Yeah. Weird as it was a series staple but I guess we'll have to get used to it.
Are you sure? I wasn't able to sprint cancel even without fast hands.

Fast hands also gives you dexterity, but yeah, you can never reload cancel from sprints.

Pre-ordered it yesterday at Best Buy to get in the beta, have to wait 72 hours to get the code...Wonder if Activision would float me one through support if I tell them I don't want to wait to play.
Might as well give it a try

It's the best hit detection in any CoD game lol
Yeah, I use these. Well, didn't try that bottom one under the bridge by a.
When people suck they always pull out the poor hit detection card lol
I suck big time myself because I haven't played CoD since MW2, but I only blame myself, not the game.

I dont suck at the game... But unlike you guys i notice things like host advantage etc... people eating more than me etc...
Netcode is still trash.

I play on 3Mbps DSL... so yeah.
So where does the game show who is the host in a match? If it doesn't show it, you're just guessing. People eating more than you, the players on the other end sees exactly the same perception of disadvantage as you. It's unavoidable in a P2P shooter.

No one likes to blame themselves
But yeah, AW had really bad hit detection when it came to boost jumping and all that. This feels like it registers hit much much better than any other CoD. Based Treyarch.
Yehhhhh this still plays like cod with a tiny bit of wallrunning thrown in.
Titanfall still trounces it in the mobility department.
Just played two games and was running into people camping round corners and waiting down sight lines, it's still CoD through and through. Dunno why I thought the added mobility would change how people played, it actually did for a while on AW.

The hit detection isn't trash though. I had a big problem with Black Ops1 hit detection when it came out, but this is alright. The lag though plays a big factor into it and when your not getting lag spikes it runs pretty smoothly.
Last night I was getting massive lag spikes and it was just an unplayable mess. Don't know if there is a host though as there is never host migration. I thought this was supposed to be on dedicated servers? My ping is generally 30 or below.
What do people do if the game actually has bad hit detection?

Yeah, the netcode is still really bad even after all of these years, doesn't even feel tweeked from Black Ops 2; all of the little quirks with hit registration and issues in general I experienced are exactly the same between Blops 2 and 3. Seems like Sledghammer is the only one of the three developers to actually put out some decent netcode, too bad Ghosts sucked though.

Regular COD players can easily tell when its lagging, it shows itself when rounding corners or bopping in and out of cover.
When you are shot and in cover, the enemy guy is lagging and still shooting you in the open.
Its lag and its shit, and has been a problem that has got worse with COD and its lack of local matchmaking / low ping lobbies and p2p.

sticks and stones is gonna be good
This game clearly has bad hit detection at times and that's a fact.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
I think my favorite specs are war machine and gravity spikes.
Still they're all fun to play.
I haven't played cod since 4 so custom kill streaks has me going a little nuts.
Right now I'm rocking HDXC, Dart and Talon.
Overclocked, fast hands and awareness for perks.
ARK-7 with FMJ, Grip and dotsight. And rocket launcher for UAVs lol
Love all the gadgetry though. So cool.
I'm liking the "chemistry" between the specs.
War machine and Ruin are buddies. Ruin hates Prophet apparently, etc.
Would love it if they went the Bad Company 2 route for the campaign.

To be perfectly honest, this is the first time in a while I have had fun in a multiplayer console shooter. Advanced Warfare was interesting and fast, but man it was sweaty (stupid skill-based matchmaking).
What are some of your guy's favorite specialist abilities, conversely, which ones do you hate, and which one needs to be buffed?
My favorite specialist ability is Prophet's Glitch. It has saved me so many times and it's just stupid fun. I hate the Battery's War Machine because it is much easier to kill with than the other "instakill" specialists. I think the Battery's Kinetic Armor needs to be buffed, personally it's not even close to the defense of a ballistic vest in MW3.

The map with the mini tank on the center (combine I think) needs a re design in dominion, when you are on C there is no way you can proper move to B without being spawn trapped from A

we titanfall now
Makes me wonder what the BETA is going to be like by the time One owners get to it. I feel like a lot of us are watching and trying to figure things out by watching you guys first.
It'll be interesting.
No, seriously. I hate overpowered things, and from my experience that's the only overpowered weapon I've seen (I don't think the Razorback is OP). I can almost never kill someone using an M8A7, it's superior in practically every way, heck it instantly kills you. It feels like it only needs two of the four bullets for you today. I can't kill a wielder of an M8 nor can I survive one, EVER. I hate it.

After i figured this stuff out ingame Evac went from the worst to my favourite map in the beta. Those wall runs on the side in CTF are so good.
Bullshit. For all the crap that Ghosts get, no one can deny that that is without a doubt the best as far as this aspect goes. Let's give credit where credit is due.
BO3 is an improvement over the abysmal netcode and hit detection from BO2 and BO1, though, yeah.

The main reasons I stopped playing cod.
Local matchmaking in shooters should be standard ffs.

From my experience it definitely feels like P2P, at least not full dedis in the sense of Titanfall/Battlefield/Halo 5.

Nope. It's definitely not, it feels the exact same as the CoDs before it wrt lag

Goddamn the vesper has such an unholy rate of fire. I'm not sure if it's good (though it has been working well for me), but it sure is silly.
Combine sucks, especially in domination. That b placement is disgusting.
So did Nuketown on domination, but it was still heralded as the best.

I got a "Host Migration" screen after I left a match last night, so probably the hybrid dedis that Ghosts and AW run on.
