i got my gold knife and i'm not sure if i care to use any weapon ever again. if they're far away i can throw a different knife. why are guns in this game, are they just for cowards?

i love friendly fire and honestly no shooter should be taken seriously without it, but no HUD makes makes HC a nonstarter for me. In real life i can feel by weight and tactile reponse how many throwing knives I have! taking away the visual rep of that is just ridiculous you dumb game

yesterday i played 5 gunfights and got stomped out of 4, and the last one we won every round with my random teammate getting two kills and me getting the remainder, all but three of which were executions. your mileage may very, is what I'm saying.

lmao what the hell i mean yeah arklov is real bad but shipment is a work of art, maybe the best multi map in CoD history. almost every 6v6 map otherwise should be in the 10v10 list, and the actual 10v10 map, the palace (the only one i ever get to play, because it rolls constantly) should be a circle of hell unto itself.

I think tryhards became derogatory because they'd be chasing FOTM weapons and setups and generally exploiting game balance for wins, which is in heavy contrast to the type of dude who just wants to rock his favorite gun or in this game, grind XP on whatever they're working towards. but after a decade or whatever of this silliness it's just "they beat me because they care too much". just the next stage of "I don't have time to get good because I actually get to have sex lolol" in warzone PC players will get automatically labelled because playing on PC is ez mode, nevermind that it's very silly to expect someone to buy a console just for a CoD game. it's a whole thing.

Kali sticks do have longer range but really key is that they have a MW2 style melee lunge attached, so people who think they safe... aren't. the two hit kill is meaningless, I golded them on second day and the number of times I died between hits one and two i can probably count on my hands. in warzone the difference is even less - the knife was already a two hitter. Sticks are just faster and have the highest mobility in the game

I don't think there's any doubt that Apex (or any other FPS really) has better gameplay than CoD, but Warzone definitely has the best design scope of any BR and basically the only extant attempt at interesting lobby modes (all still bad, but being the only contender makes you #1 by default )

Fart Car '97 posted:Define "gameplay" because that's a very vague term. a combination of balance, gunplay, net coding and design decisions? I can't think of any area that CoD actually outshines any competitors except that Warzone is better paced and more engaging than other BR's to this point. I mean I love Apex but it's very stale BR-wise, probably for the competitive market it's chasing.

Fart Car '97 posted:Apex isn't exactly a high mark for balance, see: legend balance on launch with no low-profile or fortified & any legend that wasn't wraith/pathfinder/lifeline was pretty much a wasted slot. Weapon balance took quite a long time to reach where it is now, see: pre-nerf wingman, charge rifle, r99, spitfire, disruptor-round alternator. I mean it's true Apex had some changes to make balance-wise in the year and a half it's been out, but they did actually make those changes whereas CoD doesn't even get significant gameplay fixes between 60 dollar launches. I didn't say "Apex is better in every department" I said "CoD doesn't outshine it's competitors". for a favorable comparison of balance approaches, see CoD vs Destiny instead. Warzone and Apex sure do have similar performance in connectivity, but core (and especially hardcore) CoD + it's low TTK and significant alpha damage options combined with client side processing really form a house of cards made from bizarre design choices. Warzone does a lot to mitigate all that, obviously. The gunplay is absolutely better in Apex (and battlefield, even the bad ones. I actually can't think of example I can't list here. Tarkov is probably the high water mark in this department on PC, it's harder to find a good console example) It's certainly *easiest* in CoD, but a low skill ceiling isn't indicative of better, more interesting or more worthwhile design. a good design decision would be, say, objectives and missions in Warzone, a bad one would be trying to balance M+KB vs Controller by buffing aim assist instead of finding an appropriate difficulty modifier for m+kb so a player's choice isn't between "trivial point and click" and "let the robot do it for me"

VulgarandStupid posted:No one knows how good Tarkov gun play is because the game has literally never had less than 500 ms of actual lag (not client reported ping.) i don't know if it's still possible but when I played it had an offline practice mode, but actual lag is still better than client reporting anyway. though yeah, it's pretty dicey. Fart Car '97 posted:I think you're presenting a lot of your personal preferences with sweeping truisms here. Like you're just cherry picking when you want to use core or Warzone to suit your preference vs Apex, when core and warzone are different games entirely and Apex doesn't even have an analogue to core. I think you're trying to read into a CoD vs Apex debate I'm not really interested in. CoD gunplay is bad, it's got other strengths, Apex (and literally anything else) is better, but it only has BR and kind of a weak one. A personal preference would be that Apex is bad because character powers ala MOBA's and Overwatch are dumb and usually get stale immediately, which I do think but I know that's not actually indicative of game quality. Not personal preference would be pointing out that MW has half of it's automatic weapons have no recoil at all or what is there is trivial to mitigate, that instagib explosives are a constant and immutable presence in a game that also has no friendly fire (the best possible way to balance them) and that it's very clear that the reason for most of these choices is the accessibility that comes with a low skill ceiling, because accessibility = profit. since i feel you getting defensive, it's still fine to like this game. I play it every day! but pretending it's flaws aren't there is an obstacle to getting better shooters made, and the success of CoD and IW's resistance to criticism is already a huge obstacle for better FPS's to find their shine.

hardest part of golding the knife is crouch kills. Sliding with a knife is standard but you have to wait for slide to end for those crouch kills. the rest of it is nothing, just casual play golding the shield so you can platinum your knife, that's trickier.

mines can help in a lot of ways, as a detection system in case you're being followed primarily - but I've had success herding teams into them. after they set it off you can clean up pretty good. if you really want them to kill, put another mine, a C4, or a munitions box in it's path.

people complaining about the game getting harder and getting burnt out, it's worth remembering that you aren't just overexposed - the aim assist buff that went up with S4 (just in time for a quick scoping challenge and sniper gulags) was a huge change in a game that already has negligible recoil on most guns, crazy fast TTK and CoD lovely client side hit detection. they actually did make the game dumber in their silly bid to balance controllers against M+KB. it's even worse if you play controller with no aim assist lol

I'm gonna reccomend not doing HC for riot shield, because honestly the ease of you dying absolutely cancels out the ease of killing three dudes. I tried both and honestly either way it's gonna take a long rear end time though. all the other melee challenges are easy as hell, at least.

aim assist sort of can do that, if you put it on the most intense setting with high sensitivity you can sort of learn how to flick your stick in their direction and let go so the AA does all the work. it's not very intuitive and probably takes just as much practice as aiming normally, but it's only a step removed from how quickscoping worked in earlier CoD games. the preaiming is because on his screen he probably did see you. What you see from your POV and in the killcam isn't necessarily what they see, it doesn't even necessarily tell you their correct positions because of network discrepancies. Just part of the embrace of client-side workload.

rust and shoothouse are both irredeemable garbage. shoothouse is acceptable bad like cheshire park or azhur cave but rust* belongs in the 'skip always' shitpile like piccadilly or big Aniyah Palace. *unless we're talking gunfight. rust is a kickass gunfight map.
