Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Re: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

What perks and attachments are you guys running with your weapons?

Perks
For domination I use Flak, Blind Eye, and Hard wired.

I run a paytaek with no attachment and the imr with a red dot.


For any other game in ground war I use a sniper/assult combo
Low profile, blind eye, cold blooded, hard wired
MORS with acog and IMR with foregrip and any one of the sights that I feel like using.

Re: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Perks I use are as follows:

1) Lightweight and Low Profile
2) Peripherals
3) Toughness and Blast Suppressor

Killstreaks I use only two:

1) UAV with support and the directional perk
2) Assault Drone with the rocket perk.

I don't use any grenades or Exo Abilities as I find them totally useless in this game.

So true I wish the triggered area explosive thing did far more damage.

I think I've used the frag grenade over 300+ times and I've only gotten 16 kills. I used to use the Exo Mute ability but realized that even with my Astro A40's you can't hear footsteps anyway. I don't care about hovering or having extra health, I'd rather have that extra point to give myself an extra perk which I've decided to do on all my classes.

Re: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

The only exo ability to even consider is overclock.
I am running mostly perk and attachment -heavy builds.

Re: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

The IMR is by far my favorite weapon. It punches holes through people, you just have to make sure your accuracy is up to par. In this gameplay video from last night, this was my very first game.

There was talk about what score streaks to run. This is a new trio I put together, it is straight abuse when it is scored.

1) System Hack + Exo ability shutdown = 800
2) Warbird + Aggressor auto AI attack = 900
3) UAV + Direction pointer + Support = 900

The way this is setup, if I go on a run which I do often. I will hit all three near the same point and if I keep falling short then I will hit the UAV to help bring in the warbird and system hack at the same time.

In this game I hit them with a Warbird, System Hack, and UAV at the same time. The UAV shows them on map and direction, the system hack has removed their ability to jump or dodge which is HUGE, and then the Warbird scoops up the stragglers. At this point I go on as the aggressor.

I'm running the IMR Elite Thunder Tusk + Parabolic Mic + Sight with some poke and kill gameplay. Locking down lanes is the key with the IMR due to its high range to damage.

26-3 Round

Re: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

I find scavenger my best perk. Since these maps are littered with bodies the ammo is always full.

Re: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

This was couple rounds after the above video. This shows what I mean little more about locking down lanes with the IMR. You will notice I concentrate on just a couple lanes. I am not running all over the map getting killed over and over. Which I think causes all the "shot in the back" complaints. If you utilize the parabolic mic which I think is a must run and keep a constant eye on the map, you will up your KD.

I'm running the stock IMR + parabolic mic + Hybrid sight with a slightly different score streak setup.

1) UAV + support - 700
2) Assault Drone + Machine guns - 750
3) Stock Warbird - 850

I go 25-6-4 on this round and if you watch the map you will see a yellow arrow which is a squad member. I was locking down the center lane, calling out guys who got through headed his way so he prevented guys flanking me on my left, then let the randoms lock down the right side with me flipping from center to right.

Another key perk I like about the IMR, no need to waste a spot on scavenger since it prints ammo. I just hope during weapon balancing it does not get nerfed lol

Re: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

@Phobia,

Your videos with the IMR have me very intrigued and with my next prestige (2) that may be my weapon of choice. Though I will definitely need to adjust my style of play.

@Phobia

I decided to start with the IMR to get the hang of it.

HC Domination 5 matches:
14-18 several captures and defends
22-12...
16-7...
9-9...
14-8...

I did better than I expected, because I'm a bit to impatient with 3 rd burst weapons, but I tried to stay between flags AB or CB.

Not bad, 14-8, 16-7, and 22-12 are not bad rounds. It is a sit and control lanes type of weapon. Which is why I normally run invis exo, because while it is noticeable while moving, sitting still at a distance no one can see you. A more on the move weapon like the Bal suits up well with the speed boost exo.

I ran some matches with the ARX-160 which I have never used last night. It is even more of a slow play weapon than the IMR. I'm not a huge fan of the damage output (default 9) but the accuracy feels real nice(default 11). If I can get the Steel Bite Elite version which bumps the damage to 12, accuracy to 9 equal to the IMR, and fire rate of 9 also equal to the IMR. I might consider using it more, but at the default state & the Elite version the IMR ammo printing surpasses the ARX in almost every area.

ARX-160 Steel Bite
Damage - 12
Accuracy - 9
Fire Rate - 9
Range - 13
Handling - 8
Mobility - 9

IMR Thunder Tusk - Negative 8 rounds than default
Damage - 14
Accuracy - 12
Fire Rate - 9
Range - 9
Handling - 8
Mobility - 10

As you can see IMR has more damage output, better accuracy, same fire rate, lower range, same handling, and better mobility. The only key two stats that jump out are high damage and lower range. Now if we were talking battlefield type map size the range would play a bigger role but in COD maps and average range of shots. You are two burst killing all day with the IMR. The higher mobility is plus and the -8 rounds is not a issue because it will print you ammo. Now with that said, that is the greatest perk of the IMR. I never run out of ammo for it.

Most balanced weapon in game in my opinion. Most tend to favor the Bal, but I'll put my IMR against it in any gun battle and win 2 out of 3.

Re: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

I'm still not sure about this game! I dislike TDM, nearly every time I get spawned on the other side of the map from any team mates, so I spend half the time making sure I'm not shot from 5 directions, and I can't play any objective modes since every lobby I get put in no one plays the objective! Will have to see what the next patch brings I guess

Re: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Damn, Phobia! I put the orbital care package on, with support, with trap, and the chance for higher killstreaks option and I don't think I'll ever go back to a different final killstreak. I've got warbirds, map kill streaks, drones, etc...

I straight owned *** last night.

36-10 Dom
33-14 Dom
26-8 TWM
25-12 KC
28-9 KC
32-6 Dom

(Numbers may be skewed just a tad)
Mors/Acog
IMR



All 3 of my KS are support and it's been beast mode.

Damn that is some beast number Matt!!! How hard is it running the Mors with the Acog, I've seen a few guys using it but thought the sway of the sight would screw up quick scoping with it.

Also I did not realize the orbital care package had support. I knew the UAV and turret did but didn't realize OCP did also. I might have to consider running a full support trio just for the simple fact you going to get them in a round at some point even if it is late. Which in a lot of peoples cases is better than never.

I will just find it really hard for me to get away from the System Hack. I run it a number of ways from disabling exo or running both the extra times. Either way I think it is one of the most powerful streaks just slightly ahead of the bombing running.

As I'm typing this, it just hit me. This might be the perfect setup to run the "streaker" package to carry 4 score streaks. Run the 3 supports and 4th add my beefed up System Hack or Aggressor Warbird.
