Haha yeah I have tubes on 3 of my 5 classes for this prestige. It's too good for respawn modes to not use!
I'm missing it already - finished up playing last night with a nice eye strain headache trying to see opponents, 95% of whom were definitely camped - tall grass now very popular. Of course BO2 let you add a perk which stopped TF working on you, I used to use that too. In hardcore that one + recoil redux + quick aim + TF + faster speed during scope were a deadly combination. Add M27 for extreme accuracy too since damage output doesn't matter much in HC. Of course no space for grenades set up like that, but in HC they're just a liability anyway.
Those big open spaces in Ghosts, they may aswell not be there - you can't consider walking across one so it's this vast stretch of no mans land.

MSBS has been nerfed.

Edit: I wasn't even in this thread when I made my post. Weird.
I think they did it for competitive reasons since the MSBS AFAIK was banned from MLG and whatnot.

Any opinions on the best Marksman Rifle? I've been using the MR-28 with a silencer and ACOG for long range maps like Stonehaven and I like it, but I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on one that was better.

I think the Mr. 28 is the best Marksman rifle but for larger maps I use the M14, the extra range and damage is very beneficial.
It's weird that they mention recent updates for 360, PC and XBone but not for PS4 or PS3. http://community.callofduty.com/thread/200795177#.Uqp6L8G9LCR

I just got the game last night and played a few games - I played a TDM on Warhawk, two Domination games (Stormfront and Octane), and a Squads Blitz on Siege. I really like the game so far, much more than MW3 (I skipped BO2 due to COD fatigue). I've only played on four maps so far but I've enjoyed what I've played. I think the graphics are good, the netcode seems pretty decent (very little lag), and I haven't really encountered any bad spawns yet.
Weirdly I usually hate Domination in COD and play only TDM, but I found the TDM match I played to be pretty frustrating whereas I really enjoyed the Domination matches. I've been using the Honey Badger since I don't have many tokens, and I like it. I bought the MSBS with my tokens but I didn't really like it. Of course now I find out it got nerfed yesterday lol. Oh well. Also Squads is pretty fun! I threw it on because I didn't feel like playing against other players with all their camping and dropshotting, and I have to say it was pretty entertaining playing with other players against AI bots.
How do I join the GAF clan on 360? I know I was a member of the clan in MW3, but for some reason it hasn't put me in any clans on Ghosts.

Yeah that's annoying, I spent some of my precious tokens unlocking one for the range/accuracy combination.
As an aside, playing last night I was getting spawned in front of people constantly - very annoying! This absolutely should not happen on maps that big.

At first I really disliked squad points, but now I don't mind them as much. Although I do agree with you that unlocking things as you rank up was more satisfying, the squad points equalize the field a little more. For instance, Off the Grid doesn't unlock until WAY late into the level progression. So if you wanted to counter all SAT Coms you'd have to wait until you were ranked higher, and would be at a huge disadvantage to the higher ranked players you were paired against. Now, you save your Squad Points and can simply "buy" your invisibility instead of having to grind out levels. This means there is very little advantage to being ranked, say, 50 vs being ranked 10 - everyone is on an equal playing field as far as unlocks goes. And this seemed to have been their focus since there is only one prestige level, and it doesn't really help you in any material way to prestige.
I do wish, however, they did a better job showing your achievements in each match. Like, if I get a squad point for getting 100 silenced kills, show me that when the match is over! I'm not paying attention to my achievements during the game, I need a recap. And I shouldn't need to go to a separate screen after the match is over to see those achievements.

After approximately rank 35 of your first time ranking up, you'll have an abundance of squad points and will never have a shortage again. Now that I'm on 4th prestige, I have over 1,000 squad points and I've been spending them on dumb things as well.
It makes it so ranking up gives you nothing and makes it so you don't lose anything by prestiging. It gets rid of the fun of leveling up, but you can purchase any gun or attachment or anything whenever you want, which is somewhat cool.

