yep i've pretty much got garbage with the 10 cryptos. i hate rng lol

i think anything "common" is pretty much worthless. its the rare/legendary stuff that is cool (more skins for your specialists, gun attachments etc.)

Agreed, the rare camps are generally better looking and worth it.

Nah not a fan of the clusterfuck that is NukeTown.

It was fun in BO1 but the pace of the game has gotten too fast for me to enjoy it

i seem to get a lot more pts playing kill confirmed. although ymmv as sometimes people are dumb and play for kills instead of collecting tags so the games take forever to finish

I'm getting a Rare or Legendary through the 10-key packs every other box or so, so I see no reason to go for the 30 keys box for now.

Hell, using the common box will probably even increase the probability of getting rares, since it will knock out all the commons out of the way. Do we know if there's any chance of getting a repeat? There's so much stuff to unlock that I doubt it, but you never know.

I have gotten a repeat normal item. They don't refund anything or even notify it's a dupe, but I have got one.

that's rng for you. i've gotten ONE rare item. and i'm level 35 right now so...i feel like i've opened quite a few 10 level drops :(

what is crytokey xp based on anyways? does it have anything to do with challenges or just how much you play the game?

Just played an amazing match and wanted to see it again. Check theater mode and is not there. great.
I played over 10 matches this evening, but theater mode only saved 3 of those matches.

Theater mode is still really inconsistent like it was in previous cods. Sigh.

I have got 2 legendaries, 2 rares out of the 5 normal boxes I have opened so far. What's the point of the 30 key boxes?
Click to expand...

I think I've got 2 or 3 rares, and an epic? Legendary? Whatever the gold one is. Posted an image earlier when I got it in a 10 chest that had a rare ad well.

Loving the MP on this, shame playing in parties was so hot and miss over the weekend, think I spent more time in and out of lobbies than actually playing but when it works it's just as good if not a bit better than BO2.

I got a quad feed on launch night with a lucky grenade, went into theatre mode and no way to export clip that I could see.

Was wounded.

couldn't find the right post for some reason.

what's considered an epic? i think rare is blue, purple is legendary. is epic above legendary? what kind of item was it? O_O

I've noticed this too. Does it maybe have to do with jumping into games mid-match? I haven't kept track tbh.

Yea, I'm sticking to common drops.

I was surprised when I got a rare calling card that's apparently part of a set. It was like 3/6. You get a bonus calling card once you complete the set.

Also, it blew my mind when I got a common card and I look at the black market section and notice it opened up a category of common cards where there are 41 to collect. 41 cards JUST in that section. Sooooo much shit to collect.

Really love those animated cards but you need to put in some work for those.

Wish there was a way to see what you've got from these things after you've opened them.

The lag has not been an issue for me. Whats hurting me is the amount of hitmarkers I seem to be getting. I am getting 6 hit markers then somehow I end up dying first.

Another issue is that I am struggling to aim. I am just flat out miss people that I should be hitting which is on me. Other times it's seemd I should be hitting guys but because I am not dead center I miss.

So am I, I just assume they are hitting me in the face though, I usually just aim for the chest

Saw this post on reddit regarding cryptokeys and repeats:

They have been confirmed to work by in game time, and wins. Winning a match gives you a 20% bonus towards your next cryptokey. You need 10 cryptokeys to unlock a normal supply drop, and 30 to unlock the other. They are fairly slow to obtain, and there's no real money purchase ability (yet at least). Right now you can get duplicate items (rarely, though maybe more often as you unlock more things), though they said they are working on a system to allow you to trade the common drop duplicates for a small amount of cryptokeys (probably 1 or 2 tops) and for the higher end supply drops, a re-roll chance. Meaning if you get a duplicate in that one, you can re-roll the drop for a chance at something else. That's not implemented yet, but they have said it will be soon.

And yes, it's just cosmetic items. Attachments are included sometimes, but they are cosmetic only, the actual traits are the same as the base attachments. So you may get for example a scope or silencer or something, but the only difference is cosmetic. The stat will be the same as the regular attachment for that weapon. And again, they are painfully slow to get if you play an hour or two a day and lose a lot, and come pretty quick if you dump several hours a day in and win fairly regularly.

This is happening to me too. The hit detection is VERY suspect on my end. I have been shooting dudes dead in the chest at close range with a pistol. Sometimes only about 1/3 of my shots actually count as hits, and at other times they all register as hits but seemingly do less damage than they are supposed to. This wasn't a problem for me in the beta at all. Sad to see the typical CoD lag from all games post MW2 is present once again.

I heard it based only on playtime and nothing else

Click to expand...

A bit faster. Slower than AW.

Killtimes are similarish, though the netcode feels worse than Ghosts so you get questionable fights where you get a bunch of hitmarkers and die (which I guess makes it exactly on par with BO2).

Like the difference between Street fighter 4 and street fighter 4 Turbo.

JK.

Its faster. I can't wait till we drop this jet pack nonsense, and get back to more realism.
Click to expand...

Yeah, Activision can have all my money if they just return to the present.. get rid of all of this super soldier nonsense.

Please tell me the gameplay has slowed down from AW's pace. That shit was ridiculous

EDIT: Answered above. Thanks guys

Absolutely pissed on how complex they went on this. Shit is absolutely stupid. Hated Origins and I hate Shadows of Evil as well..

I'm hoping the season pass maps aren't like that.

Oh man is it really that crazy again?

That's why my go-to map is The Giant right now.

What the dick is up with the team balancing? Just did a game of domination where there was four people in my team and nine(?) people in the other. How is that even possible?

Also, sometimes a game is about to start, and somehow a 13th player enters the lobby. The game stops the countdown and freezes as it tries to "balance" the team, and then continues when the 13th person leaves or is automatically kicked out.

What even?

Yup, it's just camos, skins, hates, whatever.


This game is so god damn fun. I had a blast playing all weekend and I wasn't even with friends. Just by myself. I've been obliterating people with the Outrider's bow. I'm trying to unlock all of her challenge based gears before I switch to other classes. That bow is straight nasty though. Don't much care for the Vision Pulse but I need to get kills with it.

I think I'm going to try Seraph next.

I dont even know how to play zombies? Tried to play the mp twice and joined with players who were lvl 10or higher and they just stayed running around in that first alley the whole time. Can't really do much solo either but at least I know you move forward, :lol

Doesn't help that it seems to take a long time to load or exit the mode so I gave up on it.
