    So done with HCTDM.

    If there's anything more frustrating than having a streak broken because a teammate plants himself next to your IED and then the anti-friendly fire code kills you when it goes off... I don't ever want to encounter it. Even more annoying than a death because a teammate runs right into your line of fire.

    We're still 6 points behind first place. And we're down to 17 wins in regular TDM and likely to lose it soon.

    You guys, if we can capture one more node we get this patch:

    I'll hop on if you still want to play, warning the way the Lions have played to day has sucked much joy out of my life.

    To join the clan you still need to download the app, apply, and then be approved by dinoarus. He just doesn't check it that often and needs a reminder here to actually go approve you in the app.

    Thanks dude, I've sent a clan request in. While it's unlikely I'll be able to play with any of you, at least I can contribute to the scores in clan wars.

    Well that was just about the worst session of CoD I've ever had. I was just 2 levels from first Prestige so I figured I'd do a nice long session and finish it off. Also that terrible fucking Ping challenge that I've been fighting with for like 2 weeks and still need one more to finish.

    4 or so hours later I finally get level 60 after some truley terrible play. Just horrible. Didn't help that it was mostly me and pubs vs full teams sporting them same clan tag all night. The last match was really great as the entire enemy clan was quick scoping, and nothing beats seeing someone and hitting them with a couple bullets before getting dropped with one shot, repeatedly, all fucking match.

    And of course during those hours of always running Ping and getting at least a dozen kills that should count but don't for some damn reason I still haven't gotten the damn kill so I can finish this stupid challenge and never use that fucking perk again.


    It's been a while since I felt like breaking a controller but I was almost there just now.

    The couple of ops I've been trying to get done are really just getting me frustrated as hell.

    For emptying an entire mag in players without missing, I've been trying to drop a jug and let the enemy pick it up. Every time I manage to get a jug and drop it, enemies avoid it like the plague and after a couple of minutes it just goes poof.

    And for "no place to hide", kill 6 different enemies as the maniac. It literally means 6 different enemies/players. Might be easier on FFA in strikezone.

    Picked this up over the weekend and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I think the number one problem with this game that is the basis for every other problem is the map designs. They are too fricking big. There are so many places to be shot from, which makes moving around a liability, which makes camping more prevalent.

    Also there are so many long sightlines that marksman and sniper rifles the de facto weapon of choice. And FUCK the guy or girl that made 2 of the sniper rifles perform a 1-shot kill at the knees, I can't fathom how anyone thought that was a good idea.

    Eh, keep playing. The only map I think really sees a ton of snipers or marksman rifles is Stonehaven.

    The maps also aren't actually that hard to move around on. Everybody thinks that initially, including me, but you'll start picking up on the best paths to take. There is usually some way to move through or adjacent to any seemingly large open area without exposing yourself much to a sniper.

    And while some of the maps are quite big, as long as you don't end up in a match with 2 teams of campers you'll start to find that there are certain areas on every map that are just about always high traffic zones.

    Honestly, after some time I don't think there are any maps that I hate, which is a CoD first for me. Some are more or less fun than others, but there aren't any I can't stand to play on.

    Then again, I mostly play TDM. The map design may be shit for an objective mode like Dom or S&D, but since I play solo pretty much all the time I tend to avoid modes where lousy teammates will be truly infuriating.

    Stormfront has some issues with Snipers too. Especially in Dom where half the map is usually empty.

    That said, it's still one of my favorite maps.

  • KetarKetar Come on upstairs we're having a partyRegistered User regular
    Yeah, people do love to snipe on Stormfront. I haven't really found it difficult to kill snipers on that map though, so it hasn't bothered me much. And even with a fair number there's always a bunch of people just running and gunning like normal. Stonehaven is the only map that I see bog down into a campfest a large percentage of the time.

  • MechanicalMechanical Registered User regular
    It's more fun to hammer B in Stormfront with thermobaric grenades and the M32 anyway.

    The issue I run into isn't so much that it's hard to kill them, but that there are some really great places to put IEDs to defend yourself.

    I suppose I just need to build a SitRep or Blast Shield class to clean out some campers, but then that resets my Support streak :(

    Guess I'll gain some Extinction levels since I have Saturday off. See how good my auto-turret is when I'm not playing with a bunch of shitty randoms.

    I got that festive email. There are 2 "congratulations, you're in the top X% of players because you did Y" messages in it. The messages lead me to believe that people must be baaaaaaaaaaad at this game.

    Message the first: "Congratulations, you got 6 headshots in a match. That's in the top 25% of scores ever for this game."
    Message the second: "Congratulations, you've reached 150 headshots. That's in the top 22% of scores."

    I have no idea how 150 headshots at this point could possibly put me in the top 22% of CoD Ghosts players. O_o

    Hi all! I'm new here and have a few questions about your clan.
    1)What division are you guys in?
    2)How many members on ps3?
    3)Are there any stat requirement for joining?
    4)Any reqirements at all for joining?

    I ask this because the clan I'm currently in finished 3rd in L.A. and got shut out of capture points in this last War. I want to be a part of a good clan that, if not already, will get into gold or higher. The clan I'm with right now is in silver and it seemed like only a handful of over 80 was actually competing last round of clan wars. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you guys. Btw, my psn is same as my name on here: ZeroRilix

    We get drunk and play call of duty and hope some of the three people who are consistently good will carry us or that one of the rest of us will do well. And we're mostly X-Box.

    Though funnily enough in this last clan war most of the points came from a solo PS3 player and a solo PS4 player...

    I confirmed 32 kills in a match and that score is in the top 100,000 I can believe that, but my reaching 150 headshots being in the top 19% seems less believable.

  • mosssnackmosssnack Yeah right, man, Bishop should go! Good idea!Registered User regular
    Dang, I haven't gotten any neat stat emails.

    On a side note, the stat tracking in this installment is a bit underwhelming.
