compared to mw2019 its extremely sluggish and stiff
Yeah, probably cause they're going for a more "realistic" angle, which nobody really wanted or asked for.
Like, MW19 had a good balance of looking realistic but still playing well.
This seems like they're leaning really hard into being a more realistic game and that's just not working.
tribal crypt
yeah its like they're going back to the cod ghosts days
of trying to make the game tactical

yeah, and nobody liked CoD Ghosts.

and even then i think CoD Ghosts would've played better than MW22

honest opinion of mw22 is that it feels better than vanguard did, but it is very mid so far.

eh
MW19 was okay but it had a LOT of problems, and MW2 has fixed exactly none of those problems, and introduced a lot of new ones for no good reason
lost kelp
Well slide canceling "removed" thats something
brittle portal
Well that's IW catering to the casual player by removing aggressive movement options, something that they've decided they love doing.
it's the same reason you can't shoot while sliding or dolphin diving, and why there's a substantial delay between doing those things and shooting. Hell, even sprint-to-fire time is really long.
next rapids
yeah not a fan of all that, hinders aggressive playstyles too much
brittle portal
Like, really the only option left is jump peaking corners and bhopping. That's it.

yeah and it shows
bunny hopping and jumping are the meta because going around corners otherwise is ridiculously slow and unviable

weapon mounting is bound to mouse5 which is so stupid lmao

yeah and perhaps that matters more in the short lifespan of the previous COD games
but considering MW2 has a 2 year support plan, its double the length that it used to be, plenty of time for people to level
next rapids
still doesn't change the fact that some people will want to be good at the game for those reasons
onyx nest
and if someone really cares that you have a special camo its honestly kinda sad
play the game, grind if you want, have fun
don't be a toxic asshole
In ranked you know how good exactly you are which is way more rewarding
and everyone can get along
COD has always had the elitist attitude surrounding it, it doesn't matter if you are good or not, literally not at all
next rapids
of course
onyx nest
what annoys me most about all the controversy and whining about MW2 is that a ton of the people complaining are also the same people looking back on the glory days and saying that gaming is missing the intense toxicity they used to experience when they were teenagers playing the older games. Toxicity isn't a good thing... at all. And quite honestly I completely understand why IW are doing what they are doing, because just as activision has had problems internally with badly-adjusted individuals, they know their games also perpetuate some harmful bullshit that they want gone, especially if this microsoft sale does go through.

But I played the beta for about 2-3 hours today, didn’t really enjoy it tbh, got a few gripes with some relatively small things but most of it boils down to the overarching mechanics of cod itself which won’t be changed, so overall I’ve just decided that cod isn’t for me
onyx nest
But I played the beta for about 2-3 hours today, didn’t really enjoy it tbh, got...
this is how I felt about COD growing up. COD as a game wasn't for me, until MW19 came around and I actually saw it and liked how it played. Sure it still had a lot of what made COD what it is, but it started to ease it on the path that made me enjoy it as well, and MW2 is kinda an extension of that. If it pisses off hardcore fans then so be it.
sacred iron
I’m not even a hardcore fan, this was the first cod I’ve played, I can see how this entry differs from past ones in terms of pacing, but looking at it in isolation still led me to that conclusion
rare thorn
I loved BO1. I played that game to death. I played a lot of MW2 and COD4, and World at War. And I even kinda enjoyed Black Ops 2. But since then, they have just been not for me. Maybe it’s just me though, and not the game.
onyx nest
The game has changed a lot, but I think a lot of people don't realize that they maybe have changed as well. The game is never going back to what it was back then, and maybe that makes people sad, but even if a lot of stuff was changed, I imagine that the hardcore long-time fans would find more to moan about and say in just the same way that they don't enjoy it as much as the classics.
Its impossible to live up to the expectations of gamers, especially the ones that just want a nostalgia trip
rare thorn
I don’t think they should even go back to how it was before.
Mainly because those games were so simple compared to games now.
But I feel a lot of it comes down to how monetizeable the game is.
onyx nest
I don’t think they should even go back to how it was before.
Mainly because th...
of course it does, its all about monetisation
rare thorn
More simple the game is, the less stuff you can offer and monetize.
onyx nest
thats the real reason behind 'catering to campers'. If campers are punished and only the top-tier players succeed, the campers don't change their playstyle (mostly, some might try to change and improve), they just quit the game...
thats the truth of it
and that means loads of potential missed sales of battlepasses and skins and cosmetics
now the games on a 2 year cycle, they need that player retention to keep the money flowing
sacred iron
Yup, that’s why the took this route
rare thorn
My friend brought up something about paid battlepasses that for some reason I never even considered. But you literally pay for a battlepass for a chance to not even get all the content it offers.
sacred iron
But games that do that aren’t the games I like
rare thorn
It seems like such a simple downside but for some reason I never even thought about it.
sacred iron
My friend brought up something about paid battlepasses that for some reason I ne...
That’s the main reason why battlepasses are such a powerful monetisation scheme. When you buy a pass you are essentially locked into playing that game alone, since if you don’t it would be a waste of money, and if you miss out those later tiers it’s gone for good
onyx nest
My friend brought up something about paid battlepasses that for some reason I ne...
yeah its something you just deal with, thats why people will grind the battlepass once theyve invested in it, cause once the season ends, the content is gone and limited to only those who unlocked it
FOMO in effect
sacred iron
As once you buy the pass, you feel more inclined to spend more money, hence the shop gets more purchases since you know you’ll be playing the game anyway
onyx nest
COD generally does it pretty well too, because technically you only need to buy the battlepass once
rare thorn
It just feels like every game is progressively getting more and more predatory.
onyx nest
as you complete it, you get COD points, which if you get enough, covers the cost of the next seasons pass

