Anyone know if there is a limit on the amount of elite weapons you can have? The size of your armoury, which seems to be about 100 slots or so? When you go into your armoury it says right at the top how many free slots you have remaining.

Another patch just rolled out a few hours ago, and a huge one at that (531 MB on PS4, 117 MB on XB1): attackofthefanboy.com/news/call-duty-advanced-warfare-receives-531mb-patch/More weapon balancing, the AE4 is finally usable for those of us who bought the Digital Pro edition, and the coolest part: A daily challenge to unlock an extra Supply Drop! More Nigerian boots for all! System Hack now requires 700 points instead of 600. They also got rid of the skull and crossbones.

In his latest video, Driftor just said that the max damage of the MP11 is 27 not 30. I thought Marvel got the numbers from the code? Bad Driftor, tsk tsk. Unless, of course, the damage was patched, and Driftor did his testing after the patch? I guess this can be very very easily tested (see if you get 1 hit kills up close in hard core), but I'm trapped at work for another 8 hours and my Xbox is at home

You have to fully upgrade your exo. And to do that you need to complete all the campaign challenges. My exo is not fully upgraded and I have the MORS. I'm pretty sure it's unlocked after the mission where you use it in the campaign.

Did I dream about reading all of those incredible responses, or did this get modzillad?

Just got Defender in rotation on Xbox One. I hadn't noticed it before, but after reading your posts I did notice it was a bit laggy for the first 10 seconds or so. Something I wasn't able to notice on any other map.

On old gen the HBR sucks even more since they nerfed it to have SMG range. It wasn't a bad gun before the nerf, it just wasn't on BAL level at all. Which is why this game is basically shit on a stick. Using anything other than the bal pretty much puts you at such a disadvantage that its not even worth it. Also Foxtrots up any chance of variety since every other gun is inferior to the bal and thats not even the best variant of bal, the base gun is just as bad. This is a twitch shooter where whoever shoots first will win the gun battle 99% of the time, regardless of what gun you are using. To define it as "shit on a stick" because one gun has a TTK that is 5% faster than other weapons is just absurd. You must hate every single Call of Duty game if you think that way.

How come everyone doesn't use the HBRa3 over the BAL? It seems better based off these stats, or am I missing something? RPM

Gungho does change the sprinting animation, but it's hard to differentiate from normal walking with the gun. This is my biggest gripe with gung-ho. Not only does it look ridiculous, but it's very hard to tell if I am sprinting or not.

1-2 sht, smg handling, low recoil, under barrel attachments, 900 rpm That information applies to every SMG in Hard core, minus the grenade launcher option. Is it viable? Sure, all weapons are in Hard core, that is why I like HC, you can have success with anything (even shotguns). The tradeoff for the grenade launcher option is that it is burst rather than full auto.

Jesus Christ. So we should never ever ever EVER use a pistol with an attachment, just overkill an AMR9.

The HBR shoots at 857 for the first 4? It feels way the Foxtrot slower than that. If you're on console (60 FPS), frame rounding drops it to 720 RPM.

8 damage is proper balance for that weapon. I'm saddened that they listened to the whiners and dropped it back down to 6 damage, that makes it unusable poop again.

SBMM is a good thing - it creates player retention. If you are new to the twitch FPS genre and you play 5 multiplayer matches against 2.0+ K/D players who are calling in an endless stream of kill streaks and nukes, you are unlikely to ever step foot in multiplayer again. Without new players joining and staying, we will be foreveralone.jpeg

Yup. What could be dangerous is a AE4 variant with +damage. If it increases that minimum damage from 30 to 34 - kaboom we have 3 SHK at all ranges. Any +firerate variants would probably be a great choice too. We'll have to see what they add - if they plan on adding DLC variants at all, that is.

Oh wow, I am thoroughly impressed with how well they balanced this gun.
On one side, it is the most powerful automatic (4 HK at long range, 1 HK in HC), and has Scavenger built in. On the down side, it has a super slow rate of fire, overheats fast, and has ZERO PENETRATION.
Well done, SledgeHammer. You hit it out of the ballpark with this one.

Isn't this gun only good for HC? Only if the minimum damage is 30+. I would test it but I am plagued by the Digital Pro Season Pass glitch (the game doesn't recognise that you have the season pass if you bought Digital Pro on XB1).

The whole "I see less of my friends playing the new COD" is probably the stupidest argument anyone could come up with.
It's called turnover. Over the years, you see less of your friends working at McDonalds too. That doesn't mean McDonald's is dying.

An FPS where the Oculus Rift is mandatory - that would be the next huge step forward. The problem is you can't really ease it into multiplayer, as players not using it would have a huge advantage (be able to see their full peripheral vision on one screen in their focus, rather than actually outside in their peripherals). It could be eased into single player, being optional. But for multiplayer, it would have to be mandatory.
You still use your two thumbsticks (or keyboard+mouse) to control your character's body, but your head is free to move. Hipfire still shoots straight out your chest, regardless of where your head is pointed. Left trigger pulls your gun up to wherever your head is looking, and holding it (ADS) locks out the free-head movement.
One can always dream... that next level of immersion.

witty I thing one thing you should really consider is the boner you get for Titanfall.
As I understand it, PC population on Titanfall is rather low? On XboxOne there are still tons of matches happening, every time I search I instantly connect and versus different people, in any playlist.
Now we all assume Titanfall 2 will not be exclusive. But it will certainly be optimized for Microsoft's Azure servers. I have never experienced a more consistently flawless game connection than I have with Titanfall. Like, it's as perfect as LAN. I don't know what Playstation has for an equivalent, but I am really really really looking forward to more developers making use of these servers. It's a real shame that Advanced Warfare didn't.
13 months since the console has come out, and the interface is still Windows 8 metro crap though, and it's horribly inefficient. It still takes me 3x more actions than the 360 to do the same simple tasks. The 360 went through like 5 major interface changes in it's lifetime though, so there is hope. At least the XBL Party Chat is finally working properly...

It has two damage drop-offs. First from 50 to 30 (@200 units), then again from 30 to 10 (@650 units), from the looks of Marvel's numbers. Not sure what range the damage drops to 0 at? Or does it continue at 10 damage to infinite range? It absolutely doesn't do that. I remember marvel saying something about how it doesn't have a 10 damage range and that the minimum damage range is the range at which the gun doesn't do damage. Or something like that. So the 10 damage part is meaningless? It actually just drops straight from 30 damage to 0 damage @650 units? How bizarre

Wait, so the Tac-19 is always a one hit kill in Touch Football then? Because I can happily (sarcasm) say that's not true (I've been once or shot twice by this thing and not died in Touch Football before). It has two damage drop-offs. First from 50 to 30 (@200 units), then again from 30 to 10 (@650 units), from the looks of Marvel's numbers. Not sure what range the damage drops to 0 at? Or does it continue at 10 damage to infinite range?

-> Make Hardwired also act as Dead Silence
Would that be overpowered? I think not. Other perks in this tier: Scavenger, Blast Suppressor, Hardline, Toughness This is the god tier. Make Hardwired a god perk that is viable in all situations, rather than just a counter to 1 killstreak. With no system hacks up, the perk does absolutely nothing.
