    Tried to get a game last night. Was left in lobby regardless of mode and turned off the machine after 15 mins

    I was on PS4 from 11-2 and had no issues. Only tried war and tdm though

    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.

    I'm only running them just to annoy other people because people piss me off with them.

    Trying to use the lee Enfield sniper tonight and it’s just turned into a hit marker machine.

    Only need 1 double kill for gold and can’t seem to get any kills at all ☹️☹️

    Getting very tired of the quickscoping every game Sledgehammer need to ring Treyarch and ask them how to fix quickscoping!
    Also does this happen to anyone else since they added Headquarters to the menu I think I am going to find a game and then it turns out I’ve clicked on the Headquarters by accident! They need to swap the Headquarters tile with the find game one is first in the list!

    Each studio could learn a lot from one another to resolve their problems, like Infinity Ward teach Treyarch and SHG good hit detection or Treyarch teach Infinity Ward (for the most part, Infinite Warfare's time to kill wasn't that quick) good balanced time to kill etc.

    There should be a polling room in the Headquarters.

    When you walk around headquarters commending everyone and get one back in return :(

    I'm cursing myself for buying the digital version. I was thinking with W@W being my favourite COD that I'd at the very least have a multiplayer that if not love but enjoy having casual games.

    I haven't played it now in over a week. It's the biggest pile of shite I've bought since Final Fantasy XIII about 6 years ago. Over Xmas I'm gonna see if I can sink myself into another FPS as COD is the only one I gave a go really.

    Really disappointed with it. Find it incredibly boring and annoying. :(

    Anybody having issues getting into games? Showing up that there's 50 potential games found but it's not joining any for me.

    On Xbox

    I got that twice in the past few days. Both times just backed out to the dashboard and quit the app then loaded it back up and worked grand


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,878 ✭✭✭heroics


    Can anybody tell me why people play war and on the breakout map when defending the ammo cache they build the walls near their own spawn first instead of the walls near the enemy spawn first.

    All it means is that the enemy can run in and plant the bomb while I have to blow up the F**king walls to get in, or else try and flank all the way around the compound.

    Was in 2 different lobbies last night that it happened.

    I wish had a more helpful explanation but people are just stupid for the most part

    For what it's worth if you find yourself in this situation again you can shoot the bomb right after it's planted to blow it up straight away and save yourself a few seconds rather than waiting for the timer. Comes in handy on the attacking side too to get the jump on charlie

    I don’t think I’ve been playing the same game. Because I find them useless. Getting the daily 15 kills with shotguns is painful. Half the time the guy with a shovel kills you from further away than a shotgun 1 shots you

    I really don’t see the attraction of the map I’ve had a few goes on it as a season pass holder and it is too full of campy buildings. Not a favourite of mine

    Yeah, I was never a huge fan of it including its remake Chinatown in MW and MWR.

    Same tried it out tonight for the double XP and tbh hated it. Went back to normal rotation

    The amount of players taking hits in hardcore is ridiculous. Beyond a joke at this stage

    I got a hit marker with one of the snipers this morning in hardcore Dom. Didn’t think that was possible.

    Starting to get fairly fed up with this game now. War is the only mode that’s ok and that’s getting monotonous with only 3 maps.

    Every game of tdm is a sweat fest. If I’m not using ppsh/fg/bar I get destroyed. Played 3 games in a row. Different lobbies and all finished within less than 5 kills 75-73 75-72 75-74. 3 different lobbies.

    In all the other cods I could at least mess around with other guns and have fun. Got dark matter in bo3 and some of the weapons were rough but most were usable.

    Starting to feel like going back to bo3

    I would be playing BO3 if I didn't keep getting the 0 to 50 matches thing, I can never join a match on the game. It's been about 5 months since I've been able to play the BO3 MP as a result of this.

    As for WW2, I'm getting annoyed of the low amount of maps and seeing the DLC, only 3 MP maps.... like COME ON.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,582 ✭✭✭NoviGlitzko


    Does anyone know the activity or if hacks are persistent in previous COD's? I know World at War has been unplayable for years and MW3 had a few hackers but it was still playable a couple of years ago. I'd really like to give something like Black Ops 1 a go again if the lobbies were grand for the most part.

    I play Black Ops 1 quite often on Xbox One and it seems fine to me.

    The last old cod I played was MW2...sh1t loads of hackers but it was possible to get in decent lobbys with none but was over a year ago.

    Its a shame WaW has been fecked for years as it was one of my favourites.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,582 ✭✭✭NoviGlitzko


    Thanks I'll give BO1 a go later.

    Same my favourite COD. Shame it is as I'd be still playing it now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,878 ✭✭✭heroics


    I think I’m done with cod ww2. Every lobby is a sweat fest. If I don’t use stg bar or ppsh I get sh1t on and even with them I have to go full try hard nearly every lobby just to go even or slightly positive. GG also showed how absolutely f**king useless most of the guns are. Even when all players show as 3 bar the game seems laggy as f*ck as well

    Going back to BLOPS3 I reckon

    I can never pin down what it is about Treyarch's mp I love.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,283 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    I started Battlefield 1 over the Christmas period, and I'm usually a CoD fanboy over Battlefield, but Battlefield won this one by far. They went back and still made it feel original, whereas CoD felt like a reskinned WaW, and had a old feel to it. I've already put more time into it than I did WWII. I know they've had a lot more time to refine it, but very poor CoD this time around. I had a feeling I wouldn't like it, it's too familiar, with nothing new worth mentioning. Add in all the problems as outlined above and in the other thread!

    I like WW2 but would love if Treyarch came back with literally an updated Black Ops without jetpacks or whatever. BO3 would have been very close to great without the boosters so hopefully they're gone this time.

    Editing this to say how much I hate shotguns.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,666 ✭✭✭✭sryanbruen


    Ok, WW2 is now in with my least favourite CODs of MW3 and Ghosts.

    I can 100% agree with this especially after the stupid buff of the Combat Shotgun - which was not needed.

    With the combat shotgun the way it is, there's absolutely 0 incentive to use any shotgun in the game. I love close quarters combat but with the way it is, there's just no point.

    Maybe look back through the thread, especially through the first few pages and you’ll see why.

    The developers seem to be listening to much to the MLG players like Optic Scump it whatever his name is they are nerfing the M1 Girande because the competitive players were moaning about how quickly it killed up close, no one bloody uses it in public matches they probably account for 1% of the player base interested in MLG, so build a version of the game for them. That’s why we see the constant nerds for the bar etc they need to start listening to the normal players who just want to have fun!

    9 maps on release and they are mainly meh and thats being kind.

    Seriously broken perk system(if it can even be called that).

    Headglitching.

    The guns are a bit boring too...doesn't help that they are nerfing/boosting guns 2 months after release.....

    I mean in fairness on your last point, perfect weapon balance is extremely hard to achieve in Call of Duty, the closest being in my opinion was Black Ops 2 and that had a ton of buffs or nerfs. Remember the death threats Vonderhaar had received from the sniper community for nerfing the DSR-50?

    But yeah, there's a lot more you could add to that list. However, we've all pretty much named them all.
