Just tried booting up the game for the first time and I’m seeing a screen that says “STATUS Installing” and the bar never fills at all. Saw some fix on Reddit to go into settings and back out and try again but not working for me. Anyone else see this? Love spending $70 on games in 2022

If it just cycles then try verifying the files, and if that doesn't work go into the steam settings and clear your download cache.

Decoy grenades are once again the best if you like running points treat over killstreaks. Game is good.

Being able to fine tune attachment stats is gross.

So do the weapon stat bars mean anything this time around or are they still made up and the community is going to have to figure it out again? (I.e. does the recoil bar that increases or decreases based on attachments have anything to do with how much you are improving or worsening recoil).

Just unlocked the g3or whatever they call it in game. That thing is a fuckin beast. Really gotta switch out fire modes for longer range engagements though. Thing is basically uncontrollable in at range

Got any other tips for abusing score streak systems? I haven't messed with decoys, how many points do you get?

Heads up - if you’re having issues with poo poo you unlock not working, restart the game. I was having a tough time getting weapon unlocks to sync and that did the trick.

The backside is damage dropoff, apparently, but on a small map it's a beast.

Tried to play with a full party and it was practically impossible. Matchmaking seems pretty well broken. We were also all crashing pretty routinely, even the guy on PS5.

Yeah I have already crashed twice on PS5.

For anyone wondering what “Invasion” is, it’s basically Ground War Team Death Match, but it also throws in a bunch of brain dead computer controlled enemies as well. It’s good for ranking up hard to level weapons. The NPC enemies pretty much just stand there unless you get real close.

Also Marksman rifles (and maybe battle rifles?) have way, way less damage drop off compared to assault rifles and SMGs. The EBR-14 is incredibly good in 3rd person. The greater situational awareness makes it way, way easier to get shots at a distance and it only takes three or so hits to kill. 3rd person in general seems to greatly improve semi-auto weapons. I find it’s way easier to get kills even with the handguns when compared to playing in first person.

15 points per enemy killed who heard the Decoy, usually get the team. You can carry up to 3 with a perk. I always get the UAV , care package and whatever after most times I spawn.

Semi related is there a way to solo the spec ops missions or will it always drop you in a lobby?

Haven’t quite beaten it but no way would I recommend paying $70 for that campaign

It’s a nice add on to the multiplayer but it’s short and not really that great tbqh

you will not be disappointed, especially during the first few weeks - I was only able to play a little while last night but definitely had some dude raging because he kept running into my Expedite 12 in a stairwell

due to the whole "haven't played a lot" thing I'm not sure if any of them are actually truly good, but they're at least functional enough to get some people raging out and for now that's enough

Restart the game. I’ve had to do that for some attachments I’ve unlocked but didn’t show up until I restarted. Was also like that for the deluxe version items.

PS4/5 have their own separate versions, so I imagine yes. You get both when you buy the game since current-gen consoles are still scarce.

In a good way, maybe just need a reconfigure - I’m also 3080/8700K at 1440p and am pretty stable at 120+ with most stuff maxed (I always disable blur/depth of field/film grain though because lol why)

Also it’s seemed to default for me to a weird scaler - I moved back to DLSS and am having a good time. Finally, someone posted earlier there’s some weirdness with the most recent NVIDIA drivers so maybe worth looking at

I feel like the entire Battle Rifle class of weapons was just added to the game as a joke. The only thing that doesn't seem to outshine them in literally every situation is a shotgun.

The border crossing map with all the traffic on a single road is a really immersive map, I always wanted to know what it felt like to live through the Battle of Stalingrad. Having to cross 100 meters while getting shot from every corner over and over, debris everywhere to hide people in, enemy is screaming anti-semetic things at you, it's almost a perfect replica.

e. Anyone else not having pings show up at all?

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



Haven't played one of these in years, do most people turn off crossplay on console or no? Aim assist seems pretty generous but sometimes it feels like I'm getting laser beamed.


edit: I'd like the border crossing map a lot more if it didn't spawn me a million miles away from the action every single time.

and what kind of world would it be? HUH?!
My poor 1060 is really suffering in this. The race track, hotel, pirate fort and the border crossing are the only maps that run acceptably. Really would like it if shotguns weren't absolute DOGSHIT compared to any other weapon. TTK is so fast and M4s are so laser accurate that you die between hitting mouse 1 and you shooting even in point blank range.

I keep only playing the same 2 maps from beta in TDM.

However I did play one where there's basically water surrounding the map and kind of cutting through and honestly I love it.

Had a challenge to get 5 kills in a round with a marksman rifle, just put the EBR-14 into a loadout, ended up being the 2nd highest kills on my team. Think I quite like that one, we'll see if that holds or if it was beginner's luck

I dunno I was rocking the g3 on full auto pretty effectively earlier today. Just gotta remember to switch the fire mode. It does stupid damage up close.
