16 hours later, still can't connect to the fucking game. 36 hours since launch. This is fucking bullshit.

Here's three words to remind you of MW2's speed

Marathon

Lightweight

Commando

If I ever ended up in a lobby where everyone used those perks and moved around, it would be great. But having a game like that is like finding a unicorn. All running those perks does is get you killed by the campers even more often because you get in their crosshairs faster.

MW2 has the same problems that this game does in the sense that rushers are punished way too much and campers are rewarded way too much. Huge over-complicated maps with tons of dark corners and high places, extremely fast time-to-kill (and no Juggernaut to counter Stopping Power unlike CoD4), shitty spawns, slow handling stats like ADS and sprint-out time, all of it. Then you throw in utter bullshit like uncounterable noobtubes that you can replenish without even needing to leave your camping spot with One Man Army... MW2 was one of slowest, campiest, most unfun CoD games ever.

Only Ghosts and (so far) this current game are worse to me, because at least MW2's maps had decent flow to them that made the very rare games when there were few campers really fun. But again, lobbies like that happen only once in a blue moon. It's a camper's paradise 95% of the time.

Well they did say they wanted a more realistic COD game this time around. And in real life it makes sense that someone waiting around inside a house would get the drop on someone rushing in. Moving cover to cover would also be fair since being out in the open would get you wrecked.

Also Dr. Disrespect is having a fine time melting people with his p90. Lol

I did for a long time, and the number of lobbies that were not infested and slowed down by several campers were few and far between.

It would be nice if you could get me tickets to go to that magical imagination land where people played MW2 and actually moved around the map instead of setting up shop on a rooftop, or in a window, or in a dark corner, or on the edge of the map in Wasteland, or on top of the plane in Terminal, or on top of the cranes in Highrise, or on top of the junk pile in Rust... but to me, a MW2 like that is a fantasy. A fabrication. A myth. It doesn't exist.

I sure as hell didn't ask for that. I'd rather play a jetpack CoD again than play a slow, boring, campfest. Realism doesn't mean fun to me, and in cases like this where the realism makes the games less fun, fuck realism.

What the fuck are you talking about?

I ran those 3 perks in MW2 and crushed people regularly. No I wasn't getting 25 kill streaks, but I don't remember ever really sitting on the lower end if a team.

I'd try other stuff,and always end up back with those 3.

I'm so fucking bad at this game

I do think the time to go from sprinting to aiming is too long combined with the insanely short time to kill though

Does the game run fine on Xbone S

Finally got it working last. Downloaded the newest update for my VPN (came out yesterday) and it worked first try.

Townhouse and Embassy were fucking awesome. Embassy reminded me of 13 Hours.

They really need to tone down the footsteps sounds + move dead silence back to being a perk

I really like dead silence as an operator ability or whatever. it recharges super quickly, ups run speed and rewards you for using it well. Ive been running it since I unlocked it without any real desire to switch it up.
---

Dead Silence got buffed/fixed in the latest patch, so stealth (and moving around in general) is a little more viable. Game's still too camper-friendly though.

My hype was in the negatives and then I saw post #101 as the first one in this topic

Lmao

I agree I enjoy it too, but I watch killcams of people that kill me with DS on and it doesn't even silence the footsteps that much. It's kind of a broken ability that doesn't work right unless they buff the silence, or nerf footstep sounds in general.

That got changed in the most recent patch.

Global footstep volume definitely needs to be lowered though, since you can't keep Dead Silence active forever.

Is spec ops hard? I wanna try it to kinda avoid the BS of MP for a bit but I don't wanna be such a burden to the team <__<

I'd really rather they just make dead silence a perk

It depends on what category they would put it in. If they make it a perk 1 or 2, then fuck that because I really need EOD (for surviving claymores/mines) and Ghost (to stay off the tons of Personal Radars and UAV's that go up) to function in this game. If they make it a perk 3, then I'd use it. Battle Hardened is my go-to choice in that category, but I've been getting stunned/flashed a lot less in this game than in past games.
---

Yeah, I'd put it in perk 3 for sure.

I hope not, EOD/Ghost is already strong, giving them silent footsteps means they can survive forever.

It would make a good hard counter to people camping constantly

But campers don't benefit from Dead Silence making their footsteps quieter because they don't ever move!

Yeah its tough. Theres the main spec ops that ties into the campaign story with a few missions on humongous maps. They absolutely require teamwork.
Theres survival mode which is pretty much like MW3 but not as fun.
Then theres classic special ops which i dont know wtf it is.

The first one is really fun though imo.
