    There were a half dozen times when I tried to wall run but my guys feet just wouldn't attach to the wall so I fell and died. The actual running itself was alright, but the hit detection on it seemed wonky.

    (Who would've guessed. People complaining about hit detection in a CoD thread)

    Anyone else on PC unable to connect? I was able to play just fine last night, but now I just keep getting an error. A buddy can play just fine, so I'm not sure if it's a problem on my end, my region, or what.

    Just played a couple of rounds, seemed okay.

    Well, the connection I mean. The game itself... eh? *makes the shaky hand motion* Never have been a huge fan of COD shooting, the guns always feel weird and never fun to use, coupled with environments that are too visually busy and enemies that look the same as team-mates and just blend into the backgrounds so you feel like you're getting killed out of nowhere. (My first experience of the new game involved taking two steps and then exploding from something falling from the sky.)

    AW at least had the heavy laser cannon, which was always my jam... but never actually enough to make me want to put money down on the game, just to occasionally re-install it and play during free weekends.

    Slam your side into the wall. Side slamming into it has (yet) to fail to latch onto the wall and keep my momentum going.

    I was able to connect no problem but...there's a hitching that I'm not sure if it's netcode or my card.

    I figured "Hey. It's a beta. Maybe I should make a post about my issue on the official forum." It was foolish of me to think that because the official forums are awful. However, not in the way you're probably thinking. As far as I can tell, I can't post anything. It's just a garbage design/layout.

    I kept forgeting every now and then to push forward the entire time. Didn't help that sometimes I'd jump from wall run to wall run and forget to change stick direction.

    Or that I kept trying to show off.

    Or that I thought I could pull off moves that I can't (jumping back into a wall and pushing off forward was one)

    Well, COD runs fine on my PC but maaaan, I suck using mouse and keyboard on a multiplayer setting. I can get 1-2 KDR and feel happy about myself but I'm averaging like 0.1 or 0.2 on PC.

    I'm always wildly inconsistent in CoD games until I find a weapon that just works for me. In AW, it was the ASM-1. I haven't found that weapon in this one yet. I'll top the scoreboard one game, and be near the bottom, the next.

    That's also because the average player on PC is capable of a better overall performance.

    Also no auto-aim.

    I dunno, I was able to get a 5KDR going on AW with a controller. But then again it was AW. EDIT: on PC. Controller on PC. :P

    Pretty sure there's aim assist on PC when you use a controller. I heard it was pretty strong too.

    There was in titanfall, but I've never heard of any for CoD. But I've also never played CoD on a pc.

    Seems like Blops 3 PC has some kind of aim assist. Switched to an old 360 pad and my KDR hit 1 :P. I still suck but at least I can kill again. EDIT: I got a couple of codes if someone else wants to join in the PC Beta. Just PM me.

    It turns out all I had to do to fix my inability to connect was download the ethernet controller driver for my mobo.

    Even though my connection is wireless.

    God...I thought the BMR was cool, but I'm loving the Dingo as well. Just a pure bullet hose. And for a rapid fire LMG it doesn't have much recoil.
    Seriously. What do the last two LMGs do. Like I'm fulling expecting a suped up version of the Ghost Chainsaw at this point. Just strut around and cutting geese down like blades of grass.

    The default kit with the Dingo is actually really nice, and glad Scavenger affects grenades again.

    Also, try throwing a tripmine into the smoke cloud made by someone using Rejack.

    Beta should be open on the XB1 as well. Gave Nomad a try a little earlier with the HIVE launcher for the hell of it too, and it's quickly becoming a favorite. Proximity mine launcher? Yes, please.

    I had the same problem and yeah, that fix is nuts. As I was doing it, I was thinking "No way this actually works."

    Safeguard's a lot of fun. The other objective modes never really grabbed me (aside from a bunch of S&D back in CoD4), but this one does it for me.

    It seems pretty good so far, I haven't really noticed any lag kills yet. Any time I die, there's a pretty consistent amount of damage indication before I die. Haven't died behind a wall, either.

    The matches can get lopsided pretty quick with hell storm after hell storm.

    I have enjoyed returning to my old PA Blops hobby of being the dedicated UAV killer!

    The pump shotgun is actually really good. On PC, with the quicker aim, at least.

    Well, I played like 2 games on xbox and enjoyed it. Would like to play more, but after the 5th time of it freezing while connecting me to a game, I think I'm giving up.

    I'm pretty surprised at how crazy fast I've found games so far. I had a couple searches where I didn't even see the searching screen.

    Also, small sample but I haven't seen any blatantly terrible spawns

  • Options
    BionicPenguinBionicPenguin Registered User regular
    I have in both ways. I've spawned almost staring at an enemy's back and I've also spawned only to be shot a second later by someone who ran around a corner.

    The desert one? C spawn in dom is trash when it comes to spawns. You can get so far in there and trap people super hard without it flipping, it's pretty bad.

    I also have a question for anyone who played on xbox or ps4, did the blackhat have any sticky aim for you? because using a controller on PC (basically just to see how it did) I had sticky aim on people with guns but not on streaks with the blackhat.

    My friend is working on a roguelike game you can play if you want to. (It has free demo)

    Well...I found my true love.
    Sheeva with Red dot, grip, and high caliber animation.
    Had a round where I went 41 / 9. Just dropping UAV, Care Packages, and Hellfire for days while boring holes through skulls. This is the first marksmen rifle in a while for COD that just feels super good.

    It recenters faster making it easier to beat long range engagements if the first shot isn't a headshot.

    I'll probably swap though grip for Stock down the road. Or use Primary Gunfire to add Rapid fire on top of the grip for hose down moments.

    Can groups be formed in the beta? If yes, I expect to see a PA'er or 2 on tonight. :D

    So this is probably the most fun I've had with a Cod in years. Not sure if I'm going to buy it yet but we'll see.

    Blops3 is basically the Titanfall mod I expected it to be.

    Also I've killed myself so many times.

    The Ripper's pretty fun to mess around with too. Can't say the same for active camo since the duration's really short, but hey. EDIT: Breaking tags, woo.
