    P-one, recheck your links

    Fixed. I guess Dropbox isn't the best to use to link images. Looked like it worked on my screen last night.

    Man I can't wait until I get back to my xbox after a month and a half. And then on the 28th my One should arrive and I already have the one version of ghosts waiting on me from amazon.

    That being said, I can't get enough hc kc with my chainsaw.

    I have hitherto not been at all excited about new camo, but I am stoked for those holiday gun sweaters.

    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.

    34 confirms gets you top 50,000

    which is pretty crazy for just 2 more.

    I see the wolf and the camo in the xbox one add on store with (unavailable) where purchase should be. Checked the ingame store in case they were only available from the in game market but the cod store just wont load.

    A lego set of dome?

    They should set that up in legoland, because that shit is life-size.

    Make it a laser tag arena and you got a million dollar idea.

    Oh Shit! For the low price of $1.99 you can turn your guard dog kill streak into a wolf. If I actually liked having the guard dog I would be quite tempted by this.

    If they really wanted my money they'd let me reskin the Helo Pilot as a dragon. I'd pay $10 for that and I can't even get the Helo Pilot often.

    I always use the dog and he does pretty well for me, but I never see him. Most of his kills happen when he's making his way back to me after I die.

    The only time I see Dogue is when I'm doing squads.

    The dog can be super effective in some areas, and is usually a super trolltastic version of martyrdom that can just keep killing if you die. I usually enjoy having him. Sometimes though he gets you killed by going after an enemy who is now waiting for you to round that corner, and other times the dog feels like a waste when I'm up to my third or fourth earned dog and can't do jack with it since the first one never died.

    Pretty sure I get more kills, more consistently with the dog than with the Trinity missile. And I definitely feast on more tears.

  • SLyMSLyM Registered User regular
    The trinity missile isn't that good from my experience. The smart missiles are okay but the thing itself needs to land basically right on top of someone to kill them.

    So! I watched the intro to Ghosts! That's something.

    Does it escalate from there or do they frontload the insanity this time? :P

    Oh brilliant

    There are satellite weapons, explosions aplenty, and a bad guy with nebulous goals and a personal vendetta.

    It is a Call of Duty campaign, with all the appropriate trimmings.

    Just got this game. Are the kill streaks really boring or am I doing it wrong? Dog seems a little dumb. The sat-com doesn't seem to detect anyone and. Oh hey juggernaut with a knife?

    Okay. Things I've learned about this game.

    1. Don't worry about kill streaks.
    2. Don't ever use your knife.

    The dog can be great. Sentry gun can rack up a lot of kills when positioned well. And the gryphon is a floating rocket launcher (totally awesome).

    The Loki is fun, but it can be really frustrating to get any kills with it.

    I guess I just miss raining down death and destruction without relent.

    Seems like that aspect was nerfed a bit?

    steam_sig.png
  • MagellMagell Detroit Machine Guns Fort MyersRegistered User regular
    killstreaks are much more boring this time around. The Gryphon can be fun, but they don't have the ridiculously awesome kill streak in this game, which makes me sad.

  • DasUberEdwardDasUberEdward Registered User regular
    Boooo game booooo.

    Well uh any other tips or tricks to this one? Seems like they tried to make it more of a tactical shooter? Which is cool I guess but not why I picked up a COD game.

    Try Cranked.

  • SLyMSLyM Registered User regular
    So I went for the recon challenges and made a class with 2 semtex, the secondary grenade launcher and a pair of concussions. I basically went into the game expecting to get no kills but hopefully blast through the challenge as quick as possible.

    That game I ended up going 50-25. The grenade launcher is actually pretty damn good (not mw2 good, thank god, but still) and recon is actually pretty usable for a 1 point perk. It does the oracle type reveal on explosive damage that you can see through walls and makes it really easy to deal with campers.

    Kinda upset that the "kill someone with your second lethal" challenge doesn't work with an under barrel launcher.

  • SLyMSLyM Registered User regular
    I'm kinda upset that one of the uniforms I actually want is attached to the grenade operation. The basic grenade is really bad. Like I'm taking two of them and strong arm and I'm 21 kills in after like 4 hours.

    The MSBS was overpowered but recently got nerfed. I haven't used it since, but its still probably one of the best ARs.

    I personally swear by the semi auto mod on ARs. Turns em into a 2 shot kill up to mid range as long as you hit them center of mass.

    Sound whoring is quite viable. All of my load outs have dead silence and amplify.

    I've pretty well settled on to the AK-12 as being my go to gun. Throw a fore grip and AP on it and it'll put in some work.

    I run Dead Silence all the time too but since I don't have a decent headset I don't bother with Amplify. Though I do use Quickdraw and Focus with pretty much everything.

  • SLyMSLyM Registered User regular
    I only don't use the AK because everyone and their dog is using that gun in my experience, and the only thing more fun than beating someone is beating them with a gun they think sucks.

    SVU with irons all day. Love having a 1/2-hit kill rifle with SMG movement speed.

  • KetarKetar Come on upstairs we're having a partyRegistered User regular
    I started with the AK, then used the Honey Badger for a prestige, and now the Remington. The Honey Badger was usable, but barely. The huge increase in sway (both how much, and how soon it begins) compared to other ARs makes it difficult to use at long range.

    The Remington, though, is pretty great. Very good at long range, and I manage a surprising number of hipfire kills against SMG users in close encounters. I just need to get some more awful kills shortly after sliding to gold it.


    Started using the juggernaut maniac for the first time today so I could complete an operation for it. Pretty amusing. Most times I've called it in it's been good for at least 5-6 more kills. Definitely more entertaining than the Hind.

  • SLyMSLyM Registered User regular
    I prefer the hind because while it probably won't get as many kills as if I had called in a maniac, it gets different kills than the maniac would, and then I get kill those people anyway.

    with a gun.

    The maniac is pretty fun, but I'd rather roll the Hind to help me get to Helo Pilot.

    On the other side of things, picking guys out of helo scouts is one of my new favourite things. I've been running into them more often lately, and I'll go out of my way to get into position to pick the guy off with a sniper or marksman rifle the second he's within range. I was using it to get a challenge in the first few days after release, and I'm glad I got those kills with it then, because it's crazy good against people who don't know how easy it is to take out.

  • SLyMSLyM Registered User regular
    the first time someone called in a helo pilot against me I was sniping, and got pretty frustrated (my round hadn't been going that well up to that point) so I just fired a shot at the copter when I respawned out of anger. And killed the guy. Which I totally didn't even know you could do at that point.

    I've never actually seen an enemy helo scout. Enemy helo pilots a few times, but not much. I think I'd have to switch to Dom or something else other than TDM if I wanted to work on any ops related to bringing down enemy aircraft.

    have you tried using danger close? i havent messed with it, but maybe it would help.
