If you run around with a shield and no kills long enough, sbmm kicks in and it starts getting easier. I was stuck for a long time on launchers cause my teammates kept kill stealing my killstreaks, I still throw care package markers where the other team can pick them up easier without thinking.

Does anyone else run dual LMGs in CW multiplayer? I did it on a whim, and I'm having a blast. Also, it's fun to blast attack helis and spy planes out of the sky with them and still have enough ammo in the same mag to take down a couple guys. Oops, meant to post this in the other thread. Btw, is MW multiplayer still pretty active on PC? I was thinking about giving it a try. Rad-daddio fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Jun 1, 2021 |

Or Activision could, y'know, shell out a few dollars for a good anticheat program. Apex, Fortnite, and Overwatch are all popular FTP shooters/BR's that have very good anticheat and don't suffer nearly as much from "got headshot literally across the map by a guy who couldn't even see me" poo poo you see all the time in WZ.

I'm a sub 1.0 k/d WZ player, so it's pretty easy to spot a cheater when a person on a brand new account is quadrupling the second place kill count with long shots from across the map with pistols.

The way SBMM works, assuming your squads KD is actually below 1, you shouldn't run into cheaters very often. If your KD is <.7 the only time you should run into them often. When you do it's because their accounts are new and they haven't been kicked up the MM chain, but that period generally lasts less than 5 matches for the cheater before they get adjusted. If your KD is over 1.2ish, you'll run into them every now and then because you'll get put into the higher MM tiers sometimes. If your KD is over 1.5, it's likely you're gonna run into cheaters quite regularly because you've crossed the threshold where you're regularly going to be in very sweaty lobbies. The thing is the only cheaters youll ever confirm are the bad ones. You'll never be able to tell a good cheater apart from a good player. There are signs, but the cheats are so sophisticated if it's a decent player using them you'll never be sure from a killcam.

I could've sworn I saw one of my team mates spinbotting in Nuketown, but I'm not sure. Is that a thing in COD?

I find that it’s a lot easier to know if a cheater is present than determining who it is. A really dumb cheater, most of them, will wipe out a lobby pretty early turning it into a ghost town by the second circle.

Looks like whatever update just loaded has completely hosed MW multiplayer. Can’t get a single leve to load and it keeps crashing. Yay! Time to redownload a 200 gig+ game as a fix!

Yeah definitely, BFV sucked poo poo. 3/4 were amazing and had great vehicle combat as well and the destruction effects were awesome. I wasn’t a huge fan of BF1 but it was still pretty good for large scale battles. V is probably the worst of the main battlefield games tbh. 4 is free on twitch prime now as well!

That we will likely never see Battlefield 2143 while Disney is probably mandating that they don't do a competitor sci-fi Battlefield to Disney's sci-fit Battlefield makes me extremely sad.

priznat posted:I hope Battlefield 6 is good and they learned from all their fuckups and can supplant cod (lmao no, EA) haha yeah, same. I started with COD, realized BF was better and went over to that for years, then BF got bad and COD got good again so I switched back...Now battlefield is not great and COD is an absolute mess full of broken updates and the worst attempt I've ever seen at this unified GAAS thing. Waiting to see if someone can tip the scales. Actually it would be nice if someone could swoop in and replace them both. Although if Titanfall 2 can't succeed, nothing aside from the big two can.

Every once in a while jackfrags does a battlefield vid and you can tell he has the most fun doing that. I think Warzone really hosed up with their map update, it’s so minimal everyone just got bored. If they don’t add some good poo poo before the late fall battlefield will just crush it.

Firestorm was such a pile of poo poo that I would not immediately give any credence to BF6 BR being good enough to draw anyone away from any of the big ones but we'll see I suppose.

Very true. Their main fuckup was not making it f2p tho, it was kinda cool in some ways. They had to have learned from that right?! (Lol) Also WW2 limits the fun skins and stuff you can do unless it gets really weird (which I am fine with)

It had cool stuff but it was just inherently flawed in a lot of ways. I am curious if they'll do more armed vehicles in a more modern setting. Vehicles are part of that BF DNA but it'd suck to have final circles come down to "Did you get a tank and cover it in trophy systems?"
