Speaking of pubbies getting mad at tracer rounds, what are some good emblems / calling cards for harvesting rage mics? So far I've been using the Chinese flag and it's pretty good for getting people to start ranting about commies when they die but I feel there are more fruitful options out there.

This is pretty much what drives me to play the game, all the little sounds

I’m not even joking they are addictive as hell

I cannot for the life of me find the Interview, but the IW team studied casino/slot machine sound design to help design the hitmarker sound & general sound loop. When designing COD 2 they tried to make it sound like bullets hitting people but they found that you couldn't differentiate it among the other sounds going on. Part of slot sound design is creating sounds that are pleasing and memorable that can also cut through heavy background noise. This eventually heavily influenced the overall gameplay loop of the series which draws inspiration from casino games. The fwip sound is a lot like the
ticks of a slot rollers spinning. The hit marker sound isn't exactly a reward, but like the 'ticks' of the slot rollers, it primes your brain for a potential reward (a kill) which gives the you a bigger visual/audio reward. Eventually the ticks themselves are almost more addictive than the actual reaward.

So yeah the sounds are literally addictive by design.

Yup it makes sense there is a hell of a lot of effort going in to all the sound effects and the level up sounds etc, to release that rush of dopamine. Most games have amazing headshot noises these days too.

I do love the sounds, but I feel like part of the reason I love realism is because there's less stuff popping on my screen all the time. I wish I could turn off level updates and whatnot but keep the sonic sugar.

the sound effects and the positioning are pretty nice...its just a same there's constant loving stings and accents blaring out all the time. It's annoying enough when you're just dossing about but when you're actually trying to stalk someone it's infuriating.

One match we had shotguns and the last guy holed up in a corner with like 6 deployable covers surrounding him. He got 28 kills before the swarm took him down, the final kill replay was like the fall of caesar.

Prioritizing finishing a downed enemy over turning your attention to his teammates who are still up and fighting back. Good players have the situational awareness to know when to spend a few seconds finishing someone or when to switch to trying to just down the other player's teammates. Getting killed or contributing to getting your squad wiped because you were tunnel visioned on thirsting someone is a hallmark of a new BR player

Thirsting a downed player in a fight you know you're going to lose is a 'spite kill'

When I'm playing against a really good survivor I just cheer them on because it's just visually fantastic.

I don't care about the guitar riffs, it's all the sounds like when there's a cash drop, or you're in the top 10, or a deposit heli coming in etc...they're all really long too!

E: Also LOL at their "realistic shooter" with GI joe guy operators with skull masks and bear headdresses and poo poo hanging dangly keychain charms from their hot pink anime waifu guns and doing elaborate Mortal Kombat fatalities when they get the drop on each other.

To me MW is like the perfect balance of "realistic" and cheesy GI Joe goofiness. Black Ops 4 went way too far with it and started to look like fortnite at the end with people playing as knights and 50s spaceman gorillas and everything was so colorful I forgot it was supposed to be a war game in any capacity. MW2019 is dumb but hasn't gone full off into "this is Call of Duty?" territory. Super violent GI Joe is basically what I'm looking for anyways.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
I started playing this game finally and as someone who absolutely hated PUBG (my friends loved it and put thousands and thousands of hours into it before I guess they ruined the game and put bots and poo poo in it), I'm loving what I've played of it so far. I love how forgiving it is with buying people back and the gulag system, I feel like I'm actually able to have a chance of winning fights against other players, the vehicles feel good to drive, the game looks nice, and I enjoy the loadout system. There's still a bit of that BR problem where you'll sometimes just be instantly killed by an enemy you can't see and wouldn't have ever been able to see, but it feels like it happens way less often and this game. Also the way armor works feels really good and feels like I have a much better shot at not dying instantly. This just all around feels like a much more polished and casual friendly game than the other BRs I've played (of which I have played PUBG and Apex). Just overall I feel like I can actually have a chance against other players and it's not just all players being a thousand times better at shooting me. I've even won a few gulags! Also things like the drones are very run, and I expereinced a bunker for the first time in my last game. Also it was fun using the drone to see a player who found the bunker too while we were inside it and hunkering down in it, and he tried to drive his car directly into the the entrance. He did hit two of my squad mates downing them, but the other one in there set up a turret so he didn't make it. ALSO I really like that the rocket launcher is like... a viable thing to use in this game.

I'm not great at shooting. I need a more casual experience, which is why I tend to gravitate to something like Overwatch and less to games where other players can just beat me in a firefight 10 out of 10 times. And so this game so far has been great in that regard

Also someone squished me with a helicopter earlier (not crashing it into me after jumping for it, but straight up just like landing on me) and I died laughing

The sound effects aren't quite what I'd like them to be and no I don't mean positioning and everyone not sounding like elephants if within 100'.

In fact I'd say I dislike them in general, particularly hit sounds

The footsteps are hilariously loud, to the point that it's literally impossible to sneak up on someone without dead silence active. You can hear footsteps behind you over the sound of your own gun going off.

Also I appreciate that they let you turn the hitmarker sound to the classic MW one.

Do the seasonal missions stick around like the challenges / trials do or do they end when the season does?

edit: Also is there any place to see all the different commendations you've earned or are those just end of round flash and not like BF-style ribbons / medals?

There's some weird view angle stuff around corners and also peakers advantage - likely just view angle if you say it's like 2 seconds.
