cel shaded AK

[next rapids]

so you can't farm bots

idk

[indigo gyro]

i wish we could play it in private match where we can change bots difficulty

[timid kindle]

I love that gun

[charred quail]

I fucking hate it

trash gun

[timid kindle]

Oh wait is that the 545

I thought it was the 762

💀

Nvm

[charred quail]

yeah lol

[timid kindle]

Lol is there a game mode that’s best for 3 kills without dying

hardpoint

Idk

[charred quail]

tdm, put a silencer on

[next rapids]

i sincerely hope they get a lawsuit regarding taraq and it never gets put in any video game ever again

[charred quail]

lmao

[spark oxide]

Taraq and Border are better than the F1 one

[charred quail]

what is it based off?

Iraq?

[spark oxide]

nah

i think it means the town

like, Taraq town

not a country

but it's based on that region, yeah

sidenote, FFA spawns are absolutely fucked on Border, but i still like the map

[stiff panther]

I like Taraq (kind of) and the Raceway map

[next rapids]

fucking hate the map but still managed to pull off a dirty tie on ffa

last second kill

[charred quail]

I put on a noob tube

[next rapids]

and then the game crashes

[charred quail]

joined a 2v5 snd game and immediately hear the enemy team trash talking

wholesome

level 18

so close

[next rapids]

cod discord is so ass

[rough narwhal]

lol i can imagine

[sacred iron]

I know for a fact that if I join it I will lose all my brain cells

[verbal sluice]

||split because this discord thinks I'm trying to send explicit materials ||

[verbal sluice]

I got instantly banned in 2019 for posting a video I made on MW19 for "self promotion", no chance for appeal, no warning, just "yer fuckin gone kiddo"

[spark oxide]

my favourite map in MWII, unironically, 100% seriously

[verbal sluice]

For a mouth breather who sits mounted holding one angle all game yeah, I can see the appeal

[spark oxide]

[verbal sluice]

[spark oxide]

nah i run around, but i insta mount or crouch when i hear someone coming or i see their feetsies in the distance

abusing mount features and no crouch audio

[verbal sluice]

I just run around stabbing people, it's so fun juking and then hearing peoples' reactions when they get outplayed

I got some people so upset last night and got called many naughty words

[spark oxide]

riot shield too?

[verbal sluice]

Haven't unlocked it yet

[charred quail]

naked aks74u is better than a fully decked out ak105 lmao

[austere sonnet]

where’s ak50

[timid kindle]

Lol

Need 3 kills without dying again

I hate this

Invasion time to camp

[charred quail]

so the short ak uses the dovetail mount, but the long aks don't

wtf

[next rapids]

realistic tactical shooter

[timid kindle]

Need 5 more

Till ak gold

[charred quail]

One would have thought they would done some researches about the ak platform, since they've spent so much time making all these detailed models and animations

[stiff panther]

Do any of you guys have the Benelli M4 leveled up beyond level 1

The 'expedite' shotgun

[charred quail]

nope lol

haven't touched the shotguns

apparently you have to play the shotguns to unlock some cool looking foregrips

[stiff panther]

There's one foregrip that I really like, I'd recommend unlocking it if you find out how

[elfin lark]

The m4 has some absolute ass range

[stiff panther]

'Cronen grooveshot'

Why

[timid kindle]

Using that piece of garbage

[stiff panther]

I'm not

[elfin lark]

Can you shorten the barrel on the lever gun?

[stiff panther]

I'm sure you can

It's a Marlin btw

336

[elfin lark]

Praise be

I found it unfortunate you couldnt shorten the barrel in mw19

[stiff panther]

holy shit

[stiff panther]

I'll check and see for sure if you can

[charred quail]

double barrel shotty is fun

[stiff panther]

There are barrels for it so yeah, you can

Also I was sure you could do this in 2019 as well? Huh

[charred quail]

didn't remember this gun was in mw19

[polar wren]

Haven't seen dirt on the 725 did they fix it

[charred quail]

the double barrel? still strong

[polar wren]

As in nerf the shit out of it like it deserves

Damn

[charred quail]

not as strong as the spr tho

[nocturne badge]

Double Barrels should be strong but not that strong lol

[charred quail]

so nobody is using the double barrel

yet

opes Handler already made a video about it, now people will start using it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlbOsqKqX6I

[timid kindle]

💀

[lost kelp]

Its not broken

Its just like every other shotgun

[stiff panther]

Clickbait moment

[tardy mountain]

mw2 could be way better tbh

[charred quail]

@stiff panther aks74u is much nicer than the ak105

[stiff panther]

yay, it wasn't just in my head, lol

[charred quail]

it's a 3 hit kill at close range and 5 hit at medium range

cod maps are tiny so it feels a lot better

[timid kindle]

Nah it’s fine the way it is

play vanguard with laser weapons

[shut wigeon]

I will still one shot you with my marksman rifle

[charred quail]

lol

shit's broken

[shut wigeon]

What is

[charred quail]

the bolt action marksman

[shut wigeon]

If they nerf my snipers and marksman rifles I’m uninstalling the game. They all work as intended

I don’t do well with reg guns. Takes ages to kill a person. I prefer one shotting people

[charred quail]

stubby boi

[shut wigeon]

