I had Black Ops on the PS3 and it took around 4 months to iron itself out and just when things were looking up; we had the PSN outage!
I even tried locale only which improved the connection but the lobbies were riddled with the French and Germans. Basicallly a Euro-campathon.
It did improve after the summer but by then, I had no more hair to tear out!
I know of four different drops via Field Orders for specific maps:
Strikezone - KEM (moab essentially killing all opponents and altering the map)
Soverign - Halon Gas (Why FFS? You blind the other team......and your own players for two minutes! Not sure if this kills or is just pointless for everyone)
Warhawk - Mortar Fire (Mortar strikes on specific areas of the map for one minute)
Whiteout - Satellite Crash (Dish collapses onto an area of the map C side)
Is there any other key killstreak drops on other maps from Field Orders?
Just beat the game in 7 minutes lol! Thankfully there seems to be many ways to do it. I went the routine way but I will mix it up on my next playthrough
Some great tips there! I haven't really sniped since the MW2 days but I will be getting back into it especially with those over-sized maps. Great to see sniping done the proper way and I am glad IW didn't bow down to the tryhard scopers like they did on the very QS generous MW3.
Any tips on classes I can take into squads first?
This is the campiest game since MW2 no doubt.
Black Ops 2 seemed to bring the best out of the COD community but modes like Kill Confirmed and Domination in Ghosts are just unbearable now.
Getting shot of HQ and HP was a bad idea.

Looks like it was attempting to make an emergency landing in what is a very populated and built-up area. Those Eurocopter 135's are quite lightweight so it must have come down at speed judging by the angle and roof penetration. Absolutely tragic scenes and credit to the pilot for attempting a landing away from the roads and pavements which ultimately safeguarded a large number of people on the ground. Also the EC135's are well designed to prevent secondary explosions from the fuel tanks upon serious impact. This could have been so much worse but it's just a shocking and terrible incident that is so unexpected in this day and age. My thoughts are will everyone involved by this.
I just got State of Decay but it's about 13th in the queue to be downloaded! I'm still trying to keep up from purchases I made 4 days ago
Just bought Euro Truck Simulator 2 for some reason
Saw this and it got me thinking http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/11/28/comically-terrible-ashes-2013-game-officially-cancelled - what a shocker!
Any other baduns' you've played or discovered past and present?
I cancelled my PS4 preorder as Watch Dogs was delayed which was a major blow for both consoles as that game was a prime example of the next gen capabilities. Ubisoft really screwed up something terrible with that clanger! The only other game; Ghosts I already have on the PC although FIFA 14 is something I am gutted not to be playing.
Both consoles have had a tough release in terms of exclusive titles but the PS4 looks to have a much brighter gaming future with a wealth of games on a very powerful system. Hopefully I'll pick one up closer towards the summer and the price may drop or there could be more appealing bundles with better games.
The Xbox One has a tough job of appealing to the sensible gamers and I can't see that doing very well for the first year for sure. It is just the most expensive TV remote ever and it seems to be for lazy people who have to shout and wave their arms about just to turn the machine on instead of pressing a button!
PS4 for sure but not at this moment in time.
I like most of the maps and there are only a few iffy ones such as Chasm and Seige. I love cranked as the mode is limited to a select map rotation in which all of them are of a very high quality and are dead suitable for the mode.
Yeah the operations and squad points are a major fail and have been poorly utilised. There is definitely more campers in this game now which is why Cranked is my saviour!
I really do miss challenge unlocks. Squad points are worse than the COD points system that Black Ops 1 used. The camo unlocks are really disappointing too with a bad structure. I miss the MW2 system for this
I don't pay much attention to the World Rankings in football as they usually seem flawed (England in 4th a few months ago - DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!) but the current top 10 are all very decent international sides. I think Belgium could prove a stern challenge to make significant headway in football over the next few years so I'd watch out for them. The more England drop down; the less hope they have of crucial seedings in the future so we really need to make ground in Rio next year else we'll be in groups of dealth for the foreseeable...
