Unequipped the abilities right away. Noticed I never really used them cause they're so short-lived. They feel useless.

Anyway, I am having a hell of a lot more fun right now with laser sighted SAC3s than I ever had with the ARs. I'm not necessarily doing any better but it's just a lot more fun. Maybe I will get more out of this game after all than I initially thought.

I like the cloak, the speed boost and the stim. Haven't unlocked others yet.

The exo movement is so good in this, just hella fun.

Btw has anyone found a way yet to disable "double tap to dodge"?

Edit: Also WTF at the TAC 19 shotgun. I was all "oh it's a starting shotgun ok" then i fired it and it's basically a fucking shockwave cannon??? seriously awesome.

Reposting for a new page. Hopefully someone knows how to fix this.

This might have been asked/answered - Is there any way to make that annoying "Chat is set to Prioritize Party" notification on PS4 to stop popping up? It is driving me crazy.

Okay, so why is the font that displays when people are talking on mic so huge and in the middle of the screen? (PS4)

Also, why isn't there a notification for attachment unlocks? I had no idea I'd unlocked loads of sights and stuff for my gun until I went to Create a Class. The "items" tab in the post game screen is always greyed out too. What's the deal?

Anyone? Particularly the notifications thing. Really annoying.

Nope. Took mine off as well. I think they are more trouble than they are worth, especially since some of them have a little delay in activation. I'd rather spend the points elsewhere.

Oh daaaamn, 41-21 and first place on Ground War domination with the SAC3s. Yeah, never gonna go back to assault rifles again. I have to stick to close quarters with these but it supports the more traditional CoD gameplay which I like more anyway so yeah, really liking these. Add scavenger and I can just quick reload after every enemy and never run out of ammo.

You get a unlock coin thing or something when you prestige, right? So I won't lose these when I reach 50 and prestige.

Has anyone received word about the double tap reload thing? Removing all the clips from my round is so frustrating, i obviously must press the button a couple of times in the heat of battle, and end up running out of ammo.

I've found the run speed one to be pretty useful on an SMG run and gun class, or shotgun class. But other than that they all seem pretty useless.

I made a comparison video between normal and quick reloading since it was hard to get a sense of how much time you saved for some weapons.

Shield is amazing in Kill Confirmed. Just casually walk out, grab the tags, and walk backwards.

Looking for something to play competitive MP on PS4, Destiny is getting stale.

How does this compare? I haven't liked a CoD game in a long time, not a fan of the Black Ops series.

it seems prestiging seems a lot easier than COD Ghosts... granted theres 15 levels instead of 10, and im sure double XP has helped...

But then again, even with Double XP in ghosts... it took me a while to prestige... a whole weekend I may have came close..

Here is my kill/death ratio since Call of Duty 4.

Call of Duty 4 - 2.01kdr

Call of Duty WaW - 2.6kdr

Modern Warfare 2 - 2.05kdr

Black Ops - 2.0kdr

Modern Warfare 3 - 3.10kdr

Black Ops II - 2.3kdr

Ghosts - 2.01kdr

..........

Advanced Warfare - 1.33kdr and dropping

I struggle to get any sort of rhythm going in this game because of the constant lag and enemies consistently spawning behind me.

I just dont understand what i'm doing wrong :/
Click to expand...

The game just came out :/ You don't know the maps that well. You don't know what perk setups you're gonna want just yet. You don't know the guns, etc, etc.

It's like this in every COD game for me. Start out slow but once I get adjusted I do much better. My K/D is 1.3ish right now too.

One of the best features is muting everybody every round. Since that fucker thinks I probably want to hear the new people that came into the game.

Waaay better than Destiny.

It's kind of hard to compare to other CoDs, MP plays very differently due to Exo movement stuff. Some have compared it to Blops, but I wouldn't. IMO the only similarity is in the customization system, AW uses the "pick 10" system but with 13 instead of ten.

How do you mute everyone at once? I know you can do it with the square button to individuals.

If you double tap reload, you reload quicker but lose the rest of the bullets in the magazine.

Once you're ingame, in the mute menu, you can hit triangle/Y to pull up another menu to mute all.

Other than having 15 prestige levels, is there anything 'new' to the prestige mode?

I like that Titanfall tried to mix it up with:

- Accelerated ranking up at each prestige level (makes it less of a grind)
- Challenges to coincide with the ranking (some hit and miss)

Basically, I hate the fact you effectively 'reset' completely and have to grind the same game to unlock the same weapons.

It looks like you always throw away ammo if you reload right after a gunfight, even if you only press button once. Or maybe it triggers quick reload when you're hurt and your screen is blinking red.
I tried to do "proper" reloads yesterday with AK and just couldn't, had to wait like 10 seconds after each fight, which doesn't really work with this game's speed.

Might of been asked but how do you unlock supply drops? Is it entirely randomly? Or do they unlock through challenges? I've only got 2 and I got those from dying lol

Why no player numbers? I used to like being able to see how many people were playing and how many were in each playlist. What's the deal?

The problem with Titanfall was that it got old before you'd even hit the first prestige, thus negating any of those forementioned improvments. The player counts represent that.

Thinking of picking this up today. Are Xbone and PS4 versions pretty much identical besides resolution?
Click to expand...

I picked up X1 version over PS4. The game looks and runs awesome. Few minor things differentiate the two. Check the other CoD thread. If not do what I did and just say fuck it.

Newt portion, can I shareplay this? Like I buy the game, then shareplay and my buddy can play online with me?
Click to expand...

That, I am not sure. I believe you can, from what I have seen/read if it does shareplay the other party takes a graphic hit.. I think their cap is at 720P? Correct me if I am wrong.

Doesn't change the fact that prestiging in that game was a lot more interesting than it has ever been in CoD. Really liked the XP multiplier especially.

they really need to patch in an alt control scheme that doesn't force you to click in a thumb stick every 2 seconds to juke/boost around the map (which is necessary to play well). i've been playing games since Gameboy and my left thumb has never hurt this severely.

That isn't really what I was getting at, it was more of making COD less of a grind.

My suggestion would be, at the first prestige level, you 'unlock' the ability to buy your upgrades (like BLOPs) instead of having to hit certain ranks to unlock them. Even something as simple as that would make a difference for me personally.

With most COD's I tend to hit top level, unlock everything, and then not prestige at all because I see no value in doing it (other than re-setting all the hours I have put in, to do exactly the same again.
