Been playing COD since COD4 and most of my friends have moved on. I mostly play HC and am above average. Feel free to send me an invite BankyConan. I play mostly Thursday - Saturday at nights. Thanks guys!
 
What's a good ar to put a silencer on?

The KN44 is the only real one worth putting a silencer on in my opinion. In fact, it might make it more reliable since a silencer pretty much makes it so that it is always four shots to kill.

All the other ARs suffer A LOT more and it's generally not worth it on them.

Have to admit as much I dislike nuketown it's nice when it's on the playlist because playing on the maps is a great way to grind out Camo's.

I did make some progress with the shotguns this weekend. Haymaker (Thank god) is gold and I am 22 kills away from the 100 kills with the argus. I am going to have a hard time getting the bloodthirsties for this gun though.

Sit in the blue house on nuk3town, bottom floor behind the chair in the corner, awareness perk, silencer, tracker and hardcore. You'll have 5 within an hour.

Got my knife gold this weekend. (So happy)

I have the following guns left:

Assault Rifles:

Sheiva - still working on the 100 headshots
M8 - just need to do the specific camos now

Sniper Rifle:

SVG - on about 80 of 100 one shot kills

Secondary weapons:

RK 5 - on about 50 of 100 headshots
LCAR - on about 80 of 100 headshots


Been working on the pistols first since I feel they will take longer than anything else at this point.

For me, it was the easiest sniper to get gold. Its so fun to use.

Easiest sniper is the Locus and the Drakon for me. When I decided I wanted to get everything gold turns out I've already done 90% of the camos already.

I hate having to charge up a shot, most of the time I'm already dead by the time I've peeked my head up.
 
So I just tried out the Haymaker for the first time ever and I got a Mothership on my first game with it. It's probably one of the best (if not the best) shotguns.

Haymaker is my baby. Brecci is as good (possibly better depending on control method), but Haymaker is just completely easy mode. It's especially good if you have good movement and approach gunfights from different angles.

Mix that with Ante Up/Purifier and you have easy mode Wraith/HATR/whatever.

Just got it, questions about the campaign grind.

If you fuck up a accolode requirement, I'm 100% donezo right unless I redo the whole entire mission? These missions are long as all hell with these talking cutscenes.

Any bugs/workarounds for realistic difficulty? Any good places to farm kills/levels?
 
This person apparently is very fond of the XM-53.

ya i use outrider, but i rarely see anyone use it. tried other specializations but like the vision ability the most

I use Spectre and his weapon called the Ripper, it's so simple but so easy to use and amazing because it has a ton of little things that other weapons don't have. Instant deployment, 150 score for kills, fastest charge time, etc.

The reason that not many people use Outrider is because the Sparrow requires skill and precision to use while the Vision Pulse has too many warnings for the enemies (when you use it, you appear on the map as a red dot for a split second, the enemies can see the radius of effectiveness of the pulse and can see it traveling on the map, and the enemy glows red when they're tagged).

The Purifier is my favorite. It's easy to pile on the kills and wipe out a team with it. I understand things are a little different on PC thanks to mouse aim, so maybe it's just not as OP on console.

It's properly OP on PC, people can just do an immensly fast 360 with the mouse sensitivity cranked up and torch a whole team. Heck my missus is only just getting into the game and even she can rack up some serious kills with the purifier. I for one will be running Kuda/purifier combo when I'm done with this DM stuff, just to pwn sum newbz! :p

Purifier in general is easy mode even on console, just spray in the general direction. Similar to Reaper's Scythe.

I'm a fan of Annihilater because it works super well with destroying air support (UAV, Wraith, etc.)

Tempest is pretty good in that department too. I like it for the hip-fire capabilities.

I rock Seraph because her saying Ruin down is always entertaining. Also that gun is something awesome. Shooting a sniper across the map, is the best, also when you rack up kills and it say "Wrecked"

I'm the same with ruin. I love when he says "Have a good fuckin' day now" after killing someone with the gravity spikes.

I do find her frequent "hmph"s pretty funny. And when Nomad says "heading for cover" at the beginning of a match and she responds with "coward! Stand and fight!"

Hardly a challenge. Hmph.

I despise Seraph's "THE 54 IMMORTALS WILL CRUSH ALL OPPOSITION" victory quote.

Usually because some guy on Prestige Master just went 54-2 in TDM with her.

I have her set to say "I'll win, and make it look easy. Hmph."

A bit of a weird thing to say after winning, but...

I need to finish dark matter, all I have left is the rockets but I dunno if I care enough at this point to do those. I have to rely on others getting killstreaks for those and I hate that.

I can't stand the post game celebration. How the camera pans, the music and the dance and voice seem clunky

It seems like a last minute addition, honestly.

I don't hate it, but I do hate how completely gestures have over-saturated the Black Market. They're like the reinforcement care packages of Black Ops 3. Just there to dilute the good stuff.

+1 for team Ruin! I love it when he goes "SUPERIOR FUCKING FORCE!" with his dudebro voice, its so stupid and blunt that its actually good.

My DM grind is nearing its end with only BRM and Dingo left once I'm finished with the Razorback. Speaking of which... I kinda find the Razorback a bit strange. It seems to be pretty mediocre at longer range, ADS also seems a bit inaccurate and for me the jury is still out for hip firing. Just did a round of Combine where at times I couldn't hit shit and then I go and get 2 quad feeds with it.

[Edit] Damn! Dingo with rapid fire and thermal destroys in hardcore
 
Team Spectee here, but I'm sure anyone saw that coming.

I mean:

"Dead Man Walking" when seeing an enemy.

"Reaper? Hardly." After killing reaper.

"Heh, we'll see if you have anything to teach." After Prophet's "Watch and learn brothers, this is the future of armed combat."

"Why not mix business AND pleasure?" After Seraph's "It's not personal, only business."

"Spear? Is that what they told you? You're a club." After Ruin's "Tip of the Spear" line.

"You need to attack more than once? You should work on that." After Ruin's "ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!"

I also like the 1st place gesture where he goes "Death is an old friend, don't make me call in any favours". The cheese on that is so good.

"You wouldn't need a cleaner to take you out, a janitor would suffice."

"I am become death, destroyer of scrubs."

"You talk a big talk. Place yourself under my ripper, and we'll see what's on the inside."

"You survived! Reward enough."
 
Hello guys sorry for jumping in -- I want to know:

1) I am just getting PS4 version of Black Ops 3 today and waiting for delivery (I know it is old). How much total GB of updates from 1.00 to the latest?

2) Is online connection required for Single-player campaign?

Thanks.

Accidentally did the last vision pulse challenge today... and the last Rejack challenge... hit prestige 10... oh and finally finished the DM grind. Feels so good! I can finally play guns I enjoy rather than ones I need headshots with or whatever. Just need to plow through to 55 of prestige 10 so I can unlock everything.
