Just finished the campaign. It was respectable but not a patch on COD4 or MW2. I actually think Infinite Warfare had a better campaign too, didn't really give a crap about anyone in this one, and the big bad Russian aspect was way overdone, almost comical.

Have to agree with you there, found it lacking in proper story telling myself. But it was enjoyable. Very disappointed with the mansion / hostage mission, had to shoot every light out and that bastard providing overwatch never shot a thing!

Booted up today for the first time in a week or so. Game is constantly crashing out to desktop mid match. ****ing joke

I borrowed a PS4 for a few days, where's the cheapest place to buy this game ? I'm only interested in playing the offline single player mode.

Love the VTOL, I'll let it clean up one area while I run to another and call it to guard me, non stop kills popping on screen

Killchain perk / Cruise missile / VTOL / Choppy gunner is my current setup.

Anyone try Support Helo yet? Being a higher reward i would imagine it performs better than VTOL which is already insane.

Robbed a care package and it was the reward, many many kills with it think it is 4 rockets to take it down.

As soon as I hear vtol or chopper inbound swap to pkm and cold blooded. Takes down a vtol and still leaves about 40 bullets

Rockets are a waste of time

Ditto. For whatever reason, people seem to ignore kill streaks in this cod. A vtol shouldnt get one kill after its initial bombing run if as little as two people focus it down.

But it takes a brave man to run outside and try to take it down

if I hear cruise missile, chopper gunner, or vtol inbound I’m camping the **** of an indoor area until it’s gone!

One More Toy · 18-11-2019 7:10pm

What I'm fed up of is not getting rewarded for seizing an objective.

In ghosts domination for example a capture counted a little towards your kill streak

I always play the objective and usually end up last in the table

iLikeWaffles · 18-11-2019 7:13pm

You can easily avoid being hit by a vtol while still shooting at it, if you go close to a high enough building (2 story) and shoot the nose. If you time this correctly it will just shoot you while the bullets hit the roof or cover. A riot is immune also!

HorrorScope · 18-11-2019 7:22pm

Just had a very weird experience here - how does someone turn around and kill you when you are mid execution????

Shot down 2 vtols and a chopper gunner on shoot house in a single game last night. Only killed by the enemy as the map is so small not the streaks

You were probably shot by his teammate, worst mechanic of the game. The only thing that tops it is having one of your teammates steal the takedown by shooting the person. It should be like BF were once you go for their tags you are not killed until the animation finishes and when you execute the move nobody can steal the kill. The animation is way off on some of the moves also, there's one or two of them were you stand there like a prick for about a second.

Homelander · 18-11-2019 8:36pm

It works that way in a lot of other games that have executions, personally think it's the best system. Remember it very fondly from Halo Reach, where half the time someone would rob your kill mid-execution. If you want a risk-free situation, don't do an execution unless you're sure you're safe, that's the point.

Gave it another try and nope not for me. Prob fav game modes are Dom and hardpoint but I just can’t stand respawn delays. Like on a ha killed just as I cap it and have to wait 60 seconds no thanks

heroics · 21-11-2019 12:30am

So I’ve been playing this for a little bit now about 20 hours and I think my biggest problem is the maps. Generally in cod I’d have 1 or 2 that I don’t like playing but in this I don’t think there is one I like and a couple I absolutely can’t stand (the cave one, Piccadilly, and the bridge one)

I find myself playing shootout non stop.

That being said my top 2 weapons are aug by a good bit and then the mp5 then m4 so maybe I should change my play style.

'Big update' coming. I hope it is not too big and it goes completely the other way. Some things just need a tweak not an overhaul

21-11-2019 8:52am

They need to address the technical issues on PC.
Focusing on game balancing bolox when it has major issues on AMD hardware.

iLikeWaffles · 21-11-2019 10:15am

I don't mind that cave map too much but it is a camp fest, no other way to play it. Piccadilly and Euphrates Bridge are just poison, a riot shield on Piccadilly can be fun, they really need to block the bridge from looking into both spawns on Euphrates when both teams are playing the objective this map can be fun but because of the line of sights from the bridge nobody bothers, you can literally spawn on a snipers scope. Shoot House is a decent map, the 24/7 playlist can be tons of fun. More maps are definitely needed but because of the lack of DLC there will probably be a lot less new maps I'd be fine with them releasing past maps. I'd love to see Dome along with Infected, gungame and Jugg to break up the monotony. There is a whole lot of past maps that they could release and there was data mining done to show they are planned to be in the game.

heroics · 21-11-2019 10:48am

Wouldn't mind raid,slums and standoff as well.

I hope they are not listening to the MW reddit for these changes because that place is absolutely toxic - they want the ADHD COD back with the 3 lane maps because they can't adjust to MW.

