I had bought this cheap for the (ok) campaign. I played multi for the first time (Halloween Nuketown) and while this is no BO2 and definitely not one of the better Cods I enjoyed myself way more than expected. Just in time for, in a few weeks, everyone else to move to Vanguard which I give absolutely no fucks about and looks far worse than this game. That said,Trump posted:Just reinstalled MW. Boy oh boy that's a good game. CW was such a downgrade in every conceivable way. One might say CW is poo poo.

I'm gonna miss CW when things move on to Vanguard. It's the most fun regular MP cod in a long time. I recognize the flaws but it's very fun and the zombies mode is very accessible and the cross weapon progression rules. I wish they could've had that extra year for development because by the time they got around to the last few seasons it was in pretty good shape. The maps are mostly really good, faceoff 6v6 is one of the best game modes in all of cod.

Decided to pick CW in the sale and the Season 6 battle pass and run though it before Vanguard hits for .. reasons. (If anyone still wants to play CW MP at this late stage add me ? GT: S1Nx81) Already have Modern Warfare/Warzone Installed and figured when I purchased CW id just install the CW content via this existing install, but this seems not to be the case and I am now downloading the CW "Base Game" + MP via the Xbox Game Library ? looks as if once this is done I can delete the Modern Warfare "base game" and have access to MW MP via the new Cold War "Base Game" instead ? this whole situation is kinda confusing ..

Vanguard zombies in the mw engine could be fun!

There is no unifying app. Each game is separate and their main menu is just glorified links to the other games. If you are in CW and choose MW/Warzone it will launch that game and vice versa. The same will be for Vanguard. The system is extremely bloated and confusing.

Bungeyjump posted:Do you think it would all have been better in the mw engine that feels much nicer though? I think given the direction the series is going, they should've delayed BOCW by a year to port it over, for better or worse. When you look at the attachments for the release guns and the first few seasons, it's pretty obvious they didn't plan on having that many attachments for the guns. They did a bit better job with the variety towards the end. There's certain things that 'feel' better in MW but in practice make the game worse. The way CW handles aim while bunny hopping makes for better gameplay in that specific instance. When I came back to WZ from a week of CW grinding, I dragged my aim all the way down past an enemy's feet because you actually have to compensate your aim while jumping in CW which is a small skill gap thing. In WZ you don't have to do anything and it just holds on them, which is just free aim breaking with no risk. I think that's fundamentally bad game design, in that instance. Precision aim assist quickscoping is also fundamentally bad game design in CW though pacerhimself fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Oct 24, 2021 |

Looking at Vanguard videos and failing to get interested, I'm thinking Sledgehammer needed to say gently caress it and make Vanguard multiplayer like Zombies with the same aesthetic and all the magic poo poo & ray guns and whatnot. "But muh realism" yeah well instead you're getting another brown-rear end WWII game except with holosights, congrats

Like the killstreaks, they're just shitter versions of what we've all seen done better. I really wish Battlefield 2042 was in better shape, so I can get my fun FPS fix, but that thing looks like it needs another year in the oven.

Like the killstreaks, they're just shitter versions of what we've all seen done better. limitations can help create good art, it's really only a "trap" if you're trying to replicate an incompatible formula rather than pursuing a cohesive vision taking advantage of the setting you selected if you're bored with WW2 then either don't make a WW2 game, or yeah go ahead and do a wild sci-fi dieselpunk thing/license Achtung! Cthulu, or w/e but like, it's pretty clearly not impossible to make a good COD game set in world war 2, and nothing about being set in world war 2 (or being a COD game) requires hackish implementation of the MW weapon customization system, having the killstreaks be sub-par versions of things done in previous COD's, etc.