Looks good

[charred quail]

it's the only ak that looks good imo

[stiff panther]

aww I like the 103

the 7.62 one

[nocturne badge]

Only problem for me is that grip

[shut wigeon]

To me AKs need to have wood

[charred quail]

without attachment it looks really nice, you start adding shits to it it turns into an abomination

[stiff panther]

I just leave the barrel alone

[charred quail]

I didn't touch the hardpoint for a single second lol

[stiff panther]

Play the objective

[shut wigeon]

Most attachments in this game makes weapons worse

[charred quail]

I was defending the perimeters

[rare thorn]

Usually I’d agree. But I like the way the AK12 looks. Even if it’s kinda a shit design irl

I love the way the magazine looks

[nocturne badge]

I will say the fake gun names and gun model mimicry reminds me of GTA

[charred quail]

oh you can dual weld the auto glock in mw2

lol

[elfin lark]

As god intended

[stiff panther]

I just want to unlock the chassis's's for it

I think it's also bugged

The 'barrel' chassis thing is at lvl 7 but i'm at 8 or 9 on the auto Glock

[charred quail]

oof

the pistols have some good sights that you can also use on rifles

[nocturne badge]

you could also go into private match and have everything unlocked for future testing or whatever

[onyx nest]

the game is now putting me in matches with people i've blocked

thanks infinity ward

game is trying to punish me and make me quit in every way it can ffs

[brittle portal]

The gunsmith in MW22 is really something, it'll really be like the trade request meme and it's like
"You get: 10 extra bullets in your mag
You lose: Movement Speed, ADS speed, Reload quickness, Sprint to Fire Speed, More visual recoil, Less damage, wider damage range, an IW dev coming to your house and punching you in the face"

[onyx nest]

The M16 takes a fucking age to ADS, like jesus

and im getting really fed up with all the people using the SPR, its infuriating

[shut wigeon]

If an enemy is giving you trouble, think like them.

Go where they’ll be going

Beat them to it

[onyx nest]

equip the SPR and follow the herd

[shut wigeon]

Throw nades use a weapon that one shots them

Annoy them so they have to change their playstyle

Camp and wait for them at an unexpected place

[onyx nest]

ugh I just wanna level up my fucking guns without having to meta play

always the fucking way

[shut wigeon]

Go play invasion then, fastest way to level up guns apparently

Shoot bots

[onyx nest]

im bored of it honestly

actually im getting tired of the game as a whole already

its been 3 days

[shut wigeon]

Cod isn’t like what it used to be. Matches don’t feel personal anymore partly cause everyone can have any username they want

[onyx nest]

but most of my experience has just been the odd bit of fun surrounded by hours of frustration because apparently whenever I try and play well I suffer

[shut wigeon]

Before people had unique names and you could spot tryhards I mean you can still spot them but it’s different

[onyx nest]

and if I just go all in on casual I might as well play a death simulator

[shut wigeon]

Now everything is irrelevant

No one is memorable

They took the soul out of the game

I don’t get hate messages on xbox because everything is crossplay.

People can’t write to each other and they even took out chat

They want to censor everything so nobody gets their feelings hurt

[onyx nest]

considering I never really bought into that whole fun toxicity thing I don't really care for it

I don't need or want to hear people hurling insults or funny remarks at me

I just want to have a chill game, and I dunno why I expected this to be any different tbh

[eager crescent]

downloaded MW2 yesterday and have started on the campaign. gotta say its pretty epic

[shut wigeon]

Were you there when Halo 3 launched?

[onyx nest]

never played Halo, other than trying infinite once, don't really follow it

[shut wigeon]

The amount of shit talking that went down in game chat especially by kids it was hilarious

[onyx nest]

I never really got involved in it, I know people see it as harmless fun, or most do at least

If I insult someone in a game, which rarely happens, its out of rage and anger on my part. At most i'll just swear at them in text chat, give them their fill and let them know they achieved their goal of making me feel like the trash I am and move on.

[limpid gull]

That kind of looks like the T1 skin for the M5 lol.

No proper push to talk 😦

[tardy mountain]

no slide cancelling, no reload cancelling, can't shoot while sliding, ui sucks, ttk is way too fast, sbmm is way too aggressive, minimap doesn't show people who shoot (taking away half of its functionality), unlocking attachments is weird and tedious, maps cater to campers instead of people who play normally

dead silence isn't a perk

buggy as fuck

aim assist for controller is way too strong

[austere sonnet]

[rough narwhal]

hardly any of those sound objectively bad though

(other than buggy as fuck obviously)

[austere sonnet]

Plus what even is playing normally like is it playing with meta or playing as a casual or being a sweat lord

[tardy mountain]

no slide cancelling - making gunplay the ONLY element of the game thus reducing skill ceiling

+making gunplay the only element of skill sucks when the ttk is very fast(turning the game into "whoever looks at the other one first wins")

removing reload cancelling is stupid because call of duty is meant to be a fast paced game. also nobody asked for this change

sbmm was implemented correctly in old call of duty games, affecting only the top and bottom 5%. it worked perfectly this way. Now, instead of judging based on skill, it judges based on immediate performance, so one game I'll destroy people and the next I'll get annihilated. and it's like this over and over again. No middle ground.