I bought the gold edition out of hype, I don’t know why because I knew I wouldn’t be grinding for any skins

But it’s also F2P. Which games like BF and COD aren’t.
Yet they all follow the same monetization and retention schemes.

But then some games give you the battlepasses for free. Like Fallout 76
thats partly because fallout 76 was a disaster of a game, and they needed to do something to get people interested
rare thorn
I feel like full price games shouldn’t have paid battlepasses if they want to have a battlepass system.
F2P, sure. I guess. Go for it.
But gamers like me buy into it for some reason so it’s our fault.

Yeah there wasnt a chance in hell ww3 was gonna go anywhere

That game has died like 4 times now

Honestly, the game feels like it'd be great for whatever extraction mode it has planned
I might give Warzone a try since the game feel--feels more like it's trying to more survival game-mode focused
I don't get Call of Duty vibes I get a mix of Rising Storm and Insurgency vibes without a 'class' system

am i the only that start shooting first and hitting my shots on someone in MW2 but somehow i end up dying like in a fraction of a half a second?
maybe its something related with weapons and attachements but holy shit...

Tried mw invasion to expect a battlefield feel. Nah it was pure ass, I had more fun with conquest than this mess
Hope ground war is better
Shit as well
elfin lark
Honestly i quite liked invasion

Invasion felt like it was trying to be Attrition from Titanfall 2
But the reason why Attrition worked is because the players were... pilots

Wall running sucked in bo3
I was expecting something like titanfall
I was severely disappointed

my only experience with wall running in BO3 is in that one zombies map
idk the name lol
is the whole games wall-running like that..?
polar wren
Yeah the cod version of battlefield is a complete mess
Makes sense why you rarely see it on well known cod YouTubers
Because they are all playing the superior search and destroy
I thought I was ass when playing the invasion or ground war. Nope I got top 5 areas in both rounds

I really tried to enjoy it too :(
worthy helm
im not even gonna download it if it hits gamepass
cod died back in 2012 for me sadly
elfin lark
Now i might be a basic bitch, but im liking the beta so far
worthy helm
sound is fire tho. best thing about it imo
nocturne badge
It feels like the focus is on survival-type modes like Warzone due to it's slower nature

The colors and visuals of the map feel, idk, stale? bland?

Really reminds me of the open areas of battlefield

The maps don't really stand out from each other except for like one map

I must say i am not a fan of that museum map

And god help you if you go outside

This game literally pushes you to be passive.
This is why i don't find mw2 as much fun. Vanguard felt like quake on steriods. But that feeling is lacking completely in mw2. I play cod for its aggressive, in your face gameplay and in mw2 it's a lot less appealing to play like that.

Casual matchmaking will be untouched.

