All you Xboxers and PC players, Dlc1 The Resistance is available next Thursday March 1st. Interested to see what you boys think of them! I know on PS4 when they come up I vote for one of the 9 original maps. So no I don’t really like them

Same for me. The new war map is the worst as well

Is it? Quick scoping takes far more skill than the likes of shotguns, ARs and SMGs. Buffing all of them while making snipers worse just leads to more try hards and games that are less fun. Very hard for a team of snipers to spawn trap whereas it's very easy with the other weapons.

Screw the Quickscopers, they need to make it like Black Ops3. That is not how the sniper riifles are supposed to be used. And btw this update didn’t go far enough as quickscoping is still happening. They will have to do more changes to the mechanics.

How much is that dlc? 20 quid? For what 3 mp and 1 zombie map?
I picked up Battlefield premium for 12.50

Easy decision.

€15 plus you also get the War map.

Hahaha. You think in a game with small maps in which you die in 2 or 3 bullets from an SMG and an AR and one from a shotgun that the people who can aim and shoot a free aim gun in a faster time than someone can kill them with one of those weapons is at some sort of disadvantage?

If they were using ARs and SMGs they would have more kills because they are easier weapons to use. People don't like things that kill them that they can't do I guess. This is coming from someone who isn't even good at it. It's just the most fun way to play imo.

No arguments on the skill factor. It definitely take a lot of practice to do it consistently well

My problem is that it's essentially taking advantage of a glitch in the game mechanics. A sniper shouldn't be able to fire until the gun is fully scoped in IMO. Let alone as the the gun is half-way pulled up.

I know CoD has always been more arcade shooter than hyper-realistic sim but the fact that quickscoping is still even a thing is a bit of a pisstake

It's been a thing since the very start. It is the game for a lot of people. No scoping doesn't really work how it should if you follow the way the other guns work. Should they get rid of the ability to hip fire all guns accurately so? Quick scoping the gun is fully scoped in, just not for long. They could just use a shotgun instead and it'd be a lot easier from close in so I really don't see the problem.

Ultimately, it's like getting beaten 4-0 in FIFA and saying 'oh if he wasn't doing all those skill moves that you can't do in real life I'd have won'. Realistically he'd probably have beaten you 7 or 8 nil if he'd been playing intensely the whole time.

They must be afk tie a rubber band around the controller to keep it moving don’t get kicked and earn points like on gun game? Do you get much points for loosing or getting no kills in War?

It’s weird in the first game the guy was actively running as far away as possible and lying down. Next 2 games they were just afk. Nothing fancy like rubber band literally just standing there. Don’t think you get much for losing and not killing building destroying etc. I just found it weird tonight as I haven’t really seen it before and then 3 games in a row

It counts as a completed game for a contract though?

Lads not sure if many of you play hardcore mode but there is a hardcore ricochet double xp playlist live at the moment they will then have a twitter poll tomorrow for players to keep ricochet mode in hardcore which is what I certainly prefer because if you earn a fire bombing run and idiot teammates decide to walk through it and die you are going to get kicked which isn’t fair or some idiot.teammate accidentally nades you and you are one off your killstreak. So I’ll be voting to keep it

Snake Plisken

Here is the twitter poll as discussed in last post please vote for ricochet as you might not play hardcore modes but if you are trying to get easy headshots for gold and diamond weapon camos hardcore hardcore is the best mode for it.

So I think this is a fantastic update the addition of the HQ tab means you don’t have to leave the lobby and go back to the Headquarters to get new orders you can also visit the quartermaster etc.
I blew all my saved up all my armory credits to get two new weapons M-38 SMG something slightly off about this even in hardcore I was getting hit markers haven’t tried the MG-81 LMG yet.
Nice to see new camos for weapons and the weapon charms. Nice bonus to have Shipment 1944 and Leprechaun hunt mosh pit
At least the new guy in charge is changing things up and trying his best to make it fun for players!

Is there a new war map coming anytime soon to those that haven't bought the pack?

Agree with all of this. HQ tab is a great addition. much quicker to get orders etc. Played last night and never went into HQ.

I was the same with the new weapons. bought them from credits in the collection. The SMG is a hitmarker machine. In fairness was trying it on shipment but was beaten by just about every other weapon.

Volks is still brilliant.

How do you get the shamrock camo, supply drop only?

Adamcp898

Haven't loaded this game up since Winter Siege ended........any sign of the Gun Game mode since?

Was a great mode for a short burst of play, no idea why they didn't make it permanent.