I also found a Youtuber who has made 20 videos in the past 2 weeks with every one of them talking about how much he hates the game and how bad it is - he actually spent one video sucking his own dick about how high his KD has been in all other CODS and he can't reach the same in MW. Left a comment on his latest one telling him it's probably time for him to **** off and play something else

15.3GB on xbox that update. No idea where they are coming from with the size of these patches, A patch should just be redacting code so there would just be a few lines added or logic changes which would be no where near 100mb of update and that's being extremely generous as it is just text. They must be adding maps for later initiation each update. You'd be lucky if a GW map would even be 4GB with the assets.

Homelander · 22-11-2019 2:31pm

I don't get it at all. I got the retail version of MW on PS4 on launch and installed it 5 days later, there was something like 61GB of patches not including the spec-ops stuff, just literally updates since release.

No other game has these titanic patches every other few days.

Nightmaps in gun game, fucking shit! Why there is lights on the maps is beyond mine and probably a lot of peoples reasoning. The last weapon is the throwing knife too easy of a kill. They really nerf'd the shotguns they are unusable now moaners all over the place.

I think it's excellent. I love the farm map, could play it all day, the quarry map is really good too. It's really like Battlefield Junior. (in a positive way, while still feeling like COD)

I don't like the city map though, too much of a slog to the action.

I'm finding the opposite in this. Every other CoD, I would play support and take down killstreaks, but always had a worse K/D and usually at the end of the team. In this, I'm finding making the top 3 easy enough as support, and often see people below me with 2x the kills but I've more points due to taking down killstreaks.

I believe someone saw some code with 32 new maps, lots of which are old maps, so I think we'll be well covered map wise. I just hope that there will be a lot more for each mode. I only usually play DOM20, but playing TDM and TDM20 the last few days to complete some missions. And I've come to the following map conclusion (also, looks like there are more Gunfight maps than anything else...):

Euphrates Bridge - As mentioned, they need to cover up the bridge more to stop bridge sniping and make taking B better. Other than that, it's a great map.

Picadilly - I actually like this map, but it's very easy to get spawn camped in it. Not sure how they'll fix that, they've already updated the spawn points. But not getting the hate others have of it.

Arklov Peak - Great map, have had some amazing games/rounds on this map

Hackney Yard - Another great map, small but not confined

Azhir Cave - Have had a mixture of great and terrible games on this. Camping is a problem, but if you stay out of the cave it's much better fun, and will force others out of the cave if there's no action

Grazna Raid - Another great map, taking B can be crazy

Gun Runner - One of my favorites so far, wouldn't change anything about this one

Rammaza - Fun map, does have a bit of camping in it

St. Petrograd - Fun map but very easy to get spawn camped if you're on the hazmat side

Shoot house - This is like some other maps from previous that nearly everyone else loves but I don't. I don't know what it is about these maps that people love, but they're too small imo. This one not so much, but still not a big fan of it.

Aniyah Palace - Hate, hate, hate this map. It's only on TDM20 and i spend 75% of the time running around looking for the enemy, or running from the spawn points into the action. Pretty sure a few nights ago I had a game of this, start to finish, and I spent a good 8 minutes running around looking for enemies. It's actually so bad, that I'll leave a lobby with this as the next map. They need to bring back in voting, but not allow a vote for the previous map.

iLikeWaffles · 23-11-2019 2:54pm

Dcully · 23-11-2019 4:24pm

I dont think many of the maps are that great at all,some are okay others poorly designed.
Its as if they knew their recent maps were poor and they tried harder but they over complicated them in doing so they should stick to the tried and trusted 3 lane style maps for non GW maps.
Not a patch on the old COD4 maps, fingers crossed they bring some of them into this game.
The GW maps would be fine if they just toned down the killstreak spam and increased TTK, as it is everyone just hides in building and dont dare go out in the open which is just pointless, DICE havent make too many great maps recently either but atleast in BF games most of the gameplay happens out doors.

@ iLikeWaffles

The netcode is pretty poor all round but the tick rate is even worse on GW,for a game they touted and advertised as having dedicated servers it also has listen servers which suck.

Homelander · 26-11-2019 9:45pm

I don't get this netcode or tickrate stuff. It seems to me like people trying to blame 'netcode' for bad stats or performance. I've heard people complain about netcode in cod, apex, overwatch, the rest, but it's never stopped me from being as good a player as I can be, up to the actual ceiling of my skill limit that i am fully aware of. (cod, almost 2.0 kd, apex similar, overwatch platinum, etc).

I also don't get this thing about TTK being ridiculous. been playing COD since the first game and it seems fine to me in this game, i never feel like there's some mystery bad code dragging me down, just my own inaccuracy/failing to secure a kill/etc.

yeah i know there's tons of youtube videos about it, but seriously, what actual difference is it making to the average player?

About time they added new maps. For the TDM/KC only player there's very little currently. Picadilly, Rammaza, Cave, Hackney, Gun Runner and Petrograd just weren't enough at launch, and I think shoot house is ****, far too small.
