- I have been prone on the flag and killed the attacker before they see me

Someone on the subreddit posted a clip in which they dropped everything (in WZ) and went prone by it to play dead. Someone took the bait and got punched to death :lol:

Shooting dickhead teammates on hardcore mode in the back of the head when they come and stand right in front of you aiming down the same window/lane/whatever that you're very obviously covering: acceptable, or actively encouraged?

Absolutely encouraged, I shoot teammates (twice) for less in hardcore!!

I think you can hit them with a stun grenade so they get killed, without it killing you.

If we are getting destroyed or they’re being jerks I troll the poo poo out of HC teammembers sometimes if I am in a jerky mood.

The texture bug just seems to pop up after X minutes in the match (generally I've noticed it once we get into the second circle) so there's got to be something to that; I've had the bug hit a gun that I've used before out of nowhere, it's so loving stupid.

Honestly if I die after the first circle it's a miracle if the gulag gun isn't hosed and it's a 1/100000000 chance that I actually find a decent gun that isn't a loving fractal mess at that point.

I did get super lucky with a 725 gulag, the gun bug hit me and the whole screen was hosed (sometimes it's not the full screen that gets hosed like the video above shows), I ran to mid with fists out, switched to the gun as I jump peaked the corner and just shot a hail mary and killed the guy.

Ever since the Bruen/FAL nerf update, my game has just been running poorly. Playing on high texture resolution previously was fine, but post-update, it caused the game to stutter. Bizarre, but normal settings runs smoothly, so whatever. Didn't run into the godawful texture bug tonight except in a killcam which was fun.

Bruen is still pretty gnarly in Warzone. Tried a Kilo tonight and didn't hate it. Recoil doesn't feel as smooth as the Grau's, so might go back to that or just keep rolling with the Bruen. Kinda like the AN-94 too. Do like that there's "some" variety among the AR/LMGs, wish the MP5 would get nerfed to fall in line with the other SMGs or for some of those to get a buff.

I think it's also definitely related to dying or to trips to the gulag. I don't think I've seen it ever before I've died and gone to the gulag. I wonder if it's happening in stimulus solos. I'm guessing probably yes by the video above.

The bruen nerf ain’t poo poo. If anything it feels microscopically less powerful at very long ranges but is still and absolute beast.

I kind of knee jerk started using the grau again for a bit and then went back to the Bruen and I still like the Bruen better.

What's the deal with the almost constant "$75,000" tournament streams that streamers have up? Is there some level of BS to it, or is someone frequently funding high dollar prize Warzone tournaments? If so who is funding it? Activision? Twitch? Sponsors?

The best part about those tournaments is watching streamers get owned by hackers or the texture bug.

Do the stadium keycards disappear after a certain amount of time? I found 2 on the executive level and by the time I came back for the second one a minute or two later it was gone. There were no other squads around.

I think you're really underestimating how big of a business this game is. The last time Activision released a budget for an IW COD title it was $250 million dollars. Twitch was bought for $970 million dollars. $75,00 is a meaningless amount of money for the companies involved.

I watched 5 mins of twitch streamers today and they were reacting to some tweet about companies having too much control over games. There was something in the tweet about how this move by apple could drag the community into 1984 and all three or four of the streamers were asking, "What happened in 1984? Can someone tell us what happened in 1984? Oh it's a book?" This is thoroughly in line with my preconcieved notions of professional game streamers.

I watched about 10 minutes of one earlier and two of the guys were arguing whether truffles were good or not, while one of them was clearly talking about the fungus and the other one was talking about the chocolate. Neither one seemed to be aware of the other type of truffle and they just confused each other for about 5 minutes before just giving up on the argument.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
When I'm in a game where it's just two of us, almost every single time after each match the game removes us from each other's party and we have to re group again. Sometimes we'll get a message that's like SERVER IS FULL and then it won't let us regroup until we try it a few more times. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's SO annoying

I accidentally killed a teammate who happened to be playing the same character with the same skin, and when I next saw him I apologized by doing the friendship dance (crouch stand crouch stand) and he did it back. :buddy: he followed me for a while and one of the guys we took down had a mic connected. His last words were "fuckin twins?!?!"