minimap losing half its functionality is self explanatory what's the point of looking at a minimal unless there's a UAV. that's a really stupid change for obvious reasins

attachment unlocking process is just plain stupid and only works for people who nolife the Game, which contradicts their recent changes of trying to make the game more appealing to the casual audience

[stiff panther]

yeah, the game is fine at its core for me, you might wanna play a different game lol

[austere sonnet]

ngl couldn’t care about slide cancel or reload cancel

[stiff panther]

I like what it's done, added and removed

[rough narwhal]

not objectively bad

not objectively bad

not objectively bad

Doubt thats how sbmm works

not objectively bad

not objectively bad

[stiff panther]

yeah

[tardy mountain]

black ops cold war is good

[stiff panther]

and you can cancel reloads still, just not if you've committed to it

[tardy mountain]

implementing changes that are meant to be in a slow paced game into a fast paced game is an objectively bad decision

[austere sonnet]

I mean atleast there’s no jet packs

[rough narwhal]

how do you suddenly decide what a game is supposed to be?

[tardy mountain]

that's different

[rough narwhal]

and like angra might have brought up, what about the reverse where they went hyper mobility with jetpacks?

[austere sonnet]

exactly this game is trying something different

[brittle portal]

The UI is bad and confusing, also looks like netflix, the gunsmith balance is atrocious, the weapon tuning either does nothing or actively makes things worse, maps are being removed due to using IRL locations and lawsuits, Activision can't afford to license shit so all the guns are fictionalized, not a direct issue but it's annoying, the perk system is not a good change at all, and the border crossing map is fucking terrible, especially if you're the kind of person that plays SND, because the cars refresh between rounds. Meaning that car explosion kills are always possible.

[tardy mountain]

maybe take a look at the last idk 12 years of cod releases and tell me if it's meant to be a slow game

[rough narwhal]

any iteration of cod is what it wants to be

[austere sonnet]

Each game has something that’s l either major or minor differences

[tribal sinew]

bf1942 actually had jetpacks

[austere sonnet]

somehow I can believe that

[tardy mountain]

it follows the same cod formula of being a fast paced dopamine dispenser. that's how cod always has been

[rough narwhal]

imo cod should have always had their tastes of something like mw being the slow line, bring back a hyper mobile series again, and then a middle of the road in blops of sorts

[austere sonnet]

fast ttk can also have a dopamine dispenser

[brittle portal]

Also, footstep sounds in Mw22 seem to be inconsistent, there are a lot of bugs and shit that doesn't work properly despite having over 3,000 devs working on the game over 3 years, and there are a significant amount of features that are just straight up missing from MW22 on launch.

[austere sonnet]

makes you want to react faster

[rough narwhal]

still, none of that means its objectively bad.. at worst its misleading to consumers expectations which is a different argument

[austere sonnet]

Makes you want to chug down lots of energy drinks

[tardy mountain]

also that was how shitty they implemented sbmm in modern warfare 2019/2022, vg and cw. It's a universal experience, thrashing noobs one game and getting thrashed the next game

it's getting tiring

[brittle portal]

MW22 feels like a remake of MW19 that was made out of spite.

[tardy mountain]

theres no middle ground in sbmm for middle of the road players

[brittle portal]

Like, there are very little improvements here.

[rough narwhal]

or maybe middle of the road players are inconsistent and even if everyone is within a few points of the average sr the game itself can have huge variance anyway

so basically, i doubt sbmm is functioning the way you suggest

[austere sonnet]

If your getting matches with better lads then all you gotta do adapt and improve

[tardy mountain]

regardless the changes they made were unnecessary, making sbmm strong like this is stupid especially because it's not a RANKED game

[brittle portal]

I donno man, this argument is ridiculous, the solution is already obvious, just have a fucking ranked playlist, they created the system for tracking performance already, it wouldn't be hard to make visible rankings and have a ranked playlist.

[austere sonnet]

other words skill issues but sadly that’ll be very kek of me to say it

[rough narwhal]

do people think random chance, natural team synergies, luck, trying something different, or any other "random" factor just doesnt exist because sbmm is in a game?

[brittle portal]

it's not that simple, though.

[austere sonnet]

Sadly there’s always gotta be something else

[brittle portal]

well yes. it's never just "oh you're bad you gotta play better"

[austere sonnet]

Have one lad that’s epic while the rest are shit is not really fair when your against a team that are epic gamers

[brittle portal]

no it's not but in the eyes of SBMM algorithms it is fair

because the one really good player balances out the rest of the not so good players.

There's a reason why this is considered a problem

[rough narwhal]

assuming thats only how the formula works

[brittle portal]

I mean, you have any deeper insight?

[rough narwhal]

hence the word assuming...

[brittle portal]

I'm just going off what i'm seeing, man.

[rough narwhal]

you dont see anything either...

[brittle portal]

??????????

[rough narwhal]

hence assuming..

[brittle portal]

Do you think i'm fucking blind?

[austere sonnet]

well

[rough narwhal]

your claiming to have knowledge of the algorithm and its shortcomings

[brittle portal]

Do you think i'm fucking stupid?

[rough narwhal]

yes

[austere sonnet]

The lad has been saying he thinks

[tardy mountain]

it's all from anecdotes and experience from like,,, a fuck ton of players

you can't say well uh you don't know that

because that's how it's been working for a lot of players

[rough narwhal]

by definition of "knowing"... yes i can

[tardy mountain]

regardless of how it works it fucking sucks

in its current state

[brittle portal]

Stop being a pedantic fuck, jesus christ.

