Alright played for about an hour. Looks like a ton of potential in MP. Pick 10 gives you the opportunity to build the classes you want. Maps seem diverse and interesting.

I am sorry, It just dawned on me what an asshat I have been in regards to these things, I am sorry it has taken me this long to realize it.

Might get that after the 23rd.


Explain what pick 10 is please?

The new class system that's already been explained in here. Everything in your loadout, from weapons to attachments to grenades to perks, has a value of 1 point. You're allowed 10 points in your loadout. So if you wanna sacrifice say, your tactical grenades for a weapon with two attachments, you can.

There are some restrictions on it (you can't just choose like 9 perks and a weapon or anything like that), but on the whole it feels like it will be a nice way to come up with some unique classes.

Sorry must have missed that. That does sound pretty nice. Would give up claymores easily for some other boon.

Any good sniping maps?

Also you can play bootcamp up to level 10 and it will roll over to the actual multiplayer. For noobs like me its useful so i can get familiar with stuff before I get owned.

I can't say too much about loadouts yet since I've only just started playing and have next to nothing unlocked. But it's definitely got me thinking about what I'll be doing for my ghost class.

Haven't played all the maps yet, but all the ones I have played seem to have at least a couple of decent snipe spots. One map, I think it's called Turbine, is pretty pure sniping. Big canyon with lots of rockiness. Some really long sightlines.

Is dual-wielding out? Feel like I already know the answer to this

No you can dual wield

How?

Unlock the option in the secondary? I know you can because I've picked up dual pistols.

I want dual SMGs and I don't see it under attachments

Probably not for SMGs, but I'm sure there are automatic pistols you can dual wield.

Damn, Actually think this is brilliant. Hate playing catchup if you don't get it launch day.

Anything like wasteland? Or Mission?


Mmm, dual revolvers.

You couldn't dual smgs in mw3. The best you get is automatic pistols.

I fucking love this game so far. After a VERY rough start my K/D is up to a 1.09 and I have fallen in love with whichever shotgun they give you to start out with. The loadout system is fantastic, and all of the maps are good after a first impression.

Also Nuketown 2025 is all shiny and awesome.

FAngel you would hate it though. Don't waste the money.

I've always valued your opinion, Miotch.

Therefore I will purchase it.

I've only had one game on multiplayer because my PS3 connection has been terrible. Still did ok though.

The servers right now are a bit overloaded I believe, which would be my biggest criticism.

Thats to be expected though.

Absolutely hate the round split in Domination, ruined the mode imo.

They split dom into rounds? :(

How would that even work? best of 3 or like it stops midway through and starts over from opposite spawn?

There's a time limit and when it's half way through what ever the time limit is you switch sides. Have yet to see one or two games actually get to 200 points.

So it flips who controls what points?

Few more observations.

-UAV/mini-map reading is huge in this game. Or at least it will be for a little bit. Ghost isn't unlocked until level 55, and it takes a bit of time to unlock silencers, so when a UAV goes up or you fire a shot, you're gonna be a target.
-Haven't found a gun yet that's working for me on the level of, say, the PP90M, but there's a few good ones so far. Like Miotch mentioned, the initial pump action shotty is pretty beast, the MTAR is a nice rifle, and the Vector is a nice smg. Definitely gonna be doing more work with LMGs soon.
-Maps are nice. Fangel will hate this but the I've only played one that feels like a pure sniper map. Most of them have a pretty good collection of different engagement types, IE long sightlines, close quarters, sniper perches, etc.. Favourite map at this point is probably Hijacked. Reminds me a bit of Wetwork from COD4.
-Campaign has been fun so far. Only did a few missions, but they were cool. Taking out helicopters with a stinger while riding around on horseback feels uniquely Call of Duty.
-Pointstreaks feel pretty balanced for the most part. Haven't seen any high level ones yet though.

So yeah. Enjoying it thus far.

No, It resets the flags and you switch what your initial spawns are (Ie, the team that spawned by the A flag at the start, will spawn by the C flag when the round starts) but the score is the same as it was when time ran out in the first round. Basically the game restarts, but with whatever the score was before "halftime"

It's annoying, and ruins the flow of the mode.

Is the manual for this game literally half a page showing a picture of the Xbox 360 controller with the other 3 pages just the warranty and Live details?

This basically is like MW4..wish I could get silencers and claymore realy early like in Blackops .
And sometimes when there's 12 people in a room it makes you wait and it reads "need more players to balance teams". So there gona have to patch that up

Was the last time you bought a video game circa 2006?

They should abolish paper manuals next console cycle. Pointless now.

No, played and bought a bunch of games that had pretty small manuals. This one might be the shortest considering the actual part of the manual is just a single picture.

Don't actually own the game though and just played it a bit with a friend who bought a copy today.

To be fair, only have played Black Ops 1 for CoD games this gen (and like 2-3 rounds of CoD 4 multiplayer).

LMGs are beasts in this, ive ran with the LSW since I unlocked it, and coupled it with the grip and zoom sight. Zero recoil, and has allowed me to beast to my 1.60 k/d so far.

What do you get for prestiging?

I don't get why you all keep buying these games

Yeah I've always used LMGs in COD, just been working more with rifles and SMGs at this point. Absolutely love that one beginning class with I think the LSAT with the target finder. Was beasting with it.

I don't get why you feel the need to make this post.


You don't find the series fun. Other people do.

Get over it.

MSMC, favorite gun in the game so far. Reminds me of the PP90 personally.

The wonderfully insane after-credits ending.
