I discovered today you can shoot down a Wraith when it's stealthed with a single well aimed missile. If this was mentioned somewhere else I must have missed it. This makes them pretty easy to take down, since they arrive stealthed. re: stability, yeah I have noticed some issues. In the campaign even, it crashed to the xbox menu screen/tiles (whatever that's called) within about 5 seconds of the opening scene. That also happens periodically in multiplayer. It's like I am playing on a PC or something...

also I've noticed that on semi autos there's a new mechanic with oversampling the max fire rate, instead of just not shooting when you pull the trigger too quick it will shoot after the delay, its very noticeable if you have used semis a lot in the past, it almost feels awkward because you don't even need to time your shots anymore, I'm not sure how i feel about this.

^yeah, you could do this with semis/bursts in destiny. I just called it queueing shots.
Queuing shots also works with melee, bolts, pumps, and bursts.

Lack of any counter to awareness until higher levels is rather annoying. Starting to think that sound whoring perks should be removed from the game or given only to one weapon class aka shotguns. Most good players are running nothing but awareness including myself. Awareness is far and away the best perk. It's a must have. I feel sorry for all the poor folks who see me on killcam just sitting there, waiting for them to pop out around the corner. They should make dead silence available before awareness, probably. $1000 says they nerf awareness at some point. It's about as good as sit rep pro from modern warfare 2/3, except it doesn't deaden the footsteps of teammates as much. Yea I don't get that design choice at all. Sort of nerfed it but still very powerful given movement in this game. About right feels like the MW3 version using pair of rubbish headphones rather good, don't have the ability to tell direction. First unlock token is going towards DS it would appear. Right now I can see 3 perks being king of FFA. Can see Treyarch nerfing it without a doubt not sure how.

I would bet against the nerf, because DS is the going to be the first thing everybody uses their prestige unlock token on BTW, how effective does DS counter Awareness?

I believe DS makes your footsteps go back to what a base-line sound is.
Three levels you hear at:
3. Hearing amplified step sounds from the enemy.... You have 'awareness' perk on, the opponent has nothing on (ie, no DS attached). BEST CASE 2. Hearing regular step sounds from the enemy...... 1) Both people have nothing on, 2) You have 'awareness', opponent has 'Dead Silence' 1. Hearing almost nothing from the enemy........... You have nothing on, and the opponent has 'Dead Silence' perk put on.
From what I gather reading the boards, there is almost NEVER a valid reason for anyone to be at level 1. ie, you should always have the 'Awareness' perk put on.

Just how good is Kinetic Armor, anyway? Will it help you capture those treacherous B flags?

Just how good is Kinetic Armor, anyway? Will it help you capture those treacherous B flags? It's just mediocre. Even if you get it 4 times a game it's essentially just 20 seconds of having a MW3 ballistic vest a game. It's good against Haymaker users though. It blocks soundwhoring as you're deaf while you're in it with superloud buzzing sounds. As for B flag capping? It doesn't really help much Vs Xplosives. Use the Tempest/Warmachine/MLG spikes to clear the B-flag.

Been playing bunch of FFA to get the Haymaker headshots and decided to use.
Sixth Sense Tracker Awareness
Add dead silence to the mix you pretty much have one of the best classes for FFA. Maybe you could remove Sixth Sense. Vision pulse is another great thing to use in FFA. Spawns in FFA are still pretty crazy but no longer spawning in people. Haymaker is okay but you can get shutdown pretty easy.

WHY DOES THEATER MODE SUCK SO MUCH?
All they needed to do was copy BO1's theater mode.
Can't save games. Can't edit games. Can't invite people to a lobby to watch a game.
The saving games one is a big surprise. They have around 180 of my recent games viewable. Why won't they let me use some of that room to permanently save one?

yeah that ruins it for me, unless I am missing something? I also notice it weirdly does not capture every game. I have to bookmark games to be sure they will get saved now for me to look at later.

Sound whoring perks are amazing in FFA and feel sorry for people without dead silence. The Annihilator can one-shot UAVs. Oh my. Same as the Beta Pretty sure all scorestreaks can be destroyed very quickly with super powers randomness.

I attest to that, what with grinding FFA camos. It's... it's just so criminal how you can literally wait on someone to turn the corner.
Really makes you feel like the leopard staring down an oblivious fat kid. First token spend's looking to be Dead Silence, no doubt.

FFA is unfortunately already dead on PC. Also the Haymaker has gone from popular to literally not existing anymore.
Good work DJ.

Even that doesn't work, I've bookmarked games that never showed up. And there's no slow mo. Only goes 1x-6x. There's no reason to use it really.

First token spend's looking to be Dead Silence, no doubt. I did this and I'm 100% satisfied with my decision. One of the only perks that just secures free kills by itself; I see it as a free experience boost. Some other things I am impressed with that I want to unlock: Scavenger (more free kills), Argus (best shotty+too much fun), Dredge (The true AR), and Nomad (free SnD wins).

Argus (best shotty+too much fun) If it's the best shotty then why did it get buffed and the Haymaker nerfed? Clearly one week of metrics say otherwise.

FFA is unfortunately already dead on PC. Also the Haymaker has gone from popular to literally not existing anymore. Good work DJ. Spawns on the maps which meant to work for FFA are terrible so not missing much. Seen people spawn behind me inside me next to me, got my first fury kill due to FFA. I'll attest to that, what with grinding FFA camos. It's... it's just so criminal how you can literally wait on someone to turn the corner.
Really makes you feel like the leopard staring down an oblivious fat kid. First token spend is looking to be Dead Silence, no doubt. Been using nothing but shotguns so I don't feel dirty or cheap doing it just feels fair. Part of me thinks that shotguns should be only weapons in the game which get access to sound whoring level of perks. If they remain this weak should gain major bonus say faster movement speed, higher jumping, sound whoring perks. Based on what I played so far only one or two maps work for shotguns even in FFA. Do like oblivious fat kids using ARs and SMGs.

Anyone can play with an M8A1 and kill people easily. Anyone can lie down with their gorgon and ping-ping someone across the map. Anyone can hold down the trigger and haymaker some fools...but then again you could do that with an SMG. Not everyone can use an unforgiving gun like the argus that is completely unfair to your opponents if you have good accuracy. ...plus I've seen a bunch of people try to hipfire exclusively with it... lol That might throw off the metrics.

He's being sarcastic lol. The metric is a bad one anyway. It should compare the weapon's kd with the player's overall kd.
No noob uses the Haymaker or XR-2

The 1887 was clearly head and shoulders above the other shotguns to anyone with eyes however it got buffed and it's inferior brother the Haymaker caught a nerf.

But you can't do anything with your videos, so yeah there is no point. I still can watch my Black Ops 1 highlight reels from that games excellent theater mode if I am feeling extra loser-ish.

How do you do slow-mo? And you can record the theater Mode recording but the quality isn't as good as just recording the game live. So just gonna record each game individually with the share feature.

Noticed loads of people are using a suppressor in FFA which makes no sense given the mode. TDM plays super slow and killstreaks should be more common 3 kills = one UAV. Same for FFA in my eyes.
One thing I have noticed is loads of people running attachments over perks
