This plays similar to rainbow six but the 2v2 maps are not designed very well for that tac shooter bullshit. Plus no lean is brutal if you are going to be this squishy.

The guns feel good, but explosives are a bit of a joke right now. Certain pistols are OP.

I wonder how much the gritty tone is going to get hosed up as pressure builds for cheesy neon guns and clown suits via loot boxes.

Just do this in the battle royale and leave MP boring

Recently they talked about that new guns will be added to the game but refused to say how. It is gonna be good when the first round of new weapons are in loot boxes again and everyone spends hundreds to get those guns because this is the best most realistic call of duty ever played.

In recent weeks they have said they want to make microtransactions more consumer friendly. Although they did say most weapon camos will be available through in game challenges or promotional events, but also want then to be "status symbols".

Luckily they said they are revealing the microtransactions and mxt system closer to launch.

This seals it. I will not buy the game.

Edit: I can't ever connect to the open beta so I assume the game is still rainbow six light trash like 2v2 was.

So I can play with controller on PC and get in with all the console players instead of stuck with dead game modes? No need to get it on my PS4 Pro then.

Ground war is better than all mp except cyber.

the game is a $40 to $30 buy unless you want the opportunity to gamble for the game breaking guns that drop in loot boxes before black friday

MP spawns are somehow the worst in any CoD I have played. The matchmaking is insane too. It is based on party size and not skill? Why play with more than 2 friends if you aren't in ground war.

The guns and movement feel good, but overall MP other than Cyber feels off.

Ground war is stupid fun still. Blowing up tanks with a thermite rules.

The person meant it’s worth buying at $30, not that it’s selling there now.

Yes this. There are enough frustrating little things that make me not want to pay full price if they game released tomorrow.

Lol at ground war having a glitch where you can get under the map and can get a nuke immediately. The only bit of excitement I had for this game was this mode, but this is garbage.

From what I can tell the loot box weapons are all special “blueprints” of existing weapons with exclusive attachments (like the shotgun rewarded for reaching lvl 10 in the beta, and the digital preorder pack rifle/revolver) and not actually whole new guns like they did in Black Ops 4.

That had better be the case, at least. Still really lovely.

It will be both.

Can't wait to spend $600 on another CoD experience.

The user score for this game on metacritic has hundreds and hundreds of 0 out of 10 reviews whose only criticism is the games portrayal of Russians.

They are correct. The Russians are given an American war crime in this game. The Highway of Death happened during the first Persian Gulf war. Urzikstan is an amalgamation of Afgahnistan and Iraq, but paints only russia has having done the crimes. The worst that can be attributed to the American side is the butcher interrogation and that torture is done by the British.

The more I play, the more the footsteps and involuntary callouts start to grate on me, it really punishes aggressive play way too much

My favorite is when you are trying to sneak up on somebody to do a finisher and your person screams they spotted someone.

Going off the top of my head, I want to try break down design and mechanics that promote camping vs aggression.

~Pro camping:
Footsteps
Callouts* (rarely can give away a camper)
Claymores + Mines* (perk counter, but costs a stealth perk slot)
Silencer changes* (kinda goes both ways - gives away positioning)
Low TTK (no time to react when caught by camper)
Map design (insane amounts of vantage points to clear while advancing)
Respawns (extremely predictable)
--most of these are core system/design issues

~Pro aggression:
Snapshot grenades* (negated by popular perk)
Riot shield* (countered by explosives, easily counter-picked if successful)
Pistols and shotguns* (low ads/ttk can make up for disadvantage sometimes)
Smoke grenades
Dead silence
Recon killstreaks
--most of these are singular loadout options

Snapshot grenades tell you if someone with that perk is around. Just not an exact location.

How so? Genuinely curious.

When you use a snapshot grenade and someone with ghost on is within the range of it exploding, you get a little ghost icon that appears at the bottom of your screen.
