Nah PTT in shooters sucks. I used to rock PTT everywhere but I put in the effort to configure my levels properly and use a decent mic (ModMic, not $$$$) and its fantastic. Pretty rarely do I see it activate when I’m not talking. Call outs are much easier. Just make sure you bind a global key to mute mic (or get an inline switch) so you can do noisy stuff without annoying everyone. I rock Krisp.io for AI noise cancelling too (it’s integrated into Discord these days but I subbed to it for work) and people often say my mic levels are 👌 and voice is clear. NVIDIA’s AI noise suppression is awesome too if you are on Turing!

Just put a tiny bit of effort into your setup and you too can have really a enjoyable effortless voice chat experience.

Of course people who can’t be bothered to configure things properly should use PTT. Open mics are annoying. That is another good reason to play with Discord goons because ppl will mock you for egregious open mic. I try to leave voice open when I play MP with randos but 9/10 of games the chucklefucks cause me to hit F9

Season 5 has been a rollercoaster in that the game went from almost the worst it's been since launch with the Bruen meta, to the best it's been since launch after the Bruen nerf, then back to the worst it's been since launch with the rise of the Origin meta.

What's with the score board and lobby list showing random digits after names instead of clan tags and also why can't I see any of my friends online in the lobby

There's currently a Warzone bug where if you drive vehicles into a certain part of the map it crashes the whole server, so they're disabled until the bug is fixed.

The origin’s amazing. It’s the only reliable way to take out whole squads looking to hunt you down inside buildings.

For all the talk of “gunfeel” literally nothing beats the satisfaction of strafing out of a hallway and wellying a bunch of shots into a charging team and watching them hit the deck.

It doesn't seem to be a bug; they just changed the scoreboard to display your full CoD ID instead of your username and clan tag.

Who the gently caress knows why, though.

I'm pretty sure the number is always a 7 digit id

so if name is cool you get a 0

but if name is boring and lame and multiple people have it they hash it out with an id

Does preordering give any battle pass levels? I just preordered Cold War had to restart for the 200mb update and when I came back I was given 10 free Battle Pass levels, trying to figure out why.

I wonder what happens with MW specific mechanics when Warzone gets integrated into BLOPs. I'm guessing WZ is permanently routed in MW2019 and BLOPs related additions will be limited to stuff like guns, characters, possibly locations etc? Like, I can't imagine they will get rid of mounting and tactical sprint in WZ just because Blops doesn't have them.

But even then the new BLOPs looks to have very different shooting mechanics from MW 2019 so I wonder if the guns will perform the same in WZ as Blops or if they will essentially have to be redesigned for Modern Warfare. I really don't get how all of this stuff is going to work tbh.

They’ll probably go in the bin... along with my battle pass. Joke but seriously I’ve already got buyers remorse just seeing the leaked footage of the new game.

It has to be a bug... I'm on Xbone and it's very confusing while in a game. It's impossible to tell if your opposing team is stacked full of one clan since you can't see any clan tags in the scoreboard.

Yeah it looks really unimpressive. After all of the new stuff MW 2019 brought to the table, it's pretty hard to get excited for it. I wholly expect MW owners to get nudged into F2P territory when it comes out though. So assuming I'm still playing WZ it might get really annoying when some new OP gun gets released and it takes a month to level instead of an hour in Nuketown or whatever.

mounting guns was awesome, RIP best COD

E: otoh, idk what the RPG and wall-shooting meta looks like for MP in blops yet so, ill reserve judgement

its also hard for me to hate on a game where the m16 will (presumably?) be good (and also exist)

Look Ma, no wires!
New Blops looks like an identical engine in terms of movement and weapon behaviour, I imagine the only differences across the games will be the damage values.
Would be neat if guns could be across multiplayers but thats probably crazytalk.

PC players in our party sound like hot garbage. PS4 isnt much better, Xbox seems to be the best quality codec, although I am on xbox so maybe there is some re-encoding going on between platforms.

a british friend of mine moved from PS4 to xbox after his ps4 died and his accent and voice sound entirely different than on PS4.

PC players seem to have terrible noise cancellation. the 3 in my group all sound like rubbish and you hear everything in the background triggering the mic.

They might not be aware of the in game noise suppression option. Usually you need to bump it up to about 3.5 or so to keep background noise out.

I use both in game and discord regularly depending on which group of friends I play with and it mostly sounds the same once the in game comm filter is turned off, the only real difference comes from peoples mics.

The other night, right before bed, I dropped into Plunder to try out the burst Fennec I just unlocked (and to continue leveling it a bit).

Then this happened (Sharing via Twitter because I'm lazy):

it's a completely "new" engine built off the blops 3 toolset. They're using nothing from MW.

No, I'm sure IW considers that a feature.
