I know this is late, but why didn't driftor mention headshots when talking about why pros use the bal over the ak12? 1 headshot and the bal is a 3hk as far as the obsidian steed's range. Compare the amount of headshots you have to the amount of kills you have. Now also ask yourself if it's worth trying to aim at the smallest target on the entire body while in a gunfight with someone who's shooting back.

Now also ask yourself if it's worth trying to aim at the smallest target on the entire body while in a gunfight with someone who's shooting back. You wouldn't necessarily aim for just the head, but rather aim for the upper body and get just one or two headshots (especially because most of the recoil is vertical), which would be enough to significantly reduce TTK.

I never go for headshots as shotguns don't have headshot multipliers for uh.. good reasons.

They aren't necessarily the killing shot, but they reduce shots to kill still.

Swiftor - Lives off streaming Call of Duty and playing with his subscribers in fun little minigames he creates for CoD. They are very interesting.

It's probably because Xbone sucks. Until games can start utilizing Microsoft's cloud computing thing, Xbone will be behind PS4 for awhile. Honestly I would not be surprised if Activision doesn't renew the exclusive deal with Microsoft because of how well the PS4 did. I doubt Sony will get it, but Activision might see that it's not as beneficial as it once was.

I'm with drift0r on this one, my xbone has been giving me fits from day one(hue) most annoying thing is when the controller totally desyncs from the system and i have to hard reset, it's like a daily ritual... I'm going out on a limb and making the switch to PC for COD, I started playing some older games on PC and really like the feel over console, and early signs for this year's PC version is looking good.

I'm going out on a limb and making the switch to PC for COD, I started playing some older games on PC and really like the feel over console, and early signs for this year's PC version is looking good. if you're ok with having fuc k all for players after the first couple months. steamgraph.net/index.php?action=graph&jstime=1&appid=209650&from=1415163600000&to=End+TimeGranted, 3arc manages their pc ports the best of the three. Blops 2 actually has consistently more players than AW at the moment. However you are pretty much stuck with TDM and Domination from start to finish and certainly get things slower, and IW/SHG do a horrid job of porting in comparison (IW especially so). If you wanna make the switch then by all means, but expect problems because CoD is a console game first. Blops 2 was what I was playing, and I was genuinely surprised to see there was at least 1500 people online all the time, and usually enough players to get a handful of matches going in a few non TDM gamemodes. I also occasionally play REPZ iW4 It's actually a new kinda fun metagame for me with the low playercount to see the same players over and over again and learn their playstyles

I'm talking well in terms of sales. 23 Million units in 1.5 years is good, last offfical stats from Microsoft was 10 Million at the one year mark. I think just a month or so Xbone saw a higher sale month than PS4, after two price drops. That's not "less shitty" that's good, no matter how you cut it. And as mousey said, there's no other competition.

Xbox One has been outselling PS4 recently, due to the aggressive price cuts months ago. Not that this is unexpected. You drop the price, you sell more. MS always knew they could do this. They have much deeper pockets than Sony.
Here's a reality. Both of these companies are selling more consoles now (comparing timelines) than at the same points in time years ago with the prior gen games. They are both making a lot of money.

Oh god that title. I'm sorry; I'm just picturing several six-year olds chanting "Sony Pony" at some six-year-old kid.
That kid then retorts with something like "Yeah? Well... you're just a bunch of X-BOOBS", to which everyone else gasps in shock. It is ON; he said BOOBS. One kid runs away to tell the teacher; another starts clawing into the dirt with his hands to alert the mole men of this travesty. The children of the schoolyard slowly gather as they pick sides or stand by to watch the chaos unfold. The teacher comes out, but immediately gets sucked into the black hole spawned from all the dark omens cast by the children. These people own things we did not own; we must aimlessly degrade them until they understand our ways! But then it's too late; a console war has begun in YouTube's comment section. Several minutes later several convoys of Black SUVs rush into the schoolyard; some XBOX decals on each followed by several more with PS4 logos instead.
"YOUR SYSTEM'S UI IS AWFUL" one voice would echo out of the void as a lightning bolt shoots out. "IT WILL GET BETTER IN THE LONG TERM" another voice retorts as winds picks up. A man in a black suit and shades steps out of the SUV, only to rest on the open door, slowly remove his glasses; and say that "we're too late". "IF YOU PRIORITIZED CLOUD GAMING YOU WOULD'VE BEEN HERE SOONER", "ONLY TRUE GAMERS WOULD PLAY IN TRUE HD", "OUR EXCLUSIVES ARE BETTER".
As the vortex was about to reach critical mass the heavens tore open with light pouring out. A bulbous figure in a red shirt and grey hair levitates gracefully to the ground. It was him; the man of legend. Gabe Newell- our one true hero of the PC Master Race.
"We've decided to let our users create their own content such as world-ending anomalies. We here in Valve believe that the consumer will hold themselves responsible for the quality of the content in our marketplace, and that process should not be tempered with by our staff." He then pulls a random soul out of the death vortex, saving it, and re-ascends into the skies. One way or another, the console war would have ended at any and all costs.
Anyways, assuming Microsoft is smart enough not to replicate the XBOX/PS2 incident we should see XBONE/PS4 sales converge on one another and on their previous gen counterparts when the next console gen comes. Drift0r, along with any other YouTuber dealing with CoD, would likely end up buying the other console eventually anyways.

