    I really don't like USS Texas. It can be kinda fun depending on loadout, but the spawns suck.
    I am ambivalent about Gibraltar, that map feels like there is a lot of unused/inactive space.
    Gustav is also very hit and miss -literally.

    I enjoy Sainte Marie, Pointe Du Hoc, Ardennes, Aachen.

    London Docks occasionally has Gibraltar issues. Flak Tower also has some spawn issues.

    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.

    Pointe du Hoc is probably my favorite map. It's a shame about that glitch spot though... not sure how widely known it is, but hopefully it gets fixed quick. Really, the only map I straight up hate is Gustav.

    With Gustav it's about choosing an approach and making it work. You can be the guy sniping onto the guys huddled on top of the train. You can be the guy sniping from the train. You can be the shotgunner making it so that entering the barn or farmhouse is death. You can be an smg runner doing laps around the map and clearing out all structures. And so on.

    Apparently there was a patch today with a bunch of bug fixes, hoping the glitch on Pointy dew cocks is one of the ones fixed since it's incredibly easy to get into. Every time I play that match lately I find myself camping the entrance to that spot just to try to stop people from going there.

    I hit rank 52 last night, and I have 1 hour and 14 minutes of double XP left. I assume 55 is max rank? I think I might be able to prestige tonight. It's safe to do so now, right?

    55 is max rank, then you have to xp a full level before you are eligible for Prestige.

    The new patch (on PS4) at least has fixed it so that you are in a party of friends, everybody can see the top 3 players, the loot box distribution, the scoreboard and the stat progression (it used to be only the host who could see it, while the other could be staring to an empty black screen).

    So that’s a very nice fix :+1:

    The big amount of people in the HQ has made my social score skyrocket; suddenly I have received a M1928 Wilco :biggrin:

    I just hate that it seems like now you have to leave your lobby to get back in the HQ.

    I liked HQ better in the state it was last week.

    The division prestige and supply drop thing seem to be kind of wide spread, so hopefully that gets addressed quick. I was in a pretty good groove on hardcore TDM last night too. It's slower paced, which I don't care for too much. However, people love to corner camp and not move around which I do like. I might get killed, but I can almost always run back to that spot and the dummy is still there as a free kill for me. Plus bullets are actually lethal in hardcore, so that's good for the marksman challenges.

    Just wish Hardpoint was available in Hardcore. Kill confirmed too.

  • Hiryu02Hiryu02 Registered User regular
    As someone who has definitely had issues in the past with supply drops vanishing, I will say that this issue has not re-occurred for quite some time since my last rage post about it.

    I have prestiged twice and no glitch.

    I actually like the new implementation of HQ. If you don't need to pick up orders or mail or open boxes, you can sit in the menu, like in older CoDs and do everything from there. You only need to go to HQ for something specific.

    My gripe is that they put the enter HQ option where the Public Match option used to be in the menus and I end up zoning into HQ accidentally quite a bit lol.

    See, I looked all over yesterday and the only thing I can do without actually going to the HQ is open supply drops. Where do I go in the menus to prestige weapons and myself?

    You can prestige weapons from the menu. It's before you actually select the weapon to go in the loadout. When you have the gun highlighted there will be an option to hold a button to prestige it if it is eligible.

    You need to be in HQ for division or player prestige.

    I was more talking about being able to change loadouts, look at orders, challenges, calling cards, choose gametypes etc in a menu outside of HQ.

    Dunno if it's from the patch yesterday or what, but I cannot access the division prestige guy. I press square and the activation circle thing goes around the button icon, but I can't access that menu. Also, opening the supply drop menu in the HQ is risky too. The menu gets stuck open, and I can't move at all. Can't close the menu either. Have to completely exit the game and reload.

    Searched online last night, and lots of people are experiencing this as of yesterday.

    HCKC would be the best. Same with hardpoint, though I feel like hardpoint would be 100% better if the zones were random instead of the set order.

    I really don't get the point of unlock tokens. Permanent unlock tokens I get, but not the standard ones. Weapons still don't unlock until certain levels, so why make you use a token you're already going to have an abundance of to go through an extra step?

    Also, I wish HCTDM awarded more XP or something. It's become my go to mode, but I don't get them XP gains as fast as KC or Hardpoint.

    Hardpoint gives too much exp compared to other modes. Twice the kill exp compared to dom and basically just as much for fighting on points

    Sorry I'm late, but @MNC Dover just told me that Holiground passed away, and I came to pay my respects. I know that he was a friend to a lot of us. Really sad news. I keep thinking about all the fun times we had on Call of Duty. He was such a fun guy to hang out with. I see that there was some discussion about getting the band back together to play some CoD in his honor. Obviously, that would have been months ago. Is that still something folks would be interested in?

    It's barely even useful in HC. Any range that's not "short" means you're kinda fucked. Thing kicks like a rabid mule. Grip and one of the sights are pretty much required too. Ugh, can't wait to hit 500 kills and be done with it.

    CoD doesn't do skill based matchmaking, right? I feel like I've been getting somewhat decent lobbies lately where we're all the same level of just kinda above average CoD players.

    the skill-based matching is only in the ranked mode. I think ping is the one and only matching metric currently in find a match.

    I hope there's another double XP weekend soon. Also, orders should reward XP! Like, 500 per daily and 1500 per weekly.

    Or they could just flip the switch on that triple XP again, or whatever it was at launch.
