I'm in Shoot House but the lag is crazy; entertaining almost.
Yeah I'm loving it. AUG was my favorite in the beta so I'm happy I can basically run an SMG version of it, or an AR version.
this shit has happened several times to me where i was in a room and someone shot me through a wall because my ass was clipping out the wall -_-
The AAA industry, in a nutshell. They made millions off this game and can't even stop wall clipping. It's just not good enough. If you need to delay the game, then fucking delay it.
Definitely some nice skins hidden away waiting for the mtx systems.
Hopefully with such a long wait they will have even more ready when it opens up.

Shoot House is seriously rekindling my enthusiasm in this game. Even with the new update's crashes it's just so action-packed I can't stay away.
The spawns are a bit messy but aggression is rewarded and it feels like the right kind of swiss-cheese design, where there's a lot of angles to cover but nowhere is truly safe. Getting shot at leaves plenty of alternate paths to flank, and an enemy is never too far away. I think it might be my favorite "clusterfuck" map design ever, beating out Nuketown and Shipment, on the basis that explosives spam isn't really a thing and there's actually a good flow to the action. I hope IW puts out more stuff like it, and incorporates some of the design philosophy into their 6v6 and 10v10 maps.
Also, I hope the 24/7 playlist doesn't go away. I really don't want to go back to getting camped on Piccadilly.

How wide spread is the cheating? Just played 2 games of ground war where someone was in the back of the map just head shotting everyone. I couldn't even see me on the kill cam as a building was between me and the sniper just the arrow pointing to me. Makes me want to turn cross play off
RPGs? Is that a legit criticism lol? I have died a total of one deaths in like 44 levels by an RPG.
New map makes for some interesting usage for the RPG. Only time I can actually use it. Shoot House is a great map where so much shit happens at once. HQ and Domination is total chaos.
Cheats are live, but AFAIK they're using some pretty advanced detection methods that have the cheat makers in a tiff. I think they're at the stage where they have good detection but they haven't done their big ban wave yet, so you'll probably find a rage hacker here or there. Good news is that B.Net does HWID banning, so once a cheater's hardware is flagged, they're not coming back even on a new account.
Protip: try using the JOKR/Javelin on B.
I really must just be out of touch with what the community wants cause I kinda hate shoot house. Feels like I'm putting on a 12 man paintball game in my garage and someone knocked down my boxes of Christmas decorations.
New maps completely unplayable on any objective mode and is the most 725 friendly map yet. Gotta love it
Kill streaks even being on this map is some serious horse shit

I'm usually a COD player, but I missed this one at launch.
Keep checking in on this thread to see what's what, as I wrestle with a potential purchase. I don't think I've seen an OT this relentlessly negative before.

It's just frustration, because generally speaking people want to love this game, but the issues that annoy people are just so common and glaring at the moment, it makes playing feel like more chore than fun.
yep, this is what I was saying yesterday, it reeeeeeeeally annoyed me.
Challenge: Hack 15 enemy equipment using EOD.
Equip EOD and get no prompts to hack devices when looking at claymores.
Another broken thing

For warriors code 7 I restarted the game just to make sure it would work, got objective win, no progress, restarted again, still no progress
Games a dumpster fire. I truly cannot believe how it's still at low 80s at metacritic

I love being put into lobbies with people with 200+ ping, great fun haha love bullet sponges or missing shots haha.
Like wtf is this
I was in a match with more than 400 ping yesterday. I was playing with people from south America... I'm from the Netherlands.
Not sure what is going on with their matchmaking.
Same... I abondoned it for a week and I only wanted to see the new map and the adjustments to the movement speed. Well, ended up for playing 2 or 3 hours straight on the new map. Now I'm really curious for the upcoming maps and I hope they stick to a bit smaller maps with 3 lanes.
Quite the achievement isn't it.
also on ground war (the city map) on point E if you go to the window that looks into the area where the enemy spawns from inside the building you can't shoot out through the window, it just hits an invisible barrier, but people can shoot in.
The matchmaking is whack, I've travelled the whole of Europe without leaving my living room
The more time passes the worse the spawn camping problem gets. They need to fix this ASAP.
Also Shoot House is fucking garbage. Tiny ass map with a horrible spawn system. It's just mindless close quarters chaos. Just braindead running and gunning. No strategy whatsoever. I really hope this isn't a sign of whats to come.

