drahkon Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I bought the DLC last night, played a bit on the new maps and really enjoyed them. Yeah, most of the maps are great. Gauntlet is the worst of those 4, but still not bad at all As mentioned in the Gaming Diary thread I've had a 9 1/2 hours session last night (those double xp weekend has to be taken advantage of, especially since I don't have time to play later today and tomorrow) Managed to get my global K/D from 0.65 to 0.99. Apparently I got a lot better My best match yesterday (and probably ever) was 20/3 on combine. I just wrecked everyone.

If I didn't buy it when it was £20 on Amazon, I'm not gonna buy it when it's £35. You really want some of us to buy it, don't you?

My mate has it and says it's the best COD in years. But just don't have the time for more games. I'll wait for COD NX at christmas
Kav Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 It was £20 on Amazon and you passed it up?! Nuts! Haha I game with a mate on it but a full squad is always more fun... plus he doesn't get on until after 10pm so until then it's me on my own, haha. That it's a return to good times on CoD is the big thing, I'm surprised you guys don't fancy it anymore.

You crazy guys don't seem to start playing stuff until 9pm, which is when I'm winding down.
drahkon Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 @kav82, I joined you today. We ended up on opposing teams. Had an awesome match but you left Anyway, reched level 51 (Prestige 2) just now. Tried out some weapons: Sheiva, Pharo and Argus. So awesome
Kav Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 @kav82, I joined you today. We ended up on opposing teams. Had an awesome match but you left Anyway, reched level 51 (Prestige 2) just now. Tried out some weapons: Sheiva, Pharo and Argus. So awesome Yeah I had to make a call, sorry. I love the Sheiva, it's an awesome gun! Stick High Calibur on it, it turns it into a 1-shot headshot! I'd also recommends the long barrel with any assault rifle as it doubles their effective ranges!
drahkon Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Yeah I had to make a call, sorry. No problem. I was just surprised I'd also recommends the long barrel with any assault rifle as it doubles their effective ranges! Yeah, that's pretty awesome : peace: Long barrel on Argus is insane, too! Looking to reach Prestige 3 today. 5 more levels to go. Should be doable.
Kav Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Cheers for the games tonight @drahkon, there some some really good ones in there! Sorry I left when I did, I joined my mate in his party... it probably was better for you actually as I was doing crap in that last game, haha. We should get a bigger party going if you fancy it, have a few of us controlling the maps!
drahkon Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Cheers for the games tonight @drahkon, there some some really good ones in there! Yeah, some of them were incredible : peace: Sorry that I didn't invite you to our party chat but we were in a heated discussion about women Sorry I left when I did, I joined my mate in his party... it probably was better for you actually as I was doing crap in that last game, haha. Not a problem. It was a shame that we had to play against you in some matches. You owned us in some of them :p
dwarf Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 So what's the crack with multiplayer then? Usually I like to have a stealthy, silenced smg class and a stealthy, non-silenced sniper class, what are my options?
Kav Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 So what's the crack with multiplayer then? Usually I like to have a stealthy, silenced smg class and a stealthy, non-silenced sniper class, what are my options? If you're going stealthy with SMG then equip a Stock as well, as you can move whilst ADS and stay off the map with Ghost because the stock allows you to move at 104% walking speed. The Kuda is a good stealth SMG, I'd go: Kuda Silencer Stock Blackcell Thermite (best grenade/tactical) Ghost Hardwired Dead Silence Blast Supressor Perk 3 Greed Bear in mind, for sniping, the Silencer does NOT effect the damage/range of the snipers at all so I'd ALWAYS recommend running a Silencer! Either the Locus or SVG-100 are decent, although if you prefer to be able to spam then the Drakon is good.
drahkon Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Thermite (best grenade/tactical) I must be missing something with the Thermite. Mabe I haven't used it correctly, but it's been worthless every time. Managed to get the Diamond camo with Assault Rifles a couple of days ago Now I'm working my way through the SMGs and LMGs. Need a loooot of headshots.
drahkon Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) This is the perfect game to just sit back, enjoy voice chat with a mate and play match after match : peace: Already played this for more than 150 hours... Pre-ordered the next DLC. The new maps look amazing Even if I end up paying 100€ for the complete package (main game + all DLC's), considering the time I've spent and will spend it's well worth the money. Not bad for a boring AAA-brown-generic-FPS :p Edit: The maps are awesome. : peace: Edited April 19, 2016 by drahkon

