    I couldn't quite get the AW movement down, and I couldn't find anyone to play with

    And then Destiny came out

    I like this movement system in blops3

    Yooooo,
    No one told me mothah'fuckin' STABLER was in this. This changes EVERYTHING.

    Also, i'm pretty terrible online.

    Tbh it is slower and a bit more clunkier than Titanfall. Except for a few double jumps; I just play it like BO2 with Infinite Sprint. And that is alright for me.

    I dunno, I hated how AW's movement system affected lanes (there almost weren't any) and game flow.

    I much prefer Blops3's movement, but then again, I don't think it's clunky to begin with.

    The movement system isn't the smoothest I've seen, but it's very manageable and I enjoy little tricks like the G-slide also. I do wish the maps were bigger overall, but I do like the 3-lane layouts. I think it gives some strategy to the positioning around the map. If anything the general fault that I find is that the outskirts of a lot of maps are sparse with cover and power positions, thus funneling players to the center of the maps to take power positions there. I think also that there are some objects/structures we should be able to climb on top of, but are prevented from doing so somewhat arbitrarily.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    My problem with the movement system is it doesn't really allow for sharp turns.

    Which kind of limits what you can and can't do.

    Also. The angle at which you need to jump at something that isn't completely flat can be hard to find consistently.

    I have a decent global k/d (1.43) and recently have been averaging about 2.0 per game in TDM. Reasonably satisfied until my buddy joins and puts up 44-2, 43-1, etc. like its his job. Dude has been getting a mothership in just about every other game.

    I take back everything bad I said about the VMP.

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    I like the VMP, but I need to stay back, in rifle range to survive. The VMP shoots fast as fuck with rapid fire. Its just one noise, you can't even react if a VMP wielder gets the drop on you.

    My reflexes aren't fast enough for the rush.

    So, like I said before, when are we getting new maps and YOU SURE AS SHIT BETTER PUT A CAP ON HOW MANY TIMES COMBINE CAN BE RUN WHARGLEBARGLE.

    Next week I think? 2/2 maybe? And they're putting a new version of the boat level from blops 2 in, so you'll probably see less infinite combine and more infinite boats.

    Apologies for missing the Blops invites last night (I think it was Brutle and Mercy). My son was watching a cartoon - usually if Netflix is running it's either my son or my wife who are on the PS4.

    Have had some...issues...at home lately keeping me from doing much gaming. I'm headed to PAX South tomorrow and won't be back until next week. I'll try to get back on finally then. I guess it will be decent timing with the new maps, since I went ahead with the season pass ages ago. Hopefully others will be in on them as well. Or else Viva la Combine. Or something.

    Combine over Havoc, Aquarium, and maybe even Exodus and Redwood.

    I'll vote combine once, but subsequently I'd even vote Redwood if it meant not getting combine again.

  • belligerentbelligerent Registered User regular
    yinz are crazy. Redwood has such good fights/choke points. Aquariam is an awesome shotgun map and you can flank stairs/tunnel all day.

    Havoc? is that the beach one?

    Man you all fucking suck. Those are the best maps!!

    You mean Infection I think. And yes.

    It's a snowy place, sliding off a mountain. There's floating rocks to one side.

    What the hell is the deal with place?

    It's a corrupted virtual represenation of the Battle of the Bulge during WW2.

    Hence all the WW2 era German military vehicles.

    You visit it in the Campaign. They have the tech to create VR simulations and one of them is the Battle of the Bulge.

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    Oh, ok. I haven't played the campaign

    Heh, I didn't notice one map was out of the regular rotation on PS4. So much Combine spam. BRB gonna do SoE.

    btw, next week new maps hit right?

    I don't think I've played exodus

    I almost exclusively play domination, switch it up sometimes with kill confirmed

    You're not missing much. It's bad by even the low standards of CoD.

  • belligerentbelligerent Registered User regular
    Infection is an "inception" rip off (thank you @MayGodHaveMercy for pointing that out for me). Look at the side with the wall, you'll see that it's the street folded half way upon itself.

    This also causes the UAV drone to have a fucking weird ass flight path.

  • belligerentbelligerent Registered User regular
    all kidding aside, I honestly cannot think of one map I genuinely dislike. All of them suit my playstyle.

  • DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    Yeah, the maps are mostly great, but its too hard to turn a domination game around on Fringe. You either smash the other team, or the other team smashes you.

  • acidlacedpenguinacidlacedpenguin Institutionalized Safe in jail.Registered User regular
    dude brutle, you cray. I went back and played some AW and just about everything about that game is poop. The maps and guns are cool, but the movement mechanics are from a butt, the abilities are dumb, and the killstreaks are even meher than BO3.

    Also find it kind of funny that all the WW2 guns are OP as fuck

    I'd love to use the WWII weapons in that one if they'd ever fucking drop for me. I hate that the base variants are locked until you get another from a supply drop.

    Hmm.. maybe I'll prestige by accident tonight.

    Just unlocked gold skin for spectre. He is by far my favorite specialist.

    Spectre looks cool, and Sniktbub is good times, but I don't do very well it

    It has a weird range, and I get shot out of the lunge all the time, even though when it works, its instant

    I'm thinking of switching to the android and using its scythe for anti air, but it looks dopey

    i'll probably switch it up at some point, but i have no great desire to use anything other than purifier. lighting dudes on fire is too much fun.

  • JusticeforPlutoJusticeforPluto Registered User regular
    I'm about to prestige for the first time. My permanent unlock should be:

    M8A7
    Ghost
    Scavenger
    Ripper
    Purifier

    ?

  • lionheart_mlionheart_m Registered User regular
    I'm gonna say Ghost...or Ripper. I wasted the token on the M8A7 and I barely use it now that I main SMGs...you will get a lot of mileage out of Ghost tho.
