Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)

Wait, I thought this was all through Battlenet so how do we have local MWEB servers?
 
Having now played against the console maatjies, their aim assist is insane but if you're behind them or do any sort of rapid movement it looks like they are doing a 3 point turn.
The aim assist it's bonkers man, holy.... It's a task taking down a camping controller.

Look you get peeps that are good at console's. I used to be ok at it too, back when I was a peasant ;). But you cannot beat m&k vs controller. Unless it's aim assist lvl 200iq
 
Will there be local servers? The game is a bit expensive imo with regards to fps shooter/tdm. So yeah same will wait till it's about 5-R600 and most bugs are squashed etc. Hopefully the game isn't dead by then..
It will most likely be just like BO4, region locked. With most players on console and I highly doubt they'll opt-in to crossplay against m&k. So in my opinion, PC gaming will die-off after a few weeks.
But ill keep my eye on this, hopefully they'll allow EU games as well and/or local console players are open to the whole "see who's best" and game sees lifespan long after first year

Dude have you played with a controller and aim assist? It's nothing near what you think it is. If you play with high sens a lot of the time you will blow right through the aim assist.

It very lightly 'sticks' your aim to the opponent if your reticle moves over them. And this effect is quickly released and you have to keep your aim yourself. It will not lock on and keep you locked to an opponent in any way shape or form. And snipers have no aim assist at all.
 
So any feedback from those playing the beta on pc?
Waiting time for games?
Region locked or not?
How's crossplay?
Console players willing to go head to head?
 
Dis die hakkerigste game wat ek in my lewe al gespeel het. Kort nog baie werk, mens sou sweer EA het n vinger in die pie hier. Lag by die tonne, en dit voel asof ek op Intel GMA speel. Het met 5700xt en 1080ti getoets. Hoop dis na die beta gefix. Voel meer soos Black Ops as ou COD4 en ook glad nie soos n bf 3/4 tdm. Daai bly baie beter.

Not region locked, been pushed in EU servers alot as for crossplay its pc vs Xbox vs ps4 (everyone plays together in the same server)

The game is very blurry! Minecraft is shaper than this game [emoji2357]

Gameplay smooth. I have played EU, and Asia regions (some mates from mw3 days are in Malaysia) and even with the shoddy long distance ping it is playable.

Second the blurry comment above. Even with graphics maxed out across the board at 2k it appears "soft".

Been a good experience thus far. Waits no longer than a minute most of the time. Some issues when alt tabbing in and out of the game, and a number of freezes with nvlddmkm stopped responding in even manager. (downclocked my 1080 a little and faults went away... So far)

Waiting time for games? No wait times.

Region locked or not? Not, but neither was BO4. Got put in some EU games in BO4 just this week.

How's crossplay? Works perfectly. Though it matches on ping first, then system,then input device. At least in my experience. On my PS4 each lobby is 70% PS4. On my PC,even using a controller,each lobby is 70% PC and mostly kbm.

Console players willing to go head to head? Don't think we'll get an indication of this in beta yet. Didn't hear any complaints or shit talking in lobbies,but whether this means they won't eventually opt out is anyone's guess. So far everyone playing together nicely it seems.
 
Some quick tips: Purely graphically make sure you have all motion blur switched off (world + guns) in general settings I believe... Then either switch AA off or turn it down, and remove all film grain and filters off. Graphics look 1000$ cleaner.

Then on gameplay, it really is great I think they did a good job trying to go back to the good old days. Wouldn't say its back to the golden state of MW + MW2 but definitely better then what COD has released recently... Its slower paced then BO4 but still fast enough to be a COD. The 32v32 is quite a lot of fun but still has the COD feel instead of a BF feel.

Crossplay works perfectly, only personal notes: the aim assist is FAAAAAAAARRRR too agressive, don't get me wrong, I know controllers need aim assist but there are certain areas where there needs to be penalties for the way you can 'exploit' the aim assist. Again does this make it completely unfair - nope I don't have any issue playing against consoles, just sometimes you can see when people know how to take advantage of it. However, I believe crossplay will keep online games around for longer which is always a positive.

All in all, There are issue: I would say the games is in about a 70% finished state.. but once all the little things are fixed for release, it could be loads of fun...

Activion + Infinity Ward: if you listening, please bring back SND.
 
Is this the last beta or another one down the road?
Sounds like this could be a good COD game to buy and invest time into.
Wish I could play the beta, but alas work doesn't allow.
Does seem ill be buying this game down the line.

Last beta,ends Monday 7PM I think
 
I'm not buying this game, battlefield looks and feels 100x better in my opinion.

Game looks way sharper when turning AA off completely. Very weird implementation that hints at a console biased approach to the game engine development, which isn't surprising. I suppose with cross-play being enabled, they also want PC to look similar to console and not have an advantage despite the graphical superiority of the PC platform.
 
You ever get a console teammate in 2v2 and he doesn't get a single kill, same.

The next person just one upped it, he didn't fire a single bullet.

at first I thought the game sucked, felt like I was playing easy ai, gun play was bland and so on.
yea, no that changed like really quickly and got my ass handed to me.

The game was butter smooth for me, I had one game that was laggy as hell, but that was because I turned on v-sync, after I disabled Field of depth it was hella better looking.

the longest I waited for a game was like 30 seconds, my highest ping was with 173 and that was with ground war.

that brings me to ground war, holy shit it was chaos, sometimes fun, but they could literally have made it a free for all. It's a lot like battlefield, which is not bad, battlefield is awesome.

my highest ping in quick play was I think 10 (TD, domination etc) was joined by some console players, met a lot of other peeps from SA playing.

The gun customization is awesome, the gun play I felt was really cool, just enough lead time and bullet drop to make you think.

My favorite mode was Realism, that shit was insane, but it was freaking awesome.

I don't know, I felt like the game was pretty epic to me
 
as a battlefield fan from Vietnam and 1942 days .
i have tried a few COD's in the past , but this COD beta was Amazing!
definitely getting this on Pre order!
 
Spec Ops Survival Mode is PS4 exclusive for a year hahaha, that's some next level bullshitery.

That doesn't bother me much to be honest. Was never into survival mode. Shitty practice yes, but not one that aggravates me personally. I'm just happy there's no season pass and that the multiplayer is actually good. Didn't like it until I got used to it. Now I love it.
 
I quite enjoyed the beta, was just different having so many vantage points to die from which reminded me more of battlefield then COD but i adjusted eventually. They need to work on the sound though, i often couldn't distinguish between friendlies and enemies coupled with the dark corners to camp in with player models blending all too well into the background.

That is intentional. They said the game is designed that way and that even when turning your brightness up it won't make a difference to that.

To many more deaths from a guy in the dark corner i guess :(. Are you managing to run and gun or have you changed up your play style to be more slow and methodical?

Nah rushing ain't working for me in this one. I scoped. Never really scoped in other COD's. Enjoyed the hell out of it in the beta.
When I wasn't scoping I tried playing to the slowest pace I can.

"We will also be looking into lighting and exposure on various areas of the map, such as how you view dark rooms from the outside of a building and vice versa, for example."

Yah that's only for some areas. Not all of it. In one of their streams they said looking into buildings from far and through windows will be darker to reflect realism. When looking from far away you aren't realistically going to see everything when looking into a building. They are trying to stick with that.

I just use a scope. Scope sees everything :p
