I noticed that in the beta too. Felt like I had to mag dump to kill anyone but everyone else was getting me in 3 hits or less from the same gun.

Whats the cheapest way to play this piece of poo poo?

lol mw19 had issues where you would be deleted instantly in MP if someone was using certain high fire rate guns and the kill cam would look perfectly normal because of tick rate. see ya again next year I guess

:same: the parts that annoy me only reinforce it. Like killstreaks are annoying and encourage bad play but it's counterbalanced by it being really funny when you blow someone's hard won chopper gunner out of the sky in 10 seconds.

Reminder that if you own MW2, the RAAL with incendiary ammo will kill any plane, chopper or drone killstreak in about twenty rounds, which takes you maybe three seconds from spawning in. It is deeply funny.

So I haven't yet played the game. Will tonight. But I watched a jackfrags video on the Armory. So basically its just a way to limit/force a grind to earn more unlocks that normally would just be done by finishing the first 55 levels of the normal progression?

I mean it allows you to target unlocks if you’re good at challenges, I guess.

It just kind of sucks when you get a daily that involves something you haven’t unlocked yet (e.g. today I got “get 2 kills with breacher drones”), although I guess i could do zombies or whatever.

If you find a breacher drone in zombies and extract it with it as your equipped lethal - so not in your backpack - it'll unlock for MP. Could be faster than doing the challenges before you get hosed on that again.

I learned a trick for when this happens: check the default, uncustomized classes in MP. They have a load of gear that doesn't unlock till way later as you level up. I got the breacher drone one, and completed it because one of the default classes has breacher drones, and finished the MCW assault rifle weekly challenges the same way.

I played DMZ (MW2) yesterday and it was still very active.

Saves me quite a bit of money at least until WZ2 is retired for good.

Unless they introduce a similar (free) bot killing multiplayer in Warzone 3, I'll just move on to something else.

When/if DMZ dies, I'm more likely to give Tarkov a go than MWIII.

In other news, I just got my first bounty on me for killing 4 operators on Ashika. I've had other games with more kills without getting a bounty, so I'm not sure what the rules are for getting it.

I updated a just prior to Halloween to make sure I was set up to play Warzone for the spooky bits. I didn't actually play but it required something like 60GB of data. Last night I thought 'hey I wanna play some Warzone!' so clicked into the now nightmarishly fuckawful menu system to play. I get to Warzone, click into it and it tells me I need a further 30GB update.

So effectively it has downloaded an obscene amount of data to not have the bit that I actually want to play available.

Utter shite. I just deleted it outright and it will no longer take up a ridiculous amount of space on my SSD.

Zombies works really well for leveling bad guns. You can call in an evac chopper and just kill everything that spawns. When you use your power mapped to Q(no idea what it is on controller), everything killed with it will level up whatever weapon you are currently holding. MP on small maps will definitely level guns much faster, but it’s a decent alternative until then.

It's just the Field Upgrade command (Lethal/Tactical buttons), so either both Bumpers or both Triggers if you play flipped.

But yeah, I think that's also how it was in Cold War, too: level your bad guns in Zombies then bring them into MP. Moreso now because the Armory went and hosed up attachments for the time being.

That said, you could just grab a vehicle and run people over. The XP goes into your currently held gun. :v:

Why does Call of Duty NEVER launch with gun game (one of the few fun modes) until a few weeks or months after release? The lack of this and knockout mode probably means there's not much here for me.

To dipfeed content. Same reason we don't have every MW2 2022 map in the game.

I got to play for about an hour last night after work. I've gotta say it is with a heavy heart that the game audio is really good. Foot steps are directionaly audible. The movement feels good. I've been playing call of duty since day 1 so these old maps do have some weird muscle memory in them but overall I don't really like a lot of these classic maps. I feel like Terminal feels way too big. I feel like a lot of these maps feel way too big for 6 v 6.

Also, I got this game for free. I would never pay full price for this, especially if Zombies doesn't excite you at all.

I just skipped that challenge. You only need 5 of the 7 challenges done, and aint no way was I gonna get a triple with a loving AMR. Or for that matter, getting slide kills.

I was mistaken and thought the weekly unlocked a weapon, but it’s just a skin? For what? Where do I find it? I mean it’s been said repeatedly but the UI is really obtuse.

Game’s fun though and MWZ is fun as well if it weren’t for randomly teleporting out of the exfil into the void :argh:

Now be a dear and
fuck the fuck off.
I'm genuinely now at the point I reckon there's some weird buggy behaviour going on, or they've woefully underprovisioned infra whilst they're running MW2 and MW3 concurrently.

I'm a 'solid' player; I can top scoreboards in MW2 with regularity, mostly by preying on people just not having map awareness, whilst in MW3 I'm perpetually getting insta-deleted (like most deaths I feel like I've been hit by a OHK Sniper) but then it turns out I was shot 5-6 times. Just to check I'd not mysteriously turned bad, I went back to MW2 and yep, doing just fine. As already mentioned, killcams are unreliable because they're interpolations, but despite feeling like a longer TTK, when receiving if anything it feels like TTK is even shorter than MW2, and I can't fathom why.
