I also feel like on PC you can't make as drastic of turns with the mouse compared to a controller, so being able to hipfire allows you to stay with jumping and sliding enemies a lot easier. Though you could just put a laser sight on any of the smgs and just hipfire with a faster TTK.

...I really want to see Vonderhaar use the haymaker, brecci, and the krm for an extended period of time. While he does that, he outta try out the sniper rifles. Weapon balance in BO3 is deplorable. If he actually tried out all of his weapons for an extended period of time, maybe then he would stop listening to the 12 year old cry babies. Maybe then, we would have a balanced CoD.

"I also understand that people expect to know what has changed. This is especially true for weapon tuning. Part of the fun of video games is discovery and experimentation. This is especially in a "Create a Class" and Pick 10 world. Nerfed Gorgon XR-2 Pharo VMP Haymaker Buffed Razorback HVK-30 Dingo KRM-262 Argus Locus Most of these edits were very small and range from clip sizes, to damage range, to ADS time in/out adjustments, modifications to Quickdraw Bonus(es) for LMGs, recoil reductions. The general philosophy is to tune in small increments either up or down, until we have a really healthy set of data and player opinion to work from." -V Has anyone actually noticed any of these changes? I played more with XR2 and Argus and couldn't tell any difference.

The thing about the gorgon is that it is way above average power level at a certain range with even a little accuracy and reflexes. It can FEEL overpowered when you die to it by challenging it at its perfect range. What that person won't experience is how weak the gorgon is at close range in a chaotic situation. At close range you need to have good gun skill, movement control, and map awareness to make it work. Otherwise, you are going to lose to everything else. These are generally the same weaknesses and strengths as a sniper, but the gorgon needs 1-3 attachments/sights to be effective AND you aren't getting full movement. It was already beautifully balanced. Well said. I think this is similar with the shotguns and even some of the other guns too. They're totally OP in very specific circumstances, which is a good thing. I've only received two hate emails so far on my first Prestige. Both people calling me names, because I used the Gorgon. That's pretty sad, as one of the games, I don't even think I went positive. What might be sadder, is that my number of great games is so few, ...I've only gotten two hate mails.

It's strange, I used to get so much more hate when I was on XB360. Texts and audio messages, I cherished them all. Far less of that now on PS4.

I have yet to receive fan mail. I've got like 1500 kills with the brecci. I must be doing something wrong.

Try that though you may be driven to madness yourself.

I have about 1100 kills with the haymaker. Plenty of 70+ kill games to boot. No fan mail. I was driven to madness on day 2 by the shittyness of the haymaker.

For the love of God, I hope they fix the matchmaking glitch. Where you occasionally get unmatched lobbies, like 4v7, 5v7, etc...It's tough enough playing this game solo, but to then give the other side extra people? Come on Treyarch.
And fix the freaking friends list glitch. Why hasn't that been fixed yet?
And the 'invite-error' glitch. That needs addressed too.

Feels like they will never fix it almost on purpose One thing the patch did add: "Lobby Leaderboards" (source: charlieintel)

as long as they actually fix the 16(12) players lobbies, I am content.
That shit is just ridiculous.
Coding games is probably 100x harder than I think, but a simple (if?) check to net let anybody else in once
IF your party is bigger than the number of open places in a lobbie
ELSE IF the lobbie has reached its maximum number of players.
--> NOPE
But than again, all I know is matlab and fortran.

It's not like this sh1t just came up out of the blue and caught Treyarch off guard. Like one of those, " WTF, THE GAME IS COMING OUT NEXT WEEK, AND LOBBIES ONLY HAVE 12 PEOPLE, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO??"No. CoD has been running 6v6 lobbies since like forever. Like 2005? Ten years in tech time is like centuries in real time. It's the same lobby matchmaking system they have been doing since this all started.

Argus nerf. NOTHING IS SACRED I SAY. DDDDDD: It was a slight nerf to ADS speed in exchange for much better hipfiring. Argus is now not completely trash at hipfiring. Don't see any issue with that. You still get the same amazing 1HK ADS range.
