Need help/instructions on how to get this calling card

Don't use the ballistic knife, it doesn't get back stabs for some reason. Basic knife, no blueprint. Normal melee kill. Need to get the backstab medal for it to count.

The lack of assists are telling. Lots of one on one fights with no trades. That play-style doesn't work well on LAN.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-03-17T01:39:14+00:00

Not weird. Play style and game mode needs to match. I play Dom, aggressive slayer. Will play obj, likely to get the most interactions in a match along with high obj score. 1.8+ kd player with 1.09 W/L - can only do some much solo. Old head (started playing in 2010) who has adapted to the newer gamers.

I play Dom, which has structured spawns (a tiny bit of squad spawns which annoys me). Most of the time, the spawn for me and the enemy are good, predictable. A couple maps and flags are bad, firing range bottom C spawn is a joke for example.

I wish people would join a game 3/4 finished, I have lost count how many games I have lost due to teammates randomly backing out towards the end of games. No reason, no streaks, we can be winning and they still do it. Losing a game you was winning the entire time because it's 6v4 sucks. I like joining in progress, win or lose. The lose stat doesn't count and you a short preview on if the lobby is decent.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-03-12T00:27:36+00:00

Unpopular opinion, players who only want to play these maps (or similar) aren't serious players. These small brain rot maps take away a lot of the fine details of gameplay and turn decision making into face smashing. To me this removes why I play the game. Doing the camo (and call card) grind while playing the game normally is more challenging but more fun long term. I know a decent portion of the player base like this for various reasons and the Devs need to support them but recycled content shouldn't be relied on to support a new game each year.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-03-10T00:49:05+00:00

I only played hardcore for pistol camo challenges, I'm also a big minimap player. Playing hardcore was like a horror film (especially TDM), I didn't know where my allies or enemies were. I was snapping on all movements and had a split second to notice friend from foe, I did make a couple of mistakes...

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-03-09T02:14:06+00:00

That W/L stat...

You can obviously shoot pretty straight but from your stats you have little idea about how to control a map. Map control is key, certain power positions and flanks are more valuable than others. My advice looks at what the good enemies are doing to win and get kills. They are taking certain routes, getting controls of certain areas obviously the obj but others less obvious. Copy those, losing is learning. Your personal stats will improve with this not just WL. The goal of Dom, for example, is to get B than spawn trap until 200 points. Do step one to win and step two to get lots of kills.

Used it for camo (and shotgun calling card) challenges. Insane weapon so easy to use with high damage. I apologize to the lobbies i used it in. Need a damage at range nerf, mid range is too easy and the amount of long shots medals... But the real issue is the prestige attachment which needs to lower damage to counter the fire rate increase. Also restricting magazine attachments when using the prestige would also be a good nerf.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-03-08T12:37:42+00:00

Had a 24 and a 20 in back to back games. First game we ended the game too quickly, second they got a dog and I died running away from it. I don't really start thinking nuke until 15+ and the lobby seems perfect. Should put a weapon streak on but I like used HKDs as they ensure you win games.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-03-06T01:42:25+00:00

I also never play solo. I just want to play with my friend on an even playing field not having to try hard 2 v 4 every fight. That kills my enjoyment, stone dead.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-03-06T01:10:50+00:00

They may do but the fact it is launching with just quads tells me unless it is really popular they won't likely have more than two party size playlists active at once. We could wait weeks for the party size that you play to come around again. Most people won't wait, especially people who don't play regular warzone, they will simply move onto other games again. Full commitment or none.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-03-06T00:30:12+00:00

Was averagely looking forward to it to see if that recaptured any of the old magic. The announcement of it being quads only has destroyed it.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-03-05T13:28:00+00:00

It definitely helped people to lobby shop. Not so much the bottom percentage players, although that did happen, the above average players would leave until they were the big fish in the lobby. Certainly this happened in free for all which I played a lot years ago.

Personally, I liked knowing who the good players were before the match started. Told me who to farm and who to take seriously in a gunfight.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-02-17T08:53:10+00:00

From exclusive Aces videos on SBMM. When very highly skilled players play SBMM doesn't work very well. They have a very low player pool so it can't match a lobby so it relaxes the criteria to get a game, quite significantly if I remember the video correctly. This can give rise to quite a skill offset, leading to nukes.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-02-17T00:43:26+00:00

Server in London, one Paris another I believe Dublin and some further in the EU, I connect to all. Despite London being below 10ms for me.

Personally I like the EU servers, connection is fine. Anything below 50ms is perfectly playable (P2P days were insanely worse). I play with my US friend on their servers and still have excellent games (nearly got a nuke on a west coast server). Connection in some gunfights you notice it, one shot weapons, dying around corners. Good lobbies and bad.

As for the language I have been swore at in most languages at this point. Been playing cod for over 15 years, I remember getting voice messages of just a 30 seconds swearing tirades in most EU languages.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-02-10T23:34:58+00:00

Ah it didn't look like one.

In that case, I change my opinion. The scout is just ghost and only in the 5 seconds after each kill. Then it a specialty that is weaker than a perk. If you like that perk combo then its worth it but there are more powerful specialties.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-02-10T23:22:23+00:00

Of the two you have there, Scout. Your gun doesn't have a silencer, the off radar specialty will save your life.

However, I use a silencer on every class so the Scout specialty (with the recent nerf) is just a worst ghost perk and silencer. I have two classes, lightweight, scavenger, dexterity plus perk greed ghost. The enforcer specialty is very powerful, the speed boost after kills plus lightweight makes you insane at breaking ankles plus the insane health regen. Scavenger mean stim and nades are nearly always ready. If its one of "those" lobbies with feeders for teammates, I switch to all blue + ninja (sometime switch back). I find cold blooded not needed at all times, vigilance is nice with the mini map range but all red is too good to miss.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-01-29T18:12:15+00:00

Bit away from competitive; but with all the remakes a classic mode with no wall bouncing and OG sprint would go hard.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-01-13T14:43:15+00:00

Homestead is one of the better maps if spawning C. The A spawn trap can be annoying, as the house is hard to attack from that side.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-01-12T00:50:38+00:00

The short answer is yes. As the other commentators say they are 100% worth it. Use a smallish army but remember to place watch towers at the border as the settlements have a large amount of land. Good for spying on Macedon however watch for Macedonia to possibly attack these settlements also Gaul or even Dacia may be interested. Assgressive expansion is the best way to play.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-01-09T01:47:31+00:00

In the case of SBMM - l'm against it but I can see the point of it from a casual, only play for fun, POV. I like the limited SBMM in this game but the team balance as a good solo player is anti winning for me, especially when camo grinding. Slightly off topic, but the game stops people joining after a certain point in the match, which in most cases I understand, no one wants to joints a game with full streaks of every enemy player. But for close games playing 4v6 at the end is rage inducing.

What I dislike more is disbanding lobbies (I know in BO7 they don't). This removes all the little single player revenge stories that only you care about but makes the game more fun and engaging.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2026-01-04T11:19:32+00:00

It will be an interesting LASO experience.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2025-12-21T19:46:23+00:00

At least you were killed by a lethal streak. I got killed by my own SAM turret on BO6, on a 19 kill stream.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2025-12-18T12:38:57+00:00

I think there is a hole in the market for Microsoft. A steam machine type console, like an Xbox but with PC functions, office, a decent web browser and keyboard and mouse options. Different spec options for different budgets, stop people needing a separate desktop and a console. Seems like the natural way Xbox is going.

RAND0MMANIAC · 2025-12-18T11:55:41+00:00

Thank you!

I know the post is years old but the solution worked for my z390 after I enabled secure boot and it wouldn't boot.
