UT and UT2004 ruled, playing Onslaught is still one of my favorite online experiences.

Fart Car '97 posted:I think it's almost certain Warzone will continue on as its own branch and will draw seasonal content and maps based on whatever the current IW title is. They've clearly laid the groundwork for that being the case with this title. The campaign, co-op, multiplayer & warzone elements of "Modern Warfare" are already by and large compartmentalized. Fortnite has proven you can just re-vamp the ingame content and call it "Chapter 2" so they don't even need to make the case for it being a new business model. The real question is whether or not Blackout will continue as a pseudo-cod or if they'll just really lean into the high-action wacky BR style and let Modern Warfare be the more tacticool BR. Blackout is dead and running on maintenance for those that still playing. It's going to be a miracle if Treyarch manages to launch a complete game with less than 2 years of crunch time. They're not making the same mistake they did in BLOPS4 of trying to mantain and support different platforms. Thankfully, zombies is 100% completed from a story point so they can safely skip it this year. They're going to focus on MP and if they have more time a campaign.

veni veni veni posted:I need to stop playing Warzone late at night. If I play in the evening I generally do really well, but once 11 pm rolls around it turns into the sweatiest fuckfest and turns me into a rager. Like, it literally gets 5 times harder to do well once all of the COD dads go to bed. I think I'm gonna give myself a WZ curfew I should not be playing games at 1 am anyways lol. As a COD dad the only time i get to play is after 11 once everyone else in my house is asleep. Maybe this is why I do terribly at night. That or the beer and sleep deprivation, hard to say.

Is there a goon regiment and is it okay to be a lovely casual f2p warzone cod dad that ruins every plunder match by constantly dying and losing all of the money?

You should consider playing plunder the proper way, constantly diving on the top earners trying to murder them and not worrying about collecting loot.

You can keep the pace of WZ fast and fun if you just grab every objective that comes your way. Also playing with a group is basically essential. I won't even play unless we have 3 or more so we don't have to have a pubbie or be outnumbered.

I mean just play the regular game then??? Why people want to be in gunfights and not have a game they can spend 45 minutes running around collecting loot is beyond me.

I prefer doing contracts but it's extremely rare I find squadmates who feel the same way, seems 95% of players prefer looting which I think is mostly boring and lame.

i think there should be a permanent shipment only ladder playlist. those that accrue tenure/skill(lol)/idk within the playlist advance through its ranks. each rank increases the player count. there is no limit to the ranks.

Why people want to spend 45 minutes running around collecting loot and not getting in gunfights is beyond me. Regular MP suffers from insanely short TTK, mostly bad maps, and somewhat unfun game modes. Also, WZ can be a nice change of pace from Domination and Hardpoint.

Pretty sure I read that Warzone will be ported to Series X & PS5 and that they plan to keep updating it with stuff from the new call of duty games. Also many thanks to the fellow who posted the Uzi hipfire build, that thing loving rips. I already loved the Uzi and this just makes it even more fun.

Ran into a bug. Party kept leaving me behind somehow? Like the match would start for 2/3 of the party, but then I'm still on the "host is looking for a match" screen. But like the host is in a game already.

Cross play is really great, I have two groups of friends and they are both staunchly xbox and PS4. They know each other for the most part but not enough that you'd get anyone to ditch their existing library of games/cheevos to switch platforms to increase our player base. Hopefully more games do it in the future, particularly battlefield 80000 whenever that comes out (hopefully its just like BF4 but with better visuals). Its a bit janky at times due to chat not playing nice when you first add/play with someone but once you get past that its usually just the PC players who drop out every other game. The amount of people that quit a lobby pre-game when they see a team full of the same clan tag is pretty funny. Also, if you are having trouble seeing your stats track for attachment unlocks, I find quitting the game to dashboard (on xbox highlight the game tile then press start>quit) and restarting the game rather than resuming from your last session makes tracking work correctly. It also makes the live online friends list update in almost real time like it should, instead of having your last sessions players showing as online when they arent. Whoever suggested that the Patches are working on a tick/tock build is probably right. the last patch and the one before that, this was not an issue. it only came back after the most recent update.

