I got the Banshii shotgun and it's not amazing like everyone said. I mean it one shots but you actually have to aim and lead your shots since it travels.

Okay, so BlackJack is actually pretty fun to play as. The entire Specialist toolset at random is pretty great, and the calling card challenge was cool, too. Look forward to playing as him again next week.

On that note, fuck these cryptokeys and these "rare" boxes.

Watching a stream of these new weapons and I see the Rift E9, man what a joke, I guess it was only a matter of time before they put in these stupid ass weapons.

So the Rare supply drops say "Guaranteed Rare item with increased chance of Legendary and Epic. Guaranteed Weapon or Specialist item. Includes bonus Cryptokeys."

That is new language but not accurate. I just opened a rare with neither a specialist item or weapon. Fix your shit Treyarch. Granted, I've done that dozens of times, but that "Guaranteed Weapon or Specialist item" is new if I'm not mistaken, but clearly not accurate.

That text has been there for ages. You have to read it as guaranteed Weapon (Item) or Specialist Item. That includes camos and whatnot.

I got jack shit.

I finished the 75 wins and all I got was the Tempest melee weapon.

THEN Through all the rare packs I got the Iron Jim.... Again. So all this work for nothing.

Thanks. I tried that, and it cant seem to find enough players to start a match. Looks like I missed out on the Awakening playlist then, huh? :/

Yeah. The maps are supposed to be in the regular playlists at this point though.

Around 20 drops opened last night and my 75 win weapon bribe and all I got was the malice.

I swear I am not opening anymore of those damn things ever again.

The drops are complete crap. Getting weapons that actually shoot are next to impossible. That probably the reason why we rarely go up against people with newer weapons. 9/10 times I end up with:

Two Common decals
One Taunt.

Once and a while you can replace the decal with a weapon attachments for weapons I will never use.

I am making some progress with the snipers. I just started off with the locus and it was a nightmare. I have no idea why people would ever use that gun. It's awful.

Overall the Drakon (on hardcore) Locus P-06 haven't been that bad and I feel like I would be able to get some bloodthirsties with them. I have yet to really use the SVG but it cannot be worse than the locus.
 
So I've been playing a little again as a palette cleanser before the Bespin DLC for SWBF comes out. I started using the Dingo and I'm actually doing really well with it. Surprisingly so.

I just wish I could actually get a weapon in a drop, all I want is the MX Garand or the MP40.

I'm seeing dates that map pack 3 is landing tomorrow, is this true?
I'm thinking the trailer maybe?

I doubt they'd just drop it like that without fanfare.

I feel you man. I want those weapons, too.

But Bespin is gonna rock.

I did actually end up with that Seraph cowboy hat though out of one of them and it looks pretty cool in person. That ratio is pretty much what I get as well. Rare drops are just pure garbage.

So way back it was confirmed that opening Rare supply boxes was a bad way to spend your tokens. I think opening the common boxes had just as much of a chance for something Legendary or Epic dropping. Did they fix that?

Sorry, I'm trying to catch up on all the changes that have been made.

It think used to be that way. I was getting decent items at the beginning with the common chests but now I don't bother. It's been a while but the last few times I did open a common chest I ended up with decals and camos every time.

Now? I think once they realized how many suckers would pay actual cash for dust camo, decals and taunts they dialed the common chests back which in turn turns people toward the rare, and more expensive, chests.

The MP40 sucks ass, but I feel you on just wanting something new to mess around with.

Still haven't had a single weapon drop aside from the free Weapon Bribe even though I've had a couple of Emblems drop since.

I almost don't even want to try for one anymore knowing there are so many melee weapons.

I just need one more Mothership support kill to unlock the Air Assault master card, but no one ever calls Mothership in. Even when I get lucky and put on the side with a group of people playing there is never one called in.

Also making good progress toward Dark Matter now that I put my mind to it. Finished up Machine Guns this weekend and will wrap up Sniper Rifles today/tomorrow. All I have left then is Shotguns/Pistols/Knife. That is going to slow down progress since I have some work to do with them. I'm fairly far along with shotguns, but I need a fair amount of headshots with pistols. Knife will take a bit of work as well.

I'll bet $10 of COD points that they'll never have Weapon Bribes available on their own.

I agree. Why would they? God knows how much real money people are handing over to activision on a daily basis just to open chest full of decals, taunts and dust camo and if you're very very very lucky a knife skin.

Banshii gameplay. It drops a Mothership with 6 shots (one mag)...

Speaking of Drft0r, he said in a interview with one of the IW devs, that there would be tons and tons of weapons available in the game.

Perhaps IW will do Advanced Warfare style supply drops where there's only variants and not whole new weapons like in Black ops 3.

No thanks to variants, ruined AW. Well that and the terrible movement system.

Just noticed there will be bribes for weekly specialists theme when I logged into the game. The description said it will be for a specialist each day from Tuesday to Thursday. This week will be ruin, outrider and prophet in the following order. Anyone have more details to how many crypto keys it will cost?
