Does the person who killed you with a rock get a kill for that?

Probably, the guy who triggered c4 with a rock and killed both players got a kill for it.

It works the same as stun/flash grenade contact kills, so yes

Basically it does like the lowest amount of damage possible, but you can still get a kill the your opponent is super low on health

Somehow I've had no luck at all with the Kar nor the Carbine, they always seem to hit an anti-sweet spot for me where they're both too unreliable in getting 1-hit-kills and too slow-firing to snag 2-hit-kills reliably. I see plenty of people doing well with the Kar, tho, so I'll chalk this up to just me being a bad I guess. Have to agree that the SKS is good fun, though.

All the marksmen rifles are varying degrees of bad to dogshit in normal mode, but turn into bangers in hardcore. I wouldn’t try using them not in HC.

I wish IW would put in weather effects on some maps. I miss maps like downpour just because of the rain. I dont know if it would be viable or worth it since I can hardly see someone across Rust, but i think it could be fun.

isn't that specifically a warzone issue, though? just because it has a high ROF and mag size for a MMR doesn't mean you should be able to dump 1HK/2HK shots with no consequence. I'm fine with the 'nerf' being a lower overall ammo cap

It’s also an issue in MP if you’re good (like me) and don’t die (also like me) and don’t run scavenger (also also like me)

If you are looking at it from a damage perspective, any MMR is putting out a fraction of the damage per shot and carries the same ammo pool as a sniper. The first part is fine obviously, but running 30 round mags on an SKS in warzone a full reserve of ammo only allows for one reload with 10 rounds left over. And that’s assuming you’ve actually found that much sniper ammo or are running the perk.

The SKS is definitely good in Warzone but the ammo situation gets dire so quickly I stopped using it after a day.

E: exception being the crossbow which is hilarious because a crossbow only comes with a single bolt in it, but also 40 extra rounds is probably more than you could ever use.

VERY ACCURATE....i absolutely raked with it, iron sights on most mid sized MP maps

it also has a 30 clip mag, but still very stupid that SKS, Dragunov and AK, which LITERALLY were designed around the soviet idea of a universal round and rifling for modular use of all infantry rifles, doesn't just use the same AR ammo pool

yet the AUG 5.56 for some reason will take pistol ammo, stupid as heck and i'm legit huffin about this irl

Dragunov doesn't use 7.62,39 it uses 7.62,54R

But yeah, the SKS would be legit amazing in WZ if it used the AR ammo instead of Sniper Ammo pool

I actually legit smile or laugh when I see the crossbow reserve ammo sometimes. I think it's honestly intentionally funny.

Just play ground war and wait for the tanks (not apc) to spawn in and go killin. The quarry is probably the easiest. Go onto the ridge looking over B and D and just start firing.

Any key to unlocking the crossbow? I have been running a marksman with a reflex sight for 2 days and am at 0/25. Conservatively I have 10 matches with 5 kills? Is it a certain sight? Do I have to be ADS?

You need to use a reflex iirc. Check the crossbow in the load outs and the game will tell you.

Make sure you're actually using a reflex sight too, not a holographic sight, just in case you were using one of those.

Same with the M14 imho; it'd be a pretty decent pick if it didn't use precious sniper ammo and limited greatly in the reserves department.

It kind of made sense, but it was implemented badly. DMRs are the rifles that trade power\distance for mobility. Snipers are the bulky powerful rifles for long range.

My biggest complaint are the attachment choices. Why can't snipers go scopeless or use cartridge sleeves? Why can't DMRs use all the scopes?

The challenges used to always mention "sniper rifles" but DMRs worked too. They were probably split during development.

the real answer is they "Added more content" by splitting the weaps

also, per the kilo chat a couple pages back i just did todays challenges using it. my opinion is that if youre an average skill player that finds enjoyment not purely from KDR or whatever, if you think the kilo looks & sounds cool, congrats, u found ur new m4

w the usual caveat that i was not playing WZ

Sorry for a dumb question, but I downloaded Warzone yesterday and it only seems to be various BR modes? Are there other MP modes included in the paid game?

It's not a dumb question, Modern Warfare has turned into a complicated somewhat confusing product. Yes, Warzone is the free-to-play Battle Royale only version of the game. There is a ton more in the paid full MW.

Personally I bought the full version and feel that it is worth the $50. It iterates on everything successful about CoD and feels like a nice modern reboot of MW2. Textures look really nice, runs well on my Xbox, and gameplay is, well, same as it ever was.

If you're on the fence, IGN on YouTube has good reviews of the full game and Warzone. And Infinity Ward posted 4K footage back around release that gives a feel for what it's like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ-fuJRgqUc

Yeah I figure I'm gonna have to do that but I generally suck at getting killstreaks together in ground war

Although I've had a lot of joy in the past tooling around krovnik farmland in a jeep or truck squishing people and getting streaks that way so maybe I'll try that

Also if you don't mind waiting, they've been doing "free MP" weekends where you can access a MP playlist on the Warzone client so you can get a feel for it before making the purchase.

Pretty interesting. The barrels have some pretty dramatic unlisted effects, mainly:

-Longer barrels make hipfire & aim stability worse
-Any barrel that says "-bullet velocity" also reduces range, between 15%-30% it seems.
-Shorter barrel also make hipfire better
-No stock also makes hipfire better, seems like they both are in the 7-9% range.

When you combine the short barrels and no stock on the MP7 the hipfire spread gets pretty small, it's effectively adding another 1mw laser or merc grip to the gun.



The left is how I would normally run the MP7, w/ 5mw+Long Barrel+stippled+Merc+Silencer
The right is MP7 w. 5mw/Short Barrel/No stock/Merc/Silencer

I controlled both for vertical recoil

I think hipfire smgs are extremely underrated in WZ if you pair them with a good mid to long range AR/LMG.

That makes sense. It seems like generally Warzone guns have to skimp on ADS time in order to be more effective at longer ranges.
