I wiped a team with one. It still kicks rear end.

Liking it so far, but the chopper doesn't have realistic weight to it at all. It's like a toy compared to Blackout.

They’re definitely going to tweak the loadouts. They’re too easy to come by.

Still, I love how simple and fast paced the game is.

Always buy a cluster strike as soon as you can and drop it on the loadout box when you see people running to it. I got a doublekill like that.

Having voice chat issues in Warzone. Two XB players and me on PS4. I can hear each of them, and they can individually hear me, but they can't hear eachother. Any ideas?

NAT problems can cause that, if one or both are set to moderate/strict. Nothing you can really do unless you can set both to open... or just use Discord.
I remember not being able to chat with Hogfatherjake alllll the way back in BLOPS 1 due to that.

So far my biggest issue is the intense amount of hand-holding by the other teams but I guess that means we just need to play better together. Always two people pushing into a room at once

Loadouts are insanely overpowered are 100% going to define the game until they're tuned/nerfed/removed.

Anyone can buy a supply drop at any depot, I don't see the problem. They're not hard to get, and it's not hard to get the money just from normal looting.

It's also the only way to get your three perks.

I won't stop playing because of it for now but how did they not realize how broken it would be?

The problem is you can get them in a matter of minutes and they give your whole squad all their best weapons and perks, eliminating the whole progression element.

Although I assume people who didn't own CoD will be at a disadvantage since they won't have the same configurations unlocked.

Considering that a single person can buy a supply drop for all three players, I'm pretty sure the game is designed around it in the first place.
The pre placed equipment is just to keep you alive long enough to get $4500.

Really don't enjoy the supply drop mechanic, I like the way most battle royals make you piece something together.

I wish attachment were independent and crates dropped perks and poo poo too.

I do low key really enjoy the contract system though it's really nice and you can make a pile of cash.

Couple games we killed everyone and than just did contracts as the circle closed for phat loot and rewards. No wins, but alot of top 10s and a twice to #2

People saying Warzone is bad have brain worms. This is the best BR I've played by a long shot. Best shooting, no bullshit inventory system, much better than the average royale at mitigating the dull moments of BR via stuff like contracts, the gulag, collecting money to buy boss poo poo etc, the map actually looks like a Warzone instead of a wacky theme park like Blackout. I was consistently impressed all night at how much it keeps the action going and how much time we spent fighting vs. just jogging around.

Thought the tiered loot was gonna suck but honestly it doesn't bug me. It needs more variety though. I found almost nothing but greys and golds along with a few purples. Where's everything in between? I feel like any box should drop nothing less than green, but greens seem to barely exist.

Few things I think might be an issue or would change though.

-Loadouts are going to be way OP for MW players vs. F2P players lol. Those poor fuckers are going to have to spend eons just grinding one gun out via BR while we can go into shipment and max it out in an hour if we haven't done it already. Maybe they've done something to balance the number of kills to give more weapon XP, but if they did I didn't notice. My guns weren't leveling and I got a decent amount of kills with guns I haven't used much. Maybe this is by design, but it doesn't seem fair. I also can't beleive how easy it is to get your loadouts. We got them in almost every round. Sometimes twice.

-The way kills are counted are a step back from blackout. Giving the kill to the executor is dumb and BO did it better by making down/executions separately logged.

-Armor seems too much. It makes the TTK on someone with full armor feel crazy high and I think it should max at 200 HP instead of 250. It makes extended mags feels almost necessary unless you are a headshot king, which i'm not.

-Let me pop out of the side of the car and shoot like Blackout because it feels cool and I don't want to have to shoot through the driver.

-Ping should have an option to switch to L1 or something. The D Pad is awkward.

I've only played plunder so far. And while it's a fun game mode, it could benefit from having more players. Or a smaller map.
You can go ages just looting boxes without seeing other players. The helipads are semi crowded areas, but even then you can quite easily make deposits.

Other improvements would be:
- make your squad drop with the squad leader. Right now I try to ping something and accidentally jump out of the plane.
That being said, the intro is really cool. Where they open the plane door and your squad walks out all badass. Too bad most of them just have the same skin.
- the ping system isn't organic at all. You have to fumble around to use it, it's impossible to say OK or No, it feels half assed. Just copy the Apex Legends system imo.

I find it weird that you have a designated squad leader, but you don't drop when they do in formation.

Exactly.
It's also not very obvious which dudes are your teammates while dropping. Maybe they should give them green smoke or w/e

A big part of it is I don't think people know how to play the objective yet. My first match was sitting in an area and we never broke 9th place with very little action and by the end of the night we were competing for the top three and it was constant action.

Really loving the loadout supply drop system, even as a F2P player who doesn’t have all the best poo poo unlocked. I really like the BR system of everything EXCEPT when you get totally screwed by random weapon distribution, so this system completely solves that problem.

Early game you get that classic BR scramble to get some non poo poo gear, but late game your not screwed because you never found a sniper rifle or whatever. It’s a good balance.

Gulag is also a great system. The random map contracts are fun too, I hope they add new types of contracts.

The only aspect of Warzone I question is the 150 player count. Why 150? Why not just 100 and a smaller map so the matches can start earlier?

I think their are 7 circles and you will be down to the ever shrinking 7th circle at minute 25 i think????

Add a few minutes to matchmake and the pregame, I don’t think it’s possible for a match to be longer than 30 minutes.

First circle is at 4:30 front the game start but after that they are pretty quick, like 2:30.

Yea once you level up and unlock poo poo. The interface for all that poo poo is under the Baracks.

If you do the tutorials you get a machine gun and a sniper rifle with a bunch of fancy mods you can throw in right away.
