    I finished the campaign and the end of this game is just the very essence of Call of Duty
    The gunfight in space was pretty fun, although the area was just so wide open I never really knew where I should be going and therefore I wasn't sure where the bad guys would be coming from.

    I don't really like when they throw me into a vehicle in CoD because there's no warmup it's just bam do shit. You'll figure out how to drive and shoot before you die too many times, probably. My biggest problem with these missions is that the objectives are everywhere and your teammates are no help in taking them out or really doing anything.

    Running along the top of the train and shooting bad guys was so awesome. The final battles in this game really show how Halo and Gears have it better with giant monsters as killing the antagonist is never very satisfying in these games.

    Especially since you get the after credit stinger and Holy Shit! he's not dead. I know there's going to be a goddamn sequel to the game why you got to go and ruin the ending that made me feel good about me and my brother surviving.

    I wish one of my teammates could have carried Riley during the mission when he was shot since none of them can kill a fucking bad guy so I have to find cover and drop Riley, then kill everybody to pick him up and run five feet to cover and repeat.

    There were a lot of cool moments in the campaign and nothing really annoying as shit as far as level design goes so there is that. I might even try playing it through again to grabe Rorke files and finish Cheevos.

    As far as the campaign goes, I think Ghosts does a good job of recapturing that "Holy shit!" feeling where everything is just crazy and awesome that I don't think has been there since the very first CoD and MW1. I mean, that mission where you're infiltrating that Federation base wherever it was... somewhere wintery and
    Shit's hit the fan, you're all bugging out in that jeep towards the extraction point. I'm expecting choppers to swoop in, but nope! Huge ol' fuck off submarine comes crashing up through the ice.


    I had just the dumbest grin on my face. So awesome.

    which app does the call of duty shit?

  • dinoarusdinoarus Registered User regular
    The app is just called 'Call of Duty', the old elite one does nothing for ghosts.

    Played some squads the other day, it's way more tolerable now that you get score popups after hitting max XP.

    Is there a cap on unlock tokens in Squads? It doesnt appear you can have more than 5.

    Clan Wars is back up. If anyone is playing tonight, I suggest looking at vulnerable areas. I noticed a couple of wins in HC KC already, so I'm going to play that for a while.

    I am incapable of running the SC 2010 without SoH. That animation just reminds me too much of the MW2 FAL which is to this day my favorite weapon in any CoD ever.

    For those not wanting to log into the app:

    TDM: leading with 50/100 wins, 2nd place has 28 wins.
    HCKC: leading with 15/40 wins, 2nd place has 9 wins.

    No one has been playing HCTDM until just now. Everyone has 0 except one clan with 4 wins. Could be an easy cap since only 40 are required.

    No one is playing S&R. 30 wins required, everyone tied with 0.

    Don't forget that wins are logged per person, so if you have 6 WZRD members on a team, you'll advance the node by 6 each time you win a game.

    The second place clan in TDM moved up into first in the last hour. They're currently at 54/100.

    Best guess is they think you're being really cheap somehow, and basically threatening to expose you. Whatever.

    We have 69 TDM wins. Next highest is 56. I can manage maybe 10 more tonight, but I'm pretty tired and can't play again until my little guy is asleep, and tomorrow is a busy day for me. I'd like to get this one since I play TDM the vast majority of the time, but I'll be happy to help go after some other nodes once this one is done.

    I'm jumping on TDM, but it's not my game. We'll see how it goes.

    Nice work to whoever was playing together and locked down HCKC, btw.

    I managed a few TDM wins and we're up to 74/100 90/100. We're really close if anyone is able to help push us through. If no one else plays tonight, I feel like we'll probably lose it during the day.

    Edit: Ketar seems to be going to town with TDM wins. I'm burning out a bit, but I'll try to keep playing as long as I can.

    Tried HCTDM after we got the TDM node. Fuck that shit. Don't think I can play again until late tomorrow, so I'll go with whatever seems doable then.

    There are like 10 people playing right now on xbox.
    Also we finished cranked. We should probably try to take over some of the points the 1st place clan has, otherwise they'll just keep racking up points.

    X-Box Ahoy is making weapon guides for Ghosts I think there are three other ones out as well as this one.

    Driftor has been covering all the ARs. The Chain SAW and MTAR-X as well, since their odd ball weapons.

    Certain perks and attachments as well. He does a excellent job covering what each weapon is made to do and what role it fills.

    Consider going after HC TDM. We have 5 wins there and first place only has 12 of the required 40. That hasn't budged since I checked it several hours ago. A dedicated party could take that down in a couple of hours. 6 guys on a team would only have to win six matches to take control of the node.

    We set some kind of PA record for sucking ass tonight. Except for OG who had to tell us to stop playing because we all sucked so bad.

    WOOOO!

  • KetarKetar Come on upstairs we're having a partyRegistered User regular
    Although it burned, I won enough HCTDM to put us in the lead for now. Along with hopefully enough regular TDM wins to keep holdimg on. If not, c'est la vie.

    HC TDM is campy as all hell, but it doesn't bother as much as HC KC. I played enough to win a good 20 or so of the required games, and the camping in that mode is unbelievable. I mean, sit around and defend an objective, or even wait for people to come towards you in TDM, but camping and ignoring a pile of dog tags sitting in front of you? So painful. I lost track of how many people ran right past obvious tags without even trying to collect them.

    Do they have the respawn timer in HC this time, or did they adopt the more sensible version from Ops 2?

  • mFiendmFiend l33t quarkscooper America's HatRegistered User regular
    HC KC and Dom do not have respawn timers, but TDM does. I don't know what it was in the past, but I haven't found it to be that annoying.

    that isnt a HCKC thing, its a KC thing in general. super annoying, but what can you do.

    HCTDM had a respawn timer in all the games but Ops 2. 15 seconds.

  • mFiendmFiend l33t quarkscooper America's HatRegistered User regular
    I think it's only 5 seconds now. It feels like less.

    PS4: mFiend
  • MechanicalMechanical Registered User regular
    Technically, it's wave-based 15-second timers. So "up to 15 seconds" might be a more accurate phrasing. Either way, liked it better after they dumped it.

  • JusticeforPlutoJusticeforPluto Registered User regular
    You know what,

    If another clan wants to play hardcore for the node, they can have it.
