I wonder if Legendary/Rare/Epic duplicates will be worth more KryptoKeys.

I wonder if Legendary/Rare/Epic duplicates will be worth more KryptoKeys. They are. For instance, Epic are worth 10.

Just got 137 keys from burning dupes which feels nice, however I was under the impression that you would be able to burn anything you didn't want(Ie. any non-shotgun camo) as well as dupes. Oh well. So are rare boxes worth buying now?

So, my bitch post about the game:
The networking sucks The lobby balance sucks Group play and group management sucks The hit detection sucks Too many perks and attachments are watered down and underwhelming As of the past week the spawns have been atrocious

Highlight Reel crashes the whole game for me. What it was in Black Ops 2 was not good enough. I kind of doubt it's useful now, but Theater still seems a patch away before I can even evaluate it.
In theory it *could* be a cool feature. They already have a ton of metadata in the form of the medals that drop. If they could let you filter clips by certain medals, and have it staple multiple games together, it wouldn't be half bad, e.g. "show me all my frenzy kills and up from my last 100 matches".

The bad spawns are tied with the maps. The maps are too small to support safe spawns with everyone having free infinite sprint and jetpacks.

Whatever that hotfix was early in the week totally fucked things up. Everyone in my group noticed it almost immediately. Getting killed at spawn 2-3 times in a row is not unheard of now, and it can be accomplished by just one well-placed player. And we regularly see the enemy spawn now.

What game modes? All?
They just seem consistently bad as normal to me.

I don't know about you guys but S&D has perfect spawns.
Also, pressing the reload button while fists are out does a little palm/fist pound animation now.

I had one game this afternoon where I was killed three times in a row in spawn. This game was followed shortly by another one where I was killed in spawn twice in a row. I promptly quit that game to avoid being killed a third time.

Buying CoD Points is useless so long as you're not permitted to buy common packs. I understand they want to milk the player base by forcing them to buy the inferior (rare) pack if they want stuff faster, but 25 rare packs cost $40? That's funny; no thanks.

They should gives fists a taunt animation like a flip off or a MW2 Riot shield hand wave animation. I think people just might be wising up to setting up spawn traps spots now. Like you've been able hold down the trigger with the Cerberus in the small house spawn on Evac and kill the entire enemy team MW3 dome style since launch week. Works on a lot of other maps too as long as none of your teammates run into their spawn; been like that for awhile. Buying CoD Points is useless so long as you're not permitted to buy common packs.

They released the prices for boxes already? Where?

They released the prices for boxes already? Where? I see them for sale on Xbox one. The price structure is clearly listed. It follows the typical business model of buying more means each individual point costs less thanks to "bonus points". Each rare pack is 200 CoD Points. $1.99 for 200, $9.99 for 1100, and $39.99 for 5000 points. There is a listing for 2400, but it doesn't have a price and you get an error when you click on it in an attempt to purchase it. edit: I just noticed they buffed the payout for the Rare packs. Guaranteed weapon or Specialist item now.

You still get 3 items vs 9 items. As long as you get even 1 from 3 common it's never even close to worth.
If they want the 30 one to be worth, make it go extreme in one of two ways: 1) guarantee no dupes, or guarantee at least 1 legendary and 2 rare.

Iunno, Redditbros have been reporting sums up to 20-30 Cryptokeys upon opening Rares, for starters. I'd say they're worth it.

This mirrors what I've experienced. I opened 3 of them yesterday. 2 of the 3 had multiple rare or highers and I got bonus cryptokeys of 10, 5, and 20. The 20 bonus keys was sweeeeet. I'll be buying the rare ones from now on. Plus we earn the keys faster according to the patch notes.

Some observations
Ante up now gives you 100 points instead of 75. Combat axe glows after you throw it so you can pick it up again. Not very good at sniping in this game just went against some bots and well died loads. Aim assist thing is strange....

Buy a XIM like Meggy to abuse snipers.

Yeah, all of my what. Stahp.
Meanwhile, I just got my first set of Control Freeks -- Vortex, to be precise. There's no doubt a substantial grip increase, but we'll see if these are the real deal, accuracy wise~. Maybe it'll make console sniping a viable option? One can hope.
Edit: holy shit it actually can. What a way to spoil me.

Kontrol Freeks really do make a difference. It's small, but a definite improvement. I have them on every xbox controller in my house, and I have like 4 or 5 xbox controllers...
For BO3 though I upgraded from Kontrol Freeks to... a Xim, and holy shit. Yeah.

Debating buying some Control Freeks or PS4 headset
Killstreaks may be weak but they still can swing a game around
