What can I do to not match make with PC players with a mouse? I'm on Xbox, and I'll see the PC monitor with a mouse icon...
Having the same experience. The most balanced mode is the campaign till now.....
I really want to play the campaign, but the cutscene skipping has me worried. How prevalent is that?
I believe go into Options then Account and you'll find a selection to turn off crossplay.
Go into the settings and disable crossplay. That's the only way.
Euphrates Bridge is a really really shitty map, might even be of the worst map i've ever played in a video game.
Seriously what did cross their mind to pull out this bullshit ?
The maps in general are bad in this CoD, but this one is a particular case of what should never be done in a multiplayer game. The respawn are fucked up, you can't play the game the way you like because that is a fucking sniper's nest and the map consist in 1 bridge and 2 fucking opens.
With time, this CoD might join Ghost in my personnal ranking of the worst COD games because of this shit.

It's supposed to be. My guess is that if a PC player joins a console player's party, they join the console pool for matchmaking (and vice-versa).
I absolutely love everything about this game. Haven't tried Spec Ops yet though.
The map complaints are expected, but I don't have a problem with the ones I've played so far. I mean, can you really think of any multiplayer games where people actively praised the maps within days after release? It's either hatred or ambivalence at first. You need time to get used to them to form a true opinion (even if that's eventually disliking them). Plus I don't think there's anything as bad as Interchange from MW3 in this one.
I'm also glad they didn't include any remade maps at launch, because those would've instantly become the favorites and made people dislike and avoid the new ones even more.

Crossplay is input based. The KB+M advantage is largely overstated in this game. Controller users more than held their own against KB+M users in internal tests.
You are correct.

Anyone using a DS4 on PC? Controller is not detected for me and input device is greyed out in Options, so I literally can't play the game right now (it's an HTPC). Using the official dongle.
I tried DS4Windows so now it detects *a* controller but doesn't actually work (yes I enabled gamepad in settings).. sigh...
edit: playing through Steam overlay and that works fine... lul

What was happening the first couple of hours at launch?
My first few matches on PC were putting me in lobbies populated entirely by Xbox users with controllers.
When do the challenges get reset? I felt like they were bugged while I was trying to complete some of them.
I think the problem with the maps is that it only allows for one/two styles of play which is... camp? Because honestly, in any mode except team deathmatch the footsteps are so loud you can basically pre-fire before someone even crosses the corner.
Dead silence is a joke (you can still hear everything) and crouching is like you are carrying a body behind you.
I appreciate that they tried to make all the "camp spots" easy to circumvent but it becomes SO easy to guard a spot. Heck, do a double claymore build and you have an automatic 5 kill killstreak most probably and then from there you just roll.

Tonight is my first night playing. 4 matches. Maybe 5? I've finished with most kills in each one I've played except 1, and I haven't camped at all. Camp is a viable strategy for someone who wants kill streaks, but I don't think it gets you a win.
If people had dead silence all the time we could actually move around the map. Since it's this cooldown thing the advantage is to the campers because they're just sitting in a corner and can hear you loud ass footsteps coming.
You can do some cheese to make spec ops more bearable; like having one person sit back in relative safety to have them act as a spawn beacon. It gets easier as you unlock perks and the like, like scavenger etc, but the way it is now should be toned down just a wee bit. Having two difficulties to select would be nice.
I've noticed this as well for headquarters. People farming kills and not fighting the objective. My team was basically negative k/d wise but we won with double the points because of holding hq's.
This is my first call of duty ever and coming from the shitfest that is called battlefield V im really enjoying it. Plays a lot like a good battlefield 3 or 4 copy but with newer graphics.
I like the big 64 player mode aswell as team death match.
Im having fun and that is all that matters to me.

