The Das Haus playlist is the exact sort of chaos I wanted, but after each match it will throw you into a completely random other playlist that you don't necessarily want to be in. I hope that gets fixed, but just leaving the lobby and joining Das Haus again fixes the problem in the mean time that will likely go ignored by Activision.

 lol, really impressive kill/death ratios are common in CoD, there are some good players in this game, but Cojo's performance in Blitz Das Haus is pretty blatant what is going on.

Is there some known and weird server lag in this game? The number of times I've been killed by something that made absolutely no sense on my screen, but then made perfect sense in the kill cam is ridiculously high.

I was trying to account for that, but this player for some reason only used his killstreaks once. I kept waiting for artillery to happen for the whole match and it never came. It was one of the weirder matches that I honestly cant explain. threeagainstfour posted:Is there some known and weird server lag in this game?

LGD posted:and of course the possibility remains that those guns will remain superior in practice due to handling, or a particular combination - i.e. the StG gets the Vital proficiency (gives headshot damage to an area of the upper torso, usually only available on marksment/sniper rifles though the itra burst and type 100 also have it), and while (due to how the numbers work out) that mostly just makes 8mm Kurz competitive with Russian Short when aiming center-mass, it might be busted when used in combination with the Krausnick 620MM precision barrel to juice the vital damage (+ probably Russian short to keep damage from non-vital hits high/retain 4 shot non-vital kill potential), though my real world results were mixed (basically trading the consistent low ttk of Russian Short alone for a more inconsistent experience where you sometimes insta-burst people and sometimes feel like you're running very slightly worse base StG ammo), which might be more attributable to how tired I was by the time I got everything unlocked than the combination itself (and regardless that particular combo is not why you see StG's so prominently) ah, that's why I was getting funky results (and many of you are insta dying to the StG): a. the Krausnick 620MM barrel apparently doesn't stack with the Vital proficiency (likely a good thing) b. more importantly, Vital is apparently bugged in combination with Russian Short - by the numbers/description it shouldn't do anything to affect ttk, but for some reason it's apparently making upper torso shots (but not headshots) do like 78 damage, so it can 2 hit you e: I said come in! posted:I was trying to account for that, but this player for some reason only used his killstreaks once.

Also, sometimes they have hidden bonuses (aka are bugged) and do more damage than the base gun itself should otherwise do. At least that happened a few times on the 2 previous games.

Surprisingly having fun with this, I got burned out bad on CoD a few games ago but a bunch of my friends decided to get this one and so here I am. Didn't play the beta so I can't compare, but I do like how smooth and arcade-y this feels. The maps are actually not bad either! They remembered to include some verticality this time, which makes a huge difference. I feel like there's lots of opportunities to flank / break sightlines so the camping snipers aren't as annoying as they usually are, and this is probably the best movement has felt in a CoD that didn't include jetpacks. Patrol is great and I hope it becomes a staple mode, probably the most interesting objective mode they've done in a long time. Downsides so far: - Lots of weird lag / packet loss. Dunno what's going on with that but those two notifications are basically up on my screen 100% of the time, and there's lots of other weird buggy stuff like the after-match report claiming I unlocked something only to go into my armory and realize I'm still a level away from it, or randomly treating me like I'm Rank 1 and locking me out of customizing anything until I complete a match. - Vital really needs to be removed from everything except Marksmen / Sniper Rifles. The STG and MP40 are already good and fun but giving them vital means that every single other choice is deliberately handicapping yourself. Other than that the gun balance actually feels decent - even with the insanely extensive attachment system the individual guns feel different enough that I find myself switching between them depending on the map / mode - Spawns are absolutely hilariously hosed on any pacing other than Tactical. Like I literally don't even understand how it's possible to code something so dumb, it's genuinely worse than just plopping you in a completely randomized square on the map every time you spawn. I know they've said they're fixing it but pretty much every CoD I can remember had poo poo spawns so I'm not super confident that's going to improve very much - A lot of the lower-tier killstreaks just suck. Care packages bounce like crazy and just randomly get dropped like 100 feet away from the smoke marker - I think like 3/4ths of the ones I've called in have landed outside the map or on a roof. The mortar strike lasts way too goddamn long but is also basically impossible to actually use because you can't set the marker anywhere unless the map is outdoors and there's zero cover around. Glide bombs have lovely targeting and it seems to be completely random whether it penetrates a roof or not. The Death Machine thing has atrociously slow ADS speed and gets outgunned by most things unless you're using the splash damage to shoot into windows / doors, etc. Attack dogs are ridiculous bullet sponges. Having a lot of fun despite public lobbies feeling way sweatier than I remember - or maybe I'm just getting older and there's a bunch of young people with super twitchy reflexes who are tapped directly into the meta thanks to twitch streams and stuff. Are there any goon clans organized yet?