Mousey is right about the player count on PC. It is awful, sadly. Console has about 10x the number of players throughout the entire lifecycle of the game. Also hackers are more prevalent on the older titles on PC.

They have to deal with the fact that their rushed and shoddy implementation ruined a potentially fantastic idea Rushed? They had longer to make this game than any other recent Call of Duty.

Not to mention they actually came out and apologized for the screwup which I totally respect. Now if only theyd hire a customer support team. They thought the same strategy with the 360 would work with the One.

I doubt Valve would have had any right to close shop and call it quits if they actually had a good product to sell. Then again, I doubt we'll ever find out for sure. On every other point I'd probably agree.

Anyways, back on topic
The problem I have with CoD zombies is that people play it on the sole basis that there's nothing really better in this niche in the console market. The end-game has boiled down to sitting at the mystery box for ten minutes finding one or two weapons that can still one-shot zombies past level 20. The zombies blandly gain health and spawn more on each wave. If you want to do well prepare to kite zombies in the same spot for hours on end. The game becomes tedious and exo-zombies hasn't really advanced beyond a few bells and whistles since Nacht Der Untoten.
I don't think the major issues with the gametype can be solved with players playing as zombies. Having human players won't do much because the zombies themselves aren't very interesting. They usually have effects that further punish a player for being hit, and that's the extent of CoD zombies' iteration. I know this can work in CoD: Ghosts' Extinction mode. We have AIs that are specifically tanky; specifically dedicated to artillery, dedicated to AoE denial; that sort of thing. If there aren't zombies crawling on the walls you're doing this wrong.
There have been games that have done well by having a team of human players face off against another human who acts like a Dungeon Master or a Boss Character, but that is a delicate matter. Remember in Evolve where everyone wanted to be the monster and nobody wanted to be the trapper? This format has worked well before, but not as an FPS. DungeonLand zombies can work, human zombies vs human humans can also work, but I doubt 3ARC is either ready, willing or able to pull anything like that off anytime soon.

OverRun mode in Gears of War: Judgment was an incredible implementation of such a gametype. Unfortunately, the rest of that game sucked.

I hate Zombies for exactly this reason and preferred Extinction due to its defined end game. I really wish we got Exotinction instead.

Halo's probably up there. I only dislike Halo's firefight mode on the basis that the challenge modifiers sometimes felt very arbitrary and pointlessly difficult. No radar? That's fine. Half ammo on pickup? Fine. Enemies with double health? Okay; I can handle that. Why on earth do I need to melee enemies to get my health back? I'm one guy against dozens; getting close to an enemy is a death sentence. Halo, what are you doing? Stop it; this is silliness.
Borderlands 1 had a horde mode DLC where players can take their end-game weapons and play in a ring. The major problem is that the longer matches were outrageously long (4-5 hours in one sitting). The other problem is that only reason to play it was for achievements, and literally nothing else. Borderlands 2 doesn't improve on this at all; and all they did was add more bad DLC on top of the other lackluster bad DLCs.
There's always been a demand for a good horde mode game on consoles; I'm willing to bet Killing Floor 2 will explode on that basis alone when it officially releases from Early Access. It doesn't need to be on the XBOX ONE; it's still an upgrade from being a PC exclusive.
