Yup, I really think the PotG are biased to “having lots of bullets and getting an accidental headshot”.
I was running around with the double barreled shotgun, and killed two people in one reload, and killed a third by doing a double buttstock-to-the-head, earning me a triple kill. I did that twice in a match, but nope PotG went to the guy with the big magazine shooting loads of bullets quickly” :bigfrown:
Don’t they know how difficult a double-buttstock move is?
Suppressor still has gun drawbacks right? Do you lose range/damage when equipping it on your SMG? Kinda hard to tell in this one.
Finished up the MP40, and moved on to the PPSH. Got an awesome Heroic variant called The Snake, and it's beautiful! It's the "II" variant so it doesn't look shitty. Haven't used this gun since the beta, and I forgot about the glory that is the bullet hose.

Suppressors simply reduce damage drop off by 30%. For example if you normally get a three shot kill with the grease gun at 10 meters, with a suppressor, your three shot kill range goes down to 7 meters. You can somewhat alleviate this with Advanced Rifling, but it means you still lose about 10% range with both attached.
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.
Snipers are so ridiculously broken... in any other game, this would be an exploit that gets patched out. But I guess it's just working as intended for CoD. Sniper rifles should not get aim assist at all. These assholes are just abusing the system with their OHK bullshit weapons. Getting the drop on someone and unloading into them, only to have them turn around and tap L2/RS for a OHK shouldn't happen... like ever.
Oh how I wish there were search options for games! That way I could filter out snipers and not have to deal with that broken crap.

Gustov Cannon- Whoever is responsible for this map should be fired, and should never be allowed to work in game development ever again.
The majority of the dummies that play this- What the hell? "Oooh, give us boots on the ground. Stop with the exo jump junk!" The developers do this, and what do you do? Y'all hop around like a bunch of psychopaths all the time. What the hell are you jumping around for? Stop it, get some help.
Apologies if you love sniping or hopping around. I'm sure you're a nice person... maybe

Jumping around corners is really popular, it throws off their aim.
As for sniping, that's been a thing since....MW2? Like, I expect the average kill camp of a sniper to look like their cat decided to attack the controller.

You're getting a lot of corner hoppers as a number of BF4 infywhores moved over to COD and are attempting to ZouZou jump you in a game where that mechanic doesn't exist.
Yeesh. It's got issues to be sure. Case in point, servers are down now. There are too few maps and so on. But it's a solid CoD and hits most of the basic things you expect from CoD. You can even choose your gametype. You hear that, Destiny? YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR GAMETYPE!

In 2017 that's what the world needed, a selection of modes where 12 year olds across the globe could tell you how hard they fucked your mum last night.
Ok, that hot take might have been largely salt based.
This stupid game is very hard to love though. I'm still plagued by hitmarker bullshit. I got hitmarkers on a grenade explosion... in hardcore TDM... HARDCORE! Snipers make the game borderline unplayable, and if it isn't snipers it's the "servers" that make the game unplayable. Yesterday morning was fine, but in the afternoon, basically every other game I "lost connection"
It's just frustrating, because on the rare occasion it works as intended (and there's only a few snipers in the lobby), the game is super fun. And it's not that I think I should be going 35-4 in a game. I don't care about KDR or anything. It's just the worst feeling to know you had the drop on someone and you only get hitmarkers while they calmly turn and kill you in two shots.

@Skull2185 I'm having the exact opposite experience of you. When I die to a Sniper it's usually my fault for peaking. Every now and again I do take a random Quick Scope but it's usually from someone whom is willing to invest way more time and effort to there level of play. Im barely under a 1 K/D and it feels right to me. I've had a bunch of good games and when I'm playing with people I know it's a blast.
BF1 was still the way better game in my opinion but I'm enjoying my time here.
The game works and is fun for the most part. I've actually been having some fun learning to snipe with a 4X scope, as the hold breath mechanic doesn't seem to work well for me and I prefer an oldschool hardscope approach. Something different from the usual run and gun playstyle I favor.

