i've been looking forward to playing two of my favorite maps from CoD4, Broadcast and Chinatown......only to find out that those two maps were part of the Variety DLC and not part of the other 10 maps they said they'd release in December. some dude even said they have no plans to include those maps. wahhh

I'm not surprised it has issues. A lot of things changed in sequels for a reason.

But maybe they should have considered "just like you remembered" means within an hour of playing you start shouting "gently caress now I remember this poo poo!"as you disappear under a wave of martyrdom, triple frags and quick scopes.

I'm having an absolute blast spamming spider mines and shield charging down hallways. I love this future nonsense COD. I haven't really ran into any super laggy lobbies on PS4 yet.

I do feel like the TTK is super low in this COD compared to the others though. Sometimes I get bursted down so fast I don't even see my screen shake. But it goes both ways because the akimbo mode of the Type-2 murders dudes so fast I end up shooting corpses half the time.

It really is. Cunts either sitting in corners or quickscoping. There is no middle ground. It hasn't aged well at all.

We actually beat Hans (on normal) It was a pretty fun experience all around and I think it convinced Boston to buy it. I'll likely pick it up since I played the poo poo out of the original Killing Floor on the PC.

All that matters to me is playing with other goons.

If people play team based games alone/with pubbies, they have only themselves to blame for a bad experience (not counting bugs, obviously).

IM DAY DAY IRL posted:

I was having no-bullshit 7.0 - 10.0 KDR games the other day for a hour or two. it legitimately felt like I had the game genie turned on because I wasn't doing anything differently at all yet later that day kept going .5 - 1 with different hosting. I have no idea what is happening with this game
This is me (with a much lower good KDR, usually 1.5-3). When it's running well it's fun and nuts and though the maps are still kind of confusing I do all right. When it's bad it's loving terrible. Like if I had a spare Chromebook lying around I'd punch it terrible.

MWR isn't any better. Had a game on Vacant where I went 26-5 or somesuch, but the majority of them were "dump an entire RPD magazine into someone and get killed with a pistol." There's no way to make up for lag with the slower gameplay. MWR was just a bonus as I never played the original, but it's fun to be idiots and hush or whatever so I hope they get stuff squared away on both titles.

e: and since I'm a masochist I'm off in about 45 minutes and will be playing.

1.) Never play alone. Only play with goons.
2.) Never play alone. Only play with goons.
3.) CoD doesn't look it, but for all intents and purposes, it's an arena shooter; you need fast reactions, reflexes, situational awareness, and communication.
4.) Make sure to mess with the controller sensitivity and audio settings until you have something that matches your movements. Switching from speakers to headphones can make the difference.
5.) Mess with the Perks and guns until you have a set up that's either optimized for maps, or your play style.
6.) Practice. Or just play a lot. You may not be a natural, but I've seen more than one goon 'get gud' through lots of participation (or their hardware setup).
7.) Make sure you've done what you can to reduce input lag (TV/monitor/receiver/etc.), and aren't congesting your network with porn torrents or connecting your console via Wi-Fi.
8.) Never play alone. Only play with goons.

What Macy said but even once you get rolling and into some games with goons keep in mind you don't have to be a super killer to pull your weight. Capping points, shooting down air support and stuff like that can put you on top of the score board and is very much appreciated in every goon game I've been in.

If you haven't played FPSs for awhile CoD is fast as gently caress. Try playing a local match or 7 against bots just to learn the map layouts so you'll have an idea of where people will be coming from. Playing with an SMG might help, the default one is my favorite and you can spray bullets little laserbeams everywhere. Also keep an eye on the minimap. Because it's so fast, spawns flip often. Where your teammates aren't is where the enemy is.

It just takes practice. Blops 3 was my first modern CoD game and I was terrible for at least a week.

Getting down the flow of the movement is paramount. Choose one gun and stick with it to start with. Getting used to a gun and how it feels, range limitations, etc is key since modern CoD is very much a game of reflexes.

How are PS4 CoD goon groups found these days, is it still the community?

Coming back has been weird, I'm still superbad but my level of superbad-ness seems to vary wildly from game to game and I can't quite peg down why.

  • Map knowledge is a big help. The more you build up your mental model of the level, the less you'll get flanked or wander in front of a major sightline by accident.
  • Even when your team doesn't have a UAV up and your enemies aren't shooting, you can still use the minimap to get a very rough idea of where the enemy is: it's probably where your team isn't. If your entire team is pushing across the map, eventually the game's going to start putting enemies behind you. Be ready for that.
  • Try to avoid sprinting/jumping/wallrunning ahead without having some idea where you're going and where you expect to see enemies. That was an easy way to lose gunfights in previous CoDs, and this one feels even deadlier than most.

The thread has always been the most reliable method of getting a group together. The PS4 Communities and your friends list really only serve to make it easy to find already extant parties you can join, or to spam invites until such a group exists.
