a lot to learn. Played a few levels of the campaign with her too and was pleasantly surprised at how well the co-op campaign works.

Got to level 50. Have all the challenges beside the bloodthirsties for the Gorgon done. 48 dredge is next. Gun is decent but the problem is that sometimes it's one burst to kill someone sometimes it's two.

Overall though I am getting bored of going for Dark matter. I cannot really play the way I want because I am spending just spending endless hours just going for head shots. No end in sight either because I still have three more shotguns to get gold, four more snipers, two sidearms and the knife.

hardcore and high caliber will get that down to a 1 headshot burst. couple more bloodthirsties for my p06 and then start the final sniper, and start the dredge from scratch to do. 3 more bloodthirstes for the knife and thats all my secondaries done too. I find it does a few things to my game, makes me naturally good at headshots when they present themselves now, makes me love being to have a full body target once its done, and made backfire with the knife a joy. got a 10 kill streak with 4 knives then someone elses gun holding down barn on fringe, felt so easy to have a gun in my hand no one could get near me.

Im not sure how i'll feel when its all done, go for the gold specialists I guess and double level each weapon. Got 870 cryptos sat there too, im certain there'll be a new weapon drop next week, maybe even the 10th specialist coming from the supply drop. Seems to be rumours everywhere you get to play as the shop guy.

Trearch and Activision are getting alot of heat for the supply drop stuff already. If they double down and make a specialist gated like that and keep his drop rate super low people may just burn down Activision's office.

Good, I'm glad they are. I admit there is part of me that gets a thrill from rare items, but 10 whole weapons? I'd have even settled for the same rare rates but no paying for keys, just to keep things exciting. This is just exploitation though, they ruined every other franchise they had with greed.

Went from P2-52 to P3-21 over the weekend, playing pretty casual - maybe 10-12 hours total. Man I love double XP weekends, although I am never going to hit P10 :(

I dunno if its been a thing forever or if I just started noticing it but a lot of late night games in Nuketown involved people rushing the other side, causing spawn swaps every 15-25 seconds. Meant if you stayed still for more than 10 secs you were likely to get a bat in the back of the head. It just became a game of run and gun, kinda fun but not really my style.

Can't wait to check out the new maps tomorrow, wonder if they will have an awakening bonus mode and new eclipse or just replace awakening with eclipse.

Nice, most of my favorite weapons got buffed in one way or another.

Surprised that the KN-44 slipped by untouched. I can't tell you how many times that thing has beaten me (with a shotgun or an SMG) in close quarters, just from clutch firing from the hip. The rate of fire and 3hk potential is aggravating. Hip fire is supposed to be the HVK's forte.

I went ahead and pre-ordered the DLC. Wasn't sure but I'm still mostly having fun with the game so why not? Hit level 58 last night, got the Haymaker and vmp gold over the weekend, and the Vision Pulse registration buff is nice. I'm working on the Pharo now and the MR6. I played a few HC games last night for the first time ever and it was actually a lot of fun.

At some point though I'm going to have to tank my meager kd to go for the sniper camos. I'm absolute shit with them in this game. I think I have a total of 7 sniper kills and I've played for like 10 days. I never thought I'd go for dark matter but if I could get gold with the haymaker and the weevil, then I guess the sky's the limit. Weirdly, I'm having the biggest problem with the xr-2. I suck with it and it's the last assault that I need for diamond. The Argus is the last shotgun I need too and it's just the bloodthirstys that are holding that up. Hopefully the hipfire buff with help for when I miss the first aimed shot.

perfect timing on the vision pulse buff, thank god. Nice patch, ante up a superb bonus, about time it became viable. It started at 75. Ciuldnt abuse the 2xp as much as i'd like but i've done a whole prestige up on it anyway, mid 40s prestige 7 to mid 40s prestige 8, now for those dredge headshots.

Knew it was worth keeping my keys, new weapons are coming, theyre in the new map behind a glass case, 3 from blops 2 including that super buff shotgun, and something from WaW.

Pharo got buffed?

I will be unstoppable with that thing then!!

:p

The ICR is pure garbage or what attachments I have to put on it?

I need another reliable weapon, not named KN.

Just put High Calibre on the ICR and aim for the head, there's almost zero recoil.