If hit markers are a problem for you then may I introduce you to our lord and saviour Shovel? You don't get hit markers with Shovel.
I had a few games last night against a fellow disciple of Shovel and it was pretty funny. Both of us were top of our respective teams and it just felt like destiny whenever we ran into each other. Then the second game we clashed in a warehouse on Canary Wharf (FUCK WHAT YOU CALL THE MAP SLEDGEHAMMER!) and circled each other like fucking samurai for a brief second before clashing.
He had the better score than me overall and I learned a thing or two from his playstyle which was nice, I'll never use what I learned because I'm an idiot and refuse to prep enemies with concussion grenades first but whatever.
Wherever you are Joey_Boejangles know that I will always remember you fondly, kindred Shovel spirit!

Combat shotgun, and toggle action are absolute beasts. Might be the best treatment Shotguns have received since MW2.
Had another "thrilling" PotG pop up. Guy sniping and getting two kills. Kill 1, he was aiming about 2 feet to the right of the guy. Kill 2, he very clearly shot the guy in the knee and was awarded a headshot :rotate:
they nerfed the combat shotgun back to previous devs hate shotguns levels
also Storm gets mad at grenade hitmarkers as well and I don't understand what's not to understand. Got hitmarkers with frags? maybe you didn't get the grenade close enough or over/undercooked it.
I dunno, Combat shotty is pretty reliable for me, but I have Gold camo on it so at this point I have a lot of time spent and familiarity.

Now the Sawn-off and the Drilling? Those guns are garbage, too inconsistent and too unforgiving to warrant the terrible reloads.

the only reason to use the drilling is for the lulz of using the rifle barrel and sniping dudes off the beach with it in Neptune. But generally the combat shotgun is the only one worth using in most cases, while the TA can kinda sorta work situationally. You're still probably better off taking a K98k with irons honestly.
Speaking of irons, I just run around with an Infantry using a Karabin with a 4X sight as a DMR. I do have a mountain with a Springfield and also a 4X. The hold breath thing just doesn't feel right to me.

Combat shotgun is okay I guess (certainly better than the trash fire that is the toggle action). It's still massively inconsistent and a reminder that not enough FPS developers know anything about guns.

The reason why shotguns are the way they are in COD and in many other games is that if held to a real world figure it would cause 90% of the maps to turn into a shotgun shitshow. The only way to keep it balanced is to either underpower shotguns or massively overpower everything IE MW2.
Realistic ballistics has it's time and place but not in a COD game with the hitreg, network issues, and map sizing.

they don't have to make them realistic, just add like 20% to the max range even if they keep the range for max damage the same. Nothing quite like your shot being deleted because your target was 21 feet away
You get cases like the SPAS in Blops1 where the suppressor had zero downsides because the pellets disappeared at the exact same range as the unsuppressed SPAS with zero damage drop off.
Seems like there's a map exploit in Point du Hoc? There was some guy ontop of the rubble next to the bombed out MG bunker. Couldn't find a way up there myself, and also couldn't hurt him with guns or explosives.

Despite my bitching, I am enjoying this game the more I play it. I've just come to expect that hitmarker bullshit is just always going ot be a thing. I just focus on the marksman challenges and getting my wins higher than my losses. It's been going well. Just need 199 grease gun kills, and all the kills for the waffle and type 100 to be done with the SMGs. Been playing a lot of Hardpoint too. Managed to get my W/L to a +10 ratio! Might do all the camos, but I want to finish the marksman challenges for all the guns first.
It's funny though... the goal here is to reach max level so I can promptly reset my progress and do it all again. Madness :rotate:

What you don't like a shittier version of hijacked or whatever it was called? I mean who doesn't love nade spam en-mass onto B.
It was called wet works, first.
It was called carrier, second.
And the reason I'm saying that is because, after watching 30seconds of video to sate my curiosity about if it was just wet works remake, it sure does look like a lot of reused assets from [email protected] (the worst CoD)
Also I keep wasting my flak guns! I get em, and hold onto em. Recon planes get called in but I'm like "nah, something better will come in" but nothing better comes in. So I shoot down the next recon planes, and then usually shortly thereafter there's, like carpet bombings or paratroopers inbound... :x

[email protected] was very respectful to me, and even called me back a few days later like it said it would. We went out a few more times after that, but ultimately decided to remain just friends.
