Never watched a competitive cod match.. What do they normally call out. Srs question

Callouts are generally made anytime you see, engage with, or die from someone on the enemy team.

Callouts are generally made to decide where each of you are and how you want to proceed w/ the objective.

But it rarely happens in regular ol' public matches because people either dont use mics, stay in party chat, etc.

Here's a trolling video of it



And here's a video of Mboz from OpTiC Nation explaining callouts on strikezone from CoD Ghosts

will also depend on game modes.

for example on CTF they'll call out "all dead" since you gotta wait to respawn when you die.

What's weird is when someone from your job asks you to add them on XBL. My Xbox self is nothing like my 9 to 5 self. I never send co workers invites. lol

get ratchet as ****?

Finally got a working Xbox One after getting one with a system error right out the box.

I'm a Playstation dude converting to Xbox one for the first time. Can anyone recommend any SOCOM type games?

I can't wait for the Tom Clancy games, end of 2015 is way too far.

Game Description: Gather close and I will tell you an unipkaaq, a story that has been passed to me from generations past. I learned this tale from Nasruk many years ago. He told me that there is great wisdom in listening for those who are willing to hear. Remember, when you are part of the Iñupiat people, you are never alone. This is a story inspired by Kunuuksaayuka. The story of an endless blizzard that threatens the survival of our people. A story of a dangerous and cold journey at the top of the world. A story of bravery and true friendship. Come play my story. You are Girl and Fox, crossing dangerous lands, facing icy peril. Meet fantastic creatures and visit lost villages. Discover the mysteries and beauty of the helping spirits that are hidden in the world around us. Work together to overcome the challenges and obstacles that Nature will throw against you. Alone you cannot survive. But together you just might – if you can use each other’s strengths wisely and you refuse to surrender to the wind and snow and dangers that stalk the frozen North. Succeed and you will restore balance to the land. Fail and all will be lost. Never Alone is an atmospheric puzzle platformer for 1- or 2-players built in partnership with the Alaska Native community. It delves deeply into the traditional lore of the Iñupiat people of the Arctic to present a game

I don't think there are any of those types of games out on next generation yet. I guess if your looking for squad play, you could maybe try Battlefield. but I wouldn't buy it at full price

 

[deleted]

Edit: just caught PVLN calling me a troll, all i said was i agreed with another NTer in saying Halo was overrated, and stated how it was heavily influenced by Quake and Unreal.  I even put "IMO" in that post IIRC.

Anyone in here can search your posts and see what it is.

For sure...Siege and Division are all I'm waiting for.

For now, I guess sports game will suffice. Sniper Elite looks like something to buy for the low for fun to kill time I guess

Sniper elite is cool.

U can do a 2 person co-op throughout all the missions.

The kill cam thing really becomes a lame gimmick after seeing it 20357295283 times

Been playing Far Cry 4, pretty damn fun. Extremely similar to 3 in terms of gameplay but I don't mind that.

So whenever I turn my Xbox off the white light from the power box stays white. Is it supposed to stay white or turn yellow? I turned it off last night and it's still white. I remember for the 360 it turned yellow when I turned the Xbox off.

Some people deff forget they are using the kinect mic

Listening to this whole dudes convo on the phone right now while playing madden

Xbox is always on and running on low power unless you hard reset it every time. or turn off instant on mode (I think).

 

[swendro]

Nope wasn't competitive enough to want to keep playing it. It was only put in there to try to make the product sticky. Similar to Watch Dogs MP, very forced.

The story was so deep with TLOU I wouldn't be mad paying $60 for that. Def worth it compared to like a game like Titan Fall.

Hmm... before it came out i felt like the MP was gonna feel tacked on, but I actually think it does a great job of translating the gameplay of the SP. Scavenging for resources, limited ammo. I guess it could use more game modes, CTF or whatever, but I think it's got enough other things going on. Loadouts, perks, basically all the fixings of other MP games.

But it's tough for any game to break through the halo-cod-gears trifecta at this point.

EA Access question - I pay the $5 a month. Do I get to plat Madden 15 or do I get last years Madden 25?

I don't have ea access.

You get to play madden 15 for a week before it's release date. After that I believe you can't play it anymore.

Madden 25 is in the game vault so you can play that.

Games are added pretty irregularly to the vault, so I wouldn't expect madden 15 to be added anytime soon.

 

[Clyde Frog]

Yeah that's what their website made it seem like. I was initially under the impression I could play a few of the most recent games whenever I wanted. Seemed too good to be true. Thanks for clarifying.

I understand. EA has also stated that they'd not remove any games from their vault, but their terms says that they can.

Made an update to improve post-game carnage report accuracy for Halo: CE FFA games
Updated default language settings

HALO 2
Made an update to ensure that the team color shown in pre-game lobby matches in-game

Addressed a dedicated server issue that caused gameplay physics issues on Stonetown

We have additional content updates on the way, and work is already underway in an effort to continue to improve your experience with Halo: The Master Chief Collection. We thank you for your continued patience and support.
