    Okay, ground war has drastically changed my opinion of how much I like this game, sucks so bad and that map is a joke. Spawns are broken literally spawn in a snipers sight.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,715 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Ground war is the only reason im holding out on this game, played an hour there now and enjoyed it.
    Had no issues with spawns, just make sure your not selecting a spawn point in the middle of being captured.
    As for the map, too many hiding places but it feels like im playing a decent modern BF title which im not but that seems to be what they went for.

    and then how does the guy that I game share with get access to the beta ?

    Just to get back to this, so long as your friend has an activision account, should be no issue.

    My oh set up an activision acc and was able to use other profiles.

    I’m loving the tdm (most games) I’m finding it quite dark though. Hard to see enemies.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,325 ✭✭✭iLikeWaffles


    I'll have to give it groundwar another go, I think what bothered me was it poorly imitates BF. Vehicles with no destruction to the environment is just a bad idea.

    That cave map is really poor for lighting. TDM is the only decent mode domination is terrible it does not encourage players to play the objective because the capture radius is too small, you're a sitting duck on flags and capping a flag does not count towards killstreaks.

    The placement of the flags on most maps is why the capture radius is small I think. Night mode is trash, can't shoot lights.

    That Hackney Yard is the new nuke town, it's a good map for TDM, but the spawns are broken. If you are on the roof in the north east the map players spawn in front of you.

    The Aug is way OP'd, AK47 just doesn't feel right compared to previous titles, M13 with a silencer is amazing! Shotguns are very inconsistent but that has always been the case. Mobility with light machine guns is a little too slow.

    I'll be getting it on Disk I think so I can trade it in just in case.

    Scavenger is actually pointless to have as a perk, with all the resupply boxes lying around.

    Had another go of ground war there, Spawns are pure broken. If you spawn on the squad leader you can spawn in the enemy HQ (out of bounds) or where they are flanking sometimes, needs a lot of work! Lighting definitely needs to be improved in doors the brightness setting doesn't do much.

    Played some more with a good friend, one minute we were really enjoying it the next we hated it lol.
    Gunplay is really good but there are a lot of other things i dislike about it.
    As a BF player i was hoping for a shiney new BF type game in a modern setting, im not sure this is it.
    I agree with a lot of what levelcap says in this video.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    Its exactly more of the same in TDM and other COD modes, exactly more of the same.

    Run shoot die respawn, rinse repeat.

    There is no point or goal in playing a team or a squad in any mode, just run shoot die respawn rinse repeat.

    not sure why they added Ground War its the antithesis to actual COD, people love the run shoot die single player mechanic, leave it at that.

    TTS is tight and Aim down sights is fast so its exactly more of the same in an alleged new engine :rolleyes: Still looks like a Ps2 game.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    I enjoy the feel of the guns, a lot more than previous COD games. However Ground War is just utter trash. I enjoy the regular COD modes and Cyber Attack is probably my favourite at the moment. That desert map though needs to be took outside and shot. Poorly designed beyond repair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,325 ✭✭✭iLikeWaffles


    You can hold right on d-pad and select a killstreak.

    Why can't they just call cyber attack what it is "Search and Destroy".

    I'm enjoying Ground War for the bigger map, but's not even close to BF. They really need to tune the recoil on full auto. Getting mapped by an M4 blazing away is a joke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,325 ✭✭✭iLikeWaffles


    They added a realism mode. Traditionally being a solo Hardcore TDM player this mode had me hopeful and to be honest is what I would be playing a lot (Hardcore in the traditional sense that is). There is reduced HUD and minimal player health but what sets it apart from COD hardcore is it's near identical to BF hardcore mechanics. There is no indication of killing the player you shot at all besides the hit marker sound. Hardcore in COD is pretty much set in stone at this stage why they want to change I can't fathom.

    I'm a hardcore player myself, I really hope they tune the gunplay to make semi autos more viable.

    The FR 5.56 absolutely can't kill in realism mode. I'm not sure I like that there is no friendly fire this will only encourage camping. I would team kill someone camping hard or being generally useless, usually this would lead to them leaving and help the team. I would run and gun in hardcore and rely on reaction time with the reduced TTK. Definitely there is inconsistency with guns and the reduced health.

    Just trying out the ODEN there, that is a fun gun to use. High damage 2 bullet kill low recoil but slow rate of fire.

    I think people are being too picky, again, with the latest CoD title. It's a fantastic game that is back to its roots. While I wouldn't be a fan of Groundwar, I actually really enjoyed it. It really comes together if you have a team of proper groups who work together, unsurprisingly. Even as a solo player, I really enjoyed it.

