Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)


EKUv591UwAAsUj9

Shipment is trash and Spec Ops is terrible, don't know why they are spending so much time on it. Think they need to simplify and focus on fewer things.

MP is in a rough state atm and they don't seem keen on rectifying it. And progression is such a mess, haven't run out of things to do in a Cod this early ever.

Will have to wait and see, at least it's something new.

If i can, why do you think the MP is in a rough state?

The progression i agree, seems pretty meh once you hit 55...
 
I watched a buddy stream this on discord on monday night.
I bought the game, downloaded it. Played it last night.

I'm really enjoying it. I haven't played since modern warfare 2 days.
I can get frustrated at times though with the objective based maps, holding points, collecting tags etc.
I generally have the team that likes to camp outside the objectives and shoot at the people inside without actually capturing the points... sigh.

Oh well, I got 27 kills on my second game and had the highest kills and best k/d/a that game, My team won that match. I'm pretty chuffed with myself.
I haven't managed to do that well again but damn it can be fun. Especially the close games where both sides are actually trying to win instead of just sitting in a corner trying to rack up kills.

Quick question, Do the Xbox and PS4 guys have aim assist or something? because it sometimes feels as if they do. their gun doesn't move but the reticle seems to snap and follow players in a very uncanny way as if they are pro level mouse users. Not sure, maybe just imagining it.

Weapon balance is a major problem. M4 and 725 game even after all the nerfs. It's so boring it makes my eyes bleed. I actually cheer when someone kills me with any other gun.

SBMM is another issue. If you are high level and not a moron you get walled off in the sweat camp with the try-hardiest tryhards in the history of the world. It's tiring and frustrating and not fun.

Camp meta is stupid and unfun as well. There is zero flow to the maps because there are 7 mines and 12 claymores between you and the other side of any lane, with 4 guys camping behind boxes and in corners every 20m.

Content is also lacking. Too few 6v6 maps. The 10v10 ones don't flow and you spend most of your time looking for, and not finding, anyone to kill.

I have almost 5 days played by now and have put 1000 hours into each Cod going back quite a while. The core MP experience at this point in release is, in my opinion, the weakest it's been in a very long time.

Edit: Oh and the bugs. My God the bugs are endless. Right at this second my latest bug gripe is that I can't change my clan tag, anything I enter tells me it's profanity, even if I leave it blank. Also, I only got half of the officer ranking emblems I earned.

Thanks for the detail behind this, i recently bought this and im finding this to be a similar scenario.

I guess i am still lacking in hours to feel the same way, but it is becoming predominant as to what is happening.
I find the leveling and progression is boring, because once you hit 55, theres nothing else really worth playing for besides grinding gold skins.

With the shotguns and M4, there i agree massively... They just seem to defeat the point of using anything else, i have lost countless fights in close quarters with an MP5 and MP7 against an M4, which begs the question as to why the hell should an SMG class be run if the rate of fire VS the damage output is enough to edge against the M4.

I only just hit 55 and the ranks reset, but i am still trying to figure out what the hell i still have 100levels to unlock stuff for.

Yeah it's frustrating at the moment.

The next 100 levels after 55 don't unlock anything other than officer challenges, which basically eventually rewards you with fancy emblems at the end of the season. I would recommend getting the battle pass, which has 100 tiers of skins and stuff to go through. It's only like R160. I got it and it's fun to have something to unlock. Else there's little to do beyond 55. I am going for Damascus and have 6 gold guns already but I like something other than the camo grind to keep me occupied.

Funny enough, i was chatting to a colleague about this today, i cant help but feel removing the prestige aspect of level grind was a bit of a mistake.
Because once max level, it suddenly gave you a whole lot more to play towards
 
Always fun being put into a 200+ping lobby just because of SBMM :(

Yep. They have more or less abandoned the hardcore crowd. Put them in a SBMM holding pen and took away the incentives they had to play the game the whole year. Just so the newbies can feel special and like they are achieving the highest reward level by playing twice a week.
 
Guns I stopped using to make it more FAIR are the M4 and 725 shotty…. they felt toooooooo EZ even went back to using a G502 to see if adding weight slows me down more ;)

Pancakes is good, ironmike is decent and there was a girl called PrettyBandit which is good hey..... haven't run into many others besides hellocat etc online tbh from carb

Oh and just to put this out there CLANS are funny because they all do like a team effort against your individual efforts lol clans

Who else noticed CRASH, omg what memories it's so easy because it's still the old map just feels weird with how it looks now.

