Which system? I've never run into that on PS4 (other than the Lizard Squad period).
This game is frustrating as hell, but I'm actually having a good time with it. I'm learning the maps, so I'm able to camp with better success now. My kdr is steadily rising. I honestly don't get some of the hate I'm hearing about it.
I'm convinced CoD is just the Saturday Night Live of the video game world. The current one always sucks until a new one comes out and then everyone wishes it was like the previous one. I remember people hating on Blops2 and even MW2 when they first came out, and now they're regarded as two of the best.

I hate campers.
I played a couple of rounds in the classic play deathmatch mode and it sucked. It's slow as hell. I love the EXO suits.

To be fair - it's a love/hate relationship. I hate campers when they kill me but I love them when they just sit there thinking that I won't re-spawn and come after them. They're still there sometimes and I just stand over them or behind them and give them a rabbit punch or point blank death.

I'm still loving the game and my dumb ass just realized you can sell all that bullshit supply drop shit you get after matches I mean, I knew there was redeemable loot but I didn't think you could redeem it for XP - I went from a level 32 or something to 39 - fastest rank up ever
I thought I would get tired of the exo-suit after a while but I haven't - It's a convience in this type of game and I think that's why I like it so much.

Exo Zombies? While I thought Extinction mode on Ghosts was the only highlight of that entry, this is more similar to Zombies mode on the Treyarch titles. No "end goal," but similar game play if not harder. There's some tweaking that could improve the gameplay via patches and future DLC, but it's a solid attempt.
The Havoc DLC? The maps have too much going on and Sledgehammer has only made two playlists available: Team Deathmatch and Moshpit. Are you kidding me? I liked what Infinity Ward did for Ghosts in regards to DLC playlists (as the maps will not be integrated into regular rotation for the next two-to-three months):

- Playlist for hardcore modes (TDM, KC, DOM, S&R, etc).

Exo Zombies is way like Black Ops. Fun, but impossible solo.
The new maps are great imo.
I am a TDM guy so the playlist thing doesn't bother me at all.
I am mostly bummed the Widowmaker and its vanilla variant aren't available to me.

I started it and it seemed like zombies from the other games. Hit things to turn on power, buy weapons from the wall, upgrade from the wall, etc. I was playing solo so it didn't last very long.

So I d/l. the season pass but the Havoc list isn't showing up for me. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the game and Season Pass... wtf? Any ideas?

So the oddest thing... I received the AE4 as a Supply Drop bonus and when I went to d/l it, the system re-downloaded the Havoc pack and now everything works. Crazy and frustrating.
I also see why you guys are upset -- to only be able to play TDM or Moshpit is inexcusable.

Played some last night and honestly, I'm terrible. I usually end up in the middle to bottom third. Once in a great while i'll tear shit up and be top dog. So yesterday I gotta think my internet connection was messed up or something because I couldn't move 15 feet without getting blasted... in EVERY single one on one encounter where it couldn't have been a 50/50 chance of taking the guy out, I lost. In my last match, I was 0-16 playing Hardpoint before I turned off the game in frustration. I'm bad, but not that bad. I'm seriously considering not playing this game anymore; the frustration levels have me thisclose to breaking the disc in half.

I've actually gotten much better at this game. I honestly think the secret is finding a good lobby to play in more than anything. I don't know if that means finding one with good connections, or one where the skill based match making makes you the top of the lobby instead of the bottom.
Whichever it is, I go from having 0.3 to 0.8 kdrs in one lobby, to immediately switching rooms and having 3.0, 5.0, and even an 11.0 (this exact example happened to me last night). If I'm getting crushed I just leave and find a new lobby.
Something needs to be fixed.

I went about 3 weeks where I was "much better" too. I'd get 2-3 Bombing runs in a match... now I'm lucky to a UAV.
Anybody know when the d/l maps get moved over to normal play?

The Havoc DLC will be added into "regular rotation" in March/April when the next round of DLC is released.
