Also, I forgot to mention that they are also slightly increasing the required score to earn a UAV. Which is good, because there are pretty much UAVs up 24/7 because they're so easy to get. Seriously. Say you're playing Domination. Capture the flag your team spawns by, then get 1 kill, and bam. UAV. Good move on Treyarch's part.
[/quote]Seriously? They had that pointstreak at 2?

Ah, yes. Those look like good balance changes.

[Agro]

Two weeks until I can play my PS3 again :s

[Makο]

GETTIN' THERE


In the meantime, I've decided to run with ONLY the Executioner for a while. Because why not.

[Archbaron Larry]

I'm very happy with this update. The SMGs got a good nerf, the two that were a serious problem had a recoil increase. I also like how they reduced the sway on the ARs just to be a little more sure they don't lose long-range gunfights to SMGs. Also, I like how they actually gave recoil on the M8A1 and FAL for select fire, because they were borderline-op when full-auto. However, I don't think nerfing the SWAT was a wise idea, that thing was already underpowered enough.

But I can't wait to poop on the SMG users who still think they can shoot me across Yemen with a Silenced MSMC. HAHAHAHA.

There's a map called Yemen.

Anyway, I played the game for a while today, as I was itching to try out the new patch. I was totally amazed. Treyarch did a PERFECT job in fixing the guns. SMGs are still great, but no longer overpowered. You can really see the difference on the PDW and MSMC, they actually have quite a but of recoil now. A lot of people have already caught on to the patch, I guess, as the game's pace is much more comfortable now. I personally like that you can actually rush with an Assault Rifle and go positive now, which was pretty much impossible before. The spawn system is better (I think that has to do with the slowing of the pace), and it just overall feels so much better.

Also, CHICOM CQB RAPES.

[Makο]

I HAVEN'T PLAYED ALL DAY

CHRISTMAS TREE AND GRATUITOUS SPACE BATTLES ATE MY TIME

WILL PLAY TOMORROW

[Archbaron Larry]

A bit unrelated, but sometimes I really wish PSN had an "invisible" option like Steam does. Here's why:

*Has been playing BO2 for 5 hours straight*
"Ok, this is my last game for sure, I'm really itching to play BF3 after this."
*Invited by Mako*
"WHY NOW, I'M ACTUALLY DOING GOOD"
Mako: LAAAARY
*Invited again*
"JUST WAIT"
*Invited by someone else*
*Invited by Mako again*
"GUISE STAHP"
*Game ends and joins Mako's session*
*PS3 Crashes*

:'(

[Agro]

This is obviously Mako's fault.

[Makο]

YOU TOOK MY VIRUS BAIT

HAH

HAHA

But seriously, I was like "Come on...come on...*Larry is offline* ...well, screw you too."

BUT NOW I KNOW

[Agro]

In all fairness, Mako. You do come online at the WORST possible time.

[Makο]

...Yeah, I do...


Also, wow

wowow

Tac-45 is my main now.

Holy Pistols:
Tac-45 w/ Dual Wield (Siberia Camo, Clan Tag, Emblem, Max Prestige 2)

Ghost + Lightweight
Toughness (Soon to be Scavenger)
Engineer + Dexterity
Sensor Grenade

Perk 3 Greed
Perk 1 Greed


Enemies detected by the Sensor Grenade show up on radar. Just figured this out.

[Archbaron Larry]

So the Sensor Grenade is just like the Portable Radar from MW3? I too am just figuring this out now.

[Makο]

It works like this:

You take out this little ball, like those training orbs from Star Wars. You slap it with your palm, and throw it. Upon activating, it shoots out a little red laser at any enemies within its line of sight, giving a visual cue. Enemies also show up on radar, showing the direction they are facing (Still frame, not like Orbital VSAT). It lasts 6-8 seconds before 'asplodin', doing a little bit of explosive damage.

Great for checking out rooms before charging in, and that small explosion can take out equipment, meaning it's useful against campers.

[Archbaron Larry]

So the KSG is freaking amazing. I can't really use it well in faster paced team games, but I completely own with it in Search and Free For All. You need to practice a lot with it to get the accuracy down, but the range is insane. Won 2 Free For All matches in a row with it. I NEVER win FFA.

[Makο]

The Sensor 'Nade is still good.

Also, I used to not like the MMS because I thought I couldn't look at people through walls except for measly cover. I only came to that conclusion because it doesn't show terrain behind walls. Shows people easily.

SO USEFUL IN SND

The MMS really doesn't me help at all. If I ever use it, I use it as a normal sight with a zoom level in between the Reflex and EOTech.

Anyway, the M8A1 is freaking amazing. I actually stand a chance against snipers, and I still have the ability to poop on SMG nubs. And I just love Burst weapons in general.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Burst weapons aren't that great, because they can't be sprayed so easily in Zombies. In fact, the M8A1 is one of the worst guns in Zombies because of it. The Chicom, on the other hand, is the only thing that works for spraying cause it takes the heads off so easily, considering it's a Quad Burst what PAPed.

Just saiyan. cwatididthar?

Not really a huge Zombies guy in this game, but the few times I got the M8 I did notice how weak it was. But in multiplayer the thing is a beast.

And yes, ICWATUDIDTHAR.

Someone said the M12 sucked.


SOMEONE SHOULD BE SMACKED ACROSS BOTH PAIRS OF CHEEKS WITH A MOLDY CANTALOUPE.

Might as well slap me across both cheeks with an M12 if that's the case, there's really no difference.

[Makο]

I already did.

What you need is Long barrel and Laser sight, like EVERY OTHER SHOTGUN. Then it becomes a bonefide killing machine, granted you understand the concept of bob and weave.
