Wow, I forgot how hard it is picking up a new CoD game. I’m getting slaughtered constantly in MP. Any advice for someone who hasn’t played much CoD in like a decade+?

Fallom posted:Comments after playing a few hours today: Basically my assessment of it as well. I’m pretty terrible at this game but I’m enjoying it a lot. The sound brings me back to the days of Bad Company 2 and the verticality of some of the maps reminds me of stuff like Crash from CoD4.

WattsvilleBlues posted:Can I give a call out to the graphics? I've only played multiplayer but it's, as they say, a generational leap over previous games. It’s one of the best looking games I’ve played since I got my new laptop and it’s so drat smooth. Speaking of playing it on a laptop, I love that it has cross play. I can drop into a lobby in seconds since every platform can play together and I can play against other people with controllers only? Hell yes.

I’m about to unlock the lever action rifle in multiplayer- is it any good or is it more of a gimmick gun? It was fun when I dicked around with in in the campaign.

Carecat posted:Not sure I'm enjoying a meta evolving around fast M4/Kilo play. There's limited weakness to them except at long ranges against a more powerful gun or very close to a shotgun. I’ve noticed that I can do really well but the second I switch away from the m4 I do horribly. It really excels at all ranges, I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets nerfed super hard soon.

John F Bennett posted:What's the thing with the M4 now? Doesn't seem that special to me? I like the M91 a whole lot better myself It’s really accurate and lethal out to really long range, while still shredding people up close. I really haven’t had any use out of SMGs because it does so well at close range as it is. Also, who decided search and destroy and cyber warfare needed to be so many rounds? It’s nuts, it takes forever, and I’ve never seen a game of it that was even close so after the third round half the losing team has given up anyway.

punch drunk posted:Seems that Piccadilly and Euphrates Bridge are getting all the hate. I don't mind Piccadilly but holy poo poo Euphrates Bridge is some terrible poo poo. I really like all the other maps I've played so far except maybe Hill in Gunfight. Euphrates Bridge could be entirely fixed by killstreaks called in on a map again instead of via laser designator. The map choice was perfect for breaking chokeholds like the ones that always show up on that map.

John F Bennett posted:I really like Euphrates Bridge. It has some great spots to hunker down with view on and below the bridge. Got my 1st, 2nd and 3d quad kill there. I put the deployable shield in front of you and a couple of claymores behind me and go to town. I use the perk that gives you 2 claymores. The problem is it has spots where you can cover a choke point and only be vulnerable to a lucky grenade. I like the map except for when I have to attack the bridge, which is a loving mess.

Part of what makes camping so effective is the lack of good ways to force them out of their spots. Grenades feel really anemic even after I figured out how to get kills with them (play on domination) and kill streaks need line of sight to where you’re calling them in which makes them kind of useless on the good camping spots. Gimme a grenade that can kill poo poo and a cluster missile I steer in from above and it’ll probably feel a lot more open.

Cyber attack would be way better if it didn’t have so many rounds to a game. That’s the main reason I never play it, it’s basically over by the third or fourth round but it just. Keeps. Going.

blue squares posted:What's the verdict on the campaign? I don't care for multiplayer but I like a fun single player campaign for a redbox rental It's a CoD campaign. Lots of big ol' setpieces. I'm enjoying it so far, they at least are good about mixing up the big moments, like when you have to use starlight rounds from a mortar to light up a field to find the guys who are coming for you.

Cinara posted:Most of the weapons feel usable with not too many that are too strong, though SMGs don't seem to have a great niche. The 725 Shotgun is so busted and auto wins every close range fight though, gotta tone that poo poo down. It has so much range that it can oneshot in, and you don't even have to hit a solid chest shot to do it either. I did well with the double barrel pump action, the mix of a huge mag but fast follow up shots means I can either make sure one guy is dead or pop two guys back to back.

Doing the weapon master SMG kill objective had me really turn around on them. I did really well with the MP5, using Overkill to pack a FAL as a backup gun. Also, the call outs are pretty funny, I heard someone yell “contact”, turned around, and smoked three dudes in a row as they turned around the corner. As near as I can tell those really only benefit the enemy team.

John F Bennett posted:People that hold on to their M4 are really missing out. So many FUN weapons to use. Because that's what gaming is about. It's about FUN. I think some of the reason for that is the way that it feels kind of crappy to switch to a brand new gun with no attachments. It would be nice if marksman rifles came with some kind of optic, getting the red dot sight on the lever action rifle made a pretty decent difference.

Julius CSAR posted:How do the blueprints work? Like I can pull the one for the M4 up, but it doesn’t let me do anything with it? There’s no prompt for “apply” or anything as far as I can tell You apply it in the load out menu. When you’re picking the AR there should be an “armory” button next to it on the list. It’s a weird system, I had to look it up online before I found it.

Zikan posted:With ground war you basically never want to be outside if you aren't in a vehicle or sniping. Just choose a building to attack/defend and treat it like a small map of your own. I would love to see an FPS without any drat sniper rifles. They always gently caress up objective based modes because half the team will just sit back and try to snipe because "muh kdr!".

I just went 29-12 with the M91 in a game of HQ and felt like a loving god. Mmm. Yeah, that’s what I play COD for. We still lost because I was the only one trying to actually play the objective, but I get a kick out of the fact that my KDR was better than the people hanging back and playing it safe. E: There was also a lot of C4 use. So many C4 double kills.

GD_American posted:Ayep. Regenerating claymores, stun grenades, trophy system, overkill with a quickdraw M4, take Dom B and sit right there in the corner in full view of everyone on the other team. Nothing like it. It reminds me of the quality salt I’d get playing as Ajax when I dabbled in BLOPS 4. Even though I only had the shield for like thirty seconds in a match people would get furious, it ruled.

Even the weapon manipulation sounds like reloading and working the bolt sound amazing.

CascadeBeta posted:The CoD devs have always extremely overvalued things like one frame longer/shorter to ads and things like that. Blops 2's grip attachment decreased recoil by a whopping 2 percent. This isn't a fighting game where every frame matters. There's very few engagements that are decided by a one frame difference, especially when latency is involved. I think that’s a holdover from how intensely powerful stuff like stopping power and juggernaut were in CoD4. I’d rather see a bunch of stuff be broken in a fun way though.