They did it back on cold war and nothing changed.

they're glorified demos

then sorry to burst your bubble there's not going to be much change at launch
maybe some balance tweaks here and there
but no drastic changes

didn't say there would

the ironic part is it started crashing more after they made "fix" for crashing

the only thing thats kinda annoyed me about the beta is that they didn't include the blueprint system for the gunsmith, which I sorta get because theres only a few guns that actually have progression, but its still annoying
you only have 10 loadout slots and I ended up making a new one for each gun so I didn't lose my preferred attachment configuration on the ones i'd completed
its gonna be there for full release tho so im not too worried

yeah, they need to fix the footstep audio; enemies being silent when walking is ...
silent?
idk what's up with your game
footsteps are crazy loud
or do you mean actual slow walking
spark oxide
or do you mean actual slow walking
like, anything below a sprint
sprinting is nice and loud but anything slower and it's like they're ghosts
next rapids
hmm
onyx nest
to be fair I think they need to tone down the footstep noise a bit in general, maybe give walking a slight boost but maybe reduce the levels on sprint and tac sprint
even im getting annoyed at the number of times ive had someone hiding in a corner listening out for me coming
im purposely slow moving now a lot of the time to try and avoid it, but then the rushers just don't care and take you out in an instant
I try and listen out for footstep noise and it works some of the time but it seems like the 3D audio is a bit off sometimes, i've tried a couple of the sound profiles and its not making much of a difference
now ive just turned off all the other sound effects, announcer, music, dialogue, and even hit markers so I can focus on directional noise
next rapids
yeah the soundwhoring is a bit ridiculous, which again only harms aggressive strats
really feels like they're encouraging people to sit in one spot
onyx nest
I don't mind the idea of using sound at all, I like it in fact
its just the fact that I feel like im stuck in the middle between having to either go super stealth quiet and getting rinsed by rushers, or just not caring, rushing and getting beamed by a corner camper that I can't react to in time
next rapids
yeah i think people should be able to use sound to an extent but the loudness and accuracy of footstep audio is a bit extreme as is
sometimes i hear people from distances that just feel plain unfair, makes me feel bad waiting for them to come around the corner
onyx nest
it needs a distance nerf definitely, its fair hearing them coming to an extent, but when its literally through solid walls, it feels kinda bullshit
they obviously haven't advanced the sound engine enough to mimic real life sound physics
only time you basically hear footsteps if they are tac sprinting
onyx nest
only time you basically hear footsteps if they are tac sprinting
I dunno, I feel like im being heard even when im going at standard walking speed
probably the blatant amount of cheaters tbh
maybe its just that UAVs are so easy to get and I don't notice the enemy have one active
I spend a lot of my game time shooting down UAVs and counter UAVs, at least, when its possible to. Maps like hotel and museum its almost impossible to shoot them down because the outdoor area just isn't big enough and you have to be in a specific location to get a view of them.
next rapids
they obviously haven't advanced the sound engine enough to mimic real life sound...
it's a shame when they really flaunted their new sound engine and all
onyx nest
it's a shame when they really flaunted their new sound engine and all
I mean, its definitely better
but yeah, not really as good as they promised
sounds isn't good idk what the fuck they made with the new engine then
honestly the game is worse than mw19
onyx nest
honestly the game is worse than mw19
imo in some areas its improved, im doing better in this game than I did in MW19, but in others it feels like a regression
the game will still sell because people buy it even tho they arent enjoying it
happens with every cod
then they just keep complaining until next one comes
onyx nest
the game will still sell because people buy it even tho they arent enjoying it
which is kinda sad really
I mean, I don't like some things about it, but im still enjoying it plenty enough
and I imagine after release if the playerbase isn't what IW had hoped or they are still getting criticism they may decide to make some of the requested changes, they did in MW19, so will have to see
game has a 2 year support length so its double what all the past games had, they need to make it last
ye i will check it when it comes to game pass
next rapids
with all the complaints i'm sure they'll make some changes after release, especially if they want people to play it for 2 years
charred quail
and player character visibility needs to be adjusted
next rapids
we need nametags back
charred quail
also particle effects from grenades etc are client-side so if you have higher effect settings you are at a disadvantage

so many times i'll look at what i think is a dead body and it'll shoot at me

needs to be toned down or fixed

the met police wouldn't disclose the persons identity when they're currently investigating
the dude is supposedly part of the lapsus$ hacker group, which have done a lot of much worse shit than the rockstar leak
only info from the investigation so far is that the 'hack' was more just social engineering rather than a backdoor attack
timid kindle
Lmao wtf
onyx nest
so in the end, it was just human error, likely someone being harassed by 2FA requests or some shit that ended up giving them access
so rockstar are probably focusing on internal security practices and the person who fucked up will end up unemployed if they aren't already

