Good hunter, free us from this waking nightmare

I fiddled with my controls and did a bit better, but it's hard to really learn and improve when the matchmaking, quitters, and spawns turbofuck you match after match.

Also dicking around with the gunsmith in private mode is fun, you can make some extremely goofy poo poo. Sleight of hand on the pump shotgun has you rolling the gun onto your shoulder and shoving in a fistful of shells like John Wick :haw:

The MP5 is filthy good on like, every TDM map except piccadilly. The thing seems super accurate and controllable for a CoD SMG

Yeah I was loving with it tonight, feels drat good on Petrograd when things start to favor you for a moment. Pretty neat that you can swap the barrel out for the MP5SD variant, too.

I’m hoping they really spend time with this one, if they could fix the balance and spawns a bit it’ll go from a good COD to maybe even a great one.

The big snipers are one hit kills, but yeah the markesmen rifles seem to be in a bad place when you need to hit people with (barring headshots) two excruciatingly slow shots in the same span of time as a fully automatic rifle dumps 20 in your chest

I've never understood how they were able to balance MW2 perfectly and then never do it again. The FN2000 was the only lovely gun, and everything else was busted as poo poo in it's own special way and it was the balance version of that simpsons scene of trying to push the germs through the door.

MW2 was fun because so much of it was unbalanced. There's too much meta bullshit in MP games nowadays so having fun can be a lot harder.

Part of the fun was that maps and playercounts were a bit more intimate so you wouldn't get killed by the 4 guys standing in the corners of the room. It was usually only one.

No love for dual 1887's though?

The maps being porous like a sponge doesn't help too. Instead of there being a few directions enemies could be coming from there's 500 and they can all see you.

Things are looking up...

I decided to play WW2 Time Travel soldier with the Nagant, a knife, molotovs and smoke.

It's not particularly good, but putting people down with a clunky bolt action rifle feels delicious especially with the ragdoll effects.

I have no mods on the gun right now but I'm hoping it eventually gets a bayonet...

------

A question: using the extra lethal equipment perk, is there any way to detonate the first C4, or are you forced to throw both before you can whip out the clacker? I've tried tapping and holding and nothing seems to work. I get killed waiting for that second bundle to toss where I could have blown a dude sky high.

On PS4 it's toss with R1, detonate by double tapping SQUARE. So you don't have to throw your second one before detonating the first one.

MW2 was fun because you could run and gun and still dominate. Dual 1887’s, dual raffika’s, care package grenade running, etc was so much fun. Just wildly sprinting around the map destroying everyone.

They begin again

Not saying there aren’t issues but man this really is the best CoD in loving forever. It’s going to take me a while to learn (thx for the tips y’all) but I’m right back to that MW1/MW2 feeling. It’s a perfect mix of those games plus something totally different. Maps are fantastic if a bit big and overwhelming. That should change as I get more familiar with them. Pulling back from the rushing and double jumping off walls and stupid halfassed scifi guns and dumb camo everywhere was the best choice. I ended up feeling so disconnected from the maps. You can get that anywhere anyway, not that I didn’t enjoy that era of CoD for what it was. This feels great though. It’s a pace that seems balanced just right for what I’m wanting in a shooter nowadays. I don’t want to sit on my rear end planning out crazy tactical moves and while high paced chaos is fun I haven’t found much of it appealing lately, at least not in the games I’ve tried.

If they go back and sort out the sound it will be even better. Sound is just as important as visuals in any game so it should be key but we really don’t need these elephant stomping screaming shootmans around every corner. It’s a bit silly. Camping, I don’t know. I’m not bothered. It seems to be about the same as when I would randomly get popped by someone wallrunning around a corner before. I would probably prefer the “okay time to figure out how to get in there and gently caress em up” approach anyway. Just me though.

This might be the first cod ever where they actually got good gun sounds. Is this the opposite timeline? Even the weapon manipulation sounds like reloading and working the bolt sound amazing.

fucking clocks
how do they work?
I wouldn't mind people holding doors so much if people actually played objective in objective modes, but people generally don't. You'll get games of domination where you'll win because the other team has been sitting in a corner around A the entire game and you'll get games where you'll lose because your team is doing it regardless of how hard you push.

Cyberattack is good tho

It feels like someone went in to the sound department with a bunch of copies of bad company 2, threw them down, and yelled “DO THAT!” before storming out of the room. It owns.

This is still blowing my mind. The game sounds fantastic, big step up from the last game. A huge reason why BF always felt so good to play was the sound design. If this turns into a bit of an audio war back and forth between franchises then yes plz let’s do this asap. IW seems to want to capture all the satisfying little details of engaging with your equipment in game. Environmental sounds seem great too.

Anyone know if they’ve talked about their sound improvements anywhere?

Only on some maps. I main a silenced MP5 in most competitive games and people are usually pretty shocked at how many battles that gun can win, even from range. Put the mini reflex, rubberized grip, and the monolithic suppressor on that thing and just go hog wild

Did the mp5 get nerfed earlier this week?

I feel like i was getting some crazy good kills when i first started using it, and now that its leveled up and has attachments, I'm finding I'm having to put an OBSCENE amount of bullets into some targets to get kills

I do think increasing the amount of non-lethals you spawn with could maybe gently caress with close quarter campers a bit. All of them could be used to ferret out the fuckers when used efficiently.

Also, MW2 chat: Once on Favela I was stuck with a full stack of cool clan tag guys on one side and a rapidly diminishing team on my side. Obviously that didn't go so well, until it was just me left, and I switched to my

Stuns or flashbangs can gently caress them up pretty good.
