The division level unlocks are strange. Do they not unlock until you complete the level? I am now Level 2 on infantry, but it still won't let me attach the third primary attachment. The third box appears, but I can't click on it.

It's a bug. Select another Division, then reselect Infantry and you can then use a third attachment.

I really miss my hyper mobile jump mans from BO3. I get that the PLEBS were sick of the future poo poo but this just feels like a huge downgrade to me from even BO2, muchless 3. Everything feels so much slower and clunkier and I'm really not crazy about something as basic as the Stock being specific to a class.

Old Town Road to EGOT

I'm enjoying the second weekend of the WW2 beta. It's way more fun to me than Infinite Warfare (which was loving garbage) and BlOps3. I think it's the best since Advanced Warfare and I'm glad I pre-ordered it v:shobon:v


e: Honestly, I think the screams when someone gets killed with an incendiary shell/molotov make this game worth the $60 alone.

Weird. I've played several matches between last night and tonight and only the one I just finished was on Aachen. Wasn't that supposed to be the thing that differentiated this weekend's beta from last weekend's? :confused:

Although I've exclusively been playing TDM, so maybe that's why.

4 bad maps (so far), terrible guns (thanks to 3 amazing guns), non existent hit feedback, endless grande spawning, the most horrible UI/lobby/party setup and terrible map philosophy? Sure thing sign me the gently caress up! At least I’ll have a good connecting to this slow as gently caress camping 2018 experience! - Macy’s, probably.

IW is fun as all hell and will continue to be fun as a hell. The only good things I’ll give WW2 are:
- Netcode
- Gun sounds
- Also ok loading times I guess?

You can’t soundwhore, they “fixed” the spawns so hard that now instead of constant flipping it’s hard loving camping thanks to the map layouts. Like there’s nothing fun about the game. At all. It’s just a dreary return to the 360 era CODs were there was no innovation and poo poo was bad and MWR already showed us how “popular” that poo poo is a decade late.

Actually now that you mentioned it, have they said what/how the micro transactions will work? Is it all cosmetics or will they do weapons and poo poo?

Alright it seems the grip does nearly jack poo poo just like how it used to back in Black ops 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knrri-CL_qM

Take that poo poo off and just go with quickdraw and something else (high caliber, FMJ (quite useful this time around), advanced rifling etc)


Also after dealing with propulsion abusing nerds in IW, there's a certain satisfaction in knowing people won't be coming at me from 1 mile above me, but I must say IW really has really good gun balance, even during the beta it was great.

I got the beta late but I am not feeling it atm. 90% of my games are smg spam and endless call on streaks in non war game modes. War is like a small version of BF RUSH which is fine if i could get people not wanting to play TDM all day and do the loving objectives.

Maybe if i stop playing with pubs it will be better. Add me on xbox: SuperXArmour.

Yeah, never play alone, only play with goons. Your frustration will go down, and your wins will go up.

Last night, we couldn't get the damned tank to the finish line (the enemies just respawn too loving fast), but we stuffed them completely at the bridge, because they'd only go one at a time.

All the maps thus far have been crap though, except mayybe the Ardennes.

The Garand is kind of blah but the new rifle (the M1A1?) is pretty solid. The penetration isn't great but it's better than SMGs.

m1a1 is a 3 hit kill at any distance, no recoil and with decent penetration, the Garand is a two hit kill at any distance but with significant recoil, I feel the penetration isn't as good as the M1A1 however.

Overall I feel safer playing with the m1a1 but the garand can make you dangerous up close as well.

Shotgun wise I've been having a good ol' time with the pump action (1st shotgun), adsing helps a lot to land those 1 hit kills at a decent distance. Though I've got to say so far all you need in this game to do well is PPSH for close distances, STG for medium ranges, commonwealth for sniping.

Sadly 3 of the 4 maps have really great corner whoring capabilities so the PPSH dominates the beta.

Pretty much this, it's a death laser if you rattle off shots but if you can compensate for the Garand recoil it is more efficient. I am just a scrub lord and have difficulty compensating, so the zero recoil M1A1 strikes a better chord for me.

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
I used to love the semi-auto rifles from back in the day, and the FAL is probably my favorite gun in the series, but I can't get either of the semi-autos to work for me in WW2. I routinely have both guns just stop firing after 1 or 2 shots, and then die. I don't hold down the triggers when using semi-autos, and I have this situation every game where I will be tapping the trigger and having nothing happen.

Grease Gun is underrated. The 3HK range is pretty substantial, and I really like it with suppressor. TBH none of the SMGs in the game right now are currently a bad pick. Even when Sledgehammer lowered sprint-out times, SMGs saw the biggest buff.

Mister Facetious posted:

Ardennes is the one map I like because a variety of weapons can flourish. Yet I still have a big complaint with Ardennes: all the junk in the middle lane conveniently placed to keep engagement distance limited.

Not for me it doesn't. Finally got to spend some time and it's the same old hitching, no-hitmarker, killed around a corner poo poo. At least in BO3/IW I can jump around like an rear end in a top hat, I didn't even use/need my Scuf because you jump 6 inches in the air and dolphin diving is only good for capping points in style. I'll be on today if anyone is running, just to see if it's at least tolerable with goons. If even that can't save it then I'll save my $60.

e: also watching people quickscope and having the crosshairs a good 3 feet above and to the side of someone isn't making me very excited

So I played the beta for quite a bit last night and all I can say about the game is meh. As much as I wanted the game to be like OG CoD with boots on the ground, this feels too much like the more recent games without jetpacks and wall riding. War is the only mode I had fun in because there was no kill streaks to spam across the map and there was a clear objective in mind without having people do TDM first then whatever second. Even though I died often, I still felt like I was contributing toward the objective and, doing flanking attacks and frontal assaults felt epic with the 6v6 matches.

The rest of the modes were kinda garbo. Domination was just grenade spam and SMGs with snipers everywhere. It made using anything but the PPSH or Waffen 28 ineffective. I had success with the Grease Gun only with FMJ and QuickDraw, but I wanted to use the STG44 more but the lower rate of fire meant I died before I could get a kill off most of the time. Hardpoint was just TDM in a section and just camping with SMGs and Snipers unless the other team got kill streaks and they just spammed it all the time until the end of the match. Kill Confirmed was interesting but why did they not put it as a game mode then putting it into the Mosh Pit. Most of the Maps has far too many choke points and little room to flank for side assaults.

I wish I got into the beta sooner with goons to see what the experience was but I am hesitant to put money down on it at the moment. I wanted to like it along with the challenge of playing FPS on the console when I been playing them on PC, but there are too many things that rubbed me the wrong way in this beta. I really don't want to pay 90 Canadian dollars to play War 24/7 when the majority of people are going to be playing game modes with things that do not make my game experience enjoyable. I mean I can wait for the PC beta but I know there will no community on the game in a few months time after release.

*Edit* gently caress this game. I just died 10 times in a row from Kill Streak Spam in a domination match from spawn.