No-stock attachment in Cod is still OP, omg
removing the stock doesn't increase your ADS speed
please
people are already jumping around corners with stockless mp5
it's hideous to look at
lost kelp
removing the stock doesn't increase your ADS speed
Reducing the weight of the weapon doesn't make it easier and faster to ADS
charred quail
the contact of the buttstock and your shoulder makes it easier to ads
onyx nest
does removing the stock massively decrease accuracy?
I haven't checked the stats on it so I don't know
but really it should
lost kelp
does removing the stock massively decrease accuracy?
Well logically it should
onyx nest
yeah thats what I mean
velvet bay
Yes but this is CoD we're talking about
lost kelp
Yes but this is CoD we're talking about
Especially the older ones
onyx nest
accuracy and recoil control should both be effected, but honestly the stats with the attachments don't actually show that much different on the bar graph when you're building your preferred loadout
it seems like all the attachments do make a difference in gameplay but actually trying to gauge it in the gunsmith isn't too great
they definitely should have added the firing range/practice mode in the beta
onyx nest
the meta guns usually are
charred quail
I cringe every time I see one of those m4s in mw19, now they have arrived to mw2
onyx nest
I purposely refuse to play meta guns and always just use a fun or interesting build even if im at a disadvantage
I don't give a flying fuck, I like the look of a gun, I like how it feels to use... sure it doesn't have the insane ADS speed, fast fire rate or damage output, and im gonna get rinsed by the meta player, its whatever
honestly feels more satisfying to make a non-meta gun work for you and play well with it than just following the sheep and using whatever the best most OP gun is at the time
next rapids
yeah i try to use what's most fun to me
sometimes i switch to meta guns to stomp for a while but never in my life have i purposefully made a gun ugly
aesthetics > functionality
if a gun looks like ass it's never getting touched
onyx nest
id actually like gunsmith to feature a weapon gallery of all your loadouts and weapon builds just on a wall or table display or something, they had the table layout in MW19 but it would be cool to get an overview of everything
not really necessary but it would be nice to look at
next rapids
that'd be pretty cool
onyx nest
I have some good ideas sometimes 😂
charred quail
can we inspect our weapons in mw2?
onyx nest
i'd love to work on a game just so I could implement cool little things like that, even if they really don't matter, its little touches that get people excited and make people happy
next rapids
can we inspect our weapons in mw2?
I
onyx nest
yeah you can, animations are better than they were in MW19 as well
they did a really good job on them
timid kindle
Also I hope there isnt officer ranks on full release bc that was shit
next rapids
hyper always kills it with animations

officer ranks were amazing with how much variety there was in challenges
but i'd also like to see prestige come back

Yea but I don’t wanna get to 155 just to prestige
next rapids
then don't
onyx nest
what audio mix is everyone playing on btw? they are supposed to all have different balances but having used headphones and home theater im not sure if theres a difference, im gonna try all of them anyway to see if ones better than the other for highlighting certain sounds
onyx nest
thats what im on atm as well
timid kindle
officer ranks were amazing with how much variety there was in challenges
Yea but they got rid of officer ranks when Cold War released
Wasn’t a fan
onyx nest
I can't remember where I got with MW19, didn't they do a whole rank reset thing with each new season?
timid kindle
Yes
stiff panther
i reached it every season i played 
next rapids
yeah officer ranks reset per season, that's what i thought they'd do with 2042 tbh
onyx nest
nah because the people who grind will get bored
games gotta last 2 years
so they need to give it some longevity
next rapids
i was levelling up multiple times per game, it's ridiculously fast
100% so that people can experience everything before the beta ends
onyx nest
if people can max level within like a week, it will be kinda ridiculous
next rapids
yeah absolutely
and just like you said, the game needs to last twice as long
levelling will be slower if anything
though i think they'll instead just add more "endgame" content
more challenges etc
onyx nest
I mean, I really haven't played much of the beta at all really, maybe like 2-3 hours a day since it released, and im level 30 rank, and have almost every gun levelled to the max as well
next rapids
weapon levelling is too fast
onyx nest
they'll slow down the weapon levelling, and then introduce the XP boosts like they did in MW19
next rapids
reminder that this is a 4 day open beta, if people are unlocking everything in less than a week with average playtime it's too fast
timid kindle
Yea but I don’t think people are gonna wanna use the m4 the whole time
onyx nest
they will probably have plenty of XP boost weekend events and stuff like that
timid kindle
The m4 also seems kinda weak in this game lmao
next rapids
there will be plenty of guns to choose from, and you don't need to max out a gun to get the next receiver
