    Apparently Thunderstorm + Wireless internet provider = 2-bar slideshow of CoD:MW3

    Still, it was fun to play. Good games guys.

    I think I might make it to 80 before I get all these headshots with the M4... headshots are hard to do!

    We were playing Team Defender on Underground. I got the drop on a guy in one of the terminal side stairs with my rapid fire PP90.
    He turns and shoots me in the groin with a T95 burst. I get insta-killed by a headshot...

    o.O

    Moral of the story? Aim for their crotch for headshots?

    Perhaps the game was compensating for a laggy drop shot. I mean, who doesn't drop shot?
    I don't drop shot
    because I'm not a tryhard
    and I can't pull it off consistently

    Type 95 just auto aims for the head always. Its a baby's toy! I have a class setup with a T-95 that I'll switch to if I am having a particularly awful time. its called "Ultra Pussy".

    Also, I don't understand drop shotting. What's it supposed to accomplish? Cause right now, all it does is let me kill you while you're already laying down.

    You get a smaller hitbox for no obvious drawback. Honestly they should give it some negative like a longer stand-up time, damage from the fall, or reduced accuracy after hitting the ground. As it is now, it's way too good.

    yes, but it makes for a smaller target, usually partly obscured by garbage on the ground

    Dropshotting is fine you're just as likely to get killed doing it as you are for it to work.

    Not really.

    It doesn't just make your hit box smaller, it also lowers you out of the range of enemy fire, while still allowing you to be directly on target.

    It offers a significant advantage, and is pretty much the only way I can win a heads up gun fight because of lolwirelessinternet

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    Are you still able to fire your gun while you're in the process of going to the ground? I dunno, the number of times I've been killed by somebody dropshotting is far far less than the number of times I've killed the guy who was attempting to dropshot.

    Now, akimbo Jon Woo gun jumps... I hate those. I'd say I'm 60/40 on those.

    60% of the time I die to a jumping guy.
    40% of the time I get the kill and the guy flops to the ground hilariously.

    Yup. And since I'm running tacticool layout, I find myself doing it by accident more often than not. I lose every doorway knife fight though, so there's that trade off.

    Old, and the file's gotten damaged so I can't remake it.
    And yes, the throw was deliberately aimed at that target. Yes, that far away.

    I only did the masterkey shotgun challenge once and it was the worst bar filling experience ever.

    I raise you the Riot Shield Bulletproof challenges. All of them.

    Also, the Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em challenges suck, but I am probably doing it very wrong.

    So, finished my ACR master key bar filling (HC Dom is nicer than TDM, no respawn timer). Now that all the bars are filled, I need to figure out how to trick it out while I go for the gold.

    Also, for a PP90m (w/ silencer) specialist build, what should I be rolling with? Initial loadout is Scav, Hardline pro, Steady Aim, with SlightPro-AssPro-SitRep as streak. I should probably swap out SitRep for Blind.

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    I would go:

    SoH, Ass, Steady Aim

    Streaks I would go:

    Scav -> Blind eye -> Hardline(to finish out spec bonus faster)

  • BurtletoyBurtletoy Registered User regular
    Do people actually use Blind Eye?

    Huh.

  • mFiendmFiend l33t quarkscooper America's HatRegistered User regular
    Play exclusively with pubbies and you'll start loving Blind Eye. One player with a Stinger can not keep the skies clear in an average domination match.

    I run Blind Eye on almost all my classes because fuck your killstreaks.

    PS4: mFiend
  • NocrenNocren Lt Futz, Back in Action North CarolinaRegistered User regular
    That might work...

    With that gun you really need both Slight and Scav.

    Do you get points towards your perk goals/bars for specialist rewards?

    All M4 attachment challenges done. Thermal scope wasnt that bad! I almost won a few ffa matches with it.

    thermal scope is actually fun to use if you pair it with quickdraw and the stability proficiency. I dont know why, but drop zone is a great gametype to use it in. maybe because there are far fewer assassin players in drop zone?

    That is the opposite of logic.

    Why would you use anything other than hardline in regular modes? Because you wanna be a lame ass assin.

    Hardline doesnt work in drop zone, so literally the only alternative is assassin. What else would people use?

  • EdgieEdgie TampaRegistered User regular
    Why would you use assassin when you should be standing in the smoke? Which means everyone should know where you are. Also, there's a distinct lack of UAV because of the nature of drop zone.

    This means the only option left is blast shield. Not a good choice, but better than assassin.

  • belligerentbelligerent Registered User regular
    lol. How about quickdraw>c4/trophy system?

    Blast Shield

    You'll Pro that perk so fast in Drop Zone, and it does help a bit when holding the point.

    You have to buy the full version for bot training. I dig it, just need to log more than one match and get control settings to something I can use. Of course, I'm trying to do another ME2 run so I'll have 2 characters with radically different stories to use in 3. That's definitely going to eat into my time.

    clearly not everyone is amazing at the game like you are, brutle. :rotate:

    im gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you dont play much drop zone. i do (or at least did when i played this game consistently), and in drop zone if you arent running blast shield you are doing it wrong, though I can see the validity of quickdraw if you arent constantly on the objective (or using the thermal scope, lol).

    But, blast shield doesn't protect you from anything....

    and quickdraw doesn't make you win gun fights....

    So;

    assassin.
