Call Of Duty - 2014 Reveal

[Byrnie]

I'm actually glad I wasn't on as I'd probably have been shit because I was so tired.

 

Hopefully it's a big improvement on Ghosts. That was atrocious.

[Allan]

Double XP over this weekend. Won't get online on Saturday, so will have to put some time in on Sunday after I wake up post night shift.

 

Also, if you're signed up to the new AW app, then let us know and I'll drop you an invite to the (TNF) clan. The app said I left the previous clan, TLW_TNF, so I've started this new one.

 

Anything to get that little extra XP...

[Byrnie]

What's the AW app?

[Allan]

What's the AW app?

 

Sorry, the Advanced Warfare companion app. (Link is to the Android version).

 

iOS

 

Windows Phone

[Allan]

You can recreate your famous LiverTurkey so that it can be used as the clan emblem!

[Allan]

Plan to get on not long after the Aberdeen game, this afternoon.

[Byrnie]

Good stuff, Al.

 

I think the Liverturkey should be consigned to the past. Plus, the patent hasn't come through for it yet so I don't want it getting too much exposure.

[Chairman Meow]

That's it I'm definitely not getting this game.

 

If the Liver Turkey is gone then so am I. 

[Byrnie]

Haha. How could I recreate such genius though? I had to have been totally pissed to come up with that.

[Chairman Meow]

It was a beautiful thing, like a RiS MS Paint photo edit.

This app is already pissing me off. Can't sign up.

[Byrnie]

Got it sorted. Pop us an invite please, Al.

[Byrnie]

Just went on and played a TDM without playing the campaign. Got the match winning kill and finished up with a score of 10-5.

Very early feel/impression? Did you play the standard TDM (jumpy boosty one), or the classic, (non-jumpy boosty one)?

 

I'll be on in a bit. Still looking through the app to send you an invite, though I can't find you in the player search...

[Byrnie]

First impressions are good. But that's because I done ok haha.

[Byrnie]

I don't like it at all so far. I quit because it was pissing me off so much. Feels like I'm the only guy in a lobby who doesn't know the maps too.

 

But emptying a full clip of my s12 into someone's back and the opponent turns around and kills me was the final straw. Might give it another bash later, but I think I'll use that combat training thingy before I go back to multiplayer.

The shotguns in this are woeful, I wouldn't bother even attempting use them until they've been buffed in a future patch. In fact, don't bother with a secondary at all. Just fill up your perks and primary attachments.

 

I would recommend using the AK12, and whack a foregrip on it just as soon as you unlock it.

 

Perk wise, Low Profile and Toughness are a must, a toss up between Peripherals and Blind Eye until you unlock the perk 2 greed wildcard.

 

If you're just playing classic TDM, don't bother with the exo stuff, classic is almost back to full on camp fest. They are just a distraction in classic, in my opinion. All you need is a primary, some perks and whatever scorestreaks you prefer.

 

You have to play it real slow and stick to the edges of the map. As soon as you venture into the centre, you're dead in the water as there are so many lines of sight.

 

Once you've more comfortable with the maps, then it's worth trying some other weapons/loadouts.

[Allan]

[Allan]

This is my primary loadout at the moment.

 

[Allan]

[Allan]

K/D above 1 now, Only just, but it's above...!

They seem woeful, but a full clip in someones back from two yards away and no kill is farcical.

 

I'll have to skirt around the edge of the maps until I get to grips with it.

[Allan]

I popped on for an hour or so this evening, but ended up just farting around in private matches against bots, trying out a few of the weapons, attachments and all that jazz. Handy way to learn what weapon suits you, and also helps with map knowledge.

 

Play Online -> Private Match -> Game Setup

 

Everything is unlocked in private matches, so you can try out as much as you want.

[Allan]

Laggy and shit, this afternoon.

[Allan]

Had a few games this evening. Much better. Only the odd lag spike.

 

I even got a message from an unhappy player, calling me a, 'fucking camping cunt', and, 'fucking, cheating scum who ruins the game'.

 

Much success!
