Another plus for
That's pretty much zombies since Black Ops II.
In Black Ops, there were still easter eggs, but they weren't a necessity to play wave after wave and explore the map. You could always play zombies and chill. Once Black Ops II hit and the campaign guys started with Mob of the Dead, it became more essential to do some of the steps to get better weapons and such to progress.

Yep. It's borked. I got the game "late" (by this, I mean a day or two from launch), and I was matched up with level 20+ straight away. And then, when I got to level 15-18, I was matched with level 30+ and 40+! WTF, Treyarch? I got owned hard by people running with Sheiva, Razorback and whatever overpowered shit they had.
Also, check this amazing job of matchmaking:
EDIT: Forgot to add, this was originally 9x6! And yeah, check their levels against ours. Ass matchmaking is ass.
Damn shit is NOT fun.
I did very well with the beta, but now? Can barely contribute to my team. It doesn't help that the stuff I want to use are all gated waaaaay late (Sheiva, M8A7, etc.). What the hell, Treyarch? You knew those weapons/equipment were strong as fuck and you tuck them all the way to the back so early players can murder everyone?
There's just so much shit going on with supers,scorestreaks, wall running, etc. that I have no clue what's happening. Explosions everywhere, UAVs all the goddamn time, noob tubes, one-hit kill pistols...it's just too much for me, I think.
Also, I hate that characters blend in too much to the environment. I can't even see if there's an enemy or just random environmental crap until it's too late. Granted I'm super colorblind, but even so, I don't remember having this problem with past CoDs before.
I might just slog through this and drop it once Battlefront releases. At least if I get killed by vehicles, Heroes or lasers, I can still help by taking down Walkers and shit,

what are they using for matchmaking? is it just best available connection now? i do remember a lot of people complaining about the skill based matchmaking that AW would do...

Why dont you guys just use the game dvr on the console. I usually save it first to the ps4 then check theater for it later.
I just started using the sheiva and wow best assault rifle so far and I haven't used high caliber yet. The down side is I feel like I need a secondary weapon when using the sheiva.
The ones in Black Ops 2 and there's one in Shadows of Evil.
I got an "epic" Ice Shotgun camo from a cryptokey chest so I decided to try that shotty out.
It was pretty fun!
Here's the full gameplay

I'm the only one who dosn't found Gorgon OP?
ADS draw is slow and hip fire is a joke.
Looks more of a situational weapon or to be used as a semi sniper weapon on long clear lanes.
Maybe with a higher knowledge of maps it becomes better but right now I do much better with other weapons.

Wasn't there just one in Mob of the Dead?

All of this.
Seriously - getting my ass kicked again and again by a majority of players 30-40 levels higher than me is getting pretty fucking tired very quickly
Yeah, one in Mob and another in Origins. It's still something I dislike and shocked me the first time lol.
I also got a couple of rares and even have 2 epics just from the normal boxes.

Best in the game. By a country mile.
Right! I almost forgot Origins' one.
They just need to tone it down a notch. Easter Eggs are fun, but they had a nice balance in the Black Ops maps and went a bit further in BOII where it became more of a chore, I feel.
I agree a bit. I still like Black Ops 2's easter eggs but it was incredibly tedious to do everything. It was in the first but the second was unbearable at times, especially getting those good rewards.

I'm comically bad at this game. Currently rocking a 0.34 k/d. I'm to the point I don't even care anymore. I turn a corner, dead. I go through a door, dead. I jump, dead. I move, dead. lol, I haven't really even bothered to play unless my friends are on because its so deflating. Never been this bad at a CoD game before so I'm at a loss.

Whew.....glad I skipped this COD release. I'll end up getting it when I find it at a flea market.

I have had some questionable connections occasionally but for me matchmaking is much better. Lag is hit or miss I do notice people with 3 bars seem to melt me and eat bullets. But over all this is the best cod in years it feels a lot like black ops 2 and I'm loving it.
Supposedly The Giant has an easter egg as well, beyond The Fly Trap. It's supposed to be as small as Call of the Dead. I don't think it's been found yet, though. Everyone's trying to hunt through Shadows.
Started realistic difficulty about a half hour ago. It's fucking ruthless. I'm sure some welcome the challenge, but in a game like CoD where the bullets are invisible and the pace is the speed of light, that kind of difficulty really doesn't lend itself to well to a game like this.
Still, I'm willing to beat it since it's kind of a tradition for me to beat every new CoD on it's hardest difficulty. Anyone wanna co-op it on PS4? Is it any easier in co-op?

