How the hell are people getting so many customization options? I just get the stupid bloody helmet over and over and over.
After fixing my lag issues (for the most part, never perfect), shotguns feel a bit more viable.
You can wave dash! You can’t maintain it, but when being shot at from behind, with the shitty ass CQC - its pretty useful… dash/slide forward xx into double jump to break end of animation, then as soon as you leave the ground, dash forward. It’s not game breaking and you can’t do it forever, but when trying to get first kill/position or running away, its pretty nice
The spawns have drained a lot of interest out of the game. The game is too much kill, then die from behind, then spawn and die within ten seconds simply because you spawned 20’ from someone.
Riot shield feels smaller than MW2, I die hella easy - or maybe folks are just ‘that’ used to it now. I was doing the shotgun turtle thing.
I think the spawns seem even more bad than ever cause the game is having trouble spawning you when everyone is boosting all over the map to position themselves. many times I have been boosting all over and I get everyone spawning being, next to me and enemies in front of me. I don’t get who however is complaining about camping. I can’t camp or hide for more than 5 sec without someone dashing around the map and somehow finds me even though I didn’t use any EXO movements. It somewhat saddens me that I cannot camp and hold one spot. I just wish there was an indicator to show me how much I can Dash, double jump around before having to wait for it to “recharge”
The blood helmet comes from getting a bloodthirsty(5 killstreak) and expires after 30 minutes unless you get a 5 killstreak again.
So basically always.
There are other temp unlocks that you have to try to maintain, the one shot goggles for getting 5 one shot kill in a game(so always if you’re using a shotgun or sniper), the Red Baron cap for getting a dog fight medal(killing an enemy in the air while you are also in the air), the headhunter helmet(get 5 head shots in a match) which looks cool as all hell, and the rest of the bloody set(for getting a 10 killstreak, 15 killstreak, and 25 if i’m not mistaken).
Kind of dumb but kind of fun.
You get more permanent customization options from supply drop crates, as well as weapon variants.
Feels so fucking good swerving on fools with the boost strafe online using the SAC3.
I didn’t take advantage of it till I prestiged for the first time, but now it’s been saving my life a whole lot.
I highly recommend using it often, really messes with people and the auto-aim.
It’s a whole part of the game most people seem to over look, which is a shame because it’s actually really good.
Personally I’ve never been a fan of audible footsteps. In a competitive scenario sure, go ahead and use whatever you need to your advantage. However in regular public matches not everyone has the luxury of headsets, whether it be the cost or you’re talking with friends. I never even knew how good having a headset was until I hooked up my Siberia V2s and used Amplify and Dead Silence in Ghost. It’s obscene how good it is, it’s like if your opponents isn’t using Dead Silence they’re fucked.
Played some more AW today. The classic modes are real fun, since the speed of regular play is too much for me. However, some of these weapons are just straight trash. The MK14, Lynx, Atlas pistol…I’m curious as to what their reasoning is for reducing the damage on most of the semi-autos.
BO1 had audible footsteps, BO2 barely. BO2 was part of the anticamping agenda that pretty much swept over the COD games. Audible footsteps would be good for this game. Need to bring back that mw1/2 strategy to cod.
If anything audible footsteps cause more camping. How would it cause less camping??? You move you nake noise orhers move they make noise. So you sit in a corner and wait to hear the footsteps of some poor bloke to come around that corner… Audible footsteps should be reserved for competitive play. Pubs should be fast and crazy people moving around at least a fair amount.
I didn’t say it would cause less camping. I don’t care if people camp, I’d like the game to have more varied strategic gameplay like mw1/2. You can’t hold a spot without getting shot in the back.
Thats because of the spawns you keep gettig shot from all over. Most tye time you can hear ppl boosting anyways. People will boost/ double jump off spawn 90% of the time. It really is rare that a player will actually flank you. Most the time its spawns and the camping is already bad enough wit everyone paranoid of the spawns. They need to make the spawns better somehow i dont really know how but it has to happen. Blops 2 spawns were spot on top tier. That live for 10 seconds minimum philosophy is smart they need to find a way to get that going again. Players always bitch about maps being too big, dare i say it. The maps may be too small for once… The game is just to fast and people are getting across the map to quick specially if one team is way stronger than the other.
