I'm grinding the Blackcell camos and just have to finish the last one, which is 10 triple kills. I feel like it's as much luck as anything, since you have to have three enemies in proximity, and enough ammo to take them out without reloading. Currently I'm running Vigilance, Ghost, and Cold Blooded. Is there an optimal loadout and perks to accomplish this, or is it just going to be a weeks long grind?
Whats all the fuss about?
I just got BO7 yesterday and have been playing it all day multiplayer and zombies and having an absolute blast. This isnt the dumpster fire that all these people and youtubers online were making it out to be. Ive been playing COD since 2005 and took a break after MWII (2022) because i wasnt that crazy about the game and didnt really want to play a modern warfare 2 years in a row so i just decided to get into other games for a few years. But man ive been playing COD for 20 years and this one is one of those good ones! Ive heard even from the biggest fans that the campaign is genuinely pretty bad so im not even gonna bother playing. And all that talk online about “cod is dying” “Bo7 all time low sales and player numbers” had me thinking like dang this one must be awful and COD is losing relevance. But looking deeper into it, Cod is like consistently top 1-4 most played games on console rotating with games like Fortnite Roblox and Minecraft. For a game thats “out of its prime and completely dead” i’d say thats pretty impressive😂 also people look at these steam numbers as an indicator that no one plays COD and everyone was playing battlefield but that ended up just not being true, 60% of Battlefields playerbase is on steam. Probably less than 5% of COD’s playerbase is on steam. A lot of PC players probably want to get it on gamepass I have to assume.
I know i did a lot of rambling but to summarize, the narratives (for the most part) are wrong around this game and its really fun. And the people saying the game is dead and no one plays it are just straight up lying.
Long story short I've played since bops 1 and pretty much fell in love with using sniper rifles as nerfed or as they were. Since then I kind of played casually but I have brought out my gaming desktop from storage and I was wondering if I could buy a controller or something to prevent drifting?
It was a long time ago but I do remember my 360 controllers eventually having drift from use. Is there something I can do to avoid this?
Do double XP tokens work for camo challenges? I'm almost finished with the zombies and multiplayer challenges, is it worth waiting for the double XP weekend to complete them? I started playing this COD about 20 days ago, im not sure if double xp work for camos
I click on the game on gamepass and it makes me install some launcher and all the other games before it ? What the fuck is this ? I never asked to install the other games ?
I am sorry idk how to take a screenshot on the Xbox controller for the home page. On ps it’s easier but Xbox ui is built using gods will and a bunch of zip ties so yeah I had to click a picture on the phone.
No reason i should get 2 tapped
Anybody knows why I can't use my finishing moves that I acquired from Battle Pass against bots in private matches? It always reverts to the default Ripped Through move.
Does anybody know the workaround or fixes to this?
Was wondering which ar yall think is the best for the rapid fire mod, l've tried the m17 and voyak so far hard to tell which is better, l've heard m15 has a good rapid fire, but for long and med range which is the best?
Got my first two VTOLS and
Disappointment
Got instantly deleted the first match and second match the whole team left. Even though they were winning.
Something tells me this is going to take like 4 months to complete
I did it on accident once and now Idk how to go back or what it is.
With all their tech and weapons and gear, has Mason's team never before heard about the invention of 'Gas masks'?
All throughout their time in Avalon they are constantly being dosed up by The Cradle like absolute crack-fiends, and yet not once do any of them think to shut their fuckin' mouths or cover their face to avoid exposure? Despite how much more difficult it makes their mission by losing their damn minds and spazzing out all the time.
There's even a bloody finishing move in Multiplayer where they pop a 'Cradle' grenade and then cover their face to avoid exposure before shooting the victim.
Ai wrote this story, right? Surely. I find it hard to believe any qualified writers received an actual payment of actual wages from actual employment at Treyarch after writing this.
And how do they share hallucinations? They have cybernetic implants, yes, but The Cradle is a chemical weapon, not a digital virus, it should have no bearing on their neural chips, and should only be able to affect them through direct exposure via their bloodstream/airways 🤔
Right now in its current state the scrambler is the most oppressive/unbalanced field upgrade in the game, completely ruining high score streak play and ultimately making them useless. Here are all the issues with this field upgrade and why I feel it needs a massive overhaul
The most obvious counter. The issue with this is that while vigilance gets rid of the grey circle, the effects of the scrambler persist. So, while the grey circle is gone, your HARP/UAVs STILL do not show up in the AOE of the scrambler. This is a HUGE problem, as without the grey circle you can have false confidence throughout a game with your HARP only to find out that the enemies had a scrambler which you had no idea about thanks to vigilance making it harder to find.