Finally picked this up on PS4 so hopefully I'll get to play with goons sometime soon. Also jesus christ I have never seen a game as utterly disrespectful of storage space as this one. The base game is like 140 gigs and then I need to download another 30 gigs of update packs to play SP and MP and then like 3 more packs of god knows of many gigs to play whatever the Special Ops mode is. And then you need to keep all that space open every time there's a minor update? I'm genuinely curious how they managed to do this, other than just not bothering to optimize whatsoever. Time to finally bite the bullet and buy an external drive I guess since otherwise my PS4 will only be able to have 2 games installed on it at any given time.

There has to be massive duplication of assets for the HDD's head to land on randomly, because the game doesn't take as long to load as the ridiculous size would lead you to believe.

So are the full auto pistols the best cqb weapons? Been running the MP5, but feel like I get really outclassed by those. Any particular pistol that's best?

Unlocked the crossbow yesterday playing hardcore. Stayed in hardcore, and it is loving amazing. Once I got the explosive bolts it is some of the most fun I have had in forever. Everyone I just quick draw on is pissed. On close maps I run a pistol as my main and then use the bow like a rpg. Even on big maps you can win a one on one by taking pop shots that YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HIT! And people die from the explosions. I’m having so much fun that I have now unlocked all the attachments for like 3 pistols. I’ll have the snake shots right when they are dead.

The purple/gold pickups for both the AUG and RAM 7 might be the most worthless configurations you could possibly make for both guns that I’m pretty sure whatever intern designed them has never actually played the game.

I took out the full hipfire idiocy 9mm M4 w. Shortest barrel/Merc/no-stock/5mw and the few people I was able to bait near me got shredded and it's hilarious. It still uses AR ammo though so it's kinda no-go. The new info about short barrels and no-stock improving hipfire has opened up some great gimmicks

Hey guys, quick question, does going through the weapon master challenges worth the legendary weapon you unlock at the end? I'm currently working towards obtaining the 'Steel Curtain' AK challenge, but the attachments on it doesnt seem to be all that different from the attachments I already have for my AK, is it just an aesthetic thing or are these fancy unlockable weapons better at a base level? Also I fixed my game issues, turns out the player profile folder was corrupted somehow so all I had to do was delete it and the game is now working 100% again, thank goodness I didnt need to re-install it.

The blueprints from completing challenges only use the exact same attachments you unlock by playing with the gun anyway, you just get to access them before their normal unlock level. Aesthetically they might be slightly different. If you’re an extreme noob with a gun having some blueprints with attachments that don’t suck can make levelling it slightly easier but it’s not a huge deal. Mainly I just complete challenges out of a desire to see numbers go up.

DaddyBigBucks posted:UT and UT2004 ruled, playing Onslaught is still one of my favorite online experiences. Ah man, just seeing UT 2004 Onslaught being mentioned brought on a whole heap of memories. Those where the days, free map packs, community map packs, mods, mutators... The Assault gamemode deserves a mention; especially the map where you either attack or defend a Convoy of huge armoured vehicles as they barrel down the desert at top speed. I feel arena shooters might get a foothold in todays saturated market by really pushing the envelope like UT2004 did.

i think as games become easier to develop we'll see more things ride the retro wave that resemble arena shooters sadly game devs seemed to realize its a better business model to lock everything down. cant even make a custom server or playlist anymore. i dont crave or need the economics of the mod scene anymore, but i miss the huge range of people at least TRYING to make something new E: that being said, i wish my adult wallet had been lucky enough to buy half life and then ride that wave for 5 years, instead of my parents being the ones that lucked out and only had to drop $60 on one game lol Worf fucked around with this message at 11:56 on May 16, 2020 |

Any particular pistol that's best? akimbo burst renettis with 27 round mags are like a shotgun that never has to stop firing. you can click each gun nine times before you have to reload and even in warzone its not going to take more than two clicks per gun to kill somebody in shotgun range

the best part of akimbo renettis is that even at long range you can poo poo out 54 bullets so fast that you can pistol snipe somebody or at least kill steal somebody
