Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)

[The Mars Volchenkov]

They bring back crash and vacant? Two absolutely ****-tasatic maps? Shipment is fun but FFS, who made this decision.

What? Crash is great. Vacant...not so much. Would have loved Pipeline.

 

[YNWA14]

The amount of whining about this game is pretty over the top.

I have never played a CoD game more than this one (time restrictions probably had a factor as well but...). I love it. I love that the matchmaking keeps you honest. Challenges are supposed to be...challenging, if you want to grind for them then do it (by the way, shoothouse makes like 95% of them easy-peasy without needing to be an 'anchor'). Playing with someone who is really, really good should mean the other team you are playing can compensate for that. Why should they just let teams be ridiculously unbalanced so one guy can carry his friends so it's 'fun'? I wouldn't mind if they changed to a league structure and a public match structure but I still don't see why removing SBMM should be a thing even in that case; maybe just create an environment where people won't take it as seriously (or just don't take some matches as seriously since your KD ratio, results and such literally mean nothing).

The bring back old maps and now there are complaints because it's not the maps people wanted (Crash btw is an amazing map). Eyeroll.

The things not working as intended and imbalanced weapons, effects, etc. are legitimate complaints but most of the stuff is just whiny, entitled nonsense.

...aaaaaaanyway, my K/D isn't great...started out around .7~ (I've never been super into these games, but I've also been grinding away at the Achivements and Missions) but I've managed to climb up to .83~ and have been really enjoying all the variety of game modes (the 2v2 Gunfight is awesome) that allow for all kinds of different loadouts and playstyles (all of which are valid). Just hit level 155! Really looking forward to Crash, Infected and checking out the new weapons!

I love this game. FWIW I've also never had any matchmaking issues, don't care that I'm not the best player in every match, and am fine playing with players better than me even when it's challenging. I've learned a lot from it.

I mean, the truth is, if you have curated matchmaking working as intended, everybody should eventually regress to roughly 1.0 k/d over enough time.

I don't have any issue with the matchmaking. Map quality and weapon balance have been the major issues.

People looking for easy targets should just play the campaign on easy. Plenty of cannon fodder there to boost a player’s ego and make them feel like a big man.

The only maps I have a problem with are the ones that are way too big for the number of players (honestly, the only map I really don't like is the one with the bridge in the middle separating two sides, and I never see it anymore). I don't think a map has to have a flow to be good. Personal favourite is probably Gun Runner but I think they're all fun in different ways. It's just a lot to get used to.

Sooooo when are they gonna hit the Snakeshot ammo for the .357 with the nerf hammer? It’s basically like having a 6 shot 725 as your secondary without using overkill. Using it with a riot shield is both hilarious and borderline OP.

 

[Turin]

Gun play, visuals are wonderful.

These maps tho. Basically sabotage the entire multiplayer experience.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Reverse boosting is very prevalent right now. I was working on a challenge to get 10 finishing moves and my kd took a hit. It got to the point where I was put into lower skilled lobbies and there were filled with really good players getting high killstreaks one after another. I really hope IW does something about this.

agreed, that bridge map is probably the worst in the game, much worse than picadilly. once one team claims that bridge, they can just set up camp and snipe til the gams done.

Same. People who sandbag just to dominate are scum IMO. Just play the game. If you end up a. It lower sometimes because you’re doing challenges and it happens naturally that’s fine but intentionally avoiding your skill bracket just so you can get high single game scores and such is pretty sad.

 

[x Tame Impala]

I'm only a level 40 or so and haven't been playing more than 1-3 hours a week, but am i missing something with these complaints for SBMM? I don't understand why people would be upset matching up against people as good as them or very slightly better/worse than they are.

Because they want the game to be easy and not have to try as hard, or something.

• Leaderboards will no longer display complete gamertags. This should help higher profile leaderboards users from receiving too many invites
• Fixed an issue where players would not be able to mantle while strafing with keyboard and mouse
• Increased the turn-rate when aiming with a tank
• Adjusted the camera orbit turn-rate while driving a vehicle using keyboard and mouse

• Added arrows under the players when using the Aerial Camera view

Shaders
Fixed an issue that forced shaders to be fully re-compiled after each title update. Shader installation should be expected mainly for new content, drivers update or changing the video card. New optimizations or bugfix that require modifying the shaders can also trigger part or the totality of the shaders to be re-compiled.

Lol so in a game starved for maps, they release only one today? Nice to see a nerf to the 357 but what an underwhelmimg update AGAIN.

This really is gonna be like COD WWII where it finally got good after it was too late. IW (or Activision) are really blowing this.

Is that confirmed? I know new maps are supposed to be released with this update. I read it as only a 24/7 mode playlist was added for that map just like the shoothouse one. I assumed the other maps are just in the regular game mode rotations? Im at work so I can't check myself.

 

[YNWA14]

As far as I can tell it was just the two maps released today. Not really sure what they're blowing given all the content is free and they've made plenty of reasonable adjustments since the game launch. The game is great and the roadmap is great. Go play another gun game if you don't like it; despite the loud, whiny minority there's a very large playerbase that's very happy with this game.

 

[Smelling Salt]

I haven't confirmed it myself but the patch notes said nothing about Shipment and Vacant and when maps are added they definitely get mentioned in the patch notes. Could be an oversight, but I doubt it.

The content being free is ridiculous. Of course the content should be free when the game launches with the least amount of maps of any COD ever. This game is $90 Canadian after tax and you play basically three or four maps because everyone drops out when Palace, Bridge and Piccadilly come up because they are atrocious.

The paid content

 

[YNWA14]

This game is $90 Canadian after tax and you play basically three or four maps because everyone drops out when Palace, Bridge and Piccadilly come up because they are atrocious.

Even if it did have the least amount of maps (does that include the groundwar and gunfight maps?) the game itself has a full campaign, special ops, many different game modes, completely customizable weapons, etc. etc. it's not like this was an 'incomplete' game when released. That they are continuing to add content for free and people are complaining about it just points to how entitled gamers have become.

They provide entertainment but it's also a business. We are not entitled to anything. They could make a steaming pile of crap and if people continue to buy and play it they will continue to do it; especially when most of the complaints are absolutely frivolous/whiny and, as mentioned, entitled. If it was a badly designed game people would stop playing it, stop buying it, and that's how you get companies to react. However, also as mentioned, this game has a very healthy playerbase and a large group of that is very happy with how this game is going.

 

[Smelling Salt]

I dunno, I DO consider it a badly designed game as far as the maps go. Basically I like everything about the game, except the maps. Along with SBMM (which I think the complaints for are overblown a bit), the maps seem to receive the most hate which IMO is deserved. I'm actually looking forward to the new ones.

I have never played Spec Ops but I seem to recall reading it's extremely buggy.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Really pumped for Crash 24/7. I kind of wish they'd do a weekly rotational 24/7 for all maps they can. It was really easy to learn shoothouse that way and i feel like the major thing holding me back from being relatively as good as i used to be is that i don't know the maps as well yet.

I'm hearing they added head glitch spots and doors making it a camp fest. I was pretty excited for this map as well but we shall see.
