On several occasions i have been able to boost myself over my opponent and land on the other side of him and kill him. Other times i turn around a corner with an opponent following me than boost on top of the platform and surprise him from up top. I also use the exo shield quite frequently. As soon as an opponent shoots activate the shield, when his clip runs out drop the shield and kill him. There are way more strategies and options with the abilities if you use them the way they should be used.

Think Uplink is my new jam, foreal.
Nothing is more satisfying than throwing the ball at the enemy and killing them, only to go on and score. So good.
Some also come with an extra attachment. For example, a gun might have a silencer equipped that doesn't affect the range stat or a SMG might have a grenade launcher.
They're kind of like the exotic guns in Destiny.
Yes, you keep all the loot guns. They unlock again at the same level as the standard versions.

Love the game, but for me the spawns are horrible. I play mostly kill confirmed and tdm and nothing is more annoying than spawn, die.
I'm on XB1 and the connections have been shitty, they're still on P2P. Why?.

I've watched every campaign out of boredom days before release because I can't contain myself.
Picking up the AC Unity bundle and this game Saturday. Hope I can hold out and experience this fresh.
Is there a list of all MP maps?

Weird that so many have problems with the respawns, i play only TDM, level 46 and even tho it's clear you respawn close to your killer far too many times, as the killer you have enough room to prevent being killed by your last prey. I don't think i've been killed immediately after respawning either.

I dunno if it's high demand of the servers or poor netcode but the multiplayer performance is fucking GARBAGE in PS3, one minute everything is fine but the next is a slideshow that you can barely control, it's shit and i really hope it's a launch thing. Also i played a round of BF4 on the PS3 and then AW and the difference is night and day, BF4 is so smooth those dedicated servers do make a difference.
So just beat the game and overall was impressed but had a few problems/ questions
1) After atlas announced they are pretty much evil why did all those soldiers stay dedicated to the army? I mean if the army is destroying u.s.a and wouldn't some of the soldier rebel and start attacking their own like the gideon ?
Also the ending was kinda anti-climatic I was disappointing with it a bit. And lastly what does the ending infer? Is there going to be a sequel you think?
Overall I would give it an 8/10 it was good but had a few flaws and plot issues

Just rented on the Xbox One, and I'm installing it now. At what percentage of the installation can you start playing?
Did you customize your killstreaks? It makes them cost more
And just because someone failed at spoiler tags the ending was ruined
Thanks
Btw fixed your spoiler tags

I did but ONLY to enable the ability to earn the streak even if I die. With the game being SO crazy, it's borderline impossible to get 8 straight kills. I just wish they toned down the cost a bit so we can get some KS variety.

I think it's 26%, but don't use the "ready to play" feature because it will force you to install the patch and that will really slow or pause the install. It's a known issue that many users had a problem with. Wait for it to fully install, install the patch and then play.

I really don't like TDM and Kill Confirmed in this game. The maps are just too big to not have an objective focus. I can go over a minute in a round of TDM without seeing an enemy.
Holy hell spoiler that shiz. I didn't read it, but you effed up.
EDIT: OK you spoiled it.
Damn straight
Ok well that cost you an additional 600 points before you can use it
Wait, what? Doesn't that ability add the cost by like +300 points? That's probably why,,, I only need 3-4 kills to get UAV.

Got it for PS4 and just played the intro mission. Thoughts:
-Nice looking game, but some of the comparisons I saw to KZSF were totally out to lunch, it's not at that level, or even Metro Redux. Definitely a step up from Ghosts however, and the fact it's running at 60fps mostly does make it more impressive
-Gunplay is tight, as expected. Smooth gameplay and using the exo suit feels very natural. The dodges are a nice touch
- Presentation issues - the animations seem really weird/wonky, and the lip syncing seems off. Also it's really weird seeing a detailed face like Kevin Spacey with almost no expression. He's just staring blankly at me while he talks....kind of creepy to be honest
Can't speak for the story yet since I haven't played enough. Also I was seeing a ton of stutter and brief hitches in that opening level but I'm not sure if the game is still installing from my disc, had the same issue with Shadow of Mordor and it went away once it was fully installed.
Anyways, enjoying it so far and curious to see where it goes. May jump into MP a bit later even though I've never been big on the COD MP

Can I earn player customization items from exo survival? Or is that stuff only from PvP?

So there are about 2.2 million players in the first 2 days just on XB1/PS4. What are the other leaderboards looking like? (360, PS3, PC) It seems like there would have to be at least 3-3.5 million in the first two days including other platforms.

Wish the single-player performed as well as the multi.
Had an instance of single frame shootouts.

The lag is far more of a problem on x1 at the moment, so much for that cloud power. I don't know if texture pop in is the connection or the game but you notice it when you first spawn
X1 controller is made for this game, but the ps4 controller for this game is above average at least, once I add those x1 sticks to it, should increase my productivity on those maps
Even though the x1 version is not as nice to look at and has multiple issues to me, I still went season pass on there over the ps4

Do you know if there was a similar issue with dedis not working the first couple days, or were they there right from day 1?
True, can someone add the ps3 & 360 leaderboard user totals please.

Survival gives you Zombie gear(1 piece at a time).
Campaign gave me a gun and Atlas gear so far(completing an Exo upgrade slot gives you a gear item).

I do not really play MP these days. Truth be told my reflexes and response time are just not what they used to be. The rare times i do check it out i get my ass handed to me.
Well AW is no different, after playing 2 matches i wound up with a KD ratio of. 67, but I have to say i did have fun checking it out. I will check it out again.

With Exo abilities I find that hard to believe, unless everyone is camping.

Ok thanks.
I'm real disappointed almost all that stuff is locked off to me, I play against bots all the time in private matches or offline and it looks like there's no way to earn 90% of the stuff in this game that way.
First couple days of ghost had matchmaking issues. Once you got into a match you were fine. This is the exact opposite...easy matchmaking utter shit when in a match

Yeah, campaign probably has a lot more than the basic set I got.
Intel and Veteran probably unlock stuff.

It's the way that it is. Even watching youtube videos of people playing TDM they just run around barely seeing the enemy.

Went 60-24 in a match of momentum earlier. Feels good.
Feel like I'm finally starting to get my groove.

Hmm yeah you may be right. I was planning on trying to get all the Intel anyway at some point.
I've said it before but I really hope Treyarch doesn't do Black Ops 3 after this. The exo-skeleton is a big change but everything else - guns, killstreaks, maps, all of it has that futuristic vibe to it which was also present in Black Ops 2. I love sci-fi but at this point I'd be thrilled if we got to see COD return to WW2. I think it's been long enough.
My favourite setup is the AK12 with the kick grip and fast ADS grip w/ silencer. It's damn good for hardcore, thing has great stopping power and it's a laser.
