when getting those random free packs in the store it’s often giving me stuff from previous seasons like banners and things. Is this just random to dole out stuff I just didn’t earn at the time?

🤷🏽‍♂️ I’ll take easy plunder wins while everyone fucks around any day. I also enjoy the option to gently caress around and play koth or death match. I like that since the team numbers has essentially doubled its a lot harder to win since most bank drops are being used.

I like the missions but several of them have steps that require me to play ground war and lol gently caress that.

The worst missions are where you have to plant the bomb in cyber attack or search. Nobody in those playlists plays the objective and trying to actually be the person that does is totally counter productive with those modes meta

Are there any strategies for completing all the battle pass levels? I got up to 70 last season. I don’t have that much time to play, and just play for fun (obj play styles) so don’t want to spend my time grinding. But I’m just wondering if there is something else I should be doing or something I’m missing.

All of the purple/gold SMGs are so loving overscoped in Warzone they feel less useful than the gray versions. I don't need a 3.5x on an MP7, game.

They have a reduced zoom, click L3 on PS to toggle the zoom.

It's mostly time based, with XP earned contributing to reduce the time. Someone did the math and it's about 35-40min average per level. So if there are easy daily/weekly challenges or officer ribbon challenges, those will help. But it might only lower it to 30min for a tier.

The MP5s common to WZ right now with the NV scope do not, but there are some MP7s with flip scopes that you can switch to red dot.

In BLOPS1 I used the ak74u with rapid fire and scavenger because I really just like to run around like a maniac. What's the equivalent to that in this game? Right now I'm using the p90.

What is it that makes Ground War just feel so bad? I just can’t put my finger on it, but its probably because the ttk is so low (normal) that you are dead 24/7?

The idea of Cod gunplay plus Battlefield sounds like a no brained, but it sucks. I might see if the PS4 servers for battlefield 4 are still humming along

In pure TTK Battlefield averaged like 50-100ms longer IIRC*, but also one big difference is that in CoD guns are 100% accurate when aiming down sights (except for shotguns obviously), while in Battlefield not only did you have a random base spread, but in the pre-BF5 games the spread would actually get larger the longer you fired, forcing you to fire in bursts and essentially artificially increasing the TTK. In CoD all you have to do is be able to control the recoil and you can easily laser someone on the other side of the map full auto, which is why it's so easy to just get wiped in Ground War.

*I believe the damage may have dropped off faster too, but it's been a long while since I checked Battlefield stats

No I just mean the party leader pulling out before you can look at the scoreboard, then when you try to look at it in the lobby it's broken 75% of the time. Even when I'm party leader I implusivley do it a lot because the stats take so long to pop up.

And sniper rifle require a headshot to kill in one bullet, something that's pretty hard to achieve with the increased bullet drop and slower bullet speed.
In Groundwar you have alf the team running railgun sniper rifle of death.

Have been spending the weekend maxing out most of my weapons with the double-xp. Ended up running up disgusting kill streaks with several of them.

I'm really enjoying the M13 & MP7 at the moment.

I know I always bitch about the gulag because I hate it more than anything on earth, but I just had 2 in a row where I was about to win handsomely, lagged out and couldn't fire for more than a second in the middle of a gunfight. I have never had this problem with multi and Warzone is laggy as gently caress sometimes, but it often doesn't matter as much because I'm usually running through a forest or something. But the gameplay in the gulag just feels loving awful and probably 1/3rd of the time I die in there I feel like I'm just being totally hosed over by lag. If their stupid mini game didn't count directly towards warzone K/D it would probably piss me off less. I would happily give up that extra kill for winning to not have to add another death on the pile when the game is being poo poo.

Snipers in this game actually do drop off to require a headshot to 1-shot but it's like at 100m+ so yeah a lot of the shots are going to be easy body kills (though ironically GW is probably the only time you'll actually run into a situation in regular MP where the sniper's don't body someone instantly).

Right but the MP7s have a non-thermal variable zoom optic, the orange one might be variable and thermal but I forget. Hip fire the MP5s.

I can't hear any loving footsteps apart from my own in killcams. Surely not every single guy I play against can keep Dead Silence up permanently?

At first I was like, right maybe my audio settings suck but then I watch a killcam and of course the guy knew I was coming when footsteps are that loud but I don't hear any enemy footsteps the entire match so ???

I just barely won a hardcore hardpoint game that we started off dominating after me and my party realized everybody else on the team was sitting back and sniping but not actually shooting their loving guns while the other team just walked up to the point they were looking at and halfassedly wasted them after they also realized they weren't going to shoot so the two of us kept running in circles to A and C to win it. They weren't afk or anything, they kept moving back into position to get owned again, over and over, just never firing or doing anything at all.

We lost one after when we realized the game forced us into a 2v6, for some reason.

Later on in yet another hardpoint game both teams kept spawning on opposite ends of a single small hallway, hundreds of deaths later someone finally, mercifully, finished us off before we could shoot everyone dead again so we could all get on with our lives

I refuse to play any objective modes outside of domination unless I’m playing with a group of friends with a minimum of 4 other people. Otherwise it’s just lovely chaos getting spawn trapped.

When that goes on I just sit in the control point with a riot shield. Once I died like forty times but I got two minutes in there, two seconds a life at a time, to win it.

Yeah whenever this happens in hardcore I just switch to pistol and never stop running. It can often turn the tide of the match.