[austere sonnet]

[rough narwhal]

ay you jumped into the conversation making claims with no proof like you commonly do, dont get mad that i can point out how illogical that is

[brittle portal]

You don't know any more than the rest of us.

[rough narwhal]

and i never claimed anything...

shocker

[austere sonnet]

lad clearly made an assumption

[brittle portal]

At least my claims are backed up by experiences.

[tardy mountain]

lol? there's no need for "proof" when everyone else has been saying the same shit

there's anecdotes from players everywhere

everyone has this problem

[rough narwhal]

so now popular opinion counts for something? cardi b one of the best artists ever because "everyone else has said this"

[elfin lark]

https://tenor.com/view/mujikcboro-seriymujik-gif-24361533

[rough narwhal]

a bunch of people making guesses as consumers with no experience probably isnt something to judge anything off of

[rough narwhal]

cool? you say that like i have claims which for the 3rd time i dont have any...

[charred quail]

level 18 with the 74u now

poggu

[brittle portal]

I mean it's popular opinion and it's also recorded experience that contributes to this idea. I've seen countless instances of really good players and content creators getting placed on teams that are absolutely struggling against a team of just decent players and having to go 1v5/1v6 every single round in an SND game. What else am i supposed to think about that? What else would cause that to happen so many times?

[tardy mountain]

we're not "making guesses" dimwit we're playing the game and saying it sucks because the matchmaking system sucks. anecdotal evidence shouldn't be disregarded especially when an issue is this common. you have nothing to show against this other than "ugh well you don't know for sure!!" when this has LITERALLT BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 2019

and everyone has been complaining about it

[rough narwhal]

people are literally making guesses at what the formula for sbmm consists of though...

[brittle portal]

Because what the fuck else are we supposed to do. IW ain't gonna say shit about it.

[charred quail]

matchmaking seems fine for me

[tardy mountain]

when you destroy noobs in one lobby and get destroyed by pros in one lobby and this is the only pattern over and over you start to recognize something

[austere sonnet]

let modders fix sbmm

[rough narwhal]

maybe there isnt anything else to do? even perfect match making will have in game variance because theres other factors involved that can result the outcome

[tardy mountain]

why not just remove sbmm and let matchmaking be random

[brittle portal]

Why not do that and have a ranked playlist. most of the work is already done for it.

[charred quail]

there was ranked in older cods right

[rough narwhal]

from noob to pros? i get that exaggerating but to even suggest the formula has a huge variance is a bit weird to begin with

[brittle portal]

yes.

[austere sonnet]

yea

Not that many lads played tho iirc but eh not really into it

[rough narwhal]

because its not fun for 80% of the player base to get their shit pushed in by the top 20% of players who would run the lobby

[brittle portal]

Ah yes cause the top 20% of players would be in all possible lobbies in random matchmaking, because region and ping limits don't exist.

[tardy mountain]

also SBMM matching players based on immediate performance has been covered by a lot of YouTubers and players so I'm not making things up

[rough narwhal]

i mean.. just using basic math would suggest theres 2/10 players in a lobby that are top 20%...

[charred quail]

don't care, I'm an elite gamer, sbmm doesn't affect me

[rough narwhal]

ditto

so im not even arguing for me own self gratification of a top 40% player wanting to commonly do good

[next rapids]

i mean idrc if 2/10 players in the lobby are pros as long as i stop getting lobbies where 9/10 are pros

[tardy mountain]

that's literally how it was for me playing cold war

[rough narwhal]

the only way this is happening in a proper sbmm system is if you are also a pro or close to pro player

[brittle portal]

Or not even pros, just decent players utilizing the meta.

[tardy mountain]

I did good one game and would get destroyed the next game. this would be the only pattern.

and it was the same for a lot of people

[austere sonnet]

Where the enemy team shit

[rough narwhal]

id argue your personal performance is inconsistent

[tardy mountain]

that's not the issue. because it's a pattern that is 99% accurate

[next rapids]

just how it is in a casual playlist, you'll get a sample from all skill levels, most average, some good and some bad, which is much more preferable to being pitted against good players just because you happened to be pitted against bad players in the previous match

[tardy mountain]

that's has been my only experience in cold war multiplayer

[rough narwhal]

as well as other within your likely average player base, which means games that are even perfectly balanced will just be a shot in the dark on which teammates are "peaking" or have random natural synergies

[tardy mountain]

also taking a look at the profiles of the people who I'm against also shows they are more experienced

the matchmaking is just flawed

[rough narwhal]

experience has almost nothing to do with sbmm

naturally youd expect people who put more time into a game to learn and get better

[tardy mountain]

generally more experience more skill

[rough narwhal]

but its not like i cant launch mw2 today and stomp 90% of people just because im good at shooters in general

[tardy mountain]

would you expect a level 756 guy to beat a level 35 guy

[austere sonnet]

but then there’s a lad with lots of experience but shit skill

[charred quail]

my lobbies are full of level 55 tryhards now, they all sing the gamer song

[rough narwhal]

doesnt matter

i as lvl 1 will likely beat a vast majority of players

[charred quail]

last game I had an italian constantly yelling the gamer word

[tardy mountain]

I would own level 20s and subsequently get matched against level 800s

it's not a coincidence

it's how matchmaking is and it's flawed

[rough narwhal]

you keep bringing up levels like they mean anything...

