Call of Duty: Ghosts

[NKLCOLT1911]

Why would you not run a secondary weapon, lethal and non lethal grenade? There is no penalty for carrying them might as well have them. You never toss Flash bangs or grenades? At least equip an ied and toss it out.

cause when you dont run those things you get to run more perks, which i feel are way more important that a pistol

[Ohboytimmy]

Ghost has put out a variety of beneficial perks compared to the recent cods. Frags and explosives seem to do less harm in this game. Just what nklcolt was saying you are able to run more perks without secondarys or equipment. Why not make your player perk up with the style of gun and style you are going for. 90% your total kills are from primary weapons. Why not fous on that.

Running out of ammo during a gun fight, you are bound to get killed by the time u throw a frag or pull out your pistol. Everyone saw your gun fire on the mini map and are rushing to hunt you down. Ive never had a problem with ammo using scavenger. Look at the pro player loadouts on you tube. You will notice it

[JP Z]

I thought you only got 1 extra perk point if you didn't have a secondary weapon. I didn't think Grenades counted to add another one.

[Ohboytimmy]

If you forego your secondary and equipment you can use 11 points rather than 8

[JP Z]

Cool, thanks for the info....I still like having an explosive though

[Deitz Dittrich]

I too have no secondary, or explosives ect.. as you get more perks.. I think my K/D is a 1.16 right now.

I know I am going to get torched for this. But this may be my fave COD game yet. As others have said, less to kill. I like buying the stuff I want right away, not having to unlock it.

I like to build my team for the squad things..

The maps are too large, that is my only complaint at the moment.

My biggest AHH-HAAA moment is being able to read the mini map with all its arrows and such telling you if guy is below you or above.. And then reading where all your guys are and predicting where the bad dudes are from that.

[Juan Grande]

Does anyone run Sat Com anymore? Seems completely useless. The fact that you can never see the enemy on the mini-map (unless they shoot) compounds the large map problem.

[fishuhalik]

No kidding?! Good to know. Gonna have to try that the next time I'm on.

You can tell if they're above or below you? How? Guess I never noticed

[Deitz Dittrich]

they dont have to shoot, someone on your team has to see them.. Then if you run the perk wiretap, you can stack the sat com, and get what was previously orbital vsat..

[Deitz Dittrich]

fishu--- next time you look at the mini map, and if they shoot or a team mate call them out with a satcom up, you will see the dot as them. If there is a triangle or pointy thing above the dot, they are on a floor or level above you.. If you see the triangle below the dot, they are on a level below you.

Many people think that this is the way they are facing, not true, only telling you that they are either above you or below you.

The only way to know what way they are facing is by having the perk wiretap and stacking using multiple sat-com at the same time.

Now you're getting it. Reading the mini map well can really step up your game. Its one of the reasons I cant play HC very well. I watch the mini map out of the corner of my eye the whole game. My play style is to move quiet, fast, flank the enemy, catch them in their spawn or watch for gun fights on the radar. This is what lots of good players do and why you should run silencers and "off the grid".

I had no idea you got more perk points for not running equipment. I might have to modify a class and try it out but I still think having the lethal and non lethal grenade benefit way more than one 2 point perk. I also like to equip a grenade launcher secondary for when I pick up the Intel and get "kill an enemy with your secondary" or "kill an enemy with an explosive" makes it easy to get the care package.

[LwnmwnMan2]

I like search and rescue more than K/C.

[DTro]

My Live expired last night, if anyone has a 7 day code from the game they don't intend on using, I'll gladly take it off your hands (via pm) while I search for a good deal on the yearly thing. Thanks

[JP Z]

I gave you a link , wait if you can every couple weeks Buy has a deal for a year for between $35-40

[Juan Grande]

I thought the Sat Coms were supposed to stack as you or teammates threw them out. You actually have to have the wiretap perk for it to work?

[JP Z]

No, the ones on your team stack up to 4 I think. It's just to stack the enemies on to yours you need wiretap.

[DTro]

sweet thanks jp

[DTro]

My understanding is that you can only stack your own sat coms, but to use your teammates or enemies you need wire tap.

[JP Z]

So I'm starting to like this game a bit more now that I've spent some more time with it. It definitely is better played with a group of buds as well it just is. Especially when you have a group of 4 for safeguard...............that can be epic especially if you can get out of the first round

I find the sound to be terribly inaccurate. Same ol issues with lag. I got killed by a dog that was running at me and I was dead by it before it even got to me on my screen. Quite frustrating. Spawning is by far the WORST out of any COD games, it really is a joke. I feel a little bad killing a dude I just spawn next to and even worse when I die 3+ times in a row because I got spawned in front of someone else. All in all its got its positives and negatives like all other CODs. I had a K/d over 2 in BLOPs 2 and now struggle to keep a k/d of 1.4. I wish they had a sniper free playlist as well as a sniper only playist. Maybe its because I only have a 32in screen but it seems very hard to see the other team. Campaign was fun but so easy even on veteran.
