After trying the COD:MW beta, will you be purchasing it?
- Thread starter fluffydelusions
- Start date
I've never been very big into COD, and while the beta was fun, my real interest was that 32 v 32.
And honestly, it showed me it was more of a proof of concept.
I think that was the most fun I've had in a COD in a while, and would be the sole reason I would even purchase the game.
But honestly, its not ready yet. I kind of expected it to be more like Battlefield, but its not. Its just a regular TDM upscaled to 10x.
I really hope they keep working on it though. COD needs something different to grab the people who have left, and I think ground war might be it. But its not there yet.

It felt like the best Call of Duty I've ever played but, alas, I don't think I'm into run-and-gun shooters anymore. I've played so much CSGO/PUBG/R6 in recent years I vastly prefer the slower, more tactical, and team-based shooter style now. I will say the guns in CoD this year really feel quite excellent and the 2v2 mode is something special.
Yes. Realism mode is the COD I've been meaning to play for years now. Just hope campaign is good like the first MW games
Haven't played the Beta but have it pre-ordered.
Buying it more for the Campaign than MP though, as I normally move on to other games after the first month, because MP games don't hold my attention for long.

I need to see what Activision is going to do via their post launch stuff. But what I played I enjoyed besides ground war.
I only played for an hour. It was the best first impression I have gotten from a CoD in years but I could see myself getting bored and I know that once the horrible mtx hits I'll get tilted. It's a pass for me. I'll maybe get it on a sale if I hear the single player is good.
Yea, but I've moved from day one to a holiday sale. Something doesn't feel smooth enough, there's too many campers and the ttk is low. If it weren't for spec ops I'd be a solid out till a deep sale, but gotta see how spec ops looks next month.
Nah, it's pretty good but there are plenty of other good shooters that I still enjoy and other good games in general for me to play. Playing the beta made me wanna play MW2 or Blops 2 after a while actually. The beta just didn't quite scratch that itch for me, but it's a step in the right direction.
only if your idea of Battlefield doesn't include squad play, class based combat, vehicles with depth, destruction, good sound/visual design, etc
Nope. It's not a bad game if you prefer chaotic matches but low TTK means many encounters just depend on reaction time. MW also has all the typical COD stupidn...I mean features such as killstreaks. Ground War feels like a test hacked together rather than carefully designed and tested experience, can't really compare to BF series.
Nope, have to call Playstation to get my pre order canceled. I like every cod this Gen but advance warfare. If the sp is anything close to the quality of infinite warfare I will buy it in sale for sure.
Mp though but not did enjoy. Just not appealing at all. I went back to BFV, so disappointed lol.

It's a pretty awesome change up of the formula while still playing a lot like normal COD. I'm actually hooked on it even if it still has a lot of its own annoyances. I wish they would remove killstreaks or at least UAVs and fix the lighting in interiors to not be so dark you can't see anyone so you just look for red nametags to pop up all the time. Overall I still enjoy playing it.
The PC version runs really nice and the biggest most important change I have to give them credit for and support is the full on crossplay. It's amazing and I feel more confident in going with the PC version because of it and can play with my friends anywhere. So I am definitely keeping my preorder.

Difficult to say. They have so much more to do to get Ground War playable, balanced and fun. Its a CoD game afterall, so I don't see Activision changing up the overall playstyle for one mode which they will hardly support. Maybe pick it up a few months down the line, depending on what the developers do with the mode.
No, it's more of the same with frustratingly bad map design and spawn systems. It just feels like business as usual yet again.
ground war is legitimately bad tho. Nothing about how this game plays compliments that type of game mode.

Yeah. I like it a lot. I played till level 23 or so and perhaps I'll reach 30.
Ofcourse I curse at the screen at times, usual spawn kills, radar spam, bad hit detection etc but in general I fare rather well. I also like the sound and feel of the weapons and the movement in general. Its weighty but not slow. I think camping isn't that prevalent tbh, its there but I generally score better if I move around, only sticking to the objective when needed such as in HQ. You can really flank the opposition if you move around and don't go for a beeline. Problem is the too powerful radar, but that could be adjusted though I doubt it.
I was also impressed by NVG.
Ground War however I won't touch.

I'm curious about that too, for shits and giggles, because the base xbox version is so bad.
You'd think that after over a decade of having similar games on similarly sized maps the spawns would get somewhat better every year but nope, the spawns in MW are pure garbage.
It felt good to play I guess but I'm so fucking old and bad at these games I don't even know what the components of a good multiplayer shooter are anymore. I just run around and try to stay on objectives or shoot people, I'm terrible at it, all the design decisions are lost on me.
Mostly interested in the campaign so I'll wait for review, I can't compete with these people playing this stuff anymore.

I have LOVED the beta, hyped as I haven't been for a shooter since forever. Yet I CAN'T FUCKING TRUST ACTIVISION. And that has me undecided. I really want the game but I don't want to be laughed at by those crooks when they start making gameplay altering shit, exclusive guns, etc four months down the line when the metacritic score and the game sales are settled in.
Gameplay felt good and the servers were excellent.

I've really enjoyed the Beta, more so than any since Advanced Warfare. I'm not sure if I'm buying it yet, though; while the gunplay is amazing, there are certain things about the franchise that irk me to no end. Insanely quick TTK, bad respawns (and being killed by a killstreak upon respawn), to name a couple. Also, while I feel like this game gets rid of a lot of previous games unnecessary fluff disguised as new features, the formula is simply tiresome.
Personally I wish they would have handled the futuristic games better; sci-fi elements open up creative potential that Advanced Warfare did pretty well with, and I really like crazy traversal games. Unfortunately, the "netcode" was terrible for that game and couldn't match up with the speed of the gameplay ending in tons of frustrating deaths. Some of the weapons in that game were incredible though, like the sound wave blast shotgun. Now we're back to standard weaponry, simple and neat...done very well, but at the cost of innovative ideas. It's been over 10 years since OG Modern Warfare blew up; I can't help but feel like more growth should have happened in that time. Not blaming anyone (except maybe Activision), but sometimes old franchises can't escape the past and become time-worn.

Six hours ago I would've said fuck no, the game is garbage, but I switched to a controller after playing with M+KB for the last couple of nights for a few hours and now I'm back in, day one likely. The whole experience is just so, so much more pleasant against other controller peeps.
I like the game but it runs like shit. I don't like the menus at all. I want to see what the other maps are and if there are more for Ground War im actually enjoying that mode.
I don't think so, maybe on a sale I'll pick it up.
I think at this stage in my life I'm bored with the killstreak spam, arcadey CoD gameplay. I read that this entry was supposed to be more grounded and "realistic" but after playing the beta I'm not seeing it.
Rainbow Six Siege has absolutely spoiled me and will remain my go to FPS for the foreseeable future.

Nope. It's been 12 years since Modern Warfare 1 came out, and this game plays pretty much exactly the same, if not worse.
While i enjoyed it early with friends and was always on top of the scoreboard on my team i decided that COD is simply i dont want from a MP FPS game. I need teamplay, coordination, a TTK which gives you enough time to shoot back and still have a chance to win the fight, wow moments. Apex and BF are still my go to games for that. COD has such a short life time (in terms of how long my friends will be playing it) that i will end up playing solo and not having fun at all.
Maybe, I need to see how much content there is in day one. How many maps can I expect? And I am waiting to see exactly how nice the SP is.