[tardy mountain]

level is, for the most part, positively correlated with skill

[brittle portal]

yeah to be fair, the only thing level really indicates is the amount of time spent playing a game.

[rough narwhal]

absolutely not

[austere sonnet]

higher levels doesn’t give you more hp right or better better damage right last time I remembered it’s just a number

[brittle portal]

Which doesn't necessarily mean someone is good at the game. You can spend a lot of time doing something and still be ass at it.

[next rapids]

if skill didn't translate between games and players could only have one account per game, then yeah maybe level would correlate to skill

[brittle portal]

also what kato said

[rough narwhal]

if youre going through your mw2 experience and your conclusions is "i do good vs lvl 20 but bad vs lvl 800" then you are already way off on trying to get to the truth

[tardy mountain]

whatever man the matchmaking just sucks lol

I'm not the only one complaining about this

there's explanations everywhere

[brittle portal]

i don't disagree. Like i said, MW22 is a game that feels like it was made out of spite.

[austere sonnet]

how many cod games have you played because if so you have the experience to be a pro player by this logic

[brittle portal]

It is not a good game by any measure.

[charred quail]

Chinese players spaming ear molesting noises

lmao

[rough narwhal]

ive not played nor do i think i will ever play mw22

[onyx nest]

okay the M16 is straight trash, im trying my best with it, but it isn't worth it

[austere sonnet]

Just casually say tiananmen square and they’ll be gone

[brittle portal]

I wouldn't either cause i'm not spending $70 on an activision game that's this shit

[onyx nest]

thank god ive almost got it levelled

[vestal lark]

who is playing to BATTLEFİELD BAD COMPANY 2

[charred quail]

nobody

[austere sonnet]

Now here’s a thought if a lad played cod waw up to cod mw2 2022 and his levels transferred through each game what level would the lad be

[vestal lark]

😦

[austere sonnet]

if anything his skill and experience in cod gaming will be godly and he’ll be to pog for the game making him a 0.1% top pro epic gamer

truly breath taking

[brittle portal]

Well, assuming he reached max possible level in every game up to that point, he'd at least be over like, Level 2k/3k?

actually

hold on'

[austere sonnet]

dang he must be a pro epic cod gamer with lots of skill due to the experience am I right

[brittle portal]

need to pull out the fuckin calculator

[austere sonnet]

like he’ll be consider hacking

[charred quail]

cod gamer god

[austere sonnet]

due to how good he is

[rough narwhal]

it definitely correlates

[charred quail]

has never once showered

[rough narwhal]

because god knows theres never been shitters that play a game a shit load

[austere sonnet]

But yet again lad can be shit

Also who knows did the lad really got his levels in a legit manner

[brittle portal]

Okay, so every CoD game since WaW has 10 prestiges, maxing out at Level 55. So that's 550 levels in one game. I donno how that works for MW19/Vanguard, though.

And also Black Ops 3 has the Master Prestige Levels, going up to Level 1000

but i think it starts leveling to that immediately after Level 55 10th Prestige, so that's like, 945 extra levels?

[austere sonnet]

also here’s a kek thought imagine if each prestige it gives you an extra 5 hp

[austere sonnet]

Ngl tho the amount of levels would be worrying

[brittle portal]

Assuming that prestiging in MW19 and Vanguard works the same way as every other CoD game, my math is currently showing that this theoretical person would be Level 8,645.

[charred quail]

the aug is very good

[austere sonnet]

By the gods of brother in Christ he must be a epic pro cod gamer that has the skills of the legendary Keanu reeves

he’ll truly destroy his enemies in a 1v6

With the flick of his wrist

I mean that’s how that works right going by stunna logic

But anyways ak50 in mw2 when tho

[brittle portal]

get off his back about it, the rebuttal's already been made.

Also, apparently the Intervention shows up in MW22's co-op

Which makes me wonder why it's not in MP yet. There are a lot of things that aren't in the MP yet for some reason.

[rough narwhal]

i must be god awful at cod in that case, i think ive prestiged once and hardly play cod in general

[brittle portal]

Plus, I think it says something that Joe Cecot, multiplayer designer for MW22, is just not on Twitter anymore. He just deleted his whole twitter once MW22 came out.

[rough narwhal]

I mean, not really

did you even see the post credits scene

[weak hornet]

The right thing to do

[austere sonnet]

I did when I mentioned ak50

[brittle portal]

The AK50 is kind of a dead meme innit

[austere sonnet]

Yes but hey dead memes hits different

[brittle portal]

eh

[austere sonnet]

just like making things up

[frank oasis]

happy to help

[charred quail]

my lord, gamer's trying to save his kd in SND

[rough narwhal]

when people think sbmm is only:

player(s) a+b+c+d+e=f
f/5 = combined sr

now find another team with close combined sr and thats sbmm...

