Teabagging was better in BFBC2. At least the enemy would get the killcam of you looking at them while droppin nuts.

Michael Myers as a "playable" character?

Not bringing Michael Myers as a playable game mode?

Obey The D

Not to mention you run around with an axe. No kitchen knife? Have these guys ever seen Halloween?

My guess is they wanted to use Jason originally but couldn't obtain the rights.

Matthew Chmiel

"Michael Myers" is actually a popular, custom game mode that started with Modern Warfare.

I get why Infinity Ward chose Michael Myers, but they dropped the ball. No fucking surprise.

Rob V

Does this game feature the awesome "quick scope" cheat? Because there was a guy online last night that completely dominated using a rifle and scope --- didn't matter if he was up close or at sniping distance.

Raul3

Yes

Rob V

It's BS -- one shot one kill most of the time.

I did have my best game yet on Ghosts. Playing KC I went 20-1-19 by securing a room and getting a couple of dogs and a couple of sentries. Nobody could get to me yet they kept trying.

Prestige Edition is up as a gold box deal right now on PS3, PS4, 360 & XO for $99.99. The Hardened Edition goes up in another 2 hrs.

mattysemo247

And the Hardened Edition is $69.99, so not as good of a deal

Matthew Chmiel

Uh, are you kidding?

You realize it comes with the $50 season pass too, right?

mattysemo247

Yep. And at only 21% claimed with 12 mins to go, it doesn't seem like there was much interest.

Matthew Chmiel

It doesn't help Microsoft is currently selling the Hardened Edition for $54.99 for the 360 version of the game either.

Or the game sucks. That could possibly be it too.

Either way, I wish I would've paid $64.99 for the Hardened Edition rather than the $94.99 I did spend for it on street date.

Tarantino

Bingo.

Raul3

Also, hardcore players get those special editions on release date. Because there are savings even then.

Rob V

I don't think the game sucks... it just hasn't evolved enough. The single player is excellent, IMO. The MP is much improved from BLOPS2 with respect to lag.

I still think that if the Battlefield series could introduce killstreak rewards it would be the best MP game ever.

Great trailer.

Love the idea of being Codnapped

nickdawgy

Is that Al Capone?

Dan

I finally finished the single player campaign last night.
Not bad... and it definitely had some tense missions/moments, but overall... nothing special.

Raul3

I'm so addicted to MP that I haven't been able to continue the SP.

Rob V

^^ Same. I'd like to know what you all are using for your loadouts.

I mostly run with the K7 with red dot and then Agility, quick reload, marathon, hardline and extra grenade (or IED in this case).

Matthew Chmiel

For Search and Destroy/Search and Rescue:

Weapon: Honey Badger with Foregrip and Armor Piercing
Perks: Stalker, Takedown, Dead Silence, Off the Grid, Blast Shield Pro
Support: Ammo Crate, Ballistic Vests, Support Squadmate

For everything else:

Weapon: LMG with Foregrip and (whatever operation attachment I'm working on)
Perks: Ready Up, Marathon, Stalker, Quickdraw, Focus
Assault: IMS, Sentry Gun, Enemy Hind (can change based upon operations)

Dan

When playing multiplayer, how often does the Free Fall map come up for those of you that have it?
I've never (meaning: not a single damn time) seen it come up. The only way I can play on that map is if I go into Squads mode, start a local-only game, and choose that map.

Squads mode is actually kind of nice... for someone like me who sucks at "true" multiplayer.

Obey The D

It only shows up in Moshpit.

Dan

Thanks. That absolutely makes sense, which is why I didn't think of it.