I bought the season pass just before the first DLC hit and I've just downloaded the new DLC now. I'm loving the game!
drahkon Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 If there's one thing for certain, this game isn't brown! It's a very colourful game. I know, I know. I was just baiting :p I'm loving the game! Same here : peace: I've managed to get the Diamond camo for SMGs and LMGs in the past few weeks. Now I'm working my way to get 100 headshots for the Brecci...getting headshots with a shotgun sucks. Even on hardcore. Occasionally I'll throw in some pistol headshots... Getting Diamond camo for those two weapon classes will be a long road
Kav Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 One thing I detest about this game is the matchmaking. If you've any sort of skill it always puts you on a team of the most useless of players! It's so hard to get a win when you game alone as you're just always paired with noobs! You can go on a right tear, have an awesome game and yet still lose! It's maddening...

It's so hard to get a win when you game alone as you're just always paired with noobs! You can go on a right tear, have an awesome game and yet still lose! It's maddening... Yup, it's horrible...While doing the Sniper Rifle camo challenges I averaged a K/D of aprox 1.00 and very low score per minute so I often got into teams of quite good players. Now that I'm done with almost all camo challenges (except for the Knife; 100 kills to go and then those final few challenges...) I can use my favourite weapons again and play much better...and I get shitty teams a lot. When my mate and I are in the same team it's even worse as he is quite good, too (unless he does the sniper rifle camo challenges )...we can both end up with stats around 25/5 and still lose because the others die 20 times and kill 3. We also tried to play objective based game modes a couple of times...but when your team only goes for kills there's nothing you can do We returned to Team Deathmatch after 5 matches of Domination...

I feel you man, this is my absolute biggest gripe when playing with randoms! It gets my blood boiling! Haha
drahkon Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 I feel you man, this is my absolute biggest gripe when playing with randoms! It gets my blood boiling! Haha I hope the Black Market contracts will help with objective based modes. If the contracts will be something like "Win 10 Capture the Flag matches" I can see more people going for the objectives. In other news: I only need the final 5 camos for the Combat Knife and then the Dark Matter Camo will be mine I have just now managed to get two Bloodthirsty medals with the knife. 3 to go...I think this will be the most difficult camo to get across all weapon classes. A couple of backstabbings, revenge and survivor medals. And then I'm done with the weapons :awesome:
Mandalore Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 It's the persistent stat tracking which kills the objective based games. Everyone is too obsessed with their K/D, never used to be a problem in the original Call of Duty.
drahkon Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Yeah, it's annoying. I mean, I like my 1.48 over-all K/D, but mainly because I play Team Deathmatch 99% of the time which means my K/D helps the team win. When I see people with 50/5 stats on domination but without a single capture...URGH! That's the reason why I don't play objective based matches. And that's why I hope those contracts I mentioned encourage people to go for objectives. Managed to get the last 3 5-kill streaks with the knife Now I only need to kill someone with the knife, pick up their weapon and kill them with it. 3 times and I'm done. Edit: And there it is: No idea how long it took me, especially since I took a lot of breaks from going for those challenges but now I did it : peace: Several weapons made me think about how to play, how to set up my loadouts, how to use the specialists. While it may be a grind for some players, for me the road to Dark Matter was an incredibly fun and varied journey Now my playtime for the multiplayer is almost at 220 hours and I'm not stopping.

Kav Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 @drahkon, you seen this? My word, the grip and BOA together is unreal!
drahkon Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I've read something about it on reddit but didn't bother checking up on it. Not sure if this will help in Hardcore (the mode I only play), though, as most of the time one bullet kills so recoil reduction wouldn't be that useful. It would change the way how I my classes are set up...my goto weapon setup for Hardcore is Razorback with stock and fast mags. So I would have to add an optic and take away something else...I do like my two tacticals and the thermite and a perk wildcard, though I'll try some weapons with optics now. Will report. Edit: I see the optics' value in Core matches. Having the recoil reduced this much makes shooting people easier, obviously. In Hardcore, however, they don't seem to be much help. They actually made me play worse because I hate looking through optics and have my view restricted. Most of the time I don't come into a situation where lower recoil might be an advantage because gunfights usually don't last long enough. If I have to hold the trigger longer - e.g. when I try to kill two enemies from a distance - I manage to keep the recoil under control without a grip/optics. This update would've helped me getting headshots, though...having a Vesper with recoil reduced that much would've made things a lot quicker... Edited May 19, 2016 by drahkon