The turn around in sentiment around this game post release is pretty wild. My expectations going in to a CoD are pretty simple : Shooting dudes should feel good. A caffeine fuelled arena shooter like pace, but also "smooth". A good sense of progression. And this ticks them boxes. Also gonna drop my Xbawk Gamer Tag in here again, add me: S1Nx81

Im having a lot of trouble with marksman rifles, they don't seem to have a lot of utility compared to the ARs because the recoil is so incredible and you have to really wrestle it back into position for a follow up shot. Maybe it's just a matter of attachments, but I've been mostly using the rifles just because one shotting people when you land a headshot is incredibly funny, but for practical fighting it loses to the Automaton almost every time. The weird thing is that the weapons like the Garand are best at almost melee ranges because your two shot still lands quickly even despite the recoil.

The wait time for the care package drop is so ridiculous too even without considering there's a good chance that it will bounce away somewhere inaccessible. I feel like when I use it I wait a long time to just get Intel from it and that time could have been better spent getting kills or objectives.

Other than that the gun balance actually feels decent - even with the insanely extensive attachment system the individual guns feel different enough that I find myself switching between them depending on the map / mode Both guns currently have overpowered builds, but it's actually not Vital (directly) in either case - Vital on the StG just makes the 8mm Kurz ammo ttk competitive with what Russian Short does anyway if you aim center-mass (which is a low TTK but is very analogous to several of the other ARs). It also doesn't combine with the StG's +headshot damage barrel, and it shouldn't provide Russian Short any TTK advantage (since vital damage is almost identical to body-shot damage and it's a 3 shot kill either way). But, for whatever reason, it's bugged in combination with Russian short and actually does like 78 damage to the upper chest (but not the head), which gives what was already the best StG ammo ridiculous 2-tap potential. The MP40 doesn't even have access to Vital to begin with (the other AR's/SMG's with Vital access are the ITRA Burst [which likely needs the help], and the Type 100 [which probably doesn't, but unless it's bugged similarly to the StG while using the Russian Short conversion it's also not doing much]), the broken combination there is the 8mm Kurz conversion + hollow point bullets. 8mm Kurz boosts the body damage up to 46 while leaving headshot/vital damage unchanged, which would normally make it a 3 shot kill gun, and actually give it the slowest theoretical ttk for an in-range SMG using its best ammunition (though it's still in the "top ARs" ttk range and the disadvantage is offset by the MP40's superior stats in other areas). However, while hollow point bullets are usually marginal on other weapons, whatever scaling has been applied in this case somehow boosts the limb damage of MP40 8mm Kurz up somewhere north of 50, so you can consistently 2-tap people by targeting their arms/legs (which gives it an absurdly low ttk). e: Bonby posted:WHAT yeah it's a gamechanger, makes the game vastly more playable when your team is getting fuckbarreled by killstreaks LGD fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Nov 11, 2021 |

The Vital bullshit is present on the Type 100 as well for a spicy 88ms ttk or some nonsense like that Doesn't touch the 'literally kill in one pellet with the combat shotgun' though  Once they fix that it should remove the worst of the 'what the gently caress I'm just dead' idiocy - the STG is bad not because it's wildly overpowered compared to everything else, but because it's omnipresent and it has a broken setup I've found just about every gun I've used so far has had some configuration that makes it worth using I'd guess we'll get a worst of the worst gun fixes patch soon and more tuning for less obnoxious but still broken stuff later
