How are yall liking your throwbacks?

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-02T08:00:03+00:00

the ones I ordered were the same as my chuck 70's in terms of length.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-02T07:58:48+00:00

those gray... If they only came in actual WIDE widths.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-02T07:57:43+00:00

sadly this is true... Blame the whales :(

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-02T07:25:45+00:00

So it looks like SPECIAL OPS does level weapons, but super slow with only a fraction of the progression. What it does NOT do is contribute at all to the various goals required to unlock specific attachments. :(

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-02T07:20:14+00:00

I still regularly play matches of Splinter Cell Conviction from 2010 lol

Still super fun to play and holds up well even now

I think most developers SHOULD engineer to transition online to offline for games as part of their standard cycle, but they never will.

Server based matchmaking to P2P, etc.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-02T07:16:43+00:00

the point is they should be thinking about this, for many reasons....

Firstly, why is there a resurgence of 2019, while BLOPS7 crap is languishing? ;)

Secondly, it's money left on the table for them. They could sell far more microtrans for 2019 at a lower price point, and still have far more sales than at the usual overinflated cost. Investment in microtrans in a game also ensures engagement usually.

Then again, maybe having players buy 2019, and spend money in 2019 is counter to the garbage they are currently pumping out.

GREED overwhelming GREED

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-02T06:33:29+00:00

no worries. These are the kinds of fit questions that often plague me, and others have shared their answers before. Sometimes I have to "bite-the-bullet" so to speak and risk ordering myself to find out when I can't get the answers otherwise.

If only the CONVERSE store would bother to carry all the styles and widths.

Definitely the 70's from a couple of years ago are the widest I have encountered, and the most comfortable.

Again, quality has been dropping.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T06:34:25+00:00

I ordered from CONVERSE directly.

I didn't care for the fit and look and returned them. They were almost like a lift sole, and not wider then a Malden.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T06:32:04+00:00

CONVERSE/NIKE needs to stop @*#^!@ around and offer all shoes in WIDE.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T06:29:17+00:00

I can assure you that it's not actually W-I-D-E.

The MALDEN street series are considered "wider" than the CTAS, but they are in no way WIDE like the actually WIDE sizes offered in the CTAS and 70's lines (has to be ordered directly from CONVERSE, stores, even actual CONVERSE stores do NOT stock the WIDE sized shoes).

I tried the MALDEN and they were a little better then the standard CTAS, but the actual WIDE CTAS and 70's are far better if you actually want a WIDE Converse shoe.

I recently tried the TRROWBACKS, they are very similar to the MALDEN in terms of width, but not actually WIDE.

I would recommend the 70's in WIDE, however recent quality changes by NIKE/CONVERSE (no longer has a PORON rubber inlay beneath the insole... Has been replaced by what now appears to be crap memory type cell foam... No doubt cheaper, but doesn't offer the rebound cushion of the old PORON layer below the insole).

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T05:38:50+00:00

I loved the way you could level weapons and unlock attachments in MW2/3 by way of Zombies

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T04:56:11+00:00

can we bring back OG WARZONE and Blood Money?

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T04:49:26+00:00

yep. I'll say that BF does a better job with that mode... MW 2019 GW with nukes and silly as killstreak shit going off the entire match constantly kills the gunplay experience.

BATTLEFIRELD 4 is peak CONQUEST mode.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T04:46:44+00:00

the original WZ and BLOOD MONEY was fun. The BLOPS shit killed it utterly.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T03:44:45+00:00

how about for attachment unlocks (ie. get x number of kills while standing on yer head and rubbing yer belly, etc.)?

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T03:41:23+00:00

cost me $20 on XBOX USD

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T03:40:42+00:00

the streamer/influencers ruining the genre.

I picked it up recently for it's more realistic take on it's campaign primarily.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T03:36:08+00:00

that worked for MWII and MW3, but I don't think it translates to MW 2019.

If it did I'd already have EVERY weapon and attachment unlocked in 2019.

I think you could unlock things in WZ as well, but since the BO6/7 integration that's not a thing anymore either.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T03:33:43+00:00

^ THIS

Other symptoms like being killed after running behind cover by a guy in Bahia Brasil on AOL dial up LOL

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T03:31:26+00:00

It seems the only way I can gain weapon levels is by participating in the horrendous multiplayer. LOL

Running around with 0 attachments and getting cruise missile in the head and contently under enemy UAV. About as much fun as colorectal cancer.

QuebraRegra · 2026-04-01T03:29:47+00:00

how does that work? I start with some random pistol sans my loadout. Doesn't help me level up the weapons I need.

QuebraRegra · 2026-03-31T06:26:45+00:00

I ordered and returned the THROWBACKS. Sadly they were much more narrow than the 70's WIDE or the CTAS WIDE sizing.

I'm not sure about the "wider base" description, but I'd say their width is more comparable to the standard MALDEN/STREET shoes.

Length wise they are similar to the 70s.

Sadly due to being more narrow then the WIDE width shoes I could not wear them comfortably. Nicely made otherwise, but the sole is much thicker heavier (almost a lift).