[brittle portal]

probably goes by averages or some shit

plus i don't see how that approach would work when you take people joining mid-game into account

[eager crescent]

ya see, thats why I like bf1 and SWBF2. No sbmm so I can stomp on casuals and if I get beat then i can only “guess they’re better than me”. sbmm is annoying

[brittle portal]

well i mean SBMM isn't at thing in BF because the matches are generally larger

[rough narwhal]

it likely takes into consideration your previous 20 something games, who they were played against, who you killed and their sr and that feeds into your sr. now with that individual rating you feed that into a formula where it wont accept peoples SR that are over a certain number high or lower than the teams combined sr

[brittle portal]

you can't really do any kind of skill based thing effectively across 64/128 people.

[eager crescent]

I know that, but comparing the experience

[rough narwhal]

players recent 20 games sr (individual sr)

a+b+c+d+e=f
f/5

"balance checks":
individual sr tolerance +/- 100 to teams average (combined sr)
combined sr tolerance +/- 100 (between the two teams)

(numbers are made up, just used as a gist)

[eager crescent]

much more enjoyable to have randomly good or bad enemies/ teammates than having a “perfectly” balanced match, save that for a ranked mode

[rough narwhal]

no such thing as perfectly balanced

[eager crescent]

hence the quotation marks

[rough narwhal]

players have good and bad games, good maps bad maps, counters, different pathing etc

well even in regards to extremely close balance matches theres too much to consider

[eager crescent]

sbmm just tries to get it closer to a “perfect” match

uh oh, several people are typing

[charred quail]

I swear cod gamers are a different breed. This guy is screaming "such a little bitch" every time he's killed

[brittle portal]

I feel like that combined SR tolerance is what causes a lot of problems with SBMM among decent players/content creators, especially if those players are just good, but they're not always performing at peak performance because they're using off meta stuff to have fun.

[rough narwhal]

someone could just lose to 1 person over and over because they path different to other players and that snowballs the match

i dont think people realize how delicate a matches outcome is

especially with a random selection of players

[eager crescent]

part of the $70 experience

Can’t wait to get into multiplayer to be a menace once I finish the campaign. melee here I come

[brittle portal]

It does just generally feel like the game punching you down if you get better, because if you get better, or are already really good while using off meta stuff and trying to have fun, you just get matched against people who may not be as good as you, but are just strictly using the meta.

[rough narwhal]

outside of outlier weapons being too good, i think meta weapons are really only relevant at the highest level of play

a top 40% player shouldnt see a drastic performance difference if hes using any viable weapon vs people around his skill level using meta weapons

[brittle portal]

i mean they are always relevant, there will always be the team or person that just sticks to whatever the meta happens to be because that's the path of least resistance.

[rough narwhal]

its not like the ttk isnt fast enough to where the game isnt generally who sees who first wins anyway

[brittle portal]

either that or they use shotguns.

Also, TTK in this game seems to be weirdly inconsistent. Like i've seen clips of people dying while trying to kill a guy at range and they get like, 5-6 hitmarkers and the guy on the other end isn't even red screen.

[rough narwhal]

lets say X weapon is meta and has a combined score of 9/10, using Y weapon that is combined score of 8/10 isnt going to suddenly make your performance much worse

anyone claiming otherwise is just trying to compensate

[brittle portal]

well i mean if you're using the Y weapon against an entire team of players using X weapon and your team is not very good, then it is.

because you can only do so much as a single player on a team.

[rough narwhal]

"your team is not very good" is drastically more detrimental than you using a gun that is marginally worse..

using a meta gun with a shit team isnt going to push you over to winning either

[brittle portal]

Yeah, but see, really good players are often going to be using that Y weapon because it's different than using the meta X weapon, and they do wanna have fun, either for their own sake or for the sake of content. In that situation, many decent players will just switch over to using the meta cause they're getting tired of putting in the effort to use Y weapon. It's often a night and day difference in performance when this happens, because the X weapon is just so much better, in combination with the fact that they are just better than the enemy team that are just using the meta.

[brittle portal]

It's not a guarantee, but it does generally help your odds.

[rough narwhal]

of course your playing the numbers game, but increasing your chance of winning with a shit team from 40% to 42% isnt really something to lose sleep over unless its a ranked setting

[brittle portal]

I mean with SBMM the game is technically always a ranked setting because the game always tracks your stats.

especially since there is no ranked playlist

do you see

[rough narwhal]

if you care that much about a non ranked win or loss then id argue you need to reevaluate your priorities

[brittle portal]

plus it's just annoying to be a decent player, you're doing really well, dropping 30 kills in an SND game against people who are just using the meta, but you just lose anyway.

[next rapids]

just got fucking SPITROASTED by two people camping the door i was coming through

[brittle portal]

SENTINEL GAMEPLAY

[rough narwhal]

probably because getting kills isnt the path to victory in SND, even if it does help

[brittle portal]

well you do realize that killing the entire team is mostly how SnD rounds end, right. like, most teams don't just let the bomb go off.

[brittle portal]

damn

[rough narwhal]

original statement still true

[brittle portal]

I don't see how that's actually true, could you explain that.

because that doesn't make much sense to me.

[rough narwhal]

im not surprised

[brittle portal]

I fucking hate talking to you.

[rough narwhal]

you seemingly get active when im talking, could be coincidence but i didnt see you in here for the longest time until i started talking

at any point you can also just decide to stop talking

[brittle portal]

well i was seeing complaints about MW22 so i figured i'd drop my list.

