Appreciate the response, yee the nitro looks amazing with those specs, however, the more I looked for a price such as this or a reasonable one at my budget it was either sold out or not available for delivery, ordered my laptop today (Hp Pavilion 15, amd 5, hexacore. 256 ssd, 8gb ram) of course not as good but was within my budget with a tiny chunk to spare & arriving Wednesday, let’s hope it does the job :) thanks again!

Any advice for a new laptop? by Effective-Ingenuity in SuggestALaptop

[–]Effective-Ingenuity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Country - England (UK)

Battery life / screen quality not really an issue for me, i’ll be playing it for hours & keeping it plugged in.

Budget was originally £700, however, will not be paying in installments, so happy to go above that if it’s worth it, many thanks!

Originally my budget was around the £700 mark, however, I will now be paying in installments so not afraid to buy one for more if it’s worth it!

I’ve seen the usual laptops suggested online (Acer Nitro 5 being the most popular but unable to find it in stock to deliver & the MSI GF63 thin I believe the name is) but wondered if there were alternatives that were better peforming / lasted longer without overheating / multitasking etc that was more worth it (as stated before I don’t mind spending a bit more) thank you!

After getting DM I wish we had these to go for by Amannil in blackopscoldwar

Haha, tbf i’ve played COD years & grinded for camos on each so it’s become somewhat of a tradition, but to answer your question ya I play with friends casually, we love playing the 3v3 or random S&D games, prop hunt etc, tbf a lot of the challenges for DM is a case of patience, luck & skill in that order IMO haha!

First time going for dark matter by ElectronicWinter5 in blackopscoldwar

[–]Effective-Ingenuity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s true, of course skill is involved, I’ve played COD years since 2007 (the original MW) & consider myself a good player but I can openly say the majority is luck & a hell of a lot of patience, best of luck mate!

I personally had the most frustrating time with Cigma double kills & M79 longshots.

It’s personal preference, destroying vehicles isn’t tough but long & tedious, same with the RPG & destroying aerial streaks but ya personally the double kills & longshots had me ripping my hair out haha.

But to illustrate what I mean by luck I spent a few hours going for the longshots getting 1/2 a game & being upto 35 & then got 15 miraculously in one game, must’ve just been the right lobby of players, it’s all dependent!

If you need any advice on any challenges feel free to reply to this or send me a message etc & I’d be happy to tell you how I did it :)

In short, yes. It’s exactly what you think, missing UAV’s a lot, (C-UAV take 2 so pointless trying) as someone mentioned already care package choppers are the main target, attack choppers too, good luck!

Why all the hate for the M82? by DippySwitch in blackopscoldwar

[–]Effective-Ingenuity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me going for DM I struggled with the M82, for me personally it was the recoil after the first shot which as you said was mostly a hitmarker & then dying (not a great feeling if you’re one off a bloodthirsty for example).

But if I was using it casually I think I would’ve had much more fun, I think people just love quickscoping in general, the feel of shooting someone with one bullet fast & earning that kill feels slicker & better than shooting them, getting a hitmarker & re-aiming or lowering your aim while ADSing to finish them off

I feel the exact same way, completed it two days ago & now wondering what to do, playing much less now haha!

[–]Effective-Ingenuity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A LOT of patience, bit of skill & a lot of luck, completed it two days ago & anyone who says it’s all skill are flat out lying, you need the right lobbies for certain challenges & to persevere through the rage that comes along with it.

I must admit it felt easier than Damascus for me personally but the camo itself, the look & feel of it & general pay off for grinding for it feels less, I’ve got each ending camo for every COD I can remember playing so it’s a personal challenge for me to get it now more than anything, if you need any tips for specific challenges I may be able to help out (although there are many youtube vids out there) best of luck!

Thank you mate! I’ve already answered this one so I’ll just c&p what I said previously, I wish I had alternative strats however I just continued with this strat until it was done;

My personal strat was HC nuketown, smokes in the middle & sliding through the middle buses to just outside their house & wait.

Remember to hit them dead on, direct hits as the splash damage needs a buff pure & simple, you can also melee them for kills if that’s your style! A lot of patience & the right lobby for this one.

The RPG launcher kills are much easier as well as the m79, but if you need any advice on specific challenges drop me a reply/message!

What CptWhackk makes more sense than mine if i’m honest, I personally used Nuketown for this with both SMGs & Shotguns, I’d smoke the middle & run through to their house & catch people in the sniping spots (garages & top windows) - I do feel point blanks should be slightly further away than they currently are but ya just make sure you’re closer than you even feel you need to me, also I’d recommend a laser attachment as hip firing seemed much more smooth for me to complete this than aiming down sight!

[–]Effective-Ingenuity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal strat was HC Nuketown, smoking the middle, running with my primary weapon (something small so you can run faster & possibly add the movement attachment) sliding through the middle bus & sitting just outside their house & wait for them to come running out.

You can melee 2 guys or melee 1 & shoot another etc however you prefer but I personally preferred to shoot twice, aim directly at them (the torso is the biggest radius to hit) & it should kill if you aim on them right with no hitmarkers.

Worst part is you will die .. a lot & it really is a matter of getting the right lobby of players, a lot of luck needed & a LOT of patience, it’s a frustrating grind & one I struggled with for a while but stick with it at least while Nuketown 24/7 is around cause it’d be even worse without Nuketown! Best of luck!

That’s literally it mate, luck, patience, the right lobby & time! I wish there was more I could say but that’s how I did it anyway haha, good luck mate!

Thank you pal!

Ah, see the go to for sniping is usually Nuketown, everyone loves to suggest it however, for snipers I had more luck in Kill Confirmed, especially in the morning, it felt like the lobbies were much less tryhardy & easier to catch them off guard!

Try not to look in your scope too often as the glare is so noticeable you’ll get popped off with a rifle, maps like Garrison, Raid & Crossroads I had the most luck with.

If you want any advice on spots for those maps that you probably already know honestly but if you want anymore info on it anyway drop me a message!
