Most COD games for PC have a common downside to the weapons that makes them all on an equal level. You have to remember that when using a Mouse and Keyboard you can control the behavior of guns in a different way to a controller. This is the first COD game that I've played on PC that hasn't got anything to keep the weapons on an even playing field. The low TTK guns outshine the rest of the gun balance and then the one-two shot kill machines are incredibly easy to use an aim with. Much easier to do so with a mouse than with a controller. So no, not like most COD games.



Except for the fact that most players on PC have an easier time using it because of the amount of precision a mouse grants them. One shot kill CQC guns are a terrible idea for any game and if I were to follow your logic and apply it to PC the pump in between shots should be 3x slower.



The first shotgun is a one hit kill at CQC, I'm not sure if you can put a longer barrel on it but if you can then there you go. There's another one you unlock after it which can fire shots off incredibly fast and mostly kills in 1-2 hits. Both of these guns have no real downside.

Pump shotguns will become useless if they are not one shot in a low TTK game like COD. Take CS for example it has a higher TTK than COF but shotguns are one shot kill at CQC range there too.

I finished the campaign last night, finally, after the three or four false finishes the game presents you with.

I really don't know what they were thinking with the campaign - I've played most CODs since MW2 (I missed Blops 1 and Ghosts) and this was easily the worst. I never thought a video game could give the impression that it loves the smell of its own hypothetical farts before, but here we are.

Just to stick it's middle finger up at me one last time, the game didn't pop the trophy for completing on Hardened either. I look at my level list and it doesn't believe I finished mission 2, which I absolutely did (and got the trophy for). Ugh. Fuck this game. Not sure why more of a stink isn't being kicked up about the online connection bullshit for the SP campaign either.

Can't wait to get into multiplayer with all of the server and lag issues that have been complained about in the past 48 hours.

From now on all RPG's need a stupid clearly American guitar riff when you level. I demand this of all games now. I am going to finish my Jack and Coke and make another batch of Freedom fries!

Multiplayer, zombies and Dead Ops are sooooo good.

The giant brings back memories :)

Havent touched single player (not what CoD is about imo) so havent experienced any of the problems people are having.

FYI an open nat will improve things for people no end

A complete blast. I might suck at FPS games but I still love to play.

Honestly I don't get the snobby hate for this game... its a COD game, not a work of art.

im having a lot of fun..still laugh at the riff though, i like how they seem to have embraced the feel of it. It's full rambo now.

I've died a lot triying to land some jumps too, it's really cool to kill while wall jumping and stuff.

I never realized how many kills I used to get from knifing. As someone who always trys to play mid range, this whole knifing not being one hit kills really hurts my pushes.

After many hours on multiplayer, I can say that this is still CoD for rat kids, and made me realiza, again, how good CoD4 was.

This is so fast paced that is not even funny. Floor slide, unlimited sprint... enemies are everywhere everytime. You still can be shot from 1000 places, and if you have hight ping, you'll likely lose all 1vs1 trades.

And it still have the air jumping shitfest AW had, not at the same level, but it's still there.

We have the specialists also, with their unbalanced abilities that violates the gameplay and elevates frustration sometimes to scary levels.


Futuristic CoDs are shit.

Same, keep forgetting it and the other players seem to be used to it by now. They just keep on shooting, died so many times because of it.

Finished the SP yesterday. That was just awful. What a waste of time. Don't know where to begin. Story sucked, missions were boring and repetitive, characters were annoying etc. I did't expect Last of Us kinda good, but still. This was just horrible.

I haven't seen any shotgun sliding yet,but I've been looking forward to it ever since I saw this game had a slide.

Destiny has trained me for this.

It's only 2 hit kill from the front and if they are at full health.

Even just a single hit from any weapon will put their health down enough for a 1 hit knife from the front.

So I opened one of the 30 chests and got a rare. Figured that's the better value well I was just about to get off and I had 15 so I figured I'll buy one of the tens and maybe get some little common stuff..well

I can't fathom how people go 3-22 and 1-16 in TDM. Thanks for the loss, fellas.

This is my first time playing Call of Duty MP since Warfare. I am regularly getting something like a 0.5 K/D ratio right now.

Now, I'm not terrible at FPS either as I regularly scored highly in Titanfall and Battlefield, but the time-to-kill philosophy in Call of Duty differs vastly. In the former two games, I found that you could sometimes survive if you get caught off guard by smartly maneuvering around the environment, but in Call of Duty, the first shot seems to essentially determine the victor the majority of the time. Trying to boost or thrust jump your way out is almost fruitless in this game.

Despite this being my first foray into the MP in a very long time, I'm still having tons of fun. However, I am definitely feeling a bit remorseful that I'm not helping out as much as I can in team-based game types.

Playing the campaign co-op. It's god damn awful. Possibly the worst one I've ever played. The performance on Xbox one is also terrible. I hope there's a patch on it's way. It rarely sits at 60fps

Finally tore myself away from the still fantastic zombie mode, to dabble a bit in the campaign... It doesn't get much better does it? Not bad, just a little, eh? I only play the Treyarch entries, so to compare it to the others almost seems unfair.

Three years gave us this? Zombie mode at least is incredible - didn't think I'd warm up to the new map the way I have! Might push through the campaign, but I think zombies alone is making the game worth it for myself. Shame to see the connection problems everyone else is having, haven't had too hard of a time finding matches and having some fun

Yup. Gosh, I wonder how the enemy team just got that Wraith.
Click to expand...

Must've been an invisible wraith that could attack through buildings while the opposing team mostly went negative and had maybe 1 or 2 scorestreaks. 5v5 Evac TDM. My 3 man party got 68/75 kills and lost by 3. Thank for your comment.

I think the biggest problem people have is not adapting and continuing to play the same way that gets them killed over and over. I'd think that if you died 5 times in a row, you'd change your playstyle a bit (talking in 2nd person, not directly to you). But you're right, whoever gets caught first usually dies first.

I'm just mad that I lost a close game while doing well. Don't let guys like me discourage you, heh. Sometimes we just need to vent our frustrations and cod is great for generating anger.

IIRC, a user said they're separate saves meaning Online and local each have their own progress. I may have remembered wrong though.

That's some luck. I'm wondering if 3 common boxes are more worthwhile than a single rare box.

Lol, online is still a joke. Spent more time today looking for games and migrating hosts than actually playing.

What the fuck did they have a beta for if this is going to be how the game launches?
