Remmy for me.

just Gold Cammo'd my FAL last night, what a chore but great weapon

brettyd4157d ago

Best gun in the game easily, its awesome single shot but put the select fire on it and its amazing.

Tonester9254157d ago

^^^ It's funny that shot selection is a "New Feature" lol

Choc_Salties4157d ago

always good content from Holden. Can't go wrong with a Remington!

DesVader4157d ago

I'm with Holden on this, #1 Shotgun is the KSG, but you have to be on target!!

PandaMcBearface4157d ago

I choose the S12 because semi-automatic is :3

DARK WITNESS4157d ago

Sometimes people spray not because they can't aim, but because of the lag.

Stewie2k84157d ago

Please. its CoD. barely anyone can aim on it and just spray everywhere with their little SMG w/ Laser sight and perfectly kill people quicker than guys aiming down the sight on them.

csreynolds4157d ago

What Stewie2k8 said. In Black Ops 2, spray > accuracy *frowns*

ninjahunter4156d ago

Lol, agree @lag. I get kills when im not even aiming at the person and i get misses when im aiming right at them, its ridiculous. Mix that with the inconsistency of the shotguns and your in heaven or hell, usually hell.

DARK WITNESS4156d ago

I have always used burst weapons in Cod over spray because I like to aim... but as the other guy said in blops2, you can aim straight at a guy and amazingly.. miss while he sprays all over the place and 2 bullets hit and inch left of you and yet you still die.

the game is optimized for people that like to spray especially with the sub-machineguns.

I try to play this game like Battlefield using strategic gestures and what not and get killed.

I Yosemite Sam with the Judge Akimbo and go 30-4?

Xbox $70 billion bet paid out

fr0sty252d ago

Guess that's what happens when there's no good new games to play...

4Sh0w252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

Well regardless of exclusives, or whatever else there is to play on Xbox or ps, CoD has has still been the top selling game on ps platform since forever also.....so no surprise that the most popular game franchise on any console could easily have a revival due to servers coming back online...this is just credit to xbox backwards compatibility & thats good thing for Xbox gamers.

wiz7191252d ago

@Frosty orrrr maybe it’s a breath of fresh air to be able to go back to the peak of the series .. and it’s beem great lol

mkis007252d ago

It's going to take 10 years for xbox to generate that much profit...

Rhythmattic252d ago

Why worry when they have OS, Server and Background Data in their hands...
Gaming is just the small piece, at the top left in a few K piece jigsaw.

EasilyTheBest252d ago

If you buy a house with cash for 1 million dollars you still own the house. Microsoft don't need to make the money back.

Rhythmattic250d ago

But its not money back, its about how it goes missing.

jznrpg252d ago

Shooters is what Xbox people play most of the time and that’s about it by the numbers and sales of games.

shinoff2183253d ago

Atkeast older gamers nostalgia is good. Jeez.

Jin_Sakai253d ago

Mostly because the new CoD games are garbage. The old games were much better.

Rutaprkl252d ago

Agree 100%. Cod 4, WaW, Black ops 1 & 2, those were the days.

Rhythmattic252d ago

For MP, Unreal tournament , QIII Arena (loved the UT mod) FTW!

RaidenBlack252d ago

Unreal Tournament and Quake III were simply amazing ... CoD's and CoD-likes' rise killed the arena shooter popularity ...
Unreal Tournament 2004 is my favorite in the series.
Didn't enjoy Unreal Tournament III, Quake Champions that much.
Too bad Epic cancelled Unreal Tournament 2014 becoz of Fortnite

Rhythmattic251d ago (Edited 251d ago )

I got hooked on the QIII Urban Terror mod (and my work colleagues I introduced them to)... LAN Sessions at the closing of the doors at work, into the night , sinking beers and eating pizza..... Good times.

thesoftware730252d ago

Wow, good games never get old I guess.

CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.

CrimsonWing69252d ago

Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.

1Victor252d ago

@crimson:” Shows you that backwards compatibility is a worthwhile feature.”
I agree it’s worthy at the start of the generation when there’s few new generation games but halfway through the generation it’s not a feature.
Now it’s good that this game is finding a renewed life for its fan but it shows a mayor flaw in new games release when a close decade old game is toppling the charts

CrimsonWing69252d ago

I don't know if I understand what you mean. It's a feature regardless of the time into the generation.

Let's take Armored Core 6 for example. Let's say I'm interested in checking out the previous Armored Core games, sure would be nice if I could play them on my current-gen console.

We're about 3 years into current-gen and old games are hitting in the top 5 for sales charts in the month.

I do get where you're coming from with older games possibly being better than the newer games, but the feature stays the feature. I can only speak for myself, but when there's a lull in game releases or nothing great is out, I like to go back to old titles. It's just nice to not have to have a bunch of consoles out to do so.

I think moving forward it'll be less and less of an issue as like with the PS5 you can access most all of the PS4 games, but I like going back to PS1 and PS2. Would be awesome to kind of make backwards compatibility a prioritized feature moving forward. Hell, Sony was the first to implement it.
