WW2 megabitch thread

sryanbruen

People aren't playing the objective.

Servers are ****.

Maps are tiny.

Gustav Cannon needs to be deleted.

:P

sryanbruen

Co-op zombies needs to be fixed. By quitting on a co-op match - or disconnecting, you lose all your XP and leveling up progress in zombies.

Dozyart

the relationship between me getting lots of hit markers and then my death!!! :mad::mad::mad:

shoxter

The horrendous inconsistency between games,multiple hitmarkers in hardcore and enemy surviving, no hitmarkers at all or gun not firing at all when trigger pulled.

Vicxas

No Friendly names popping up in Hardcore until its too late and you teamkill someone.



Yeah...... that happens waay too much.

Gustav Cannon is awful, but USS Texas is up there with the worst I've ever played. Why it fails is the only close quarters you can have are from going up and down a small set of stairs in the central part of the map where all anyone has to do is camp in a corner and wait for you and there's nothing you can do about it. When you're at the top you can camp and spawn kill people from the end of the ship with a long range weapon. The layout is so badly done too. I feel like I've no idea where I'm going or what to do in the map as there are about 5 different doorways to choose from. Why can't it just be straightforward? This is why I was so fed up with the past COD's because it's amazing how they can go from making incredible maps rewarding every gun type to tripe like this. This rewards random encounters, no strategy, and campers.

I'll go into more detail on this game sometime later but even though I love the feel of WW2 a lot of **** hasn't changed.

Ha USS texas. Ran a sniper and the toggle action and went on a 15 kill streak and I can't snipe to save my life, when you do run and gun every time you die you end up at the very back of the map again every time. I actually don't mind gustav cannon as much.

Perk system has to be one of the most useless i've seen in years.

Just got it yesterday...

If I'd have known about this perk system I'd not have bothered. As someone who's been flak jacketing with every class except the LMG one for years it's beyond annoying that that was the class that they assigned that to. Takes away any sense of tailoring your play style and instead you are told how you have to play and what perks to use.

Why the **** do people play war and not bother with the objective??

K/D isn't recorded in it so why else would you bother playing it instead of TDM/DOM etc

This by 1000. Been playing mainly war the last week and my win loss is terrible. Especially on the beach map. Nobody trying the get the bunker everyone Sitting at back sniping. Kd not recorded No kill streaks so who cares if you die 100 times once you are trying to win

Thats just the usual CoD community behaving like muppets..has always been an issue not playing the objectives. Domination is rife with people looking to up there K/D but not cap flags etc.

Anyways I'm done with CoD for good now sadly...being playing it since CoD2.

Only 9 maps on release of which 6 are playable (imho) and activision can fuk off if they think I'm paying for DLC to get content that should of been in it from the start.

Also the perk system is sh1te.

And finally the amount of head glitching spots is rediculus .

You could argue they are camping for KD or streaks in Dom though. In war the whole point is there is no KD or streaks so not playing obj is pointless.

sryanbruen

50 points per kill in Domination works in some ways but that's not an excuse for it to be a thing in WW2.... it should be 100 points per kill as it always was. **** SAKE.

I was finding the same until I stopped dicking around in TDM/DOM and switched to War exclusively and playing like an objective maniac. Ranking up about 2 levels every 3 games at the moment

Cheers - might switch to War then so

Simply Red

War is the way to go for XP and not having to worry about dying 50 times while throwing yourself at an objective. Build every wall, gun, bridge, escort the tanks over the line and you will fly up the levels

x43r0

When you're on defense, build everything and then rush them with a silencer. It causes chaos and take their attention off the OBJ

On attack I tend to run smoke grenades to help with the OBJ

Replied to the Top 5 thread giving my 5 favourite maps of the game so far and struggled to think of any that are above average. Even COD:Ghosts, a game that was remarked as below average did better maps than this. Octane, Prison Break, Freight, Whiteout, Warhawk, Sovereign, & Strikezone - Every one of these maps are superior than whats on offer at the moment with WW2. The maps have no flow, are clunky, & maze-like. It's the worst set of starter maps I've played.

It amazes me how Activision can continually year on year **** up a simple product more and more. The game hit it's peak with MW3 multiplayer gameplay-wise. The weapons, maps, perks, scorestreaks, etc. were absolutely brilliant and has such amazing flow and rewards for strategy. It's been going down hill since.

It also doesn't help that with 60MG broadband I've getting unplayable lag in half the games I enter.

sryanbruen

It's funny how the quality of COD games has gotten worse (as a lot of people say) when each studio has had one extra year to develop their games.

I've always been on the other side of the field with the maps in WW2, I don't find them as bad as everyone says.

Think BO2 was the best.

It's annoying in this one as I think the core mechanics are as good as they've ever been. Just bad choices with the supplemental things.

Playing the campaign now and it's pretty bad. Way worse than Infinite Warfare which was pretty great.

Played 8 missions in one sitting. Starts off very ropey but gets much better a few levels in.

had about 20 mins earlier before heading off to work.

Powered up Xbox. Game needs an update. No problem.

I reboot.

I then try to log into a game of Dom. Error.

I do it again. I'm in! Game on. Em.. nope. I am technically in but only spectating!? FFS. I change class about 5 times in an effort to get thrown in. Nothing. I leave the game.

I try again. Yup - I'm in a game of Dom. Wait a second - I'm only spectating again!

*Turns off machine*

I keep getting the game updating, error code 5 problem :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:. I did what was mentioned on this forum before of solving this problem, it did nothing for me.

I know right, I just can't get a positive K/D with shotguns..... I rage quit over people killing me with Incendiary Shells on Shotguns then when I try them out myself, I do so bad.

I don’t use incendiary as I run them with airborne. Exclusive ace did a video showing incendiary shells reduce the range. The range is already bad enough.

Shotguns are worthless in this game. I remember using the Brecci gun I think it was in BO3 and tearing it up.
