    Why don't they do the 2XP weekends, I don't know, the week AFTER new DLC drops?

    Because people who haven't played in a month but who already bought the season's pass are going to play the shit out of the DLC for two weeks before getting bored again. They're probably trying to boost interest to get other people to come back to the game and buy the DLC.

    Yeesh, Nightfall doesn't screw around. Still haven't made it past the second set of hives.

    Gun Game and FFA Hunted are new playlists up for the game which is pretty cool.

    I got through the first 10 guns in my first game of Gun Game and the order of the guns is fucking weird, but it's still fun.

    I think the only thing that would be moderately interesting for COD would be a 10th anniversary edition of COD4/MW2 (with OMA/Blast shield fixed)

    I'd be pretty hype over an international release of CODOL, though!

    Just picked up Scooby Duty for PS4, hit me up if you're still playing and could use another non-random shooting in the same direction. PSN ID: ZokuGojira

    HURR HURR I FIGURED OUT YOLO WAS S&D

    No shit, it says in the description of the mode what it is and if you rubbed those four brain cells together you might note that the name goes with the theme of each mode and you could work it out through that.

    Yeah, I just took the first video that came with the tip. I didn't actually watch it beyond scrubbing to the gametypes.

    As it turns out, killing anyone who is using the Predator drop on Ruins does in fact result in the map getting nuked. Makes for an interesting way to lose a round.

    Anyone playing this on the PC still and running and Nvidia card should dl the new 337.50 drivers; fixes virtually everything wrong with this game (optimization wise anyway :P). Maxed the game out completely and getting 60+ fps.

    No one on my friends list is playing this anymore. Lots of people played the last three games for the full year. Does anyone else feel like engagement with this one dropped off faster than normal?

    I think a lot of it had to do with split communities as well. 360/PS3/XB1/PS4 means the playerbase is fractured among the various consoles, which is worse for overall play. This should stabilize with the next CoD, if it isn't awful.

    I really did not like this CoD. Ghosts and MW3 have been the only ones that disappointed me, but even MW3 I got a fair amount of time out of.

    Most of the people in the Oldguyz group are still playing on PS3. They just quit playing Ghosts after about 3 months. I rented it for one day and thought the maps were even worse than BlOps2 and the audio the absolute worst in the series.

    I think around half of that is just from the test range.

    I've been happy with the game from Extinction alone, it's really fun and each new map adds some cool twists to the strategy needed.

    Agreed with the comment on the console fracture. I picked it up for the xbone and played it until titanfall came out. Wasn't the best COD, but wasn't the worst either.

    Yeah, I wish it was possible to pick up just Extinction for $20. I do like Ghosts and have played enough to push over to 8th prestige, but none of my friends bought it. I know they'd play Extinction with me, but not for the full game price and the required DLC.

    I feel like it's more a mixture of a few things, but the biggest probably was splitting off into things like PS4/XB1/360/PS3 groups. It's gotten better over time with the new maps being pretty good and changing things like finally giving you streak points for objectives, but early on it definitely soured some people (myself included). That said, I still probably play more Extinction than regular MP.

    I would love to have a real loadout system for Extinction.

    You're sending me into a known hostile area full of alien bugs with only a fucking PISTOL?!?!

    Something kinda like the point-buy/10 system they have for multi with the perks changed. And maybe having specific weapons available at loadout while still being able to find better/other weapons in the field.

    Weapon Specialist should be able to choose an AR or SMG of his choice
    Medic should get an LMG of their choice
    Engineer should get a shotgun and Lethal of their choice
    Tank should be able to get Tac-Knife and Extended Mag for their pistol of choice + One fully decked out vest of armor or a non-breakable Riot Shield (minus the rear armor bonus the gadget gets)

    I've heard good things about Extinction. I really liked the horde mode in MW3, whatever it was called. I wish Zombies wasn't terrible. I really liked it in WaW, but they kept making the maps bigger and bigger without putting more weapons on the walls, plus the weapons they did put on the wall stunk, so the whole thing just became about lining up behind the mystery box hoping to get the ray gun.

    Later levels in the game really just feel like luck, hoping to get a good gun from the Box or a Max Ammo drop. Most of my high level games of Zombies end due to people running out of ammo and cash.

    Not a fun way to end things.

    I think running out of ammo is, like, a thing in every Zombie movie/tv show/game/book ever.

    Running out of ammo because a single zombie takes a whole magazine to kill is pretty lame, though.

    In zombies I always felt that guns like the Python, shotguns, and the marksmen/snipers should be 1 shot to the head....period.
    That and RPGs should have a 5 foot kill radius with a 15 foot maim radius.

    Reward people who play accurate (headshots become the only way to kill) and the power weapons. I hope if Zombies evolves further they should be a running version of Extinction. Different events that you have to complete to finish the map. No waves or hive spawns. Just slow spawns, but as you get deeper in it starts to look horde-ish, and the GET TO DA CHOPPAH! or 115 teleportation it should be like those streets in dead rising where it looks like a carpet of black goose stepping mold coming at you.

    I prefer Extinction because it's a little more clear on what you're suppose to do instead of just throwing you into a map with a vague objective.

    And I'm not worried about "do I press on to a new area or blow my money on ammo and stuff instead?"
