Maybe the gun is full auto like a machine pistol? So far we only have the Hornet and that's a classic weapon.

Well there's the Oni, but that has the weird (but cool) accelerated fire mechanic.


Edit: Someone on Reddit found the gun's real-world inspiration.

It's an SMG conversion for a glock. I'm betting it'll still be classified as a handgun in IW though.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the Oni for some reason. >.>

Still waiting on the possibility of the Ameli and ACR being added as classic weapons. I guess if they add more prestiges it might happen.
 
Is it just me or is lag much worse lately? I mean every game now there are players going 45-3, and when I watch them play, they don't seem to be doing anything special other than just ALWAYS getting a half second beat on their killcams.
 
Seems likely we will be getting the 'real' quartermaster update today. Wish they would have made that clear. Would have saved my keys...

Anyway, I hope they release the ACR as a Classic Gun today as well. I'm about to prestige and get my 2nd Classic Token (bit the bullet and bought the MacTav, so much fun!) and would love to use that beauty again.

Out of all the datamined things, It's been in the files for a while now.

I am about to hit my first prestige. Is that how the classic weapon token unlock works? I am able to permanently unlock a classic weapon and keep it in my rotation?

.. Side question along the same lines, these classic weapons could also be available in supply drops, correct?

Every odd prestige is a Classic Weapon token and every even prestige is a new loadout slot.

You don't have to use the Classic Weapon Token the instant you get it (I didn't use mine till Prestige 2), but yes, the weapon does stay unlocked even after prestiging again.

Should be noted that the OSA, while considered a classic weapon, is unlocked at 55, but that is permanent. You do keep the OSA even without a token.

Also I suppose new classic weapons could be in loot boxes but we have no idea since they have yet to add any. Personally, I sort of doubt it? Cause we know they're no doubt going to add more prestige levels and thus more Classic Weapon tokens.
 
Quarter Master MK2 Bribe out right now.

Cost: 60 Keys, Purchase Limit 5.

It's 'dupe-protected', so you can only get something you don't own. Personally I wouldn't spend my Keys on it but I can imagine the people who have managed to amass a decent amount of MK2 might do it to try and get Epics. Seems like it's also a 'rare' supply drop so you don't get common MK2s.

Also no other stuff added yet. Double XP still not up as of this post and there's none of the datamined Scorestreak variants or new variant/pistol yet.
 
I could see myself buying one or two of those bribes. I'm already starting to max out most of my weapons in terms of levels with the exception of the snipers and secondaries, so MKII weapons to level up faster is something I will start leaning on in later prestiges.

Thanks man. I definitely want to get a classic SMG.
 
Anyone else feel like they lowered the range needed for long shots in this last patch? I was getting long shots shooting people from between the two buildings over looking the B flag on Throwback. I don't think you got that before.
 
Having lots of fun with Mayhem TDM. Also discovered how powerful the RC8 can be not only at taking out random enemies, but scorestreaks as well. :3

I can't even try the AP3X yet cause I'm not at a high enough level on my current prestige.
 
Mayhem helped me get a couple straggling score-streak challenges. As far as I can tell, the one that asks you to get triple kills with an aerial score-streak doesn't count the THOR or AP-3X. It's kind of fun to find an incoming RC-8 and tag it with all three bombardment markers though. Terminated.

If any of you are trying to get AP-3X kills, use jammer grenades.

More info has been datamined about the new weapons, called the RV-N (Assault Rifle) and UDM (Pistol).

https://www.reddit.com/r/Infinitewa...mined_hidden_unreleased_weapons_and_variants/
Click to expand...

Curious that they made another energy assault rifle with an akimbo function. I wonder if the akimbo will be smgs/machine pistols again too, or something else.

Also that Sniper-pistol conversion for the UDM sounds like a retread of the Oni Kaiken.

Melee weapon variants sound interesting though. That epic one that lets you throw and retrieve it was something I thought up back when Black Ops 3 first introduced new melee weapons.
 
Anyone else feel like they did the variants in this game better than in AW?