(rewards accuracy)
its a burstfire weapon, it already rewarded accuracy. if you miss the first salvo you were probably going to die against the guy with 800 rpm automatic weapon with no recoil.
oh well.

You get one point every 3k XP you earn. They soon add up once you get a while into the game. At the start unless you know what you want to unlock they can be in short supply.
They did the same with the Type 95. It was a great gun that required accuracy and then nerfed it and it became practically useless.

There doesn't seem to be any change to the PS4 framerate issues. Still judders noticeably when looking through a scope on the larger maps
Yeah, I lol'd at that too.
They lowered burst delay
buuuut the multiplier kills it. It's essentially 3hk (short) 7hk (long) for moving targets and 3-5 for stationary targets. I'm guessing burst spread at long rang will end up forcing a lot of 6-7hk even with stationary targets though.
For those too lazy to do math: 1arm + chest at short range = 99 damage but I'm pretty sure you could have guessed that. lmao
IA-2 is the best IMO. It has very good 2HK range and great 1HK (headshot) range for most maps. The fire rate is slower than the MR-28 but you gain the ability to kill things at range which is very useful.
Mk14 is great if you have amazing accuracy (headshot 1HK range is huge) but it fires too slow IMO which leaves you very vulnerable in close/mid range.
MR-28 is fun to spam though.....

I love the sound of the IA2 but I find that it does not fire as fast as the M14, even though the stats indicate the opposite. I read that these things can be different depending on your platform[I'm on PS4]. What system you playing on?
There's a thread for the clan, I think you must PM one of the captains or whatever. Or try applying through the mobil app, that's what I did.
Make sure you don't spam it as fast as you can with the MR-28. You'll skip a lot of shots and end up firing very slowly. The IA-2 is 550 RPM compared to 600 from the MR-28.
I play on 360

Thanks for the tips guys. I've having decent success with the MK14 silenced with an ACOG, gonna try the IA2 next.

We wouldn't want anyone to be without that perk. You can't even play the game without that perk. At least that's the impression I get from kill cams. Everybody get their off the grid going, pick your favorite silenced weapon, and let's do this! That is Call of Duty!*

This game is a nightmare for rushers. The ied camping is out of control. Every lobby most of the people just camp like a mofo. I really wanna like this game but the community ruins it for me.

This game is so damn blurry on 360 so I was thinking about getting the Xbone version. (still haven't got mine in from Mtn Dew yet, hopefully I get a shipping notice soon) but all my friends are still on 360 so I was wondering, I know it can detect your 360 stats so you can go back and forth between the platforms correct? Like if I want to play with my friends I go play on 360 and then all my stats are still going to Xbone when I play that and so forth? I wanted PS4 version but stats don't transfer from 360 to that.
That's just hyperbole. I don't have the perk and I play the game just fine.

Just a quick question... my Dad has a set of Turtle Beaches that he originally got for the PS3. He got a PS4 last week and upgraded via the 10 dollar digital offer. He can't use the Turtle Beaches now. Is he doing something wrong? I was reading that you can buy a cable that allows the sets to function on a PS4 rather than buying a whole other pair. Anyone know what the issue is? I'd imagine you either need to pay for the cable or get a whole new pair?
EDIT: Also, do you need to re-pay for the season pass?

The turtles will still work for the game audio, just not chat. Either plug in the optical cable to the back of the PS4, or if you have a cheaper pair, plug in the red/white cables into the back of your television. The cable you're reading about won't be out until mid 2014 according to some articles I've read in the past. Whenever it does come out, it will be an easy $2 fix to get chat audio as well on the new generation.
And the season pass goes back and forth between systems. You don't have to worry about that.
The more I play it, the less I like this one. It's just horrible with the exception of one or two maps. It's like a mexican standoff with camping - first to get bored and actually move, dies. It's impossible to see distant campers due to the long distances and abundance of scenery to hide in, which basically puts every open area off limits because you know someone *is* watching over it.
I wish I hadn't just bought NFS, I think this one is getting traded soon - possibly for Knack simply because it's the only game I'm sort of interested in that I haven't played yet. It's just making me angry, and I don't play games to be angry, I want to have fun.
This isn't fun. It's tedious and frustrating in equal measures. BO2 was immeasurably more fun.

