Yes and it's incredibly easy too. The plane flies so low and is big so it's easy to spray down even with smg.
I hope they change it to be a little harder to get rid of.

Play TDM then, I know you are a good player who caps as well as I have played with you, objective playing in objective modes should far outweigh some dick just ignoring objectives and killing everyone.
Streaks are fun, but AW is a perfect example of it breaking modes, system hack was hilarious, once a team got that it was simply rolling from on to the other.
I didn't try it, but the UAV's are huge! I also read you can shoot them down with guns lol, launchers not even needed.
Yes. You have to aim manually with a rocket launcher, or shoot a bunch of rounds into one, but you can shoot them down.
You're right, I do capture. I'm not just there getting kills, but playing the objective.
That being said. Killing the opposing team, pushing them back, keep them back with streaks etc, while your team captures, can also be a viable strategy.
If your contribution to the team is killing the opposite team, preventing them to capture, and carrying a win at the end, is that not viable? I think it is, strategically keeping the enemy back.
Now, if you're just going around killing for no reason, when flags are being unaccounted for, and you still get the loss, that would not make sense

Yeah the recon planes are pretty easy to shoot down. They have a huge hit box to hit with rockets. Just have to lead them a little bit.

Started enjoying the beta way more when I started to learn the maps and taking it a bit slower. I'm good with ARs and SMGs, bad with the rest. Feel like LMG's and shotguns don't really have a niche to fill.
Anyway, I miss playing some matches and am looking forward to the 1st. Hope they add a map and some weapons.

It's been disappointing hearing this stuff since I always liked those types of weapons. We used to play hardcore mode with LMGs since it made the bullet penetration an actual threat so hopefully that will still be fun.
For LMGs, you very much have to take things slow and keep your distance from other players, especially those running SMGs and shotguns. LMGs are good for holding down certain positions well, which is more important in objective game modes like Dom or Hardpoint. They also shred Recon planes to pieces. I was able to destroy any plane using one magazine of the MG15. FMJ will make it even faster.

So I guess shotguns with rifle rounds(slugs) are amazing and make shotguns actually useful. Because of this, I'm expecting a nerf.

shotguns are fun as fuck. hope they are viable. didnt really like any in IW
There's only one shotgun with a rifle round, it only gets one shot before a really long reload (much longer than a bolt action sniper's rechamber), it costs an attachment slot, it disables incendiary rounds, and you can still only use short range optics. It doesn't even salvage how lousy the double barreled is, let alone make it so powerful that it needs a nerf.
Going back to IW shotguns after WWII was like heaven. Especially the M.2187.

Popped in BO2 today. Set up my PS3 and everything.
Every game was a hacked lobby. Ridiculous. Guess if I want my COD fix I have to get WWII lol
Im happy its a 5 killstreak, but yeah, at 5 kills, the UAV should really be near impossible to take down

Looks like will be pre order only from what I've read, no plan to open it up.

I feel like I should be more creative on this game, but I'm bound to either go for this games 'P90', so the SMG with the highest ammo count, or the most accurate LMG if they have smoke and optics.
I'm a creature of habit.

yeah fuck people that don't play obj.
And fucking with the map spawns when people are trying to 3 cap, then the game turns into musical chairs going from a to c back to a to b, etc. Far easier keeping them spawn trapped.

Damn, why are they so bad at getting the day right? Heh, at least it's in our favor being early.
How do you get one from o2 priority? I never use that thing.
This code's been redeemed btw
Edit: never mind, got one. There's a big banner on their site haha thanks for the heads up.
Activision hasn't sent out the codes yet either way.
This seems to be a repeat of last week. Beta went up almost a day early, right around this time, but retail preorder codes didn't start going out until about an hour later or so. If anyone preordered the game digitally on XB1, they should be to download if they haven't already and play it. PS4 players should be able to hop on now and continue from where they left off last weekend.

What the hell? Beta is up on PS4 and Xbox One... yet haven't received a Beta code for Xbox One in my e-mail yet.
Yes. Just like last weekend it began 1 day earlier.
I will say, the new map is far better than the others and the 100 kill TDM is SOOOOOO much better.

It's so frustrating.
This is their map design. Small maps. They are promising big maps but we all know its bullshit. I just wanted some hope that theyd make good maps
Played a handful of matches, and a couple of them had some of the worst lag I've seen in the Beta. A couple of players were literally skipping around the map. After playing a dozen or so hours last week and having some issues, I was hoping it would improve this week, not get worse.
The new map does not play very well at all in Dom or TDM. They were talking about it being a sniper map, but with closed off lanes on the left and right, it is just as much as a SMG/Shotgun map as point du hac, maybe more.
The M1A1 carbine is pretty fun new weapon, and there is a new sniper rifle available as well. I'll probably rank up high enough to mess around with the new guns. I legitimately like War Mode enough that it will keep my attention throughout the beta, but I would have loved to have seen a new map for that as well.
I've bought every COD new since MW, but with the netcode being as off as it is, and the the poor map design (just my opinion) I may wait for a sale. Whether or not I get this game will really depend on how many maps they have for war mode and how they decide to support it. It's really the only thing that gets me excited for this game.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Oh no. That's the worst CoD map of all time.

Holy shit I am bad at Call of Duty
Man, so disappointing. I remember back when MW2, WaW and those games came out, the maps were such a big deal. Revealing them was a big thing. Now they just seem to fart out mediocre close quarters arenas.
I'll play this weekend to see how it plays, but if it isn't for me I'll cancel my preorder. There are too many games this fall to play.

I hope you're wrong, they're no Treyarch, but I wish they'd take some inspiration from WaW's map design. Big open-ended maps, versatile for many play styles. Great for SnD as well.
This is just...meh. Really dissapointed with what they're showcasing.

Pre-ordered this digitally via XBL and have a message stating I can "download the beta now in preparation for September 1st" but there's no link to anything. Where am I supposed to find it?

Can anybody confirm whether or not there are bolt action rifles w/ iron sights in this game? Those were some of my favorite guns in WAW and was hoping for it in COD WW2.
