They should have done this months ago, but they're gonna trickle out these basic quality of life changes so that zombies players feel like they're getting something despite the fact the devs clearly have no long term plan for the mode. Every patch it's "here's a new schematic only item that causes some meter (ammo, gas mask, armor, etc) to passively refill. You can only get it from a new aether rift where you fight a worm."

They'll probably get the mode into a half competent status by the time the new blops game comes out and then move on to the new game that will also start half broken and take 7 months to get into what should have been the shipping state! Can't wait!

Yeah. I got maybe halfway through the last pass. Game is just out of steam for me, won't be buying any more battlepasses. I will still probably play a random Zombies match here and there because I have a friend who inexplicably still really enjoys it, but I'm basically done with the game at this point.

For all of your own health I would suggest just walking away for a while. It's done wonders for me. Although now that I've been out for a few months I might jump back on just to run it back with some friends on Rebirth.

The next call of duty should have one mode. Free for all and it's just shipment but you quintuple the floor space. It's just a giant warehouse map with crates and the only mode is the one where every kill you get it makes you faster and if you don't get a kill for a little bit you explode.

Anyone else having issues after the update? (Xbox Series X) gets to the menu screen then goes blank. Saw that Activisons status was connection issues until about an hour ago, and now there are no issues. I've rebooted etc etc, played some other online games. Still no CoD.

If I have to uninstall/reinstall I might leave out the second bit. Mainly curious if I'm alone in this.

Had not played DMZ since season 4 last year. Jumped back in and ran around solo--killing bosses. So much fun. Have a pool of CP. But even so, regret buying the BP. Zombies sucks compared to DMZ. I think I just want to DMZ until the next DMZ interation.

I was having issues one match where 60% of the time my gone would load barebones without any attachments and I would have to back to loadouts and reselect it to spawn with a kitted out gun.

yeah its nuts. its a hit scan weapon. you're dead before the shots even finished ringing out.

theres some tracer pack that also makes your screen flash gold every time you're shot too which is extremely loving lame.

Introduce a gun that doesn't break Call of Duty Challenge: Impossible

Remember in MW2019 when the SP-R was a hit scan weapon and for some reason had infinite wall penetration for like, a day.

It's an interesting dynamic that shooters are in right now. Where there is this need to feed the content beast but the more you do it the more you have to keep churning out things.

The idea that they (or any game for that matter) needs to keep adding weapons, adding new in game dynamics, it must be daunting. Now I'm not saying Call of Duty hasn't bumbled and fumbled the bag here, they have. But if I had literally one big wish for the next call of duty, it would be to stop adding new guns every battle pass/every 60 days. One could argue that the so called meta would go stale, but it already does go stale. Any update there is a rush to find the new god gun and then we all just sit on that. I hate to sound like a dev pitching a new game after everyone got soured on the last one but a little bit of back to basics would help moving forward. Which is to say, lets not over complicate things.

Unfortunately the sad reality is we know how this is going to go. They're pushing COD mobile to always sync with COD console/pc and they're going to keep the stupidest loving lovely rear end Hulu rear end looking tile menus because those look best on a phone and we're just going to be in purchasable DLC hell for the rest of our lives.

MW1 was big open complex maps and the community resoundingly hated it so they’ve since over-corrected by making smaller and smaller maps.

2019/Warzone was so good when everyone was in lockdown and the MTX was obnoxious but not completely broken from containment yet.

looking forward to their 4 player fully cooperative respawn-ticket based horde shooter extraction mode that sucks poo poo compared to what it's aping and will be the further instantiation of everything wrong with the game industry.

I don't think 2019 was a fluke. I actually liked a lot of what MW2 brought to the table, which was another Infinity Ward lead project. It's impossible to know where the problems start and from who, but its kind of hard to not think that a LOT of this has to do with just non-stop monetization demands and trying to please the loudest part of the fanbase. Regardless I think this series always needs to every few years take a good hard look at what is and isn't working and they basically saw what worked in 2019 and kept just hammering that until it turned into this complete loving mess that we have today.

But I feel like they do this in about 4-5 year cycles. Find some good stuff and then run it into the ground and then figure poo poo out again.

I just do not like how the "game feel" was when MW3 launched. The whole idea is that people were pissed that slide cancelling was gone. They were pissed that movement was slower. So they increased speeds of everything and brought back things like stim speed ups and they made things like climbing ladders of ziplines even faster than they ever were in MW2019. Because of this it just doesn't feel good to me but also I probably was just burned out which is why the last couple months I've been literally playing the opposite of it which is Hell Let Loose. It lets me let me inner grandpa out when gaming

Spawns are total and utter bullshit on small maps and some of the mid sized ones too.

I am enjoying the gameplay more than mw2, nothing has hit the heady highs of mw2019.

Stop adding new guns to battle pass since it's clear they are about as good at balancing as an inbred 2 legged dog with an ear infection. Or at least make them just feee additions you don't have to earn/pay to unlock when the season drops.

There is far too many ways to build a class that is either a shield, knife turbo ninja or sniper that has no foot step sounds, moves too fast and is a nuisance to kill.

Bring back simple 3 type attachments. gently caress all these dumb cosmetic variants with 2-5% variations of random stats.

Red dot/ACOG/zoom scope and let people choose a skin.
Apply that to all the attachment types. Simplify the whole thing.

Less weapon variation makes better gameplay. Gunfight mode is infinitely more fun because it totally levels the playing field and does away with all the gimmicky poo poo.

A retro mode that basically emulates MW1 OG would be great.

The Warzone meta is ruined. I'm having success sniping, and I'm a horrible sniper. They keep nerfing ARs and LMGs. it's getting silly. And the Renetti carbine is like 2/3rds the TTK of the next best SMG.

I still enjoy cod when it’s good but the AR meta really is a waste. There’s no scenario where you shouldn’t just be taking some mix of LMG/Sniper and SMG/BR or melee. The ARs don’t have the range power/accuracy of the LMGs or the speed of the SMGs and you’re just losing fights in too many encounters.

Also every MW2 gun is just too slow to kill compared to MW3 guns, so just remove them and then you could reintroduce them over time buffed.
