And honestly, as someone who was essentially a F2P player for a couple months because I just bought BLOPs 2 days ago, maxing out a gun without the base game is not that bad. I think the MAC 10 took about a week or less to complete which was a pretty reasonable timeframe to max a gun out. You just can't pop into a shipment/nuketown and do the whole thing in an hour with a double weapon xp popped.

Leveling guns without buying either game is painfully easy. WZ is still the best way to level, BR or Plunder mode. The only reason MP might be necessary is for attachment unlocks that have specific challenges.

I'm not buying Trearch's tepid game unless it's STEEPLY discounted so I hope I never have to unlock some "while sliding/while in smoke" poo poo without a mosh pit. :(

The gulag is terrible and just rewards people who mount on whatever the closest corner is

With sniper rifles in the gulag, rushing to melee works 9/10 times for me. Generally surprises the opponent and they're almost dead before they start trying to melee back.

Good to know. My strategy of walking slowly around corners and shooting slowly has worked like gangbusters.

Also, I've discovered being anywhere near a big vehicle, even if it is barely moving, will instantly result in a roadkill death.

Blackout had the same stupid poo poo where the vehicle hit boxes were way too big and they would kill you even if they were moving at 1 mph and they semi promptly fixed it. I figured WZ would do the same back when it was released, but that was before I realized that they rarely fix thing in WZ and every godawful design decision is actually a feature.

With the current gulag, if you have car side, go behind the car.

If you don't have car side, try to catch a good timing and rush far left to get a good angle behind the car.

Also the wz hitboxes for vehicles were wildly bad when it first came out and they were improved greatly in the first month.

Step forward and go prone against the box on your left. Car guy will inevitably get curious and peek and you have advantage because he's strafing left against you, which is bad.

-or-

Step right and head glitch through the ladder railing and wait for car guy to peek.

Tac sprint jumping around corners with a good enough ADS speed weapon and then pre-aiming while in mid-air to where they likely are lets you contest methodical corner peekers in gulag.

If someone is posted up on a corner and you walk/strafe/peek where they are pre-aiming expect to lose those engagements the vast majority of the time assuming equal skill level.

Do not sleep on the grenades you get, stun+frag in gulag is basically insta-win for me, especially if I'm on non-car side; I stun behind car and then cook frag and blow them up.

On any side though a frag is good, if you know the person is pushing around the bus, cook frag and toss over bus, frags are basically insta-kill if they're reasonably close.

I have this great Gulag tactic - Shoot the other guy first.

Seriously, the analysis that goes into where to go in Gulag is crazy; You'll end up analysing and debating things that will only make single digit percentile changes at best of win/lose, when there's huge swing variables in play that'll override them casually (basic aim, move, latency effects) that you could work on. It's fidgeting around the edges.

Would you rather get hit by a bus every 11 times you leave your house or every 10k times you leave your house?

I've always hated the gulag. Mostly cause it actually counts towards your K/d and there is no feeling in WZ more sour than dropping, being unable to find a gun, dying and losing a gulag so you just have to sit there indefinitely at 0-2. It's a stupid thing to care about but it puts me in a lovely mood unless I can bounce back.

The Nuketown Gulag is next level trash though. At least the original one had multiple configurations and it wasn't all based on a slit between a board and a car. The rebirth one is actually good and should replace it in regular Warzone.

Anyone else having lag issues since the patch? earlier today I couldn't get a game with less than 200 ping, and just tried again tonight, first game was 230ish, second was 120ish and third was 230 again. Tried with different hosts one the second go around too.

Same! I bought the Modern Warfare on Thursday night (for PS4) , had a fine time then hit the sack. Today, it's been all lag.

And worse yet, looks like all XP gains in Modern Warfare MP are bugged. Meaning, no XP for matches or weapons. Challenges still work but uh, what the gently caress. And Twitter and Reddit are reporting this as widespread, so it's not just me!

I took two years off COD and it's welcoming to see that nothing has changed. Good to be back in the land of busted rear end patches!

Working as intended.

As for the Nuketown gulag, I saw that you can quickly climb up on the sill outside the window of the house just like in the multiplayer map. Someone did that to me and I had no idea where they were, got killed when I went looking for them. Not sure if that's a good strategy or not but it worked on me.

I have reasonable success from non car side rushing right, peeking the first gap and getting them on the way to the car.

Fists gulag is dumb as gently caress and I'm glad it seems reduced this week.

I got a free bundle in Warzone with a computer monitor charm. It said something like "Only available in Cold War/Warzone."

It won't come up in my Warzone inventory, but every single gun has the blinking green light under customization. Of course when I go into the configuration it's the charm box specifically.

The whole buggy blinking green light thing drives me up the wall.

No, but to stretch this same analogy, I don’t study tides to determine dominant wind direction for the time of year every time I leave the house, because it’ll affect whether the bus arrives +/- 1.3s, because it doesn’t matter.

While I have that option on certain screens, like operators, I don't on the load out screen.
