Legit curious how anyone can find Ground War fun. It's straight up rage inducing how trash this game mode is. Do you just sit in a building and stare out a window the entire match? How are you expected to move 5 feet without 3 people shooting you from different angles? I love that it's filled with hackers too. People shooting 50m with PP Bizon, get a kill on you, and their aimbot stops tracking and their cursor goes sky high because they can't actually recoil control.

All I need to do is capture 15 flags in Ground War and I'm finding that the easiest way to do it is to join matches until I find one fresh, cap A, and leave.

100% agreed. What makes it worse are constant kill streaks coming in blowing my ear drums out and making the screen shake for the entire round. it is just honestly not a very well thought out game mode.

Tangentially related, but some of these killstreaks are way too fucking much for the reasons you mentioned. It's not a milsim, the plane and explosion noises don't have to fucking deafen me, the absurd screenshake shouldn't be making me feel physically ill.

It's a BF game where DICE stopped at the first game they made and never bothered to fix maps, tweak spawns or do anything resembling balance changes.

The mode could be really damn good but maybe the BF style does not match with the CoD combat loop etc.

Running without Ghost is pretty much viable again since no one is running UAV anymore. I've been running Kill Chain now with VTOL - Chopper Gunner - AC130. It's pretty hard to achieve, but once you've got your VTOL you pretty much are guaranteed to get you AC130. Which is a ridiculous combo. First, you are harassing your opponents with the VTOL, then you absolutely wreck with the Chopper Gunner and when they think they can properly play again they get their shit blown up by the AC130.

It's no surprise when the entire enemy team has quit by the time I'm out of the AC130...

Is it just me or is the map design in MW the worst in the series ?

Especially Tavorsk Bridge where you can shoot from the bridge directly to the spawn area of the enemies ? Similar in Arklov Peak where you can rush the spawn and the enemies get spawned the same place over and over again regardless if you are right around the next corner and waiting for them to come around.

I think that's more game breaking than the m4

I don't know how they expect people to stay in a lobby and rack up 30+ deaths a match, people are too obssessed with KDR to let that happen.

Anyone use scorestreaks instead? How does that work out?

Smoke grenades and flank, or do a fake out of bullets so when they raise their shield you empty the rest of the clip.
They are the only thing that panics me at the moment haha. I did manage to catch someone trying to chase me and I shot them in the feet. Does the gas grenade make them cough and drop the shield or is that weapons only?

Euphrates Bridge I was camping in their house at A. Nasty I was. Eww.

I got Crossplatform turned OFF. I wish it was console only. PS+XBOX <3

Definitely agree with this. It has been an issue since at least BO3, I feel like. Score and kill streaks that are deafening and make your screen shake like crazy. It's not even immersive, it's just aggravating.

I have been killed so many times because the screen is going bonkers all over the place, making my aiming and ability to track enemies almost impossible.

99/100 Officer challenges complete. I'm not even going to bother with Doing Work until they fix it or someone figures out a reliable way to accomplish it.

I'm also mopping up the last of the multiplayer missions for blueprints and I believe I should have that done this week. After that I guess I'll finally play the campaign to unlock the Operators. And then finally I might take a break from the game (other than dailies) until the Battle Pass comes out.

I still like the game a lot but there are times (like last night) where it feels like it is actively working to make me hate it. Just certain matches where I get shot from behind repeatedly and can't win a single gunfight.

Was playing this earlier (on Xbox) and am starting to get sick of seeing people play with mouse and keyboard. Gives a total unfair advantage over those playing it using a controller on a console.

The worse though, is I sure i have spotted PC gamers cheating. One guy was using what could only be an aim bot. I watched the kill cam, and you could see his cursor (almost on the other side of the screen), then suddenly it locks onto my head almost instantly, killing me.

Another was using a wall hack. You could see his cursor follow my name tag on the other side of the wall. I would stop..his cursor would stop. When i moved, so did the cursor. As soon as i came around the corner he instantly killed me.

I know my nephew has come across a few cheaters too. He managed to record a few of them.

Wish there was a way to filter out PC cross gaming.
PC was supposed to work like this person below explained.
You can turn crossplay off, but my understanding is that you will only be matched with Mouse and Keyboard players if you are in a party with other players who are using KB+M.

Regardless, they show a generic TV icon for players on PS4, probably because they can't show the PlayStation logo on xbox or something.
But for some reason it doesn't and IW hasn't said anything since.

Are some maps only relegated to certain modes? I've had the game since launch and I still haven't seen Euphrates Bridge yet. I know people hate that map, but, I'd at least like to see it. I only play HC Dom, S&D and KC, though, so, I was wondering if they just don't have that map in rotation on those modes?

This game is beginning to look dead in Australia. Struggled to find a game in my native country all night in both Shoot House 24/7 and filtered quick match. Amazing how these big publishers + studios never learn that you don't sell your audience a shit product then act all sanctimonious and silent when people call it out and say "hey guys, this product is shit, mind fixing it for us?".

The .357 is my first gold gun. Shredding people with my shield class and this on Shoothouse is lots of fun.

Yes certain maps are for different game modes. Again who's idea was that? You will not see that bridge map on 6v6 modes.

The whole custom filter thing is ruining matchmaking. It takes way longer to find games in MW than it does going back to play WWII today.

On PS4 I turned it off too. Gamepad my ass, PC players are damn liars. I was doing some riot shield+throwing knife action and it was real fun. Knife only is fun because you actually have to play smart and know the maps really well so you're not caught out. Always have to know your path

I wonder why they haven't fixed drop shotting. Do they not know how? Just simulate what would happen if you threw yourself to the ground aka when you hit the ground your gun jumps all over the place and you can't aim down sights. You can't even shoot while crawling on the ground so I don't know why they keep this. I watched a killcam and this guy dropped shotted me when I wasn't facing him because he had some macro or controller thing setup.

So it seems to me that the recent patches did nothing to seriously address the camping, soundwhoring, 725 and M4 spam, or the piss-poor maps.

As before Ground War is the only bearable mode because of no SBMM.



If Treyarch builds off of the foundation that MW made then I think I've outgrown this franchise.

Wouldn't younger people be more for a run and gun style game rather than this game?

Shoot House 24/4 is such a quick way to rank new guns. It's also really good for speeding up your aiming and accuracy.

Your MMR might be too high...
I'm running into the same issue on US PC, and I know we don't have a population problem. Seeing the same players across multiple matches, and the lobbies don't even disband anymore presumably because it's harder to find players at my skill level.

My lobbies are now exclusively LVl 150+ with the occasional extremely fishy sub-55 topfragger.

Bought this game recently, played a few TDM/Dom/Cyber Attack matches and the first impressions are that the maps are massive and kinda' convoluted. Going to take some time getting used to the maps and the pace of the game.

I used to pop into this thread and the subreddit to check up on the state of the game, is M4 and 725 still the meta? Also, what are the recommended perks in this game, I had a good time with ghost and overkill in the beta, are those still viable?

Also, is stim shot still recommended, or should I run with something else in that class?

After hitting 155 a week ago, got bored with this one and went back to blops 4. Holy hell what a difference. 2-4 k/d games with 30+ kills stands in such contrast to this mess. Specialists are still stupid, but I actually found myself having a good time. MW in it's current state is not a good time for me.

The changes to the black market are great too. Played for five days and got enough crates for the weapon of choice bribe. I'll check back in on MW in 2020 or when BR drops.

So mounting doesn't do anything to player visibility...its only upside is that it can help you pop to a wall hugging position quickly, right? Me and my buddy tested it in a custom match, there is literally no lean involved when propping against a wall.
