So uh all I had time to play was 2 matches and I really like the feel of it. It was super fast paced and intense and feels better than MW. Not like a clunky WWII shooter at all. Can't wait until I play more tomorrow after SBMM kicks in and I hate it instead. But for now the initial impression is surprisingly good. I'm on PC and I felt like I was playing WWII themed Quake Arena or UT or something. They really jacked up the speed of everything Roman fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Nov 5, 2021 |

i don't think the problem is that ww2 is played out, it's that "western europe mid 1944-1945", "brutal russia", and "tropical island fighting japan" are all played out by now. like, fucks sake, this was a world war! all over the world!! for 6 years!! there's a whole host of battles and campaigns just ripe for plucking ideas from, even the settings already used so often. instead we see the same poo poo with different voice actors and sharper textures

There's still a few bugs (reticle challenges don't work at all) but in terms of actual gameplay, it's SO much better than Cold War. It's so nice having to think about attachments that aren't just ADS speed, recoil control stuff is super important.

Call of Duty 3 had you play as Canada and Poland, and it was the most boring campaign ever.

probably picking this up because its really hard to find any new shooters that arent battle royale and i was one of those wierdos that mostly enjoyed cold war despite the lovely matchmaking.

The unpaid streamers seem to enjoy how smooth it feels, so that's a plus. I really don't want to play WW2.. I need to hold out until the 19th for BF.

I need to hold out until the 19th for BF. the "setting" is interesting because the combination of non-real-world-faction-specific operators and bizarre, fanciful, and anachronistic weapon modding that leaves your guns bearing little resemblance to their real world counterparts actually makes the whole thing feel wayyy more like a fantasy dieselpunk COD than anything to do with WW2 ironically, going so over the top annoys me significantly less than the BF V halfway approach

TTK feels too low, maps feel huge, and gunplay feels Battlefield-y. Not liking it so far but then I didn't like Cold War at first either. The physics are also pretty bad when it comes to bodies and other objects flying around.

I think it'll take a while to evaluate because of how much wacky stuff potentially exists in attachment combos that'll take a while to unlock like apparently you can more or less re-create OG MW2 commando pro via bayonet + reach

Doesn't feel like WW2, if that makes sense. Cool maps so far. Extremely surprised after the beta that you all know blew balls. Game good. Play it. Edit: One critique is the operator system. Don't get why there isn't a handful of generic ones to choose from when you start out. Trump fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Nov 5, 2021 |

LGD posted:I think it'll take a while to evaluate because of how much wacky stuff potentially exists in attachment combos that'll take a while to unlock going to reiterate this point as a major difference from MW2019 (where something like the M4 was obviously bonkers from level 1), the bonuses attachments give are pretty much all significant, frequently all or mostly upside, and some of them (barrels and magazines) are genuinely transformational, so it's extremely hard/impossible to evaluate a gun just based on its initial performance - especially in an environment where they gave everyone the best ttk ammo for the StG and MP40 at level 1 from blueprints like, I started playing around with the Automaton because it seemed like it should eventually be good, but it was quite rough to start with - and then lo and behold by the mid 20's it had come into its own and now appears to be highly competitive with people using the ubiquitous StG + Russian Short combo (and reasonable odds the final ammo unlock is even better just based on the numbers) not really cosmic wisdom here or anything, but I think the game's design means that (until there's a real meta established) you just kind of need to blindly pick guns and commit to suffering with them for a while

man the recoil is pretty nuts on the guns. i was pretty good with the dmr and type 63 in cold war but im flailing all over the place with the garand.

I actually like the upped recoil, it's nice having to balance my attachments instead of All ADS Speed All The TIme. The Garand is a lot of fun.

I watched a little bit of the Vanguard campaign playthrough, and it looks 10X better than the campaign mission settings in WW2. The Vanguard mission variety looks good, and gives a non-immersion-breaking reason to split the missions about between the different special ops characters featured. Initially I wasn't crazy hearing about the alternate-historical aspects, but the portrayal of the missions looks better than the closer-to-historical setting accuracy found in WW2. And the Vanguard graphics engine looks like it would be immersive to play the missions in. I'll probably pick this up on sale later, as I'm still playing through the previous COD campaigns.
