After the beta I started playing the Infinite Warfare campaign, which is still fantastic, and loving hell did I miss the gunfeel from this new MW so bad. All the guns just feel so loving right.

reddit is a circlejerk hivemind and should never be substituted for proper forums or feedback lmao

/r/Eve taught me that as that game has circled the drain.

Yeah, actually. You can't do bad for that price. It's a really cool campaign with a great aesthetic and it's basically Star Citizen if it was an actual game.

Is everyone just playing Modern Warfare Remastered MP in the leadup to release?

quote:

In a press release highlighting the largest Call of Duty beta in history for Modern Warfare, the company restated that some modes in MP in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will still support high player counts.

The company showcased the brand new Ground War mode during the beta with up to 64 players on a map called Karst River Quarry.

Back in August during the game’s MP reveal, Activision said Ground War would support up to 100 players in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – the largest number of players in an MP mode for Call of Duty.

In today’s press release, the company re-stated that certain MP experiences will feature up to 100 players in Modern Warfare at launch on October 25.

The Beta showcased the unprecedented depth across Modern Warfare multiplayer, ranging from the close-quarter frenetic 2v2 Gunfight play, up to and including the world reveal of the epic large-scale Ground War mode supporting up to 64 players. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer is expected to support up to 100 players in select multiplayer experiences upon launch on October 25. Winner of the “Best Online Multiplayer” by Game Critics Best of E3 2019, Modern Warfare’s ultimate multiplayer playground delivers an action-packed online experience with best-in-class down the barrel gameplay, along with unprecedented depth and variety.

There could be additional Ground War maps that support the higher player count modes in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Are they going after the ground Battlefield gave up with this new mode? How did the larger map/player count actually feel for a COD game? (I have largely been not paying attention to this one, but a buddy of mine just brought it to my attention the other day)

If they can keep cod fans happy and steal some bf players, why not?

DICE dropped the ball with BF5 so I'm not surprised Activision saw an opportunity and took advantage of it.

Yes. and terrible. Don't get me wrong it seemed like plenty of people enjoyed it, but to me it just felt like a really shallow, lame BF rip without most of the stuff that makes BF cool. It felt like it had never been playtested. With a bunch of tweaking maybe it could still have legs because COD has more enjoyable shooting than BF imo, but all of my interest lies in the other modes after playing it and I'd rather play battlefield for large scale games. Even the bad ones.

Seriously? Jesus I thought it was a week. I'm getting it on PS4 anyways, but wow thats brutal. They might as well not release it at all because by that time a new one will be coming.

Even as a PS4 player I don't feel like that's very heartening that the mode will actually be any good.

Ok so now they're saying Spec Ops is not PS4 exclusive, just the "Survival" mode within Spec Ops, which is "1% of the whole game." So what is the rest of Spec Ops?

https://charlieintel.com/iw-dev-survival-mode-is-just-a-sliver-of-spec-ops-says-decision-was-made-above-our-pay-grades/56897/

The only other "exclusive" are an AR and a handgun you get for buying digitally on any platform. Looks like just an early unlock

You can tell it's an Activision story because they made Mars the badguy, which goes against all science fiction logic (where humans are the Martians).

Hmm.. but what is the over under on them actually doing some tweaks, which BFV has been lacking?

Either way, I will probably get roped in through the friendgroupthink. It's good to hear the shooting is good. I can look past a lot if the gunplay scratches that itch right.

It felt busy as gently caress. The map we got to play was pretty big, but not big enough for the player count. You couldn't turn a corner without running into people.

Yup. And the absolutely shitload of snipers will funnel you towards the center of the map, where everyone else is. One option is to grab a sniper rifle, but then you're becoming part of the problem.

it's supposed to be just one small part of the Spec Ops mode which everyone else still gets, but having to explain that only helps to show how dumb and pointless of a move it is.

And if it's like the Spec Ops in MW2 I couldn't see myself playing it more than once. Did people play it a lot in MW2?

Just read some leaked stuff from TheGamingRevoYT on twitter. Sounds like Spec Ops is just like the one in MW2 but it takes place on huge maps. Survival is the endless waves like MW2, the other half are missions. So Survival is like half the mode. And you can level up guns and get camos in it, which apparently transfer to multiplayer.

So it's still not a huge part of the game and probably won't make PS4s fly off the shelves. But being half of the mode and letting you level guns outside PVP isn't totally insignificant.
