Yeah I was overstating or I guess, shouldn't have used the word disaster. I'm sure it'll be fine. Its just really a shame because of all years, it feels like despite all our bitching Modern Warfare was a pretty solid product. And with that in mind its too bad that the player base is going to be splintered because Activision needs their yearly injection of Call of Duty money. This would have been a perfect year for them to punt Black Ops down the road one year so it'd be a fully 'next-gen' game and then you could keep building on Warzone and what not. Now I totally understand why this would never ever happen. Its the same idea that the sports franchise games should do an every other year approach and treat the off year as just a roster update dlc for like a quarter of the price. It just won't happen due to the economics. To clarify, I just mean I wonder what trickle down from Cold War we'll see into Warzone. And to see what type of future support we're going to see in Modern Warfare's base multiplayer. And as far as SBMM goes, I think its fine. There is not a perfect system. I'm more than happy with how its gone nearly a year in. I lose some. I win some. Laughs are had.

Once it's fixed, I gotta say, I really, really like the AS VAL as an AR in general. It's just got a nice feel to it, it's lightning quick ADS and a good time to down someone.

Fart Car '97 posted:They both seem excellent now that they're fixed. The ASVAL slams up close but has ammo and range issues. The SPR is super flexible but not really better than the HDR. ADS times and cycle times do seem to make the K98 kind of pointless? Edit: Sorry for the double-post. I'm brain-afk.

Waroduce posted:The shotgun is the cold war beta is pretty good I went something like 18/7 using one of the default classes that has that shotgun on Cartel. That gun was terrible during the alpha. I also see they added a type of sniper glint and more ADS. You can still win gun battles by quick scooping, but it's no longer "free".

Yeah, and in the case of stims, that means surviving in the gas indefinitely. throw a frag, pick it up and hold until it explodes, get rezzed via self-revive or teammate, bam you've got infinite tacs

Whoops, I did not anticipate enjoying the Cold War beta but here we are. I did not like Modern Warfare multiplayer at all, I got to level 50 and then gave up in frustration, but this feels like a much more balanced experience.

I enjoy both. They are different games. I think MW2019 brought back the joy of shooters for me. Cold War feels like a throwback shooter. It's fun. I like Combined Arms: Assault.

What’s the drama with SBMM? Is it just that people want to ruthlessly pubstomp and get sad when they get matched against other sweeties who have also been playing COD for the last 15 years? I see some crying on reddit about it, and it’s not clear if it’s just the general concept of balanced teams, or some atrociously bad implementation that makes it not fun.

I gave up on multiplayer because it would wildly swing from matching me up against quickscopers who would stomp the poo poo out of me for multiple matches to pity rounds of people I was convinced were Quake 1 bots. I would do very well against the latter and swing right back to the former. It never felt balanced, just lopsided in different ways.

SBMM's only actual negative is that it tends to suck for you if you aren't playing at the level of the rest of your party. a friend of mine that just got into gaming because of covid plays with us most of the time but he cant get more than a few kills each game. when he plays on his own he is getting kill streaks all over and topping the board every game. so in that sense its kinda dumb because it makes him not want to play the game with us, and he bought it to play it with us.

In the case of my friends and I: We'll have a decent round, and the next five rounds at least are us getting absolutely blown the gently caress out until Number Decides Mercy, and we get a decent one again. Not a blowout, but it feels even. But oops we did Good, enjoy another five rounds of accomplishing gently caress all.

Capn Beeb posted:In the case of my friends and I: So bad implementation with too small sample size leading to wild swings? Why don’t they just do it like Mobas or other shooters where you have a general ELO or MMR or whatever that influences who you get matched with? Is it really that pronounced or is it just the snowball-y nature of cod making it feel that way? Like in general I think SBMM is good for games, even if it means “oh no I can’t go 30-1 literally every game and need to face the realization that I am not actually a video game god” but that’s a bummer that activision is too dumb to implement a 15 year old feature in tyool2020.

I would do very well against the latter and swing right back to the former. This is my biggest problem with how it's implemented. Sometimes you just want to play a mindless game or try a different weapon but you get stuck with a bunch of Obsidian slidy mp5s. The worst thing you can do in MW is have a good round.

Have a mindless round and win*, which is the bullshit modifier people don't want to admit they want. You can have a mindless round regardless if you stop caring about winning, but people want to have their cake and eat it, too. A 'casual round' where you do well loving around still is a round where you're beating someone who is actually trying to win but they just can't. There's no magic bullet for this. Folks point to a casual play list as the answer in games like R6 and Apex. Guess what? Both of the casual modes in those games have hidden SBMM. The main difference is there's no displayed rank & no penalty for leaving. Casual in both of those can be just as sweaty as ranked. I think MWs SBMM is heavy handed in it's implementation, but the game is absolutely better for it's existence. The alternative is people on the lower end of the skill bracket exist in a land where they just get poo poo on constantly because there's always 1-2 people in the game that are just way better then them, instead of most of the other team being roughly equally skilled.

This is the truth. One of the things that makes CoD great is that it has few artificial limiters to skill and a relatively short ttk; if you are fast enough to aim and click, you can kill as many people as you want; you aren't held back by low damage or low rof weapons. That's not compatible with skilled players and brand new ones playing in the same pool willy nilly. In the olden days of circa 2002-2003 I was big into a certain best FPS ever half-life mod which was similar in that if you were good you could delete people effortlessly and if you weren't, you were a mook. A good player joined a server, bodied everyone, and they all left for another server. I was one of those guys. It got to a point where I unconsciously stopped thinking of it as playing on a server and thought of it as clearing out a server, because it was that inevitable. (And I was a child) While that was lots of fun for me and guys like me, it was very detrimental to building a healthy player population for the game because it was a huge turn off to new people at the beginning of a steep learning curve I'm not good at CoD by any means with my 1.31 overall KD, but you can't match me against new players just like you can't match me against pros
