Forgot to play last beta but just tried this one. Controls are tighter and no hyper jumping bullshit. Feels way better than BLOPS4 and which wasn’t that bad but nowhere as good as this.


Also I’m playing on PS4 but am shown as my Activision name instead of my PSN. If I double dip and also get it on PC later will all my unlocks carry over like Destiny?

They will not carry over.

How does crossplay work? I've got pals across all three platforms and it sounds too good to be true that we'll all be able to get together again.

Looks like cross progression is working.

https://charlieintel.com/modern-warfare-supports-cross-progression-user-stats-transfer-between-platforms/56717/

quote:

So this is big news.

Many users are reporting that players progression is transferring between all platforms in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Users who played the Modern Warfare Beta on PS4, who have linked their PSN, Xbox Live, and Battle Net accounts on the same COD Account, are reporting that their levels and progression are showing up on all platforms.

The game is confirmed to support Cross Play between all platforms, but Activision and Infinity Ward said they were just “exploring” the idea of Cross Progression saves. They have not officially confirmed it as of now.

Details on how Cross Play works in the Modern Warfare Beta is available here.

The feature image we have above showcases that a Level 20 PS4 user sees all of their levels and unlocks on their PC version, as their Activision accounts are linked. All of the create-a-class menus and more are shown just as is across the platforms.

We’ve reached to Activision for comment on this. We will update as we get more information.

Input based. Controller lobbies and M/KB lobbies. It’s opt-out so cross play is enabled by default.

You add friends/form parties cross-platform using your COD/Activision account. M/KB overrules controller so as long as there’s a single person using M/KB everyone in the party gets thrown in M/KB lobbies.

You don't need this anymore, friend!

Game owns bones IMHO. Gunplay is miles away from any CoD before, but if you play it like BlOps 4 your will die.

CoD hasn't felt this fresh in years.

I'm loving amazed that we have a real "boots on the ground" COD that isn't a marketing buzz word with cross play, cross progression, change from three lane maps, 64 player mode, no season pass and no Battle Royale or other gimmick.

Inevitably it's going to be cursed with overpowered lootbox weapons but we will have a few months safe.

still bad at video games
I tried this out and was impressed. The guns sound and look cool. I killed dudes which was an unexpected but welcome change although I kept trying to lean due to my Rainbow Six Siege muscle memory which didn't work out too well for me because it threw a grenade each time, which bounced off of the wall in front of me. Looking forward to steeping in this game all weekend like a teabag in a warm cup of water.

that dude.

I've put 2 hours in and my #1 complaint is going to be that for a 2019 FPS title the peek-advantage or "lag advantage" seems like it's the worst ever, more so when you are playing in a crossplay game. BLOPS4 was really bad with it but this might be worse. Glad it's a beta but nervous that we're a month out and other than boots on the ground it still doesn't feel great.

Mantling is really cool, but we'll see how it is once everyone knows the good spots.

Is there anyway to fix the brightness in this game that isn't the single slider? How about dimming objective points / map indicators?

I just tried to start the game to make sure everything worked before open beta and I was getting direct x crashes even before the splash screens could pop up. I downloaded the latest display driver for my 970 from Nvidia's website, and now I'm properly told in game that the beta hasn't started yet.

I was using some years old drivers, so I don't know how much this might help people who are crashing at startup.

I had no technical issues last weekend at all, but this weekend the lag has been some of the most insane poo poo I've ever seen in a game, beta or otherwise. At one point I mag-dumped and all the tracers froze just after leaving my gun for a couple of seconds and then I had a full clip again and got a kill after teleporting a good distance away.

There was an update about an hour ago that killed party matchmaking until you restart the game.

I watched one buddy’s stream early afternoon and preordered so I could play tonight.

At one point it froze up mid gun-fight and when it un-hitched I was in a completely different gunfight and had got a kill from a completely different person I was first shooting at, they should just make this a game mode.

gently caress me, man. This game looks so good, the gunfeel is so loving good, I'm so excited to see what they do with the campaign. Now that I've got a feel for it I'm actually doing somewhat decent, too! I'm really, really happy with it, especially as someone who lapsed on the MP after Modern Warfare 2 and played all the campaigns except Ghosts on Casual. I burned through the Modern Warfare Remastered campaign in the leadup to release, and fuckin' hell that game holds up.