    But TDM/Dom will still be my go to modes. I was thoroughly lost on this over the weekend. Maxed out the first and 3rd ARs, the second LMG and half the sniper. All felt really good and different, and the gunsmith is pretty good right now, the weapon completely changes depending on your choices.

    There was still a good few parts missing in the beta, but I'm very happy so far with it. Most likely going to change my physical preorder to something else and buy this digitally, I will definitely be playing this for the coming year, the beta was enough to know that I won't be trading this in.

    Gloryhammer concert the night before this releases, and off for 4 days, so that's the end of October sorted for me!

    Totally missed this beta :eek:

    I'm not a fan of these "exclusive" deals, but a year??

    https://kotaku.com/a-modern-warfare-game-option-is-ps4-exclusive-until-oct-1838429056
    Survival Mode—basically a Horde mode for Call of Duty, available as an option within Spec Ops—won’t be turning up outside the PS4 until October 2020, which conveniently is right around the time the next Call of Duty game will be due.

    That release date seems like a good decision to me if not a little strange. Guess they foresee the life cycle of MW running into other COD's which from playing the beta has a lot of potentially to be up there as the best. If the rumours of 2020 COD are to believed it will refresh what might already be a great game and keep players interested if they feel like skipping the next instalment.

    On another plus side it means there will be more resources available to patch bugs early in launch especially those found in the beta, the first/second content drop might also see the benefit of woman/man power.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,184 ✭✭✭riclad


    this is just awful, A years exclusive for ps4 survival mode,
    spec op,s , in a years time there,ll be a new cod out, this is a big
    f u to xbox call of duty fans .
    At least you have a choice whether to buy extra maps or loot box,s .
    So xbox fans will be paying full price for a game ,but over 10 per cent of the content will be locked out for a year .
    Maybe it would be reasonable to have it locked out for 1- 2 months .
    the PS4 is already the leading console, well ahead of the xbox in sales .
    This shows activision will do almost anything if someone offers them
    money , even if it hurts the fans and reduces the appeal of the franchise .Call of duty is already up against strong competition from free to play games
    and battle royale style games .
    I was looking forward to this game because spec ops is my favorite mode in call of duty .

    Spec Ops is still on all consoles, only Survival is PS4 exclusive. There won't be any charge for extra maps either because there is no season pass.

    I honestly don't get the whole outrage over Survival if I'm being honest, I'm getting this on PS4 and will probably try the mode once before never touching it again. I'm only interested in the campaign and the MP, couldn't care less for horde or wave modes of any sort.

    92Gb on Xbox :confused:

    Original preload had downloads separated by modes ie campaign/spec ops/MP. Now its one single download after an update/fresh install yesterday of 92Gb.

    7 files become 1 when it's fully downloaded, 107.8GB.

    Modern Warfare, campaign pack 1, campaign pack 2, spec ops pack 1, spec ops pack 2, multiplayer pack and survival pack.

    Not happy about the loss of the ability to Prestige, that's one of the things that I like to grind for and I'm not talking about getting to level 1000 Master Prestige just the standard 10 prestiges we normally have to do!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,325 ✭✭✭iLikeWaffles


    No prestige :confused: What replaces it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,286 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    I did enjoy the previous prestige system, even though it reset everything it felt like an achievement. This Officer Rank system sounds interesting, but I wonder how long the seasons will be. Can't imagine being able to level up to 100 within a small enough time frame. Me thinks only the Pros and Streamers who play nothing but this will be able to do it.

    At least it's only cosmetic. I hope this system works out though, because having all content for everyone for free without paid DLC's can only be a good thing. And I'm sure there'll be some crazy coloured weapons or skins which is sure to drive the 'purists' mad. Love that people get so upset over a pink gun skin!

    I know what ye mean. I gave up on cod a few years ago after bf1 came out, but Im hearing this game is going someway back to its roots so for 50-55 I'll give it a whirl. If its sh¡t then I'll pass it on as a xmas prez.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,311 ✭✭✭weiland79


    Between SP MP and Spec Ops i will definitely get my money's worth. They are usually on sale in Supervalu for 50 so can't see why the wouldn't be this time. I got WW2 there last time and when that turned out tho be crap I traded it in to cex a week later for 45.

    Online from gamestop. Received it as a birthday present, medievil was delivered with it too, that's not out until tomorrow either. I probably wouldn't have bought from them myself, but it's handy they deliver early.

    It actually installed faster then I thought it would, a lot quicker then when black ops 4 ever had an update.

    Servers are live, won two games of gunfight there on lunch. Back to work soon, but looking forward to 5pm!
