God nothing but a mess tonight trying to play.

The mission to tag 50 players with Recon Drone isn't tracking for some reason.

So I switch to the one where I need like 25 ammo resupplies but NO ONE fucking uses the god damn things.

I must have dropped 40 ammo boxes tonight and i got 4 uses......jesus christ people

So not sure about SBMM but the game seems more easy to me now. I do face off against clans but still come out on top even if the team loses. And yes I've played clans on Azhir caves that camp the c point spawn (I hate games like that) Primarily play hc tdm and checking out the cod stat tracker site, I'm actually doing better than I thought. Seems like after completing the ribbon challenges and focusing on just playing the game greatly helped...also doesn't hurt that the MP5 is masterful, k/d should definitely hit 1.5 with 30k kills before the next season starts

haven't bought any camo packs yet, bought about 8 different camos on BF5. I think I'll hold out till the prices fall before purchasing any

Trust me, it isn't just you. It is the main reason I only stick to shoot house, it has the most consistent layout/design. Also, may I suggest smoke grenades? ...they aren't the perfect solution but definitely make taking Objectives solo slightly more manageable. But yeah, some maps have some wonky line of sight business or too many nooks/crannies to hide in. Not even gonna bother complaining about the spawn system and TTK...

What really blows my mind is how hard it is for fellow teammates to play Objectives, period. Even Kill Confirmed, folks will simply run PAST a tag. Intentionally. Unless I make it my mission to cap points, I feel like its a 50/50 chance of winning or losing.

Don't know what happened... How it played yesterday is why I turned my back on MW after a short time of playing after release. During the holidays I had a damn good time and played about 22 hours in just a few days. People were playing the objective, tried to hold flags, some campers and snipers here and there but nothing infuriating.
And yesterday the complete opposite. As you say... people run past tags and flags, my team is running aroundless mindless while the enemy team covers nearly every corner and has the advantage of every line of sight. Even when I tried to kill the enemy because I knew where they were... I wasn't even around the corner, boom, dead.

Hmm, with the announcement that we will be able to hopefully change blueprint attachments between weapons, does this mean I would be able to buy the pack with the blue tracer rounds and add this to any other weapon?

Also, I'm really interested as to what they are going to do with the second half of the season now all the content from the 'roadmap' has already been released and were just over half way through. I guess we'll find out next week.

Just got the game and is there a map that isn't complete garbage? On shipment i can literally stand in one spot and have 4-5 guys respawn in front of me before i'm found out.

Also, why was rainbow 6 vegas, which came out in 2006, the only shooter to get player customization right? Seeing 6 kruegers running around is very lame.

And Rainbow 6 Vegas is still the GOAT MP shooter after all these years. How I wish Ubi would do a 3rd one.

Couple of noob questions, sorry.

1 is it possible to do finishing moves when you have a gun equipped? Or do you need to specifically equip a combat knife or something?

2. Is it possible to leave on crossplay between consoles but not PC? I haven't looked at the options yet.

I love the idea of R6 Siege. I own the game and played for awhile. The problem I have is the shooting mechanics. The slow animation to ADS is really hard to deal with after playing games like COD, Destiny, and Apex. Once you're ADS'ing, it's fine but still not as snappy or precise as the aforementioned games.

I have every weapon max level except for the Dragunov and the EBR-14.

The Dragunov is absolute garbage and might be the most frustrating weapon grind out of every single one I've used. Mercifully it only has 36 weapon levels to go through.

If you are having trouble getting the killstreak in a normal match, grind it out in Ground War by using Pointman and sitting back in your HQ spawn near the ammo box and just shoot down UAVs and other killstreaks. Over the course of a match you can get enough points to call in a Juggernaut. Might not work every match but if you keep at it eventually you will get one. It's not particularly fun but if you just want the ribbon this is a surefire way to do it.

I know it's a very basic question, but what's a "good" gun to use? I'm not very good, so I don't need the best of the best I just want to make sure I'm not missing out on something significantly better.

I've been using the first or second assuakt rifle. Think it's an M4 something. I had an "xrk" legendary blueprint for it somehow (maybe twitch!?)

I'm not a huge run and gunner, I try to move from cover to cover and engage at medium distance. Panic shoot too much to use a sniper.

Yeah, that's the M4A1. Most used weapon in the game and many consider it the best. Personally I like the Kilo a bit more. Currently I play the M13 which also plays really nice.

I recommend spending a bit of time with several of the weapons and getting a feel for what you like. But if you're mainly interested in being instantly competitive, there is really no reason to use anything other than the M4A1 or the MP5. The two best weapons in the game from an all-around perspective.

TikeMyson1308 Orb thanks, that's all really useful to know!

I'm going to keep going with the M4 a bit and maybe the M5...I played blackout for awhile and found smgs a little too suited to run and gun hip firing...which is less my natural style but something I should practice.

The xrk blueprint I had seemed to give the weapon great stats straight away, so nearly everything I've unlocked so far has been a bit pointless. The only change I've made is a thermal scope as it lets me see enemies at a distance slightly better. Although fire confuses it so I might switch back to something else...

Been enjoying the MP so far,

I really hate when you feel like you got into a cover / around a wall and you die.

What are they using in terms of latency that makes this happen more times than I'd like?

I dunno, they're probably just fighting physics...they've got their server, your machine and the other players machine, all saying different things happened and telling each other that at different points in time.

Unscrambling all of that to decide what officially happened, and send it back to both machines, is always going to result in wall deaths etc.

To give a TL;DR since it's just going over the comments IW (specifically Joel Emslie) made on Reddit (though I don't have the links myself)

But basically:

  • IW is making plans to create a system for them to better communicate with people (video points out that they should just go back to their Infinite Warfare days of doing dev streams)
  • That attachment variant system that people discovered in the Beta is being worked on still. Will allow people to mix and match blueprints. (Really hope this lets me use tracer rounds on other SCAR variants)
  • More create-a-class is coming, they've already been testing and patching out the bugs. (Prestige does guess that it might have to do with the gunsmith system that somehow it would break things due to all the possible combinations.) Joel says that it might be coming in the next update. Doesn't mention if it will be paid or not, hopefully not.
  • Also notes that Joel has been more active on Reddit recently, which is good.

I've seen some incredible wall bangs in this game - don't trust any of the "cover" and focus on evading their pre-aim by sliding or jumping out of corners instead.

As to the latency - the more skilled players I've seen have kinda sent shots in the general direction of a player and lead their shots a bit with success. I don't know much about how this game's ballistic model works vs the old school CoD hitscan model. It kinda feels hitscan at short/medium range...would love to know more if anyone has details.

tl;dr unless you're shooting long range in Ground War, don't bother.

Side salt edit: people are hype for Battle Royale but if the GW/SO maps are truly the BR map too, then consider my hype deflated. Flat terrain with no cover except for huge buildings with a million rooms to sweep and way too much verticality. Imagine a final circle on one of Tavorsk's skyscrapers where one team is bottom floor and one team is rooftop. No thanks.

R6 Vegas 1 and 2 will never be matched with its level of customization. Truly ahead of its time.

They make this so damn difficult, it's not hard to communicate. They've done it before. At this point they're being purposely obtuse.

It sucks, but folks complained for years that Call of Duty was being ruined for casual players so pros could have a more balanced game. It wasn't true, but this game is a good example of the opposite: the pro experience neglected in favor of casuals.

I don't say that with malice for casual players, either. Call of Duty has never been an intensely "pro-oriented" game.
