Congrats man! You're the only person I've seen on my FL ALWAYS playing, since I started jumping on again. Now I see why lol
Just wrapped up this small challenge. I only really started going for it in the last 2 weeks after realizing how far along I was with most guns. I wanted to pass out when I saw it pop up on the screen finally. Now back to playing with some regular guns before maybe going for DM on Black Market weapons.
I will say, I think the grind really helped me out as a player in adapting to new guns and play styles. I'm not the best player in the world, but definitely feel more confident after this grind.
Edit: Well, I guess this is a good way to kick off another page.

Nice , I had to bow out of that grind as I cannot stand the vesper.
Thanks!
Thanks! My friends list is 95% DestinyGAF and you're about the only one that plays COD as well lol.
Vesper was a bit brutal initially to get done. However, once I understood the gun a bit better it was a lot easier. It is actually somewhat decent if you can rush your opponents and get close to them. With the recoil the head shot part didn't take near as long as I thought it would. I'll never use the gun again though lol.
It seems most people dread the knife, but I got the challenge parts done after 200 kills in literally 5 games at the most. I got lucky against a team that had no clue what was going on so I got Bloodthirsty over and over. I was quite relieved to get that one out of the way. I actually had a blast with a knife only class with smoke. The chaos it created was hilarious.
There were only two guns that were annoying to me to get gold on, the Haymaker and Argus. The Haymaker was just a pain to get head shots with. The Argus is just inconsistent. Sometimes you kill someone across the map, next time they are 3 feet away and you get hit markers.
Vesper was the best gun in the game early on, should have done it then!
I gave up on Dark Matter, just wasn't having any fun playing anymore trying to use the LMGs. Not terrible guns, but it feels like you're moving through mud, and they don't mesh with my play style.

DLC 3 in July is normal -- and we're nearing the end of June, so I'd expect DLC 3 to be revealed next week. Probably Tuesday as always. Any guesses on what the remade map will be this time around? Probably time for something from BO1?
Nothing OP aside from possibly the Marshal 16, which is basically just a shotgun. The rest of the Black Market weapons have their own risks and rewards and are quite balanced. Nothing is pay to win. Pleasant surprise when I get one, mainly to level and get some XP out of with new camo unlocks.
I ran the vesper for headshots in Hardcore FFA with fast mags and extended mags on a sprint class. Never aimed down the sites, just sprayed. Surprisingly effective. It becomes like a long range shotgun. Also was easier to adjust the aim towards the head when not aiming down sights. I averaged 4-5 headshots per match that way, sometimes as many as 8.

After spending a couple hours playing dom tonight, have to agree. The respawns are complete shit if you ask me.
Pretty sure people have figured out how far up they can push to keep the spawns the same and decimate people. Of course, I've also had plenty of games where I spawn in and there is an enemy in my spawn and he immediately kills me, so who knows for sure.
edit: New annoyance: If I leave the game and go watch netflix or turn my system off or whatever, when I come back to BO3 all the saved camos on my created class guns are gone and they are set to none.
its so annoying.

I wish COD would adopt the home base style of gameplay. Conquest Domination from Battlefield 3 and 4 is a far superior 3 flag quick capture mode because it has protected home bases.

If people defended b and didn't try to triple cap then it wouldn't be so bad...
That's DLC 4 in September. DLC 3 will come out in July.

Spawn trap for the win, play in a team that keeps the line and you can clean up.

Edit: Looks like its a remake of Raid.
Yeah, I remember they confirmed that Raid would be one of the remade maps before any of the DLC was officially announced.

Nice, I love Raid. Hopefully the movement doesn't ruin it.

"Be among the first to play Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare Multiplayer, Call of Duty®: Infinite Warfare Zombies, Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® Remastered Multiplayer, and Call of Duty®: Black Ops 3 DLC 4! all before they are released."- from the "Hands On" section of the site for XP 2016, which takes place Sept. 2-4.
And as you can see above, DLC 3 was teased today with the Zombies trailer confirmed for tomorrow.
So the FFAR isn't a great gun at all. Too many issues with it. It kicks, the ADS is slow and the reload takes too long.
After months and months of going for dark matter camo, and doing poorly I finally get a message from someone saying I am a feeder. (I assume that means I am feeding the other team kill streaks)
I guess this is what happens when you're using sniper rifles and pistols the past two months. I am using the SVG-100 and like the locus I suck with it.

