Mountain division is great once you get the silent movement. I use that and pick up an SMG. Seem to be pretty effective for me so far and people don't expect you to get the drop on them.

I'm running different weapons within each division, not the set ones.

There is a 1v1 pit in HQ. Anyone tried it?

Ooooooh footsteps are loud again. They were non existent in the beta which had me worried. And if you are on Xbox: does anyone else notice Windows Sonic makes them even louder or is it just me?
I've been having fun so far but I wonder if this title is going to get boring quicker. There are 9 maps (!) and the class load-out system seems sort of lame to me.
I do like the idea of buying contracts with payroll. Not totally sure how I feel about the whole HQ thing. Like in the beta the UI is kind of confusing.
But enough with the meta talk, which gun is the best, bros? That's why we are all here right?

wow only 9 maps?
Have been watching some footage from mister fruit, and the ship maps seems awfully small. Are the other maps equally small? Thinking about buying (mostly for zombies) but if everything is a clusterfuck once again, I am out.
Also, any word or guesstimate on when pay to win arrives? Will it be a while or is it around the corner?

I like the bipod mechanic for LMGs. I spend so much time prone in one place, it's a natural fit.

I'm not sure why people (this board) is making a big deal of the supply crate system. Obsessing on this. Yes, at the end of the game some people 'win' a supply crate. So what? It's hardly noticeable in the process (I didn't even notice this until like game 30) and right now, based on what I have seen, the only thing to win is purely cosmetic in nature. A grip cammo. Extra XP. So what's the big deal? There isn't any. It doesn't affect gameplay at all from what I have seen so far. And if Activision wants to make an extra buck on people who want to spend cash for gun cammos, whatever.
I don't know where you are getting that from, but that's a bit unrealistic or heavily biased. I'm not doing well at all in this game right now coming from D2, but I got to be fair about what I have seen so far. I have played 70 games as of this morning, I haven't seen one crash yet, not one disconnect, zero games-in-progress, and not one single wonky death due to lag or other weird networking stuff. The game runs super smooth. The graphics are better than ever. 60 fps. Tons of game options. CoDcaster. Private 1v1 lobbies. Private matches so one can go explore the maps. Even the maps are pretty interesting. They aren't all 'smg maze' maps. Some of small, some are big, some have very long sightlines.
Tons of other stuff ....all of this Destiny 2 does not have in it's PvP. I hate to sound like a cheerleader, but this game appears to be delivering exactly what it promised, boots on the ground old school CoD fun. It's doing it very well. Again, I say all the above as a person who isn't even doing well at the game and right now, is a bit frustrated with it.
Right now, there's really not a lot of reasons to rip into this game.

Thinking about buying (mostly for zombies) but if everything is a clusterFoxtrot once again, I am out. Also, any word or guesstimate on when pay to win arrives? Will it be a while or is it around the corner? If you hang out on this board, all you are going to read about is "Pay to win" hysteria from people who haven't even bought the game. As someone who has the game, there is no pay to win right now. Just 'level up to win'. Which is fair. Play more, level up, get some better stuff to kill with. The maps are NOT all smg-maze maps. In fact, some of the maps even feel to big for modes like HC TDM. So this is non-news too. Some maps are big, some feel small. There's a mix. The one thing I wish it did have was like a Pick 10 system, so one could tweak their playstyle a bit more. This area seems to be lacking, which I did wish it have. I need to figure this out a bit more.

I need to figure this out a bit more. The pay to win is not hysteria though I think. In BO3 there actually were guns, which you could only get from loot crates, which gave you a distinct advantage in PvP. They were introduced later, and will be introduced later in this game too. It is not a question on if, but a question of when. If they are introduced in a few months, I honestly don't care, I don't see myself playing this games PvP in a few months. But if it is going to be a few weeks, I am not going to bother buying this game. Good to hear the maps are not all small. Still though, I still have to see one of the bigger maps in a video. Overall, cod has been smaller and smaller. The weapon of choice doesn't perse make it a large or small map, because small maps can have large sight lines still. I want to be able to take more than 2 lanes. I want to be able to actually play a flank, taking the right lane instead of the left is not flanking imho. I want to be able to question myself, "where is the enemy". Instead of knowing, oh they are on the other side of the map. That ship map seems really too small for my to have any fun, and if previous CODs map voting where any indication, everybody seems to constantly vote for the smallest map. That in combination with only having 9 maps, makes me quite hesitant to buy it right now...

I get what you are saying, but it is a bit of hysteria when the game comes out, and 'pay to win' is not there yet people are still obsessing on it. It's not in the game as of now. Doesn't look like it will be a month or two from now either. Yes, it might be there six months from now, but who knows? I might be dead in four months. If you like this type of FPS game, love the idea of going back to boots on the ground, there's no reason NOT to play this, especially if it's fear of what MAY happen in May of 2018.
Here's the list of maps
•Aachen - three lane, cluttered, kind of interesting •Ardennes Forest •Flak Tower - small •Gibraltar - very maze like •Gustav Cannon - wide open, feels huge. •London Docks •Pointe Du Hoc •Sainte-Marie-du-Mont •USS Texas - on a ship, feels very small •Carentan (for Season Pass only)
There are 3 War mode operations: •Operation Breakout •Operation Griffin •Operation Neptune – takes place on Omaha Beach during D-Day

As far as gameplay, this is my favorite since Ghosts. That may or may not mean much, though.

I think this is the biggest map, in terms of being open
Gustav Cannon
Aachen, ...I think I like this one the best so far.

He plays a ton of MWR which has a ton of guns locked behind loot boxes. Same with BO3 but he got soured on it as more loot box items were released. He's got a limit to how much he can take and it mostly comes down to how much he likes the game itself. IW is pretty much the only modern CoD he's refused to play. I wouldn't call him a shill but he definitely owes his career to Activision. I’m pretty sure he owes his career to himself, otherwise we’d all be YT famous. And he hasn’t published a MWR video in 2 months. He’s pretty heavy in PUBG (I don’t get the draw) and prepping for WW2. I know it’s cool to hate on him around here, but, come on. You don’t like his content? Don’t like the products he endorses? That’s all cool, I get it. But saying the man is a shill or a fraud is just ridiculous. Bringing this back up, as this youtube channel I sort of watched addresses this point for point and this one (a little off on another topic) I love this line.... "If you go talk to your friend, who's not one of those pimple popping asperger syndrome walking around with Tourette's gamma lab's sniffing retarded kids, wearing those optic ray gunner glasses on so he doesn't get eye strain because his body is so weak as his eyes can't evem handle watching a monitor..."

How could MLG ruin call of duty when it was the players themselves that created that demand for MLG to exist? Players ruin multiplayer experiences and will continue to and the gaming business as a whole as the whales are primarily in pvp games.

So whats up with the KAR? Does anyone else notice lots of quickscope heroes working that gun?
I tried it out with bots and it does indeed feel very forgiving when you quickscope it. I.e., time the shot just right so the hitbox/aim assist is just right. Or whatever that exploit used to be. (Am I remembering that right?)

It's kind of an interesting story and it relates to current events, with how most everyone on this board hates how Activision monetizes their games with things like supply drops, CoD points and other things. The above older story talks about, alleges that youtubers (like Driftor) were being paid by Activision to be hacks, sell that crap without disclosing being on the payroll.

Is it suitable for mixamp pro - HD598s? Also are the footsteps comparable to BO3 or old school CoD? Also is the spawn system decent in this game?
