Tag and Bag medals have some arbitrary timer whereby you don't get the medal even if they're still red when you kill them. I don't get it. Hero challenge would be so much easier if it lasted the entirety of the wallhack highlight. How the hell did I ever complete the double kills for this challenge? Omg I was trying my hardest to get tag and bag kills yesterday, I could only get 4 kills in a game twice. I need two more for the hero face for Outrider. I think you need to hear the noise in front of you and kill them pretty quickly to get it. If they are behind you I don't think it works, even if they are red. The Xclusive Ace did a video about this recently he says you get about 3 seconds to get the medal. After that, even if they are still red, you wont get the tag and bag. He did it on TDM, where the vision pulse charges faster than other game modes, save FFA. I would have thought, it would be easier pulsing some Domination cappers, with their pants down, but who am I to argue being a filthy casual.

In other news, I impulse bought 5000 CoD points after 3arc offered Rare drops at 50% off. Not a single one of them contained a melee weapon.
Like really, it's just your mundane camouflage or duplicate. Not to mention attachment variants and sight reticles for shit one wouldn't even use.
Never again -- I'll probably stick to Common drops from now on, what with people having stupid luck. Least I got taunts and Extra Slots out of it.

I don't see why people would buy commons. Rare packs have proven themselves to easily be the superior buy, especially with the buffed rate pulls on epics and legendaries.

The absolute titans I just had on my team combined for 33 kills and 92 deaths in a game of TDM. That's a 0.36 K/D, and I didn't notice any of them knifing or doing anything else that would indicate that they were doing anything other than trying their hardest.

Free games are the way to go, so I don't have to give a shit about what my randoms do. It's still not as reliable as party play, but it provides an opportunity to do nonsensical challenges that would burden your team.

You can increase your base ten slots...to something higher, with one of those lottery winnings? Technically it's not increasing how many slots you can access in game. It just makes it so that you can make alternative class sets so that it's quicker to switch classes for specific game modes. So for example you could make a class set that is more geared towards SnD.

Safeguard is pretty fun. Glimmers of Escort in SOCOM. Great for Hero challenges. I'm sinking ton of time in this gamemode lately to get HIVE and Gravity Spikes done.
I wish you could make the robot take an alternate route though. When I first started playing I thought "you're taking him there???"

If you think those routes are bad, I assure you, randoms would show you just how bad a route could be.

I'm not sure if I'm just the last person to discover this but tac mask apparently protects you from your own flashbangs (and maybe concussions) so I've been spamming the crap out of those.

Welp, back to using Stock on just about everything just like in previous CoD's. I thought I could go without it but I can't...that quicker ADS movement speed helps out so much.
I want to like the L-Car, but for some odd reason I like frantically spamming the MR6 more.

I've played a bit, haven't seen a single interesting thing in the black market drops. Nothing. Not this week or even since day one (other than camos, attachments and other useless shit). I seriously don't get how some people already have all these wrenches, swords and other things. It's not like I haven't played this game enough. Then again, I'm the guy who played a disturbing amount of time on Destiny, hit every target and goal EVERY week (after starting in week 3) . . .and never even saw of whiff a fvcking GHorn. One of many reasons I finally just broke my disc and tossed it into the garbage in July of 15.

One of many reasons I finally just broke my disc and tossed it into the garbage in July of 15. My guess is they bought COD points. My recommendation is that no one buys COD points ever so as to discourage this method of revenue generation in the future, but that is probably hopeless. At least the weapons seem mostly useless gimmicks at this point. If this was really pay to win then I'd be pretty disappointed.

I posted in another thread, was with someone last night who dropped $300 to get all the shit he wanted. That's not a typo. I'm still not sure I believe him, but he said it was true, a moment of weakness.
The CoD points is a rip off. I think like $10 gets you like 1,000 CoD Points. But I think the conversion is like 200 CoD point for once spin at the Rare Black Market lottery well. So $10, gets you like five chances? Good lord, this is the mother of all rip offs.
As for myself, I have burned all my supply of regular BM coins. I have since picked up the brass knuckles and wrench. Yay me.

It's a suckers bet if I've ever seen one, the numbers just tell us how high the tax on the stupid is.

From the perspective of a developer like Activision, if you have idiots dropping $300 on dice rolls, why wouldn't you milk that sucker? Expect this to continue and only get worse so long as their are morons out their spending money on this type of crap.

I don't care about any of the RNG stuff, I can take or leave any of it. I don't need every camo and armor variant, I play if the game is fun, that's it. I feel bad for power players who feel screwed but certainly not for fools blowing huge sums of cash. Just crazy, the game itself is not that good at all.

Hutch spent $350 of viewer-donated funds to get all the Black Market weapons, and was told by someone at Treyarch that he was lucky to get them all with only that much spent. Thing is, there are many, many more out there spending a lot more than that. Microtransactions are huge business. Hell, they've been fucking you guys in the ass with the map DLC for years, and a lot of you get it every year.
