The "NEW!" Official Call Of Duty Thread:

im not saying it wasnt strong in MW2. were talking about ghosts tho, right?

i read this since that post

http://community.activision.com/thread/200800959

turns out the new patch is nerfing snipers. so im kinda right about developer intention, and snipers being too strong

like i said i have a much easier time in ghosts than i had in blops2. i semi hard scope, and quick draw on a SR gets you down your sights at the same speed as an AR without quick draw. too fast

… Camping to strong in ghosts? There’s like barely any REAL camping in ghosts. Real camping being staying in one spot for an entire game and killing people that never know where they got shot from… That’s camping. in ghosts they show you who killed you and where from… And almost every camping spot has at least 2 avenues of access, usually 3 because the way the maps are laid out (circular with lots of random crap thrown in the middle obscuring LOS) the only decent camping spots (that also offer high amounts of LOS) are usually in the middle of maps and have huge Los from every direction… High risk high reward places. The real problem isn’t really the perks imho… It’s map size. places like stonehaven are easier to camp because it takes longer to traverse from one choke point to another, allowing snipers to pick off would be rushers at their leisure.

Also, and this is the biggest downfall to camping… You can’t really get high kills via camping unless the enemy team is absolutely stupid. Which means that you won’t be leveling very fast. Ghosts leveling only accounts for kills and gives no shits about death. So if one wants guns/perks/more slots etc etc etc… One rushes.

Having said all that… There is camping in ghosts, but it’s a far cry from what it has been in other games. The biggest problem is huge maps… And to a lesser extent, when the entire other team all camp… Or just play super defensive.

And last but not least… In team, there is a good reason to camp:

while the game may be decided on who gets to 75 first…
One way of making sure to be of value is to not feed the other team. I mean imagine if someone went like 0-35

That would basically be them just giving the other team a win… So minimizing deaths is a way for some people to try and help out.
Right now the only thing that really pisses me off about the game is the maps such as siege and tremor, chasm, sovereign etc etc etc suck donkey cock, and the good maps like strike zone, octane, war hawk don’t come up enough, so it’s like constantly playing mediocre maps like prison break and freight.

we must be playing different games. the one im playing is filled with people with awareness, an ied, a motion sensor, off the grid and about 1000 different cubby holes that leave you thinking, why the hell is this even an area you can get into

Anyone play Heavy Duty yet? Your health in the mode is apparently 130 as opposed to 100. If you hate getting sniped or getting hit by explosives this is the mode for you, since no snipers are one shot kills unless it’s a headshot. I think it’s pretty fun, since I like weapons that take a long time to kill.

The only time I get killed by IEDs is when they’re actually placed well.

I don’t exactly agree with that, but hey it’s your money dude.

Not even free for all though?

Playing this clan last night, my mate and I couldn’t beat them because the rest of our team kept going 8 -37 with 4 tags collected >_< . It wasn’t till Bassiest Bree came bearing gifts did will completely stomp them out to the point they started rage quiting. Bitches :rofl:

^ This guys post are hilarious

I may try out heavy duty…afterall christmas noobs and double xp are too good to pass up!

If anyone is on PS4, hit me up.

I REALLY like Sniping in this game and I don’t know why.

Started the Ghosts campaign on PS4. They may not be the best graphics around, but the difference between current-gen and next-gen is immediately noticeable and the game looks awesome.

I really like Riley, and controlling him is pretty cool. So far, the campaign is a lot better than BO2’s.

Why are people so against camping? It’s a legitimate playstyle. In fact it’s the smartest playstyle in cod seeing as how most people just like to run around.

Depends completely on the game mode, you’re either an asset to the team or a liability. E.g Camping in Kill Confirm is pointless, you may as well not be playing. Camping on capture the flag could be beneficial in helping the team win. Other than that, it’s boring and requires little to no skill, which is insane because I’ve seen campers still manage to go negative some how :lol:

Pro camping is an art. Being a mediocre camper is way more shameful than being a mediocre R-n-Ger. Like, you can’t win in easy mode?

Some dudes on the other teams said I was trash for using a Riot Sheild with Canister Bombs with Danger close in Domination

Heavy Duty, AKA, how the fucking game should be by default, is actually awesome.

Wish they had a FFA version.

Just like I wish they would give us a fucking FFA kill confirmed mode.

I disagree there cause surviving and not dying is just as important as getting kills for the team. sure I could run around and get tags but what’s the point if I die 20 times? That’s 20 tags the enemy team can potentially get as opposed to hiding as needed and where I may only get 5 kills BUT I never die that’s a big difference. If anything camping does take skill. You are giving up the idea of being constantly moving to seek target for a more stationary position which makes you more easy to find cause you’re not on the move. This means you need to be more aware of your surroundings cause rushers like you good sir can flank.

You see it as boring, I see it as playing smart and not running around around like the other 11-17 idiots out there. Don’t get me wrong I’ll move and rush as I need to but For me it’s much easier to hold a place down and know what can and cannot work in my spot I’m camping in as opposed to running around the whole map and worrying about other rushers/campers/snipers/explosives/tac nades/killstreaks.

Guys like you and reth it works for you to rush but guys like me plays defensively so I camp and I like it. if nothing else you needs guys like me camping to support your ability to rush making you that much more unstoppable.

Riot Shield w/motion sensor
Thermobatic nade
Canister bomb (but C4 or even reg nades work)
Panzerfaust

Danger close
Strong arm
reflex
extra tac

use on strikezone for max hilarity

I swap the Panzerfaust with the P226 Akimbo or with a Muzzle Brake. It was funny how I lost the game yet I was “trash” for using explosives despite having more caps than ANYBODY in the lobby. Also this class is pretty fun.

805-Grenade Launcher-Extended Mags
Panzerfaust
Ready Up 1
Amplify 2
Sleight of Hand 2
Danger Close 4

Not bad but i think for max trolling i woukd swap the AR for the chain saw w/launcher + ext mags
