Right? That has never & will never be the case for any FPS, ever. Higher FOV, better frame rate, better tracking, better movement, easier recoil management, etc. Aiming with a thumb will never have the ceiling a KB+M has.

I am loving this version of Call of Duty. For me the best multiplayer online game I played was Battlefield 4 and I have always loved the franchise. I have played a few versions of CoD and I must say I am hooked on this. I love the Ground War mode as it reminds me somewhat of BF4 and will fill my void until another BF comes out similar to 4.
Too bad specops doesn't allow splitscreen. This is dumb. The MW3 survival mode with splitscreen was great. Hoped this would fill the void.
I regret crossplay already.......
Sony pls undone it
Claymore and stuff need more counters. They are everywhere.
Yeah it's a decent bridge between CoD and Battlefield. I still find a Battlefield Conquest to be a much better designed experience but Ground War is pretty fun.
It's weird that claymores are level 1 but spotter is level 40(?). Should have been way earlier imo.
I thought the EOD thing would help but it takes quite a while to hack and your liable to trip them while hacking anyway. With the perks it's also really easy to get a constant supply of them.
Wow, all this time I've been reading about HC modes but wasn't able to find them.
TIL there's a tiny "change category" button at the bottom of the Quick Play filter UI that switches to HC.
Pretty terrible UX for a game with otherwise fantastic UX design.

It's even worse in this CoD because of the restock + shrapnel combo. So you can just spam them at will.
I mean I'm doing just fine lol. When your crosshair zips to somebody it doesn't really matter how fast you can move your mouse. I remember playing gears and kicking peoples asses with a controller while they used a mouse. And when I picked up the mouse I kicked peoples asses who used controller. Just depends on the person I suppose, and the game - sometimes the input method doesn't really matter.
I mean why do you think they went full in on crossplay? They probably did tests etc and realized it's not that big of a difference - they're not incompetent. I imagine if its something like battlefield that difference would be more extreme thou
Or at least increase the fuse time so at least you may have a chance to survive it if you hear the click and react quickly enough. Claymores are literally immediate explosion.
Not to mention Claymores unlock at Rank 1 and Spotter unlocks at Rank 38.
WTF were they thinking?
Man, I don't know about this game. Doesn't really feel like a CoD to me, feels almost Battlefield like, the maps are way too busy. I will give it a few more days but I just can't get into a groove like I normally do in a CoD.
It's the Engineer perk from previous COD games. Lets you see score streaks and equipment through walls.
It's great against Claymore campers. If I see a Claymore I'll shoot it, then toss a sensor grenade in to see where the camper is. Then I'll jump in and still die because peek advantage doesn't exist and pre-aiming and sound whoring always wins in this game.
Looks like they separated 20 player maps from the rest. That is a good change imo. I think of all the modes, I am split between domination and headquarters with a lean towards headquarters because it has 2 phases.
Ummm... what? Sure I'm yet to crack open release version of MW 2019, but at least in beta meta was all about jumping every corner because of insane peekers advantage game gives.
I played against a lobby of XBOX/PS4 on Cyber attack yesterday and damn, that aim assist is something.
Headpeeking is pretty strong in this one. We still managed to pull it out but it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be.
How come they do not have more UI options in the game? I do not need to see so much UI elements pop up. I know where the capture points are, for instance. The game is already oversaturated to me, I do not need additional elements like that. I have always hated that in COD and am surprised they have not evolved much in that respect.
So I tried to rename one of my loadouts to 'Assault Rifle' and it was blocked by the profanity filter...
Rofl I was able to name one of mine to just Assault. I'm on PC.
Patch notes are exclusive to the PS4. I saw on the menu screen an option for patch notes but they didn't even update to reflect the changes.
Dang, should've got the PS4 version.
Yeah, it's definitely goofy that they added a whole patch notes section in the game (a good idea!) that they just straight up don't use, it seems.
bleh, that kinda sounds dumb. I'm willing to try it out though.
This sounds great. I pretty much switched to exclusively playing hardcore in COD 4. Only way to play, tbh. Think I might pick it up sometime!
How's S&D? Pretty much the only mode I'm seriously interested in with COD.
So, (1) you should probably actually try playing the game because the retail maps make a huge difference (also unlocking Claymores at level 1), and (2) you have to jump precisely because there is no peeker's advantage.
If there were peeker's advantage, you could just strafe around corners. Instead, strafe speeds are so sluggish that your shoulder will get shot before your opponent even comes into view, so your best bet is to jump because it increases your velocity and throws off their aim. Of course, because every corner in MW is covered by three other corners, and because camping is so dominant, you're probably jumping into a room with 2-3 people anyway.
This is especially apparent in sniper/LMG battles in Gunfight, where everyone just sits at spawn and holds their corners. Camping is shitty game design when it's the dominant strategy because it's completely reactive to rushing. If no one's rushing because rushing sucks, the campers never find each other, and campers will never understand how toxic their gameplay is because they'll never run into each other. This is never a problem in other tactical shooters because they design around this. Offense should always trump defense in shooter design.
These maps are terrible. Can not move without getting shot from someone camping in one of the many buildings.
I agree mainly. Not the last bit though. A well designed shooter should see offense and defence being equal and down to the skill of the player. BFV for example - you can camp and do well but it takes a skill of subtly moving position and reading the fight. But equally you can be rushed. Attackers can use angles to hide the assault and also in game mechanics like smoke. The problem with MW is as you say that the map layout, visual design and pacing all favour people watching lanes.
Unless it's just me, I can't even find the actual "spec-ops" Operations.
There's only: 1 Survival map(bad), and 3 "Classic Spec-Ops" missions which are just Multiplayer Maps w Waves of Enemies.
There's apparently 4 Operation missions that unlock operator characters.
Haha I thought I was just being stupid or something when I was looking at it. I knew something was up.
My M4 is godly now with all the attachments I've unlocked. Run that and a sawed off shotgun and i absolutely wreck people. God I'm having so much fun.
Ya the camping is crazy. The map design just makes you not wanna go outside lol, so you find a spot and stick to it.
also for those on xbox one X, moving the game to an external HDD stopped the crashing for me.
Stupid changes like that just piss me off. Why change it after all these years makes no sense.
This is the best game I have played this year and the sound design is most probably the best of this generation.
