There is another useful thing with the squad members in MP. Perks unlock slightly differently depending on what class you pick for the squad member. My first was assault and he had certain perks already unlocked, quickdraw, full ammo and a few others.. I paid for another squad member and chose the stealth class this time. He comes with off the radar available along with dead silence and sit rep. It means you can at least use some of the higher level perks early on for some squad members. I'm still guttef I have to wait until level 50 to get stalker for my asssult rifles!

 

You can spend squad points to unlock a latter perk before it would be unlocked by leveling up. I wanted to use Wire-Tap so I spent points to unlock it. Granted, it cost 9 squad points to do so, and it only unlocks for one soldier. But you can spend squad points on a perk if that's what's important to you.

 

Thanks for that as I hadnt actually noticed that was possible. I've blown all my squad points so far on weapons and attachments!

 

Wanted to make sure I understood the Sat coms.. they replaced uavs apparently?

Do they show enemies near the spot you plant it? How big an area do they cover?

I'm really pissed there's no uav. Sat coms are so easy to destroy. And they don't even cover the whole map. And the maps are like huge lab mazes to begin with which is making learning the maps seriously frustrating.

 

The sat-coms
1 sat com. Will show enemy's in line of sight of teammembers
2 sat coms. Uav like slow sweep
3 sat coms. Uav like fast sweep
4 sat coms. advance uav like

 

It's not as if you absolutely have to do the field order.
Who knows, maybe they'll implement other ways later like grenade launching someone at point blank so you get a kill without an explosion or get a throwing knife kill from an impressive distance.
Who knows?

 

Since I've only used the SC-2010 I can't give an experienced answer but I believe Honey Badger is a top contender.
A natural silencer with decent damage output but dangerous recoils for distant fighting.
Though thanks to the Fore grip getting a considerable improvement in this game the recoil is manageable.
Add a sight for distant shooting is an optional idea though thanks to the natural removal of the nuzzle flash the standard iron sights is easier to use then on an un-silenced weapon.

As such I believe Honey Badger is a decent weapon for close to mid combat with effectiveness decreasing at long range due to higher recoil but easier to manage in bursts since you don't need to reconfirm your targets location every time a nuzzle flare removes it from your sights.

This is an inexperienced opinion however.

 

Somethings I'd like to clarify:

- You don't need to be in a clan to get Gold camo. The description for Gold says "Obtain all other camos" There are two camos that involves playing in/with Clans. I got Gold for my AK-12 and I just wanted to clarify before anyone asks.

- Once you rise up in the ranks, you gain squad points easily despite reaching a new level or completing a field order. I've reached 57 and squad points come left and right before I'd even level up.

Though, despite not having the actual field order, I do remember getting a squad point for stabbing someone in the back, getting near death kills, gun challenges, etc.

The AK-12 is what I main right now. It's pretty effect for short-medium ranged, but I have a silencer on it. I usually burst fire-semi for longer ranges. Haven't tried out the Muzzle Break attachment thing, which increases damage for longer ranges.

 

So. I've unlocked Overkill in order to recreate an all range class I use to use in BO2.
But I'm at a loss as to which SMG to use.
Has anyone tried the MTAR-X and can you tell me how it fairs compared to the Vector?

 

This is so stupid. I feel a better way to achieve this is shot them to injure them then finish them off by stabing them or with a throwing knife

 

1- we all know about that noise we would get in the game in bo2.
That annoying alien chatter / helicoptet noise.
Do we have that problem in ghost?

2- what's the best assault rifle & smg in your opinion?

 

Does Riley revenge kill? When you're close he will do it, but will he do with from medium and long range?

 

I've seen a really cool blue camo, but noticed that it's not available in the camos list. It's not Ocean or Trail - it's completely different to the ones available b default in the stock selections.

Was there any special camos available? For pre-order or season pass holders maybe?

That camo is super cool.

 

Yeah when you buy the season pass you get the blue camo you refer to. It's the only one I have so far I think so I have it on all my guns!

 

Ah. Thanks dude!

That figures - it is an epic camo, I might get lulled into the season pass, just for that camo :embarrassed:

On a similar note, the gold camo looks horrible in this game - so bland.