I feel like in AW, there were clear: "This variant is better than anything else", and while I guess with some guns you could make that argument (the two NV4's), overall I feel like IW gives enough guns with downsides that there isn't clear 'best variants' for any guns.

Like I will admit, I love the Ripper but I also see why people would hate it since it's recoil can be insane. Then I think the Nuke perk also makes it so people won't always use the Epic variants.
 
What I didn't like about Advanced Warfare's variants is that stats like damage and range could be seriously improved without considerable drawbacks.

Plus the Epic (and some lower-tier) variants in Infinite Warfare have more interesting transformative effects on the guns, whereas the AW variants were just stat changes or a free attachment, or the like.

Yeah. Even when I got one of the Epic(?) variants in AW, it was just the same old gun with some minor tweaks and engravings.
 
Just for a laugh I connected to my phone's mobile hotspot and got on multiplayer.

I actually got kills and stopped getting insta-death 100% of the time.

Is there some way to artificially add latency to your connection so this game is playable? On a good wired connection it's such a shitty experience. Maybe I should just torrent some big files and delete them.

I jumped into a couple matches and it honestly felt like there were rampant cheaters. Your bullets do nothing, theirs insta-kill. They hop around and disappear randomly and can't be hit. They run a corner and aim straight at you like a bot with unfair ai.

This game is such a shitshow at the core level. It would be fun if it was even remotely playable or consistent in its core mechanics and networking.
 
I got the Volk Goliath in my first hack crate. Been really wanting that gun but holy hell, the gold fixed camo is atrocious. The Mk2 gold camo reflects light in game like nothing else, and is a serious handicap. If I could toggle it to remove the 15% bonus and put on normal camo's I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I'll be interested to see what these 'weekly' hacks are. I'm glad they added them, as it makes me want to get back to this game a bit more and save up some keys.

Seriously. I skipped this hack because I don't like or want the MK2's solely because of the unchangable camo. I'm gonna be bummed when I open an epic weapon that I don't have and it's the MK2 version. I like seeing the details of the gun, not a dumb gaudy camo.

Dude we get it. You hate the game. Holy shit.

There's criticism and then there's just coming in here to talk shit.
Click to expand...

Here's the problem, I like the game but the game is an unplayable broken mess. I'd like to play the game but it's such a bad experience for absolutely backwards, unnecessary reasons.

Do they think that the average user can't handle more than 10hz update rate? Do they think it provides a better experience for the casual player who doesn't have to think about how they play and the server side prediction and compensation decides all the gunfights?

Is this even a game or do you just push buttons and the server decides who gets points and who dies arbitrarily? Are the other players even human or just bots while the game fucks about with lag and players disappearing?
 
You rank up soooooo slow in this game!!!! I don't live on the game but I play a descent amount and I still haven't prestiged, currently rank 43. I just want to prestige once at least so I can get the damn Mac Tav. Even double XP doesn't help much, frustrating.

Servers being down last night was bullshit, I was in the mood to put in an hour before the wife started complaining and couldn't. They should give double XP or something for a couple days for that.


Do you get an unlock token and the classic weapon token first prestige? The OSA (I think that's the right name?) says it unlocks at 55 so are you able to keep that and get the Mac Tav at the same time? Those are the two guns I want.

Yeah, you get an unlock token every prestige. You also get either an additional classic weapon token or a new loadout slot, starting with the classic token and alternating the reward on every prestige.

Also, the OSA is permanently unlocked once you hit 55, you won't have to use any tokens to keep it after prestiging. So after prestiging for the first time, you'll have the OSA, one classic weapon token, and one normal unlock token (plus the prestige challenges in the barracks).

Awesome, thanks for clearing that up. I wasn't aware the OSA was permanently unlocked without a token so I am glad ill have that and the Mac Tav I just need to freaking prestige, its taking me forever!

Any tips or game modes that will speed the process up? I pretty much play kill confirmed.

I assume you're just playing TDM then as if I'm remembering correctly I was ranking up every 3 games of Domination during double XP and that was up in the later ranks.

Ill have to try Domination then, I mostly play Kill Confirmed and once in a while Domination but haven't really touched anything else.
 