Yes by at least 50%.
Ill be honest with you, as someone who hated Ghosts, and did not like AW; this game is very much back to basics, with some jet pack wall running nonsense.

Can you revive each other in co-op? How does it work?

Edit: To the guy talking about AW, most people don't play like that in AW, but you can still jump around and slide around a lot especially with Afterburner perk. Most people have crappy vertical aim so that's easy kills if you can manage it. I like to slide to a jump around corners and wall run where people don't expect it. I probably bring back bad memories of AW to my opponents ;P.
I'm now 3.64kd and 380spm in TDM so it's definitely working for me.

Yeah me too. It was hard though. I almost caved like 4 times.
I did that last year with AW and it was the purchase I regretted most the entire year.

So I just realized if you press Square on a specialist when selecting you get a Bio, description of the weapon and skill but also, if you use them enough, voice recordings from them talking about their past.
Pretty cool.
Also, there's a Classified armour type you can unlock that's supposed to be Gold but no one seems to know how to unlock it.

Yep. Happened to me just now. Entire team of 40s and 50s, while I had a level 13, a level 16 in mine. We got steamrolled. Fucking shit is not fun. I don't care if they're in a squad. Fucking throw them with other high level players.
I'm just at level 28 after playing yesterday. Can't even grind properly. Yeesh. If I had a better alternative as an MP shooter now (please don't say Destiny), I'd drop this. It's like Treyarch got into a drinking game and decided that they want to overclock CoD gameplay to 11 by adding every available "gimmick" out. Wall running a la Titanfall? Check! Supers like Destiny? Check!
Yep, if you're on the fence, I'd wait it out. It won't make you a Call of Duty convert -- not by any shot. If you're infuriated by those things before, factor in one-hit kill supers, wall hacks (Vision super) and other shit that will literally mean you can't get a breather in a match.
Even when I do OK, I get pissed since some of the time, the lag is so horrendous that you actually "feel" that your bullets aren't registering.
OK, but what? How is this "back to basics?" You have friggin' supers that bring a whole new level of chaos to the mix! Add in the weird maps (you can't even tell whether you can go to one place or not), and this is anything but back to basics. I so miss the good ol' MW days.
Yep. Same. I do well in some games, but even then, the annoyance of doing well since I'm exploiting shit (supers and Gorgon and fucking camping) sullies the experience.
And I can't remember the maps for some goddamn reason. I can't remember the layout and always get buttfucked.

My guess is that you get it by unlocking all clothing for every Specialist. Sort of like how if you want diamond on a set of weapons you need gold on all of them. That's my guess.
I finished Seraph and I'm just about done with Battery. Really excited to play with Firebreak some more.
Perfection.
And then you watch the kill cam because you are like "how could he have possibly survived that" and you see that your character on his screen wasn't even shooting...Yeah it fucking blows.

I've been a huge fan of all the zombie maps Treyarch have ever made, but this one is just too much. I don't like the bees, or the ritual stuff, or that it has an unlock system. The noir vibe is kind of dumb too.
Im on the same boat, some people are just too damn good and know very well the maps now that I die at every corner, sometimes I respawn and some missiles are raining right there and die again.
Still fun tho and I dont care for k/d ratios, always negative myself, a normal match for me is something like 15/21
Sorry if answered many times already but not really been reading all of thread, just this page.
If they are insistent on making it connection speed prioritised matchmaking over skill level, how do they expect to attract new players after month 1?
The hardcore are going to be so many levels and weaponed up beyond belief that going into any match will just be an exercise in frustration of getting slaughtered. As expressed above, I'm finding it ridiculous in week 1 facing the bulk of a team 30-40 levels above me. And I'm not a bad player per se.

I've been playing a good bit since Saturday, and I've been enjoying multiplayer a lot. And I'm not much of a CoD person, bit do get a FPS multi craving every so often. Last time played Ghosts.
One multiplayer mode I miss is the Infected mode. Anything similar to that in this? I know there is the 4 player co-op Zombie thing, but one where you have full amount of players fighting each other in humans vs Infected. Etc