Yeah, after watching this, I think I'm done with this game for now. Haven't even played it post patch yet and don't think I will.
Okay that last kill is a bit disingenuous. That guy was clearly already nearly dead.
The 725 is good, but it's not THAT good. It's not one shotting at that range unless the person is already hurt.

I was actually thinking of trying my hand at video editing by making a fun montage of me getting OHK'd constantly from 10-15+ m away by the "nerfed" 725 lol. The gun's still too much and the only real thing that's occasionally pissing me off in Shoot House.
Yeah, I had a fantastic Hardpoint match playing Riot Shield on it. It's such a small map that people have a hard time camping thus I really like the "old-school" feel of it. Sometimes it's a bit hectic and you get spawned in arm reach of enemies, but still a better map than Picadelly lol
Man, map design in Domination is even more atrocious than in other game modes. Who in their right fucking mind thought that B is a good and FUN position on Rammaza? And because that's not even enough some fucker thought it would also be fun and cool to make the capture area 1x1m small when you can get shot from LITERALLY at least five angles (upper building, lower building, upper gallery, lower alley, square).
It's unbelievable how they fuck up that awesome gunplay with something so fundamental. I wouldn't say anything if they had like one funmap like Shipment in CoD 4 but this is just so bad. Another fine specimen is Hackney Yard, with A having only two angles, C three, and naturally B having again FIVE.
With all the semi-random spawn in HQ and Domination it's so dreadful to cross the map and to get anywhere near you want to go except if you luckily spawn within 15m of the next objective.
From all the game modes S&D is right now the only game mode I enjoy. TDM is a clusterfuck as usual because of the spawns AND map design with people coming potentially from everywhere. HQ and Dominiation see above. Ground War is a poor man's battlefield and puts the game and it's overall design (weapon balance, TTK, map design, poor vehicles) way beyond it's limits. Hardcore is great for removing the HUD and a more immersive experience but lowers the TTK even more to ridiculousness. Free for all might actually be OK because you just kill everything that moves anyway without caring for any objective. Emplacement/Stance or whatever the fuck they call that mode in English kind of counters some poor design choices and is somewhat OK. Campers and/or defenders still have an advantage from footsteps being heard a mile away but at least the area to cover and hold is bigger than in HQ so people can actually contest the point, have space to move, evade and enter, and can fight for it at the point without dying within 0,5seconds after entering the contestable area.
It's really a shame that I can't enjoy about 75% of this game's multiplayer content. The only thing that keeps me somewhat ok with it is that I haven't paid for it because a good friend of mine gifted it to me. But imagining I'd have paid 60 bucks for it would make me super mad, I guess. And I would probably have refunded it by now until they get their shit together. Whenever that's going to be. Probably never, seeing how they never balanced out even CoD 4 back then which just proves that their games are actually work as intended and that they are ignorant to what a well-balanced game is made of.
In contrast, Shoot House is one of the better maps. That map works great for S&D and reminds a bit of Backlot from CoD4. Please keep maps like this coming.

Crying about the balance of CoD4 from what may as well be a different age of multiplayer is stupid, people weren't on social media 24/7 crying about everything they didn't like. Back then we barely got balance patches at all.
It's strange that they're doing this even with cross-play having been implemented.
If it's that what you take away I don't know what to tell you, boy. I guess I expect IW to actually get their shit together then. Or allowing mods so the community can fix it like in CoD4.
My friend did. Apparently you need to just play a game with one gun and everything will be back for that gun. Sucks.
Edit*
Just asked him about it and:
Hasn't sorted it. Got some of the attachments back but all guns now wont progress...its fucked.
Shoot House is all I play now. My kd in it is probably like 1.3 or so but I don't even care. It's a chaotic blast.