Got to 4k Salvage again.

I'm like 90% sure I'm going to get the Invective since I want another Epic AR and I'm don't really care if the gun changes too much.

I will hold on though to see the quartermaster update comes out. WHENEVER it comes out.
 
Community Update:

https://community.infinityward.com/.../Community-Update-February-2017/ba-p/10181782

We’ve been hard at work on a ton of great new content, DLC, fresh game features, and more, and wanted to provide an update about what’s on the horizon.

First off, by the end of the month, we’re adding 360-degree rig rotation to all rig models in our menus so you can see what your rig customization looks like from all angles. Alongside this we’ll have an update to the Winner’s Circle in which your rigs will be carrying the last weapon you used in a match, your personal vanity weapon so to speak, for all your taunting impulses.

Second, we’re going to be adding in new content on a regular basis to keep gameplay fresh. Be sure to visit the Quartermaster regularly to see what new items your robot friend has to offer.

In our last community update, we mentioned that our emblem editor would be coming by the end of February. We need to extend our final testing by a few weeks, so we’re now aiming for release of the emblem by mid-March. We apologize for making our creative community wait a bit longer than planned to add their own unique emblem style to our game, but we’re confident it will be worth the wait. Ensuring that we’ve completed all QA, and added final polish, we look forward to sharing and talking about your amazing emblem creations once we launch it.

Looking ahead, we will be adding a new mission team, with its own equipment and gear to chase, increasing prestige levels to grant a fresh challenge to our most skilled players, providing some new features for scorestreaks, the Quartermaster, and more such as a community poll giving you a say in picking the upcoming weeklong, featured game mode.

As always, thank you for your support and reading until the end of this update. We hope you’re having a lot of fun with the game and all the new content as we strive to make our game better and better every day. See you online.

So along with Emblem Editor, we're getting presumably Blood Anvil, Scorestreaks variants,and new prestiges, which could mean more classic weapons.

It's also nice they are adding the 360 degree rig rotation finally.
 
Seems like a good update.

Stopped playing once I got Diamond LMGs and started working on snipers. I absolutely hate the snipers.

And fuck the Howitzer. Worst weapon in any CoD you are forced to use if you want Solar/Black Sky. Goddamn I'm still salty over the fact you need 160 direct hit kills. Only have about 20 of those done.
 
Anyone else having sprinting issues? Or is perhaps my controller biting the dust soon? I use the default control scheme so L3. The issues I'm having is sometimes my char doesn't start sprinting, other times when he is sprinting he just stops sprinting even though I'm still holding the stick forward. This causes boost and sliding issues. Sometimes I'll try to slide and i'll just crouch. It's been really bad the last two nights.

Does it happen in Zombies or Campaign?
 
What is with these updates I have to do before launching Multiplayer? This was never in any other game in the franchise. It doesn't even tell me what they're doing!

IW is so fucking lacklustre. Absolute sham compared to BO3

edit: on a high note, Infected is such a damn addictive game mode
 
"Bring some heavy machinery if you want to dominate on Dominion in #IWSabotage. Out now on PS4, and coming to Xbox One & PC on March 2."

Finally.
 
Ridiculous how long it takes to get map packs on this game especially us Xbox people. The game has been out for months and we get the first one in march!

IIRC they can also be for playlist and other small stuff.

Also I can't wait for Tuesday. Been waiting for this quartermaster update for what feels like a month now.
 
What is the best way to beat the Zombies in Spaceland Easter Egg? Solo or two player? Any videos with the best way to do it. I was trying to do it in god mode, but I can not protect that thing for 60 seconds. There are to many zombies that just all pile on top of that thing. I was using the Axe pack-a-punched with slappy taffy and it was doing really well for the small areas but the wide open spots I can't shoot or chop them fast enough.

What's the quartermaster update? I hope not new guns because I just bought a bunch of supply drops yesterday and not spending money again on this game. Didn't want to do it but I really wanted the NV4 chaos and it would if taken me forever to get enough salvage..... I get it but I still think the dlc takes way to long, other games like gears release maps way sooner
