I mostly play "normal" HC MP modes like TDM, Domination, etc, and occasionally WZ if I've got friends on and feel like being the worst player.

I want to practice and experiment with different load outs to see what works better for me in WZ, however I don't want to put in that much time. Are there any other game modes that would have similar armor, TTK, and encounter ranges as WZ, but with faster access to load outs?

Plunder (a wz mode) has the same health/armor system but you spawn with loadouts and respawn when you die.

It's insane how accurate this is. Imagine not being able to wipe an entire team as a solo, would make team play so much more important.

"Capture gallery" I think it's called, the symbol is like a polaroid and a film strip. It might be in your home screen, or you might have to scroll over to "Library," click that, then find it in there.

Why is there an option to report an offensive name (something that is barely noticeable) but not one for "my team mate has spent the last 10 minutes spouting the most vile racist poo poo I've heard in a long time over voice comms, purely because someone had Asian characters in their username"?

Got a plunder win tonight where I had almost 900k and my teammates maybe had 100k each. They also spent the entire time on the other side of the map doing gently caress knows what. I'm always baffled by people who don't actually try to pick up money in plunder. Like...that's the point? If they're determined to play TDM they invariably suck rear end and just get shot over and over.

A lot of people that don't own the main game play Plunder to level up their guns (and maybe some do it for completing challenges too?). It is often the best mode for that available in the WZ playlist for that. I'd wager a significant chunk of every Plunder lobby isn't playing to win Plunder. I used to play Plunder for gun leveling before I bought the main game, and I had a few late night games that took forever to end (must have gotten close to the 30 minute limit) because I assume there weren't any full teams actually trying to collect money.

Big mags allow the sweatlords to split in wz and wipe the whole map during quads play. Everyone having 30 round mags would also help the LMGs stand out. Big mags should have larger movement penalty if you ask me.

Me and my friend did a duos yesterday where we both got in helicopters, he grabbed a most wanted as well. Eventually we finished that, went down to a buy to get armor and then went back up and just stayed in the air flying around the whole time. Eventually my friend got cocky and tried to catch people falling back into the match and his helicopter was shot out of the sky, so he spent the rest of the game hiding in bushes and stuff. I stayed in the helicopter and was there all the way til the final circle, and got 2nd place :v:

Almost no one wanted to shoot at my helicopter until the very end of the match

I played my first round of Plunder since it came out the other night and went 11-0 which felt pretty nice considering I've been getting used and abused in Warzone and Gunfight a lot for the last couple weeks.

Ehhh you are not solo wiping teams in quads unless they are bad/do something really stupid.

Yes, you will get wiped by a solo guy if your quad pushes him 1 at a time, but it won't be a single 60 round mag that does it.
Yes, you will get wiped by a solo guy if you push into his 24rnd drum mag origin 1 at a time.

No, you shouldn't get solo wiped if you communicate with your team, flank the guy and time your push; exceptions for REALLY loving bad people that can't hit the broadside of a barn.

I still agree that 60rnd/50rnd mags should go away, it would make focused fire even more important and LMGs more useful, it would also probably encourage closer play (or people actually attempting to be accurate) with ARs instead of hosing 60 bullets down range to kill someone.

I don't know how indicative the alpha is of CoDBOCW, but my impression is that every change from MW is an improvement and to make up the difference they've found a dozen new mistakes. That no flinch thing is like ten times worse than I could've imagined.

the map design is way better, except for satellite,and the ttk being longer really helps cover silliness like C4 and lovely client side hit detection. I also like that domination zones are huge instead of tiny circles in the wide open that are easy to purge from a distance.

but matches need more players (in core, I didnt try combined arms) to really make use of the maps and holy poo poo no flinch is a loving catastrophe. I know I already said it but drat it's bad.

the big seller seemed to be the increased customization and again, maybe just because its alpha, but that was a huge nothing. it's basically just gunsmith but how you have the wildcards too. I don't care for it but I guess it's not worse?

It would only slow down pushes. There is no penalty for reloading at range, and a diminished penalty for reloading as a defender. The people who need bullets in the gun at all times are the ones pushing up.

The larger mags really make WZ reasonable, otherwise you'd be looking at ~6-13 bullets to kill with 30 round mags - meaning you'd be able to down literally 2 people max at 100% accuracy, and not finish anybody. In other words, having more people would win you any fight by default. And the suggested change wouldn't even remove full auto spam at range, it would just make LMGs the default for this behavior - functionally the same result, except for less incentive to ever push.

One of MWs weirder design choices (possibly to do with being console-friendly) is that recoil is very small, but only imperfectly controllable (unlike say PUBG, where the camera represented your recoil precisely) - that is ultimately the reason that the best gun you can build is one in which most unpredictabilities are minimized, you just pull down a wee bit and let ~700 RPM fly until the guy is dead or your bullets are out. I don't see a lot of ways around this besides a) messing with AR and LMG handling or b) reworking the bullet speed system. That second bit is interesting, because the long range performance of ARs right now has a good bit to do with the 900-1300 m/s bullet velocity and a complete lack of drag - that is a huge part of the reason why clicking on a guy and just letting lead fly works.