[onyx nest]

something I wish they would add alongside all the other improvements is a way to filter maps as well as gamemodes, I really don't want to play on border crossing or taraq but I keep getting dumped on it, its like the game fucking knows I hate those maps

[rough narwhal]

original statement still true

[brittle portal]

you've still not explained your reasoning here.

[rough narwhal]

not sure if its worth but for the sake of at least trying sure

just because players in general, especially casuals, boils down a game mode where the objective to win is NOT getting kills doesnt mean that the objective to win changes

[brittle portal]

I mean the objective in SND is either detonate the bomb or kill the entire enemy team to win the round. And most SND rounds end by one team dying. Like, sure you'll have bomb plants, but actual bomb detonations are relatively scarce, the only reason someone would plant the bomb is to bait people who are hiding into peaking to try to defuse.

So they can kill them.

[rough narwhal]

knew it wasnt going to be worth

[brittle portal]

What, what's wrong with that rebuttal.

What really helps for reverse boosters is that the game really prioritizes matchmaking with skill over ping. It's painfully obvious when the game tries to match you with people who have over 100 ping

[timid kindle]

What’s reverse boosting

…why in the ever-loving fuckballs would you want to base a CoD map on that particular track? If you’re going to make a CoD map centered on an F1 track, just use Monaco/Circuit de Monte Carlo. It’s got everything- lots of building, a mix of long sight lines and close quarters, and the tunnel."

[timid kindle]

Why is the SPR so aids

All I see

Is that or m4

💀

They gonna nerf that SPR

it’s coming

[brittle portal]

because it's an iron sight bolt action rifle with relatively fast ADS speed

and it's a CoD game so people are gonna quickscope

the addition of the marksman rifle category was a mistake i feel

[timid kindle]

Didn’t 2019 have a marksman rifle cat

[brittle portal]

yes. did i stutter?

[stiff panther]

[timid kindle]

you didn’t say what game

😂

[brittle portal]

I mean, i meant both.

[timid kindle]

Oh lmso

[brittle portal]

As in the addition of it to CoD in general

was a mistake

[timid kindle]

Where’s the Ak47 in mw2

[brittle portal]

It's the Kastov 7.62

[stiff panther]

That's the 103

But same thing, game wise

[brittle portal]

closest you're getting in this game

[timid kindle]

🤔

Lachman sub

Why not just call it the mp5

They did in 2019,

[verbal sluice]

[timid kindle]

Lmao there it is

going for the mp5 gold next

The grind is real

Next will be SPR

3 kills with out dying for the SPR is gonna be aids

[brittle portal]

Considering the amount of issues Activision is having regarding IRL locations in this game, I can only assume that Activision simply did not have the money to get the license for H&K designs, or a lot of gun designs in general, hence the changed names and fictionalized designs present in the game. I think this is happening cause of the most recent sexual harassment lawsuit, as well as how poorly Vanguard did.

[verbal sluice]

Is that why they removed the museum map because it looks too much like the real Getty museum?

wuuuussies

[brittle portal]

yes

because the real Getty Museum was suing

and it's why CDL pros aren't allowed to play the F1 map

and it's happening with the hotel map as well

[verbal sluice]

it's transformative enough that it should be protected under free speech

they just want money because their failing museum is shit and attendance is down

[timid kindle]

Why do you need to pay to use the mp5 name

💀

[brittle portal]

because H&K owns the trademark on it and you need a license for that

[timid kindle]

Dawg what that sounds like the most dumbest shit

It’s a video game

[brittle portal]

it's a video game being sold for money

[timid kindle]

A fucking fictional video game

[brittle portal]

doesn't matter, if they wanted to use real looking guns with real names, they'd have to pay for the license to do so, and likely pay royalties.

[timid kindle]

How did 2019 have licensed weapons

[brittle portal]

because Activision had more money i guess?

[timid kindle]

That’s lame

The m4 still has its name

😂

[brittle portal]

yeah but it's a mishmash of commercial parts, not a genuine military M4.

[timid kindle]

Yea Cold War had some silly names for weapons aswell

the FFAR

lol

I remember how dogshit that gun was

until they buffed it

Then warzone got ruined by vanguard weapons

That broke the game

No recoil STG

Lol

[verbal sluice]

dumbshit piece of shit game fucking broken shit alligator turd

GIVE ME

WHAT I AM OWED

[brittle portal]

$70 game, 3000 developers, 3 years

[verbal sluice]

us battlefield players have a saying for that...

[verbal sluice]

This is fucking bad

Just got off and am in bed for the night, I can still hear the sound of MWII footsteps in my head

get out get out get out GET OUT GET OUT

[hot stump]

MW2 In nutshell

[rough narwhal]

like most games, youll get it eventually

[brittle portal]

https://www.speedrun.com/mw2022/run/y6x8xvqy speedruns of MW22 are a thing

[cobalt goblet]

What colour is your bugatti?

[spark oxide]

ok, Andrew Tate, mine is no colour because i hate the Zero, such an ugly car

buy muscle cars

[spark oxide]

uhhh, so, MW22 weapon tuning is- weird

confusing as hell

well, not, but kinda

[next rapids]

how

it's the simplest thing

[brittle portal]

it doesn't do anything, don't worry about it.

