What are most of you playing on? Is anyone on the series X? Just wondering is it worth changing from PC as I’m in between GPUs

I have it on both series X and PC, but tbh the FOV (or lack of it) on console is a disaster.

I'm playing on the Series X and I'm happy with it. But, I haven't ever played it on the PC so I've never seen the difference with the FOV!

The default FOV on PC and console are the same. You'll only notice a difference if you've actually set your FOV higher on PC yourself.

Personally I play on the default FOV on PC, so for me it would be identical.

Someone who plays at 110-120 FOV would have a harder time readjusting.

There's no "correct" FOV, it's whatever you're comfortable with and can play best on. But with console you have no option but the default 80.

True enough, but to be fair, if you don't take advantage of the wider fov, it's kind of pointless to be playing on pc. The FOV gives a significant edge when it comes to visibility

You still have keyboard and mouse as well as higher frame rates in all games that are advantage enough really for a lot of people.

Higher FOV also requires better aim and tracking as the targets are considerably smaller due to the fish-eye effect.

It works for some people but it's far from universal, tons of PC players play on default or low FOV.

All I play is competitive shooters and in all of them I either use default FOV or slightly above average at high frame-rate. Would strongly disagree that there is "no point" if you're not playing at high FOV on PC.

They are all great points and for once a decent discussion on boards! So thanks.
Basically I played at 90 FOV, maybe even high 80s sometimes.
I use an elite controller so that’s no change.

I sold my 1080ti with the idea of upgrading, but the more I think about it the more crazy it seems to spend over 1000 euro on a GPU alone! If crypto drops there is a good chance the value of gpu will half.
At least the Series X will be worth close to its price for another year.
I read the Series X gets close to 120 fps on 1440.

If you use a controller on a PC with a higher FOV the aim assist is incredibly strong. It's what a lot of top players use and from testing out various setups if you weren't playing with a wider FOV I think you would be gimping yourself needlessly.

I have recently ungimped myself and i concur.

PS5 controller now on pc.
mostly cos I didn't want to learn how to use a mouse after 20years on ps controllers.

Aim assist on the massive FOV is insane to be fair.

I'm at an age where if something is going wrong with the internet outside of shaking the little white box I don't know what to do. I used to play COD on a wireless internet and when it rained I'd lose connection so things have improved.

My brother was banging on about an a gaming router the other day. It sounded complex but it might be something I need to investigate. The older I get the better equipment I need.

Do virgin throttle the internet if you're using a lot?

I know nothing about this stuff. I assumed you just hook it up to the virgin box. This is the link he sent me. TBH what I need to do is a) get a PS5 and b) get a smaller tv or monitor and that should help me stay somewhat competitive for a few more years.

I use controller on pc at the minute, controller is goosed though - any recommendations for a new one?

I use a two-part controller, has a lot of extra input options though.

Up till recently I used a ps4 controller on windows 10
linked by cable or bluetooth via
http://ds4windows.com/

worked great.

got ps5 controller recently and i'm using this
https://www.x360ce.com/

to set up you are best searching youtube for setting - sorry can't rem video I used but plenty of them there.

on ps5 controller I found bluetooth isn't great but attached with a cable is very good so I invested in a special cable (Kontrolfreek) - be aware you need an A to C adapter to use on PS5 controller on that cable - but they are cheap as chips.

only switched cos ps4 controller was goosed

But if you are an xbox person I'd recommend them - they link to windows automatically.
we are a PS house so gotta remain compatable cos the 3 kids game too.

having a rough session yesterday, clipped a few deaths as I didn't know how I was dying, played some gunfight to calm down, drank some more which got the better of me and went back to WZ solos, stayed on the chopper to mop up easy kills, it's all I was able for.

Dude robbed a couple of kills but it was ok had the drop on him, easy kill. Apparently not and ended up in the gulag with 396 damage and no kills. Then something strange happened. Got out of the gulag but when I jumped back into Verdansk, I was awesome.

Following the circle in like a boss, engaging and breaking off gunfights, winning 1v1s, playing the final circle well and actually won a solo. Couldn't believe it. I wasn't prepared for the rush and almost passed out.

Loadouts are real important. Having your guns fully levelled up and ready to go. A lot of this is trial and error and finding what you like.

The Blops weapons are superior to the MW ones which is a travesty tbh I fear for the future once the latest COD releases. I won two with my trusty old CR-AMX over the weekend so it still works, I basically refuse to use Blops guns although I'm currently ranking up the Farra which I understand is the new meta and it is good. The guns I use are the AMX, MP5 (MW) and the AS Val. Good but not the best. Well the Val is but only 30 bullets and not great at range.

I can't live without Ghost but many people will go with Overkill so they can have a sniper and a main gun and get Ghost on a second loadout. It's not as important as it used to be but I get very nervous when a UAV goes up and I don't have it.

Play with friends, it's a lot more fun

Solos is weird there's a large part of the game where nothing happens, like 90% of the server is hiding in a room surrounded by claymores waiting for the final circle. They need to speed up solos - have the gas close quicker or something

I don't want to make it shorter. 25 minutes is an investment and makes it more exciting and meaningful.

They have do some other things. I'd personally suggest three approaches.

1. Diversify where people drop. The hot drops ARE so hot, so 50-70% of the server is dead within minutes. An easy solution is don't tell us the first circle till the plane is empty.
2. Make returning from the gulag a bit easier in solos. Either give some plates, or give everyone parachuting in solos like 5 seconds worth of UAV so they can navigate somewhere safe.
3. Slightly reduce the amount of cash or increase loadout price (for all modes). Loadouts are OP. They incentivise very aggressive starts, and then make those players dominant in the early game.
