is the beta actually live or do I keep misclicking the MW menu option for the benefit of nobody?

it's live for the PS4 this week on the 8th, it starts for PC and Xbox on the 15th, assuming you mean the exclusive super duper idiot preorder beta

I believe the only thing you get to keep is the blueprint you unlock at level 10.

You think it�s confusing with new goons now, just wait until the influx of new/ returning PlayStation goons with the release of the PS5. I already have to check when I see friends in a party playing a game I want to group up in to see if we have goon friends in common before asking to join their party.

# ? Oct 16, 2020 02:25

eonwe: Aug 11, 2008; Lipstick Apathy

I think the guns feel a lto better than what I saw in the videos, jackfrags seems to think its improved from the last build he played. I think the gunplay feels pretty crisp and I like some of the guns quite a bit. The mp5 kinda sucks compared to Modern Warfare unfortunately tho

Actually I think they did a much better job doing 'bigger' maps than MW. Conquest is what it is in every game, but I really enjoyed that tug of war style game.

Bruegels Fuckbooks: Sep 14, 2004; Now, listen - I know the two of you are very different from each other in a lot of ways, but you have to understand that as far as Grandpa's concerned, you're both pieces of shit! Yeah. I can prove it mathematically.

I played it a bunch today.

My thoughts:

The engine in MW seems a little more advanced - hell I get better fps in this game than in MW. The guns look cooler and sound cooler in MW. I do appreciate that there's actual color in this game though.
The special modes like dirty bomb etc. kind of blow. It looks like the devs started off trying to do warzone equivalent for Cold War, were told to drop that mode, and repurposed their work on the warzone port to making a dirty bomb mode. There's too much going on and it doesn't quite work.
The quick play and the maps seem pretty decent. I like the new "spy" field upgrades like the radar jammer and the field mics. The spawns aren't as bad as those in MW (not a difficult feat).
I heard the sniper rifles were nerfed, but they're still straight bullshit in this game at least in this beta. Coming off MW you'll notice the difference immediately.
So far it feels like black ops 4 without operators - which is pretty much what I wanted out of this game.

The sound is really bad in this compared to mw and I'm not even a sound nerd, it just feels really hollow or something

I love the combined arms assault mode but my God the controls are weird for vehicles after playing a ton of mw

Le Saboteur: Dec 5, 2007; I hear you wish to ball, adventurer..

Sniper Rifles seem way too powerful in this beta and also the maps have a lot of wide open areas where this can be exploited. Point B in Domination on the Miami map is a particularly bad example of this, that whole area of the map can just be put on complete lockdown if theres even a semi competent sniper in the area.

Some sounds are wicked cool. I like when someone throws a frag far away from you and it sounds like thunder, but then everything else feels like you have noise canceling headphones on that only boost footsteps.

I'm probably the only one who cares, but the knife sucks compared to the MW knife, but it's also a ton of fun anyway, especially with this absurd run speed and slide distance.

This explains the sound perfectly tbh.

I'm enjoying it quite more than MW, the maps overall seem much better / less campy.

Digging it a lot. The maps having color is nice. Hopefully the netcode gets fixed before launch 'cause the hitching blows.

After day two, I have a few more concerns.

The sniper rifles are completely insane, especially fully unlocked. Very little flinch, accurate in the air? There's also the wildcard that makes it so you can take any type of gun (like say, an smg) with it.
The weapons have very little recoil. It's very easy for people to just hold angles with spraying.
The movement system is glitchy and people can do broken looking stuff with sliding and vaulting. I've seen people slide forward, cancel the slide, and start sliding backwards immediately, and have seen people take advantage of the pogo stick vault to launch themselves.
All the kill streaks are based on score (and don't reset after you die) so what will happen is there will be a blissfully period of no killstreaks, and then in the second round, it's all spy planes and napalm and artillery fire. I get that they were trying to discourage people from camping for killstreaks and to encourage objective play more, but it turns close games into a total cluster-gently caress.

Game feels fine to me on PC, although snipers can go gently caress themselves. There's like zero flinch, they can jump in the air under artilery and still have perfect aim.

i mean, blops 1 was set in the sixties and still had guns from the eighties and fire modes/attachments from the early nineties(!), so i don't see why cold war can't go nuts

CuddleCryptid: Jan 11, 2013; Things could be going better

I'm kind of surprised at the regression from MW2019 for this. I know it's different devs and different feel, but it seemed like they had a real good thing going with MW2019's weapon handling and the general punchiness of the weapons, while CW is going back to more like nerf guns with louder shots. I guess that's the ~brand~, but idk if that is what people really want anymore with so many games filling the same niche.

Agreed. Snipers should only be one shot with a head shot.