[next rapids]

10% benefit if you max all attachments to one side

mild as it should be

[brittle portal]

negligible at best, actively detrimental at worst.

[onyx nest]

quite honestly anything that increases ADS speed is categorically bad, which is most of the attachments

ive now changed the attachments and retuned my weapons so all of them have the fastest ADS speed possible

with the TTK the way it is, and the fact that the person to shoot first is almost guaranteed to win the engagement, its the only reasonable thing to do with almost all weapons

its annoying because it means that most of the attachments are effectively useless unless you want to camp and get the jump on people or prioritize longer range fights, but even thats not an option because no matter what you do its guaranteed a player will spawn behind you/flank you and kill you from behind anyway, so having something that you can react fast with is 100% necessary

[spark oxide]

confusing as for why we even need it

changes seem minute

[next rapids]

i guess they wanted to let people customise guns further

[brittle portal]

That seems like that would've been the concept but they fucked it up so hard that i wonder why they even bothered

Like, I don't know what IW is doing over there but clearly something's wrong. It isn't a good sign when the multiplayer designer for a game just straight up deletes his presence on social media.

[tribal crypt]

probably better that way for his own health

since people on the internet are ruthless

[brittle portal]

i mean to be fair with the amount of things that have been fucked up with this game, the ruthlessness would be at least somewhat justified.

A lot of these decisions are just bad.

Like, this game could be good if they gave it some depth, revert the nerfs on bhopping and bring back slide cancelling. Hell, even add the ability to shoot while dolphin diving.

but as it is right now it's just a slow mess that isn't that fun to play really.

[spark oxide]

new teleportation feature

(yeah, i was camping RV)

[brittle portal]

that's a funny concept

if you're camping you just get teleported

[spark oxide]

it'd be gross

[brittle portal]

it'd be funny

plus it'd be karma

win win

[spark oxide]

i was lagging like that all game, made it even worse because i don't use aim assist

couldn't stay on target at all with everyone jumping around

[brittle portal]

internet issue

[next rapids]

dof

motion blur

eugh

[brittle portal]

yeah also what the fuck why are you running dof and motion blur

fucking cringe

[spark oxide]

cope

i like the damn cinematic shit

i even run vibration and haptic feedback on my PS5 DualSense

[brittle portal]

that's fine, just DOF and motion blur are cringe.

[spark oxide]

PC gamers... what are they like...

[rocky aurora]

[onyx nest]

thats the same stuff that happened to me in a couple matches of invasion on saturday, jumping around all over the place like teleporting, affected everyone in the lobby for 3 games in a row

was pretty bad

hasn't happened since tho, not to me at least

[verbal sluice]

$70+ interactive entertainment product

[spark oxide]

the worst thing i've ever experienced

[cobalt goblet]

guys

do i delete MW19 for marvel avengers?

[spark oxide]

absolutely not, fuck that

Avengers is such a dead game

[cobalt goblet]

solo exists innit?

[spark oxide]

i'm not talking about activity

dead = bad, in British slang

[cobalt goblet]

oh

[spark oxide]

yeah, it's pretty boring

[cobalt goblet]

guess mw19 is staying

[spark oxide]

at least with that, you can play MW and then MWII, one full, long Campaign

[cobalt goblet]

i like the fact the actual avengers many people know is there except ms.marvel

[spark oxide]

could be a cool experience

[cobalt goblet]

the cinematics of mwii >>>>>

[spark oxide]

Avengers shoulda been more like Spider-Man

[cobalt goblet]

i saw some stuff

post credits, where they go to mexico, the meme in the bar, Soap and ghost gets to know vargas etc

[cobalt goblet]

whats the drawback

[spark oxide]

Huh?

[cobalt goblet]

whats the bad stuff in avengers

[spark oxide]

you should watch, or play, the mission 'Alone'

[cobalt goblet]

yea i've seen alone

[spark oxide]

it just doesn't have much personality

[cobalt goblet]

prob the sickest mission where soap goes solo with ghost on the radio

[brittle portal]

perfectly fitting for marvel i think

[spark oxide]

it's linear as well, which isn't bad but when a game has no personality linear doesn't work

[indigo gyro]

pretty cool

for an unfinished $70 game

[brittle portal]

god fucking dammit

[summer furnace]

mw19 was similarly successful too so

[next rapids]

only $600 million

pretty big difference

[charred quail]

biggest launch, doesn't even have a day-1 patch

what a joke

[spark oxide]

i mean, only bug i've experienced was not being able to change my showcase stuff

like- emblem and calling card and operator

[inner pollen]

It wasn't released on physical media
So there is no point

[charred quail]

they pushed the pc version to a studio which made all those horrible 007 and spiderman licensed games

no wonder it is full of bugs

but even the console versions are buggy

lmao

[sacred iron]

I wonder what it's player retention will be though

I guarantee a huge portion of that total comes from pre orders

[charred quail]

it will be high, considering it's still cod, and they are shutting down warzone

well, "shutting down"

they are disabling all the modes and maps in warzone 1 to push people to play warzone 2

[sacred iron]

the majority of players problably don't care that it's missing fundemental features

[charred quail]

they really need to nerf UAV

it's 3 kills to get with hardline

everyone and their mom are running UAV