A map I hope and pray that they add is TERMINAL, that's the only one I ever really miss oh and that mining map where guys were always like we'll 1v1 you there if you think you're good LOL

Hating the new STUTTER in game now, they need to patch that asap it's messing with my aggressive sniping lol. I've played many ground warfare maps with foreigners and can still get 30+- frags with 180 to 230 ping, are you guys struggling with it? my normal ping on the team deathmatch SA servers etc seems to be 7 to 24ms eventhough I have a decent fiber line oh well
 
^^ I haven't found a local ground war game ever.
They all seem to be based overseas, also have higher ping on ground war only.

I have pretty much avoided the M4 and 725, been trying out as many of the assault rifles/smsg/sniper rifles and pistols as possible.
The .357 with snake bite ammo is amazing for holding a point, it is like a more mobile 725 with 6 shots before a reload and less range.

This is the first game that has stopped me playing CS for more than a month in a very long time.
Hope they bring back shoot house 24/7 though.

Exactly this, my colleague took a week off work to jam this on release ( hes a massive fan and played BO4 right up until the release of MW.
He says he is bored already as he hit level 155 and is bored.

I LOVE CRASH!
Its so nostalgic! it made me so happy to sit and play it last night :) It also looks really pretty

I don't think i have run into many from Carb, although my gaming nick online is OddBallZA. Not actually R3al1Ty, need to change this on Carb eventually :p

Although i am fairly certain i ran into @Jack_Bauer_ZA though, not sure :p but i had a couple good fights against someone with a similar nick as i had the MP5 and he ran with the P90 :)
 
So I was jamming last night or rather early hours of this morning.

There is this dip (Named [Nobody]) sitting nearby our spawn and continuously kills me, Then uses his killstreak guided rocket to kill me... the one and only dude on the opposite end of the map where the fighting is not happening.(Where I spawned)

Anywho, after the match I thought to myself "what a dip".

Then I noticed the chat after the match was over and there this [nobody] guy typed in chat:
"I'm sorry d3ttol"
"It's me @superrob"

Now we all know what kind of player superrob is. :p
 
Lol ha ha ha, it was just too easy to run into you continuously once I noticed a familiar name ;) @D3TTOL

Man I hope they fix the in game stutters soon because they're annoying me

Funnily enough my game had super shit audio, didn't work much at all and I couldn't hear any of the toxic children cry.
I figured out that since my speakers were plugged in it was trying to use both my headset and speakers, I disabled the speakers in windows and viola. Game actually ran a bit smoother as well. Not sure how or why but my FPS was sitting at max 63 until I disabled the speakers and now it runs at 130+. I can't fathom why a sound issue would cause performance issues.
 
At the moment main performance issue came from the big update, it feels like lag spikes but it's the game itself not lag. Feel it a bit on all maps but mostly on CRASH at present. Man if they bring TERMINAL back I'll do a happy dance. That map is the most insanely fun in the history of MW.

Lol can't believe you think I camp ha ha ha, i never stand still most times always rushing forwards even in piccadilly I'm the guy at the beginning standing ontop of the bus shooting easy prey.... yes standing in plain sight lol normally on a big red old bus then after about 5 quick kills I move along to joining the herd running around on the normal level to stop snatching easy kills.

I dislike campers and go out of my way to make fun of their camps. I also dislike nade spamming and dislike bullet spamming which is pretty much most average MW players tbh

But like @SILTECH786 has pointed out I'm not a pro MW player or the best you'll ever run into.

I hear @PancakesZA and even @Skalas may be the true hidden champs at the moment

So for all if you run into a nobody, you'll see that I'm just that nobody and nothing to see 😁
 
My "pro" days are long gone.
I've ruined many a game for people when I go all tryhard, but that never really happens unless someone really pisses me off with that fucking 725.
The one good thing though, you probably won't run into me on any of the new maps. I only play shoothouse and crash,

It's a lot more difficult to "go off" in this game. Purely because camping is such an effective playstyle now.
Most of the maps cater to the camping demographic (Mainly console players).

I'ma Kill both @SILTECH786 & @IronMike for dragging me into this, i really am an average player at best, with a 1.3KD last time i checked.
I cannot play COD MW due to shotgun campers, it kills me a little inside.

i play fun, shits and giggles but that is about it.

Plus i have only played like 2 hours or so.