I generally don't watch streamers but I'll put one on in the background for the hell of it. The weapon charm is cute.
It is really a shame that Activision gutted Sledgehammer. Their two games are the only CODs I really enjoyed this generation.
The MP is really disappointing. Bridge and Palace maps are truly atrocious. Same shit happens every time in Piccadilly also: enemy squad gets pushed to the back of Main Street and the match becomes a snooze fest. What's up with getting 1hk by a shotgun bodyshot when the enemy is fucking miles away from me?
Losing. If you got bad players on your team and some good snipers take the bridge its hard to come back I guess.
I think its an unbalanced map, one side seems to have a more clear view for kills then the other.
It's weird, I absolute love Karst Quarry on ground war
The other one in the city feels like it's too much of a battlefield spacing - too much ground to cover - it's still fun but Quarry is the delicious chaos that COD excels at
I think some of the map and camping complaints will subside once people get a feel for everything - this multiplayer is starting to grow on me

Ah. Well, I only had 1 match there, and thankfully we one. It did feel like a map that could get really lopsided really fast if one side had competent players to guard bridge entrances and pin the other side down on one side.
This cross play thing is a little weird.
I leveled up from 0 - 14 and I didn't play against a single XBOX player the entire time?

Anyone know of some streamers who are eligible for this? Would like to get some of the freebies.Was this posted here yet?

How do challenges work? Can I do multiple at a time or do I have to select one?
I'm confused. I am not getting any progress for the kills with shotguns or play public matches challenges, but I'm getting progress for the kill streak one.

I'm wondering about this as well. I'm not sure what that little skinny icon/symbol is showing for PC players either. There's also an icon/symbol that might be a keyboard?
From what I've gathered you have to select the challenges.
I think it's really stupid.
How do I do that? There doesn't seem to be a way.
I'm talking about daily challenges, not the missions.
Honestly, not a fan of the game so far.
I really don't like that seemingly the only 6v6 mode is a one-life objective based game. I have played probably 8-9 matches and have played on a grand total of two maps. The way it plays is just so wildly different than past Call of Duty games that honestly I'm struggling to go with it.

I'm liking the maps so far. They're not all perfect, but I was so sick of 3 lanes that I would've been happy with literally anything different. I think a lot of the complaints are coming from people who just want to run like a mad man through the maps, which has become the default strategy in recent CoD's and I couldn't be happier with the change myself.
It takes some getting used to. It's a weird mix of lite-Battlefield and COD together. There are some maps that are just you running to get to a fight. Take it slow though. Run and gun gets you mostly dead.
That's PC.
The game is fantastic. I haven't leveled up that fast in a COD game this generation. But yeah, I think Acti and Sony pulled a fast one here because I was excited to play against some XBOX guys and despite scrolling through the players in each match I never came across a single XBOX guy.
Maybe Sony has some behind the scenes stipulations about the process?
I think there's only an icon for a controller or a keyboard. They aren't allowed to use symbols for the platforms.
As long as their page shows "Drops Enabled" they should count. I don't know of a way to filter by that but I'm guessing most of the top ones do. I just have Nickmercs on since he was on the front page.
I feel like this game needs better smoke grenades. They aren't tall enough and their duration is way too short. You often have to wait for them to reach full effectiveness before you can safely proceed, at which point there's like 2 seconds left before they dissipate.
You only get one (more on a long cooldown if you have the ammo box ability) and most of the time you need to use it just to cross an open area safely, and you're left stuck without one for the objectives. Gimme two smokes per spawn or something.
After 40 games this map finally came up for me and it was just awful.
I think a really important feature in a control game mode is the ability to backdoor points somehow. My experience in domination so far has been often getting boxed in. The maps just don't support the game type very well, especially at 10v10.
My perspective is from a solo player. I'm sure if I was coordinating with a few folks we could find some creative solutions. Involving smoke grenades (I'm sorry I just really like smoke grenades).

So do launchers only get XP from killing players? In past games you could level them up by killing score streaks, which made sense cause who the hell uses launchers often enough on players to level them up? That seems silly. I've killed dozens of streaks and had zero progress, but I killed one player and was bumped up to about 20%.
