some people in a buggy tried to roadkill me, missed, I dropped a prox mine, went prone on it, they ran me over and all 3 died

I promptly fought my way out of the gulag and got my equipment back :smug:

Did they ever make the Spec Ops mode "good"?

Lol no. It's a series of running from one point to another then standing there for a few minutes while shooting the never-ending hordes of bots that run straight at you with the occasional bullet sponge thrown in the mix.

I didn’t even realize at the time you got a collat to finish it. I thought the third guy was stuck in the building and died.

I think you automatically get a collat if you down one team member and then kill the last one. Because your last bullet technically kills both enemies at once.

Great, the bonus week is almost over and the crash bug is back. Also needs to install shaders literally every time I play.

This is one of most janky games I've ever played... but it's the biggest franchise in the entire industry. :psyduck:

I keep having progress bit count. I’ve been on 4/5 2 Longshot kills with the uzi for 2 days now.

Also APCs don’t spawn now, so i guess that mission is on a back burner.

Can someone give me a good Warzone loadout? I just have a ton of fun load outs I use in the regular MP, but I guess they're not optimal for Warzone.
Like, overkill doesn't matter. Does tracker work? The other perks? What about equipment?

IMO the best loadouts include:

PKM with 200rd belt, Merc Thermal, long barrel, mono suppressor, and whatever foregrip you want for recoil. Overkill with the AUG with 556 conversion. Cold blooded (see thermal) and your choice of tracker or tune up. Whatever lethal you want and heartbeat sensor.

Alternatively: AX/50 or HDR with the big boy thermal, overkill with your choice of AR or shotgun (R9-0) and the same perks.

Had good games yesterday dropping in REALLY far from everyone and just looting enough to get a loadout drop then hopping in a vehicle and skirting the edge of the map picking off teams as they are forced to move in.

Also just found out that doing intel missions let you know where the next circle is going to be. Also also found out that popping 3 UAVs at once gives you AUAV and oner person can buy 3 UAVS and pop them all.

So it seems like there is a general CTD bug on PC version and its not just me? Got the game to play with my roommate (on PS4) and the game crashes enough to be not worth playing - runs fine until it hangs and crashes with no error. Good framerate until the crash, no signs of a problem until it just shuts.

Game and drivers (video and general system) are up to date, scanned game files for errors, etc.

i5-4570K, Nvidia GTX 960, 8gigs ram, so I should be ok to play on medium-low settings?


Do I just have to wait until its fixed?

Your chosen loadouts will kinda suck for a while because you don't have meatgrinder multiplayer to quickly build up weapon XP. You can level guns at a decent rate in Plunder though. Other than that it should be the same experience.

I know the answer already, but what's the chance they get servers that are better than 12/tick for MP? It's a little annoying going multiple games against one hit deaths and half my hits not counting.

It's really dumb but I've had success renaming the modernwarefare.exe to modernwarefare1.exe AFTER you launch (and then back once I close it). That stopped my crashing, but your mileage may vary.

Why are people taking the converted AUG for into Warzone? It is objectively one of the worst ARs, from almost every standpoint. There is basically no reason to take it over something like the M4 or Grau. The 9mm AUG is a great SMG, but the 5.56 AUG is a trash AR.

Try it for yourself, it melts people. Highest DPS SMG currently in Warzone. It is not an AR.

:same:

This week's patch didn't even address it. If anything it made it worse. It was stable for a few days and now it's back to crashing.

Again, this is the biggest franchise in the business and it's just randomly unplayable no matter what you do or what hardware you have. Indie devs in their bedrooms manage to get at least basic stability right. It's baffling.

try out the 5.56 for yourself, it shreds in Warzone. I started using it after I was killed by it a few times

Yeah there's a thread on reddit with 20K upvotes about CTD

https://www.reddit.com/r/modernwarfare/comments/dooal3/pc_crashing_devs/

I thought it was my old card and cpu (970 and i5 4690K) overheating but the temps never exceeded their thresholds.

Turning down unlimited frame rate dropped the load by around 30% but not sure if that'll help you

Jack Frags recommended it in a video.


PC player here just started F2P in WarZone. Is there anyway to turn down the warning sound of the gas moving in? Is it the sound effects slider? Am I going to miss something important if I turn that down? Also, I think I sprint too much, because sprint cancels reloads for me all the time. Do I just have to condition myself not to sprint or do I have another option?

With whatever small update they did that added solos my brother and I have been getting 1 second stutters on PC and tons of lag. I can understand the lag if the servers are overloaded, but what's with the stutters? As far as I can tell it didn't actually download anything so I cant see why it's happening now.

Yeah I thought it was my computer but temps are fine and there's no sign it's struggling until it quits which is frustrating. No errors or problems after the crash either.

I would add the FAL. It won't be for everyone, but it's worth trying a few times IMO. DPS is high, ROF is good and it stays accurate at pretty long ranges. With 30rd mag you can really spam it too if need be. The only caveat is you really need to have it decently leveled to be worth using in BR. I suck with snipers so it fits me well, if you can snipe like a boss than the HDR or AX-50 is definitely the better choice. You definitely want a close range secondary with a FAL, but it's so easy to find MP7s that I don't use it with overkill.

I've seen people say that and I'm only ever in the ffa for like 30s, 45 tops. Good for a kill or two but would take forever to level anything.

For many new players a kill or two is more then they would get in the actual round.

Ask me about my tattoos.
Not to mention that some of these weapons (e.g. AUG) are loving AWFUL trying to level. I ran around solo for a couple games of plunder, got the drop on a bunch of people, and then they just turned around and killed me because I'm here poking them with 9mm bullets.

Just play a couple games of plunder and focus on doing the missions on the north side of the map. Very few people are deathmatching up there and you can easily get 1st this way. Boring I know... but you get to level up bad guns easily.

Reboot the client and now I'm in line for 8 minutes while friends are in 24 minute lines, even though we all logged in at the same time.