It makes no sense for the perk to remove the grey circle but still keep the effect, as what is the point then in removing the grey circle? This is like if the counter uav still blocked your red dots/triangle on the minimap as a vigilance user (newsflash, it doesn't)
The scrambler has an infinite time span on the map. This means if you do not destroy it, it will be there the entire game. This genuinely makes no sense. It is a field upgrade, meaning people keep earning them throughout the game. Why does it have an indefinite lifespan then?
3.HKDs
This is another high streak that is made completely useless with this field upgrade. This genuinely seems unfair. Im all for counter play and the way cold blooded works (each individual has to equip it). But if just one teammate runs a scrambler (odds are they will in every game), this score streak is nullified against your entire team.
4.Permanent effect bug
In exclusive aces video there has been a bug identified where even those no in the radius have the permenant effect of the scrambler (making the HARP/UAVs even more useless). As if this thing couldn't get worse.
Overall this field upgrade is far too impactful, and is like a suped up counter uav anybody can earn for simply existing on the map. It needs to be severely nerfed and the counter perks need to be completely reworked, OR they need to straight up remove it. This was not an issue early on in the game but now people have caught on and it is ruining the game flow for high streak users.
Edit: Seems I touched a nerve with the more casual base which don’t get streaks enough to be impacted lmao. Doesn't change the fact this is unbalanced compared to the rest of the field upgrades.
Normally I play ranked or just camo grind and I decided that I just wanted to use meta guns and try to play well for the 1-2 hours I was able to play and I had some thoughts that I wanted to share.
One personal thing that’s now about how the game plays is holy shit I am awful at earning streaks, I always die just shy and it’s infuriating. Whether I’m playing slow to get there or with pace, doesn’t matter
1.) This game feels real good like 92% of the time. It’s fun smooth and the maps, for me are real fun and have a good flow (except retrieval, I hate that map)
2.) The ion core might be one of the worst streaks ever added to cod. It is very powerful but it is so annoying how the flow of the map is completely ruined. Though I looked up counters after and I didn’t know there were, apparently none of my teammates do either.
3.) I always have the worst teammates ever, idk mean in like a team balancing way like this sub loves to complain about I mean like I’m 1 shot and I’m hiding in a corner to regen and my teammates will mimic stormtroopers on the enemy trying to kill me
4.) I really really miss the pick 10 system. It’s obnoxious that every match of Hardpoint is just made spam, and I understand there’s counters but it’s still annoying that everyone in the lobby gets a lethal and tactical right off the rip. And that’s not even assuming if they double up the lethal or tactical or if there’s assault packs around. And a small nitpick is that if they need the classes to be like this pleaseeeeee add scorestreaks by class.
5.) I also really miss the old attachment system. I like that there is such a variety of what attachments are able to do however I also think that’s a detriment. Every single gun shoots straight as fuck and is hyper mobile with no downside. Which you used yo be able to do but at the expense of some perks your lethal/tactical. I
Make tbe most out of it but sometimes less it better
6.) I hate SBMM but not the way that all the defenders of it assume. When it starts to kick in in a certain lobby I can tell very early into a match. My ping goes up 10-30 and I start getting melted in gunfights, could be a bit of desync due to the ping increase?
7.) I love the Weapon prestiging and camo system in this game. It feels so rewarding having something to grind for, the universal camo, then being able to try to max each weapon after that.
8.) The haters say this game has too much movement for casual players but man sometimes I get killed by the bottiest of bots and all I can think to myself is “welp gg”
9.) I think my last thought is that I enjoy the balancing. It’s not perfect as it never is in cod however, I enjoy that pretty much everything can get play. There are and will always be op things however you really can use just about every in the game and have fun which is very very nice. I feel like in a lot of these post covid cods, if you arent using meta weapons, youre at a disadvantage off the rip
We all know that team matchmaking is very lopsided, especially for solo players. Anyone else find Overdrive the worst for running solo?
Even if my team sucks in other modes, I’ll at least get my kills in. With Overdrive, it’s much harder to do well when your team is feeding kills.
Theres genuinely only one map I've played that's even been close to this bad and no it's not from ghost Santa Cruz boarder crossing... Bet I just gave you PTSD that's what I get every time I see this map.
I am 10/18 on scorestreaks and I am beginning to lose my mind.
Are there any known issues with hit reg or desync going on since season 3? Something feels off to me since this season launched where my shots aren't landing the same and I'm getting insta-killed left and right
Vigilance counters Scramblers, so we don’t see them on the minimap.
But I run HKDS, which are countered by Scramblers. I call in HKDS only for it to be countered by enemy Scramblers that were already there, and I had no way of knowing because they don’t appear on the minimap.
There should be empty circles on the minimap showing where enemy Scramblers are placed.
