Every single COD in the last 4 years or so waits a few months before properly introducing P2W weapons and really lovely loot box practices.

If I remember correctly you used to annihilate entire teams with that loot box shotgun/sniper in IW.

I got called a libertarian last time I said this in another thread, but if a parent is buying their kids games that are clearly rated 17+ and then also giving them access to their credit card for some inexplicable reason, the onus is at least partially (mostly) on the parent as far as I'm concerned. I'm not defending loot boxes. They suck and they are slimey and I'd love to see them gone as much as the next guy, but the world is full of poo poo like this and I don't get why people are so passionate about loot boxes, like they are any different than other dumb stuff like trading cards or capsule toys or whatever.

I guess I don't get when everyone became a helpless victim. I spent most of my childhood asking to buy excessive amounts of dumb worthless garbage and being told "no" for it. Game systems and phones even have advanced options that make it so you can lock your kids out of spending money.

Like, you aren't entirely wrong or anything, but there is stuff like that everywhere and it extends way past games or even just targeting kids. And while two wrongs don't make a right, the reality is that kids don't have any money, and if you are caving to their every whim and they are developing a gambling addiction, you are probably loving up as a parent.

This is excellently put. My son is getting old enough now that he's asking for robux to spend in Roblox. I had to setup the parental controls on his tablet and lock down his laptop so he couldn't buy poo poo. It's MY responsibility as a parent to ensure that he's playing responsibly. I'm neutral on loot boxes, though. I've spent a few bucks here and there on them. If you don't like them, don't buy them.

Loot boxes are designed to exploit people and prey upon addictions. Saying "lol don't do it" is pretty cavalier.

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0213194

There's plenty of other literature out there on it if you look.

One could argue that casinos are also designed that way, with the obvious difference being that they are regulated. At least video game loot boxes don't give you a rare item and then claim a "malfunction" when you try to redeem it, like many casinos have done to jackpot winners. I agree with you that hand waving it with "just don't do it" is cavalier, but I don't have any other suggestions that don't involve complex solutions like regulation that I'm not qualified to speak on.

I don’t know how but they did make it the most boring gun.

Anyone rolled it with the .458 SOCOM? Does that make it any more interesting?

I ran the SOCOM rounds for one match tonight and it didn't make a huge difference in kill times, but the 10 round mag size is absolutely crippling.

This CoD died faster than any previous CoD I can remember except for WWII at launch. None of the main PS4 CoD goons have touched it since it left such a bad taste in their mouths. What's the over/under on when it will stabilize and be halfway decent?

Their BR is going to fail hard as gently caress if they can't make it so you get into a match quicker. The TTK is fast as gently caress, and it's taking forever to get into games, like 5+ minutes. You simply can't have that fast of rounds with this long of a wait in between if you want the poo poo to succeed in an already over saturated genre.

Most people are probably still downloading the huge rear end file and I don’t think the free component has unlocked yet. It will have a ton of people playing by tonight.

The matches do this weird thing where the lobby is full, then the player count slowly goes down as if people are leaving the match, then it starts after a few minutes. I'm getting into games, it's just taking forever.

To clarify - it's not that there are no players, the lobbies fill up instantly, it just takes forever for the match to start.

Hot take after playing most of the afternoon - Warzone is a solid 5/10. It doesn't do anything better than any existing BR games, and actually dumbs some systems down. It's pretty meh.

What about compared to blops 4's offering specifically?

I think Blackout is better than Warzone.

For instance, in Warzone, the guns all come pre-configured, so if you get an AK you get whatever scope comes on the epic or rare version, you cannot change attachments. That is bad.

They’re definitely going to tweak the loadouts. They’re too easy to come by.

Still, I love how simple and fast paced the game is.

Always buy a cluster strike as soon as you can and drop it on the loadout box when you see people running to it. I got a doublekill like that.

Eh, I played it some more and it's still solidly "meh"

From another thread, makes sense:

"I thought it was neat until i realised it's rigged against people who don't want to buy or play the full version of cod

you can airdrop in one of your preset loadouts quite easily but farming the unlocks will take for-loving-ever in BR where you don't get many kills, so the people who play the meatgrinder cod modes are going to have perfect minmaxed kits on demand while F2P players have to deal with whatever garbage they find on the map"

Man, how do you guys even play this game on PC? I have a really high end machine, and the BR mode hitches to the point unplayabaility when there's a gunfight.

Anyway, Rumble was disappointing, it's just Ground War TDM where you parachute in. I thought it was going to be like the Blackout 50v50 which was amazing.

Holy poo poo WZ solo's is loving awful. I thought the lag and hitching issues would be lessened with only solo players, but it's not. The new cool thing is the game hitching for a half a second as soon as I start getting shot at and the enemy gets an insta kill.

Yeah I honestly don't really want a new COD. Why would they try to make an ongoing ecosystem game (MW) and a new game entirely at the same time? Surely they must know that's just gonna splinter the playerbase. Unless they're going to discontinue MW's seasons as soon as it comes out which would be really lame.

They've released a new Call of Duty game every year for YEARS, and every new one is hailed as the best one ever (by the marketing and hype machine, not necessarily by us). I'm not sure why you're surprised that they are sticking to their successful model. Also the internet rumors are that Season 5 is the last one for MW.
