Knowing CoD developers the shotguns will verily be shite in this new rendition of Shipment.

Interesting. Unfortunately, it drops only a few days before Destiny for us Playstation users.

What the f uck is wrong with them. Nothing? Why would IW give a rat's ass about Destiny's release? I would also venture a guess the DLC drop dates were set well before the Destiny release date. IW has known it's drop schedule since last spring. It follows a similar pattern year to year.

Oh lol.
I remember Shipment. I thought people liked it? Small map, mindless killing, high kill count numbers.

The fact that Destiny will be released less than a week later is going to have a negative effect on sales of the DLC, don't you think?

I'd wager if you're getting this DLC you've already paid for it.

Sure, but they could have gotten more value out of it by simply pushing it up a week or two.

Very few non-season pass holders are still playing, let along buying anything this late in the year (at least to any material effect) This is strictly a "WE OWE THEM ONE MORE, GET IT OUT, SO WE CAN MOVE ON" type of thing.

Regardless, pushing up the release date would increase revenue without changing cost. Even if it's not a lot more revenue, it's at least a little. I'm surprised they're pushing it out this close to Destiny.

Shipment looks awful. Do they really have that much of a hard on for dynamic maps that they have to give the map killstreaks now?

It's more building in killstreaks that people want to get - people want to get the Predator, or the AC130, or Michael Myers. They know everyone hates the dynamic map stuff.

Maybe if the original Killstreaks for this game didn't suck so bad then everyone would't focus on that stuff. Final DLC for Ghost, Nemesis, drops Aug 5th for Xbox.

LMAO WWA=Truth Are you complaining that the killstreaks aren't powerful enough? Because we pretty much established that Ghosts corrected BO2's terrible killstreaks. Or are you complaining that the killstreaks aren't fun?

Low streaks required too many kills, high streaks could not be countered and caused players to back out. What killstreaks from previous titles did you consider fun? Because I'd say Dog+Vulture+Maniac is the most fun you can have with killstreaks in any COD game. Squadmate + AI Jugg Recon was also a lot of fun. I'm trying to think of really fun killstreaks from other titles, and I'm sort of blanking.

Recon Juggernaut from MW3 was my favorite killstreaker ever. It was like playing titanfall before titanfall existed.

Oh wait, nevermind, the host dashboarded and you're back in a lobby looking for a game.

People rage quitting feels as much or more like a win to me, especially against good opponents. It just adds to the humiliation. Not to sound too much like your average pubstar, but if you are so scrubbish you are getting massive high steaks dri5pped on you constantly and are always rage quitting, then why are you even playing?
I play fighting gamesome online where rage quitting happens even more, so maybe I'm used to it and take that as a win.

The problem with BO2 wasn't just the strength of the killstreaks.Sure it didn't help, but it was 2 things specifically regarding BO2. Nonexistent counters and cyclical killstreaks. When you cannot counter a killstreak that gives more killstreaks you can't counter that leads to more killstreaks the strength of the killstreak isn't the problem.

MW2 has hard to counter killstreaks in spades. Pred missile: hard to counter. Harrier: glitches half the time. AC-130: the 3 shots it takes one guy means it gets a lot of it's damage in anyway. MW2 was the worst in series, hell UAV was good because you had to give up stopping power for cold blood.