Looks amazing and I have so many questions.

IT'S HERE BOYS!
Nikolai continues to be the most melodramatic character of the four.
EDIT: Beaten like the Shadowman.

People are saying Ray Gun Mark III.
I doubt it, but it could be something related to the new Dragon Shield.
And why does Nikolai call it Stalingrad? Bruh, the last time he saw that city it was called Tsaritsyn.
It also looked like the Ripper is in it now after rewatching. I wonder if they're going to try and add in a ton of specialist abilites. Only a matter of time until we can get the Purifier.
I remember Blundell saying that they were going to continue to add more of the specialist weapons in the Zombie maps, considering the community wants them (we got the Annihilator, Bows, and I guess the Skull of Nan Sawpe counts as the Purifier?)
I wouldn't count the Skull as the purifier. It seems like they're directly porting the weapons into Zombies and modifying the models (except the Annihilator). The Skull seems way too different to count it.
So now we have
Annihilator
Sparrow
Grav Spikes
HIVE
Ripper
Took me a second to register that the KT-4 is the HIVE. Haven't used it since I beat the Easter Egg pre-patched KT-4.
The Ray Gun Mark III might be it. Could be dual wielded.
Red Eyes could be Mob of the Dead related as well. Might finally reveal what Richtofen wants to do with the Blood Vials the crew is carrying after ZNS.
My god I forgot those zombies had red eyes too. This map has to reveal what the vials are for right? As well as those random vials that Richtofen has from the MOTD crew.
Yeah, but that's gotta somehow collide with the objective of taking out Nikolai 1.0 and nabbing his soul. Exciting stuff.
Wonder if Gersch from Ascension will make an appearance?
Most definitely. There were hidden ciphers in Zetsubou No Shima hinting at Gersch and the Ascension crew returning.
There was also a hidden message on scraps of paper scattered across the map hinting the blood vials coming in play soon
Some people have mentioned that this may take place in a similar "purgatory realm" like Mob of the dead did.
Maybe somehow Nikolai's body is in it? Would explain the dragons.
Also I'm unsure why I bother making zombie dlc threads in the gaming section. It always devovles to the same bullshit.
Ah crap! I forgot about that one about the Ascension group. So glad he's coming back. If fucking Groph from the Moon radios came, so should be, since he was the first real Easter egg (not counting Der Reise).
Yeah, I feel like a lot of communities on GAF here have to battle gaming side a lot.
I didn't even see it.
You can lead a horse to water, but some folks just choose to remain ignorant. I wouldn't be surprised if many of these people with their same complaints are the same ones that showed up for the last zombies reveal threads spouting the same nonsense.
That could be a possibility. I'm still thinking Nikolai will be an antagonist or a boss in this level. No way he'd go down without a major fight or be a captive like Takeo/Dempsey.
It was a nice thread but just sucks that it always goes to the easter egg stuff that pisses people off. I can understand it but its not required at all to play.
It also doesn't help that it justified people with how Shadows of Evil was received.
You also gotta remember, even in WAW/BO, Nikolai is a Family Man™. Multiple wives/ex-wives notwithstanding, dude will most likely go out fighting.
I'm not sure if he's the one in the MPD, though. It's likely whatever evil controlled them in Mob, either that or an Apothicon.
This was so much simpler when it was just a little girl emasculating 4 grown-ass men in their late 40s.

Aww really? That sucks! Although did the last one have any music? Swore it had ambience.
Shadow of Evils theme remains best then. I love the jazz music that plays.
But let's be honest... The theme sucks cause of Dragons. You know? After Aliens, Alternate/Mini Dimensions, Multiple Timelines, Giant Robots, Demons, and all of that. Dragon's are just TOOO far out there.

This looks bad ass. I just wish I knew how to play zombies. Everytime I get the urge to learn the mechanics and such, its usually too late.
I thought the story still revolved around that?