I've been using the ia2. I use the default scope with a silencer and bullet penetration. Ever since I started using it my kd went from maybe 1.3 to 2.7.
I mostly play domination. I know it's different for everyone but if I'm using a marksman or sniper loadout, I have to use the amplify perk. I can't imagine playing without it. There's been many times where I'm scoped in on a doorway knowing the other team is about to rush in and then I hear THUD THUD THUD coming from behind. As far as my class setup for the Ia2, I use:
Takedown
Wiretap
Amplify
Ping
Focus
Hasn't been working for me either. Checked the cod forums and other people are saying
the same thing. I don't think I've even seen anyone using it (ps4 version)

I'm getting pretty tired of playing my favorite mode, Domination, and people not capping. It pisses me off so bad. I mean, why the fuck play at all? Someone being that one person can be all it takes to lose or win a game. It only makes sense to contribute somehow. At least watch a capped point. But no, most of the people I'm talking about will literally run away from an uncapped point if they spawn near it, or just walk by it.
If I spot someone with zero captures and I have 3-5, I'll just follow him and try to get him killed the rest of the game. I don't care about KDR, I try to win games. It's much better satisfaction to cap and THEN defend than to contribute to my team losing just by sitting in one spot doing nothing. So if I know we're going to lose (if you're losing by 40 points, it's likely you're going to lose, plain and simple), I just do all I can to get that guy that's 40-5 with no caps get the most deaths possible for the rest of the game. Yeah, it's a douche thing to do, but it's worse when he ain't doing anything but keeping his KDR at unreasonably high levels.

This fucking game. I'm starting to hate it now. The community has picked up on the overpowered and ridiculous shit and that is ALL THEY USE EVER.
Ugh.
Not to mention this game looks embarrassingly bad on the PS4. Did you even try, IW? It looks barely better than the 360 version. I'd be afraid to see how bad the Xbone version looks at a lower resolution.
Also, here's an idea, asshats - if the Christmas and wolf shit isn't available on PS4 yet, STOP displaying a big green ! next to create-a-class. Ffs.

Squads is totally saving this game for me. I'm only level 8 as I haven't been playing it very long but there is little to no frustration when playing squads since the AI doesn't camp or do any of the annoying dumb shit that people do. Plus the AI is actually relatively good and feels more human than the bots in blops ever did.

It definitely does look better on the xbox one/ps4 vs. 360/ps3, but when I put the brightness setting on the highest setting on xbox 360, it looks normal to me because I'm used to playing games on highest brightness, but when I put brightness on the highest setting on xbox one, it is still way too dark for me. It feels like it's still on the default setting and messing around with the brightness does nothing :/
You can download it for the PS3 version, but doesn't do shit either, it keeps telling you to download them from the store. Has been like that for days...
Yeah, if you are a rusher, you almost have to run Site Rep. On top of that most of the SMGs just don't do enough damage except the Vector. On the plus side the shotguns seem to work pretty well on the few smaller maps there is.

I've been using more "silenced" classes lately and have been having MUCH more success. Although I've only played about 30 matches since switching, I've had a KDR closer to 2:1 vs 0.5:1 previously (TDM and KC). I run a silencer on all my classes, Off the Grid, Dead Silence (this is a must, not only am I quiet but now I can hear others stomping around) and I just recently added Stalker which really makes those CQBs much easier for me to win as I can strafe quickly while ADSing. Although occasionally this game can piss me off with some crappy spawn or laggy connection overall I'm having a fun time with it again.

Much better than regular multiplayer, IMHO.
